ries were so large one would have

cents per quart for such fruit!
Oh, you New Yorkers!
While other cities are marking
time until the campaign shall be
ended, and business know where
; it is at again, yet Oregon City goes
ahead as if the people did not
know there was a national cam
paign on. This city is said to be
the best hard times city in Ore
gon, because it has a pay roll of
$10(1,000 and the mill wheels nev
er stop turning.
The Courier believes that it
would bo a good investment tor
the city if the regulation in re
gard to street fakirs was amended
and the license fee raised from
ten to twenty dollars. We believe
the merchant should be protected
ito this extent. When you want
I to raise some money for a public
purpose the street fakir doesn't
i go down in his pocket. He simply
sells a lot of fake stuff, in most
i 'cases, leaves a nasty litter on the
street, and the ten dollars the city
gets is really license to trim its
citizens. If the licenso price was
made almost prohibitive, in our
judgment the people would be
money ahead. We are speaking
of the CheapJohn fellow who ped
dles notions from the street cor
ner.

country.. He said in all England

could not understand why the cit

the scenic beauty and improve
ments that would bring thous
ands of tourists here.

CHIEF OF. POLICE
YET I QUESTION
JUDGE AIKEN DOES NOT DE
CI Dc THIS POINT.
ACTION BROUGHT FOR SALARY
Which Cannot be Paid Until Title
to Office is First Determined.
Wednesday of this week Judge
Aiken rendered his opinion in trie
Burns suit for salary for" one
month for chief of police, holding
that Mr. Burns was not entitled to
salarv as chief of police, but al
so holding that the title to the of
fice could not be determined in
the action, and that a man cannot
sue for salary until title to the of
fice has first been determined.
So, so far as sen...ig the case,
we are no nearer than before, and
no doubt with plenty of litigation
and expense before us.
Briefly Mr. Burns brought ac
tion for one month's salary to de
termine whether his appointment
as chief of police would or would
not stand. The defendants put in
a counter claim that for 53 mon
ths prior to January 1,1912, Mr.
Bur,ns had drawn $15 a month in
excess of his salary, and the
counter claim asked that he re
turn this sum paid him to the city.
Mayor Dimick removed Shaw
as chief of police by a written
communication to council, and
appointed Burns in his place.
The council refused to confirm
the appointment or pay the sal
ary, and Burns took oath of ollice
every five days thereafter. The
court finds that Mr. Burns did not
file his bond as required by the
charter.
In defense of the $15 a month
paid in excess of the salary of the
chief of police Mr. Burns said it
was paid for extra service in the
way of collecting licenses. The
court held -aat the action of the
council on this point was not
clear, but that if council paid this
extra compensation, and the act
was illegal, the city cannot, in the
judgment of the court, recover.
The opinion as rendered states
title to oflice cannot be deter
mined in this action, and one can
not sue for salary until title has
first been determined and
Ordered that both the com
plaint and counter claim be dis
missed with costs to the defend
ant."
Judge Aiken stated that the
action was for salary of chief of
police; but the matter of who was
Ihe qualified chief of police could
not be determined in this action.
for to do so would adjudicate
the right of E. L. ...aw, and the
city is not authorized to appear
for him any more than it is u-
thorized to appear for plaintiff."
What the next move in the mat
ter will be cannot be definitely
determined, but no doubt it will be
to determine who is who.

"Me and My Tape Worm."
Somebody over in Oregon City
has taken a fearful smash al the
editor of the Courier because he
doesn't use the editorial "we."
The Courier man uses the "1" in
giving his ideas. Well, maybe the
"I" is objectionable, but the "we"
is no loss so. It's not used by
up to date newspaper men. Mark
Twain hit it off correctly .when lie
said the editorial "wo" must re
fer to "me and my tape worm.
As for "we" it should bo relegated
to the scrap heap with the Wash
ington Hand Press Eslacada
Progress.

Ley Tax to Pay Slander Expenses.
It is often said you can never
tell what llie people will do in ()r
gon, and that school scrap at Vi
ola is pretty good nroof.Al a rec
ent school election the director
and clerk, who had trouble with
the teacher were re-elected and
the voters voted for a six mill tax
to pay the costs of a slander suit
which will be brought against the
teacher, Thomas B. Lovelace.
'This is the matter over which
one of the directors and the
teacher had a personal encoun
ter some weeks ago, the matter
was taken up with Superintendent
Gary, asking that the teacher be
emoved, but Mr. Clary held that
the evidence was not suflicient for
his removal. Further efforts to
have, the teacher removed will be
made.
