1 DAILY DEMOCRAT. kr'RINu vinorsLY. The 3rownivIllc Times U kicking vic iously. Some time auo It went to wor and built, with great pains and labor, hugh man of straw, and, since its coin pie tion, has been kicki.ig in the most vigor ous manner to down it. It is as mad though it had seen a red flag, because, for. sooth, the people ol Albany appear to want a bridge across the WUlame'te river, complains that too much of the money of the county Is spent in the north part of Ui county and not enough in the south part of the county. When told that Albany was not directly benefitted by the building of the Waterloo, Sweet Home, Staytonand Mehama bridges, It cries out and asks wl did Albany favor these, then. The ans wer is plain to every Intelligent man In the county .except the Tiws man. The fnblic ntcthd these bridges, and especially, the fea- flc who live in the locality where they ore severally located. This is the universal rea- on given for the construction of a brid at any time or place. Albany Is nearer Brownsville where a bridge was lately built, than she is to either of the bridges above named, and hence was more bene fitted by the latter than any or all of the former in a direct way. The tax pa; ers of Albany, and of Lebanon, and the forks of the Santiam, and, in fact, all portions of the county, approved the action of the court in building a bridge at Brownsville because it was much needed by the public at tint f lace. And, while the tax payers of Albany and vicinity paid probably three times as much as the Ux payers of Browns ville and vicinity foi the bridge, yet, so far as is known, not a single objection wat raised by any tax payer of Albany against its construction. It is no fault of the tax payers of Albany thai many moie bridges have to be built in the north and northeast part of the county, than In' the south part. Nature has placed her largest and mot turbulent streams In the north and north' cast part, and for this, Albany Is not to be held accountable. The bridges at Lebanon, Waterloo and Sweet Home arc nearer Brownsville than they are to Albany. Al bany favored the building of these bridges. The Times says that the tax payers in the southern part of the country have been paying more taxes In proportion to their actual weaith than those in the northern half, and that the Democrat does not deny it. We do not deny this allegation and challenge the Times to prove it. The people of the south part of the county have been assessed by the same assessor as those of the north half, aud if an individual has been now and then found to be asseied too high, it is the fault in the judgment of the assessor. The people of Albany are no more to blame for this than the "man in the moon." Then, as If to cap the climax of abuse of the people of the north part of the county, (the real con tentlon is against Albany, though,) the Times avs: "For i he last ten or fifteen years the northern half has been m?nag ing affairs in their own way, taxing the southern half without its having a re pre sen ta tion." This statement la so absurd that we can not understand how any man (unless he Ir densely ignorant) could make it. Now let us see who have been on the county board for the last fifteen ycars.and then our young ftiend of the Times who is comparatively a stianger in the cuunty, can see whether the south half of the roun ty has had any representation on the board during that time. From 1874 to 1S76, the board was comprised of E N Tandy coun ty judge, of Harrisburg, J A I'orter.of JJalsey and L Cox of Albany, commission j ers. from 170 to 107& the board consist ed of Judge Johns,of Brownsville, B R Holt of Ilarrlsburg and J K Charlton, of the the Fork. From iS7Sto 1SS0 the board consisted of Judge Johns, II R Powell, of Brownsville, and A R McDonald, of Scio. commissioners. From 1S80 to 1SS2 Judge L Flinn, of Albany, M Cunningham and L Douglas, both of Barrisburg. From 1SS2 to 1 S3 4 the board was Judge Fllun, John Isom, of Center, and S R Clay pool, of 0 Lebanon, commissioners. From 1SS4 to 1SS6 the board was Judge Whitney, of Al bany, A Condra, of Ilarrlsburg, and D Myers, of Scio, commissioners. From lS6 to iSSS the board was Judge Whitnev, E T Milter, of Halscr and A Brandon, of Center, commissioners. From iSSS to 1S90 the board was Judge Blackburn, of Albany, and B W Cooler, of Center, and G W Phillips, of Scio. commissioners. During these eight terms the south half has been represented on every one, and half the time has had a majority of the board. So this silly stuff about the south half having no representation on the board explodes on the slightest investigation. The very silly stuff about Albany trans acting county business Is easily answered by saving that during all these fifteen years she has not even a.ked for a bridge, If she ha controlled county business why has she not built her a bridge if she U as selfish as the Timet makes out? Now, the truth is,tlnt it has been largely through the influence of the south part that ihtse county bridge have been built, and this is crcilitahle to the broad miaded character of ;he people of the south part of the county. We know those people well. and known they will not object to the building of a bridge, if needed, sini'ly because it happens not to It in their locality. They arc made of better stuff thnn such narrow selfishness. Why we arc told tint the business men of BrownsYillc I petitioned for the bridge at Waterloo, which ouly proves what we said last above, The bridge at Lebanon was built when Judge Tandy and J A Porter.both from the south part, were on the board. The Green's ferry bridge at Jefferson was buil when Jude Johns and B R Holt, both of the south part, were on board. The Sanderson bridge was built like wise bv the fame board. The Mehama and Sweet Home bridges wcie built when A Con dra was on the hoard all of which ihows that the south ia:t was represented when all these biidiics weie built. On the bridge at Hrowns villc over 15,000 has been spent and no man in the county objected. Albany has been settled n:arly fifty y.ars.and, during all that time has paid her taxes to pay fur ihe building of hiid&es all over the county without a mur- nier, and now, when she inlimates that she needs a bridge,the Times objects. But the Twines does not represent the feelings of the t.'iiaible taxpayers in the south part of Linn It has some imaginary grievance against Albany which crops out every few weeks. The intent of the bridge law is that bridges should be built where they are needed without reference to the locality. The need of a biidg; is deter mined by the use of it. Abridge at Albany would be used as much as nearly or other b-Uges inethe county combined L. E.
