TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, MAY 11, 19^ OF INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS. Attorney Henderson Highly Com­ plimented County Cierx n°iden tor his Eliiciet S^rvicexn Office. ——o►— At a meeting oi representative citi­ zens at tne Fresbyterian Guild Hall on Monday evening, Attorney J. L. Hendcisor. highly complimented County Clerk J. C. Holden for the manner in which he has faithfully served the public. He said: "lull have just heard read by the President ot this Club Mr. Chester Holden's communication stating that Circuit Court being in session and a case being tried tonight, it would be impossible ioi min to be present, and asking me to reprcr.ent him in a five minutes tab., snow mg why he should be re-elected to the office he now fills, that ot County Clerk. “My business is sdeh that for more than 30 years I have been intimately acquainted with county clerks in their official capacity in the county offices in four counties in Oregon, one in Vv ashington and two in .uissippippi. For lour years t have sat, as you might say, side by side with Chester Holden, almost every working day during that time. Ann the experience 1 nave had in my abstract business, I winch brings me into contact with all the difierent lines ol the County Clerk s duties. 1 iecl myself compe­ tent to judge as to a County Clerk s qualifications. 1 want to say right here, oi all the County Clerks ollices in which 1 nave labored during the i pa?t »b years, Chester Holden s .ot nee is the best Kept, and more work , is done, and well uone, and with less expense ill proportion to the work re­ quired to be done, Ilian in any other County Clerks oince -oi the ones ■ mentioned, r do not believe there is i another man in the county that can 1111 ms place so well, and with such ' good to tne public, as he can lumseli. j “His office is the only otnee in the I County that is sell sustaining, and , more, the money mat hi otiice takes ‘ in in lees pays all its expense oi main­ tenance, ano leaves a substantial sur- I plus to the credit of the county, which , helps reduce the taxes. All county I mattcis begin and ent^in the office oi the County Clerk. In fact this otlicc : might be called the County's “back | bone.” Chester Holden and lus clerks besides being efficient, are courteous and attentive to all who have any Lusiness with the office, and are nev­ er too busy or too tired to give every­ one quick and smiling service. Now, 1 my lnetids, we do not want any oi the candidates for the several ollices lor which they are aspirants, to get it into their heads that we are ‘stuck’ on them, and that they are the only ones who can till the jobs, or that the jobs were made for them. Wc want them all to understand that we pul them into oflice as public ser­ vants, to work for the public welfare, and in deciding whom we will put in­ to any office, the clerk's for instance, wc should decide upon the one who will give to the public the most for the money, the one who will serve the people best and attain the best results We should lay aside all personal feel-- ing in the matter, and though our own brother were a candidate, vote against him and for the other fellow if the other fellow will make the best public servant. In the State of Miss­ issippi , where I lived and worked at my abstract business for 6 years, the people adopted a new constitution. It had been the custom before its ad­ option to re-elect competent officers •ver and over again, and especially the clerk of the county. A new law went into effect thereafter, that no county officer could succeed himself, ; except the clerk. I worked in the of- I fices of the clerks at both Harrison and Hancock counties. The clerk in the former county held his office for *0 consecutive years, and the clerk in Hancock was still in office, and he was clerk 8 or 10 years before 1891. There must be a good reason for this. The reason is that it takes years to make a competent clerk, as is Chester Holden, and this education costs the taxpayers money. Then why change? No argument I have heard against* re-electing Chester Holden is used, except he has had the office long enough; and if what I have said ¡3 true, and I do no* think it can be re­ futed. tlx argument is a very poor­ one from a public welfare outlook, Hence my advice is, retain a good man as long at it is for the people’s interest.” I — Double Gold Bond Trading Stamps given with every Cash Pur- chase on Friday s. — Full Books Redeemed for $2.00 in ‘Cash or $2.50 in ^Merchandise. —All zj/Mai!
