The Herald knows hat the editor of the

not believe that he would be guilty know

The Proposed Recall.

The plan to recall the county com
missioners court of Polk county may
have a salutary effect in disclosing
some of the fallacies which are ap-
parent in the recall amendment as il
is now found in the organic law OF
the state. 1t appears indisputable
that the proposed recall is backed by
disgruntled faction that is playing
politics against efficiency, and revenge
against the public veal. The charges
against the court have the SAVIOR of
sectional feeling, and are permeated
with spleen In addition they con
tain statements which have been com
pletely repudiated by friends of the
court and have been denounced as
false by men who first favored the
recall movement.
Under the present election machin-
cry ii is much too easy to initiate a
movement to recall public officers.
Personal venom and spite may actu-
ate such movements to the utter dis
regard of the common welfare of the
people. Efficient officials may be at
tackled in scurrilous documents that
parade under the title of "recall pc
titions' and official competency may
be derided by nincompoops.
Some safeguards should be thrown
about recall petitions, Public oflic-
ials should be free from attacks Of
malice, venom and spite. If a public
official is incompetent, inefficient, neg
ligent or venal he should be removed.
Until he is, he should be allowed to
continue in his efforts to do his duty,
even though those efforts are some
times painful to small minority. As
the recall law stands today it is pos
sible for any minority to institute re-
call petitions The primary law rec
ognizes no party that fails to have %
per cent of the vote at the last pre-
ceding election. The recall amend
ment allows a petition to be filed
when it is signed by % per cent of
the voters. 1t is easy to catch the
analogy. The recall amendment was
framed purposely. on the face of it,
to allow the vote of the minority par
ty to worry the successful party. The
recall in theory is correct Far be it
from us to attack it. But its machin-
cry, as at present constituted, gives
leeway to jobbery and places a prem
ium on skulduggery.-Salem Messen-
ger.

A plank on the bridge over the
mill-race broke yesterday under the
weight of the horse that draws the
Dallas steam laundry wagon and the
animal turned completely over, break
ing a shaft and giving X. N. Wood
in the seat, severe case of heart
palpitation. The driver recovered
soon enough. however, to express a
glowing opinion of the person respon-
sible for the condition of the mill
race bridge and to thank his lucky
star that more damage had not re-
suited. Seeing that the palpitation
would not result fatally friend took
occasion to ask Mr.. Wood the signifi-
cance of the white trousers with
which he is adorned in working hours.
"Some think it's an advertisement
for the laundry" said Mr.. Wood,
"but / assure you it is nothing of
the kind. This white regalia is sim
ply an emblem of purity" After
which the shaft was quickly repaired.

Injunction Suit Hearing.

An injunction suit against the pay
ment or issuance of warrants in ia
vor of the Hines Engineering COM
pany for work done for the county
court was scheduled for hearing to-
morrow. The prosecuting attorney
says that there was nothing definite
in the date of the hearing and that
it was merely agreed on all sides that
hearing would not be held before
August 81. Judge Belt had not re-
turned from Crater Lake at the time
of going to press so that his will in
the matter could not be determined
The Hines Brothers have returned TO

their arguments, but Waller rooze,

tomorrow it will only be to argue on
