MORROW COCJSTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, Fbruary 24, 1916
POUT1CS.
The political situation in Morrow
county has taken on new life and new
form within the past two weetcs ana
many candidates are announcing
themselves. And singularly enough
Up to the present time no two candi
dates are seeking the same office.
George McDuffee is seeking re-election
to the office of sheriff, J. A. Wa
ters for clerk and Hanson Hughes
has announced his candidacy for
county treasurer. This week brings
forth the names or S. E. Notson for
district attorney and M. L, Case lor
coroner. With the exception of Mr.
Hughes, democrat, all -other candi
dates are slated for the republican
ticket.
The announcement of S. E. Not
Bon for district attorney means there
will be an opening for political as
pirants to the office of county school
superintendent. During the eight
years which Mr. Notson has served
Morrow county, there has been a
remarkable growth in educational
work in the state of Oregon, and in
many respects, educationally, Oregon
now leads the Union. This develop
ment necessarily greatly added to the
work of the county school superin
tendents, and it is quite needless to
esv that Mr. Notson has devoted his
entire time and attention to the
schools of this county. He has placed
tho wnrlr rm ft hieh standard which
will require tireless effort on th part
of his successor to maintain, in una
rnnnectinn it mav not be amiss to
ctata that thu unuld-be sunerinten
dent must have certain qualifications
as required by law. An extract irum
tho nrcB-nn School Laws on the quali
fications of county school superinten
dent reads as follows:
"No person shall be eligible to the
office of county school superintendent
who has not, at the time of his elec
tion nr nnnnintment. been actively
(antra yprl In teaching in the public
schools for a period of not less than
twenty-seven scnool monies, twelve
months nf which shall have been in
tho stato nf flreenn: Drovided. that
experience as city or county school
superintendent shall be construed to
be actual teaching experience. He
must hold a certificate based upon
graduation from a standard normal
school, standard university, or a sum
fiard rnllpe-e. or be the holder of a
life certificate entitling him to teach
in all the grades of the public ele
mRnptarv arhnnls and the Public high
schools of the State of Oregon."
T. 1S1K fhan KS. D. 67.)
As possible successors to Mr. Not
son, the names of S. H. Doak of Lex
ington and his brother, L. A. Doak
of lone, have been prominently men
tioned, as well as Mrs. C W. Shurte,
of Heppner. Any of these three are
no doubt well qualified to fill the po
sition as superintendent of schools.
Mrs. Shurte has been connected with
the schools of Oregon for many years
and is admirably qualified to fill the
position with efficiency as well as dig
nity. It has been said that she is be
ing urged by her many friends to be
come a candidate and she may decide
to enter tlie race.
To the close student of road condi
tions, the boneiits that would accrue
to the public from adoption of the pa
trol system are clearly apparent at
alt seasons of the year. Each season
has its own peculiar road problems,
aud adequate and systematic main
tenance helps to solve them all.
Just now the patrol system would
be of greatest value in keeping up
drainage and preventing the destruc
tion that results when surface water
is diverted from the ditches in which
it should be carried off into the road
bed where it has no business to be.
No doubt every person who travels
the roads at this time of the year
knows of places where with a few
minutes work with a shovel great
HnmneA to the roads could be pre-
onod But under the present sys
tem there is no one whose business
it is to do this small amount 01 wors
at the right time. Consequently de
terioration goes on unchecked and
unduly high .costs for reconstruction
ao. mada naepssarv.
Road taxes are high, and the mon
ey that is raised by taxation lacks a
great deal of going as iar as u ougm
to go, but when the archaic and un-
hDace-lil;o method of road main
tenance that is in operation at the
present time is taken into considera
tion, the wonder is that the taxes are
nnt ovon hieher. They would be but
for the fact that we ao noi get. me
vnfirle WO nil eM to have. We make up
by self-denial for what we ought to
tret v crnnn huslness methods.
J Vl
If any business man manngeu ma
affairs in the way the business of
road maintenance is manageu, u
would soon find himself in the bank
ruptcy court. Take the owner of a
for example. If
he neglected the vital principle of re
pair at the rignt time ana iev uio
rtntidln? en tn rack and ruin he
would soon find it necessary to re
build, and the cost 01 reouuaing
won id take all his profits.
if tho nn h lie roans were m Dnvaie
hands, the patrol system would be
adopted without argument or dis
cussion. The railroads patrol their
tracks incessantly, for they know
thev cannot afford to neglect so lm
ni-tnt nn inn(iiTiv. But the tre
losses that result from lack
of proper maintenance of the public
roads do not airecuy aueci iiuimc
profits. When it oecomes necessary

Sooner or later tne puoiic is gums
to demand its rights. It is going to
insist that the old happy-go-lucky
svstem of building a road and then
fonrettlncr it until it. has to be re
built be abandoned. When that time
comes the road patrol system will be
adopted without lurtner aeiay,
