Hon. 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. ' ' .

' 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.

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.
