mately 20 yean. Have practiced
law for the past 34 yean, having

Upon graduation from college I
studied law in the office of and
under the direction of my father
while he occupied the circuit
bench in this district and was re­
quired to attend and follow the
actual trial of the cases conducted
in his court from the institution

and all of the court's rulings upon

were given me for study and I
had to view all law points from

ily consists of wife and
son; attended local school
and Oregon State Col­
lege; farmer; been active
in civic affairs, including
church, Red Cross, 4-H
Club. YMCA. Grange and
Boy Scouts, Have en-
deavored to be fair to all
sections of the county,
A few years ago coun-
ty warrants were offered
for ten or more per cent
discount. At one time the
warrant indebtedness
reached over $300,000. In­
terest rate was reduced
from 6 to 5 and then to
4 per cent. Today Jack-
son County is on a cash
basis without any in­
crease in levy. Net bond­
ed indebtedness decreased
to about $15.000. Many
things have contributed
to make this possible.
Confidence was restored.
People have been able to
pay their taxes more regularly. Our discounts for cash have
been greater. Our income from Federal Government has been
continued, especially the sum tn lieu of taxes on the former
railroad lands ,
Many tracts that came to the county through tax fore­
closures have again been placed on the tax roll, a total of
several thousand dollars per year.
The road program which was for several years only one of
poor maintenance through lack of finances, has now been able
to expand and build a few miles of permanent road in several
different sections of the county.
The welfare program has grown during the years until It is
nearly 100.000 annually.
The foregoing could not have been made possible by any one
person, but represents the best efforts of those who have been
members of your court during the last few years.
I have enjoyed my seven years work.
