A Statement to the Voters
I lie time oi year lor tin- election of County olticci* is approaching, aim my name
will again appear on llie ballot lor the office oi County Judge. it ha* been suggested
that I get out-aml viait the different parta oi toe county ami meet people aim talk mailers
•ivi i with them. I I iih I would be glim to do.
.Noliiing Mount give mu more pieusure
Ihaii to spend a week or ten days visiting date rent pails oi the county, but 1 do not led
lliai it would be right lor me to lock up my oilioe and neglect tm- business ot llie County
win n tin- taxpayers are paying me a salary to look alter llicir intcicsl», and l do not
l»c1 1 •• vc that they do expect tins ol me. I herdore, t take ibis method ot expressing my
gratitude tor past favors and for kind treatment during my terms ol ollicc.
.Six years ago, when the voters wrote my name on the primary ballot, 1 accepted
the Humiliation and promised the people of bane County, it elected, that 1 would devote
my time to the work ol the office, doing ull in my power to promote tlie tote-resta ol Lane
• minty and to see, a» lar as possible, tnat the tax money was spent to the best advantage
m order to do llie greatest amount ol good.
Inis 1 have tried to do, meeting every
iv-mi) as it came up, always taking u stand lor what 1 thought was right and just under
tin conditions as presented.
I he ollicc of County .Judge of Cune County is a very responsible position, as
I Ins is u large county.
the business ol too ollicc lias nearly doubled in tnu last six
years. .Many and diliicull are tlie problems that come bcloru the County .Judge lor set-
ilcmcnt.
1 lie County .Judge bus many dillerenl lines ol work to do. '1 ins ollicc hus the
loor, I'robate, .Juvenile, Insane, Widow* Pension, and last but not least, a share ot the
Koud and Itiulge problems oi llie county, and today this latter is one ol the most impor
tant questions mat comes before the people.
When 1 began looking alter the poor in Hilij. Lane County was appropriating
f l J.bdd.isi a year lor tlicir care. Last year, PJJ9, there waa appropriated $'J,uutj.uU For
l > 20 , due to advanced costs ol all commodities, this was increased to *10,0UU.UU. Thus
n Will be seen, that in spue oi tlie high cost ot living, a reduction ol lroin $4,0U0.UU to
■t-VssMJd per year has been mude in the cost ot earing lor the poor. During my term ol
cc, m veraJ aerea ol lead have been cleared at the Com Farm, and at the present time
tie lurm is all in cultivation except about three acres, which we hope to have cleared this
wi nt e r .
We have just installed a new heating plant, eh-ctric lights, electric motor for
pumping water, and built a new addition to me barn and u new silo; also, we have uu-
provi'd the herd ol cattle. All tins has ticen accomplished and the budget decreased lrom
■r!*,000.1X1 to ^UUU.UU. 1 also think, without doubt, that we have one oi the best equipped
larnis lor the ¿mor in the state.
Ijjp
Next, the .Juvenile work is last lieeoming a great work.
By hiring a Juvenile
OliiciT, a saving hus been made, and a great deal better service given. By the middle
01 the jreai i had apent only I3/8.UU out of the budget allowance ol $1,1(10.00, and aa
this is less than ball, 1 feel quite sure mat the employment of Colonel llarbaugh has not
only Is-en a great saving m money, but that we have, at this tune, one ot the best .Juve
n i l e organizations in tJie state.
1 wo Jiundrcd cases have been .handled tin., year, yet
only a very lew have I k - cii made public record.
Our object in the Juvenile Court is
to co-operate with the parents so that they may be able to control their children and
save them from Iming disgraced or having their names on the public record. 1 feel that
tins is one oí the greatest works in the County. The public does not realize the enor
mity or seriousness of it.
m
a
llie W idows’ 1‘elisions have been held to about the same amount, although the
numbers have increased. If 1 remember correctly, it cost about $9,000.00 last year. On
account oi the mcn-used prices ot ail articles, the Budget Committee appropriated $10,-
000.00 lor 1920, hud I tecl sure that we will be able to get through with that sum.
Last, but by no means least, is the Hoad question.
At the beginning of my term
oi ollicc the taxpayers, at the taxpayers' meeting, urged the County Court to adopt some
system ol road building, to buy some modern equipment for the construction of roads.
