No Compliment lo Wonder
Waitine for a car a fellow drop
ped into the Courier office Monday
. afternoon and asked what occasion
was being observed. We couldn't
think of anything out of the ordinary
and so advised him.
"Do you have this crowd on the
streets every day, he asked, ana
when informed he should wait until
after supper if he wanted to see a
bunch up, he remarked "This must
be some town.
This would have been some compli
ment to the city, if the gentleman
had only not spoiled it, but just as
the car pulled in he left his card on
the counter.
He was from Vancouver.

Editor Courior:
I was born and raised in Clacka

terest in things and people there and
in order to keep up with the times I
am a reader of the Courier. In
your last issue I saw the article "A
Tribute to Casto" written by one oi
his neighbors and I wish to second
same. Mr. Casto .".ltd I were boys to
irether, went to school together ana
graduated at the same college at the
same time also, We were employ

years, and I want to say that Mr.
Casto is an excellent man, modest
and quiet, conscientious, and while
not so rapid as some accountants, is
extremely accurate. He is indeed a
man with no bad habits, always at
his post of duty. Honest and effic
ient and fully cupable.
The people of Clckamas county
will matte no mistake by hiring Casto
for County Clerk.

OGLESBY'S PLAIN TALK
Gives Voters a Few Pointers to Re-
member at Primaries
Macksburcr. Anril 20. 1914
To the taxpayers of Clackamas Coun
ty:
In presenting to vou mv platform
i 8iaie now i wouia swna on tne tax
ation question; that I would not
stand for over a 16 mill levy for all
purposes. My opponents say that
they stand for low taxes, but they
want good roads but do not say how
they will get them. Now, taxpay
ers, can you expect good roads as
long as one-half of all the road dis
trict is takeh and put in a "jackpot
fund" as Mr. Hunt of Garfield calls
it.
What I shall demand and will see
that each road district gets is at
least 75 per cent of its road money,
so that the supervisor can have mon
ey enough to make good roads. Un
der the present system some districts
get money that you pay to build
roads that you never see or use. This
is all wrong.
Road district No. 23 should tret
over lour thousand dollars, and with
this amount the supervisor could
build Beven miles of srood gravel
roads, but with about $2,000 he can
not build but very little gravel road
as the roads of tne district must be
kept up in repair.
Now, taxpayers, the Pacific High
way people are about t hand you a
(rood-sized lemon.
Mr. Adam H. Knight, the present
postmaster or Canby is out for com
missioner and he says that he is op
posed to bonds.
If you will look at the petition
sent to the county court asking for
a bond issue you will find the name
of Adam Knight there.
Now, taxpayers of Clackamas Co.,
do you think a man would sign such
a petition if he was opposed to bond-
in-- 'I
One of tne Beatie and Blarr lieu
tenants circulated his petition and
it is stated that he made the state
men that they proposed to see that
every recall man that was out for of
fice would be dufated at the primar
ies. Personally I have high regard for
Mr. Knight, but the old gang seems
to have picked Mr. Knight to defeat
if possible any recall candidate.
I have outlined my position and
it is up to you to decide at the pri
maries. If you think that either one
of my opponents can do better for
you than I can, give them your sup
port and I shall be satisfied. I am
a plain farmer, a land owner and do
not belong to any booster club and
am not drawing a salary from the
government, but am at present the
road supervisor of road district No.
fi, and 1 am trying to do my duty
to get as much done on our roads as
1 have been supervisor several years
but not continuously. I was firsc
appointed by Judge White and Mr.
Lewellen, when the present court
house was being built.
I was born in Clackamas Countv
in the year 1856 and have helped to
grub out miles of roads that today
are good roads, and I want to say
that those office holders and boost
ers that I have done my share of
hard work. Ak Mr. John Lewellen,
G. B. Dimick, W. H. Mattoon, H. L.
Bents if I have not made good. In
them atter of road work I always
got a dollar's worth of road work
for every dollar I paid out.

