“Is Turn-About Foul Play?”
(Continued from page one)
editor with your record should iear to give anyone an excuse
to dig tip your past. You know what we mean, and if you
continue to issue ultimatums, we shall sec that others kno^*
the background behind the man who loves to picture himscNF
as Creation’s Gift to southern Oregon.
You have moaned and raved about your “invisible govern-
ment” till you have some of the natives half frantic with hate
and prejudice—have them so angered they are blinded to the
fact you design to use them as tools merely to gain your
selfish ends, and .will hand them a worse deal than any ad
ministration we have ever had. Your victims, for your fol
lowers are certainly nothing else, don't realize that you had
the same "invisible government" heckling you in California
and that you insist on calling it "invisible" because you fear
some day someone might ask you to produce the corpus
delecti.
It will be but a matter of time until The Miner informs
them on ull these points so that they may better understand
\our selfish anti apparently dishonest motives in inciting vio
lence and mob action. We have started a thorough investiga
tion of your past atrocities and already have uncovered several
startling and disgraceful things.
In view of the fact you love to issue ultimatums, and also
in view of the fact this column is more or less a parody on
your blitherings, we issue one of them there things too.
How about case No. 3071-L? You still haven't rallied to
your own defense is it because you dislike embezzlement
proceedings ?
You seem to have overlooked the query into your prac
tice of labeling fruit. Is it true you placed Okanogan labels on
southern Oregon apples?
Hasn’t it been a practice of yours over a period of many
years—long before the depression—to tie up fruitgrowers on
some shoestring deal for property, default in payments, taxes
and interest, but all the while remove valuable crops from
their orchards and pocket the money, not only in southeri'
Oregon, but also in River sole and vicinity? Isn’t it one oL
your business principles to harvest huge crops on other peo
ples’ lands and then let them attempt to seek redress in the
courts ?
Isn’t it true banks in southern California have written off
their books thousands of dollars because of your activities?
Are you ready to admit that a half-dozen banks in your former
home hold not several, but DOZENS, of worthless mortgages,
notes, chattels and other papers with your name affixed?
Would you like to teil your readers just how many times
you have taken bankruptcy already? Is it more than three?
Can you explain to your great grand jury just why the
prominent banks in Riverside, Calif., absolutely REFUSE to
transact business with you or permit you in their places of
business? And is it not true open threats have been made
against you there by growers who you STILL owe for crops
I sold and collected for years ago?
When reciting in your own paper your many qualifications
i for curing the country's evils, why didn’t you also include the
information that you have never been anything but a failure,
financially anil otherwise?
We’re warning you, Mr. Hogwallow Blatter Miscarriage,
that our sources of information are broadening in »cope and
increasing in thoroughness, and as long as you foist yourself
upon the public we fed it our duty to reveal your true char
acter to our readers—for their own protection. Of course you
realize there is much more dirt we could bring out. some of
it of such scandalous nature you would he publicly disgraced.
But if such facts were printed innocent persons might suffer,
so you may rest assured we’ll not print that type of news—yet.
It has been our contention in the past that all who desire
public acclaim thereby open themselves to public criticism if
they are not sincere. You know what your past is, and you
also realize much of it is on public record where we can gc
hold of it. You should realize by now that as long as yo
insist on menacing the public The Miner will continue—despit
your threats—to tdl the real characteristics you have been
hiding. If you leave your "great grand jury" alone and quit
disgracing this one-time peaceful and admirable valley we
leave you alone.
You have heard our ultimatum; now choose your own
course.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp
of tower.
And all that riches, all that
wealth e're gave.
Await alike, the inevitable hour,
The paths of glory, lead but to
the grave.
