LAW Hello TO PR0vlU
MONEY FOR BUR1lg


Attorney General John Garland P0l~
lard yesterday decided that the law
creating the Bureau Of Markets.
within the Department of Agriculture.
called for a specific appropriation for
the maintenance Of the division. and
authorized State Auditor G. Lee Moore
to honor warrants for the annual ape
preparation amount of $4,000. Auli-
tor Moore Wednesday called the at
tention Of George w. Koiner. Cone
missioner of Agriculture. that he had
no money to the credit of the depart-
ment. and that neither the title OF the
bill creating the Bureau of Markets
nor the appropriation bill passed BY
the General Assembly provided for
the funds. The fact that 5000 is to
be set aside for the division is plainly
stated in the body of the bill.
In his opinion Mr.. Pollard stated
that in the bill II is perfectly clear
in that 1t specifically appropriates
$4,000 a year to carry out the provfs-
ions of the act" creating the Markets
Division. THE intention of the Leg
islature to make a specific approprt.
alton for the establishment Of DE-
vision Of Markets Is plain" Mr.. Pol
lard writes, land / cannot think IL
was intended to provide an appropri-
alton for this purpose only in. event
that there was collected and paid into
the treasury by the Commissioner OF
Agriculture sufficient surplus out OF
which the $4,000 was to be paid. Ger
tainly there Is nothing In the act to
justify such conclusion"
The opinion stated that while tina
title of the bill did not carry a men,
ton OF the appropriation, the Supreme
Court has decided that It is not neces-
sary III the money authorized in this
bill may be fairly regarded as in fur-
therance OF the object embraced In
the title"

lAFFERTY TO MAKE
PERSONAL CAMPAIGN

Lincoln County Leader:-Will
you please say to your patrons
for me that l do not expect to
have my law office open at To-
ledo until after the coming pri-
maries are over. When | finish
the work | am now doing in the
"12-4" cases intend to make a
personal campaign throughout
Lincoln county in the interest of
my candidacy for the prosecut-
ing attorneyship of said county.
! am going to try to meet every
voter in Lincoln county. BY
coming in personal contact and
talking with a candidate I think
a voter can better Judge the fit
ness of the candidate for any
particular Office than he or she
can by relying wholly upon
newspaper comment or neigh
borhood hearsay." Certainly
none of us are aversc to having
the newspapers say mice
things" about us, but / think a
voter should have the opportun-
ity of Judging first hand.

SAM IRWIN MAKES COMMENT

Editor LEADER was very
much pleased when / read the
heading OF your editorial Tide
land Owners Need Not Worry"
but after persuing the artis,e "
The finish it does not seem to
me to bear out that conclusion.
Unfortunately in this case the
assessment Of the land has but
little to do with the title. 1t
might be assessed to one person
and owned by another, as is Of
ten the case.
A more important question is,
what lands did the state grant
to the railroad company. The
railroad company has spent
large sums Of money in making
surveys and listing the lands
they claim, and in accordance
with law have given notice that
they claim them, and who has
a right to say who is the right
full owner, except the courts?
It does not make any differ
ence to the railroad company
who owned the lands before
they got it. The court says the
state had a right to grant the
ilands to the company, and now
they are surveying and claiming
all the lands of a certain classi-
fication regardless of whether It
Is within or without the mean
der line, and with perfect indif-
ference as to present or former
owners.
II one would ask Mr.. Heron,
Mr.. Fulton, Mr.. Fenton, Mr.. Col
wig or Mr.. Weatherford it is very
likely they would say that the
railroad company has a right in
what they claim. And there are
many people in Oregon who have
a high regard for their opinions
on such matters.
Mr.. Ball is a man of more than
lordinary ability and a good as
lsessor (they say he gives heeped
up measure in valuation) but his
opinion will not be taken as con-
clusion in a matter of such i'm
lportance to this county and to
lthe state.
thank you for your having
taken up the discussion of this
very important matter, and I he.
lieve now is the time to settle
lit, while interested parties arc
living who know about the con-
lditions of the grant.
If the railroad company is go
ing to own this country the
sooner we know it the better
but if they do not, the people
who do are doing to develop it
lin a manner that will give the
railroads something OF do, be-
sides carrying passengers to a
Summer resort.
There are great thing in store
for Lincoln county in the near
future.
Very truly,
S. G. Irwin.
