The Canby Independent thus com
ments on the back pay issue : The En
terprise attempts to make political cap
ital out of the fact that Assessor Stout
drew $540 back pay. One of the Issues
between Assessor Stout and his oppo
nent waa voluntary reduction of aalary,
Mr. Stout offered, if elected, to draw
only half of the regular aalary. The
majority proclaimtd in favor of im
bursement to the full amount allowed
by law. In drawing back salary which
he had failed to take, Assessor Stout
merely acted harmony with the senti
ments voted bv the republicans of this
county. We do not think County Clerk
Dixon and Sheriff Cooke would be cen
sured by any but the Enterprise if they
drew all they were entitled to, and they
are very foolish if they do not do bo.
