W.'s should start a pro paganda for the .Bolshevlkt In this country, because they are all one and the same when It comes to the ultimate aim the confiscation of all the means of production, distribu tion and the land. In other words, Lenlne, Trotsky, "Bill" Haywood, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman are urging a revolution In very country- on the face of the globe that will enable the unskilled, those of little skill, and most Ignor ant and the most gullllble to take over and operate all the factories, n the mines, all the railroads and other public utilities, all the banks, all the stores and all the farms In fact, all the productive force, and operate them "In their own sweet way."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE COl'RIKR: I t'nfortunately undi't the laws of the state of Oregon, a public official has no recourse to a court of justice and any Irresponsible parties may set up a complaint. 1 lake this meth od of answering the allegations that have been made against mt as coun ty Judge. , . ', I' I win uiy taking the office Janu ary 1, 1115, the county clerk's re cords show that there ware outstand ing general fund warrants to the amount' ot 1141,007,61. with esti mate accrued Interest to the amount or 115,000.00, making a total out standing Indebtedness of IS8T.007.- I. The report of January 1, Ills, shows In general Tund warrants $101,051.8(1, with estimated ac crued tnttrest of $49,S03.S, Wklng a total of 1150. 355. SO. Our war rants at that time were being dis counted at the rste of, five and ten per fsnt. Previous to this time no provision hsd ever been made by any county court to take care, of the Interest or outstanding warrants, In addition to this, the supplies for the county purchased from the local merchants wsre not only charged with, the retail price, but the rate of discount as well wss added. This stale of affsfra continued for on year. After much consideration, the other members of the county court were persuaded that a sinking fund should be created to take care of the Interest and -outstanding! warrants also a current expense fund to prcyj vms iur iue rooauci 01 10 county business. This action had thf hearty approval of the executive committee 6f the taxpayers league, lis a. result of this procedure, our warrants are today being eagerly sought at par. In the matter of handling the county poor, thla has been dona by the county court as a whole and not by the county Judge, alone. This business has been carried on to the best 'of our ability under the con ditions and circumstances with which we had to contend. We know that 'll Is a matter of large expense but the laws of the state ot Ore gon provide that (he county court shall care for the poor and destltnte and, In so doing we bolleve that they should have sufficient clothing and good, wholesome . food.' After ' two years experience, the court decided to advertise for contracts for the maintenance of thy county poor farm and Its Inmates. Fbur, bids were received, two for 130 por cap ita per month and two for $22 per capita per month. The contract lot the care of the county poor was then let for $22 per capita per month. As a matter of comparison we night mention that the cost of maintaining the poor In Marlon county In , 1(16 was more than $24 per patient. A comparison of conditions In our ad Joining counties will prove 'quite as favorable to Josephine county. ' In regard to the water 'master, the county court has no jurisdic tion .In the matter as thfa Is a state appointment and cop trolled by the state water master. The , county court's responsibility extends merely to the paying of bills .as authorized by 'the state water master. On re commendation, of the county court to the state Water master that a water master be employed bat five months of the year, that official ruled, that he must be employed not lesethan six months 6f the year, which plan Is now In force. No sal ary has' been paid In the water mas ter's office since the middle of No vember. '' At the last meeting of the county court 'the commissioners and county Judge, with the approval of the exe cutive committee of the taxpayers league, decided that It was for the best Interest of Josephine county to purchase the machines that are now a matter of controversy., Since the nse of automobiles are becoming so general the county has annually paid oat more than 'the price of a Ford for auto hire.' , In conclusion, I will say, that had an investigation been made by any committee of responsible cltlsens of the county and they found It was to the best Interests of Josephine coun ty and so requested) I would have stepped aside without a word. Com ing from the source It did, which source I will reveal if necessary, I dropose to defend my administration before the voters of Josephine coun ty until, the same Is vindicated and the untruthfulness of these charges folly established.
