OREGON GETS BIG
SUMS FOR RIVER
ftllfl HARBOR I
Farmers Aided Indirectly
By Government Advance
To Loan Centers
BENEFITS IRRIGATION
Provisions For Road Construction
Thru Federal Highway Laws
Greatly Inceased
The Sixty-seventh Congress has
treated Oregon munificently in appro
priations for rivers and harbors. In
fact, these appropriations, added to
others for highways and reclamation
projects, " make the amount received
for public improvements the greatest
ever received at any time from the
federal government. Nor is this good
fortune the only one to come to this
state. ' ! :
Banks And Farmers Aided
By reason of and for farmers and
for banks, which are financing agri
cultural interests, thru the revival of
the war finance corporation, the state
is benefited to an amount in excess
of $6,000,000. The effect of these loans
to the banks relieved them from finan
cial strain and made It possible for
them to carry over the accounts of
the farmers to the sale of their crops.
Livestock loan companies received $2,
738,539. Banks and kindred financial
institutions received an advance of $3,
324,000. River And Harbors Benefit
In the army appropriation bill are
allotted to Lower Willamette and
Columbia rivers, below -Vancouver,
$850,000; Willamette, above Portland
and Yamhill, $27,300; Coos Bay, $150,
000; Coos river, $30,000; Yaquina Bay
and harbor $300,000; Columbia, Celilo
falls to Snake river, $12,500; Snake
river, $10,000; Clatshanie river $6,200
a total of $1,359,000.
ff Highways Awarded Bi gSums
Highways of the state have been al
located, thru the general highway law,
$3,058,329. Of this amount forest
roads will require $1,250,443 in 1923.
In the general postoffice appropri
ations for good roads, Oregon's share
for 1923 is $788, 442.
. Irrigation Funds Increased
In, 1922, the amount available for
irrigation projects was $500,000. The
amount available for these projects for
1923 is three times as much &as for
this year, or $15,000,000.
RECORDS RIDICULE
RECALL ALLEGATION
Accusation Of Extravagance Is Propo
ganda Increase Of County Indebt
ness Accounted For.
The charge first emphasized in the
attempt to recall the county judge is:
"That the county's indebtedness dur
ing his incumbency has increased from
$359,836.62 on December 31, 1920, to
$426,197.72 on September 1, 1922, al
though his campaign was based on
economy." The Banner-Courier has
been unable, thru inquiry, to obtain a
copy of the petitions now in circula
tion, but reads in the recall organ that
this quotation is a part of said peti
tions. The attempt of the recall crowd
which holds its "OPEN" meetings in
CLANDESTINE places and at SUN
DRY times, of which the general pub
lic has no knowledge, is here to give
the impression that the Judge is and
has been careless, extravagant and un
businesslike in his official work. And
the purpose of this statement further
is to arouse antagonism of the taxpay
ers toward the Judge, by showing an
increase in taxes. And in this proced
ure they hope to increase the number
who will sign the recall petition.
The statement, taken alone and
this is the way it is intended is an
underhanded injustice.. It amounts to
a half-truth, and a half-truth used to
deceive is no better than a downright
falsehood.
The following records, on file at the
court house, and open to every citizen
of Clackamas county, show WHY the
warranted indebtedness of the county
has increased since the present Judge
took office. These figures, taken from
the official records, show facts which
every voter in Clackamas should con
sider before he signs his name to this
petition.
January 1, 1920, the warrant indebt-
ness of the county was $167,706.85
This was one year before Judge Cross
took office as judge. On January 1,
1921, the warrant indebtedness was
$325,236.72 Here then, was an in
crease of $157,529.87 in one year.
Judge Cross had nothing to do with
county affairs THEN. But two of the
tsame commissioners now in office
were in office then and there was no
recall. And the probability is that the
increase was justified. The present
recallers, by their silence regarding it,
MOVEMENT ON FOOT
FOR REPEAL ANIMAL
BOUNTY LAW
Mohair growers . of Oregon, accord
ing to R. G. Scott, secretary of their
state association, will urge the repeal
of the predatory animal bounty law
at the next session of the legislature.
They will base their efforts on a
better way to encourage the herdsmen
than by paying so large an amount for
the present method of destruction of
the animals which make havoc among
their young stock. Oregon now pays
out $118,000 yearly in this way.
