Dear Sir and Friend:

Dear Sir and Friend:
We understand that your town
and county are going to vote on
Local Option next June, and we
hope that from a moral and busi-
ness standpoint your good people
will do everything that is possible
to carry the day for better things
Before and after Local Option in
our town and county we were en-
gagged in the general merchandise,
banking and flour mill business.
We are glad to cay that there is
marked improvement in cash re-
ceipts and monthly collections in
all kinds of business, especially the
general merchandise business, since
Local Option carried. About one
year ago we sold our general store,
and the present owner, with stock
from $4,000 to $4,000, sold dur
Ing last December goods to the
amount of $4,000, over $1,000 be-
ing cash. This was the largest sale

PROHIBITION IN SHERMAN COUNTY.

without the levy of any direct ia,
and Moro with tax of only thre'
mills-but now with increased tax
alton they are running behind, ant
the city warrants of Grass Valley
and Moro are offered at discount
With these facts staring them II
the face, is it any wonder that bus.
mess men as rule are not rank
prohibitionists? Were Mr.. Gates
to view matters from a purely bus.
mess standpoint, possibly he could
understand why others do not see
things as he does.
A DROWNING MAN GRASPING AT
STRAWS.
Certainly if Mr.. Shut were as
confident Of success as he pretends,
he would confne himself to the
truth. In the article above refer
red to he says: "Ihe above letter
speaks for itself. We have in our
possession several others of the
same kind"
Possibly he has, but of what val
ne are they if they are not true?
Anybody can make assertions, but
simple statements not backed up
by facts are valueless. Anybody
can say, as does Mr.. Gates and re.
iterated by Mr.. Shut, that the en-
forcement of prob ibition results in
lower taxation, but an examination
of the tax rolls of counties that
have eliminated the liquor traffic
usually reveals the fact that county
taxes have increased slightly and
city taxes have doubled or trebled,
as they have in Sherman county.
These figures can be easily obtained.
Since Mr.. Shut has held up Sher-
pan county as an example of the
splendid" results of prohibition
from financial standpoint, let him
prove his assertions by getting a
statement from Clerk McDaniels
as to the rate of taxation in that
county since prohibition has been
in vogue there and not rely upon
the simple statement of merchant
in the obscure town of Kent.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
Let Property Owners Learn Where
the m MOney Is to Come From He.
fore They Cut off Public
Revenues.

A proposition is to be submitted to
the voters of Morrow county at the com.
ing general election to suppress the
liquor traffic throughout the county. Il.
which is one that especially concerns
the property owners of incorporated
towns, since 1t is direct thrust at the
revenue raisi Z powers OF every munich
pality, and before property owners de-
elde upon this step let them inquire
from what source the money for carry
ing on their several city governments is
to come from if the revenue from the
loon licenses is cut off, and let Them
also consider what their taxes will be in
that event.
Fer the year 10 Z the city OF Heppper
collected on a special city tax S2l33.
The revenue the city receives annually
from the nine saloon licenses, at $500
year. is $4,000. Take away this and the
city would have to raise from direct tax
three times what is now collected, and
the levy would necessarily have to be at
least p mills. Taxpayers of Heppner,
are you ready to vote this burden upon
yourselves?
In 1907 the town of Lexington levied
a 10 mill special tax and collected there.
from SAG. Its one saloon paid license
OF 5000. Allowing that the annual ex.
penses of maintaining the city govern
ment are $1046 (Which is the apparent
income the city had that year from taxes
and saloon license) and that a direct tax
of Is mills created fund of only SAG,
in the event of the city being deprived
of the revenue arising from saloon IL
cense, levy of approximately So mills
would be required. Can the property
of that place stand such burden in ad.
dition to the regular state and county
tax?
1t may be argued that if the saloons

sues of local option. Business meg
and all others are invited to come
out to these meetings and learn all
about the financial phszes os this
important question. All advocates
of local option in Morrow county
are urged to advertise these meet
ings and see that monstrous crowds
are in attendance. Remember The

