And In rond district numbor G wo hnd to flguro nearly nil of tho tax ovor, ns most of tho tnxpayers re fused to uy tho special tax lovled by said district. Tho samo Is true of tho special tax lovled for the Port of Coos Hay many rofusod to pay tho tax thus causing a great deal of extra work on tho pnrt of tho sheriff 'a rllco In rcflgurlng the tnx. Tho totnl cost for extra holp for tho monthB of January, I-ob ruary, March nnd April, 1912, wan $1825.00 nnd tho largest numbor of oxtra dorks was nlno. In the spring of 1910 tho Inrgeat numbor of dorks wna nlno nnd In 191 1 trie largest number was 10 for a fow daya and tho rest of tho tlmo nlno. In tho spring of tho year nbout tnx tlmo tho nbstrnct companion al ways havo somo of their employes looking up tnx matters, and tho tax association keeps tholr socrotnry checking up tholr mombors' proper ty n good shnro of tho tlmo. It Is nothing uncommon to bco 12 or 15 nooplo working In tho ofllco during tho rush, but thoy nro not nil work ing for Coos county, by nny means. Tlio totnl cost of labor for col lecting tnxos for a given year does not exceed 3-4 of ono por cont nnd, I dofy nny mnn to show nnythlng to tno contrary, it nns nocn cam by somo unscruplous Blatherskites, who would rathor find fault with an ofllcor than oat their dlnnor, thnt I hnvo na many clerka In my ofllco as thoy havo in tho ahorlff b offlco In Portland. Tho facta aro that tho ahorlff in Portland has two departments In his offlco. In tho legal dopartmont thoro Is ono chlof deputy at $150.00 por month, ono second deputy nt $112,50, flvo at $100.00 each, two jailors ai yu each and ono mntron nt $70.00, ng- irroentlnir a total of 10 regular dep uties In tho logal dopartmont that nro on tho pay roll every month In thn vnnr. In tho tnx dopartmont thero Is a. chief doputy nt $125.00 per monm. two nt $112.50 each nnd eight at $90.00, aggregating a toiai oi ai rinnuHoR In the tnx department that nro on tho pay roll overy month In thn vnnr. Thla mnkes n torn! of twonty-ono doputlea for tho sherirr or sum- noman county mm i" " " will nvnrv mnn Ml In tllO VOaT. These are not all as tho sheriff uses from 40 to 50 clerks in addi tion to his regular deputies aunng tho spring rush. Now these nro facts that anyone may possess by simply writing to the sheriff or tho county nudltor at Portland, nnd I defy nny one to disprove tho samo. Tho legal business of the county has Increased enormously as you will see by tho fact that from June ia loci rvfnher 28. 1912. 57 1-3 years, there has been a total of 3453 civil cases brought In the circuit court and out of that num ber 1105 cases In the last 6 1-3 years, which Is nlmost 1-3 of all tho legal business of the county from Its beginning. This Is quite nn Increase when you stop to think that tho first 51 years of the coun ty thero was only 2348 civil cases brought In the circuit court and in tho last C 1-3 years, 1105. The criminal business has also increased In proportion to otber business of tho county, as you will nolo timt from January 1st, 1892 - .iuiy isi, i07, 140 prlsonors woro registered In tho county Jail, while from July lat, 1907. to od rr2'. 1,912, thero has been 139 reg stored, which shows that . v-.iuuuui worK ror the last 5 1-3 i,niHnoCqu,n1?, nn ot tho criminal SSrdl&.C0U,,,,rf0rt,,0lBH mm. i.. r .i """"-Ba oi mo eniiro yor, lll l""t four years, In stead of having a truancy officer for each sclinn iiiairi. .i.i...

Tho holy Binoko! What docs ho meant uoea ho mean that ho will collect 100 cents on the dollar nnd pay over to the county treasurer 30 ccnta on the dollar nnd spond tho other 70 cents campaigning? Ho nlso says thnt ho will not nmko the offlco a family feed trough. From that ono would nat urally lnfer that ho intenda to hoard at a hotel and lot his family niBtlo for themselves. A nlco mnn to bo sheriff! Ho also says that ho believes that ono of tho principal duties of tho shorlff Is to prevent lnw breaking. Geo, what a mighty man. No doubt that ho thinks ho s greater thnn tho "Great Je hovah." Civilization hns been trying Tor 7000 years to prevent law-breaking and hnan't succeeded yot. Do you think Olo enn do It? Mr. Lund saya that ho will ap point Amorlcan-born deputies. Why should n son of Norway bo nil right for sheriff nnd not good enough for hla deputies? Thla Is ono of his mnny bnlta to catch voters. Mr. Lund says thnt mnny mls stntementa nro being mndo nbout him In his nbsenco nbout tho coun ty. This Is a Btntomcnt whoroln hb trios to convey tho Idea thnt ho hns boon nbsont from tho county. Hal Ha! What fools somo peopio are. Rvory man. woman ami rhtlil knows ho hna been on tho job ov ory nour or tlio day slnco tho bo ginning of this cnmnnlcn. Somo peopio wondor how ho gota along without sloop. Now, Mr. Voter and Mr. Tax payer, my opponent-, Mr. Lund hns boon nny old thing for tho ofllco. For Instnnco ho was before tho as sembly In 1910 and wns dofontod by Mr. John Yonknm tho Republi can nomination for ahorlff. Then ho enmo boforo tho primaries Inst spring ns tho Ilcpubllcnn primary candidate ror slioriff of Cooa coun ty and received tho nomination Then ho procccdod to got n lot of cards out advertising hlmsolf to ho tho "Progroaslvo rtopubllcnn enn (I Ida to," then another lot stating thnt ho wna tho "Progroaslvo and regular Republican nomlnco," then ho finally dropped all handles nnd snya no is tno "Iiopuhllcnn" rnndl dnto for ahorlff. A good many poo plo nro of tho opinion thnt ho would no a Democrat, Socialist, Prohlbl tlonlat or nny old thing to bo sheriff of this county. You will noto his criticism of what ho terms my bolng lenient with prlsonors. Do you think It rair7 uo you want a slioriff to treat his prisoners llko thoy nro tronted in llussia7 if bo, elect Mr, wind. otnorwiBO, I expect your support. I will stnto that after Mr. Lund got out tho first lot of tho aforo- montionod circulars that ho chnngod his mind nbout tho doputy business nnd cut thnt part of tho circular out whoro ho roforrod to Amorlcan born doputlea or olso ho got out enough to hand to tho Amorlcnn born voters with It In nnd thon another brow, whoro It Is loft out to hand to voters of foreign birth. At nny rato. both kinds aro botng circulated, in conclusion I win stnto that I am not responsible for tho tnx laws that aro upon our statutes. Wo aro abllged to iol low them In order to protoct tho county's rights and not poopnrdlzo tho collection of any tnx. And that I havo alwaya dono my best to ox pedlto tho business of tho sheriffs ofllco and at tho loast posslblo ox- ponso to tho county, and will, If oiectcu, do bo in mo ruiuro nna at all times do my very best to sustain lnw and order and at tho samo tlmo give you a good business administration.
