0 COURTHOUSE ISSUE AGAIN CONSIDERED Klamath Voters Once More Begin Historic Fight. Kelia JUDGESHIP RACE WARM THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1920 I Three Buildings Stand In County Seat City for Use ot ' Judicial Offices. Klamath county's courthouse ques tion again holds undisputed first place In political issues there prior to the November election, three actual buildings erected for court house pur poses adorn the county seat city now. It is hardly expected that another administration will add to the list, however, since the county judge responsible for the last one was speedily recalled by vote of the peo ple. In the meantime offices of Klamath's court and officials are still In the superannuated building and its annex. The court house fight arose in 1910 when the Klamath Development com pany offered a five acre tract in the east end of Klamath Falls for a court house site. The site was accepted and an expression of the people indicated their desire to be taxed for the erec tion of a $200,000 courthouse on this location. Property owners in the older part of the city, on the west ide, formerly the original town of Ltinkville, were very much opposed to the plan and their organized efforts to defeat the new project won for them the famous title of "Hog Com bine." But with the election in 1910 of "William Worden as county judge the new court house contract was let and work begun. Litigation and in junctions followed every move and at the expiration of Judge Worden's term of office only the masonry had been completed, with no inside finish ing done. Marion Hanks was the next judge on the courthouse issue, his nlatform being a promise to complete the build ing if, possible. But after taking charge of his office he made a "scrap of paper" of his pre-election promise and secretly let a contract illegally as afterward held in court for the erection of a courthouse in western Klamath Falls, alongside the old one. The contractor was paid a large sum of money and proceeded to build Klamath county's third courthouse. Irate residents of the county immedi ately held a recall election and re moved Judge Hanks from office. Robert Bunnell was then elected to fill the vacancy upon his pledge that he would do all in his pbwer to have the Hot Springs courthouse completed as originally planned. During his term he has fought consistently to Rain this end, and Just now a circuit court decision favoring this project Is in the supreme court, awaiting a confirmation or reversal. Needless to say, it was taken there by members of the combination opposing the Hot Springs courthouse. Bunnell is a candidate for-re-elec-tlon on the same platform now, his appeal to .the voters being that he be given a chance to fight the court house question to a settlement and make good on his former promise. All other issues of the local election oc cupy second place and even national Issues are nearly eclipsed by the now historic- courthouse question. Other When the recipe says "milk" use Carnation.
