OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1914.
AGAINST THE BOND BILL
George Hicinbotham Advises All tax
payers to Vote it Down
Editor Courier:
Every voter in Clackamas county,
both women and men, and in city and
country, want to study this bonding
bill, for bonding the county for
$600,000 to build hard-surfaced roads
with, which will come up belore tne
people on the 15th of May, for their
approval or rejection. The interest
and sinking fund on these bonds will
have to be Paid every year by a spec
ial levy on all the property in the
county, both in the cities and coun
try alike, every dollar's worth of
property in the cities will have to
pay just the same as every dollar's
worth in the country, and about the
only ones in the cities that will ever
see them or ever use them, will be
just those who have autos, and they
are not what the farmers want at all.
A pood crushed rock road, nicely
dressed on top, and then attended to
and kept in repair, is five times mort,
desirable for the larmers tnan
sleek, hard-surfaced road, which
team can neither null a heavy load
on, nor hold it back, when the road is
wet or frosty. Beside that, the lirst
cost of building the hard-surfaced
roads will be about double what the
crushed rock road would cost, and
Keping tne crusnea root roaa in or.
der would not cost one-fourth as
much per mile 83 the interest on the
bonds would cost us per mile on the
hard-surfaced roads. The interest
on the bonds would cost us from $300
to $500 per annum for every mile of
. . ... i it i i. ...:i-t-
nara suriacea roaa tnai is uuuv wim
those bonds, to say nothing about the
up keep of that road.
Whenever we vote to bond the
county to build these roads, we, and
the county court are at the mercy of
the contractors. The worK nas to De
let to the lowest responsible bidder,
and the lowest bid may be $11,0000,
or $12,000, or even more per mile like
it cost Jackson county. Then what
can the court do?
It looks to me the way the law is,
that it will just have to take us med
icine and no taxpayers foot the bill.
The work has to be done by contract.
There is another feature of the
bonding business that is very dan
gerous. We have had no experience
with the kind of surfacing that they
will use, in this climate. Portland
intends experimenting on a small
scale with several different kinds ol
hard surfacing on a piece of their
road that has the heaviest traffic ov
it. That will give them the cost per
mile of each different kind of sur
facing and also its wearing quali
ties. That will be a practical illus
tration to the court, and also to the
taxpayers. I think this county
should do the same thing before it
hits us so heavy, just as an experi
ment. Turn out to the polls, every man
and woman, and kill the bond bill.
George Hicinbotham.
THOSE RESOLUTIONS
Stark Thinks Societies got in Wrong
on Rural Credits ' -
If a raw back-woods-man under
took to discuss the higher branches
of study with a man who had his
mind finished at a college, he would
no doubt make a circus of himself.
Likewise if a Rutabago Rube under
took to discuss political economy
with a statesman of the first water
he would find himself in a maze of
therios and a vividness of termin
ology so as to be utterly lost. So
the best thing for us' of the common
mold to do when those men whom
God in his infinite wisdom has or
dained as judges for our stumbling
feet when they hand us down some
thing, is to take it according to di
rections, smack our lips and not
make a wry face.
Under a Portland date line of April
5th, this year of grace I am informed
by the press that a joint committee
representing the State Grange, Far
mers' Society of Equity and State
Federation of Labor, had met and re
solved upon the popular question of
farm credits or perhaps more prop
perlv speaking, farm debts.
Those very gifted persons evi
dently foresaw the necessity "M
properly label their close association
with the grimy-handed sons of the
soil, otherwise we who live in the tall
uncut would pcrhnps, from reading
their resolutions, have thot them to
be the American Bankers' Associa
tion, the ancient order of Loan
Sharks, the Amalgamated order of
Usurers, and the original ordor of
Foreclosures.
It is hoped those precious eight
resolutions have been engraved upon
vellum-post and will be embalmed
later and sent to the Smithsonian In
stitute, where in tho course of time
they may be brought out to take the
place of the historic document which
" begins "When, in the course of hu
man events," etc. I would suggest
to this altrmian committee that they
preface their memorable declaration
with the words "When in the case of
dollars and cent.s" I.JN0 ennrge is
made for this suggestion. We be
lieve that the marketing of bonds,
especially for tho western states,
would require a federation of state
institutions, with an office in New
York. (Wall Street I suggest) or
Washington D. C." reads m part No,
4 of this precious octavo of resolu-
tw.na
1 hone vou have a copy of this
mnnov lender's nlatform as it is too
lone to crive in full here. Let us go
"If this rennymont were extend
ed over a period of, say 50 or 100
years it would impose no appreciable
burden upon members." By adding
thfi limn I have cone rninred and nun
gry in this land of glutted markets to
tho "say 50 or 100 years" I should
"say" not! Bv that time I expect
the blank head-board at the farther
end of the bone-yard will also have
minded with mv dust. You see
ihpso rlnssv committees are a far-
sighted lot! Tho last note in this
octave scale can see "no reason why
lnnnq nn mnrtrrnee credits (dents.')
could not be obtained at rates of
four to four and a hnlf per cent,
while short-time loans need not ex
ceed 5 nor cent per annum."
In myc hi'dhnotl I read where a
lawgiver provided for nil debts in the
nation to be cancelled at stated nor
iods. Of course hat was long
time a co, before people got so high
ly civilized as they are at present.
Besides, they were a lot of "ignorant
foreigners, who don't know nuthin
nohow."
Wbv should a condition of debt be
chronic among the mist useful mem
bers of Society? Those who pro
ducft the most essential things of life
would seem should by all manner of
logic be free from debt, vet we read
a statement made on the floor of

