John H. Aitkin Speaks Plainely for Utange in Law Governing State (Observer Special) v . j- ' Portland, March 3 1 .- Looking hearty. smiting and confident as ever, Hon. John H. Aitkin arrived in Portland this week from his -Huntington home and will re main here some weeks. He is president of the Oregon Commercial Company, the leading mercantile institution of Eastern Oregon: presilent of the bank of Hunting ton; has been three times mayor of his city, and is a leading factor in the indus trial. developments of Oregon. In matters effecting the growth of the state he has always occupied a prominent part during his la year residence. Somewhat reluctantly Mr. Aitkin final ly consented, at in oi'(.h,.iuuu 7 and of Iriends, to stand as a candidate for state treasurer at the Republican primar ies. His canvass has 'been an earnest one yet devoid of all bitterness, for he has naught but the kindliest expressions when referring to hi j five competitors. ' In an Interview in the Oregonian Mr. Aitkin places himself decidedly upon record as favoring an immediate change of the law now governing the state treasurer. At present the treasurer not only draws his salary of $4590 per year. but is also allowed to deposit the surplus funds of the state where he pleases and to pocket the interest on these huge de posits. Mr. Aitkin in the Oregonian de clares emphatica for a change in this system so that a board, consisting of the governor, secretary of state and treasur er, shall decide where these deposits shall be made and that the interest on these shall revert to the state and not to the extra compensations of, the official. - This is a radical innovation along the lines of true public intrenchment. It has a ring of genuine sincerity and is making Mr. Aitkin thousands of earnest friends among all classes who hold faith to the public higher than mere graft. His plat form is simplicity itself. He merely tells the people that if elected he will give the office a straight, honest, business admin istration and that every person shall have a square deal. "The office shall be con ducted in the interests of the whole peopls in our state." . ' , . Almost 6000 voters of Oregon have al ready signed Mr. Aitkin's petition which will be filed within a few days. In this portion of the state his ' popularity is growing rapidly every day ' and although there are five aspirants for the same office in Portland and the Willamette valley it"rTow seems certain that he will lead the entire list. ' ' . AMUSEMENTS HURRA? AND MACK The well-known comedians, Murray will be seen this season in a new comedy 3f Irish life entitled "Around the Town" which is said to be more to their liking and consequently better suited to their peculiar talents than anything in which they have formerly appeared. They have spared no expense in providing a com plete scenic investiture and the most beautiful and large assortment of cost umes. The company is a large on and comprises many names well-known to theatregoer and a chorus of - male and female voices. " They will be in La Grande April 9. .. - ;!. CALL AT MRS. J. on nfr s ' SCOTT I KtRDttSOIt Candidate for Nomination for District At' torney on Republican Ticket Everybody take a good look at this be cause am paying lor it and 1 want my money's worth. I was trying to identify a drug store when this was taken, hence the business-like appearance. I was never able to pr d ce such an expression until three years ago when I was practic ing law in La Grande a a partner of Maj. F. S. Ivanhoa. After six months of that experience I could do anything. We are still good friends. I met him half way when I was coming out here after his scalp and he was going to Enterprise for mine, and we smoked the pip of peace and slept together in the same bed. I agree with Ivanhoe, he is the best lawyerthat ever addressed a court and all others must take a back seat when he is around. No accused man could possi bly escape if he was the prosecutor and determined to prosecute. The six months that I practiced with him were worth that many years of experience elsewhere but I have done better by myself. A man of his age and experience should not be a prosecutor, he should be writing text books for the instruction of our judges and pointing out the pit falls for attorneys to avoid. . There never was but one F. S. Ivanhoe made, and the bench and bar are aston ished that such an able and experienced man of so many years of so successful practice, should spend so much money for an office so far beneath what he should occupy. (He pays for all his puff in all the papers.) It is astonishing that the people have not put him in this office sometime during the long years he has wanted it and that they have been In the dark, so many years, in regard to this wonderful character. ' It is a shame that this light has been under a bushel so long. However, it Is too late now, such an office requires a young man, who Is willing and able to work hard and does not depend al together on twenty or twenty-five years of experience. When I have practiced that long I hope to be in such a position that I will not want the office of district attorney. If I do not have a practice by that time that will be far ahead of that office I will quit. .' This space is costing money so 1 will quit and allow my home paper to do " the rest, they charge - me nothing " and are supporting me because they know all of us and have confidence in' me. Read the Chieftain and talk to Wallowa county business men, they all know us. Scott Z. Henderson. HOW IS THI TINE Now is the time to build stone and briek buildings, as the material is now as good as in the summer time and for less money, which is just reversed on material in wooden buildings. But if you do build good wooden buildings I would like to furnish you kiln-dried, straight and clear material for same price or less as you buy so called clear lumber, full of knots, bark and inferior planing, which means short crooks, narrow match and with saw marks remaining and below standard width and thickness. Now it is up to vou, The price of the ma'rial is just the same or less. Any carpenter knows there is less waste, a labor saving from 1 0 to 26 per cent, a better job and will last longer.
