COUNTY COURT HOLDS
UP BERRIDGE BILL
Some Doubt As to States Right
to Make Bills which County
Must Pay

No action was taken by the county
court yesterday in the matter of the
claim of Arthur Berridge & Co. for ex.
porting the books of this county at a
cost of $l523.ll though Mr. Berridge
was present to press his claim. Mr..
Berridge says he is being made the
"goat" because the county courts of
four counties resent the actions of In
surance Commissioner Ferguson. He
says his accountants did all of the work
according to the schedule of items pre-
pared by Mr.. Ferguson and that his
men had no choice in the matter but
to follow the instructions of the state
department. Then when the work took
longer than has been the custom in the
past the county courts object to pay
ing the bill incurred by the state.
The county courts are striking at Mr..
Ferguson, he says, but he is being hit,
because he has paid his accountants
and is also paying interest on borrow
ed money while his bill is being held
up. Mr.. Berridge says that the bills
are undoubtedly higher this year than
ever before and that they will be in
the future because Mr.. Ferguson, in en-
deavoring to introduce a uniform sys-
tenn of accounting in all of the counties
of the state and considerable back
work was necessary to bring the audits
to date.
He says he is the innocent bystander
who is being hit by the verbal bombs
flying between county courts and the
insurance commissioner and his pocket.

unpopular law.

CHRISTMAS SEASON
MAKES LIGHT VOTING
Miss Fugate Leads by l3,3Ol
BaIlOts---0nly Two More
Weeks of Contest

The highest vote in number of
weeks was shown this morning when
the regular semi-weekly count of bal
lots was made in the Capital Journal s
Panama exposition contest. Miss Ruth
Fugate, by a vote of G4,212, passed
from second to first place, and Mrs.
Grace Eoff Hibbler dropped back to
second Miss Pearl Zinn remaining
third. The only other change in the
standing of contestants was that of
Violet NJ. Barker, who now has S,513,
gain of 1866.
The light vote of this morning is a
result of the over-reaching influence
of the Christmas holiday demands on
time and attention and is by no means
indicative Of lack of interest in the
struggle for the journal prize. On the
other hand it is merely the lull before
the storm, and as but two weeks more
remain until the final canvass of votes,
it is certain that from now on they
will come in avalanches and that the
figures of the leading candidates will
grow by leaps and bounds.
The trip to the great exposition with
its wealth of worldwide wonders, will
be the event of a lifetime for the
fortunate winner, and the Capital
journal guarantees that no expense will
be spared in making pleasant one.
First class railroad fare, the best OF
hotel accommodation, and facilities for
seeng the great fair at its best will be
provided free of all charge by this
paper. 1t will be prize well worth
working for.
The plan adopted by this paper for
giving the trip does not require the con.
testant to sell anything, The only thing
necessary to secure votes being to pa.
tronize some of Salem s most popular
stores. The advertisements of these
firms is run in each Fridays Capital
journal. These firms have agreed to
give a sales check or receipt to every
purchaser for cash or for monthly bills
paid until January |, 1915. The sales
checks or receipts from these firms may
be exchanged for votes at this Office
