Facts Disprove
Bushey's Denial
Hospital Pledge

! Failing to recall the incident Of
March A, 1920, when he assured
members of the board of directors
Of the new Salem hospital that the
county would appropriate $4,000
for the construction of the build
ing, Judge William M. Bushey de-
nies that the county was ever
placed under sucn a pledge and re-
pudiates his own statements OF
two years ago.
On March s, 1920, the States
man carried banner line on its
front page stating that Marion
County Offers $4,000 for New
Hospital Building" Under this
were the following direct state
ments:
Marion county will donate
$4,000 toward the proposed new
hospital building.
"The committee received this
assurance yesterday from the
county court. Judge Bushey, how
ever, attached the condition that
the remainder Of the 100000
fund must be first subscribed and
made available. He also said the
people must show real desire for
the hospital before he would final
ly obligate the county toward the
payment OF the amount named.
Judge Bushey takes the posi-
tion that the people In Marion
county residing outside OF Salem,
also have need of hospital facili-
ties. When this structure will be
completed the sick and injured be-
yond the corporate limits of Salem
will be admitted under the SAME
terms as govern the entrance Of
city residents"
On the strength of these state
ments and the assurance giyer
them by the judge that the money
would be forthcoming, the com
mittee composed of William Nc
Gilchrist Jr., T. B. Kay, G. A
Park, Fl. s. Gile, Russell Catlin
and Henry Meyers authorized q
campaign to raise the required
amount, only to be informed long
afterwards by Judge Bushey that
the funds were not available.
In 1920 Judge Bushey and his
commissioners authorized an ex-
cess tax levy amounting to $17,-
600 to be carried on the tax rolls
of 1921, and which Is now being
refunded to the taxpayers after
months of additional labor and
big expense in the offices of the
clerk and tax collection.
How this excess levy ever hap
pened has yet remained unex-
planned by Judge Bushey, but be-
cause of the diversion of funds to
repay the taxpayers there has
been no money with which the
county may keep Its pledge to the
"sick and injured beyond the cor
porate limits Of Salem"
In 1921 Judge Bushey hired the
Anti-Saloon league to clean up the
county at an additional expense
OF approximately $4,000. Taking
the amount OF the excess tax levy
the amount spent in making the
refund and the amount of the
Anti-Saloon league, the county's Is
refuted pledge to the Salem hos
pital association can easily be ac-
counted for.

that he and the people he repre-

the committee proposed that the
United States should apply one
tariff to all countries alike-with
the natural exception of Cuba and
shall force all countries to give
to American products treatment
equal to that which they give to
other countries generally.
