OPPOSED TO BONDING
Atbeun. Ore., April 23, lSlfi.
, Editor Fiees: At a joint meeting of
the different farmers' organizations,
together with the committees from the
taxpayers league and tbe original good
roadBjissooiation, the eooloBed resolu
tion was passed with leferenoe to the
millage tax for improved roads, going
on :he primary ballot, that tbn voters
may be made folly acquainted with
the facts I have been fully directed
to ask the press of the county to pnb
: list) this resolution in foil.
Respeotfolly, 0. A. Barrett,
Chairman of Committee.
Ibe Resolution,
At u meeting of the Original Hood
Koads Association held this date the
following resolntion was passed:
Whereas, the Original Oood Bonds
Association of Umatilla county, hav
ing petitioned the oonntv ooort to sub
mit the qnestico of a 3-rnlll speoial
millage tax for the construction of per
manent roads, to the voters at the
primary election May Ifltb, and where
as the distriot attorney has advised the
court that such vote would be advis
ory onlv without legal effect, in view
nl IhH fnot and inasmuch as the ooort
has ordered the $980,000 toad bond
issue to be placed upon the ballot at
the primary nominating eleotion,
therefore be it
Resolved, that this association re
quest the county oonrt permission to
withdraw our request to have the
millage tax voted upon at the primary
eleotion May 10th. Ibe distiiot at
torney having advised that the niillage
tax would be of no legal elfeot, we
deem it best to have the vote a
straight issue aa for or against tha
f 080,000 road bonds, and be it fur
ther Resolved, that we are unalterably
opposed to the proposed road bond is
sue and advise submitting the millage
tax question to a vote at the general
eleotion in Kovemker by an initiative
petition, provided this oan te done le
gally and the bond issue is defeated.

lutely immaterial whether Mr. Barrett
and Mr. Harran or any one of the
others proposed it or opposed it. Tbe
Bond Issne is now sqnarelr before the
people on Its merits and all argument
as to the preliminaries is entirely out

The oause of good roads is the osose

ot the just recognition of the small

,n (ho vanr Far Kiel) ted people who
are owners of farm lands are quite
willing to have their holdings taxed
for fiee schools, free boobs and good
roads, for every one of these great ad
vantages adds dollars to tbe value of
oil farm finril.

will not be mislead, deoeived nor im

in opposition to tbe Bond Inane and the

RELATIVE TO THE BOND ISSUE
To the Editor: I ask space to an
swer tbe many and variona common-
loatious, statements and misstatements
of Senator O. A. Barrett, W, W, Hur
rah, Farmers Grain Union and others,
who are opposing tbe bond issue for
good road".
Mr, Barrett and Mr, Hairab are
rnr.n-l' a the Bond Issne for tbe eini
ti.u ruason tli lit tbey are like tbe little
boy who, it ho oonld not be oaptuiu,
would not play.
In foot, the eutire argument of the
opposition to the Bond Issue may te
nwept away with this one statement:
Thut tbe millionaire farmers are op
posing it tooauso it docs not tnild a
toad iu front of their individual
farms. They are selfish, aud nolens
tliey can receive the whole beuellt
they are going to oppose any move
ment for progieaa nud Improvement
wheiuty the county as a whole re
oeivrs benefit iu a greater poition than
tbev do individually.
Tbe statement justly applies that
these millionaire farmeis da not want
to spend an; money tor good roads but
want to save their money so as to buy
tbeir neigtibon ont and unite gran
aries out of tlia school houses. In all
this vast farming sectiou where so
strenuous opposition to the Bond Issue
minus, toliool bousea ate few and tar
between. Iu taot it is a uiaulesa land.
The owners and operatois live in tbe
cities aud furru from the omb s'oncs.
They wnut no development beoause it
would out flown their holdlugs and re
duce their enormous iuoomes.
These same geutlemeu who are now
opposing the Bond Issue persistently
etate that they have been for yeaia aud
still are in favor of good roads, but
during all the years that tills element
baa been In ooutrol ot tlio good toads
association they have not done one
thing. They have not even improved
the dirt roads. All they have daue
has teen to bold meotiuga, make
speoob'S, get tbeir names Iu the papers
and make a big noise and pin module
on themselves.
I put it up to tbe people of Umatil
la County it it is full and just that
tbeloidsof these baronial domnius,
where a small farm is not less tbau a
thousand aores, where there are uo
lobool houses, nn community UK', uo
rnral development, shall dictate to
the secpla of Umatilla (Jouuly. iu
all Improvement! beaiiug upon the
advancement of the oouuty as a w Mule.
I leave it to the judgment of tbe
voters it it ia not hotter to bare one
eotlou of laud with ten families ou it
and a fobool bouse, tbau to have ten
aeotioi s of land, uo mou on them and
no aoliool house. Is not the one seo
tion with the teu families entitled to
more consideration tbau the other?
II cue lords of the fiiimiug section
banl tbeir prodnte to ruaiket but ouoe
a year, Yet they insist tnat it roads
are built, tbe eutire oinnty oootributn
toward building roads for tbem to uss
one month in Ibe year. Tbey waut
tbe people as a whole , to tuild them
private roadways that they may haul
their enormous wheat crops to the
market at less expeusa and then aban
don the toad tot ibe remainder of tbe
year.
The email farmer on tbe saiull farm
hauls bia produce practically every
day In the year and vttieie tbe big
farmer oomputta bis coat and pi utile
in hundreds and thoutaurts, tbu, email
farmer must compute bis costs aud
piollU in dollars and ooutn.
Tbe row whiob b in been rai-nd sa
to tbe mauner in which (bo Bond In
ane was conceived, prepaicd aud put
on the ballot lins nothlrg to de- wHb
tlio meills of the issue, It ll uUa-
Miss Gilliam a Candidate.
Miss Graoe Gilliam of Pilot Rook,
reputlioau candidate for county trea
surer, unequivooally states that she
will conduct the oflloe without a dep
uty, if nominated and elected, and also
that sbe will give it ber personal at
tention at ail timet. When tbe col
lecting of tbe taxes was given to ibe
countv treasurer about three years ago
the offloe was allowed oneoblef deputy
mid other assistants. ' When tbe last
legislature returned tbe tax coileoting
to the sheriffs offlae the ohlef deputy
remained ia tbe treasurer's offloe, tbe
work of wbioh bad theretofore been
hardly suftioieut to keep one man busy.
Miss Gilliam iu ber platform makes
the positive assertion that she will do
away with Ibis deputy, thereby saving
1900 a year to tbe taxpayers. Miss
Gilliam is well qualified for tbe office
she seeks and is well known nil over
the comity. Sbe asba the support of
tbe voters at the primal lea on a prom
ise to oonduot tbe office in a strictly
business-like manner, at tbe least ex
pense and with tbe greatest amount of
service and consideration whiob tbe
taxpayers are entitled to. Paid Adv.
