OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-04-21


The last issue of the Citizen is
calculated to give the impression that
the whole of this end of the county
is a grasping, undetermined, blood
sucking community, and a perusal of
its columns would suggest the
existence of sectional prejudice
between this and other sections Of the
county, which is as far from the
truth as day is from night. The
exact situation of affairs, as they
now exist, is such that it is difficult
to express ourself without being
wrongfully interpreted. 1t seems
plain that brother Lorton is allowing
circumstance which has aroused his
ire, to blind him to the difference be-
tween wrong and right, justice and
injustice. The march of events which
have led on to the present aspect of
things is about as follows: The
people of Mineral decided to make
another effort to secure direct means
of communication and commerce
with the county seat (Which they have
earnestly asked for several years.,
to which the etrnal fitness of things
certainly entities them, and asked
Weiser TO assist them in getting their
desires granted. This Weiser con-
sented to do, especially as she realized
the immense benefit to herself (Weiser
does not deny that great pecuniary
benefits would accrue to herself from
such a road).
The farmers of this valley, anxious
for easy access to the camp where
they could dispose of much produce
for cash, which would help them pay
their taxes and save many from
going delinquent, also were eager for
the road. Thus the residents of
Mineral and Weiser, and the farmers
of the valley honestly and openly
asked for that which they felt was
only their just due-in reality it was
only asking that they be allowed to
spend, for an improvement at home,
the road taxes which they would pay
this year. ct was fond hope and
disappointment was bitter indeed.
but it has not predjudiced any against
improvements in other parts of the
county in the leasD. Our neighbors
of the upper country did not look at
it in the same light and protested, by
articles in the Citizen and otherwise.

To A. Nj. Williams, an Alleged County Com

To A. NJ. Williams, an Alleged County Com
missioner.
Can you explain to your constitu-
ents your reasons for turning a deaf
ear to their prayers, when they almost
unanimously petitioned you and your
fellow members of the board for a
wagon road that was an actual neces-
sity2
You are further asked to explain
how you can rally up the cheek and
gall to face your fellow men on the
streets after doing them such griev-
Gus wrong?
Do you imagine that you are pos
sessed of knowledge of the needs
of your constituents superior to that
of all your fellow men combined?
Had you particle CT manhood
you would have stood up in support
of the desires of those who placed
you in Office, and, though you might
have felt it would have been useless,
would have placed yourself on record
as having some regard for your con-
stituents, who now, since your action,
utterly and heartily detest you. We
would not like to be in your shoes.
We care too much for the regard OF
our fellow men.
You and your fellow members, by
your unlawful acts, have brought, OF
will bring three law suits against tho
county, by outraged claimants who
have no other redress to secure theil
just dues which you have voted to
deny them. These suits you (Wil.
liams), by your vote and explanations,
could have avoided. The law anG
the facts in all these cases are so plain
that any ordinary minded man ought
to understand them, and the result
cannot help being against the county
with costs for the taxpayers, whose
interests you pretend to shield, tc
pay.
Economy with vengeance.
No doubt when these suits come or
for trial, as they surely will and that
in a very short time, you and YOU
fellows will employ counsel at the
countys expense to defend your I'M
lawful acts.
In few days, Mr.. W, there will
be presented to you for your consid-
Grafton modest request from your
constituents, to resign the office you
have proven yourself so incompetent
to fill. We hope that you will com
ply with their request, for by so doing
you can in part atone for the mischief
you have done. If we were you, we
would not wait for that document to
be presented, but resign at once. If
you continue TO sit in the meetings of
the board, regardless of the request
to step out, you are certainly dead to
shame.

"S"ihoe Vic appropriation VI al
money from the county. If brother
Lorton, felt the same way, we have
heard no one question his right to
say SO or to allow his readers to speak
through his columns. We do not
know what has passed in private be-
tween himself and those who with
drew their patronage, but we have
heard them express themselves in
public as not in any way opposed to
his giving his own views or the views
of his neighbors against appropriating
county money for the Mineral road,
or upon any other pubic matter; but
that in going out of his way to show
that Weiser merchants could not
compete with other points in the
mercantile line, and falsely asserting
that it WAS geographical impractic-
ability to locate the road in question,
they felt that he was unnecessarily
damaging this place as commercial
center and recklessly disregarding
the mutual interests between himself
and his Weiser patrons. The men
who advertise thereby assert their
ability to cope with competitors, and
the publisher who takes stand point
that strongly implies, if not openly
asserting, their inability to do so and
disputes the facts his patrons set
forth, is violating the duty between
himself and patron and obstructing
the very conditions he is being paid
money to bring about. For these
reasons they withdrew their adyertis-
ing-and no one can be further from
