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.

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.”

"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.
