LINN COUNTY FINANCES Coanty Judge Barton Pours Hot Shot Into Judge Duncan. Defends an Economical County Admin istration and Uhows That Linn County Is Going Ahead. To tine Kmren: -In tho IJerald of tho 10th Inst., 1 read what pur pot ted to bo an editorial on tho finances of Linn county, but which we havo reliable in formation was written by Judgo Dun can, who was Judgo of Linn county for tho four years precocdlng July 0, 1890. In this tabcrcd, effort of tho gonial Judgo to undertako toobKCurotho facts regarding tho county finances for tho past eight years and to deceive tho tax payers, who contributo their hard- earned dollars to tho county govern ment, is worthy of some consideration, omlnatidg as it does from w respectable and presumed to bo well In'ormed eourco.

TO THE TAXPAYER: Dear Sir:--We mail you a copy of the Dally Capital Journal containing an exhaustive atatoraent of Marlon county financeo, and comparloon of oxponoea of Linn and Marion counties for the past eight years. The Journal hao.madQ a persistant fight to build up public sentiment and edu cate the people of all parties to demand a less expensive county government. Jta ono has been able to show why the tax levy for county purposes in Marion county should be three times as high as in Linn- Your careful study of the facts presented and intelligent action at tho com ing election will result in reducing tho burdons of government in Marion county. The levying and spending of a direct tax on your property, is a matter of business not politios. When politicians make it a matter of politics it costs twice as much as it should cost. This has been proven in the city of Salem, and if the hands of the political machine are taken off our county officials thoy will , to the extent of thoir abil ity, give the people good economical government. When the fixed charges againBt property are greater than the profit that can boraadooff tho land, there is nothing but bankruptcy ahead for the owner of tho property. ' Prooporty in all lines of business depends on tho producer having a profit on his industry and a return for tho value of his property. If we can reduce county expenses only 25 per cant in the next four years, we will save you one years taxes. A county judge and commissoner are to be chosen in June for four years. Will you not come out and hear this subject discussed in the county campaign. Please read and circulate the facts. Very respectfully, HOFER BROTHERS.
