Ji li il ILa
OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON:
Out of 3000 asked, 2600 voters of Clackamas County signed the recall petition
against Judge Cross, giving as their reasons for making said demand: -s
r "That the said Harvey E. Cross, in the conduct of his office as jd County
Judge, has been CARELESS, EXTRAVAGANT and UNBUSINESSLIKE in the
management of the county business, and in proof thereof we cite the following
facts: . '
' I . That the county warrant indebtedness during his incumbency has in
creased from $359,636.62 on December 31, 1920, to $426,197.72 on September 1,
1 922, although his campaign was based on economy."
The figures stand as solid as the rock of Gibralter and do not refer to bonded
indebtedness nor net indebtedness as twisted by friends of the Judge. The warrant
indebtedness on October, 1922 was increased to $457,1 26.99.
Mention might also have been made of the fact that $22,000.00 or more has
been spent by citizens of Clackamas County for temporary detour over Willam
ette River on account of new bridge because, according to Judge Cross own ad
mission, he failed to get in writing the verbal promise of Mr. Booth, Chairman State
Highway Commission, that the Statewould handle the detour across Willamette
River during the construction of the new bridge.
2. "That he is AUTOCRATIC, DISCOURTEOUS, OVERBEARING and
DISRESPECTFUL-to persons calling at his office on business."
An avalanche of proof to the above could be cited. Statements by the Judge
to taxpayers and county officers such as: "If you stay at home and run your farm
and I stay here and run this Court, we both will have plenty to do." "If you do
not get out of my way, I will make it as 'rough sledding as I possibly can for you.
"If there was another man in Clackamas County big enough to handle the affairs
of this county, as well as myself, I would resign." "Now you are such a Big man,
what would you do?" "Yes, it is my duty to order this election, but I will not do
so unless compelled by the Judge of the Circut Court at the end of mandamus suit."
etc., ad infinitum.
3. "That he has sentenced juveniles to the State Training School without a
fair and open hearing, and after refusing to admit their parents to the hearings."
The committee holds affidavits in support of the above accusations.
4. "That his chief source at a show of economy has been by reducing the
mothers pensions and refusing to assist paupers.
When asked to assist a county dependent in having an ulcerated tooth pulled,
he informed the dentist to tell the man to take a hammer and knock the tooth out.
When asked to pay rent for widow and four children (at that time receiving no
county aid) said: "If she can't pay her rent, put her out in the street."
5. "That he habitually promises to visit roads and to make road improve
ments but does not keep his promises."
Many instances can be cited of his unkept road promises.
- Voters, these are orily a few of themyriad of reasons why you should go to
the polls on November 7th, 1922 and vote:
Recall County
20 X Yes
Miss Nyquist gave a Halowe'en party
for the scholars Tuesday afternoon.
A pleasant time was spent playing
games and tricks after which a de
licious lunch was served consisting of
sandwiches, cake, apple salad and
cocoa. x
TO THE TAXPAYERS
It has been stated publicly that H.
W. Hagemann, candidate for County
Commissioner of Clackamas County,
was in the field to beat Judge Cross.
This is not so. The reason is we
need a just and equitable distribution
of the immense amount of money
available for road construction in
Clackamas County in the next four
years also to cut down taxation to a
point where it will not impair our
government.
In the last few. years taxs have
increased beyond reason and the end
is not yet if a halt is not called this
fall.
There have been authorized by the
people and are ready for issue $1,950.
000 in 5 per cent bonds, of this
amount approximately $300,000 have
been issued leaving a balance of $1.
650,000. Interest on the total will
amount to $97,500; add to this our
warrant indebtedness of approximate
ly $346,000 at 6 per cent brings the
yearly interest charge up to $118,
260 or $324.00 for each day in the
year.. Of this interest the farmer and
home owner will pay 82 per cent and
corporations and public utilities the
balance.
Under our present law 70 per cent
of the general road taxes are return
ed to the districts, cities and towns
from whence the money came and is
used to keep up existing roads and
especially by-roads. .
Our County Judge has stated that
he is going before the legislature next
January Session and have this law
changed so ALL the General Road
Taxes will be at the disposal of the
County Court and nothing returned
to the cities and districts.
Should the law be changed to this
effect, the taxpayers will have to
make special levies, in addition to the
regular tax. and where are we goin?
to land - .
The" Judge told the writer District
31 should levy a good special road
tax and "The Judge" would put the
same amount to U or even go a lit
tle better so they could start improv
ing. "
Great scheme, isn't it? First h
levies a 10 mill road tax and then
compels the people to levy a 10 mi'-l
special tax in order to get the Gen
eral Road tax back. Only 20 mill
levy. But . what about the Market
road and other funds where are they
to go? I'll leave this to the reader.
Why is it that Judge Harvey E.
Cross is doing everything he can to
elect C W. Kruse for commissioner.

To The People of Clackamas County:
As a recall candidate for County Judge, I wish to state that I have
paid taxes in this state for thirty-three years, thirteen of them in
Clackamas County. -
I have always favored good schools and good permanent roads.
I believe the county's business should be run on the same basis that a
good successful business man would run his own.
I do not believe in extravagance in either private or public affairs.
I am not an office seeker I think the office should seek the man
and the people should not be influenced by any candidate. I have no
political motive. If elected, I will devote my entire time for the good
of our county and when through serving the people I can return to my
business.
Thanking the people of Clackamas County for past favors, I am,
Respectfully yours,
