Malheur County, Oregon Entered at the postoffice at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission through the United Slates Mails, as a second class matter, un der the act of March 3, 1879 Let's Save the County Government Too much of the government business of Malheur countv is being transacted “ off the record" with so little official action being taken on various issues that at least two matters of county-wide interest and importance have been muffed. A straw breaking the camel’s back was the slow dis integration of the county health department which fell apart two weeks ago. Prior to that, well-intentioned plar.a for new quarters for county offices were blown skv-high when a small group of individuals were saved from being extremely ridiculous in their opposition by the incoherrent and illogical statements that came from the county court itself. Insofar as official records are concerned, there has been no “ friction” between the county health depart ment and the county court. Reports from Mrs. Edna Farris, recent county health nurse, and others are to the contrary Not only have individuals in the health de partment—as well’ as most other county departments, ncluding those of elected officials— been reminded of the amount of miles they drive their cars and the amount of energy their employees exert, the reminders are re portedly accompanied by sarcasm that is uncalled for. If there had ever been any basis of fact that health department or any other county employees were over spending without due value received, the charges should have been made openly at a county court meeting with a complete record made of the proceedings. Last fall the county court, through its spokesman, the county mdge. advocated that the Vale school build ing be purchased for a court house. The proposal met with favorable response, but the entire campaign was bungled w hea numerous verbal comments castigated the opposition and brought about such wide and varied estimates for costs of remodeling that the voters were confused. If estimates had been made by an expert, residents of the county would have known how much they would have had to spend to make the building suit able for county quarters. The county court is required by law to publish pro ceedings of its meetings in two newspapers The records are brief “ to save money” but it is not known whether or not they are complete. Numerous residents of the Nyssa community have questioned the Journal about various items of expenditures allowed simply because their brevity did not give a clear picture of what was going on. Tlie court through its state association worked diligently last winter to have enacted a legislative bill that would have eliminated the need of publication of the proceedings, brief though they are. To eliminate them altogether would leave residents of the county with even less information than they now have about county affairs. Voters and taxpayers—even those who are most up set about the health department—are the ones to blame for the current upheaval. There has been to much sit ting and griping and not enough standing up and acting. Attempts have been made to consolidate various counties in the state to centralize our county government over in central Oregon We pretend to like our indi vidual rights and local control as we now enjoy them, but we won t have them long if we don’t rise from a re clining position and take part in affairs of the county before any more disagreeable incidents occur.
