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.
