MR. MARX'S MATHEMATICAL
MIRACLE AND THE ANSWER
AT a political meeting hold at Mt. Lakl, Haturday night, William Marx,
wllo was a candidate tor district attorney at thn primaries last
spring nnd was defeated by 0, C. Drawer, made certain statements
and gavo out certain flguros that aro answared below. Ills spoach was
reported for The Herald by William Uanong, olnclal court roportar, and
those who heard him will rocognlzo tho accuracy of Mr. Oanong's work.
No attempt hus been mnda to cut out repetitions a common fault with
nil stiefi'kers so that Just what ho said wilt bo roproduccd In tho ono
'adjoining.
Mr. Marx:
Owing to tho time limit placed
upon tho speakers, I will try to be
as brief as I possibly can In telling
you what I have to say regarding
tho local Issues. ,
You uro fully acquainted, no
doubt, with tho court houno situa
tion, probably moro so than I am,
and I will for that reason not
dwelt upon that situation at great
longtb. Our figures In so far as
thn Dougan court houso aro con
corned are disputed by Mr. Murray
In his dally editorials. Ho denies
that tho -Dougan court houso will
cost tho taxpayers $303,000 and
soma few hundred thrown In. We
will pass over that for thu time
being. I merely wnnt to draw your
further attention to what our coun-
,y enml h, fcy ,,,,, todo for ui
since It lias been in ollice.
Asldo from tha court houso ques
Hon and tho figures that I am go
Ing to read to you kttf taken from
tha public records, which I nm
sure Mr. Murray will not bl ablo to
deny. Theso aro tho figures as
they aro recorded by nn export aud
itor and accountant who audited
tho county books.
On December 31, 1017, thn. audit
hows that this county had re
sources of $413,925.38. Our lla
bllltlcs woro $445,073. Our war
rant Indebtedness was $300, (73.31
and tho Interest we were paying
was S67.000, That was under the
Hanks administration; ,
Mr. Ilunnell went la offlco April
35. 1918. December 31. 1118, the
audit showed that our resources
were 1510,000. an Increase ot over
lioo.ooo "In eight months. 0
liabilities were reduced from 44S",
000 to 1346,000, or Instead of a
deficit which the audit of Decem
ber 21, 1917. shows, a deficit of
131,748. Mr. Bunnell's administra
tion showed tbst from a deficit of
$31,748 to a surplus of $184,378.12
In tho short period of right months.
Let Mr. Muray deny that.
December 31, 1919, the audit
shows resources ot $707,910 and
liabilities $416, SIS. 46. a surplus of
$391,090.66 In tho short period
that Mr. Ilunnell has been In of
flco. n llltlo over two years. Tho
deficit waa changed from $31,748
to a surplus of $291,030. I ask
you whother I hut Is good business
administration or whether !
1 ask you whether Mr. Chastaln
and Mr. Peterson can do any hot
ter. If so, elect them. Let Mr.
Murray deny that that surplus Is
In the treasury.
Ho does deny It. Ho tries to
mnko you bellavo that part of the
$291,000 Is borrowed money to tho
tuna of $350,000 by reason of tha
sale of road bonds. That Is an ab
soluto falsehood. When theso flg
uros wore compiled that money was
not in tho treasury and will chul
lengo Mr. Murray or anybody else
'to show that It was. Thero was
a fraction of that money, ubout
one-third, nnd not any more.
Let us show what elso tho county
court has done for you. Under tho
Hanks administration your tax was
27.7 mills. Under Mr. llunnoll's
that has been steadily reduced to
24.8 mills, a reduction ot almost
threo mills on tho tax levy. Lot
Mr. Murray In his grand nnd glor
ious paper deny that also If you
pleaso.
Now then, whon Murray attacks
us furthor, ho asks us In his edi
torial this: Why do we Include
$92,000 which wo claim It will cost
the tax payor If we accept the
Dougan building at this tlmo. Note
our figures otthe cost. Wo claim
It will cost $383,000. We Include
$92,000 which wo will have to pay
to Deugan and so we. will have to
pay that to Dougan It wo accept the
building now as Chastaln and Pet
erson promise to.
