GANG BUSY AGAIN.

II the Malheur Enterprise, which
last week by the most disgusting
piece of sophistry and weasel words,
confounded the terms County Court
and County Judge In an apparent
scandal, is 40 solictous over the well
fare of the moneys Of the taxpayers
II will no doubt gladly explain a few
things.
For example. It will tell the peo.
pie why II Is that Il pads the financial
statements OF the County Treasurer
so that they occupy twice the space
that Is necessary for them to occupy.
BE II remembered that these notices
are paid for by the inch, measured
down the column of the paper. and
that thru the "slick" method used
by the Enterprise hundreds Of un.
earned dollars have gone into the En-
terprise office at the expense of the
taxpayers
IN this connection let II be stated
that Judge H. ". Test stopped this
little graft on the part Of the sanctl-
monious editor OF the Enterprise
and II II fOr that reason. or at least
that is one OF the reasons which
actuatcs the would-bo reformer IN
his scurillous attack on the County
Judge while hypocritically declaring,
this is an attack on no one"
The Argus will not mince words
This is an attack on the motives OF
the Enterprise and the gang whose
tool no is.
The Eenterprise. too. will do we'll
To toll its readers OF IT, attempt 10
hog all the printing OF the County
II viii do well TO toll what II has
charged for some OF ~ Job work.
for example, what II charged for the
printing OF 1000 bill heads recently
Let the Enterprise tell about some
of the bills that some OF the county
officials try to put over" on the
County Court. No doubt tho Court
may have erred IN its judgment on
some of those bills and they were
Legitimate bills and should have
boen paid.
hut II IL well known to many cltl-
zcns that there has been hard feeling
between the Court House crowd and
tho County Court because the Court
would not be worked and that the
Courts action has SAVED THOUS-
ANDs or DOLLARS FOR THE
TAXPAYERS.
Concerning the charge that Har-
yey Test collected delinquent per-
Honal property taxes for individual
property owners who gave him sign
ed contracts, the Argus makes no de-
fonse, but had this been done by any
one save the Judges son would the
throo-ply editor have had anything
TO sayY Could he have had any
thing TO say?
The District Attorney, and he Is
no friend OF Judge Test. declares
that here Is nothing Illegal. or Grim
inal In tho transaction. Admitting
that this II bad ethics, yet what does
the Enterprise have to say concern
ing the fact that under a prior
County Judge Il was necessary for
taxpayers 10 hire lawyers TO fight

cases to secure collections? Were
these lawyers grafters?
And while we are asking ques-
tions about delayed payments what
about the High School tuition fees
that n previous County Judge, Geo.
w. Mcknight, to be exact tried to
deny to the districts that had earned
them? To collect these fees 1t was
necessary for School District No. S.
the Ontario district, to sue the
County, and in that suit n victory
was won for the Nyssa district and
the Vale district as well.
But the dirtiest. and we use the
word advisedly, part of the Vale
gangs attack on the Judge was that
of innuendo, the reference being to
the handling Of probate matters Tn
less the Enterprise has specific
case which will sustain It's reference.
It is guilty Of libel and slander. It is
guilty, twice guilty in that Il istoo
cowardly to come out in the open
and make the statement manfully.
The Road Districts
Take the slimy statement concern
ing the Road districts. which the
slander sheet declares were consoli-
dated by stealth. Again let Us have
Information from this all-wise news

tion to the County Court? who was
1t that boosted such movement?
Who, tell the people OF Malheur
County, Mr.. Enterprise. and be hon.
est about II. for there are some hun.
drcd citizens who know tho facts.
and you'll have no chance to run for
cover?
But, so that the people may know.
we will tell you who did Il: THE

that helped to put that over. hut:

Come on, Mr.. slandor Mongcr. and
tell the truth In all your Highland.
holy fashion.
How About Vines aud Weaver?
Now the Enterprise has another
duty TO perform. what has II to say
about Messrs, Vines aud Weaver
We understand that Is the duty of
the County Court to pay back these
taxes. All right Who II the County