CASTOS OPEN LETTER
Who he is, What he is, and What he
Advocates
To the Republican Voters of Clacka
mas County:
As all of you are aware. I am a
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for the office of County Clem
of this county and in connection witn
this fact I want to say a few words
regarding myself and the affairs or
said office.
I am desirous of becomine clerk of
this county because I am, and have
been, intensely interested for many
years, in the affairs of the county,
and I feel that with my education
al, clerical and business ability, that
1 can give the people of the county
an efficient, economical and a sound
business administration.
Clackamas county has beeji my
home almost continuously for tlib
past 38 years and I have never be
fore been a candidate for a public
onice.
I own a farm, and am, and have
been for the past 15 years, a tax
payer of said county.
I received my education in the
public schools of this county and the
graded and high school of Portland.
1 am a graduate of the Uregon Ag
ricultural College of Corvalhs, Ore
gon. I began clerical work in a
small way when 14 years of age ana
after finishing college employed for
many years in the various depart
ments of the Railroad Accounting
offices of Portland, at the same time
retaining my residence in this coun
ty. At the present time I am engaged
in farming on my farm which is lo
cated 8 miles southeast of Oregon
City.
There is one thing in connection
with the office of which I wish to
speak in detail and that is in the
matter of the equalization of asses
sments. By virtue of his position
the County Clerk is a member of th
County Board of Equalization ana i
honestly believe, and I find many
voters throughout the county , who
believe this board ought to be free
holders and taxpayers of the county.
There seems to be a general feel
ing, especially among the farmers
and small home owners that farm
lands and small homes are being- as
sessed far out of proportion to other
forms of taxable property. If nom
inated and elected I promise that I
will use every possible means within
my power to bring about a fair equal
ization assessment of all taxable
property.
1 will endeavor to conduct the bus
iness of the office in such a way that
I myself, and my clerical force will
render a dollar's worth of service
for every dollar received.
I will insist on kind and courteous,
but strictly business treatment of all
patrons of the county.
With these few statements I leav
it with you and if you feel that I am
capable and competent, which I sin
cerely hope you will, I will greatly
appreciate your support
S. L. Casto.

STATE EQUITY MEETING
(Continued from Page 1)
banking facilities, and in order to
equalize funds there should exist a
central bank in each state to serve
as a clearing house, which could sup
ply the deficit of one district from
the surplus of another. Such a
scheme would encourage local invest
ment, and put an end to the present
centializing tendencies of our mone
tary and credits ystems.
4. The imperative need of our
farmers, especially in the northwest,
is for mortgage credit ut reasonable
rates with the privilege of repay
ment on the amortization plan. Any
scheme to effect this must provide
authorative, safe and efficient ma
chinery for the floating1 of bonds on
farm mortgages. We believe that
the marketing of bonds:, especially
for the western states, would require
a federation of state institutions
with an Office in New York or Wash
ington. D. C.
5. The system for the provision
of long time loans should be control
led by the farmers themselves not
by those who have lived by farming
the farmer.
At the same time, every possible
safeguard must be provided to en
sure the stability of the rural credit
system. Foremost among these safe
guards must be placed the simplifi
cation of our land registry system
with state guarantee of land titles,
and expeditious, inexpensive foreclo
sure proceidings.
7. While we favor an autono
mous and self-supporting system for
the provision of both short time and
mortgage loans, we feel that such a
system will need some governmental
support in its initial stages and care
ful governmental supervision as a
guarantee of its safety. We would
suggest, therefore that if the postal
savings and other government de
posits do not provide enough capital
at the out set, that the bill provide
for the loan of sufficient funds from
the federal and state governments to
insure an efficient working system
from the start. That is, that the
federal government be instructed to
loan each of the central state rural
organizations such a sum of money
that, taken along with an equal sum
from the state government , would
insure a system which would take
care of the credit needs of farmers
from the start. Such state and fed
eral money would constitute a revolv
ing fund, and could be repair out of
a sinking fund set aside from the an
nual profits. If this repayment were
extended over a period of, say fifty
to one hundred years, it would im
pose no appreciable burden upon the
members. With the establishment
of co-operative systems in conform
ity with the suggestions herein con
tained, there would seem to be no
reason why loans on mortgage cred
it could not be obtained at rates of
four and one half per cent, while
shrt time loans need not exceed five
per cent per annum.
