On this matter, sufficient pros
and cons have been expressed
in all parts of the county to en­
able the voters to make a fair
decision. The Journal had op­
posed the outright purchase of
the school building without ap­
proval of the voters, but since
the issue has been placed on
the ballot we believe the voters
can decide.
Malheur county does need
either a new courthouse or
complete renovation of the
present structure. It s a forgone
conclusion that the county seat
will remain at Vale, as it
should, and no one should vote
with the idea that a change
might be made sometime in the
future.
