AND WE REMEMBER. ,
All this implication of tbe county
court in relation to high taxes amounts
to praotioally nothing, and the friends
of Mr. Gilliland are weloome to make
all out of it they can for oampaigu
purposes. Tbe orux of the tax ques
tion fioes beyond the probate court
of -any county. When yon plaoe it
where it aotualJy belongs it'resti with
tbe legislature. There may be honest
differences of opinion in tbe contrac
tion of county roads, for, instanoe.
But the present high taxes are not
caused by road bnilding in Umatilla
oonnty no, not on your ' tin-type.
' Tbe apportionment for loads in this
oonnty this year is not A 1-2 mills, bo
let us proceed direot to tbe real tax
factory. Recently the Portland Jonr
nal took tbla squib from the Portland
Oregonian as a text for an article:
"Tbe state must be extiloated from
tbe tax bog in wbiob it has been
plunged by too liberal expenditures of
, poblio money. Tbe Oregonian does
, not at all soy that. Governor West is
solely responsible for present pondi
tions. -Everybody is responsible

detriment rathe than an aid to tbe
prohibition movement. 4 -.
"Oregon will quite likely go dry in
November. The .state-wide prohibi
tion sentiment is already strong In
this state, and will be fanned into
flame ty tbe small army of anti-saloon
spellbinders who are te flock Into
Oregon, beginning next April. '
"Bot although Oregon is voted dry,
it doesn't follow that tbe state will be
dry in fact." Tbe same old problems
will arise, tbe same old gam-shoe and
speak-easy aobemes of law evasion
that have aooompanied prohitition
elsewhere. Tbe oanse will continue
to suffer beoanse of tbe virtual part
nership between tbe federal govern
ment and tbe liquor tiaffio. Tbis
oonstitotes too great a handicap.
"What tbe Leader would like to
see is the saner amoant of ! effort de
voted to national, prohibition that is
now devoted to desultory, - piecemeal
and ineffective prohibition. Before
long one of the great parties would
weep the country on a platform to
prohibit tbe manufacture and sale of
intoxicating beverages and deolariug
them contraband .. wherever found
Before long Congress' would bend to
tbe wind and embody tbe people's
mandate in federal legislation.
"If tbe anti-saloon leBgners .want to
really kill tbe snake, it's .time tbey
sbonld begin stamping on its head
instead of its tail." ..... . . . , .
Pilot Rook baa again responded to
tbe call of progress. Ber latest stroke
of enterprise is a twelve room bospital
oostrnoted and equipped beyond what
a oity of that size would seem to war
rant. Two physioiana and a drnggiat
of tbe town joined bands and with the
support of tbe Commercial CIcb and
the publio spirited oitizens, their
hopes have teen realized.
In seoret to ride rough shod over.
West's vetoes of appropriation bills at
tbe 1013 session. ".
The ambition of the gang was to
override every veto no matter , what
the merit of . the measure. It ,was
sufficient that a proposal for economy
emanated from the governor's office
down with it was tbe slogan of tbe
A'
senate and honse maohioefv and with
It was tbe voioe of tbe Oregonian.
Tbe Oregonian laogbed when the
gang laughed. It wept wben tbe gang
wept. It was glad wben tbe .gang
was glad. It was for putting the gov
ernor "in a bole" whenever tbe gang
was for putting the" governor "in a
bole." .
Whenever West vetoed an appro
Dilation bill and the maobine crowd
passed it over tbe veto, tbe Oregonian
pointed to the result with pride. It
patted tbe gang on tbe back. It en
oonraged tbe bandits to new endeav
ors, It called tbe state to witness
bow the patriotio legislators - were
showing the "foolish governor" his
platie.
Tbe Oregonian simpered and smiled
wben tbe gang passed the notorious
tbcasand-dollar Carpenter approprla
tlon over tbe governor's veto. It was
oomplaoent when Ibe ooutplrators
passed 10 bills raising officials sslar
I s in 12 counties over tbe governor's
veto. ;;.
It applauded wben tbe machine
passed tbe f 1.2F 0,000 general appro
priation bill over tbe veto iu wbiob
there were nearly 1 300,000 of Items
of foreign appropriations to wbiob tbe
governor bitterly objected. It ap
proved wben the gang put the emer
gency olanie on tbe vetoed bill so tbe
people oouldn't reaob it with the ref
erendum. "
The total appropriations for tbe
two years an a result of tbe gang's au-
daoiona operations are 18,850.000.49.
That is the sum taxpayers most dig
op for 1913 and 1914,; 1
History oannot be' repealed. It is
tut a year slnoe the faols herein de
scribed .transpired. Tbe Oregonian
was a cart of the conspiracy in the
last legislature. It was tbe publloity
medium. It backed tbe gang. It
sponsored the program. " It tossed tbe
bosses. It lubrloated tbe machine.
IU cant about high taxes is about
