MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THURSDAY, April. 23,
HELPING THE NEWSPAPERS
One of the most difficult tasks In
a newspaper office is getting the
tacts relative to births, deaths and
marrages in the community. Many
people take it for granted that when
a person dies, the editor is familiar
with every detail of the life of the
deceased and his activities, when, in
fact, he knows absolutely nothing
about him and he has to get his in
formation from other sources, the
same as other persons would have
to do. It is the same with regard
to marriages or other more or less
important happenings in a commun
ity. In almost every case the editor
has to dig np the particulars or sat
isfy himself and the readers of his
paper with a meager and Inaccurate
account, The average editor of a
country paper has something like a
mlllinn nnrl a half Of things to do
and to think about in a week and the
natrnnft ran hardlv overestimate
how mnrh he aDoreclates any efforts
they may make in furnishing him
the facts for news Items.

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor:
Along with others similarly situa
ted with land possessions in the arid
district north of lone, Morrow coun
ty, bordering on or located within
the purvey of the government re
serve for irrigation I wish to protest
against the unjust rating of this
land: now largely abandoned on ac
count of failure to make cultivation
pay any profit or even expenses of
farming it. '
This land for several years has
been rated above the offered selling
price by the holders, against their
protest. Much of this land has fal
len into hands who are non-residents
through mortgage foreclosures and
over-induced speculation; together
with many homesteaders who have
struggled with their residence set
tlement and obtained title thereto.
Personally and under protest I have
paid on a rate of taxation far above
the selling price on this , land.
have not been able to rent it or even
give the use of the land to some one
to till It. Surely Morrow county tax
appraising board should consider
and more fairly comparison with
other land values, appraise this land
for taxation.
Now I am not a kicker on taxes.
I always vote for school and other
public need assessments. I only ask
along with others that discrimina
tion cease and a fair valuation of
land values take its place. If the
owners and residents on land in that
section make a common protest, a
readjustment will take place. Voice
your sentiments and get results.
Yours for fair play,
C. W. BARZEE,

Judge Lawrence T. Harris of Eu
gene, candidate for Justice of the Su
preme Court of Oregon before the
coming primaries, is a native of Ore
gon and a graduate of the Universi
ty of Oregon and the law department
of the University of Michigan. He
has served as judge of the second ju
dicial district of the state since 1905,
and he has the unanimous endorse
ment of the attorneys of the Lane
county bar, 64 in number, for the lm
Dortant office he seeks. Judge Har
ris stands high In the legal profess
ion In this state and is a man tnat
every republican can conscientiously
support. Four Justices of the Su
preme Court are to be chosen, and
.Tndee Harris nromlses if nominated
and elected, that he will, during his
term of office, to the best of his
ability, continue to administer law
as It is, without regard to wealth,
poverty or creed of any litigant or
attorney. The record Judge Harris
has made during his term of office
as presiding judge of the second Ju
dicial district is proof that he will
faithfully carry out any pledge made
to the people of the State. '
There is no provision in the law
for the swearing in of voters at the
primary election, and if you are not
registered by April 30, you will fail
of the privilege of voting for your
choice of candidates on the republi
can or democratic tickets. Only
a few more days left before the books
close and you will have to hurry.
The ballot at the general election
in November will likely have the
appearaiice of an Indian blanket,
both with regard to size and variga
ted appearance. ' The socialists
have started a movement to repeal
the initiative and referendum; the
Grange will try to abolish the state
senate; U'Ren's latest scheme is to
elect the governor by the people and
give him power to appoint all other
officers. Besides these, political
fads and fancies by the score are be
ing hatched to confuse and lead the
people into a ohe man government.
Oregon is passing through a politi
cal revolution. When will it end,

THOMSON BROS.
Charles L. McNary, dean of the
Willamette law school and the young
est man on the Supreme Court bench
at the present time is seeking re
nomination for that office on the re
publican ticket. In announcing his
candidacy for Justice of the Supreme
Court, he sayB: "During the time I
have been a member of the Court I
have labored hard to interpret the
law as a living, progressive science,
rather than as a rule to old to be cor-
rftc.ted If found inapplicable to pres
ent conditions." Of the four candi
dates to be chosen at the primary
election, it is our opinion, from Mr.
McNary's past record, that he should
be one of them.
Better roads for Morrow county.
Every day will be a Good Roads
Day before long.
We give place in another column
to a communication from Mr. C. W.
Barzee, of Portland, a "foreign"
landowner who Is compelled to pay
taxes in Morow county. He regis
ters a protest against what he terms
an unjust rating of the land for tax
purposes as it is a tract so situated
that he is unable to get any revenue
from it. From the argument set
up by Mr. Barzee it may appear that
he has just cause for complaint but
it is a fact that his land is situated
along side of another body of land
that is being successfully farmed and
cultivated at present time, and has
been for a few seasons past and Mr.
Barzee should get busy and put his
property in the same paying condi
tion. What one man is able to do in
the same' locality, another can do if
he is bo disposed, but if he shall
choose to let his land lay idle and
grow up to weeds and become a men
ace to adjoining property on account
thereof, he should not blame the tax
authorities of . Morrow county for
placing a rating on his land the same
as the Industrious man has to stand
for what is next to him. : At the
present time there are thousands of
acres of such land being held for
speculative purposes in this county
that should be claced under proper
cultivation, and if these parties de
sire to let the lands stand idle ana
befoul their neighbors with weeds,
let them pay sufficient tax to help
the other fellow in his struggle
against them. The county is not to
blame, as we view it, for men are be
ginning to make gooa all over the
north end of the county. It lays
with the owners themselves.
MR. FKASEK ON GOOD ROADS.
Gooseberry, Or., April IS, 1914.
Editor Gazette-Times,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-
What is a Progressive Roads Ad
ministration? Morrow county has
long suffered from roads. The law
requires that 60 per cent of the
Road Tax shall be expended in the
district from whence collected.
Heretofore the Commissioners have
sent out "Road Grader Crews" un
der eliormous expense, the moving
and going over and over the same
roads has caused a general dissatis
faction. It would be better to place
the Districts In divisions, placing one
Road Grader in each division to be
used in turn.
Let the Supervisors supervise the
roads, let them use the graders with
other tools and make every district
a district of competition with the
other, then the roads would benefit
all. . -

trict is waste, and I would advise
getting a machine drill to save labor.
The balance of the BO per cent
would build bridges, take care of
water-spouts and begin construction
of crushed . rock roads, . where the
traffic is heavy,, We should place a
contract for, two miles of cruBh'ed
rock road to find the cost,, after that
the way would be easier to follow.
All roads must conform to a certain
grade, Don't follow section lines
but road grades. The roads of the
future must be made to stay where,
built. .
