Official Paper for the Farmers
M. J BR.OWN,
Not a new candidate for governor
in two whole days.
There are seven reported sheriff
candidates in Oregon City, but only
one has "announced."
Mr. Gill, .is a candidate for govern
or, takes himself far more seriously
than the people do.
You can't vote in the Spring pri
maries unless you register. Better to
be early than to be sorry.
Ynu workers who want lower tax
ation in this county should get your
names on the $15UU tax exemption
petition.
Two candidates for governor are
out to abolish liquor in Oregon, and
the Prohis have not yet held their
convention.
If President Wilson weakens on
giving free tolls to American ships
through a canal built with American
pluck and money, he will have made
nis nrst oig misuine. vmuoo
is it, anyhow, and did we dig it for
this country or ureas orimain i
Over 20,000 voters have signed
cards that they will vote for prohib
ition in Oregon if a sufficient number
is signed to guarantee tne ary eiec-
tion. These signatures are running
ahead of the voters' registration.
Seems mighty funny there should
be such a scarcity of candidates for
Congress and such a surplus for gov
ernor. The pay is bigger ,the terri
tory to campaign smaller, and the
chances ten to one better. Does Haw
ley own this district?
Gus Scheubel points out another
of our legislature's lurid blunders in
a letter in this issue, which, according
to the auoted section, makes any
farmer a law breaker and liable to
punishment if ho comos to town with
a load that weighs LESS than 2500
pounds. That legislature evidently
believed in compelling trade.
They don't seem to be jumping on
to U'Ren quite so hard as usual.
There are candidates for governor
advocating his reforms; and the
Grange, union labor, Equity Society,
Farmer's Union and other organiza
tions are indorsing his taxation ex
emption amendment, abolition of the
senate and proportional representa
tion.
Some day the people of Oregon will
give him due credit for his hard work
for better government.
In 1912 the voters of Oregon gave
the railroad commission jurisdiction
over public service corporations, and
the bill expressly fixed a lower rate
for telephone rates than Oregon City
is and has ever paid. Dan Malarky
drew the bill, and the people passed
it. It has never amounted to anything
only to give the railroad commission
more power. We were played for a
string of suckers again. The railroad
commission is a joke and always hau
been. We should abolish it and let
the state oflicers attend to this busi
ness which is theirs to attend to.
Two initiative propositions that
will be made laws just about as fast
as the voters can make x marks are
the taxation exemption law and the
abolition of the senate.
It cost $100 a day to run the cir
cuit court in this city, and yet the
docket is full of putty cases that
should never come to trial, but which
month after month go the tedious and
expensive climb from the justice
court to the Salem supreme body.
Saturday last Judge Campbell decid
ed a case which took two days to try,
and it involved 1.37 acres of lund. It
was a neighbor scrap and the county
had to pay for it.
A single case will serve to show the
meritorious effect of exempting stock
and personal property in Canada. A
man owning 20,000 head of cattle in
Canada told a questioner thnt he
"would have been taxed one dollar a
head or $20,000 in an American state.
That a saving is effected to the con
sumer by untaxing business stock is
clear. The situation almost tempts
one to say that the beneficence of ex
emption of industry has been proved.
Perhaps its success may not be so
marked in older and more staid com
munities, but no one can any longer
afford to neglect a proposition that
has beyond all question "made good"
in the region where it has been tried.
No party and no body of men in Can
ada has agitated for a return to the
old system. John McRoy, in Harpers,
The Hand That Rules
The World!
Will you always be one of the world's great army
of employed, or will you be one of the commanders?
It is a question for you to decide. Without money
you are compelled to sell your time and effort to
others in order to earn a living, With a growing
bank account, you will soon be able to command
not only your own time, but that of others also.
Small savings, persistently deposited in bank, will
eventually raise you above the average, give you
a place of honor among your fellows, and enable
you to become one of the rulers. Start a bank ac
count with us now, add to it regularly and system
atically, and build to success. Yon can do it.

