WHY EARL FEHL F Sheriff Explains Why County Judge Candidate Deserted Band Wagon Attempt to 'Fix' Primary, Related To th Bdltor: I bra been ukM reputedly why I did not nply to the many aoouea tlons Mr. Barl Fehl, candidate for county judge or li It ehertff? nd and I have replied that I did not want to get Into an; tiresome, end leu controversy with htm, (or I (eel that the thlnklnf people or Urn county reellte that Mr, Fehl la Juit down on the world In general and that not a grand Jury, apeelal Jury, regular Jury, Judge, court or official, both elty or county, haa eecaped hla tongue. I have no wish now or later to enter Into a useless, ceaseless aquabble, but there are a (ew thing I would like to know. Up until after the Parr verdict, Fehl waa friendly or at leaat seemed to be, insofar aa he la capable to me. In fact, during the trial he made the atatement on the wltneaa land that he had the htgheit reipeot for me and my boya. He alao talked to me about having one o( my dep utlea run on the Republican ticket auggeatlng that ahe would get the nomination and then make no cam paign and I would be elected. When I aald that there waa no time to cir culate petition! he aaut that he would pay the $30 filing fee. I am not at tempting to dlacredlt Mr. Fehl In hla race (or county Judge, aa I am and alwaya have been an advocate of a clean, decent campaign and ready to atand on my record and my qualifi cation!. Mr. Fehl becama angered became I cloaed hla place of business the Pacific ReooM-Herald when he knew that that wae one of the dutlea of my office and I had no choice In the matter. After the verdict in the Parr ease he waa given a ten day atay of eweutlon and Immediately attempted to tranafer hla property which waa the reason that the atay of execution waa cancelled and an elocution or dered to take effect at one. Thla I waa called upon to aerv and I there upon followed Inatructlona of the at torney aa I do in all legal mattera. I waa liable under my bond If theae lnatruotlona were not carried out. The attorney atated at that time that It muat be done on Saurday to overcome the poaalblllty of the ma chinery being moved on Sunday. When I went to Fehl'a establish ment to levy the execution accord ing to my Inatructlona, Fehl, for aome unknown reason, blamed me for the whole affair and made the following threat, "Ralph Jennlngi, you are not re-elected yet, and if I can prevent It, you never will be," Aa for the prohibition fund re garding which he ranta 110 much he knowa that thla. (und la ohecked by every grand Jury en aurely be wouldnt' Intimate that every one on every grand Jury is crooked. Thla fund haa been the cauae of more con troversy and trouble than any other of the dutlea ot my office, but the manner of handling It la prescribed by law and It cannot be avoided. Alao the prohibition work haa not coat the taxpayer! of thla county one penny (or It la made up of flnea largely taken from profeaalonal boot leggera and atlll ownera. Each year an amount averaging around S3.0O0, over and above enforcement ooata, In turned over to the general (und of the oounty, which doea not happen In many counties of thla etate. Aa I have atated before through the preas, the aum of ai.9e.07 referred to so often by Fehl represents (he ex penditures ot four months, covered by 45 vouchers. I have spent the last eeven years at this Job and I am confronted with new problems every day, I am wondering how many fully resiles the many details of thl office. Dur ing the year test, the aum of 1,393,. SIS.SS waa collected In the tax de partment. All aggregation of funds Into school districts, cltlea and Irri gation districts are made In thla de partment, about 35.000 tax receipts are written and last year over 6000 delinquent notices were cent aout. Previoua to my entering office In Itll a force of four deputies waa kept In the tax department all aum mer, while we are now getting along with one. We have alao devised a ayatem by which the tax recelpta are written by three girls Instead of alx aa waa formerly needed. There haa been no Increase In the force In the legal department In eplte ot the fact that the work haa trebled In the last 10 years. There are many who do not know that every animal aold to a butcher muat carry a tag, and we wait on an aver age of 15 persona a day for this evtrvlce alone. Ivery one eelllng more than 10 chickens or turkeye muet procure a tag. The automobile li cense work haa Increased from esj,. 380.05 in 1935 to aiia.o0.84 In 1031, and during that time many new laws, such as the title law, have been enacted making far more work. Dur ing the year 1033, 108 legal papers of various kinds (chattel liens, writs, summons, executions, aubpoenaa, etc.) were aerved, while In 1031 there were lTi cases. Upon thla office alao (alia the ser vice of Jury aummona, the making of deeds, delivering of ballot boxea and the checking of polling plax In 1033 there waa no collection ol unsecured personal tax through the legal department and In the year 1081. the amount collected waa via 8 33. I have been eeneored for having my boya work for me. I conalder them my greatest asset They tend atnetly to business, have my best Interest at heart and I know that I can trust them. I believe that any attorney In thla county will un hesitatingly recommend them. At the present time I collect In Jltlgsnte In court when I serve ps pare, mileage at (he rate of 10 eenta per mile, one-halt of the mUe ege (eea so collected goea Into the general county fund and I receive only five cents per mile for cara used In this service. In 1833 the eum of 8504.10 waa turned over to the county general (und (or mileage feee collected from litigants, and In 181 the aum of 81805.75 waa turned over to the county for that Item. In 1033 the budget called for 818. 888 and 830,807.88 waa spent. In 1031 the budget called for en.. 418, and 818.033.08 waa spent. I have tried to build up an effic ient, economical, capable organisa tion and thla la not accomplished In one day or one year. I will admit that we have made mistakes, but we have profited by them. My office force haa alwaya worked In harmony and we have attempted to give cour teous, quick service and I have tried pereonally to work for the good of all. If re-elected I cannot promise more than X have promlaed before and glven-my best effort In an en deavor to give you an honest, effic ient administration. RALPH JBNMNaS. Medford. May 9.
