No. sa CRAWFORD QUI Says He Will be Candidate For Governor. PLATFORM IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE ! Declares Against SinjIo Tax Be! Iieves in liberal Support of j Schools Iiis Should' he Knforeed Against All. Attorney General Crawford has announced himself as a candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor of Oregon. His announcement Js sent out in the fori;: cf a pldUorin which covers many items and which declares first against single tax. Hi3 announcement folluws: Announcement, When one makes application for the nomination for the high office of governor of the state, those whose votes he solicits, wish, and aro en titled to know something at least of the applicant's views upon current events and governmental functions.' Therefore, with this announcement: of my candidacy for nomination on the republican ticket for the office' tif governor of Oregon, subject to j the approval of the voters, I re-! spectfully submit to the considera-j tfon of the electorate, the following j suggestions tending as I believe to-1 wards better government for Ore-i gon: I Since the products of field and forest are the foundation of all proa-1 perity and a large portion of ourj lands are farming and grazing, the: imposition upon such lands of the en tire burden of taxation would be In tolerable to the farmer and to work ers who own their own homes. There fore the single tlax propaganda should he rejected. As the struggle for existence bears, heaviest upon the laborers of the slate, I would suggest exemption! lom taxation and execution of all household furniture and personal property to be chosen by the housc 1 fi'dcr to a reasonable amount, and. that a constitutional amendment be; adopted to effectuate the same. Uelleving that cheap transporta tion is a great factor in the devel opment of a state, and that nothing j is more conducive thereto than good i roads, and a federal court for thej district of Oregon, having decreed! that the balance of the Oregon-j California railroad grant, amounting' to something over two millions of acres, originally granted in aid of the construction of a railroad, no:th and south through the state, is for failed on the ground of non-conipli-aiue with the conditions of the crant, I would suggest that all the influence which can be brought to h'e-r by the s'lle administration and r;r delegation In congress, sho:M he exerted to the utmost to have the fol elted lands or Ih ? proceeds , th(rtof donated to the state of Ore gon for the construction of good hard surface roads. General intelligence of the people being the assurance of frtu govern-' nient end perarmnl i.herty. liberal e!.;! trt should he fi'V-. i our seho.iK fc.--.! ri jpges. V ' end, ;ind at the same time keeping taxes within reasonable limits, tie common school fund should ho sacredly aunrded and It may n" he too late in pave a portion it leit of the ver, hundred :md fifty thc -sand dollars worth of Indemnity school lands which have during the lat few years been practically Inst to the state, the yearly interest of which would amount to over forty thousand dollars per annum, to be use In the support of schools. Also the whole Influence fljf fthe slate should be brought to bear to have congress appropriate and pay fhe award of over one hundred and ninety three thousand dollars, Be fitted by the Attorney General from the Court of Claims in favor of the state against the United States, which sum goes to the school fund of the state and would produce over eleven thousand dollars per annum interest, to be used In the support of gchoots. Good Judgment and con stant vigilance are necessary to pre vent depletion of this fund. All departments of the state gov ernment should be conducted on the A.NOTHKK POhRKMAX. SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. Un- der a recent ruling of Labor Commissioner Hoff, and upheld by Attorney General A. M. Crawford all policemen in tho state are subject to the provis- ion nf tho piuht bnnr Ihu- A A a result Mr. Hoft will soon no- tify the different municipalities of the state that policemen cannot bo employed more than eight hours out of 24. (Undor this ruling the city of Rose- burn will have to employ an- other officer In the event tho town is to be policed during the entire 2-1 hours.) most economical plan possible with out destroying efficiency and if soi conducted and good business nian-j agomont used, many thousands of! dollars can be saved annually in the administration of public affairs. At; least a fifty thousand dollar redue-! tioucan be made yearly. Uelieving that tho general public j is ent itled to receive some benefit I from tiie natural resources of the j stnte, and having over three millions j of undeveloped water horse-power in j our .streams, such measures should be adopted that will promote its de velopment for the greatest jiublic good. Accurate information is the foundation for wise legislation and intelligent public control, and to this end 1 would suggest a demonstra tion power plant in co-operation with the federal government, on the same plan that experimental farms re conducted In the interest of agricul ture. The laws of the state should be o administered that no discrimin ation exist; that justice be measured out to rich and poor alike; that la bor receive a fair living wage and capital a fair compensation for Its investment. The people of Oregon j do not and siiomd not object 10 a "square deal' all around. The con struction of roads where possible should be prosecuted during the win ter months, and the establishment of industries which operate during the entire year should be encourag ed that labor may be employed dur ing the slack sensou. Would advise! legislation along progressive ifnesi and support of all beneficial mean-, nres regardless of by whom pro-; posed, whether enacted by direct j vote or tho legislative assembly, and nil laws will be rigidly enforced tgj the end that good order be main tained and life and property safe guarded, ond as far as possible by the civil authorities alone. My du ties as attorney general during the last few years have given mo inti mate knowledge of the needs of the various departments, and If my ad ministration of the duties of that of fice has been such as to warrant it. a continuation of your confidence will he gratefully appreciated.

The encounter was only quieted when Sheriff Quine In terfered and persuaded the angered woman to desist. Ambrose was badly frightened, and left the courtroom Immediately following the encounter Sheriff Quine secured a position for Ambrose this morning and will take piihis to see that he contributes the amount specified by the court toward the support of his children. Mrs. Ambrose claimed that her husband neglected to provide for her, and that she was repeatedly confronted with poverty. Upon ?veral occas ions, Mrs. Ambrose said she was obliged to seek assistance from her mother, Mr?. Blldwln. EBEL LEADER Prepare For Attack on Mexico City.
