Certain intersects, moved mostly by selfishness and pique, and also by ambition, have pro duced charges which so far have not been borne out by facts, and one by one the hollow accusations of mis management have collapsed. Through out this campaign of mis-statement and misrepresentation, The Enter prise has refrained from entering in to the controversy, save when it has, from time to time, printed news stories dealing with the local situa tion. This paper has editorially ex pressed its opinion of the frame-up against the county court, but even at that it has not in any sense cham pioned the commissioners nor the county judge. It has simply tried to give them a square deal. That will be the policy of The En terprise for sometime to come. This paper believes in the square deal, and it has attained its present pres tige in this county largely because it has told the truth to the best of its ability, and spared nobody in telling the truth. The Enterprise believes that it is the duty of a newspaper to print the news, and to print it as nearly correctly as it is possible to obtain it. This has been the stand of this paper in regard to the county court matter, as well as in regard to other matters. There is another side to this county court business that has not as yet been brought to the light. Under the present control, Clackamas county has bean Drought to a sound financial basis for the first time since its or ganization. In April of this year the county was absolutely out of debt for the first time in its .history. More over, it was brought to this condition in spite of the outlay of thousands of dollars for public improvements and for needed betterments in the county building. Previous county adminis trations for some terms back have known, for instance, that the county court house was in need of repair and enlargement. Each administra tion, for reasons of its own, "passed the buck" to the next. The present county court accepted the responsibil ity, did the work in a creditable and efficient manner and still had the county out of debt in April. The present county court .has built a large number of steel bridges for the public highways, replacing old and inadequate wooden structures. These bridges cost money. The coun ty court found a way to spend this money that was required and still had th9 county out of debt in April. The present county court has cared for other things in the line of public work. It has cared for the poor, it lias contributed as required to var ious development and booster plans and still it had the county out of debt in April. In short, the present county com missioners and the county judge have given Clackamas county a business administration. They have accepted the responsibilities passed down to them by previous administrations, they have met their bills, they have served, the people faithfully and to the best of their ability and they had the county out of debt for the first time in its history. , Does a record like this look as if SMALL TRACTS 60 acres. Will cut into any size tracts of 5 acres or larger, or will sell the whole tract. 22 acres cleared; 35 acres under fence, balance of land in brush and timber. Best of soil. Land around this is selling for $250.00 to $300.00 per acre. We will sell this for $200.00 per acre on terms of 10 per cent down, 2 per cent per month at 5 per cent interest. 2 miles from Oregon City, most of the way on good macadamized road. Dillman & Howland these men ought td be recalled on a batch of trumped-up, flimsy and mis leading charges? Does this record make it seem that the present court is incompetent, or is stealing the people's money, or is unworthy of the trust imposed upon them? In short, is there anything in this rec ord that gives the slightest excuse for recall talk? Any fair, open-minded man must conclude that a court that can accomplish these things is a good court, that in the main it is doing right by the people, and that it deserves the, support of the people.
