One phase of tho situation discussed
here tonight was the possibility that

yet do SO. In this event II was believ-
ed the Washington administration

In dfsmissing the idea Of participn-

WILL NOT SUPPORT G|LL|LAND

of a public nature where the public
funds were at stake receive my in
dorsement until carefully considered
after my election. At once 1 found
arrayed against me in the west end
OF the county one of the largest con-
tracing firms in this part of the
state, together with a very Industrious
real estate promoter who seemed very
anxious to have the county build
bridges and macadamized roads in
proximity to much of the lands in
which he had pecuniary or commits
sion interest.
From this gentleman 1 had a very
courteous invitation to take an auto
mobile drive with him over and about
these interests. Said invitation very
courteously refused to take and soon
1 found this gentleman, together
with the above mentioned contracting
firm. solidly lined up for Mr.. Gilliland.
While it has always been my in
clination to support for republican
candidates those who were consistent
and helpful to the party. l feel that
the conditions in the present cam
paign are much different from those
l have usually met with.
On the one hand We have Mr.. Belts.
man who honestly admits that he
was not from strict party sense
helpful to the republicans in the last
national campaign, but a man whose
honesty and integrity have never
been questioned so far as l know.
On the other hand we have Mr..
Gilliland whose present political al
ignments and past questioned public
record does not look very assuring to
the already much overburdened tax
payer.
In conclusion feel that II Mr..
Belts should be the republican candi-
date and Mr.. Marsh the democratic
candidate there would be no question
of our next county judge being en-
tirely above corruption. Viewing mat
ters in this light I feel It my duty to
vote for Mr.. Belts for county judge
at the coming primary.

COME BACK DATA
GIVEN BY MAL0NET
TO TAX CRITICISM

At the court house yesterday af-
ternoon decidedly interesting good
roads conference was held and a fea-
ture of the meeting was Judge Ma
loney's come back" when H j. Tay-
lor. prominent local farmer made a
speech in criticism Of high taxes
Il will show You why your taxes
are high" said Judge Maloney, and
he then proceeded to read figures rel
ative to the county's share of the state
tax during the last four years and the
county tax for the same period. The
figures on the state tax were: 1911.
ss4,3s5.s1: 1912. s137.9ss.75: 1918.
s4S 06s; 1914. $172,SS4.
Our share of the state tax for the
last four years has been 5000. 900
more than it was for the four wears
preceding the time this county court
went into office"
Judge Maloney then read data show
ing the county levy to be not greatly
different from what it has been in
the past. The county tax during the
last four years netted as follows: 1911
s5s.2o3; 1912. s55,s7s; 1919. ss4o7s.
1914. sS5,575.
AoSAok dlSO referred to the
cost OF the Wild Horse road and on
that subject Judge Maloney said;
The year the Wild Horse cut was
made We expended a total of ses.-
1855 on roads; during the last year
OF the former county administration
they expended a total Of se9 01s.72 on
roads. The Wild Horse cut cost ali
told less than $4,000 not $4,000 as
some people have been saying"
The conference yesterday was held
at the request of President Tallman
OF the Commercial club and a number
OF prominent farmers and business
men attended. The county court was
assured of support IL they would take
action to put a top dressing of som.
sort on the Wild Horse road. II IL
probable such action will be taken by
the court. The court also voted 10

rency law. This was the first decisive
step toward the establishment of the
new system.
The bank for the Pacific coast will
be at San Francisco and will serve
California, Washington. Oregon, Ida

A bank will be given the northwest
later.
The organization committee was not
authorized by law to provide for
branch banks of the federal reserve
banks, but the act states that such
banks shall be established. This task
will be left to the supervision of the
federal reserve board yet to be ap-
pointed by President Wilson.
The organization committee in It's
announcement called attention to the
fact that under the requirements OF
the act It could not find grounds for
the establishment of more than one
bank on the Pacific coast, but held
out the hope that in the near future
another bank would be authorized by
congress and located somewhere in
this great section.
