TAXPAYERS KIND TO CHAMBERLAIN His Salary As Office Holder Exceeds $100,000 Asked "How Was It Spent?" Since TL A. Sooth. Republican can didate for United State Senator, an swered lb question, "Where did you get It?" Republican paper bar raised the question for George K. Chamber lain, the Democratic nominee to an wor, "How did you spend It?" Bom Industrious dlacer ha compiled tbe list of public office Chamberluln has held since coming to Oregon from Mlnslsnlppl and circulate that Cham berluln ha drawn down more than 1100,000 In money contributed by tax payer. It la bow Chamberlain speot this money that Itepubllcan are curious. On nnwimantir editor recounts that Ctmitibnrlaln bus been Attorney-General, District Attorney, Governor and United Htate Senator, holding some of these office more than on tern, and that Chamberluln since entering public life baa acarcrly ever born off tne payroll, a ne eniereq upon a new Job before the old one waa worn out. In hi explanation of "where he got It," llooth told the story of bl life. Democrat any that Booth la an aris tocrat and doe not belong to tbe plain people, Booth' own narrative re counts how be wa one of a family of 12 children; that ha lived In a log catiln, worked on a farm and took his pay In chickens; punched cattle, herded sheep and otherwise helped aunnort the family until be was 21 year old and paid for bl first "store clothes" by gathering wool from bushes and taking the hides from sheep which died on the rang. He struggled hard for an education and acquired It. He waa a day laborer, nd day laborers ar supposed to t d i b oeoD e. By Industry he mot with aucce and associated with oth er he built up a sawmill Industry which developed the timber resources of Interior Oregon. R. A. BOOTH Bnoth's statement Included the dec laratlon that at tlmea the sawmill he managed employed 1300 men and the oavroll exceeded $80,000 a month. The ennrern brouaht Into Oregon more than $10,000,000 of outside money and farmer, merchanta. laborer and en tire communities received the major aart of thl aiim. directly or Indl rectly. The Republican point out that Booth' rlae from a farm hand and day laborer la to. hi credit and that hundred of other Oregon boys are developing the same way. They Ian nnlnt out that the Industry which Booth's efforts built up brought Into the state more money than the Gov ernment ha appropriated for river and harbor lmorovementa in Oregon since the state was admitted to the Union. Durlna the Dcriod that Booth was turning timber Into stream of gold which was flowing through interior Oregon, spreading prosperity to work ers and merchant, the Kepuoncans (WW that Chamborlatn was draw Ins a salary from tax funds aa an officeholder. Having been born in Oregon and lived here all his life, nnnth's supporters contend that he knows Ha people and the needs of tha utile aa well as any man can and having made good, whether aa a far mer. cowboy, sheepherfler, bookkeep er or sawmill nan, be can make good In the Senate. Tha lmDreBBlon that Booth Is a mil llonatre has been gained because of the great commercial enterprise which he caused to grow from almost noio Ins and because of the large contrt tmtlnna ha haa ctven to educational and other betterment worka. Booth nnnfessea that he never was a mil llonalre and that his holdings In the hnatnen ha managed waa very small; In fact, It la about 3 per cent, or I6E.000. inalatent.lv. some of the Republican papers declare that It is a Important tn tnrielna! the fitness ol a man ior nfrioa tn know how he spends his mnnn as it Is to know where he gets It.