It is proposed by the association,
according to Mr. Scott, to appropriate,
for the next two years, $75,000 for
professional hunters and trappers for
the various sections of the state, in
stead of giving to the United States
biological survey $15,000, as is now
done. Stockmen believe tat bhy this
method the state will soon be rid of its
predatory animals.
ALBRIGHT SPONSORS
FRANCHISE PETITION
John F. Albright is attempting to
secure a municipal bus franchise by
the submitting of an initiative ordin
ance to the people and a series of pe
titions for the accomplishment of this
purpose have been placed in circula
tion.
The projected ordinance provides
for the granting of a franchise to Al
bright for the operation of a bus-line
between Mt. Pleasant and Main street,
with a guaranteed schedule of twelve
busses every four, hours, for which
privilege Albright is to pay an annual
tax of $25 per bus.
Other terms of the proposed ordin
ance make it practically blanket in
its provisions and would give the hold
er of the franchise the right to run a
bus-line from Oregon City to Portland,
which concession would infringe upon
the present franchise agreement exist
ing between the city and the P. R. L.
& P. Co.
Due to lack of sufficient time the
measure cannot be placed upon the
November ballot, but if sufficient
names are secured, "can be put to a
vote at some subsequent election.
JUSTICE COURT'S AUTHOR
ITY TO BE TESTED
Mat Waldkirch has filed applica
tion for habeas corpus writ in order
to obtain release from the county jail.
In his application he sets forth that
he was convicted of a violation of the
prohibition laws and- sentenced to
serve 90 days in the county jail and
to pay a fine of $400. After a parole
he was re-arrested upon orders from
the justice's court that he be required
to serve the remainder of his time,
166 days, pending against the unpaid
portion of his fine.
Wajkirk seeks release on the ground
that the total jail term has expired
since he was first committed and also
that the justice has no power to re
voke paroles once granted. J. E.
Hedges is his attorney.
seem satisfied about THAT increase.
January 1, 1921, the warrant indebt
edness was $325,236.70. At this time
Judge Cross took office as one of three
comprising the county court. The in
debtedness September 1, 1922, or one
year and eight months later, was
$426,197.22, an increase in one and
two-thirds years of $100,960.50. Dur
ing the eight months from January 1,
1922, to September 1, 1922, the war
rant indebtedness has increased $20,
750.06. These are facts and ALL THREE
MEMBERS of the court, no doubt, in
curred this indebtedness only because
of the needs of 'Clackamas county de
manded it.
But the WHOLE truth of the matter
is THIS: This increase is due to the
unusually large costs connected with
the settlement that had to be made
with the State of Oregon on account of
the construction of the Pacific High
way and the Mount Hood Loop thru
this county. A large number of
bridges, too, including the one across
the Clackamas River, which alone cost
$50,000, had to be built during this
period of increased indebtedness and,
of course, added to the debt.
But to grant these causes for the
increase, which is only fair to the
court, is not complete justice to them,
nor does the increase stated show the
whole truth.
The fact is, that the second half of
the taxes levied for this year have not
been collected yet and that the road
construction costs for the summer
have been paid by warrants. This has
been necessary in order to finish work
undertaken before the rains of the fall
set in. -
The prospects are that when the sec
ond half of the taxes are paid in,
which will be done before next Janu
ary, there will be very, small, if any,
increase in the warrant indebtedness
of the county during this year.
Every voter who demands fair play
and whole facts, will resent this camo
flage claim that Judge Cross is either
careless, extravagant or even unbusi
nesslike in the county's affairs. The
Judge of the court is only ONE of
THREE. '
This WHOLE CHARGE FALLS
FLAT.
GREAT GATHERING
OF EPISCQPALANS
T
Church Laws Regarding Di
vorce Evils Made Even
More Severe
"OBEY" TO BE OMITTED
Meeting Leaves Fine Record Achieve
ments For Christian Social And'
Civic Work And Progress s
Characterized by genuine fervor and
devotion to efforts in behalf of Christ
ian development ,and progress, the
Episcopal convention, which has been
in session for the past fifteen days in
Portland, adjourned on Saturday last.
