Describ ing conditions In one typical district that of Kdinburgh road, tho medical officer of education says: "The great nmoiint of anaemia and malnutrition among these chil dren Is attributable to poverty, with Its resultant evils of dirt, underfeed ing and female labor. The main ar ticles of diet nre Indifferent bread and butter, the fag ends of coarse meat, the outside leave of green vegetables and an occasional penny's worth of fish and potatoes. "Approximately one third of the children In this neighborhood nre supported by female labor owing to inability of the men to got work. The glrjft are required to work far be yond their strength at domestic drudgery, while the boys hang around public houses and the gas works, picking up scraps of food or coppers from the workmen.

OPEN LETTER TO VOTERS OF OREGON Continued from Page One. lions of watered stocks and bunds is sued, and will fasten upon tho people for all time the speculative capitali zation of our public service and busi ness corporations. Need New Statute The time Is at hand to declare for a atatnje which shall mako It ever lastingly Impossible for any presi dent, or any congress, or any court, to legalize spurious capitalization as a basis of extortlonato prices. The progressive republican plat form must take advunco ground upon this question. It must declare Tor tho Kpeedy abolition of all privilege, It must deal rationally but firmly with thu coiftplex problonm which have been perniltted to develop main ly in tho last union yearn. It must bo to tho Inst degree a constructive plat form, But a platform, however trtrong hud progressive, hi not enough. For example, tho platform or 1U0H was n plain declaration for a revision of tho tnrlfr on the ImnlH or the differ ence In tho cost of production. Re vision In compliance with that plodgo would have enormously reduced tho Dlngley duties, but tho president elected on tliat platform approved tho Payne-Aldrlch bill, Increasing tho Dlngley dufles. Lesion is Obvious Tho lesson Ih obvious. Its'tcnchlng I must not be forgotten, Tho cltlxen should ask what tho candidate has actually done toward solving tho problems that confront us: whether his course of action gives assurance or profound conviction; whether he Is equipped with patience, determina tion and oxporlcnco to deal with these problems, constructively, In tho public Interest, lu this spirit l ask you to con sider my candidacy. I shall not undertake, within the compass of this letter, to dlsciiMs the Issues, or Indeed to more than sug gest my position upon the vitally Im portant ones. 1 bellevo In: Tho liittlntlve, referendum and re call and direct nominations and elec tions, not only as applied to states, but also In the extension of these principles to thj nation as a whole. The equalization of the burdens of luxation, upon a property basis, through tho adoption of graduated Income and Inheritance taxes. The parcels post. Government ownership of express companies and government operation of express busIuesH at actual cost to the public. ltcnsniinhlo 'Valuation The reasonable valuation of tho physical property of railroads, justly Inventoried ami determined, as tho basis for fixing rates, nnd tho exten sion of the powers and the adminis trative control of tho Interstate Com iiicrce commission. 1 would have tho nation know how much of tho $18,00000,000 capitali zation was contributed by those who own the railroads, and how .much by the people, thctiifulvcs, I believe In the creation of a com mission, with fowor to investigate nud ascertain thu Illegal arts of all trusts and combinations, nud with power to ascertain tho reasonable valuation not tho monopoly valua tion of tho physical properties of tho great monopolies, beginning with such us tho natural resources, such as coal, oil, and Iron; In tho creation of a tariff commission of experts clothed with real .power to determine thu valuation of nil tho elements of production, costs nnd profits, nnd in tho reduction of tar iff rates to tho ascertained differ ence between tho labor lu this coun try and abroad, instead of ouch of theso government commissions Inves tigating tho snmo fnctH Independently I bollevo It would bo pnictli'itl for a sluglo board of expert uccoiintaiits, statisticians, ecouomlslH, nnd engi neers to bo empowered to gel the fuels, not for tho eourhlontlul use of the president or the depart incuts, but for congress mid tho public, Opposes Ship Siilldles I am opposed to nhlp subsidies, which, once eiilreuuhed, will heroine another corrupting Influence In our politics, I am opposed to further extrava persons only. In building butlleshtps gauce, on tho udvlco of Interested and political navy yiuds, nnd favor tin unprejudiced commission to In vestigate and report what Is required lu tho way of national defense, I am opposed to the dollar diplo macy which lias reduced our state department from its high place mi a kindly Intermediary of defenseless nations Into a trading outpost for Well Street Interests, aiming to ex ploit those who should he our friends. 1 am opposed to tho A Id rich cur rency scheme, which, under the guise of providing elasticity to our cur rency system and relieving monetary conditions.
