TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JUDGE BUSHEY ' Editor Statesman : ' The late Judge "William Bushey of Marion county deserves more than the merely formal notices given almost any man upon his departure nowaday. As a public man with a long Tecord of service he stood in a class by himself, and had few -who were his equal in administrative ability. He, was possessed of democratic ideals that are the essence of true Americanism, and t6 which our country must return or be swept into a Whirlpool of shoddy officialism that places selfish interest above service of the people Bora in Pennsylvania of poor but high minded parents of Virginia ancestors, he came .west and took up a hill farm in the Santiam country. He read law and fol- ' lowed surveying for a living, and naturally drifted to the county seat. -Always the plainest of the jlain in his habits of life, he was more nearly the Abraham 4 Lincoln ' type than any man Oregon' has produced, ; He kept the mind and mental habits so characteristic of the great commoner, down to the last "day of his long service ! of fifteen years as head1 of the county government. I ! '. - ' :ly '-1 No man has ever lived tin -Oregon ywhp gave, the t people of our second largest "county the service in office that he did. lie was county judge, probate judge, trial judge, judge of the juvenile court, a member of j the board of commissioners, and chairman of the board,' and was, never away from his office or his work," except for two 'weeks vacation, ;in all that long term. He handled more money disbursing with his twocolleagues, (the other two county commissioners) millions of money and was never accused of having a cent stick to hiis f ingers'that did not belong to, him, or of knowingly improperly disbursing a cent, and the word dishonesty was never in the vocabulary in which he was discussed by any citizen of anypolitical shade of thought,- That such earnest,; honest service may jhave left him enemies' at times was-most natural and human, but those ene mies were always dissolved in the background 1 of the deep ' tincerity of the man. !i ' , Judge Bushey,; based on the record bf service rendered, in iriyiiis the people of Marion county a good county administra-r lion,: holding down the extravagant -.tendencies which are t da' tommon in public affairs, and keeping the county' on an even keel financially, was without doubt the best man who ever held that office ia this county and; so far as anyone knows in this state orw the entire west.' Pyramiding taxes and Jacking up salaries through the Legislature lias, been the favorite indoor political sport ol the; past twenty years, but he was never a party. The theory that taxes must be continually going higher was knocked silly by Judged Bushey; as during his term county XJevies in Marion did not go up. The professional salary boosters and Jojrollers never got a 'helpinghand front himVl Take the Reliable Standard Itlerchandise ;i a gehnbaum Linen f finish it "Tnbin 40in:39c 2m.42c ; Blankets I 72x80 1st Quality i 4z7 i j 52.25 38-inch Oating Flannel , White or Striped Yard 25c 36-inch Daisy Outing Flannel Yard 30c --;:-Girl,r.:i: fAUWool .Sweaters 02.50 and $3 Girls' Coats Sizes 6 to 14 Direct , f rony New York Newest Styles Reasonable Prices matter of his own salary. He served 15 years at $1500 a year, exeept for the last few years when, his salary was raised by the Legislature, i without his reuest,Mo $1800. But that salary is paid to many mere clerical! subordinate employes of the state. During the 15 years he served, there were only two salary raises by the action and consent of the county court over which he presided. The treasurer's salary was raised to $1500. The county clerk's salary was raised to $1800: All the rest of thd county salaries stood, and the county got good,; first-class ser vice. This gives the lie to the whole salary boosting profes sion that swarm about the legislative halls. But Judge Bushey 's fight for good business administration did not stop there. The professionals and general class of sharpers who make a bee-line for the state house, court house, city hall and other departments of government, to sell machinery, inventions, equipments, and all the predatory money-making 'schemes that fasten like parasites upon evlery department. of government, never made any impression upon Judge Bushey, or the general administration of Marion county. The big machinery houses that raid the state and counties and cities for enormous con tracts and to sell patented devices generally came away from the Salem court house with a very bad opinion of Judge Bushey 's progressiveness on their particular line. . In financial matters, Judge Bushey was equally conserva tive, and democratic. Judging by the way other counties have plunged in debt, we can only ,conclude that but for Judge Bushey s watchdog proclivities Marion county WUUIjIJ ILAVJb A BONDED DEBT TODAY OF FROM TEN TO TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. In place of that the county has no bond ed debt, but for market roads which the people voted on them selves. Judge Bushey always discouraged the people from sad dling-themselves with bonded indebtedness. Under his admin- lsiraiion ine county was piaceu auu un u casu uusw, wim no interest burden, and county warrants were always at par. The game of the warrant-scalpers, discounting the people's obligations that have to be made up by the taxpayer was ended by Judge Bushey. There should be a public monument erected to his memory inscribed with the words : "AS A PUBLIC SERVANT HE PLAYED THE ? GAME FOR THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE BILLS." Marion county has not only been the best governed: county in the state, but probably the best governed county in the United States. 'For 15 years not a dol lar of public money has been wasted, or if there was no one has called attention to it. ., J s 3 . ; ?! ;, Governor Pierce in appointing a successor to Judge Bushey could, have .made no higher demand than to have ex acted a pledge that' he should follow in the footsteps of such a worthy public servant, whose influence has been felt in our city and school district, and in every municipal subdivision of Mariou county..v:;b;tsijfc(; I'-'r -':-' "' . -:. It would be a perfect iJodsend to a city like Salem if it could have its affairs administered as the county has been by three commissioners, headed i by a man of the character o Judge Bushey. With this kind of a city and county govern ment people would seek out this community from all over the United States to invest 4 money, build their honies, establish business and industries where the professional taxraisers could not confiscate earnings as fast as the people made them. We ciin hope for no such, results in our state affairs, because a nom ination to a state office is dictated today by the thousands of persons upon the state payrolls, not by those who pay the bills. Let. us offer up a prayer that our community, and. pur country may be delivered from those who love their fellowmen for. what there is in it, instead of being animated by the high and noble spirit of democratic service which was so characteristic of the late Honorable William Bushey.

Yet the fairs have con tinued to , function - just as if no one, had. told them they were out of ' date. 1 True, the ; smali 1 ones have been weeded out, but the ones that had' an excuse for exi istence have survived. There is a reason why fairs have' survived.' They have met a real need;' they hare filled a 1 real laee ia the country. It is , idle to say they hare been kept alive to gire men jobs. The faira are of such short duration that the average; man disarranges his work more by be inz connected with a fair than If he had nothing to do with one. Pairs have lived because they had a real lace in the scheme of at fsirs. ? The La Grande Observer has raised the query this year. It is answered by stating that every fair in the country worth while has had an Increased attendance this year.' People do not have to go to fairs. : They pay to go.

This 'is not always the case, however One of the shortest stories I ever read is to be found in the sixteenth chapter of Second Chronicles: "Asa, in the thirty and ninth year of his reign , was diseased in his feet, until his di sease was exceeding great: Yet in his disease he sought not the Lord, but to the physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers." The - average speaker can tell his story , in 15 minutes if he will choose his words. .
