ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG,- OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1948 THIRTEEN MEET THE CANDIDATE I jch' I i,, n i ll .air ili-immr.n.i,.,jWfal(-B The following statement concerning his candidacy for nomination fur state representative on the Republican ticket was submitted by Paul E. Gcddes, above, and does not necessarily signify endorse ment by the Roseburg News-Review. "I did not choose to become a candidate for this position but ac ceded to the urging of various people whom I esteem highly. If I am elected.lt will be because of the efforts of such people in my behalf rather than by my own efforts. I do feel that it is a civic obligation for one who has en joyed and benefited from the many advantages of living in Oregon, and specifically Douglas County since 1912, to at least be willing to take part in the activi ties and procedures involved in lawmaking and furtherance of good government, even though at a personal sacrifice. "I have been vitally interested in various measures which seem to me to be necessary for the con servation of our natural wealth and resources and I feel that spe cial attention should be given to our tax surpluses and the with holding provisions of the state in come tax laws. Jf I am elected I I' will make a thorough study of such problems and support such legislation as I believe will be of the most lasting value to the larg est portion of our population. "Residence in this county since early childhood, observation of legislative procedures since at tending Willamette University College of Law, (from which I was graduated In 1930), and the general practice of law represent ing all types and classes of busi nesses and people, have given me a broad viewpoint of the prob lems of this vicinity. "Among other activities I have served as county chairman of the American Red Crqss president of the County Republican Club; trus tee of the Methodist Church; president of the Kiwanis Club; director of the Chamber of Com merce; member of the Boy Scout Board and other community serv ice committees; deputy district attorney; legal representative for various school districts, and at present I am Roseburg city at torney, and a member of tho State Board of Bar Examiners. "If elected, I will conscientious ly attempt to represent the best interests of the people of this district." Rural School Board Loses In Ruling on Money Suit SALEM, Ore., May 19. () A county rural school board can not bring court action to recover funds from tax property sold below the actual value, Attorney General Neuner ruled today for the State Department of Public Instruction. The question arose in Lane County, where it has been charg ed that the county lost more than 2,500,000 through sale of timber lands which had not been appraised and where the timber had not been cruised. The Lane County rural school board wanted to sue the county, because 80 per cent of funds from the sale of tax lands is given to schools. But Neuner said the board can't sue. CLASS ENJOYS TRIP .

Tall, red-haired, with a face that looked like Lucifer's so soon after the fall that the an gel look was still on it. Steph an Fox saw his chance and took it took it from an indo lent, slave ridden, castebound people with the skill and dar ing of the card sharp he was. He gambled and won and built "Harrow," the greatest manor house and plantation in Loui siana. Three women loved him, all in different ways. Odalie Or ceneaux became his wife, not altogether willingly and lived through days of darkness and terror. Aurore, her sister, hopelessly in love with him and Desire, the lovely quad roon, suffering heartbreak and despair to be with him. This is a story charged with passions, animosities, warfare, and the clash of races.
