IT'S A SIGN FOR
THANKSGIVING
on our part that our efforts to
sell the . best lumber, timber
etc., at the lowest possible prices
have been so generously appre
ciated. We thank all who have
favored us with their orders and
trust they will be as wise in
choosing their turkey as they
were in selecting their lumber.
welfare to the end that we make of
La Grande a better place to live in.
I earnestly believe that a commun
ity's greatest asset and safeguard is
a well paid, directed and contented
working class. I therefore stand for
the employment of the workers on. all
public construction by direct labo),
supervised by competent superintend
ents; and there by eliminate the con
tract system of doing public work,
which is generally conceded to be the
cause of our city's present financial
predicament. I- hold" that it is a
duty the city's administration owes
to its citizens, to employ none but!
resident citizens on all its public
works, and in all public departments j
where eve possible. .
1 would retrench in the city's ex- j
penmtures by strict economical pur
chasing of necessary ' supplies,
and the reduction of ' salaries of
higher officials rather than the re
duction of wages of the workers.
I am strictly in favor of
law and order, and to this
I will insist uponNa thorough reor
ganization of the police department
upon the lines of efficiency only.
I am sincerely in accord with the
principle, that public office is a public
trust; the the citizens have a moral
. j it. j'and legal right to criticise, approve,
leased the . P,i n,- i,i;,. onfa nt -v,;-
officials with out fear of persecution.
It is also the duty of such officials
to listen to complaints and grievances
Of the people, to the end that there
may be no discrimination practiced;
and that we may become a harmon
ious whole; working for the best in
terest of the city at large.
J am in favor of levying a general
improvement tax upon the whole
city in payment for public construc
tion work. I hold that what the
people use together, the people should
own together. And what the people
own together, theyvshould pay for to
gether. This would . eliminate the
constant friction, which the present
method of levying the toll upon abut
ing property brings about.
' This 13 no new theory as it has
been in operation for many years with
grand success, in many cities and
towns in the East. . . . ' '
In conclusion I will state that I
am now, and have been all my life, a
mechanic. I plainly see the needs,
the desire, and the hope of the plain
people; therefore, should I be elect
ed; I will give the best there is in me,
in the interest of our city. Yours
for a greater and better La Grande.