They say they, will move In di
rectly thoy are elected. That will
constltuto an acceptance of the
building on the part of the county
and the case In the supromo court
will 1 slide out on the skids they
tried to put undor It. That was
the first thing they tried to do'be
foro they arguod it tried to get
It out of there and aend it back to
the circuit court for trial. Why?
Decauae they clalm.od and tried to
make the supreme court believe
that the county had accepted it be-
r
(Continued to Page 4)
Answer:
l.ct us toll you how Mr. Marx has
undertaken to foot tho votors. His
statement that tbo liabilities ot tho
county on December 31, 1917 were
$4 45,673 Is correct. How docs ho get
ths grout gain mado during tha olght
months of 1818? Simply by placing
a valuation of $105,915.12 on tbo
Hot Springs grounds and building.
This offset was not Included In tbo
figures of December 31, 1917. Is
that not a downright attempt to fool
tho puoplo who are not In a position
to compare figures as ha glibly rat
tles thorn olfT In addition to this
piece ot deception, Mr. Maris failed
to' toll his hcurcra that $48,351.00
ot this "surplus ' was money Invest
ed In tho Main street courthouso by
Hunks, and which sum was not In
cluded In tho resources" of tbo coun
ty In tho Ducotnbor 31, 1917 report.
Add to this about $lu,vuu in other
Horns not lnr.ij d In tho 1917 re
port and the Wonderful "surplus"
melts Into a deficit ot $39,888, as
against a doflclt ot $31,748 4bo year
before. Now, wo dot't hold this
against tho Dunnell administration,
for .the reason that tho lovy was
made, the taxes collected and the
funds apportioned by Hanks before
Ilunnell went Into .office. You see, It
Is just a plain caso ot trying to fool
tho voter.
This Incrcaso In resources Is due
to tho $3(8,923.29 In the hands ot
tha county treasurer. $94,280.64 of
this Is money remaining of the cash
raised by the salo of road bonds and
these bonds stand as s liability. Is
ithat telling you tho truth? In addi
tion Mr. Mans Includes $105,173.52
belonging to special funds and this
money cannot be counted as a re
source ot the county. Then why did
he undertake to tell the people this?
Was It because he wanted to enlight
en them or fool them? He thought
he would not be checked up. Here
are the figures In cold type. Com'
pare them with tto records. They
are just the figures Mr Marx quot
cd, Tiut he misrepresented them.
That Is the difference. What Mr.
Marxs should have told you Is this:
On December 31, 1917, the county
owed principal und Interest, $367,-
737.63. On December 31, 1919, tho
county owed $202,503.20. On tho two
years tho Indebtedness was reduced
$165,234.33. The reduction for 1918
was provided for by Hanks; that ot
1919 by Bunnell, and both of them
followed tho advice and suggestion ot
mon better posted than either of
thom. Tho only credit either Is en
tlttod to Is that tho money was not
squandered, and wo bolleve no one
will accuse either ot being guilty df
waste.
It this Is "an absolute falsehood."
how does ho account for his admis
sion that ".thero wus a fraction of
that monoy, about one-third, und not
any more." The facts aro that $94,
280.64 ot tho $350,000 realized from
tho kulo ot bonds "was Included In tho
ota I Now. who "te telling tho false-, !"7nt "RJne?" When ho f,cr' ,l
k,.V. u inrv !, i, .nv. theiwaV tc-eBgage In tho manufacture
money was not lu tho treasury; or
Mr. Marx when he says ono third
ot It was?
Why didn't ho tell about tho In
Increase In valuation. Under tha
Hanks administration tho valuation
ot the county was $16,201,233.69.
The Hanks levy raised $497,408.57.
Under Ilunnell tho valuation was
$17,385,222. Ills levy raised $524,
158.58. lloth levies wero 25 mills.
Any iran can cut the levy In two If
he will raise tho valuation. That re
quires no legal mind or luftthcmu
tlclan to point that out. Hut It docs
take a legal qulbbler to have brass
onough to fool the people with just
such arguments as these. Have you
ever seen such twisted flguros In
this jjapcr?