debt, debt-bearine- no interest is not

Just as soon as the producing mem
bers of society will comprehend the
situation, this republic will be solv
ed into an industrial form of gov.
ernment, to prevent which the ex
ploiting class are, by devious way,
securing the service of the heads of
organizations supposedly devoted to
the betterment of the economic con
dition of the producing class. We see
the effect among wage workers tn
nearly all industrial occupations a
well as the so-called 'middleclass"
farmer. At any time the exploiting
class fail to seduce the "labor lead
ers" they seek to destroy them as
was seen in the case of the officials
of the Western Federation of Min

their lives by process of law. Judg

It will no doubt be asked how

you understand how the banker got
such a safe, sure and cheap credit
system, simply by going to Congress
and getting what he wanted. Let
the farmer go and do likewise.

VOTERS WATCH OUT
The M. D's are Running for Office
Swat them at the Primaries
By Dr. W. A. Turner, Naturopath
The following patriotic, self-sacrificing
medical doctors have thus
far offered themselves as willing
lambs for -the slaughter awaiting
them:
For Governor Dr. James Withy
combe, Dr. Charles J. Smith; fnr
Congress Dr. Elef Berglund; for the
legislature Dr. Cora C. Talbott,
Dr. A. K. Higgs, Dr. A"ndrew M.
Smith.
Will these doctors kinrllv nfnr
the voters of Oregon who they rep
resent and what they represent and
why there should be such an epidem
ic of one class of doctors anyiniia tn
dabble in politics? Dr. Higgs has
frankly stated that he stands for the
making of "hygienic laws," 'which,
interpreted into plain, English means
that he stands for such drastic med
ical laws as may be put forth by the
medical trust. If these doctors ar
capable and competent to earn then
living at medical practice is it no
asking too much of them o sacrifice
their lucrative nractie.es in nrrler m
draw down 60 days' pay as a mere
legislator? This is indeed asking too
much of them and no self-respectinu
citizen has a right to ask or expect
this.
If they are nolitical incomnpront.s
and are not able to earn a living at
practice, are they competent and fit
to make laws for the neonle? Like
Hashimura Togo "I ask to know"
Mv friends and voters, these are
the facts: The American Medical
Association is planning a desperate
fight in every state legislature this
year, first to bind the shackles of
medical ignorance more tightly than
ever around the people in the shape
of drastic, illegal medical lawsto
make their methods of medical treat
ment compulsory if they can and ram
the same down your throat.
second, they are going to try if
p -Bsiuie. to maKe laws tnat will du?
every drugless doctor in the land out
of business, and thus monopolize the
ousiness or healing.
They tried it at Salem two years
igo, but owing to the watchfulness of
friends of medical freedom they fail
ed to do so. To do this they must
have tools' in every office from Gov
ernor down. Be on your guard as you
value your lives and see that your
candidate for the legislature stand
for medical freedom and vote against
wery "doctor" that runs for office.
They have no business in politics and
ya trying to get office only in obed
ience to the orders and propoganda
of the medical trust. Swat the doc
tors. Ever Changing Theories
Dr. John B. Murphy, High-priest
of the A. M. A. and recognized as
the chief carver in America, said at
the mooting of the A. M. A. at At
lantic City in June 7, 1912, eighteen
months ago: "at the present time
our knowledge of vaccines is EX
TREMELY LIMITED and they are
very dangerous and wicked weapons
to play with. A life could be snap
ped out in forty seconds by the im
proper use of vaccines (serums,)"
Vet in December, 1913, Dr. Murphy
stated in .the Milwaukie Journal:
"Our great effort is to find a means
of curing without resort to the gross
er and cruder methods of treatment
OF WHICH SURGERY is the acme.
Serum and antitoxins are going to
take tho place of the knife and the
saw and the research laboraory will
be the physical salvation of the
race."
This is a sawmple of the eternal
rotfeness of the medical profession.
Here is a man who is acknowledged
by tho faithful to be the leading M.
I), of America who warns people
against serums one day and in eigh
teen short months tells them that se
rums are their salvation. Cnn people
hnve confidence in such doctors who
change their theories with the
winds? Still, these very same doc
tors are making the last and most
desperate efforts of their lives to get
control of tho lives of all the people
and make serums a "preventive medi
cine" compulsory everywhere. How
do you like it?

