KLAMATH FALLS,
The Herald has atttmpttd to atcure
for Ita raadtra a full discussion and
prtssntatlon of the arguments for and
against the rteall of County Judge
Hanks, but for Masons hist kntwn ie
thcmsslvss the opponents of the coun
ty Judge have not seen fit to take the
public Into their confidence, apparent
ly rslylng en their ptrsonal efforts to
create prejudice and feeling among the
vole re.
The Htrald dose net believe In such
methods. We believe that In all mat.
tare of public Interest the actual facts
on both eldse of the question ehould be
openly presented to the people, relying
on thslr Intelligence to form their own
conclusions. Any question, which haa
to depend for lie euccese or argumenta
that will net stand the fullest publicity
cannot be for the beat Interests of the
public, and ahould be looked upon with
suspicion. We announced that we
were going to print the facte In this
case, expecting, of course, that those
Interested on either aide would furnish
the facte for publication. However,
we Intend to do our duty In the matter,
and will present the situation aa It ap
peare to ue after an honest endeavor
to secure all the Information possible.
We gladly Invite correction of any or
ror wo might make aa wo have no de
sire to misrepresent. The truth la
what the taxpayero are entitled to and
ahould receive.
Mr. Bunnell haa atated In hla plat
form that he will finish the court heuee
on the Hot Springs site. Aa far aa we
know, Mr. Bunnell Ie a representative
cltlten, and would make a food official,
but the question to bo decided at thle
lection, Ie the removal from office of a
man who haa oerved only half hla
term. Criticism of public officiate la
only natural, and seme times la condu
cive of good. It lo also true that no
official waa ever able to pleaee all the
people, and there la no aoeurance that
another man elected In Judge Hanka'
place, would fee able to pleaee a larger
number of people than tho preoent In

ord, and personalities and prejudices
ehould not enter Into the eettlement of
a question ae serious as thle one. In
asmuch as tho main charge against
Judge Hanka eeems to be hie action
on tho court house, It Ie well to consid
er the facta In the case. The oppo
nente of the Judge place much Import
ance on one of tho etatemente In hie
pre-election platform, wherein he
promises to finish the court house on
tho Hot Springs site aa eoon aa possi
ble. Ae we view It, the pre-election
pledge of any official Is not aa Import
ant or vital, aa the fact whether he
hae acted for the best Intereets of the
taxpayer, after election. It must be
conceded that tho majority of tho peo
ple opposing Judge Hank's position on
tho location, of tho eourt house, oppos
ed him when he ran for election, eo
any claim of deception or violation of
pledge on their part Is ridiculous.

GY( COURT HOUSE
Klamath Falls, Ore , April 13, 1918
Editor Evening Herald The Klam
ath Development company representa
tive hero read with surprise the lead
ing article on tho withdrawal of the
Hot 8prlnga site In Friday evening's
Issue, and feel that by It tho Klamath
Development company has been placed
In a false position before the people of
the county. Dellevlng that this waa
unintentional on your part, we hope
that equal space and prominence may
be given In our effort to set the mat
ter stralgnl before tho public. We
will advise that the Klamath Develop
ment company, to tho best of our
knowledge and belief, haa not now nor
has had in the past any Intention of
taking back the court house alte In the
Hot Springs Addition until the people
of the' county have proved beyond all
question that they will have no more
use for It. They do not wish to take
the building or the materials now
thereon as long as there is any pros
pect of the county going ahead with
the now building. It Is tery apparent
to all that the matter Is not definitely
settled at thU time.
Action however taken, we believe, at
the Instance of the county court, In re
moving certain materials from the
building to the site where the new
building haa been commenced, caused
ua to take aome action to bold the
premises aa they were, and on appris
ing' our manager, Mr. W. D. Parker,
now In California, of the eituatlon, he
wired back to enjoin auch proceedings
by demanding the return ot the deed.
It la our understanding that the
county is aa welcome to the Hot
Springs alteaniRne conrfhouae as It
ever haa been, providing It electa to go
ahead and finish the building. From
your article it would appear that the
site waa absolutely withdrawn, and
that there waa now nothing to do but
go ahead with the new building Just
started.
We feel that the County Court or Its
representatives In presenting the mat
ter to you for publication made delib
erate attempt to misrepresent the pol
icy of this company toward the public
of Klamath County, and we also feel
that If at any time there la assurance
that the court house on the Hot
8prlnga alte will be finished the Klam
ath Development company will adhere
to ita original agreement, and deed the
