Thus the question respecting the award,
raised by On envious New York rival is
settled beyond oavil. This same rival by
tho way is widely advertising An award for
itself. The official records prove this claim
wholly false as they show the New York
pretsnder was not so much as an exhibitor

REPLY TO TAXPAYER" "

Taxpayer" in the last issue of the
stand on the water bond question. He
seems to mistake honest criticism for
abuse 1t Is not the GAzETrE's intention
to abuse the citizens Of Corvallis but on
matters of local Importance this paper
will continue to express opinions, and,
if in doing so 1t becomes necessary to
criticise the action of any citizen, or body
of citizens, 1t will not swerve from its
duty. On questions of this kind there
may be room for argument on both sides;
but only one side can possibly be the
right one. Unless the GAZErrE makes
a gross error In Judgment, it will always
be found advocating the cause of right
and justice, even though such stand may
at times be unpopular, and antagonistic
to the views. of numerous well-to-do and
influential citizens. Men of affairs have
more respect and confidence in their fell
lows who have honest opinions and ex-
press them fearlessly, even though they
differ, than in those who have no opinions
or if they have, are afraid to express
them.
On this water bond question, there is
no middle ground. In the words Of
Cleveland, "We are confronted with a
condition; not a theory" The point at
issue is not the bonding of the city, nor
the purchase of the old water works.
These questions have been settled. If
they had not been, the stand of the Ga
zETrE might be different. The question
now is, shall the city council go ahead
under the expressed will of the masses,
and fulfill its obligations, or be thwarted
In its purpose by handful of men who
oppose the improvements, and thus bring
on damage suit of large proportions
In reply to Taxpayers" first question
we will say, that he knows, or if he does
not he can easily learn, that every effort
was made to get the water plant for less
| than SIS, 200. He, however, seems to be
at s'outs" with his colleagues, for he
intimates that the plant was worth $2o,-
600, while the complaint AYERS that the
works were mot worth greater sum
than $40, 1000" Here is little discrep-
ancy of $4,000. Which statement is
correct? The employment of Portland
attorney is not the question at issue, and
is very small matter anyway. In regard
to fighting the case on 'stechnica1ity,
we believe counsel for the city acted
wisely The ground taken by the defen-
dant was, that tee income from the water

CALL OUT DISCUSSION.

Ed. GAzRTTE:-I think you struck the
right note in your issue of December 7th, on
the road question, and would like to see
agitation of the matter until we get better
roads. Who can estimate the benefits to
this valley were q good stone or other road
built on zach side the river. If half
the money or land the government has given
to subsidizs railroads to make millionaires,
were expended on roads the whole people
would be benefited by 1t. Keep the ball

good results are gained. Yours.

plant would be sufficient to pay operating
expenses and interest on the bonds,
besides creating a sinking fund for their
redemption. Thus the taxpayers would
not be burdened by the councils action,
and, therefore, they were not entitled to
interfere in the purchase. In this posi-
ton, attorneys for the city were supported
by long line of excellent authorities,
and had our supreme court held with
them, the plaintiffs would have had no
ground to stand upon. Taxpayer
must understand that it is very common
practice to demur to pleadings. Also.
that demurrer deals with questions of
law, and, for the purpose of the demur
rer, all facts well pleaded are admitted.
The supreme court, in overruling the
demurrer interposed in this suit, decided
two questions. First-That, although
sinking fund from water rates was pro-
vided to pay the bonds, nevertheless, the
bonds were obligations of the city, which,
in the event of the failure of the sinking
fund, the city would be liable to pay, and
as taxpayers the plaintiffs had sufficient
interest to be allowed to commence the
suit. Second.-That the allegations in
the complaint, to the effect that the
water works were only worth $40, 900,
and that the city had contracted to pur-
chase them for S23,ooo was sufficient
allegation of fraud. In other words, it
was not necessary to say fraud, when the
facts described a fraud. This count
decided no questions of tact only as to
the sufhciency of the pleading. The
value of the water plant is question of
fact to be determined by evidence; not
by law
By investigating the matter, 'Tax-
ren1anded back to the lower court for fur
ther consideration, the defendants EN-
ployed counsel, and were intending TO go
ahead with the litigation. In fact, an
answer to plaintiffs complaint had been
prepared, but just before filing same,
attorneys for the city discovered that
plaintiffs had secured dismissal of the
cause. Here Is where number of per
sons think they espy 1arge-sized cat In
the meal tub. Had the enjoiners pro-
ceeded with the case, their honesty of
purpose might not have been questioned;
but by leaving the matter. In its present
unsettled condition, after causing an
expenditure of $1,000 in needless litiga-
ton, the plaintiffs either admit their de-
feat, or else they subject themselves to
criticism for acting in bad faith.
Taxpayer certainly has a wrong con-
ception of the word "bulldoze" The
