r GRESHAM OUTLOOK A. A. MUCK PICNIC PARTY ENDS IN JUSTICE S COURT COUNTY COMMISSIONER A part; of Gresham people, among them Gu; Jones and Hayden Hiatt went down to the Columbia river Sunday for a picnic and the picnic ended in Justice Brown's office. Young H iatt was in a boat, so it is said, when the owner of the bokt and farm. Chas. Fitzgerald, ordered him out. A rather hot argument result ed and the language which Mr. Fitz gerald used was not the “soft answer that turneth away wrath" according to witnesses and Mr. Jones stepped up and requested that the language be modified. When asked who and what he was, Mr. Jones produced his deputy sheriff’s star but th e farmer had become so angry that the sight of the star didn’t calm him down and during the argum ent, Fitzgerald knocked Jones down. Mr. Jones then had him arrested on the charge of resisting an officer and the case was tried out in Justice of Peace Brown’s office. Mr. Fitzgerald was fined >10 and by that tim e everybody felt a little better and they shook hands and left all hard feelings in Brown’s office. FOR K E -F L tX T IO N R epublican P rim aries. May 21. A. A. Muck recently announced his candidacy for renominatlon as county com m issioner on the republi can ticket. He has served one term as a member of the board of county commissioners, having been elected in 191$. Basing his candidacy for renominatlon on the claim that he has given all his tim e and attention to his official duties, Mr. Muck points to the fact that he has attended ev ery m eeting of the county board but one during his term of office. Prior to assuming his present duties, Mr. Muck, who has resided in Portland with his family for 17 years, served a term as president of the St. Johns city council and two terms as mayor of St. Johns, being the incumbent of that office when St. Johns was merged with Portland. Commissioner Muck’s activities during the war gained him consid erable prominence. He organised the territory north of Fremont street for the war savings stamp drive and had full charge of that drive in Multnomah county outside of Port land. He participated as a district leader in all of the Red Cross drives and in three of the liberty loan cam paigns. In two of the liberty loan drives he had charge of all territory in Multnomah county outside of Portland. Mr. Muck’s declaration of candi dacy is as follows: "If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of office, favor and enforce one hundred per cent Americanism in all departments of county governm ent; favor the de velopm ent of the budget system so that the people will be fully informed in regard to ezpendltures; devote my entire tim e to the office, as in the past; continue to discharge my du ties with efficiency, courtesy and economy; keep my office door open, as I have since I became county com missioner, so that people having business with me may consult me without delay; favor reduction of cost of governm ent by consolidation of conflicting activities; favor home labor and home products; favor en forcem ent of law .” His slogan is: "Present county com m issioner; always on the job; continued good service.” (Paid Adv.) 151 X BURTON, A.

"The State Highway Commission is not asking for more money,” said K. A. Booth, commissioner, in ad dressing a Lane county audience on the 4 per cent road bond lim it meas ure; "all we want is the power to capitalize the income now on hand. The state road funds are now taken from two sources— the one cent tax on each gallon of gasoline and the autom obile license fees. The state constitution, as it now reads, pro hibits more than two per cent being put into the roads, and what the commission wants is an amendment of this clause so four per cent can be put into the roads. A direct addi tional tax is not asked for, nor is any increase in the gas tax or auto license fees.” Mr. Booth also brought out that “a new road program is not to be rushed through, but the present one is to be finished providing the voters of Oregon back up the four per cent lim it m easure.” Commissioner Simon Benson is also on record against rushing con struction too rapidly, considering high labor costs and the high cost of money, but favors ratification of this four per cent bonding amend ment so there will be authorization to issue bonds at such times as favor able conditions Justify. Final con trol over actual bond authorization rests with the legislature, as unless the legislature passes enabling legis lation under the four per cent amendment, the highway commission is without authority to issue bonds. ¿LEADERS 9S / ’a / K / r a p HE first essential of paint is to preserve.
