rowed when Cady plunged the industry
into a hole. Crawford presented figures
to show he would net for the state q
profit Of about 100000.
Crawford Discharged.
As a result of another clash between
Murphy and Crawford, the governor dis
charged Crawford. He said Crawford
had made a failure. Crawford asked for
the $50 bonus the state had agreed to
pay him. The governor refused 10 give
it, although later he offered to pay him
$400, or half of it. This amount Craw-
ford refused to accept, saying he was
either entitled to nothing or the entire
amount.
Crawford presented a statement 10
the governor showing that the state IS
profit would reach approximately
10000. The governor denied the figures
and made a statement tO show that the
indus. ry was a financial failure.
Crawford Loses In Court
Crawford took the matter to court,
seeking a writ of m%andamus TO compel
the governor to live up to the state Is
contract. The case never went to trial IN
j merits as the governor hid behind
the technicality that the governor, in
his official capacity, could not be sued.
The court sustained this contention and
dismissed the writ.
Now, on the eve of the primary elee.
ton, the Statesman, which is urging the
governors reelection, publishes a flam-
ing editorial heralding the great sui.
cess the governor has made of the flax
industry, and points out that after all
bills have been paid more than $4,000
is in the flax fund, and all the 1915
crop has not yet been worked up. Only
nat portion Of the 1916 crop which
Crawford retted has been worked up
and marketed.
Only Political Dodge.
This is an eleventh hour attempt Of
the Statesman to overcome the injury
which has been done the flax industry
by the governor insistencs that a fail
Gre was made of the flax business.
The flax indusFy in the Willamette
valley is not a failure. 1t is a proven
success, and its greatest success has
been achieved by Robert Crawford, even
though he was deprived of his wages By
a chief executive who branded the in
dustry a failure.
