CONDON. OREGON. FRIDAY. JUNE 30. 101 1.
CONDON TAXPAYER EXPRESSES OPIHIOH
Sine Jay Bowermsn made the sUteraent to the council Ust week
that Ihe city ahouid purchase distillate from the Condon fclectrict Co.,
at a price named by the Company or it would be compelled to close down
IU plant,' together with a proposition that the city rent its plant by pay
ing 6 per cent inUrest on valuation of $22,500., there ha. been much
dweuaaion on the matter between the tapayera of the city. The jnoat
surprising fact to the citizene of ComH th etaUment that tM
plant coat the Company $22,000 when the same property wea given in to
the aaaeaaor aa being worth $3000. What doea all this mean? For the
purpose of assessing thia plant and depriving the Uxpayersof the mon
ey It la worth 3000, but for the purpoaaof renting it to the city It tt
worth over eeven timet that amount or $22 600. Then the txpyere
have not recieved all of the taxei thoy ahouid have received from thia
company. If the plant coat $22,800. the assessed valuation handed in
ahouid have been 8-4 of thia amount or $16 876 for all of the year, that
thia company haa operated here. If the plant did not coat over $15,000.
when new why doea the Condon Electr Co., want thia town, which is
now etrlvlng to get out of debt, pay InUrest on a much larger amount
and hand it over to thia corporation for absolutely nothing, unleaa it be
to help the electric company fatten ita bank account at the expenae of
the Uxpayera of Condon who cannot afford It. A policy of Una kind
would ruin the moat prosperous bueinese interpriae in existence, ana 1
further venture to eay that it ia thia kind of businesa policy that haa
placed Condon where it la today, financially, and the very condition Uiat
haa caused some of the aubatantial farmers in thia county not to live
and claim their residence in Condon. If thia be true, are. we aa citizen,
and Uxpayera going to aUnd by and M these things go on year after
year and be like a new crop of auckers which the confidence man aays,
'are born every day" without making an endeavor to atop it? I aa one
' feel that we ahouid now and for all time serve notice on the parties .who
are trying to charge us for something they do not have, that we will not
tolerate it any longer and that we wilt aa a. body of citizens, join In
ri,i tnr common pood of the city and Uxpayera and for no cor
poration, regardless of whether or not the partiea Wr
Standard! Oil Co., the Guggenheima, Morgan and Wall Street or the
Condon Electric Co
more or no lest.

The present council Waa elected for that very purpose.
..n.mintahla (?) reasoi it seems that a mass meeting
to be called to transact the business ef the city. Why? Simply in or
der that It can be aUcked with the gang, then the "high mogul will or
der a yell from the faithful who are ever present, they will storm ( the
fort of the people like a lot of Sioux Indians and then go home calling
the masa meeting a howling success, aay that the people are in favor of
it, rent the electric plant at any valuation and we as taxpayers are
again atung. Why not call it the Condon Assembly instead of masa
meeting?" The day haa gone by when you can Uke a tiger down the
street and call it a Ume house cat. It is a true aaymg that you can
fool all of the people some of the time and aome of the people alt of the
thne but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." The people
of thia city have been fooled long enough and they will probab y Uke a
hand in the garni themeslvea from now on. By all means call the as
sembly or Ifthat name doea not auit and you think the people can eUU
be fooled call it a mass meeting so we can rent a white elephant at a
price which will make ua feel proud of our fine business judgement. We
elected the council to represent the people of thia city and if thia ateain
roller deal la run over ua there will certainly be a come-back at those
who are auppoaed to look after the interesu of the city and of the Ux-
nvv..w.. - m
payer.

The fine rains of the past week
have brought joy to the heart of
the fanner and a feeling of gen
eral satisfaction to the businesa
men. Notwithstanding that -there
are many residents in the
county who are more . than will
ing to blame the county for
their hard luck it is a pretty
safe proposition to bank on Gil-
iiam County soil giving the re
turns if handled properly. The ;
value of the inch and one quar-
ter of rain, which has fallen dur- ,
ing the past week, cannot be
properly estimated. It not only ;
means a fair crop for the county
but the value of the financial re
putation of the county is beyond
estimation. It means that the
real estate values will not de-
crease, that everyone will have ,
more confidence in the county ,
and more than any other thing,
it shows the effects of ood
farmine. Henry Wilkins of ,
Clem has 1000 acres which will
now average 12. bu. per acre.
Will Ebbert has 300 acres which
he expects to average 25 bu. per
acre. W..N. Brown has 400
acres which will average close to
25 bu. per acre. Z. Ebbert re
ports that he expects his barley
to average 40 bu. per acre. I. A.
Hopkins' will be above the ave
rage. Geo. B. Dukek will har
vest close to 30 bu. per acre. W.
J. Edwards reports that his crop
is in fine condition. The Weath-
erford ranch will produce a fair
average crop and so on from all
parts of the county comes the
reports of those who have pro
perly tilled the soil and will as a
consequence reap a very fair
crop.--'
