Emmett Sharp, of Cottage Grove, Announces
His Candidacy for County Commissioner
Cottage Orovo, Ore., March 10, 1920.
— H aving been approach«**! by mnny o f
my friend», vs ho have knowledge o f
my eigh t years o f experience in road
construction, m juosting me to become
a candidate fo r county commissioner
in the republican primaries, 1 have de
cided tu announce my candidacy and
in doing so desire to stnte some o f my
view s upon the present situation on
the road quotation as a ffected by the
o ffic e o f county commissioner.
F irst: I am not seekiug this o ffic e
to learn the road business, and I be
lie v e my road experience qualifies me
to spouk with a thorough knowledge
o f conditions in Luuo county at the
present time.
1 am a strong advocate fo r building
GOOD roads and K E E P IN G them
good, and I maintain that I can re
duce the coat o f road construction
and maintenance and save many dol
lars o f the taxpayers’ money now ex
pended
in
unnecessary
overhead
charges fo r sujiervision and other leaks
£rom^jJie^aimit^jninio^jliat^j»heaiM^be^
stopped at the commissioner's court
room.
For instance the o ffic e o f county
road superintendent nt a salary o f
#3000 per year and expenses.
The county rock crusher superinten
dent at a salary o f $2100 per year and
expenses.
The county bridge superintendent at
a salary o f $21t>0 per year and e x
penses, all together probably $10,000
per year.
W ith all due respect to the nbove
o fficers who nre personal friends o f
nunc, I maintain that such o ffic e *
are an unnecessary expense and that
the county commissioners court and
county engineer should do the super
vising, nnd a foreman under them who
could not build a road,* run a rock
crusher or build or repair a bridge
with them to advise hint, is not n
profitable employe fo r the county.
As it is at the present time we have
the commissioners with superintendents
under them, the su|>eri!itendenta have

K IM B A L L Y O U N G in “ E Y E S OF Y O U T H ,” a story that
deals with the problem of knowing the right thing to do—
whether to sacrifice one’s happiness for others or to choose
the career that means the soul’s higher development.

fury, an old delivery auto transformed into a caravan, driven
by pretty Miss Martin and containing also an old maid school
teacher, a eat, a dog, an old shotgun and other paraphernalia
— this is one of the incidents in “ You Never ¡Saw Such a
G irl.”.

T U E S D A Y , M A R C H 16— A N IT A K IN G in “ M IS T A K E N
ID E N T IT Y .” Patrons of the Arcade theater will have an un
usual treat when they see “ Mistaken Identity,” for one of
the characters is portrayed by the famous B A R N E Y O L D
F IE LD , known all over the world as a racing driver. The
Oldfield smile seems as much at home before the camera as
it does behind the steering wheel of Barney’s speed wagon.

troduction.” “ One of the mqst picturesque westerns ever
unrolled upon the screen, it is a vivid arid actionful picture.
The story is rich in human interest and engrossing ai^en-
ture. The great west has probably never been more impres
sively filmed.”

and cannot see, is the reason “ The Other H alf,” the less
fortunate of humankind, must toil ami sweat under unjust
conditions. What will you see in “ The Other H a lf” ! How
the upper crust lives and “ The Other H a lf” exists; how cap

truo situation.

Rice, author of “ Mrs. W iggs of the Cabbage Patch,” is one
of the best known novelists in the country. Lovey Mary is
a sort of tom-girl who is an inmate of the Brofield Orphanage.
This is one of the most fascinating plays on the screen today.

When furnishing a dining room use
a rug that is large enough to nearly
cover tho floor. Hrnall rugs nre never
good in a dining room. V ery dark cor-
pets and walls make the room gloomy
iimi that is one o f the things n dining
room should never tie. Plain paper o f
some soft shade fo r tho walls, with a
liorder o f some rich shade which w ill
either harmonize or contrast with the
color scheme o f the room is best to
use. Usually drapery o f some kind
should lie used at the windows but i f
they shut out the light use either a
thin white one or none at all. D on ’t
make the mistake o f putting too many
picture» in this room. Brown, deep red
or blue are all good colors fo r the din
ing room, and a b it o f bright yellow
«•an often be added with good effect.
The furniture should be plain and not
too much o f it. Use pieces o f furni
ture that nre easy to keep well dusted.

court.
I am in fnvor o f a patrol system
that patrols, but not the present sys
tem. I deotu it unnecessary to have
four or fiv e bosses over one man. At
present we have the county eommis
sinners, the county road auperinten-
dent, the general patrolman, the super
visor, and, lust but not least, the man
to do the work.
When a rend o f any typo is com
pleted, the effe c t o f the elements and
tho travel tend to destroy it, and those
operations required constantly to oppose
this deterioration o f the road enlisti
tutes ‘ ■general maintenance.’ ’ Without
this maintenance the road after a
time is partially destroyed and opera
l unis necessary to restore it constitute
“ repairs.” The term “ general main
tenanco ” means C O N T IN U E D mainte
nance, that is, keep the road up all
the time free from ruts and holes
which i f allowed cause heavy expense
for repairs. A road properly “ main
tain ed” may not need repairs for an
indefinite interval, but a road oven
properly repaired always needs ‘ inai.i
tenanco.”
The proper wny to handle this is to
g iv e n patrolman a certain mileage or
what he can maintain, and keep him
on the jo b fillin g ruts, clearing ditch
es, etc., and pay him from the amount
saved on supervision; the amount
saved on the three officers above
named would easily maintain L in e
cou n ty’s share o f the P a cific highway
from the north to the south line and
we would have ;i good road ul! the
time, instead o f just a few months cf-
ter the annual repair v ork, and the
saving from present patrol system
would properly patrol many o f our side
roads.
•
The patrolmen should he directly un
der the commissioners and held re
sponsible to them fo r efficien t work.
I f elected county commissioner I
would insist upon gettin g a d ollar’s
worth o f road fo r the dollar expended,
which I believe we arc not receiving
under the present system.
The above criticisms with their rem
edies are offered to the taxpayers for
their decision, ndtl with my assurance
to them that I w ill use my best on
deavors to put them into practice, as
well as many other economies too no
incrous to mention here, which could
bo put into practice without interfer
ing with e ffic ie n t service, and which
savings I believe should be put into
OOOl» roads and to K E E P them