At lust the County Court hesitated about buying machinery, as they wanted to he sure
when they made tlie investment that it would be ol' some use. W e finally bought a Holt
Caterpillar Knginc, a Bussell Cruder ami a Scarifier. After the first year’s work, the
people were so well pleased that they went on record urging the County to buy more
equipment ami proceed with the load construction. We have tried very hard to carry
out the wishes ot the people, and 1 do not hesitate to say that Lane County today stands
at the head of the list for good roads, it has more miles of high type roads than any
county in the slate. It has the beat road-building equipment and has built good roads
cheaper than any other county.
In the first place, lalmr is scarce and wages are high, therefore the only economical
method is to use modern, up-to-date machinery. You might as well ask the farmer to
discard tlie tractor, truck ami automobile and go entirely back to using horses ami wag
ons us to ask the county to stop using modern machinery for their work. Counties that
cling to the old methods arc not getting the results that we get in Lane County ami
their taxes are just as high as ever.
Lane County is iu a sound financial condition.
It has some outstanding warrants,
but plenty of tax money on the rolls, if collected, to take care of all the expenses. More
over, we Hope this lull to be able to redeem nearly all the warrants.
In addition, the
county has about $2oo,UOU.UO iu load equipment which is all in first-class condition, ready
to operate whenever it is needed.
A division of the road question that has assumed a different character in the last
six years is the bridge problem. Prior to my term of office, the travel was largely by team
or light automobile. .Now heavy trucks travel nearly every road in the county and put
loads on our bridges that u lew years ago were unthought of. It "has been said that road
and bridge travel has increased a thousand percent during the last ten years.
All this
means that our roads and bridges must necessarily wear out much quicker than in former
years. Therefore, methods ol design and construction that seemed satisfactory a few
years ago will not do at all now. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and a
bridge must be safe for any lawful load that may pass over the road to it. I ’nder these
conditions the Court decided in 1917 to put a bridge engineer over the County bridge
work, and give him charge of design, construction ami repair.
The results have been
highly satisfactory. In spite of labor shortage, high wages, high priced lumber and other
materials, the total expenditure for bridges has been kept down to about the pre-war
level, and the bridge system in general improved. The average expenditure for bridges
for five years before 1917 was £15,582.45. Since the war began, the eost of all labor and
material has more than doubled. Therefore, an expenditure of approximately $71,00*1.00
might have been expected, but tin- Court has been able to keep the average to $39,780.31,
nu evident saving of many thousands of dollars ¡mr year due to efficient supervision.
In my opinion, lor counties of this size, it would be better to leave road and bridge
matters entirely to the Board of Commissioners ami let the County Judge take care of
the poor, probate, juvenile, insane and widows’ pensions.
Also, it might hi- better if
the County Judge were an attorney, us it sometimes seems something of a joke to have
a man who is not a lawyer sit upon the bench ami try cases. The probate matters of
the county an* very important. Titles to land, divisions of estates, etc., are all important
matters, and unless u man has had some experience or some knowledge of the law, he
will find himself lost as to the procedure.
Now that it is impossible for me to visit the different parts of the county ami meet
friends, 1 would be glad to have them call at my office ami talk matters over with me,
for, if I am correctly informed, some things are circulating that are not true. 1 do not
think it right that men should take political gossip ami peddle it without first finding out
that it is true. 1 grant that every man has » right to his own opinion of all public acts,
for tin- acts of every public official are public property. People hate a right to endorse
or condemn, hut no man has a light to toll a thing unless he knows it is true. Some
times candidates, in the hope of getting votes, are willing to make promises to do almost
anything. No man can promise anything more than his best judgment on each issue as
it comes before him, because circumstances change from time to time. 1 might promise
a thing today ami in six months from now it- would hi- impossible or foolish to do it. One
thing is sure, that if a man makes too many promises he is either ignorant of what he is
going to try to do, or unscrupulous, and does not expect to fulfill his promises.
With these few facts and words l will leave it to tho voters, and whatever their
decision is, I assure you I will he satisfied. If they see fit to support mo and re-elect me,
I will give them my best efforts, and anything my friends can do lor tne I will appreciate.
1 will say again, as I said before, that I will devote my time and do the best 1 can tor
the county’s interests, therefore, 1 have no apologies to offer or new promises to make.
1 am sorry that 1 cannot meet you all personally, hut 1 think 1 have explained the reasons
why, then-fore 1 will leave it with yon to decide.
.
Yours truly,
"
