WILL FIGHT DIVISION.
PalOuse Business Men Organize for
That Purpose.

Oakesdale continues to nurse her
ambition to become a county seat, and
through the columns of her weekly
Tidings gives all sorts of reasons for the
hope which il within her, saws the Pal.
ouse Republic. The fact cannot be
denied, however, even by the advocates
OF division, that taxes in both the old
and new counties would be higher. The
matter thus resolves itself into this:
That Oakesdale wishes to pull herself un
from her present position of mediOcrity
by becoming a county seat; and, to this
end few OF her politicians have coaxed,
calCled and otherwise persuaded a few
hundred citizens OF the proposed new
county to sign the petition. No at
tempt even is made at giving a sound
reason why the change would be benef-
Cial to any one except Oakesdale, the
citizens of which town probably think
of the change from the present comatose
condition OF the town which would fol-
low the creation of the new county.
PalOuse has not taken the matter of
county division very seriously-in fact,
she can't quite see why the legislature
should divide the grand old county of
Whitman, against the wishes of large
majority, when but few-very few
people would benefit thereby.
However, if there is danger, PalOuse
is ready to do her part in the matter of
meeting it, and to that end a meeting
was held in W. H. Lichty's Office Tuesday
night and a permanent organization,
with j. K. Mccormack president and B.
M. Schick secretary, was formed to fight
division. W. A. White and 6. D. Kin
caid we're appointed a committee to
secure funds for the purpose mentioned
above.
D. F. Ravens of Pennington was pres
ent and addressed the meeting, az did
also a number of Palouse business men.
All agreed that division would be one of
the worst things that could happen the
county.

DIVISION Is EXPENSIVE.
Some Facts and Figures About Tax
Levies in Counties.

According to the figures prepared nv
the Oakesdale people, the proposed new
county would have an area Of 756
square miles, population of o 600 and
an assessed valuation Of S4,O65 .OSO
says the Garfield Enterprise. In the
same comparative statement they give
Ihurston county an area of 700 square
miles, population Of 1927 and an as.
sessed valuation of $4,275, $50. Being
almost Identical in siZe, population and
assessed valuation, 1t is reasonable to
suppose the expense OF running the two
counties would be about the same. except
that they would naturally be higher in
new county, than in an old established
one.
An estimate, based on these facts, and
ngures, and not on imagination. would
nut the running expenses of the new
county at about $4,000 instead OF
S22, ,432. This does not include expendi
lures for roads and bridges.
The following figures absolutely refute
the figures OF the Oakesdale committee
that ''small counties are run at a great
deal less expense in proportion than
large ones"
The aggregate of the five counties Of
AsOtln, Adams, Douglas, Garfield, and
Stevens is, population, 1888; valua-
ton, Sl2, 2,97O,0O2; expenses, $117,6
whitman county, population, 25,36O,
valuation, $13,65S, ,08O; expenses, S67,-
l91, showing that the average per cap
lta tax for current expenses in Whitman
county by these figures would be 81 81,
while in the smaller counties it would be
81 26.
