DAIRYING IMPORTANT
The Malheur Jersey Cattle club, representing
one of the elements o f the dairy industry in
Malheur county, will hold its third annual
spring dairy show on the Nyssa sehoolgrounds
Saturday, May 15.
Malheur county can well afford to court the
favor o f the d aily industry because o f its im
portance to the county. Dairying undoubtedly
will always be one of the major agricultural
activities in the county and will probably be the
basis of at least some of the industrial develop
ment of the territory.
Recause o f the essential element o f dairying,
it always has been and probably always will be
an anchor to prevent the farmer from slipping
into the swift current o f financial bankruptcy
during periods o f “ hard times” .
WE WILL VOTE ON BETTER ROADS
Already burdened with the costs o f improve
ments incident to urban and rural growth,
Malheur county is still faced with the problem

AS
TO THE VOTERS OF THE R EPUBLICAN P A R T Y OF
MALHEUR COUNTY, OREGON:
Please note that I have lived over 29 years in this County
o f Malheur, State of Oregon; that I have helped to 'build its
roads and canals, during the yearn since I came.
I am a farmer, and I aim also tihe owner of the Pioneer Sand
nnd Gravel company, and I am very much interested in good
roads In the county for all of us.
I believe the county ought to be divided into districts with
three directors and one road supervisor in each district.
I would opipose buying $180,000.00 worth of equipment. It
would depreciate 50 per cent the first year and be a wreck the
second year. The county can contract their roads gravelled cheap
er than they can maintain their equipment and hiie labor.
$180,000.00 will go a long way towards gravelling our main
roads. Let each district keep all road tax money that is coll
ected in their district. Give their supervisor a local crew; one
which will be on the Job and get something done.
W liy send men from Vale to Dead Ox Flat to do a job, when
(here are men there who can do the work. They don't need an
engineer to tell (hem where the mud holes are. They know and
It don't need surveying. It needs gravel and drainage.
Yours Rcsi>ectfully,

o f road improvement.
A t the primary election to be held May 21,
residents of the county will be asked by the
county court to approve a measure providing
for a 10-mill levy each year for a period of five
years for road improvement. The proposal
would raise approximately $230,000 a year,
which county officials reported would be ade
quate for a road betterment program covering
the entire county.
Roads in the county are reported to be in a
deplorable condition and not in any way suit-
ab e for the ever-increasing traffic that is de-
ve oping from the increasing population and
agricultural activity. The work o f the Nyssa
road assessment district is an outstanding ex
ample of what can be accomplished with a
reasonable amount o f money.
The county court, studying the situation for
several months, has gathered all of the inform
ation that it can for the enlightenment of tax
payers about the proposed road work. The of
ficials have outlined a definite program includ
ing employment of an engineer, classification
of roads and purchase of equipmenf, that will
be placed in effect if the voters approve the
plans.
Because of the six per cent limitation law,
the county cannot possibly raise enough money
to buy new equipment and improve the roads
under the regular budget system. The money
must be raised by a special method of some
type. Conditions have answered the question
as to whether the county needs the roads, but
the taxpayers will have to decide the question
as to whether the money is to be provided.
