COUNTY WARRANTS
WILL NOT BE VALID

According to the opinion of
several of eur well known and
prominent attorneys of the state,
the so-called Statewide Tax
and Indebtedness Limitation
Amendment" passed by the vo-
ters at the last election provides:
THAT the prohibition against
the creation OF debts by counties
above referred to shall apply and
extend to debts hereafter crea-
ter in the performance of any
duties CT obligations imposed
upon counties by the Constitu-
tion or laws of the State, and
any Indebtedness created by any
County in violation Of such pro-
hibition and any warrants for,
or other evidence Of, any such
Indebtedness, and any part Of
any levy Of taxes shall be void"
This means that in a
county like Lincoln, where we
have an Indebtedness of $780,
600 to $4,000, that the Court
cannot issue any more warrants
until this debt is reduced to be-
low the $4,000 limit, and that
any time the county created a
debt in excess of $4,000, that the
warrants so issued would be
void.
This law certainly places
counties like ours in a hard po-
sition and until some means of
relief are offered it looks like
the county will be unable to pay
its officers or for labor and sup
plies needed. 1t certainly places
the County Court in a peculiar
end trying position.
The measure was Nos. 120 and
121 Oh the ballot and was as fol-
lows:
State Wide Tax and Indebted
ness Limitation Amendment
Purpose-Limiting tax levies of
State, County, Municipality or
other taxing power to not more
than the total amount levied the
last preceding year plus six per
centum thereof. except for pay
ing bonded Indebtedness and in
terest thereon, or by vote Of the
people, any increase so voted ex-
cluded in determining subse-
quent tax; limiting power OF
counties to incur indebtedness
to $4,000, either voluntarily or
when imposed by law, except to
suppress insurrection or repel
invasion, or not over two per
cent of assessed valuation for
permanent roads on vote of peo-
pie; and invalidating debts. paw
ments and taxes exceeding such
limitations.
County Clerk Howell has ask
ed Attorney General Brown for
an opinion on the matter, but
as yet has received no reply.

When the people of Toledo first
talked of forming a Port, for the
improving of Yaquina harbor,
Newport did her best to block
the project, even going so far
as to jump in and form the Port
OF Newport, thereby thinking
that they had us blocked, and
were much chagrined to fad
that they had failed. Now in the
matter of locating bridge
across the Yaquina they are
again trying to block the
scheme. The latest move is
their endeavor to have q road
built from Newport to Waldpert
along the top of the bluff, with a
free ferry at either end. This
is a good move and Toledo win
be with you, but we are not go
ing to allow this to stop the
building of the Yaquina bridge.

ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE

The ways are now being
creased for the launching of the
movement for the readiustment
OF postal rates in the next ses-
sion CT Congress. This prob
lem was to have been taken up
in the last session but had to be
deferred on account OF the con-
'sideration required by railway
mail pay. Since this has been
disposed Of the committees are
prepared to take up the matter
.ot placing the various postal
rates on a more equitable basis.
A zone system of rates for sec
.oLd class matter IS being pr M
mently urged to take the place
OF the present Hat tate which
was adopted nearly forty years
ago. The present rate has for
some time bees regarded as a
discrimination against the news
papers in lavcr OF the great ma
tional magazines. Like the par
eel post the proposed zone rates
would be based on the length of
tho haul.
The postal committees have
been besieged by petitions bear
ing millions of names and sever.

individuals urging q readiust-
ment Of postal rates with view
ol making a possible one cent

BROTHER WILLIAM
Is NOT SO SLOW

Our little pass at Brother VIII
liam o. tne News, last week. had
the desired effect and he comes
back with the most conflicting
mess OF congloncration, that
you ever read, and he almost
puts up an argument. In fact he
would have had he not drawn on
his imagination 50 strongly.
Bill has got it all doped out
that the Portland & West Coast
Railroad will deliver mail and
passengers at Newport in about
half the time that is required
for tre same transaction by the
S. P. Company. Then, in spite
of the foregoing vivid example,
OF his imaginative powers,
ne can't for the life of him see
how the people of Elk City are
going to be able to use a bridge
across the river at Toledo.
Again Bill says, (using several
large words which we havn't had
time to look up yeti, that we are
mistaken in orr idea that there
is an organized movement on
foot to block this bridge. Then
in the next breath he tells about
a committee being sent to Wald-
port and another committe be-
ing appointed to gather ,tatis-
tics relative to the need of this
bridge.
Now Mr. News, as you say, all
joking aside-because they all
undoubtedly realize that your ar
ticle was a joke-do you think
that the people of the Beaver
Creek country should be bottled
up forever, especially after they
have shown the right spirit, as
they have in their organization
OF a Good Roads Club" and
their donation of labor gratis,
for the past two years. All this
Just so they can get an outlet.
Then again the people of the
Drift Creek and also the Big Elk
country have been building
many miles of road just to corr
meet with this bridge. Do you
mean to say that these farmers.
who pay just as much taxes as
you, and in lots of instances
more, shall still remain bottled
up lust because a few at New
port don't want them to have
their bridge.
We realize that this fight is on
to finish and unless the boost
ers for the bridge turn out in
force when the matter comes up
next week. they are liable to new
er get the bridge.

Destructive Fire on Bull River

A fire which broke out early
last Friday morning destroyed a
valuable barn and all its contents
on the had of Bull River belong
ing to j. B. Ward. of that place.
Just how the fire originated is
net known While the hour at
which il started indicated strong
the work Of an incendiary, it is
not thought that Mr.. Ward had
an enemy who would perform
such a dastardly turn. and no
definite conclusion has been
reached as to now the fire COM
msnced.
A young horse, three head Of
cows, several bushels q corr
and wheat. set of corn burs and
nearly all of his farm machinery
were burned up. The loss is es-
timated at nearly $1,000. The
barn, burs and farming nipple
ments were practically new, or
in first class shar @, ard were of
good quality. Tne 1--we stock loss
is placed conservatively at 1915.
Mr.. Ward is one of the coun-
tvs most Industrious farmers.
He has large family Of small
children and has worked hard to
rear item right. The results OF
several years of his labor went
up in flames Friday morning, and
the loss is indeed an unfortunate
blow.
