CZAR CALVIN
On June 6th all doctors and un
dertakers in Clackamas county were
supposed to turn in their formal re
ports of deaths, contagious cases, and
other matters to the county health
officer. And on June 5th all of the
physicians and undertakers in the
county except those in Oregon City
did so. The Oregon City gentlemen
apparently forgot that the county

Councilman Templeton started in
with a speech hot with "economy"
and the citizens are calling a mass
meeting to see if means cannot be
devised to stop the street commit

Oregon City pays out one dollar
in coin and gets back about forty
cents in service and then we put
on bonds to cover the shortage. How
long would a business concern stay
above water run in such a system?
Post, the cereal manufacturer,
who killed himself in Los Angeles,
left a fortune of $50,000,000. He
made it in less than 25 years. The
breakfast tables of the country con
tributed this great fortune in ex
cessive prices.
"Let big business alone," is the
cry of the interests. Such deals as
the New Haven plundering show it
is not safe to leave them alone. Big
business should have no more im
munity from crime punishment than
a petty larceny rascal.
As we understand the law, while
a governor may nppoint the state

and there the tower stands like the
monument of a rich man in a coun

and less account.
fhe whole deal has been a farce-
Seventh street property owners, it
is rumored, will shortly commence
legal proceedings to force Oregon
City to refund to them all assess
ments for the improvement of that
thoroughfare, with the exception of
a part of the new trunk sewer costs.
The action will be brought on the
ground that Fifth street has been
redressed and the expense thereof
charged to the general fund with
out any objection from the council or
other municipal officers. Bills cov
ering the Fifth street work having
been audited, allowed and passed, it
is held by Seventh street property
owners that it is unjust, illegal and
discriminatory to charge them for an
improvement of the same nature as
was given Fifth street property own
ers free of cost.
An ordinance was passed by the
city council in the latter part of
1912, declaring that after December,
31, 1912, no repair or resurfacing
work on Fifth, Seventh and Main
streets should be done save at the
expense of the owners of abutting
property. There was some doubt re
garding the existence of this ordin
ance, but Councilman Templeton
looked the matter up and reported to
the council that the ordinance really
existed. It was introduced by
Councilman Albright. '
Since the passage of this ordinance
resurfacing and improvement of
Seventh street has been ordered, the
contract let, and the work partly
completed. All costs for the work
have been assessed upon the holders
of abutting property, and the assess
ments have been so heavy as to bring
forth considerable protest from the
property owneis. These protests
were overruled by the council, and
the work ordered to proceed.
While the Seventh street work has

startling news does not even interest
us. Ihe reason is, we do not believe
it, they are only stage deaths.
"Is Doctor Withycombe a wet or
ary candidate for governor," is the
question that is being repeatedly
asked in western Oregon, and it Is
not being answered. And we under
stand the temperance people propose
to smoke him out. The doctor has
a reputation of dodging issues, and
the people recall that in 1900 that

work was done by the city, the ex

and no charge whatever accrued to

Bills for the work have been ordered

made.
;Such being the case, Seventh
street property owners feel that there
has been discrimination and injus

are taking will probably bring mat

Main street property owners are also
