FRIDAY, AUGUST ?6. 1932
NO WEDDING BELLS FOR US.
The Dalles Chronicle in its second long editorial on the advis
ability of consolidation of counties repeats some figures given by
a Portland association. They áre to'the effect that Sherman
county government costs $65 per capita and Wasco county costs
$50 per capita. How these figures are derived we do not know.
But, for strictly county government—wjiich is all that would be
charged by any sort of consolidation—the costs in Wasco county
according to their abstract of taxes payable in 1982 is $10.30 per
capita and in Sherman county is $9.68 per capita. These figures
ire taken from the abstract of taxes statements of the respective
assessors and may be verified by anyone
Why this sudden interest in consolidation? Since when has
the system of small governmental units become so onerous on the
people? We in Sherman county have one of the most economical
county governments in the state. We have reduced taxes more
quickly and more thoroughly than any other county. It is the be
lief of this paper that the theory of small counties is the proper
one for satisfactory government. In our county government is
close to the people All of us know our county officers, they are
George ánd Hugh and Bill; we know their habits, their dispositions,
their abilities. Because we are well acquainted with them we are
able to easily approach them on any county governmental question.
County government is simpler because it is small and because we
have a county that is an entity in occupation. This is as govern
ment should be, close to the people and understood by them. It
is th j only satisfactory means of conducting democratic govern
ment.
As we stated before in such a consolidation Sherman county
would provide a large share of the valuation. We would have
two fifths of the property and one fifth of the population. The
average per capita valuation for Sherman county i< approximate
ly $4650 and for Wgsco county it is $1670.
As far as the election of officers and the apportionment of
taxes were concerned we would be the tail of the kite. • We would
be in the the position of a well to do young man marrying a wid

It is pointed out that since roads have been improved citizens
could go to the court house farther from their homes, in the same
amount of time than formerly required. They could. It would
probably cost as much in dollars and cents as it ever did, but there
w raid bi a saving in tima. As it is now we have the advantage
of o *r good roads If we consolidated into larger units we would
lo;e what ever advantage we have gained by having good
roids to bring our government closer to us. 4
Since this propaganda first started there has not been one
person in this county that has expressed themselves as favoring
su:h a move. It is the feeling that it would be a good thing—for
