U'n nnin ymi intiiljr ttntl Mftfo you heller. of the XOamattlhi Couairatiy Do you know that thore has been lost to Klamath County a ni" ing operation at larg;'o largrr, than thft' Pellcait Bay tumber com ranyt And do you lenow that there are two more in about tho sain class that are coiitemplalinn following the same course? What does this mean to every man, every property owner, every business man? Supposing the Pelican Bay Lumber company, The Klamath Manufacturing; company and tho Lwauna Box company clos. ed down today, wlmt wmild be the result and what would you do and think? . s . . Yet practically the same thing has occurred In the loss to the city he three projects I refer to. 1 , Vet not a move has hern made to atop the cause. What is the cauao? There has been going on here for the past two years a vicious assault upon the timber interests of Klcmath county. It has been car ried on by mrn who have li.llc or nothing to lose, except the salary und other emoluments of office and the gratification of an ambition to dictate the political affairs of this county. They have raised the cry of ''soak the timber mrn make them pay tho taxes," irrespective of the justice or r i t; h t of the matter, until it has brought about the result above stated. ' . , One of the prime factors in this campaign is (turret! Sbart, at present a member of the county court and who is seeking re-election on the slogan of "Swat the Timber Mrn." The time was when the timber men did not pay their just share of the taxes in this county. There was a lim when, under poor leadership and poorer advice, they meddled in the affairs of this coun ty and were made the cat's paw for pulling political chestnuts out of the fire to serve the selfish enda of the men who were aiippnat-d to honestly.repreaent them instead of using them to at'compliah the iies tionable ends they were seeking to serve. a This resulted in arousing a spirit of resentment against the timber people that lasted for years. But new leadership, new methods and modern, business-like methods were adopted by the timber people and they dropped their meddling and attended to Iheir own affairs. Taxes were adjusted, manufacturing started, development followed and Klamath Falls began' its march towards the goal of becoming the pine lumber manufacturing center of the world. Then entered the peanut, politician. Suddenly it was discovered that the timber of the county had not been cruised since 1910. Burrell Short and Bab Bunnell, at that timw county judge, entered into a secret contract with a timber cruising firm, paying the exorbitant price of 20 cents an acre. No bids were asked for and no ono else was con sidered. The price was so high that it stirred a storm of protest. Bun nell was defeated two years ago, that contract being the main issue. If Burrell Short had been a candidate at that timo, he, too, would have pone down to the overwhelming defeat that Bunnell suffered, Do you know what that 20 cents an acre has cost the county? Let me illustrate: There is a concern that today is having 16,000 acres contoured for 17 cents an acre, and that means that there is being done for 17 cents about four times tho work that was done, or should have been done, for 20 cents.. By those competent to know, the cost to the timber cruising firm, should not have exceeded $21,000, while the price paid by the county was $95,000. Why was this unreasonable price paid? Why was the matter secretly considered and entered into? Why, instead, didn't the county court estimate the amount of taxes the timber people should have paid, and then raise the value of the timber 25 cents, or fifty cents or a dol lar a thousand? It would not have cost the county a Cent and it would have accomplished the same end. The last cruise was made in "1910. The land covered under the first contract comprised 100,000 acres. When the cruising firm made its return, it showed an Increase of only two and one-half per cent, and that was in larch and other verities besides pine and fir. Those in a position to know claim that the 1910 cruise represented about 70 per cent of the standing timber. If this is correct, then why didn't the cruise of these 100,000 acres show some increase in the pine and fir? When the county as.icssor protested and stated that the county never would be repaid, the answer camo from tho county court, "Well, the next time it will show an increase." And it did. One. of the increases shown was the timber claim of a man named ' Roberts. The reported' cruise claimed a stand of 3,000,000 feel. When Roberts protested and the claim was recruised, it showed something like 300,000 feet. , . . . On the completion of the '100,000 acres, a second contract was entered into. This time the county court relaxed to the extent of call ing for bids, but it rejected everything, and even did not open some of those submitted, and on the closing hour of the term of office of Judge Bunnell another contract was signed with the same firm for 175,000 acres at the came pries. When Judge Goddard and Commissioner Dunlap entered office, they refused to pay such a price and it was voluntarily reduced to 16 cents. ' ) ' ' ' This in brief is an outline of the cause of thc loss to this city of the milling operation referred to at the start of this article. It is cost ing this county upwards of one million a year in wages and other rev enue that would directly flow from such an undertaking, side from the revenue' that would arise from collateral enterprises. It is this same reckless procedure Ihnt may cost this county two other enterprises nearly as l.irge. ' I have briefly outlined the situation as a foundation of what I am going to lay before you during the next few days so that you may l-.now what the tactics of these peanut politicians ere costing you every day in the year and warn you of thc disaster that tr3 ahead of this city and county if the people place their stamp of apfji-oval upon such a procedure by tho re-election of Burrell Short. I want to ask tho working people of this county if they want their opportunity for employment to be curtailed by the elimination of such big operations? . . ,1 wnat to ask thc small home owner if he thinks ho wants his in vestment in this city ' to b jeopardized by these tactics in order to keep in office a mrin who long ago should have been removed? I want to ask the business men of Klamath county if they want tho growth bf Klamath Falls to be stopped, millions of dollars worth of development to be taken away to othcy points and tho payrolls that would bo created denied to this city? I want to ask the farmers if they are willing to see this county lose in taxes the money that would bo paid by three plants like those I have referred to, and that development go to adjoining counfies. and an adjoining state? - ' ". ''. ' I have no particular love for tho timber people, but I havo some interest in Klamath Falls and Klamath county. I know tho people here and I know if they know the facts they will see that justice will he done not bnly 16 the timber owners, but also to the people who are, trying' to make a football of the one great resource and asset of the county, and that fs why I Am going to the people with this information, I'ven though some may abuse' me as' the' .mouthpiece1 of the timber crowd.' I am going to tell you the facts, and then you can do just as. you please. It will be your loss or gain, not mine.. ' : '; ;:. ' :. e. j. murray. Paid ndverHtieiuenl. ' ' IE
