Commenting on the featcres of his platform, Jay Bowerman, acting Gov enjor'and assembly candidate for the republican , nomination for governor, said he had observed from traveling through Oregon that, in this 'campaign the voters are disposed seriously to consider the specific promises of can didates rather than unquestloningly to accept glittering generalities and and broad statements. Concerning his own platform, Mr. Bowerman said vot ers are especially Interested In that ! plank which proposes the Inaugur ation of a business system in the con duct o.f the state's business affairs, by which many thousands of dollars would be saved to the taxpayers In the purchase of supplies for the differ ent state Institutions.. . , "Under the present system of pur chasing supplies for the, state," said Mr. Bowerman, "each of the seven Btaie Institutions purchases its sup ples separately. This plan should be changed. If nominated and elected, I shall advocate and, If possible, inau gurate a needed reform in this con nection. "All supplies for the state Institu tions should be brought' together and a saving of probably $50,000 annually effected to the taxpayers." Under the system which has always been In vogue by which each 1 institution purchases its supplies independently of the others, there 1b a wide discrep ancy In the prices paid by the differ ent institutions for the same articles. "For instance, the state Insane asy lum, which buys meats in large quan titles, paid only $7.87 per 100 pounds for the first bIx months this year, while the blind school paid $12 per 100 pounds for the same period. This Bame article was bought at the other state Institutions at the following prices: Penitentiary, $7.43; Reform school, $7.90; Mute school ' $S, and Feeble Minded Home $7.75. Even a greater difference Is shown in the cost to the state of flour used by these institu tions.' This product at the asylum cost only $3.60 per barrel, while in the reform school, buying in smaller quantities, paid $5.80 for the Bame ar ticle. This product "-cost the mute school and feeble-minded home $5.20 each, and the Wind Bchool $4.50. "Rice delivered at the asylum and the penitentiary, cost $3.37 per 100 pounds, while at the reform school the same article cost the state $5.25, and at the feeble-minded home $4.50.

' ' V ' "It requires only a very simple mathematical calculation to 6how conclusively 4hat an enormous saving of the taxpayers' money could be made by purchasing all state supplies to gether and apportioning the same to the several Instl utlons. In proposing this rerorm 1 feel that I am only re sponding to a demand on the part of the people of the state that the busi ness of the state should be transact ed on straight business principles. The stores does not make individual pur chases in providing stocks of goods. He takes advantage of the situation, buys his good9 in one consignment, se cures the benefit of that ;lan of buy ing and distributes the stock thus purchased among his several s.ores as it may be required. Why should the state not Introduce and practice the same practical business principles in the purchase of its supplies?" - When shown a clipping from a dem ocratic organ criticising him and al leging that he is opposed to the direct primary law, Mr. Bowerman called at tention to the fact that this very law i3 Indorsed as one of the planks in the platform on which he is seeking the republican nomination for governor. "I am standing on that platform un qualifiedly," said Mr, Bowerman, " am for the primary law, and have never been against it, as my record for the last six years in the state sen- for six years to Introduce bills for Us repeal, but have not done it. What is more, I shall not be a party to its re peal. If the people want this law re pealed, they will have to do It them selves. , I never " have voted for the amendment or repal of any measure enacted by the people. I have been for the direct primary law, am for it now, and shall continue to be for it What more can be said?" f GRADE STUDENTS NUMBER 713 FLATTERING INCREASE IN FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE.
