The Eagle agrees with the Press
SO far as the main facts set forth in
the above articles are concerned,
but we solemnly protest against
an investigation being made by the
Pendleton Commercial Association.
What good would such an inves-
tigation do the citizens and
taxpayers of this country? Tell
us, if you please, Of whom the COM
mercial association is composed.
Is not Jackson andI McManus two
of the leading lights in that organ
ization? Think you anything de-

ton mans hand is against the tax
payers living in other parts of the
county. This is the secret of their
prosperity. We are astonished at
the Press for sanctioning the pro-
position of investigatlon.--Milton
Eagle.
WHILE we sincerely believe that
exorbitant rates have been charged
the county for printing, both by
the East Oregonian and the repub-
lican organ, yet, unlike the Eagle,
we are not inclined to go on record
in asserting that every man who
holds a membership in the COM
mercial association or resides in
Pendleton is a thief. 1t is human
nature for o man, no matter what
his branch of business is, TO take
advantage of opportunities as they
present themselves. The county
has paid too much for printing,
that wc we'll know, but the blame
rests not with those who did the
work, but with the county court,
who allowed the exorbitant bills.
Friend Hull, "tis human to err"
and, just for sake Of argument, sup.
pose the new county of Vernon had
materialized and the Eagle was
awarded its printing. Now, Hull,
in all candor--no "fibbing" or
squirming, now,--would you not,
if you were certain there would be
no "kick," charge; say $3.50 for 500

THE DELlouENr TAX MATTER.
How the Question vs. Viewed by a
Union County Paper.

Union County Paper.
The citizens of Umatilla county
are just now considerably agitated
over an exorbitant printing bill
which the county court of that
county has allowed the Pendleton
Tribune for publishing sthe delin-
quent tax list, and at the next ses-
sion of the county court in this
country our people stand a good
show Of having the same kind of a
sensation. While the Circumstance
es in the two counties are slightly
different the result will be the same
to those who pay the bills.
In Umatilla county the county
court was influenced by partisan
motives to give the printing to the
Tribune and allow the publishers
to charge their own price, while in
this county the contract was let to
what the county court considered
was the lowest bidder, and the sue
cessful publisher has taken advan-
tage of circumstances and stretched
the notices out until they occupy
almost a third more space than
they should, and if the county
allows the bill in full there will be
such kick made by tax-burden-
ed people that the members of the
court will wish that they were not
private citizens.
In both cases the county court
could have prevented trouble or ag-
itation. In Umatilla county it is
because the contract did not specify
the exact manner in which the
work should be done, thus adding
a safeguard to protect the taxpay-
ers against persons who might be
disposed to "bleed" them. .--Elgin
Recorder.
