Editor Leadar: A week after the notices were posted, calling a citizens' meeting to nominate a city ticket, Mr J. F. Stewart wrote an other set of notices and gave them to Mr. W. H. Alexander, who had them posted; the said notices stating that a mass meeting of the citizens of Toledo would be held a day later than the regular citizens' meeting, for the purpose of nominating a cit izens' reform ticket; one pledged to economy and reform in affairs of the city. As a result of the meet- a i t t -w-S mg, w. ti. Alexander ana j. jr. Stewar!: were nominated as stand ard bearers for reform and econ omy. As to Mr. Alexander's reform and economy, I have nothing to say, for he has lived in Benton and Lincoln counties for the past thiity years and the people are the ones to judge ot his economy and re- for retorm in salaries under the county services the sum of $40 Per annum, the present sum is $600, and the -county clerk the sum of $800, since the election fixed at $1200, the county assessor to re ceive the sum of $2 per day, the one who drew the resolution now receiving $3 per day. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Lutz were elected upon this platform arid Mr. Parrish, the present assessor, appointed by Mr. Stewart since the election, and one of the brethren in a great speech at the court house on the eve of the election, held up bis hand to high heaven and pledged him and them to these conditions, and great was the applause thereat. After a care ful examination of the records at he court house, we find first, that Mr. Stewart, the . county judge has drawn . regularly each month the sum of $50. Second, We find that the clerk has drawn the sum of $100 per month, and also a large sum as depuyt hire. Third, We find that Assessor Parrish has drawn $3 per day, and for his deputies over $2. So much form. As to Mr. Stewart and reform, I desire to say a few words, for the reason that he is a new resident in this county and it has come to pass of late years, that a reformer form resolution. Now we want to go on record as saying that the . sum received by Mr. Lutz as clerk is not a sum sufficient to do the work of the ! clerk's office and tav his dpntitiM c r 1 : 1 r j r irum tne rauuppcr iuc tunic d keep tfae office up and accom, times looked distrust upon with a little inc.

Thereupon, Mr. Stewart said that we need not let the people have anything to say about that, that the legislature was in session and we or he could go down to Salem and get an enabling act passed al lowing the city of Toledo to in crease her indebtedness to $5,000. Mr. Stewart was told in very plain English that if he wanted a court house, to go and do as he had pledged himself to do before the last election, for every citizen knows that Mr. Stewart pledged himself before election to the citizens of Toledo and the Indians on the Si letz that if they would vote for him that a court house would be under construction after the first regular meeting in August, and a glance at the old files of the Levder will show his position on that question. Now, if Mr. Stewart desires to be elected as a reform candidate in city affairsr it might be well enough to examine into the affairs of the county over which he presides with such dignity. Let us see what his administration Las done in the way of economy and reform. First, if we are not mistaken, Mr. Stewart was elected upon a platform for One piece of economy that the Judge has practiced over at the court house, we hardly think meets the approval of the people, is the . dis continuance of the janitor. Mr. Kubler was receiving $15 from the county and $4" per month from the clerk'and sheriff, making a total of $19 per month for his services. But Mr. Kubler made an offer to Mr. Stewart that, if it was in the interest of economy, he would serve for $10 per month. Since the J udge discontinued the janitor he Jias moved his office into the clerk's office, and the court also meets in the clerk's office, and Mr. Ross and Mr. Lutz, who are still paying the janitor, are really the ones who are paying for the economy of the county, if there is any economy. We assure anyone that, if they will visit the court house woodshed and privy, that all thoughts of economy will be knocked sky high, for a time at least. The conditions are such that, if the Judge does not soon attend to this matter, the city will have to declare it a nuisance. When Messrs. Stewart and Lutz went to Salem just before the close of the special session to look . after ecouomy and reform, and in one of 1 tne'r salaries, we suppose it yas in the conventions that endorsed and 1 e inieresi ot economy and reform. While we are saying a few( words nominated him, a resolution, in substance as follows was passed: vallts. Toledo owns a lot, gradi and ready, for the building ol city hall. Toledo owns a I block of 12 lot for city park pi poses. Toledo owns a fine c wharf and bulkhead. Toledo h graded, cut or tilled her stre crossings and laid sidewalks whefi necessary. Toledo has done rnof st-rtet work than any other tw in Oregon of her population, a: ma: men at work and all this is pa; for, and under the present admit: tration, and Toledo has no bond indebtedness. Her only indebte ness is $670.00, which is in 0: standing warrants. Toledo's hif est tax levy . has been only m mills on the dollar. We have t served as mayor of the city fo: years and will serve one yearmci and while wte have not had a vc in the council, we have ente every act of that body, and wes: proud of our young city, and ' believe that with such men as Jo: Ofstedahl and George Bauman.W of the largest taxpayers in the cii not influenced by rings or cliqn and H. Owen, in place of C. Crosno, who are the regular citi ens' nominees, are elected with the present holdovers, To!t will still forge to the fronting future as in the past. B. F.