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
W. W. Myers stated in a Courier
letter some time ago that he would
never vote for another bond issue.
The pure water situation has com
up, an emergency that cannot wait
until the people can collect $300,000
in installments of taxes, and a nun
ber have been "putting Myers in a
hole" as they thought, by asking him
how an emergency water system,
costing big money could be built
within a year's time without float
ing a bond issue.
Mr. Myers told them it was the
simplest thing in the world, only re
quiring a little patriotism, a. little
self denial, and that if they would
read next week's Courier he would
outline the idea and see how many
public spirited, patriotic and unsel
fish men there were within the cor
poration limits of Oregon City.
Tuesday Mr. Myers came to the
Courier office and dictated this prop
osition.
And like George C. Brownell's
platform for governor, it may put
some of the fellows in a hole the
fellows who are loudest in yelling
about high prices of living, high rents
and interest:
"As I understand the water works
Dronosition it will cost $300,000 to
put in the necessary means to bring
the mountain water from the forest
reserve to this city.
"It is claimed that this pure water
system is absolutely necessary If
Oregon City is to srrow, and that it
is urgent that it be built as soon as
possible.
"It is proposed as I understand it,
to vote a bond issue lor W years.
"Now let us suppose that the in
terest on these bonds, or on this debt
is six per cent. At the maturity of
the bonds, in twenty years., we would
have paid in interest alone $360,000.
"Add this to the ' original cost
$300,000 and we will have paid over
$000,000, and our water system will
then be nearly worn out and in con
stant need of expensive repairs.
"We will have paid more than the
cost of the system in interest on the
borrowed money to build it.
"Now I would propose this easy
way to save the city $300,000 in in
terest and $300,000 in principal:
"Let every workman in Oregon
City donate one week's work to the
water works system.
"Let every business or profession
al man donate one week's work or
hire a man in his place at $2.50 a day.
"Let every business man or woman
in the city, every bank, store, office,
factory or any other business place
donate 20 per cent of the profits of
the business for one week.
"At the end of six months let this
be repeated and we won't need any
bond issue, any interest, any increase
in taxes or any increased water rates.
The city will own its plant, it will be
fully paid for, and the people will
very soon get back far more than the
expenditure of the work and profits
of the two weeks in very, low water
rents, for the consumers will have to
pay the bonds and interest, in high
er rents and other indirect ways." I
This idea is novel and well, WHY
wouldn't it work and work well?
Just figure a minute:
There are probably 3,000 men able
to do or pay for a week's labor on the
project, and at $2.50 per day in one
weeK they would have paid $75,000
on the project.
In six months another day's work
would have raised this to $150,000.
Of course they would not all work
in one week.
Add to this 20 per cent of the prof
its of the entire city for two weeks,
and of course it would have been
swelled to far more than the requir
ed amount, $300,000.
But what men can do and will do
are widoly apart propositions.
in tne early days, when men had
mn1A Hnva' nrnrlr than anvt-liinrv alaA
and when necessity demanded, men
iook noid or these propositions and
put them through. They were smaller
undertakings to be hum. but lust a
big in proportion to numbers, as the
uregon icy waterworks undertak
ing.
They HAD to do it in this Social
istic wav in tlinuo Hnvn fnr tVinr-o oi
no Wall street, and there were no
bond holders to loan them the money
to pay George to do the work.
But here's bettinir the volunteers
won't respond to Mr. Myer's call to
auty and patriotism.