Dr. Dremo, police physicia n of

poisons so ably advocated by the po
litical doctors, who have been run

Society in treatment for "blood di

killed and crippled tens of thousands
of men and women and the law con
tinues to allow them to do it.

you beat it? Do you believe now
what I have been telling you what
these men will do unless checked by
the people ?

medical practice start the good
work of barring it out in . Oregon
In Mason City, Iowa, a man was
sentenced by the District Court to
take a l'ormaldahyde bath, as order
ed by the "board of health." It would
be just as legal to order him to
paint his left heel green to carry
out an order of one class of doctors.
Verily this "free country" is fast
making anarchists out of good citi
zens.
A sporadic case of sma lnnx tn
Philadelphia caused Dr. A. A. Cair-
nes and 50 assistants to surround a
district bounded by 17th. 18th and
2300 people. More than 20,000 were
vaccinated during the scare. They
grabbed one colored woman who had
neon vaccinated the day before and
whose arm was bandaged and slap
ped on another vaccination because
she had no certificate. This, mv
irienos, nappened in a supposedly
"free country," and only shows to
what length the medical hounds will
go unless stopped. You had better

As the war department is haying ;
skirmishes with part of the Mexican
people I do not think it best for our
people to rush into war. Remember
the trouble is not over our country,
nor is it in our nation at all. lhe
war department is acting on the
principle of the police, and trying to
settle the trouble in Mexico so it
nuirht be better for our state to look
after its own affairs and not rush in
to some other country s troubles. I
do not think it best to give up our
duties for others unless it is really
necessary.
I am not running for office, in fact
I have no political ambition more
than simply to understand what kind
01 laws are best.
We don't want to be sold into
bondage to build roads- Why not
each county build its own roads and
the people vote their own tax. Then
let each man work on the road and
the state is able to help out each

GO SLOW ON BONDS
Robert Schuebcl Shows a Better Way
than Voting Bonds
Eldorado, Ore.
Editor Courier:
For some time I have been on the
fence about the bond issue for road
purposes, knowing that it is impos
sible to build roads without lots of
money to advantage. I felt like vot-
mp- for the bonds. S600.000 is noth
ing for this county as to a burden as
' one day's work would cover the ex-
pense for the average taxpayer, or
less at two dollars per day,
Good roads doctrine is in the air
and here to stay. There is no differ
ence of opinion as to that point. But
tne methods or raising the money and
spending same is still unsettled. We
are still in the pioneer stage, and It
is foolish to jump too fast at any old
thing that some men figure out on
paper. Remember the old saying
that figures don't lie, but you can lie
with figures.
The statement was made by t
prominent attorney at the road dus-
cussion last Tuesday night, that mac
adam roads cost one thousand dol
lars per mile for up-keep per year.
I asked him since then where he se
cured his information and he said
from the reports from Portland, and
Multnomah county. Now that is no
fair comparison, for in our case even
the main trunk roads in this county,
as the traffic over the Portland roads
is ten times as much or more, than
on any road in Clackamas county.
We have so far spent practical!-
nothing on our macadam roads for
repair and some have been built
about fifteen years and are in fair
shape yet. They are at least much
Detter tnan tne original mud.
Let us quit finding fault so much
with each other about what has been
done in the past and make a null to