It tbls contract Is an Illegal con
tract the county-will not havo to pay
a dollar, whether It occupies the
Main street building, or the. one on
the Hot Springs site. It It is legal,
the county will havo to pay no mat
ter what Bunnell, Short or anyoue
also says. Our contention Is this: If
we do not hare to pay for the Main
street building, -w get it for noth
ing and the men who built it uro
punished for their faith in building
it. It we do have to pay for It. we
will be compelled to do so whether
we want to or not. If we spend $200,
000 on-the Hot Springs building and
hare to par for the Main street
building, we' lose just that much. On
tho other bam. It two soil the He

SUSPENDED OT
APPOINTED
UPP RESIGNS
FROM COUNCIL
PISS EIRE LAWS
Tho city council met lost night in
its first regular meeting slnca Sep
tember 4th. The feature of the even
ing's business was the resignation ot
Councilman Frank M. Upp ot the sec
ond ward who nandod In his resigna
tion with the request that It take ef
fect at once. There was no discus
sion by the council ot the resignation
and it was accepted prompetly by a
unanimous vote. This gives Mayor
Strublo an opportunity to replace
Councilman Upp with an appointee
of his own, but considering the fact
that there are only two months (eft
of tbo unexpired term It Is thdaght
that tho, mayor will not make any
new appointment
Inasmuch as this was the first
meeting of the council since the re
port ot the state fire marshal on the
recent flro calamity here, it was nat
urally the main topic ot discussion
and the x 'olo evening's work re
volved c .or less around the mat
ter. Th'rcport of tho fire marshal
was read In open forum and com
mented upon back and forth by dif
ferent members ot the council and
also by tbo city attorney who waa
present throughout the meeting.
Some of the comments mado upon
parts of the report were not nrlthout
their clement of humor and sarcasm.
In addition to state tire marshal's
report a leagthy letter from the Ore
gon Insurance Rating t: uresu at
-Portland was read for the Informa
tion of the council. This letter,
which was purely ot a voluntary na
ture and unofficial, went Into the
history ot fire protection In Klamath
Falls and reviewed events from the
beginning up to the time of the
Houston hotel fire. Emphatic pretest
was made against what the bareaa
seemed to think was alasost trltss
leal negligence on the part of the
city for not having kept abreast of
local progress la the matter of pro
pec tire protection anal -also alleged
negligence in not having the proper
st3-eeUnaneest for Us legulatt a.
rote lewerwjwe wnu in in i
ly fpirltaad with the evident desire
to help remedy these conditions, was
drastic In Its language and of & na
ture to make the city ''alt up and
take notice."
All ot the ordinances which were
recontly submitted br the state fire
marshal's office as having to do with
the proper handling of this vital mat
ter were given their final reading
and adopted by a unanimous vote. A
slight exception was taken In the
case of the ordinance which requires
that .all persons having more than
flvo gallons ot gasoline must keep It
burled beneath the ground. This or
dinance was modified to the etent
that a person may not be prosecuted
for keeping any amount ot gasoline
In a manner not in conflict with the
regulation of the national board ot
fire underwriters. It was pointed out
that the national board of under
writers do not require that all gaso
line In amounts over five gallons be
burled and Inasmuch as an ordinance
such as the one submitted would
work a hardship upon the owner ot
a small garage while tho big corpor
ation would very likely not be forced
to put tholr mamoth tanks under
ground, it was thought wise to
amend the ordinance as stated.
Tho entire meeting was thoroughly
business like and everything was
acted upon with dispatch. The mayor
showed a disposition to act in har
mony with the council and the coun
cil evidenced a like spirit of co-operation.
While It is true that the
state tire marshal's roport was some
what ot a reflection upon the city
administration and was qulto harsh
In Its use ot language, the mayor
and council showed an eagerness to
comply Just as fast as possible with
all ot. the suggestions therein and In
that way rectify any mistakes ot the
past.
Tho ordinance permitting cars to
park on Main street between tho
hours of 6 a. m. and 1 a, m. was,
passed by a vote of three to one,,
Councilman Upp voting no. This or
dinance permits a car to remain on
the Main street for a period of 19
hours at a stretch. It was n mattor
of groat Interest to the local jitney
drivers and they rwere practically all
in attendance at the meeting to
learn the fate ot the ordinance.
Mayor Struble went on record as be
ing opposed to the ordinance, saying