Its influence upon the membership and
laymen throughout the city of Port
land and the state itself has been in
spiring and beneficial.
Among its many accomplishments,
the convention adopted a canon
based on the concordat between its
own and the Congregational churches,
thus taking a long stride toward
church unity. Thus, the great pro
gram of church unity, upon which it
has been at work for the past decade,
is encouraged by initial results.
Divorce Hit "
Upon the evil of divorce, definite,
courageous and progressive action was
taken. Instead of relaxing its laws
against divorces, it made them more
exacting. In addition to forbidding its
ministers to marry divorced persons,
it now forbids even members of the
church from contracting marriage
with divorced persons.
Many Revisions Made
In the marriage ceremony, hence
forth, the word "obey" will not be
used and the groom's vow to endow
the bride with all his earthly goods
will be omitted. -
A prayer for the fruitfulness of mar
riage is incorporated. This is regard
ed as an expression of the attitude
of the church in opposition -to the
teachings of birth control.
The rule forbidding use of the
burial service over suicides was strick
en out, which indicates a changed at
titude -toward those unfortunate crea
tures. The resolution calling for unfer
mented grape juice for communion
service was laid upon the table; and in
its place the use of .both bread and
wine was adopted.
A new version of the Ten Command
ments, omitting some of the non-essential
clauses, was made optional in
use by the clergy.
Wider spheres for women in the
church were -discouraged generally.
A $21,000,000 budget for the work of
the church during the next three years
was adopted.
FARM BUREAU AWARDS
PRIZES TO BOYS
AND GIRLS
To encourage the younger element
on the farm bureau holds of Clacka
mas County, the bureau awarded spec
ial prizes at the county fair for ex
hibits &by the boys and girls whose
parents are paid-up members. The
prizes were contributed by Individual
memher of the bureau and were won
as follows:

was awarded the full-blooded Jersey
calf; Kenneth Baker of Oswego, the
Lincoln sheep; Ruth Kelland, Oregon
City, R. F. D. 1, the White Leghorn,

TAX REFORM PLANK
IN G.0.P PLATFORM
Keynote Of Convention Is Party Unity
Administration Pledged To
Rigid Economy.
The conference of Republican lead
ers, held in the Central Library hi
Portland yesterday, passed off with
out discord jof any kind. .
There were 135 members of the par
ty present, representing every section
of th state. It was the first statewide
gathering of the party representatives
ir twelve years.
Platform Is Purpose
The purpose of the conference was
to formulate and adopt a platform of
party principles for the guidance of
party representatives and to revh e
party spirit
As an outgrowth of meetings, held
at Pendleton and Eugene, a committee
of forty members, appointed by the
state chairman, W. L. Tooze, Jr., and
headed by Senator Bruce Dennis of
La Grande, had prepared a set of reso
lutions embodying the principles to be
the guide of the party and its leaders
in the present campaign. These reso
lutions, adopted without opposition,
are recognized as a party platform.
Appeals Made For Urity
Excellent addresses were delivered
on partisan spirit and necessity by
Senators B. L. Eddy of Roseburg and
Gus Moser of Portland. Senator Poin
dexter of Tacoma !aude:l the confer
ence and discussed the accomplish
ments of the party in a splendid
splendid speech. Others, including
the state chairman aroused f nhusi
asm by eloquent appeals for party
loyalty and cohesion.
There was entire absence of criti
cism of the Democratic party, altho
the shortcomings of its candidate for
governor were given some promin
ence. State Problems Considered
The resolutions deal with state pirob
lems and suggest what are deemed
constructive solutions for them. On
the measures to appear on the ballot
there was silence, the attitude being
that these problems are now passed on
direct to the people themselves. The
conference, however, pledged the Re
publican party representatives elect
ed to strict economy; to legislate to
bring under assessment real and per
sonal property nowescaping taxation;
and to decrease the burden of taxation
upon those now carrying it. Taxation
on water power was favored.
Exclusion of Orientals from land
ownership or control ; the early com
pletion of the Roosevelt highway and
aid for farmers and stockmen were
urged. Useless commissions were ta
booed and the budget system for coun
ties recommended.
That the conference will have a vital
.influence in stimulating partisan in
terest and cohesion in the present
campaign is certain.
