Using the Recall.

In Oregon a judge and county com
missioner in Clackamas county were
recalled recently. because the two of
ficials had made a practice of letting
big contracts for public work to pet"
companies, without calling for bids.
and because of other acts of mlsman-
aging the public funds,
During the recall campaign the two
officials declared they mad been acting
within the letter of the law, and pro-
tested the honesty Of their intentions
The people listened to their explana-
tions-and then decided that while
perhaps the two men had kept within
the letter of the law they had violated
it's spirit, had abused their trust and
had wasted the public moneys. Hence,
without wishing to indict the two Off
GERS, they desired to discharge them
It's handy thing to have the recall
power over public officials. Sometimes
it is needed.