We would rather pay tribute
monthly for 20 years than to pay one-
eitrhth of the tribute in two weeks
It looks good, Mr. Myers. We
can't argue against it, but we WON'T
simply won t accept it.
The Courier will be able to list all
the volunteers Mr. Myers will get in
one column of the paper and then
have a lot of room to fill out with
an article on "Why Living and Taxes
are High."
DEAD WRONG TACTICS
(Aurora Observer)
J. S. Yoder of Hubbard, In a let
ter to the Oregon City Courier takes
a fling at the town people in general,
and Grant B. Dimick in particular,
saying. "We read that the streets in
Jerusalem were kept clean Dy every
one sweenine before his own door-
steD. I would recommend such a plan
to the small towns of the valley that
are long on resolutions and short on
passable streets, ii some oi tneir
jawsmiths would put the above pre
cept into practice perhaps we far
mora wouldn't need to wear our rub
ber boots on trips to said towns in
order to navigate their so-called
streets. I hereby advice Oregon City's
Stock Farm Candidate for Governor
to quit trying to imitate the "Orator
of the Plate," and give us somehing
in a practical way of road work on
the highway leading past the afore
said farm, we can get along without
the wind, the work is what counts."
Such a spirit never cultivates the
entente cordiale that is desirable be
tween the people of the towns and the
people of the country. City and rural
communities are complements of each
other. Neither exists for the benefit
of the other alone, but for both. The
days of rural isolation are past. The
farmer is not sufficient unto himself.
Neither are the cities set apart from
the country in interest nor in sympa
thies. The communities are absolute
necessities to each other. Only by
co-oneration are the welfare and in
terest of each best served, and every
influence that tends to disturb their
co-operation is an injury to the people
of town and country alike.
Judjre Dimick is a born farmer. The
fact that he is a good lawyer does not
alter that fact. His sympathies and
his interests are with the farmer as
well as the city, and any amount of
cheap sarcasm will not effect his ef
forts to promote the interests of
both. No man in this valley is more
deeply interested in the welfare, pros
perity and success of the farmers than
Judge Dimick and few men are so
well qualified to render them efficient
service as the owner ot the Uimick
Stock Farm.
ROUGH ROADS AND MUD
FOR POLITICAL "HOPES"
Modern Commentaries on Embarass-
ing Problems Confronting
Candidates.
(By An Observer)
W .S. U'Ren so far seems to be the
only candidate for governor who has
dared to take the bull by the horns
and admit that Oregon highways are
not all that they should be and who
suggests a plan to remedy them and
at the same time to find work for the
unemployed. Mr. U'Ren would build
a system of radiating state highways
from a transverse hard-surface road
across the state, and would have le
gislation enacted to provide that men
employed upon this work must be res
idents of Uregon.
Other candidates sidestep the ques
tion with glittering generalities. They
"favor the extension of good roads so
that rural and urban communities may
be provided with a free means of in
terchange," and so on. But they
dodge saying anything definite. As
one of the Portland candidates for
the governorship put it the other day:
1 m not goin to say a thing about
good roads when I speak. I may cuss
the roads we have when I am out
campaigning, but I will only do that
in private. Why? Because, if I
deplore the roads we have, I'll get in
the bad graces of Multnomah County
voters. If I favor the various bond
issues proposed I'll get the enmity of
those who think the state ought to
build roads, and if I favor the con
struction of more roads, people will
say I am catering to the automobilists
and tourists. No sir, I'm not going
to say anything about roads at all."
Similar hesitation on the part of
gubernatorial candidates seems to be
noted in regard to the question of pro
hibition. Messrs, U'Ren and Brown
ell, it is true, have expressed them
selves as opposed to the liquor trade,
but all others have gracefully gone
around the question to their own
satisfaction at least by saying that
they would favor and insist upon "an
impartial enforcement of all the
laws." Many a "strategy board" has
stayed up nights trying to evolve
some satisfactory way of staying on
flio fitnmi in yairarA frt .lilif ti Im.4-
to date nobody has succeeded in doing
a really artistic piece of dodging.
One candidate, speaking expressly
for the private cars of his friends,
said he hoped that at legist one can
didate from each party would espouse
the cause of prohibition. "That will
split the dry vote," he said, "and
leave the rest of us to fight for vic
tory unembarassed."
That line of reasoning is good un
less there should be a great majority
rolled up in favor of prohibition. And
this contingency is not at all unlike
ly. Truly the path of the gubernator
ial candidate is rough and beset with
dangerous places.

