From the Oregon Messenger Salem. oregon.

Teal's ideas were not so far wrong
after all.
The charges against this court, Teal
in particular, claim that he has shown
favoritism by expending too much
money in the Falls City district that
he has overdrawn the road account,
and that he has evaded some of the
provisions of the law. Friends of the
court have pointed out alleged glar-
ing inaccuracies in the estimates on
the figures of road expenditures as
shown in the recall petitions.
A year or two ago people in the
Falls City district insisted that Judge
Teal was eXpending no sufficient sum
of money for roads in that section,
and there was some talk of attempt
ing to recall him for that The ne
cessity for better roads around Falls
City became so evident that a large
sum of money was voted On the dis
trict itself and with some little aid
from the county, long-needed i'm
provements have been going on there.
In 1913, when the county budget
was prepared, the policy of the court
was that all road improvements
should tend toward permanent good
roads. AS a result it was found dur
ing the course of the year that the
road fund was being depleted. In
spite of this, great delegations from
various sections waited on the court
and demanded new roads in different
parts of the county. After considera-
ton the court reached the conclusion
that the roads could be built more
cheaply that year than IL it waited
another year. and in consequence de-
cided to exceed the budget, rather
than to wait and increase the next
subsequent budget
Because of these things the effort is
being made to recall the court.
II may also be noted along with the
statement that Polk county has the
lowest per capita road tax Of any
county in the state which raises its
road tax by direN taxation. that Polk
county has some of the best roads of
any county of the state.
This splendid condition Of affairs.
friends Of the court declare. can only
be traceable TO one reason. and that
reason is efficiency in the administra-
tion of the expenditure of the road
fund. Such administration is in the
hands of the county court that a GER
tain faction is attempting to recall

Several interesting features present
themselves in connection with the
proposed attempted recall of County
Judge Teal and Commissioners Beck
EFT and Wells of Polk county, accord
ing to friends of the court who have
weighed the charges in a balance and
declare that they have found these
charges wanting.
Investigation shows that the court,
which a few circulators of petitions is
attempting to recall, has kept the ex-
penses of Polk county down to a point
where there are 81 other counties in
the state with a higher per capita tax
for all taxation purposes.
This same court has kept the per
capita road tax down to $6.4S, which
is the lowest road per capita tax of
any of the counties in the state whose
road expenditures are paid by money
raised from direct taxation. Polk
county is conceded to have some of
the best roads in Oregon.
According to friends of the court.
the recall movement is principally di-
rected against Judge Teal and Com.
missioners Beckett and Wells are at
tached to the petition as prize exam
pies of the Angoras that roam the
Polk county hills.
This is the first term for both Wells
and Beckett.
But here is the record of Judge
Teal which it is well worth while for
Polk county people to consider:
Elected county commissioner in
1900.
Defeated for the nomination for
commissioner in the convention of
1904.
Nominated and elected commission
er by the people by a great majority
in 1906.
Defeated for commissioner in 1910
by less than twenty votes.
Elected county judge in 1912.
Friends of the court point out in
this record a fact which is not appar-
ent at first glance, but which becomes
obvious after a moments considera-
ton. 1t will be noted that he met
defeat once or twice. and from such
defeat il is presumed he occasionally
made some move not altogether satis-
factory to the people. But il will al
so be noted that he was. after each
defeat, again elected to Office. indicat-
ing that the people on more mature
reflection may have decided that Mr.
