SAVING ON ROADS
PROGRAM IS CITED
BY JUDGE CROSS
County Official in Speach at
ML Pleasant Ssiys Economy
In Highway Work has Been
Affected in Administration.
DEFENSE IS OUTLINED
IN RECALL CAMPAIGN
Deal on Temporary Bridge As
Emergency Flan is Declared
O. K.; Records Are Open.
The Waluga Civc club, represent
ing the districts of Goodin, Lake
Grove, Waluga, Bryant and Cook at
their, regular meeting, went on record
as opposed to the recall of County
Judge Harvey E. Cross.
Branding the recall as a "personal
affair brought against him by those
who had individual grievance against
his administraton, Harvey E. Cross in
an address at Mt. Pleasant last even
ing actively took up the campaign to
retain the office of county judge at
the November election.
Judge Cross in characterizing as
efficient the administration which he
heads, pointing to a savng of 'thou
sands of dollars" due to the holding
up of the road program during the
period of peak prices.
Covering the contentions of the
judge, and answering the charge
brought against him in connection
with the construction of the rtempqfr
ary bridge across the Willamette riv
er, a statement was issued from his
headquarters yesterday.
'More than two months ago," says
the staement, 'the promoters of the
recall launched against the judge,
commenced the work of securing sig
natures to a petition for his recall. In
their work they were aided by Com
missioner W. F. Harris .member . of
the county court who fdiled to re
ceive a single renomination. Joining
in the chorus of the recall song by
Commissioner Harris was a contin
gent of aspirants to' the office of
roadmasters. Other members of the
recall troupe were Mr. Gibson, of Bar
ton and S. J. Edmiston of the Wilson
ville country. Gibson's chief griev
ance lay in the fact that he failed to
secure from the county court $1500
claimed as damages for a road sur
veved through his property but in
stead was awarded $300. Edmiston
feels that he has a grievance, being
a disappointed aspirant for damages
to the amount of $3200 to owners of
property by reason of a road in which
he was interested. The county court
declined in this case to award any
damages.
"he method of handling road funds
up to the time Judge Cross entered up
on h!s oficial duties was to allow over
drafts in the funds of the various
road districts. Commissioner Harris-'
istrict, known as No. 34, being one
that was habitually overdrawn. In
1920, this district was overdrawn $2,
4S1.96. In 1921 this same district was
overurawn i.-iao.xo. juu&c ico
sisted that the custom of overdrafts ,
he abolished, and insisted mat an
overdrafts incurred in 1921 be charg
ed to the 1922 accounts.
"The matter of the construction or
"The matter of the construction of 1
the Wilamette foot bridge is an open (
-one. The bridge. was made impera-1
the roads favored, and yet the roads
leading to the thickly populated ter-j
ritoi y, known as Elliott Prairie, who i
are the real tax contributors, were rot;
allowed a load of gravel from the rook
crusher.
UiUU I . I , i - . " 11 "X ' ' i
declare that you was in favor of tak-1
ing the 10 per cent oi the roaa iunu,
which is distributed in each and every
road district, and p'.ace the same up
on the trunk lines or market roads?
If you were honest in your inten-j
tions, it would be a gross infringe
ment upon the respective rural dis-j
tricts. It would compel them to vote
special levies to build and maintain
the laterals. In other words, the far-,
wer would contribute, as he does in.
taxes to the trunk lines, and wouia
place a burden upon themrelves to
build and maintain thirty miles of
rural road to ever ten miles of trunk
line. So Mr. Voter, take warning, he
is attempting to play the game with
the promoters of the bonded road
theory.
"Now to the 'Live Wires': The big
ger majority of the 'Live Wires' were
interviewed by myself in person and
they informed me that they were
overly anxious for someone to start
the recall, as they were 'after Judge
Cross's goat.' he language which they
used was most shocking, caling the
judge most everything, but a gentle
man, offering to assist in the financial
part of the campaign. Now, bear in
mind, that some of those whom I re
fer to have their names upon the
business men's position, endorsing H.
E. Cross. Now, how does he happen
to change from a 'demon' to an 'an
gle within a few days? If the 'Live
wiwa- an desire. I will divulge more
facts to the laboring classes who pay
high taxes upon their little homes and
toil from daylight until dark they
are given no consideration by Judge
Cross or his promoters, who have
gone on record in favor of two dollars
per day, being sufficient for the la
boring classes.
"The judge was a representative of
Clackamas county, and while serving
the people, raised the salary of the
county judge, then placed himself in
the position for the office.
"Judge Cross, do you deny the
charge of being impolite? I can cite
the taxpayers to dozens of cases. One
in particular that aroused the recall
spirit, when you openly, in a gruff
and boisterous manner, insulted Paul
Paroson, deceased. There was a dele-
gation before your court. Paul Sam
son, a member, in a very gentlemanly
way, asked you a civil question per
taining to road matters. You very dis
courteously informed him with - a
frown, that it was "none of his busi
ness.' "Now, as to H. E. Cross's ability in
handling the taxpayers' money and
other matters that have to come up in
connection with the position he now
occupies, which is "better yian a thir
ty million dollar problem ana com
pare that with the one-horse saw-mill
that he made a total failure of, which
he admits caused him to become de
linquent in taxes for .a number of
years." L. E. Rail.
