FORMER MAYOR KlaiUNE SCJIMITZ ol'Snn Fran
cisco, convicted grafter, creature of political and
social corruption, has fathered an effort to recall Mayor
Rolph upon trivial charges.
Jn Jackson county, a disgruntled contractor is making
a clandestine effort to recall the county court upon such
trivial charges that he is ashamed to publish them.
Both instances arc rank abu.se of the recall and tend
to discredit popular government as opening the way for
any disappointed grafter and unsuccessful contractor to
question the honesty and integrity of public officials with
out submitting proof of accusations or furnishing data
justifying such action.
The recall thus becomes a club in ihe hands of tho
grafter seeking spoils and a bludgeon in the hands of the
contractor seeking contracts. ".Submit to our demands or
we will start a recall," is the throat and tho more honest
and efficient tho official the more liable he is to be threat
ened with recall by disgruntled greed.
The local recall is fathered by a contractor who did not
secured desired contracts. Petitions arc being circulated in
the country by disappointed candidates for appointment as
road supervisors or their relatives. The advocates are
those with selfish grievances. No good faith or sincere
desire for betterment of conditions is manifested anywhere
along the lino.
Tlio trivial charges made against tho count v court are
. 1. 1 il 11 j i nit

levies nnd collections for tho years 1913, 10H nnd 1015, Included n levy
of 2 2 mills for road purposos nnd which fund Is constituted n general

Whereas, Seotloti G.I 20, Lord's Oregon Laws, provides for tho distri
bution or expenditures of BO per cent of such funds for 1910 and 191 1
nnd 70 per rent for 1915, within tho particular road districts contribut
ing' such funds, nnd
Whereas, The various rond districts nnd particularly tho Incorporated
cltloft of said Jackson county hnvo been deprived of nnd refused tholr Just
proportion of snld road fund expenditures, Rrcntly to tho detriment of
such Individual rond districts nnd cities, nnd
Whorons, Your pctltloueis hollovo gross oxtrnvnRiinco hns prevailed
In tho expenditure of road funds within mild county of Jackson, therefore
Wo, your petitioners, residents, freeholders nnd taxpayers of said
Jackson county, respectfully petition for tho rocoll of tho members of tho
county court of snld Jnokson county, U:

W. C. Lcevor, Commissioner. , ? I I
V. H. Mndden, commissioner. - -M.-
ns provided In section 18, nitlcle II, Constitution of Oregon, uud Hint a
recall election bo called fnrtwlth for tho purpose of submlttliiR such re
call to tho voters of snld JavVson county.
No proof is offered of those accusations and none can
be offered, as they fire false. There was no road lovy made
in 1J)M and 1!)1.1, but a general lovy made to cover the
budget, with a specified amount for roadwork. Tn this
way the eities that benefit, by tho roads help pay their
cost. The court has lived within its receipts and budget
estimates not spout the general fund upon roads and not
piling up new warrant indebtedness. It has reduced the
county indebtedness $ir)l),()(K) in throe years, and if the
Southern Pacific hud paid the $21(),()U) it owes on the O.
& ( land grant, would have reduced it that much more.
Rut it is not intended to use those alleged discrepancies
as anything but a peg to hang tho recall petitions upon.
Home excuse had to bo offered that would escape tho slan
der laws, and the intention is to back up tho petition by a
campaign ot verbal inuondo and domination to capitalize
tno discontent ol hard tunes and high district and town

this play needs hardly nny announce

plan to go away together, but fate
takes a hand nnd Mary Ann falls heir
