WANTED, A PUTTY JUDGE
One that Won’t Balk
Squirm Preferred.
M. F. LEACH,
His Sterliug Record.
or
The H eadlight man has taken little
part in the primary nominating election,
as it is an election “of the people, by the
people, and for the people,’’ nor has he
indulged in any personalities and mud­
slinging, the same as some of the can­
didates and newspapers of the county
did. But there is one thing he wishes to
call attention to, and that is to the effort
to boost a “Putty Man’’ for a “Puttv
County Judge.” And to prove Jwhat he
wants to make plain, he will have to
republish that famous contract which
County fudge Conder unwittingly signed
and which saddled an extra expense, or
“graft” if you prefer to call it by that
name, upon the county for doing the
work for which District Attorney McNary
and Sheriff Woolfe arc drawing salaries.
There was no necessity to emply some­
body else to do these officers work, and
in that way put the county to ext»-a ex­
pense, which will ultimately come out of
the pockets of the taxpayers Read the
famous contract, Here it is :
“It is hereby agreed by and I etween
Tillamook County, Oregon, and the law
firm ot Handley & Thaver, shall as attor­
neys for Tillamook County, Oregon, im­
mediately commence to enforce by all
necessary and practicable legal process
nil claims which the said county has
against anyone bv reason ot the delin
quency of H II. Aiderman, late sheriff
and exoffiicio tax collector of said coun­
ty, and by reason of any illegal compro­
mise ol taxes heretofore made with any­
one, and by reason of any other delin­
quency on the part of imy person liable
to the said county on any account and
anall diligently prosecute the same to a
determination ;
“Provided no suit or action in the
courts shall be instituted without the
sanction ot the County Judge ol
county, and the said Handley & Thaver
shall receive as compromise for services,
five per cent of
delinquency of
said H. H. Alderman, secured by tax col
lector's bonds it the same is made with
out legal process, it with legal process 10
per cent thereon ;
“Twenty-five per eent of all sums made
oil account of the aforesaid sheriff and
tax collector’s delinquency, in excess of
the aforesaid $1,600; and 40 per cent on
till sums made on anv < ther claim due
the s iid eounty ; a retainer of $100 to
be paid on the execution ot this contract.
“Executed in duplicate.
•Witness our hands this 7th day of
September, 1904
’ l ii.i-AMooK C ounty , O regon ,
“By W.W < oniier , (?ountv Judge.
“H andley & T hayer ”
Neither Commissioner Bodvtelt nor
Commissioner Loe r pa be I saw or read
this contract until it was published in
the Headlight, and this came about as
the result of Handley & Thayer sending
out duns to those who were delinquent
with their taxes, nnd in answer to an
inquiry as to their authority ami power
to run the sheriff *s office, wc published
the above contract.
Just refer to another specification in
the contract. It is this ; “Provided no
Nuit or action in the courts shall be insti.
tilted without the sanction of the county
judge of said county.” This means that
Judge Conder was the “whole thing,” !
hate the “whole say,” and that Com­
missioners Bodyfelt and Loerpabel have
“no say,” simply shut out from having
“anv say,” in the matter, yet they arc
members ol the county court. But the
fiinnv part ot the business is that in the
three foolish suits which were brought
against Mrs. Alderman ami the still
more foolish suit which was brought
against Homer Mason, nil of which the
county lost and had to pav the costs ot
the suits, the commissioners have to
allow the bills and the taxpayers have
to loot the costs As long as the tax­
payers don’t object to doing so and tins
system of “graft,” it will continue.
Now as to the point we want to im­
press upon the taxpayers and something
tor them to talk and think over before
they cast their votes next week.
As Judge Conder will be out of office
when the Alderman affiir is settled and
the bill for ' compromise’* is presented
tor payment, as specified in the above
contract, it will never do to have a
county judge who is balky and refuse to
allow the bill, consequentv. what is the
next move is to get a Putty County
Judge, one who will d<t as he is told
and won’t balk when it comes tn taking
motley out ol the county treasury to
piy a fit m of nttoruexs a lot ol m.mev
tor doing the work of the district nttor
nvy ami the sheriff, which is n double ex*
pciise to the t ixp ivers. or, in popular
parlance, is called “Public Graft I”
It the taxpayers of Tillamook want a
Putty County Judge they can get him.
But don't *<|uum when thegrafteisget in
t ivir work. That is all. Vote as you
please.
I
Tbit is a fact that the farmers and
struggling home owners cf Oregon
should reflect u|>on. During the eight,
een years that Hon. John H. Aitkin has
been at the head of two of the largest
commercial institutions of Oregon and
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
passed through his hands, he has never
yet foreclosed a mortgage. His bank
has advanced money to needy settlers,
and the company of which he is presi­
dent has given them hlx-ral credit until
they could improve their little ranches
and get solidly on their feet. Many oj
them have been delinquent in their pay­
ments of interest and principal ; many
failed to meet their bills until long after
they were due. But to the lasting cred
it of Mr. Aitkin it can be said that he
has never forclosed a mortgage nor fore
ed a man into bankruptcy. This is pret­
ty good record when it becomes a ques
tion of voting for such a man for an i>n
portant state office. Mr. Aitkin is now
a candidate before the republican pri­
maries for the important office of Treas­
urer of Oregon. The struggling farmer
should carefully consider if it is not a
good plan to trust with high public of
fice one who has always proven so
loyal and faithful to his own neighbors.

Jonathan Bourne.
Jonathan Bourne is adveitisimt for
votes in Benton county, lie wants to
be United States Senator Ir will be a
very sb in support that lie will corral
Benton Republicans,
Their
recollect on of Mr Bourne is that lie
was the chief conspirator in concocting
a very expensive hold-up legislature,
seven or eight years ago. Because he
could not get a majority of the repre.
sentalives to support him. for speaker
of the lower house, lie formed a com­
bination to prevent organisation of that
body. Allied with iidhienct*« hostile ro
Mitchell, who w is then a candidate for
senator, he pievented the organ's*tion
of the house, and through forty long
days there was the humiliating sp*c-
tacle at Salem of a senate in session at
legislative hors^plav, with members of
the lower house in hopeless and dis
graceful disorganisation. It was the
most disgraceful episode in the history
of the state, I*cause revolutionary in
principle mid anarchistic in execution.
It was a proceeding wholly indefensible
ami completely unpardonable. In the
premises, Mr. Bourne was more guilty
than the rest, l>crauae by reason of his
money and hie brains, more powerful.
He w ill get small comfort from Benton
Republicans, who are themselves order­
ly, and theiefore entirely unwilling to
honor a man who has l*een as disorderly
as has Mr. Bourne. In this race for
Senator Ills public record ought to l»e,
and is, his undoing.—Corvallis Gasette.
