Law of the Land Means Noth
ing to County Commission
ers in the Spending of
County Funds.
DISTRICTAnORNEYFLAYSTHEM
Sharp and Roney Set Aside Find
ings of Their Own Engineer
to Favor Contractors.
Charting that County Commission
ers Emmett Sharp and L. N. Roney
have juggled different funds in the
county budget, that they have let
road jobB in direct violation of the
provisions of the law, that road
contracts that have been let by
them have cost the taxpayers in
some cases more than twice the
amount agreed upon, that the cost of
road building on jobs undertaken by
the court’s own forces has been
thousands of dollars greater than it
was under the former court and that
certain firms and contractors seem
to be favored by the commissioners
in the purchase of supplies and in
the letting of contracts. District
Attorney Clyde N. Johnston in an
address at the armory in Eugene
Monday night told an audience of
more than 1000 persons from all
parts of the county why ho thought
the two commissioners should be re
called.
Funds Are Overdrawn.
He took up the matter of the
overdrafts in the several funds of
the budget. The public prosecutor
said tho records show that the two
commissioners go into one fund and
overdraw it and to cover up the
overdraft make transfers from an
other fund without returning it,
when the law provides that when in
an emergency the court is com
pelled to borrow from a fund the
amount must be returned. Ho stated
that last year the emergency fund
as fixed in the budget amounted to
$10,000 but thut the county court
had increased it to $44,000 by put
ting all miscellaneous receipts into
it, actually spending $34,000 more
than the taxpayers had authorized
them to pay. He said that this
method of juggling is in direct vio
lation of the law.
Tire Deal Explained.
Mr. Johnston touched upon al
leged discriminât (pn against local
dealers in the purchase of supplies
for county use. He stated that Gus
L. Neeley, a Eugene automobile tire
dealer, submitted to the commission
ers prices on certain makes of tires
which averaged 20 to 30 per cent
less than the same make of tires
that wore bought by the commis
sioners of the Cascade Sales com
pany in Portland. He further stated
that the Cascade Sales company and
the Warren Construction company,
the largest paving and road contrac
tors in the country, were headed by
the same officers. The district at
torney said that after the commis
sioners had bought their tires a rep
resentative of the Cascade company
came to Mr. Neeley and said: “You
can’t sell any tires to the county
court here. We have the business.
You keep your mouth shut and 1
will pay you your cut. ’ ’
Touching on the management of
the poor farm, the public prosecutor
charged that soon after Ben Russell
was let out as superintendent of the
farm, Commissioner Sharp sold four
or five registered Jersey cows on
the farm to a local meat firm for
$130 and bought from two farmers
of the county five grade cows at
$115 each, or a total of $575 for
cows to replace better ones sold for
a total of $130. And there was no
record of the transaction, he stated.
Another instance of trading where
there was no record kept, said the
district attorney, was when the com
missioners traded the county’s Aus
tin gas road roller to the Howard-
Cooper company for a Buffalo-Pitt
steam roller, being allowed $1100
for the gas roller. It was afterward
admitted by a member of this firm,
he said, that the Austin roller was
sold to another party for $2400, a
profit of over 100 per cent.
Road Figures Surprise.
Facts and figures that had been
given by Mr. Johnston were more
or less familiar to most of those in
the audience but when he came to
the matter of road contracts a few
things that had never before been
made public were sprung and from
that time on the speaker was given
the closest attention.
Quoting the law which provides
that all projects costing more than
$1500 must be built nnder contract
wherein there are competitive bids,
the district attorney told of a num
ber of instances where this provi
sion was violated, mentioning the
south Alder street road and the
Danebo road west of Eugene, where
J. R. McKy, former county road
master. was hired to build the ronds
without any apparent supervision.
He stated that the contract for
the building of 7% miles of the
Coburg north bond project road was
let to a contractor by the name of
Hansen for $2*1,438.75 but that up
to date the court has paid out $46,
OOP on this project. He said that
the co struct for furnishing and
spreading rock on 14 miles of the
Mohawk highway was let to the Igoe
COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY,
4
Cottage Grove has long been fa
mous for the longevity of its resi
dents. Eighty years is about the
same as adolescent youth elsewhere.
Here is the best one yet illustrating
that fact:
A worker in the ranks of prohi
bition visited the city a few days
ago to visit a citizen who has
reached his eighty-sixth year and is
said never to have touched a drop
of liquor. She called upon tho man
and the following conversation re
sulted:
“I understand that you are 86
years of age and that you have
never touched a drop of liquor.’’
‘ ‘ That is correct, madam. ’ ’
“I am writing a book in which
I wish to use you as an example of
the fact that abstinence from liquor
is conducive to longevity. Du you
believe that the fact that you have
abstained from liquor accounts for
the fact that you look so young at
your advanced age!’’
‘ ‘ Absolutely, madam. ’ ’
“And your advice to young men
is to leave liquor alone if they
would reach the years thnt you have
attained? ”
“Absolutely, madam.”
At this point there was a noise
in the kitchen that sounded like
furniture and dishes being thrown
around. Tho woman asked wor
riedly:
“My, what’s all that noise?”
“Don’t you worry, madam, you’re
perfectly safe. That’s only my
granddad. I’m afraid this moon
shine whisky is going to kill him.”
