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

nient end perarmnl i.herty. liberal
e!.;! trt should he fi'V-. i our seho.iK

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

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 case of the State vs. C. G. Am
brose, charged with non-support,
came up for hearing in Justice Ma ra
ters court this morning. After hear
ing the evidence Justice Marsters
dismissed Ambrose with the under
standing that he Is to contribute $20
per month toward tho support of
his six children. Mrs. Ambrose and
children are at present living at the
home-of the former's parents. The
trial came near ending In a fistic
encounter, when Mrs. Ambrose's
mother attacked Mr. Ambrose and
drove him to the wall with a couple
of right swings. 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.
