Taft As Chief Justice
The ups and downs in the career of William H
Taft, who now realizes the ambition of his life in be
coming chief justice of the United States supreme court,
have been of a dramatic character. A man who was
beaten for the presidency so badly that he got the elec
toral vote of only two of the smallest states, might be
considered to be the head of the Down and Out club.
Yet, somehow he managed to win an office which
is as important as the presidency itself. And he got it
with very little opposition. The good nature with
which Mr. Taft took his smashing defeat was one ele
ment in his success. Many statesmen nurse their hurts
in public. When they get turned down they make
sulky and bitter comments, that indicate that in their
opinion the people who threw them out are fools.
The good natured way in which Mr. Taft took his
overturn shows that he respects the verdict of the people
and went far to conciliate many who opposed his re
election in 1 9 1 2.
Probably what has won more support for Mr. Taft
than anything else, has been the feeling that he is fair
m"inded. The people are sick of the bitterness of people
who take extreme views, and are strongly committed
to one side or another of economic quesffons. They
want a man of judicial temperment, who can look all
around existing controversies and see the merits of
each line of argument.
In the disputes between labor and capital, which are
the most difficult problem of our times, they want a man
who warmly sympathizes with the aspiations of labor,
and yet they want one who is sympathetic enough
with business so that he will not go off half-cocked in
favor of visionary ideas. Even the people who do not
agree with Mr. Taft politically, think that he has that
judicial attitude, and this feeling has smoothed his way
to the head of the high court.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGAN, Eu

About 50 Portland jobbers and man

commerce rooms to discuss- ways and
means of combating the ordinance,
and decided to lay the matter before
, Bupremo court The Uieeting wa3
presided over by J. W. Vogan of the
Vogan candy company.
A number of methods of retaliation
were proposed by those in attendance.
among them a proposal that the city
council be asked to pass an ordinance
putting a tax on Clackamas county
farmers who sell their produce to the
Portland markets. The suggestions
received will be held in abeyance and
for consideration until the supreme
court renders a decision on the Ore

Special Deputies to
Guard Chautauqua
In order to protect the Gladstone.
Chautauqua grounds against petty
theives and maurauders, two special
deputies have been appointed by
Sheriff Wilson.
Iate Tuesday night or early Wed
nesday morning, some of the tents.

Fire Destroys Barn;
Damage May Be $200
A barn back of the Anderson room
ing house on Main street between
Fourth and Fifth streets was prac
tically destfc-oyed: by fire a.t 10:10
o'clock Wednesday evening!
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
S. R .Smith, who has charge of the
rooming house. The damage will
probably amount to $200.
G. F. Anderson, the owner, was at
the Chautauqua at the time of the
blaze, and had taken his car, which
is usually stored in the barn.
The origin of the blaze is not known
but due to the ract that hobos have
been occasionally found in the barn,
it is believed that the fire was start
ed from a cigarette or match thrown
away before beinig- extinguished.
ADMINISTRATOR APPOINTED.
Harvey Gibson was yesterday ap
pointed by an order from the circuit

Traffic Officer
Status in Doubt
AUTHORITY AND
SEPARATED,
PAY
Naming of SherifPs Deputy
by Commissioners
Thot Illegal, t
Clackamas county is about in the
position of the man who was arrested.
A friend called on him, and after hear
ing his case, said, "Why, man, they
can't put you in jail."
"Well," replied the one behind the
bars, "here I am."
Clackamas county has a traffic of
ficer, and then again it hasn't. R. W.
Wagy was appointed by the county
court June SO, to take office July 1
at a salary of $1700 per year.
But the sheriff's office refused to
remove C. J. Long, the present in
cumbent and refused to appoint Wagy.
According to the law, under the pro
visions of section 3634 of the 1920
Oregon code, the appointment of dep
uties is in the hands of the chief of
ny office, the county court having
the authority to fix the salary and to
determine ' the number of deputies.
The county budget provides for a
fund for the payment of the traf
fic officer. Under the appointment
of the sheriff, Long' still holds the
position. The court order names Wagy
to receive the salary. This latter man,
however, is not. an' officer, due to the
fact that he has not been deputized
by the sheriff's office, and he has
therefore, no more power to make
arrests than an ordinary citizen. "
Whether the county intends to em
ploy two officers, will hinge upon
whether or not funds for their pay
ment are available, but according to
the budget, provision is made only
for the payment of one man.
Legal opinions have been given to
the effect that the appointment or
removal of a deputy is completely
in the. hands of the sheriff, to whom
the deputy is responsible Who will
get paid for the work of the position
will not be determined, under the
nresent status of affairs, until the
warrant for the monthly" pay of $166.fiG
s made out by the county clerk, either
under the specifications of the bud
get, a special court order, or a legal
opinion from the district attorney.
In the meantime the county has a
deputized traffic officer without any
salary; and a traffic officer under
salary who has n opower to make ar
rests. W. W. WOODBECK HIT
BY AUTO; NOT SERIOUS
W. W. Woodbeck, well known news
paper man, local representative of the
Portland Telegram, and whose homu
is at Jennings Lodge, was struck and
knocked down by a car driven by L.