raise the money, and in the best way
to spend it, and also the best road
we can afford to build. Let us get
busy. Test out the various ideas
that look good and go ahead, but go
slowly and surely, except when wo
are sure we are right, then push
hard.
I wish I could have had a few of
those fault-finders with me on Boos
ter day, April 25th. I think if they
would have changed their minds as
to the money being wasted.
r,
The people in the country deserve
prajSe for what they have done in.
stead of abuse. To illustrate this I
give you an example from my im
mediate neighborhood:
We graded about one-eighth of a
mile of road; hauled six thousand
feet of plank two miles; laid two
thirds of same, tore up and replaced
about ten rods corduroy. After grad
ing we blew out about 40 stumps.
All this was done on Road Booster
Day and cost the county the big sum
of nothing, except for the plank and
powder.
This is all permanent work. We
did not watch the clock very closely
and at least one man started at five
o'clock in the morning, worked 'till
six P. M. ,and went out after sup
per. Quite a number out in ten
hours. Now when we work like that
we have to be told that we are wast
ing the money, especially by men
who never do any useful work. Now
let us get together.
I here suggest the following me
thod of raising the money: Vote
for no man for Congress who will
not pledge himself to work and vote
for an amendment to the law so that
the county can have the same privi
leee the banker has today in the
emergency currency law, which pro
vides that the banker can deposit
county bonds and get money from
the government at two per cent in-
wS $
ml S Vj O " H
terest, or better still a law that the
government will issue legal tender
money sufficient to build good roads
and hire it into circulation by build
ing good roads. This would settle
the labor troubles as well as get good
roads and no one hurt except the
money loaner.
I would like very much to have
more money avaiable at once for the
roads, but I think I will have to vote
against the bonds as I do not like the
methods of raising the money. Let
me illustrate what it means and how
it might work:
The six hundred thousand bonds
will find their way to the banker; he
will deposit them with the govern
ment; get his money back at two per
cent; buy more bonds, deposit again
with the government; get his money
back again at two per cent, and so
on an endless chain. It all depends
how often the banker can repeat the
operation; what per cent he will
make and still have his money back.
In conclusion think of the follow
ing and figure on it:
Rags make paper; paper makes
money; money makes banks; banks
makes loans; loans make poverty;
Poverty makes rags.

WILLIAM GRISENTHWAITE
Platform and Declarations of Candi
date for Legislature
Rt. 3 Oregon City, Ore.
To the Voters of Clackamas County:
Having declared myself a candi
date for the nomination for repre
sentative for the 16th district (Clack
amas County) I wish to make the fol
lowing statement:
I have been a resident of Oregon
for 27 years, 20 of which I have re
sided at Beaver Creek on my farm. I
have always taken part in the poll
tics of the county, but this is the
first time that I have come before the
people for any office.
If nominated and elected I shall
endeavor to watch closely all legis
lation to the end that we shall have
less freak laws. In fact, I believe
the next session can be profitably
used to repeal a lot of useless laws,
and amending others. 1 am not in
favor of introducing a lot of new
bills. Only such as there is an ac
tual demand for from the people
should be considered.
I do, and always have, believed
that there are far too many boards
and commissions. 1 will, it elected,
doall in my power to have some of
them abolished and others combined,
so as to reduce the cost to the lowest
possible limit. Everyone agrees
that our state taxes are too high.
The abolishing of these useless com
missions will help.
I am in favor of changing the
present method of paying taxes. 1
will vote for semi-annual payments.
One-half payable April 1st. and the
other halt Uctober 1st without pen
alty. I have always supported Oregon
Progressive laws, the Initiative and
Referendum, Direct Primary law, etc,
and I shall endeavor to see that the
peoples' rights along this line is not
interfered with by any act of the
Legislature. Laws passed by the
people under the initiative should
only be repealed by the people.
I favor a permanent legislation
law, so that the unnecessary trouble
and expense or registering every 2
years can be avoided.
As a farmer and member' of far
mers' organizations, I am familiar
with legislation supported and de
manded by farmers and I shall al
ways be ready to support such meas
ures. I am in favor of good roads, but
I believe that our present road laws
need revising. Mostc areful consid
eration of road laws should be part
of the duty of the next session of the
legislature. I will support any sys
tem that will insure us permanent
roads from the jnarket centers to the
agricultural and producing districts,
wnn a aonar s vaiue ior every dol
lar expended.
If nominated and elected I will at
all times work for the reduction of