However, the "governors" are not
the only aspirants who are having
trouble. Archie Leonard, one of the
candidates for sheriff in Multnomah
asked a friend the other day who was
running for sheriff in Clackamas
county.
"So far only Kohlcr, Striebig, Mac
Donald, Frost, Albright and Olds are
in the race," his friend replied.
"Huh,", said Archie, "why don't
Mass run again, and name all the
others as deputies?"
Perhaps such a move as this would
be the best way to settle the difficulty,
and leave everyone happy at the end.
WHERE'S THE DEMOCRAT?
While there appears to be little en
thusiasm expressed so far as to the
election of a Congressman from the
First district, there has never been
such an opportunity to elect a Demo
crat as at present, and it is a matter
of surprise that Democrats are show
ing so little interest. The people-of
Oregon, regardless of party, we be
lieve, desire their representatives in
Congress to work in thorough and
complete harmonv with the National
Administration, and it is well known
that the present Congressman has
little or no influence at Washington.
Indeed, his usefulness, if he ever had
any, ceased when Mr. Taft retired
from the Presidency. There is a fine
opportunity to elect a Democrat to the
office now occupied by W. C. Hawley.
Who will be the lucky man? Salem
Messenger.
Proportional representation is bob
bing up to a size that looks like busi
ness. J. here are behind it the Grange,
Farmer's Union, Farmers Society of
Equity, the American Federation of
Labor, the Oresron Civic League, and
the Women's Political Science League.
This reform is only justice, there la
no good argument against it, and if
given to the people it will no doubt
become a law.
TWO NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH IN CLACKAMAS
Men Struggle in Icy Water Two Hours
Before Assistance Arrives
Thrown from their boat into the
frigid water of the Clackamas river,
John and M. Heinrich, of Clackamas,
clung to a submerged rock in the
stream for two hours this week be
fore they were rescued by neighbors.
When brought to shore the men were
exhausted, and it was some time be
fore they recovered from the shock
of their experience.
The two were out fishing in the
river, which was swollen by the re
cent heavy rains. As their boat drift
ed down stream with the current it
struck a rock and overturned, throw
ing both occupants into the water.
Neither man could swim, but in their
efforts to keep from going under they
were fortunate enough to grasp hold
of a submerged rock that jutted to
within a few inches of the surface.
Clinging to this, the men shouted
lustily for help.
for two hours they cried for aid.
their voices growing weaker as the
chill spread over them. Finally their .
cries were heard by neighbors, and by
dint of considerable effort the two :
men were removed from their peri
lous position and taken to a nearby
nouse, where they were wrapped in
blankets and warmed before an open
fire. i

COUNTY COURT ORDERS
Should Set at Rest Various Mis
statements Regarding Road Work
Various published and reported
stories have had the county court for
and opposed to about every possmie
road's policy, from abolishing the su
pervisor system entirely to ignoring
the state law and adopting the opin
ion of a local attorney against the
opinion of the attorney general.
The following letter, sent by the
county court to the different super
visors in the county is probably a
little more definite as to the court's
policy than newspaper guesses or
hearsay reports. It is the general
policy of the county court as defined
to the supervisors, and should put an
end to the idle talk and newspaper
misstatements:
First. Do not begin work on any
particular piece of road construction
or repair which will in your judgment
cost one thousand dollars or more
without first notifying the court of
the intended improvement and obtain
ing estimates and specifications from
the county surveyor or road master.
Second. Do not begin the con
struction of any bridge or trestle that
may cost five hundred dollars or more
without orders.
Third. It is the policy of the court
to replace all wood culverts with con
crete or metal arches or pipes, where
repairs of this kind are necessary.
Due care being taken to place such
arches or culverts at proper grades
and to make them of sufficient size.
Fourth. In all road work keep in
mind the idea of permanent improve
ment or in . other words do not put
rock or other road material on hills
which should be graded down, or on
low ground which should be filled and
properly drained. When in doubt m
these matters consult with the Sur
veyor or road master.
Fifth. So far as possible use the
funds of your district where the mon
ey will do the greatest good to the
greatest number of people.
Sixth. Carafully inspect bridges
and keep decking in repair and rail
ing up.
Seventh. In case of any accident
on the public highway ascertain as
quickly as possible the cause; and
report the facts as you find them to
the District Attorney Gilbert Hedges,
together with the names of all wit
nesses present at the scenes of the ac
cident, and a short statement of what'
each witness saw.
Eighth. The amount given on the
enclosed slip is your share of the
County road levy. If you have a
special tax you should see that the
money is in the treasury before you
use it.