Canby Residence Burned.
Friday night last fire completely
destroyed the house of J. M. Jones of
Canby. The family was away from
the house at the time of the misfor
tune. The building was owned by the
Lottie Samson estate. The loss is
estimated at about $800. .

comes home Monsignor Hillebrand,
their pastor, who has been in Europe
during the past six months. During
his absence, the Rev. Father Jonas
of Canby has had charge of the local

HALL QUITS RACE
AS INDEPENDENT
1ST OLCOTT
Clarifies The Situation With
Respect To Candidacies
Olcott And Pierce
STATEMENT ISSUED
Democratic Nominee's Endorsement of
Compulsory Education Bill Fea
tures Withdrawal
For several days rumors have been
afloat that Senator Hall, independent
candidate for gubernatorial honors,
would withdraw from the
larations from close friends of the
senator corroborated the reports. The
withdrawal is hailed with delight by
both the followers of Pierce and the
enemies of Olcott, for reasons entire
ly obvious. .
Situation Is .Clarified
This action on. the part of Mr. Hall
clarifies the political situation won
derfully. He having been nominated
by a gathering dominated bv Klan
leaders, while the Federated societies
were backing the Democratic nominee,
who recently came out with an en
dorsement of the compulsory educa
tion bill. With Hall in the race as
an independent and supported by the
Klan. the wise ones DroDhesied a snlit
in the vote that would go to Pierce
if Hall were out of the race, and that
this meant the election of Ben W. Ol
cott. So it is reported that Hall was
prevailed upon to lessen the Hon.
Ben's chances by stepping aside with
a police bow" to his loyal supporters
to follow the Democratic candidate.
Mr. Hall's attitude political Is set
forth in his letter of withdrawal:
"The duty of the hour for all
patriotic Americans is coruageous
adherence to fundamental Ameri
can ideals and principles. . It was
because of the apparent necessity
of presenting vital issues to the
people of the state of Oregon that
I 'became a candidate for governor
in the Republican primaries and
not because of my personal am
bition. My support in the pri
maries came from those who be-
lieve in the principles of the pro
posed compulsory scnooi Din ana
other measures affecting the pub
lic educational system and who
also approve my views on eco
nomic and administrative policies.
"The court contest made after
the primaries brought out distinct
ly, and were it not for the decision
of the courts that Democrats could
invade the "Republican primaries
on election day, solely upon relig
ious grounds, I would have receiv
ed the certificate of nomination as
the regular Republican candidate,
arid that I actually was nominated
by the Republican voters of the
state. "
"Until the past week there was
no candidate for governor, otlfer
than myself, who openly and bold
ly espoused the principles which
originally caused me to become a
candidate. However, during the
past week, public statements of
other candidates have been print
ed which will have the effect of
making those issues clear-cut be
fore the people of Oregon.
"For these reasons, and because
principle is above my personal am
bition, I shall take steps to.Jiave
my name withdrawn from the .
ballot.
."Upon all my friends, and es
pecially those who so splendidly
upheld our principles during the
. contests this year, I urge ener
getic, earnest support and advo
cacy of the compulsory school bill
this fall."
In order to withdraw legally from
the position as candidate Hall will be
required to file with the sceretary of
state a certificate stating reasons for
the act.
CITY SUED FOR FEES
RE CITY HALL PLANS
Suit was filed In the circuit court
this morning by Edmund Bergholz,
Portland architelt, against the city of
Oregon City, to enforce the payment
of 750, claimed as the balance due
for services in connection with the
proposed city hall, construction ,of
which was abandoned the past month.
Bergholz charges in his complaint,
that he was engaged under a contract
to draw the plans .and also to super
intend the construction of the build
ing. He Sets forth that one of the
provisions of the contract was that in
case work was abandoned before com
pletion, the architect was to be paid
three per cent of the estimated cost,
which was placed at $35,000. Under
this provision 'of the' contract suit for
$750 has been brought, a payment of
$300 having heen previously made.
The councif, at their last regular
meeting, received a communication
from Bergholz demanding payment,
and the question was referred to the
city attorney for an opinion touching
the validity of the claim. This report
will be forthcoming at the coming reg
ular meeting of the council to be held
Wednesday evening, October 4th.-
