Answer to Keep
County Out Of DEBIT

Editor News Record:-In regard to
the article published recently in the
News Record under the head "Keep
the County Out of Debt" 1 have been
urged to make reply, and after perus-
al OF the article 1 find ample scope for
animadversion. Many of the state
ments (or rather misstatements) made
are so erroneous as to almost lead us to
believe that the authors veracity is
questionable, or is he under the delu-
sion that the taxpayers Of the county
are lot OF numskulls capable Of swal-
lowing so much blarpey?
After such tax levy I agree with
the writer that most Of the jurors and
witnesses will depend on the fees re-
ceived to pay their expenses. But
further OH he says money was more
, plentiful this year; then why should
he derend oil the fees? Is 1t because
after paying his tax he had nothing
leftY
But why the writer should have the
audacity to say that Wsllowa county
warrant would be beggar on the mar,
ket and that you could not get rs cents
on the dollar, is more than can com
prehend land with our great natura
resources it is an injustice TO the coun

find purchaser at two per &c dis

prices were higher than ever before

Zone of our chief assets) were ever any
lower tnan last year.
Evidently the article Is got up t.
mislead the people into believing tina
the levy was iustifable. Could no
any court have got the county out o
debt by such a levy? But why tn
court should do it just at a time whel
capital was beginning to flow into tn
county, and just before thousands o
acres OF government lands were becom
ing assessable and passing into th
hands OF large lumber companies, W
N cannot understand. Would 1t no
have been wise to have waited and ha'
