WEIOHED AND WANTING.
'Weighrd and found wanting" i tbe
verdict tnat muit bo written agaiut
Judgo Dunn, after a trial by tue public
as an omeo bolder.
Judge Dun'u may have a liaruiiug
personality, but personality is not tbe
inue. The public are rnmrrncl only
with tbe public rw.rds of eWee holders
uow seeking re election.
Inefficiency and incompetency have
ruled his office. It is not because he
has not tried to do bit duty. Ho has
wade earnest, effort, but bus failed to
giasp the essentials. In other words, the
job wan too big for the man.
Narrow provincialism instead of broad
gauga policy, aecretiveness iusleud of
publicity, mulish obstinacy instead of a
willingness to listen and take advice,
diatoortesy instead of courtesy from
public servants to the public, have too
long ruled important ottieen in the court
bo'iise.
.Judge Duuu has shown himself to be
incmelfnt iu the administration of
county affairs by permitting county
otneera to conduct business affairs of the
county in a most unbusinesslike manner,
allowing irregularity, lainesa in details
and slipi-bod methods to prevail. He has
persistently ignored tbe drmund for
riperting the county records, thereby
leaving the inference that there is some
thing to conceal from the public eye, as
there was in the Daily ease.
Tba county court has shamefully neg
lected many of the highways, roada and
bridges, and eiposed the county to pos
aible damage suits by the dnngerous con
ilition of these bridges and roads, and
he has ignored protests and public do
mauds of citizens for needed repairs and
improvements.
' His methods of road building are un
scientific and provincial, and he has no
conception of modern highway construe
lion. His new roads are so narrow that
two teams cannot pass, and elevated
twice as biirh as necessary above the
surrounding county.
" KqiuilUation " as defined by law is
uot tbe process of raising assessed vat
uations 6t S-3 per cent, which is .ludgi
Dunn's conception of it. In a ptiblii
circular, be blames the asseesor for thi
valuations placed on property. He say.
"the county court has nothing to d
with the asarasinent." Yet he took an
oath "to faithfully and honestly rimn
ie, correct and equalise" all property
before sitting on the board of rualirn
lion, So he is directly responsible for
assessments.
AS TO SHERIFF JACKSON.
The Medford organ of the courthouse
ring says:
"What is Mberilf Jackson's great
suit that he baa called down upon
himself tbe wrath of The Tribune and
ire coterie of would-be dictntors of
political affairs in Jackson county
Himply this: In the discharge of hi
ollcisi duty ha closed up gambling in
the county snd in further pursuance of
his duty caused the arrest of the edi
tor of The Tribune. Neither acts scms
to us to be a very terrible one, and, in
deed, either one might even be consid
ered meritorious. 11
This is absurd. The editor of The
Tribune never gambled, never had un
interest in a gambling device, and gain
tiling was closed before he came ti
Medford. Unlike Mr. Hliton, the edi
tur has no slot nurhim record aud h:i
no unpaid debts on this a 'unt.
As regards the pulling of the
lit or
off a train at midnight while he
en route to Portland to spend the holi
days, throwing him in jail at Kosehorg
and denviuK him communication with
friends or even permitting him to kn
the charge on which be was arrest
criminal libel ou an indii-tment retitrne-1
h the grand jury, a petty offense with
enly .100 bail, it may b.ive been " mer
iterions," as Mr. Blitou ssvs. hut he is
the only editor in the slate thai wtil
say so. It was simply the gratil'u-Htion
of petty spite on the imrt of the sher
iff and a straw showing the smsll cat
iber of the man.
Mr. Jackson is not opposed by The
TribaDs for these ressons, hut becaus
of his record.of his Isek of business
methods In the conduct of his office
of his cruel treatment of prisoners,
his failure lo keep tai payments cor
recti)' and because be is unwilling t
have his books espertrd.
JUDOB DUNN'S REPLY.
County Judge 0. W. Dunn, betwi-eu
bis campaign of, suddeu friendliuess for
voters,-baa found time lo write an open
letter to tbe editor of The Tribune, in
which he denies all tbe charges made
ia the article published regarding the
Eagle Point to Browusboro and the re
fusal of tbe county court to pay for
the same.
The facta iu the ease seem to cou
trudict Judge Dunn. It is hardly prob
l able that Mr. Vestal would build a road
without proper iustruetious. He did
build it aud payment was refused. It
ia also a well known fact that Judge
Puiiu and Commissioner Patterson have
ulwavs acted together aud opposed
whatever Commissioner Brown advo
cated. The facts regurding the building of
the road, published in The Tribune,
were supplied by Commissioner Brown
aud other residents of that district, and
the Tribuue considers (ieorge Brown
as truthful and as honest, to say the
least, as Judge Dunn.
DOUBLE DEALING.
J. A. Buchanan, candidate for rep
resentative upon tbe republican ticket,
circulating among Jackson county
voters. ome no nus torn mm no is
strongly opposed to Statement .No. 1.
Others be has iuformed that he was
for Statement No. 1. Voters would be
glad to know just where he does stand
upon this important question. Tbey
on't waut duplieity in caudidates, but
nn opeu, IranK expression oi opinion.
Xo man, at this day, can carry water
upon both shoulders and the voters will
uot tolerate env double dealing. Let
Mr. Buchanan inform our people where
he stands upon Statement No. 1.
I'he Muil praises Judge Dunu 'a "con
duction of the county court." "Con
duction" is good and just fits.
