BAKER Dependable! Heath & Milligan Paint a way to know dependable. Look for this r nd Inalce t your safe guide in buying. 1 help you solve your Paint problems. ler-Fee Hardware Co. Fl?? have accepted and have endeavored to make a study while in the locali ties of the various possibilities so that in my campaign I may talk in telligently of what the state has to offer," Mayor Baker said. "It is my intention to make my campaign on a platform of building Oregon, and doing for Oregon the things Oregon is entitled to. I have been in every section of the state ex cent one county, Harney, and I ex pect to go Into that county early next month. Then I have covered tne state without any attempt to Inject politics into my visits. 1 think that I know the statu of Oregon and what the state of Oregon has to offer In the way of inducements to industries as well as any man in the mate, gener ally speaking. "My belief in the state of Oregon is so great that If I can come In contact with captains of Industry that I can Interest them tn our state. Just go ing to Washington as the senator from my home state would not be my ambition but I reel that there is an opportunity there to do a big con structive work. "The government nt Washington has placed in the reserve timber and waterpower sufficient to expect from that government, and its representa tives, a like amount 'in value to de velop our state along the line of Irri gation, mineral development, harbor development, post roads and any number of other developments that will be of great value to our state. . "I am so enthused over our state that 1 find little difriculty in inter esting the people that I meet and in spiring their conridence. The recep tion that I have received at the hands or Oregon citizens has elated me beyond expression, and when I do open my campaign, and I have an opportunity to present my views, I feci that I will receive a respectful hearing. If I have nothing to offer I expect nothing in return. If the peo ple of Oregon feel that any other man is better able to represent tbem than I am then it Is their plain duty to se lect that man. I have always tried to be a constructive builder aa mayor or the city or Portland, I have en deavored to, and have succeeded. In having new Industries located In that city, and I am very grateful for the evident support and respect that the Portland community shows toward me. "To say that I am not fascinated with your section of the country would be repudiating every thought I have of our wondeful Oregon, and without any attempt at flattery will say that Roseburg and Douglas coun ty have much to offer the hundreds of thousands of tourists that are coming to our state In the near fu ture. The wonderful highways of Oregon are becoming known and the people are looking to the northwest not only to locate but to also maAe it a tourists' raecca. "I will open my rampalgn In Salem Wednesday night. March 12." Mayor and Mrs. liaker came to "I Don't Like The Way They Are Running Things" Then get in and help change them. If you are right, you will doubtless find many others who agree with you. This is a democratic organization. "I Haven't Time to Attend the Meetings" That shouldn't prevent you from extending your moral and financial support, it other men are willing to give both money and time, you ought to be willing to give money alotie. But you should attend aa many meetings aa possible. You'll get new ideas, new thoughts, and new energy from mixing . with the type of men who make up the Chamber of Com merce. And are you really too busy? "I Belong to Too Many Clubs Now" The Chamber of Commerce Is not a "Club." It is the organized citizenship of Hoseburg. formed for the general welfare of the whole community. Membership in a club is optional. Membership in the Chamber of Commerce la a duty the ft ret duty of every business and professional man. It's the rent he pays for living in and on a community. "You Have Enough Without Me" No excuse could "be more aelflBh. Because other men arc willing to pull a load uphill ia no reason why you should catch on behind and ride. You share in the benefits of the working of the Chamber of Commerce you cannot avoid it if you live In Roseburg, so why not carry your end? The more members the Chamber has the stronger it will be, and the more it can do for Roseburg. There ia no "enough" in this work. The problems and duties are unlimited. "I Can't Afford It" There are mighty few business men in RoBeburg who really can't afford to Invest lu centa a day to advance the business, civic, Industrial, commercial, educational and other Interests of their city. 12.50 to 15.00 a month out of an In come such aa yours is a mighty small price to pay for the . benefit, and, furthermore, you are not the man to share In these benefita without doing your part "There Is Nothing In It For Me" The Chamber of Commerce is not a selfish proposition. It makes no appeal to the man who wants to use It for his own selfish ends. The man who Joins the Chamber should do ao with the sole Intention of thus contributing to the welfare of Roseburg. Perhaps the Chamber may be of some direct assistance to blm, to his business, or to bis line of trade, but ordinarily he doea not expect direct financial returna from bis membership. The work of the Chamber cannot help hut benefit him Indirectly. It may be through the bringing of conventions to the city, or of new industries. It may be through protection from solicitors for take schemes. However, if in none or these ways, the member benefits through the knowledge that he is a man among men he la carrying his share of a common burden. "I Haven't Any Use For the Fellows Back Of It" We don't like men when we don't know them well. Men we once thought cool and unfriendly become mighty good fellows on cloBur acquaintance. "Get acquainted with them you might like them." There are no cliques in our organi zation. . ' "Others in My Line Are Not Members: Why Should I Bef" Because other man are shirking taxes doesn't excuse you. Because other men mistreat their families would be no standard for you. A man who hldea behind other men's failure to do their duty la hard up for an excuse. You should be an example for your trade; come on In, and then you can invite them to Join. "There is No Way I Could Take Part" You could serve on our membership committee or other committees in which you may be directly interested. You can use the services of our various bureaus. "We Are Only a Branch Our Home Office Is In Chicago New York" The fact that your people have opened a branch In Rose burg Indicates that they nave Interests here. Equitable freight rates and freight service which you are enjoying are the result of Chamber's efforts. The fact that you are only a branch Is all the more reason why you should support the Chamber. Tell your home office that your branch should support this Chamber In the same way that other busi nesses do. y Roseburg from Marshfleld where the mayor spoke at the Lumbermen's convention.

Wollenborg In the suit brought by the city or Rid dle, was sustained this morning by Circuit Judge Hamilton.

Judge Hamilton also handed down a ruling In the case of William E. Shannon against Ry StUtner. a suit In equity over a homestead claimed.

Kelllngton is repre sented In his trial by Attorneys Card well and Wlmberly and Attorney Neuner la handling the state's case.