| understand why business men VINO
are not fanatics can favor licensed
saloons.
BUILDINGS ARE VACANT.
And the loss from increased tax
alton is not the only loss that the
business men of Sherman county
towns have sustained in the past
two years. In 1905 every business
house IN Grass Valley WAS occu-
pied and there was not dwelling
to rent. Today there are some
splendid business houses with signs
"for rent" in the windows, while
30 per cent of the dwellings are
vacant. In Moro are also many
desirable business houses unoccu.
pied, and not less than 10 per cent
of the dwellings are vacant.
1t is not the purpose of this ar
t!cle to say that the suppression of
the saloons in Sherman comfy is
responsible for this, but the
thoughtful business man can draw
his own conclusion. However,
something has caused this falling
off in the population of these two
previously thriving places, potwith-
standing that last year Sherman
county harvested a bumper crop
that was sold at top prices, which
under normal conditions should
have made general good times and
universal prosperity.
BUSINESS DRIVEN AWAY.
In conversation with Sherman
county business men it wac
stated that in the past two years
many of the farmers had gone
either to Portland or The Dalles
to do their trading; they had ceased
to come to their local towns for
some reason, presumably because
they could not find diversity there
but on the other hand had gone to
The Dalles or Portland, and while
there had bought the bulk of their
Another striking Incl
dent they mentioned was that the
laborers who work on the farms,
who in the past came to the local
towns when paid off, and there
bought their clothing, etc, whereas
now as soon as they are paid for
their labor they board the train for
outside places, never even giving
the local towns a pleasant look
Thus thousands of dollars are tax
en- out of the county each year,
never to return to the channels
from which it was drawn.
TOWNS LOSE REVENUE.

there were two saloons in Grass

Sheriff Shuts Friend Gates Shoots
Wide of the Mark.

In It's issue of April 30 the Times
published an article from the pen
of Hon. E. M. Shut, present sheriff
of Morrow county and candidate
for reelection, anent the liquor
traffic, in which Mr.. Shut gives in
full a letter from Mr.. l.. J. Gates,
representative of the Kent Mer-
camille Co., with Balfour, Guthrie
d. Co.," etc.
Mr.. Gates, representative of a
great mercantile establishment
in city of less than half q hun
dred inhabitants, located in the ex-
treme southern part OF Sherman
county, in his letter, undertakes to
give some "facts" about the cpndi-
tions that exist now in Sherman
and what existed in that county
prior to the election of two years
ago, when the liquor traffic was
voted out of the county, and in do
ing so he twists facts so unnerci-
fully that one cannot but wonder
what kind Of conscience the gen.
tleman possesses.
In order to ascertain whether the
statements made by Mr.. Gates were
true, the writer took occasion to
visit Sherman county recently,
search the records of the county
and of its three principal towns.
One of Mr.. Gates erroneous
statements is that "two years ago
they told us if we put the saloons
out of business, our taxes would be
something dreadful; we'll our taxes
have been lowered each year since
the saloons went out of commits
sion"
WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW.
The records in the court house
at Moro show Mr.. Gates to be wide
of the truth in this statement.
Hero is the record: County and
state tax Sherman county 1905
(the year before the saloons were
put out of commission'), s mills
on the dollar; 1906, 10 mills; 1907,
- mills. City tax 1905 (the year
before the saloons were put out of
commission), Moro, 10 mills; Grass
Valley, 8 mills; Wasco, nothing.
1906, Moro, 10 mills; Grass Valley,
12 mills; Wasco, Is mills 1907,
Moro, 10 mills; Grass Valley, 12I
mills; Wasco, Is mills. Thus it
will be seen that in two years with
out saloons the county taxes have
increased 4 mills; the city taxes of
Moro have remained the same, I
those of Grass Valley have in
creased from 8 mills to twelve and
those of Wasco from nothing to Is
mills. And still Mr.. Gates says
he cannot understand how it is
possible that any good, live, sensi-
BILE business man can for moment
stand for the saloon"
IT HITS HIS POCKET.
Perhaps If Mr.. Gates would
up his imagination little
he would be able to see when a
sensible business mans pocket is
hurt he inquiries the cause. When
a business man finds his taxes in
from nothing to 10 mills
on the dollar, as those of the town
of Wasco. or from three mills to
IL, as have those of Grass Valley
to say nothing of the A mills in
crease in county taxes, he could
