"I think it only fair to the voters and people Ee'nerallv of Jackson county to give an idea before the pri mary is held as to what my policy would be should I be nominated and elected as county commissioner1 the , opening paragraph of a signed statement which Court Hall has just issued to the public, as follows: I wish it emphatically understood that no politicians, clique, party, nor friends, induced me to run for this office. I am running free and un- trammelcd and without any political or other promises whatever, other than contained in this statement. One of my reasons for making the race for county commissioner is that for several years past I have traveled over all of the different roads in the county, and in my travels while going over a particularly rough piece of road 1 would often say to myself 'if I could I would try and have that' road fixed.' It looked early In the campaign as if no one wanted the office of county commissioner or at least until I filed my candidacy, so I oast my hat Into the ring. There is not a more beautiful val ley in the west than ours. We have the soil and the climato. All that Is needed to bring the homeseeker here is good roads and judicious advertis ing. One's property Is only worth what Is derived from Its Income, or the cash It will sell for. Wo have already this spring had quite a few homeseekers come here and invest in our lands and this has been the means of stimulating land values. If we continue to attract homeseekers the property values will continue stimulated. What helps our farmers helps our cities, or vice versa. Therefore one Is essential to'the other and we must all work together to attain the high est .degree of success. We have no large manufacturing concerns or pay rolls in Jackson county. Notwith standing that fact, our progress the past six months has been something wonderful. Everywhere, one can no tice activity and progress. I mentfon these facts because I think' as ' county commissioner It Is one's duty to be In touch with the progress of the county so as to be better, able to keep pace and serve the best interests of the people. Now about good roads. AH of our cities are takon care of by the Pacific Highway, therefore all the roads to be built from now on will be built in the country. A farmer who votes against a good roads measure now is simply voting against his own inter ests: You are paying taxes that gave the cities and towns good roads. Now thaf the cities and towns are willing, let them pay taxes to give you good roads. Good roads will Increase our taxes, of course, but we will get the money thus paid out back In many ways. '- .We should not vote the county too much in debt, but only enough to con tinue our progression and build good roads just, as fast as our increased wealth will permit. This means tnat Borae good roads should be built each year In our rural districts, and road building should be continued on this basis until all the farmers have good market roads to the different cities and towns. : In the most populated of our dis tricts good road building should be gin just as soon'as the money can be provided. We have other" communi ties where it is almost impossible to pass over the roads during the winter months. Such conditions should be remedied as Boon as possible. -' I am for good roads first, last and all the time. I want to build them Just as fast as bonds are voted and our wealth justifies it. I think the opportune time has come. What has the farmer ever, got by other methods? Supposing you are out $25 per year for taxes on good roads. Don't.you get It hack by time saving and saving wear on vehicles? Besides good roads Increase tbe val uation of your farms. With good roads your farm will become a suburb to tbe cities and towns. Did you ever see a calamity howler get anywhere? Such a person Is a detriment to himself and the commu nity he lives in. A pessimist never wants to do anything. An optimist wants to do something but wants some one else to do it. A peptomlst does something. 1 believe in the pep tomist. I believe a county commissioner can do many little things to help the people and his community outside or his regular routine of business. I believe- a county commissioner should keep close pace with the pro gress of the county! I believe that a-county commission. er should always be willing to give a respectful hearing to any complaints made by the people in their respec tive road districts. I believe that notwithstanding what locality a county commissioner be elected from, he should act for the Interests of the people of whatever district is most In need of help. j believe we should have a better collection and display of Jackson county products at the Chamber of Commerce in Portland, and that we should have an exhibit of our grains, fruits, timber and minerals at the state fair every fall. I have always been an advocate of good roads. It is no late thing vital me, and I pay taxes the same as the rest of you. Remember farmers, that your vote for good roads will help bring to this county new people, more wealth and increase the valuation of your farms. Why? Because today real estate is about the only article worth one hun dred cents on the dollar. And with our climate, southern Oregon is sure to attract the homeseeker. I met a farmer the other day who said: 'I am paying more than double' the taxes that I did fifteen years ago The cities 'are trying to run every thing.' This man Is against advance ment and progress. He wants the good old days 'of twenty years ago when land was worth fifty dollars per acre and . wheat fifty cents per bushel. He lives on tbe Pacific high way and don't want to pay any taxes for other farmers to have good roads. His land is worth three hundred and fifty dollars per acre. He is making more money than he ever made be fore. But he can't appreciate that the live wires in the cities have been putting up money for years to adver tise this county to the homeseeker He don't realize that many people In the cities are paying nearly as much taxes as he, for the privilege of liv ing in their resicence, and the same people are willing to pay more taxes to give the farmer good roads. ' 1 will vote for any measure that 1 think will be- for the good of the county and people. I am for progression always. Now votors, you have my sent! ments. If you approve of them I would appreciate your votes. you disapprove, there are two other candidates, b6th good men, to make a choice from. I do not Intend to make a personal campaign for this office, as the duties of county commissioner are as much as the people should expect without unnlng up extra costs on campaign expenses."
