VOTE FOR
W . J. HARTZELL
for County J u d g e
Because be lias spent the past 15 years
in constructive work in the Valley.
Because he is a large property owner
and heavy tax payer, his taxes in
1923 being $2715.39.
Because he is law abiding himself and
believes that all laws should he obey­
ed.
Because he stands for a county-wide
road program with a square deal to
every section of the county.
Because lie is qualified by experience
and ability.
Statement by Mr. Hartzell
1’ ifteen years ago I came to this county, invest­
ed my money in the Three Oaks Ranch/ about 3
miles south of Medford, where I have resided ever
since. This ranch eomprij-es 253 acres of fruit, alf­
alfa and general farming land, and I have lived on,
larmed and operated this land during all of this
time.
I am a firm believer in law enforcement and
am in sympathy with the present prohibition laws.
1 hey will, at all times receive my hearty support.
However, I am opposed to special prohibition em­
ployees working in conflict with the sheriff’s office.
The responsibility for performing the duties of bis
office is and should be squarely placed on tbe sher­
iff. If deputies are necessary they should be given
him. If lie tails to function, the people have their
remdey.
There should be cooperation between all county
officers, divided authority tends to bring about
conflict.
I am a firm believer in good roads, provided
tbe money is expended judiciously and the tax-pay-
er gets value received, and that each road district
receives the money to which it is entitled under the
law.
My only thought in offering myself as a candi­
date is that I may, if elected, bring to the office long
practical experience and be of some service to the
citizens of this county in putting our disturbed
county conditions on a progressive and safe basis.
The Right Man in the Right Place
My acquaintance with Mr. Hartzell, the repub­
lican candidate for county judge, dates hack almost
to the time when he came to Jackson County, fifteen
years ago, to take charge of the Three Oaks orchard,
lie had some alfalfa land, and some grain land, but
most of thé property was planted to y’oung orchard,
unproductive, and a source of expense for twelve
months in the year. He has stuck to his job, year
in, year out, and brought the property to a point
where it is financially profitable. As I look back
and remember the people who have failed to suc­
ceed with similar undertakings, I know that lie has
persistence, good judgment and business ability. He
couldn’t have made the grade otherwise.
When the Talent Irrigation District was organ­
ized, Mr. Hartzell was elected director and has
served as president of the Board ever since. I live
in that district and I know something of the diffi­
culties that have been overcome and of the work
that has been accomplished, and I believe that to
Mr. Hartzell more than to any other one man, is due
the success of the project.
Last spring I was associated with a number of
others in organization of the Tax Payers and Anti-
Paving committee. We were interested in lowering-
taxes and, with that end in view, suggested to the
county court that a committee he appointed by the
court or elected (one member from each road dis­
trict) to sit with the court in all vital matters con­
cerning road work. We believed that such a commit­
tee would largely do away with unnecessary expen­
ditures of county money on roads and result in a
more equitable distribution of the funds.
Here is what Mr. Hartzell said when the plan
was submitted to him:
“ Such a plan, in case I should be elected, would
meet with my entire approval. By such a method a
just distribution could more nearly be reached as to
expenditures and more efficient, satisfactory and
equitable results rendered the citizens of the wlmle
country.
“ Any county judge should welcome the assist­
ance of such a committee, in determining some of
the important questions concerning roads. Through
tins course the county judge is kept in constant
touch witii the needs and wishes of his constituency.
Hov\e\ei, it should be distinctly understood
that at no time should the county judge surrender
any ot either the duties or responsibilities of bis
office.”
The more I read that the better T like Mr. Hart­
zell’s attitude. Willing to take advice, but surrend­
ering none of the responsibilities of the office. I like
Mr. Hartzell’s stand on another matter. He says:
“ I am a firm believer in law enforcement and
am in sympathy with the present prohibition laws.
They will at all times receive my hearty support.
However, I a.m opposed to special prohibition em­
ployees working in conflict with the sheriff’s office.
The responsibility for performing the duties of his
office is and should be^squarely placed on tbe sher­
iff. If deputies arc necessary they should he given
him. If he fails to function, the people have their
remedy. ’ ’
Mr. Hartzell’s taxes for 1923 were $2715.39. He
is a heavy taxpayer. He is not a tax dodger. He is
interested in reducing taxes and in case he is elected
county judge and it is possible to reduce taxes, I be­
lieve he will do so.
Knowing him as a rancher, as a private citizen,
as a business man, and as a public official, I believe
if we elected Mr. Hartzell county judge we will be
putting the right man in the right place.
S. A. NYE.
Talent, Oregon, October 26, 1924.
Endorsed by His Neighbors
As citizens of Jackson County, actuated by the
thought ot serving ourselves and other over-bur­
dened tax payers, and not entirely through personal
friendship, and recognizing a desire among a large
number of voters for information concerning tbe
qualifications of candidates, we do hereby unquali­
fiedly endorse the candidacy of W. J. Hartzell for
the office of County Judge, for the following
reasons:
1. He is and lias been for more than 15 years,
the owner of a 252 acre fruit and general farming
ranch three miles south of Medford.
2. That because of such ownership lie has
been a heavy" taxpayer and from actual trials and
experiences become thoroughly familiar with the
many difficult and serious problems that have, do
now, and will continue for some time to confront
the farmer and taxpayer of this county.
3. He is mature in both years and practical
experience, successful in bis private affairs, respect­
ed and esteemed by all who know him.
4. He is the kind and character of a man need­
ed to assume charge of the large financial interests
of our county, in this period of required retrench­
ment following the disastrous experience of a county
loss of more than $100,(X)0.<)0 in the Jacksonville
Bank failure.
5. His candidacy is based upon a pledge of
careful, prudent business management and an honest
effort to reduce taxes to a point not inconsistent
with the proper and natural development of the
county, which all recognize is possible by applying
practical business experience and methods, which
qualifications are possessed by Mr. Hartzell in a
high degree.