E. I. Bulgin, an evangelist, who were

Board of Health. The county judga
says that his candidate is the incum
bent. The State Board of Health says
that the man who has held the office
is still retaining his position, and cites
the law on the case.
Meanwhile two doctors are proceed
ing to conduct the business of the
county health officer.
On June 21 the county court issued
au order appointing Dr W E. Hemp
stead to the position of county health
officer at a salary of $1050 a yeat.
Dr. O. A. Welch, who holds the office
at present, refused to turn over the
records of the position to Dr. Hemp
stead, saying that he had received
no notice of his dismissal. '
Tho commission of Dr. Hempstead,
according to Judge H. E .Cross, was
confirmed by the board. This how
ever, does not seem to be the case,
for in answer' to a query sent to Dr.
Frederick D. Strieker, secretary of
the State Board of Health at Portland,
the following answer was obtained:
Board Issues Statement.
Portland, Or , July 13.
State Board of Health has not com
missioned W. E. Hempstead as county .
health officer and cannot give their
approval until the legality of his
appointment has been decided upon.
Section '9, chapter 264, laws of 1913,
governs appointment and commission
of county health officers.
FREDERICK D. STRICKER.
This law provides that the appoint
ment and removal of such officer is
in the hands of the Stgte Board' of
Health. The law, where it relates to
this matter reads:
State Has Removal Power.
"....The county board of health
consisting of the county judge and
the county commissioners shall....
elect a secretary who shall be in
possession of a license issued to him
by the state board of medical examin
ers, who shall be the health officer of
the appointing board when sp'om
nisRioned by the State Beard of
Health, and he shall hold his office
so long as he shall faithfully perform
the duties thereof.
v "The compensation shall be pre
scribed by the board appointing him
or the board to which he belongs, and
the same, together with his necessary
expenses shall be paid, provided that
.... no coun(ty board shall pay its
secretary less than $25 per month.
"The State Board of Health shall
have power to remove at any time
any county or city or town health
officer for intemperance, failure to
collect vital statistics, make reports,
or answer letters of inquiry, or obey
orders of the state health officer con
cerning theiealth of the people. Such
removal, however, shall not be made
until five, days' notice of the charge
or charges against such health officer
shall have been mailed to him; pro
vided the time and place for hearing
such changes by 'the State Board of
Health shall be in the county seat
of the county or in the cify Or town
of which the. defendant is health of
ficer and shall take place not late"
than one week after the time of mail
ing notice to such health officer "
cross Is Larconic.
Judge H. E. Cross, when asked re
garding the matter, made the simple
statement that Hempstead held the
office, and referred his inquisitor to
the journal of the court proceedings,
which, under date of June 2J, 1;21,
contains the order oj tiie court ap
pointing Hempstead.
The judge formerly stated that the
appointment of Hempstead was made
as a matter of economy, to combine
the offices of county health officr and
county physician. This latter posi
tion was occupied by the late Dr. J.
W. Morris. Hempstead now holds this
position. He was appointed by the"
court at a combined salary of $1800
a year, the total amount of the two
salaries which are $750 for the county
physician and $1050 for the county
health officer.
Dr. Welsh states that he has re
ceived no notice of charges being filed
against him, and no mention in the
telegram from the secretary of the
State Board of Health is made of any
such charges being filed. Under the
provisonsi of the law he then still re
mains in office.
According to Dr. Hempstead, a let
ter was received from the State Board
of Health to the effect that his ap
pointment would- bet frefcognized as
soon as official information to the
effect ot his appointment was re
ceived from the county court. This
information was pent to the state
board immediately after Dr. Hemp
stead was to take office under the
order by the court. This letter is said
to be in the possession of Judge
Cross.
