THE GOHDOII CLOBL FRIDAY i FEBRUARY 5. 1897. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY. OREQON. OBJECTS TO THE CHANGE. Uowe Creek, Jan. 29th. The consolidation of our road diotricta and the levying of another tax for coyote bounty, have attract ed the attention of all the voters and taxpayers in this most south ern end of Gilliam county. From Cor. in the Globe we see that we are not the only ones who condemn the action of our county court on these matters. From Maxwell Ramsby, formerly assessor of Clack iuias county, we learn the follow ing interesting facts: . Clackinias county years ago con solidated their road districts into two road districts, collected the road poll tax in cash and appoint ed two supervisors, paying them $5 per day -to oversee the work. The result was, the money was all ex pended in a short time and the roads near and about towns only were worked and put in condition, the balance of the county roads be ing entirely neglected. The dis gust of the people was shown at the next election of county officers. Although all were nominated, not oneoftheold officials was re-elected. We can not help but think our county court is going to meet with the same experience. It will be impossible for roads to receive proper attention in a county this . Bize by two supervisors, and good ness knows our taxes are high enough without creating two new offices at the expense of us taxpay ers. As no one seems to know anything about the new regulations the taxpayers would like for our county judge, or anyone of the board, to explain by answering the following questions in the columns of the Globe: When and by whom is this new established road poll tax ($2) to be collected? How is the money to be expended over the three hun dred miles, more or less, of county roads? Is it an equal portion to every mile of county road, or is each precinct to receive the .full amount of money collected for road purposes in such precinct, for the benefit of roads therein. Are the two supervisors expect ed to work these 300 miles of old roads and build new roads besides, with their two working crews, or are they to hire crews for every presinct in the spring of every year, when roads should be worked, and put in condition for travel? How and by what means are the two supervisors to repair and build roads after the road money is ex pended before the roads have all been worked or built; or when washouts occur, caused by the an nual visits of waterspouts and heavy rains. Our old road districts as they were, numbering 20. were even too large for the amount of people liv ing therein, especially when water spouts visited a district in several places at once, and we can't see how our county court can expect to have the roads repaired and pot in condition promptly by only two supervisors in the county. These regular washouts were the cause of the people petitioning the county court to establish new road districts, thereby making them smaller as the county settled up, so as to be able to repair roads nromDtlv and build rtew roads. If the two supervisors are to hire crews for every precinct for all times, then we think the appoint ing of the two supervisors will only be an extra expense to the taxpay ers of this county. The county roads of Gilliam county are in far better shape and condition now than many roads in other counties. Our roads, handled under the old system, with the as sistance of two road machines, can, we believe, be built and kept in shape with a good deal less expense to the taxpayers than under the new regulations. Commissioner Clymer spoke of the county court intending to make the road poll tax $1 less and col lect $2 in cash instead, and have the several supervisors hire their crews. It seems to us the county court should have tried this first. The sheriff could collect the $2 road tax while collecting other taxes, then the county clerk could notify the several supervisors of the amount collected for their districts and the supervisors could draw by checks on the county treasurer un til their share be used up. There is no doubt that the super visor can get more work done bv hiring his own crew of men. If we must pay the cash we are in favor of paying it under the old system. . Our county court surely has the I Bet Coutfh Byrup. Taniot Hood. Vte ft 1 road fever, and coyote bounty fever combined, in its most malignant form. The taxpayers of this end of the county respectfully ask our county court to reconsider these new regulations' and place the 1 j mill tax lexy for coyote bounty with our school fund. Let the county court increase our school fund so we will not be compelled to send our children to schools in other counties. It would also en able the children of our poorer neighbors, who are not able to pay rate bills, to, receive at least three months schooling every year. There are several school districts in this county where the people can't have three "months term on account of lack of funds. This great draw back (our poor school facilities) is the main cause of this county los ing so many good citiiens, who are compelled to leave here to educate their children. It also keeps our county from settling up faster. In the matter of education our county board seems to take but little interest. A 4-mill tax, which the law compels them to levy, is leviedbut that is all. We havn't heard of a county in the state that levies so small a tax for school purposes as Gilliam county does. But Gilliam . county takes the lead in offering a large bounty on coyote scalps, at the expense of its taxpayers, for the benefit or a very few sheep owners. In placing this coyote bounty tax with our school fund it will also enable the several districts to employ the best teach ers, thereby improving our schools greatly and this will induce our people to stay and educate their children here. All the taxpayers in this end of the county object very much to the levying of a tax for a coyote boun ty, but are perfectly satisfied to pay a tax for school purposes. For this reason we would like to see the lj-mill tax added to our school fund. On Nov. 3d we got up a petition asking our county court to stop paying bounty on coyote scalps. Ab we never" heard . of it, it must have been lost. It seems to us rather strange that our county court, after the experience of last summer, (we refer to the backward ness of our sheepmen in paying their share of the bounty) should again levy a tax for a coyote boun ty. As long as our neighboring counties refuse to offer a bounty it is useless to undertake to exterm inate the coyote, as they keep com ing in by droves. Furthermore, we think it unfair to be taxed con tinually for the benefit of the few sheepmen and have our schools neglected on the strength of it. Some sheepmen even object to this tax. They say that if all sheep owners furnished their herders with guns and cartridges to enable the herders to shoot coyotes they would not be bothered much. The trouble is, most sheep owners expect the herders to furnish their own guns and ammunition and the herders justly refuse to do this. If our Sheepmen'e Union muBt have a bounty on coyote scalps, let them tax themselves sufficiently to pay such bounty. The taxpayers are getting tired of being taxed for the benefit of probably a hundred sheepmen. II. H. SUMMONS. In the Circuit Court of the. Bute of Oregon, for the Countv of Gilliam. Julia F.