this purpose was purchased of the M.
G. Mack Company, of Portland, when
equally good material could have been
bought here. One local department
store has but recently stocked up with
$1,200 worth of fine curtain material,
and it is asserted that this firm could
have furnished the Commercial Club
with curtains at less price than was
paid in Portland. Leading local de
partment store managers say no ef
fort was made to ascertain whether
or not they had stock such as was de
sired by the Commercial club.
Sec. Latourette of the Commer
cial club, says that the effort is al
ways made by the organization to
patronize Oregon City stores when
ever possible. The new quarters oi
the club, Mr. Latourette says, were
furnished by a committee of the
Woman's club.
"This committee went to a local
furniture dealer in search of cur
tains," continued Mr. Latourette, "but
were unable to find the material they
required. The dealer sent them to a
Portland wholesale house, but they
could not get what they wanted there
So they went to Mack's. Other deal
ers got a share of the work in the
new club rooms, however. Hogg
Brothers, for instance, relaid the lin
oleum after moving it over from the
old club rooms, and did it on con
tract. We always try to give local
dealers the preference, but when we
cannot get what we want here, we
naturally go to .Portland.
A local merchant, told of this, said
that it was odd that the furnishing
committee should have gone to a fur
niture store to buy curtains when
such material was always carried in
a larger stock in dry-goods stores.
Mrs. Susan Secrest
Mrs. Susan A. Secrest, Wife of
George M. Secrest, a prominent resi

Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, after an
illness of several years.
Mrs. Secrest, whose maiden name
wa3 Susan Athea Keiper, was the
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.

Nashua, New Hampshire, April 30,
1851, and moved with her parents
several years after to the Middle
West, where they remained until mov
ing to Amity, Yamhill county, Ore
gon. At that place Susan Keyser be
came the wife of George C. Hall, who
died in 1889. His widow moved o
this city later, where she was married
to George M. Secrest, of this city, in
1899, and where she has since made
her home..
The deceased is survived by her
husband, George Secrest, of Oregon
City; one daughter, Mrs. E. L. John

The funeral services, which were
largely attended by the friends of the
deceased and family, were held at the
family home on Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, Rev. Lucas, of Portland,
officiating. The interment was in

Long Legal Fight Over Custody of
"Blackie" lies is Ended
"Blackie" lies, extradited from
Texas upon a charge of rioting in
connection with the strike of Home
Telephone company linemen at Oswe

gon City late Thursday evening, ac
cording to Sheriff E. T. Mass, who
Wednesday received word from San
Francisco that the prisoner and his
guards had passed through the Cali
fornia metropolis. lies is in custody
of two deputy sheriffs appointed for
this service by Mr. Mass when he was
in Texas last fall, seeking to get the
prisoner.
At that time lies appealed against
extradition upon technical grounds, it
being set forth that Sheriff Mass's
first name, according to the extra
dition papers, was "Earnest," where
as the sheriff spells his name' "Er

turning lies over to the Oregon of
ficials was carried into the criminal
court of appeals in Texas, and not
until last week was the case decided
in favor of Sheriff Mass. As soon as