JAMES H. M’FARLAND, PIONEER
Of 1853JS DEAD
Had Seen Cottage Grove Develop
From Wilderness During 70
Years of Residence.
James Henderson McFarland, pio
neer of 1853, died here Thursday
morning following a stroke of par
alysis. Funeral services were held
Friday afternoon at tho pioneer
McFarland cemetery.
Mr. McFarland was born at
Booneville, Mo., July 4, 1845. He
crossed tho plains with his father,
J. W. McFarland, and at the time
of death was living upon a portion
of tho donation land claim taken up
by the elder McFarland, upon which
a large part of the city of Cottage
Grove is located. The train in which
they crossed the plains, made up of
the elder McFarland, a brother, two
other men and four children, was
one of the smallest trains that ever
made the long trek. Mr. McFarland
had lived here 70 years and had
seen Cottage Grove develop from a
wilderness.
In addition to being born on the
Fourth of July, Mr. McFarland was
married at the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month,
in the year 1865. That was the ex
act time of the year upon which the
armistice following tho recent world
war became effective. Mrs. McFar

NUMBER 27
OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1924
No Character Assassination
by The Sentinel.
So much has been said by
correspondents in one of the
Eugene papers as to the posi
tion of the eilitor of The Sen
tinel upon the recall, what has
been said having been repeated
at home as the position of The
Sentinel, that The Sentinel
wishes once and for all to make
its position clear.
Despite anything that may
have been said to the contrary,
neither The Sentinel nor its
editor has attempted to pro
mote the recall by attacking
the moral character of either
commissioner, nor will it at
any time during the campaign
make any such attack. What
little has been said upon the
moral question has been in re
ply to attacks upon its editor
by correspondents. Whatever
The Sentinel has said has been
directed at both commissioners
and applied equally to both.
Everything which it has to say
during the campaign will be of
the same nature.
The moral issue has not been
raised by The Sentinel, nor will
it be. The Sentinel believes
that it has shown that there
has been gross inefficiency and
extravagance, from the feeding
and clothing of bootlegger con
victs to tho letting of road con
tracts, upon which subjects it
expects to have considerable to
say during the recall campaign,
hut it will deal only with what
the results have been, not with
the moral derelictions, if any,
of the commissioners who are
the objects of the recall. The
editor of The Sentinel urged
Colonel Mercer not to raise the
moral issue which has caused
such a furore and pointed out
that the attack he proposed to
make should, at once result in
an effort to land him in jail.
For his own reasons he ig
nored the advice.
The Sentinel repeats that it
has made no charges against
the moral character of either
commissioner; that it has
singled neither commissioner
out for a personal attack; that
whatever it has said, or shall
say, will apply equally to both.
The inefficiency and extrava
gance shown by the records are
sufficient to arouse the voters
to the drastic action which is
asked of them.
VETS OF LANE COUNTY GET
HALF MILLION IN LOANS
Large Number of Homes Are Made
Possible With Aid of Money
Coining From State.
More than half a million dollars
in loans has been paid to 208 world
war veterans in Lane county by the
world war veterans state aid com
mission, according to Colonel Wil
liam A. Aird, special representative
of tho commission, who was in Lane
county during the past week. There
have been no foreclosures in Lane
county and very few delinquencies,
said the colonel, who declared it to
be an excellent record for the coun
ty and reflects credit not only on
the veterans but on the board of
appraisers made up of John Dillard
and John W. Hobbs, of Eugene,
and Claude Washburne, of Junction
City.
The exact amount received by the
veterans in this county on loans is
$502,2f»0, said Colonel Aird, and the
bulk of tho money has been loaned
on city property. Many new homes
were made possible by borrowing
from the state fund.
Colonel Aird announced that the
veterans who have made initial ap
plications for loans have until June
30, 1927, to make final application
for an additional loan.

W. L. WHEELER, Of PLEASANT
HILL, HEADS RECALL
Move to Be Put on Business Basis;
Inefficiency and Extravagance
to Be Charged.
The proposed recall is now well
under way with tho organization of
a county committee, which will put
the move on a business basis and
conduct it entirely upon the basis
of gross inefficiency and gross ex
travagance on the parts of Com
missioners Sharp and Ronoy. It is
thought thnt on this basis the recall
will progress much more rapidly
than it has been progressing.
W. L. Wheeler, of Pleasant Hill,
one of the most prominent farmers
of the county, is tho chairman and
the members of tho executive com
mittee are C. L. Teshner and Mrs.
R. M. Day, Eugene; Ira Baker,
Junction City; Mrs. C. E. Taylor,
Thurston; Mrs. Ruth Addison, Lo
rane.
The organization of tho county
committee followed an address made
by Colonel Mercer Thursday last
before the Eugene Ministerial asso
ciation.
E. V. Stivers, president of the
association, in his remarks introduc
ing Colonel Mercer, declared the
ministers and the churches which
they represent cannot enter into
politics and cannot back any recall
movement only to tho extont that
moral issues are involved. Tho min
isterial association took no part in
tho organization of the committee
to further tho recall, tho ministers’
meeting and that of tho citizens
interested in the recall being en
tirely separate.
