CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
THE CRUX OF When the attempt to
THE MATTER oust County Judge
Beatie and County Commissionary
Blair first was put under way in its
present form, there was much to-do
over a report embracing a series of
charges. This report was duly inves
tigated and reported upon by the
biased "committee of three" appointed
at a "mass meeting," and the valiant
trio gave forth the announcement tiat
they had found the charges true in
every particular. It was natural to
suppose, therefor, that the campaign
against the members of the county
court would be made along the lines
set forth in these charges.
However, such has not been the
case. The original charges have not
only been denied, but have been re
pudiated by some of the men who put
the official. "O. K. of the recallers up
on them. The Courier has time after
time printed inconspicuous apologies
for . "errors" and "misapprehensions"
that found their way into their report,
and Robert Schuebel, one of the in
vestigators, has issued a statement de
claring that Judge Beatie, in his reply
and refutation of these original
charges, has been telling the truth.
The whole fight has been made upon
new charges, trumped up from week
to week, and flaunted in the fact of
the public until they were disapproved
and then forgotten and cast aside for
other charges no more trustworthy.
In a desperate effort to throw some
slimy mud at the county officials that
would stick the recallers have stopped
at nothing, but to date they have made
no charges which even their preju
diced witnesses have been able to sub
stantiate. Prominent leaders of the
recall have had the lie passed to them
in person at various public meetings,
and have sunk to their seats abashed.
Such has been the puerile weakness
of their campaign.
Yet they ask- that two men, against
whose public record there has been
no valid complaint made, be dragged
down from their office and disgraced,
so that a few selfish and disappointed
gentry can gain plums at the expense
of the public. Their campaign, futile
and aimless save for the purpose of
slandering and besmirching the county
judge and one of t.he commissioners,
has fallen flat in the last analysis.
Yet they ask voters to go to the polls
and carry out their will, so that their
own little ambitions may be satisfied,
and so that they can claim that their
attacks have been justified. It is In
deed a pitiful spectacle.
Perhaps no better summary of the
absolute weakness of the case against
Judge Beatie and Commissioner Blair
' can be given than a letter from O. D.
Robbins, a well known and prominent
citizen of Logan, who wrote to The
Courier to set that paper straight in
regard to the entire recall matter.
The Courier dared not refuse to print
the letter, but they buried It as best
' they could. The Enterprise herewith
reprints this communication, and ad
vises every voter and every person In
terested in fair play to study,4t care
fully, and to base his judgment upon
the question upon Mr. Robbins' re
marks. The letter follows.
Logan, July 28, 1913.
Editor Courier:
The Courier has expressed a desire
to smoke out someone to defend the
county court and as I do not generally
avoid an opportunity to defend men
or measures that are attacked when I
believe in them, I wish to give some ;
of my reasons for opposing the recall. 1

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
In my humble judgment the direct
charges of extravagance and the im
plied charges of fraud have not been
sustained and to make the statement
stronger, I believe the court has ac
complished more for the county than
any court we have ever r had. The
mistakes have been grossly exagger
ated. The good things have been ig
nored or denied and the mostly un
founded and unproven charges have
been so industriously and persistently
made that a lot of suspicion has been
aroused. Because taxes have been
high a little evidence with a lot of
statement has made a big impression.
When ..Judge Beatie canvassed the
county he stated in every precinct, I
presume, as I know he did at Logan,
that while times were good, he was
in favor of increasing the tax rate to
gradually pay the debt. That looked
good to me then and it looks better to
me now when the court has carried
it out and made a substantial reduc
tion in the debt. In fact, Judge Beatie
claims that Mr. Hackett's report,
which can easily be verified from the
records, shows the councy was nearly
$100,000 better off at the end of
March, 1912, than at the end of
March, 1910. This, besides building
many permanent steel bridges with
concrete piers; the annexation to the
court house, and the large amounts
spent on the roads. If there is any
way to pay off a county debt without
reaching into the tax-payers' pockets,
show me. And while you are about
it, show me that it is not wise to pay
off the debt and make permanent im
provements in the way of roads and
bridges.
If taxes are higher for a while it
is the road to lower taxes in the fu
ture. When I was in debt I worked
hard to make as large payments as
possible. I've never regretted it and
as a citizen of the county I uphold a
similar course in the county court.
The mass meeting committee that
examined the county records evident
ly made the mistake of blaming the
total taxation on the county court
when they claimed the court was in
bad to the amount of $163,000, as
compared with the court of 1910.
Judge Beatie's statement published
in the Telegram enters into minute de
tails and gives exact figures of the
taxes of 1910 and 1912 and separates
the mandatory taxes from the other
for both years. These mandatory
taxes such as the state and special
road and school taxes, the court has
nothing to do with it' in levying or
expending and this puts an entirely
different feat on the matter and
shows as before stated that the county
had gone ahead nearly $100,000 in
the two yeass besides paying an In
crease in mandatory taxes of over
$82,000 and that the increase of taxes
of 1912 over those of 1910, for which
the court was responsible, was less
than $9,000 - -
If will be remembered that before
the previous county judge was elected
he had promised to get the county out
of debt before the expiration, of hiB
term, but his courage was not equal
to the necessary increase in taxation
and he gave up the job. Shall we
show by our actions and votes that
we do nbt appreciate it when we get
a court that has the courage of its
convictions and does the necessary
and proper thing?
I suggest that if the Courier is sin
cere in desiring to publish a defense
by Judge Beatie, that it publish the
complete statement by him, published
in The Telegram of, I think July 6th,
as the clipping is headed the 15th. I
-would ask all candid voters to read it
carefully and ask themselves if it is
not a complete and satisfactory reply
to the charges of the Pomona Grange
resolutions, which head the article. I
presume the article was published in
The Enterprise also.
As to the bridge contracts, if any
thing wrong was proven it was a
technical violation of law not neces
sarily showing the county was
wronged, as the other part of the
charge depended, as I understand it,
on the evidence of one expert, as did
the court often differ and make mis
takes in such cases.
And the timber cruising, who knows
it would have been cheaper to do it by
day's work and is there anyone in the
county with sufficient experience to
warrant them in bidding less?
