The Modern Chimme Sweep
Do you know that the soot on the inside of a
furnace or stove and chimney iiierea;;es dnily
unlil it forms ;i crust which is almost heat anil
fire prtiof and that eventually almost half of
the heafc value of the fuel is 'wasted and lost
in getting through this crnat.
The systematic and intelligent use of ZIP, n
chemical: Chimney Sween as an aid in keeping
out this crust will help in reducing the con
sumption of fuel by increasing its efficiency.
This .means a corresponding reduction in the
fuel hill.
We recommend ZIP to our friends as we know
from experience it will do the work.

Only a land bird flying by, but to Columbus, 430 years
ago, it meant everything. For weary days he had waited
for an encouraging sign. His crew was mutinous and
hope was at the lowest ebb. But lie persisted and won.
The country has just passed a troublesome time but
business has persisted and won. In this bank we be
lieve that persistent and courageous business men al
ways win, and we stand ready to serve them.

axation
(From mi AWict Marfv at Ailiaiij', Orvgort, Oct. 1022.)
J emtifl into this S!;ile 40 ymrango,
: wMulm'mg Ixiy, woikintr, :is a farm
lumil. For SO .vo:i;ff 1 have imn m
imlilic nffico. 1 liiive never tlcliiici
nhly miskil or tUn-eKunl uityltMiy. In
tiiililif (ife I have triod io !( tlb.s
UiUIy square.
When I wis numittnted last l.v,
I suki l my friends: I wilt Cuvi-y the
mefat?n it iinver taxes t th people
(' this-SUite. I luivu no immoy, hut
fxpeet to make a hmulmt iiecheH.
Five times I have totiched the oeemi,
and KO"t- fvirt'ii CaUl'innisi to liiu rivei'
in Idaho three times. 1 have pwto
whevuver the invilutum whs ex
tended; wherever eoldd meet little
pidiiii and talk to tliem about what I
think is n staitliii.' state of uftiuvs.
1 am trvtttjf to tin it fairly, honestly
mul in the u)ieu. .
Friends, if we save Oregon from
the aut'Uim Ulack, if we save tiur iio
erty fmm conl'ist'ation by taxntion,
we have pit to do somo very hard
thinking.' To my mind, the tax. iues
timi is th foipmo.st" pmblem in Ore
sroii Uiday. It. vises alxwe alt else..
The titiestimi is: Are yim going tt,
uwu your own lumies uud yuur own
farms in future yeni-s, or nm they
tciiitttr to he taken fiom you by the
rising tide' of taxes?
The rental value of nil pmiierty in
Oicsfon is too lvio.li uceoiding to the
value of the ;n)eity, e.utsed by thf
Kind taxes. It dooKii't cut much ice
in the money markets when the prop
erty passes away from the num who
thought he owned it. lie is left with
the hii.sk; the kernel is jftme.
When I went to the Senate the
first time it took about to of the
venial value of v(wvty to pay taxes
That year Umatilla county raised
5,(MHI,110(1 tmslieis or wheat. Our State
taxes were SMOO.OIM) in that etnmty;
Rli'.r of the wheat crop paid its trtjees.
This year that county produced
.(,000,000 bushels or wheat, whileher
taxea me l'.I.OUO, of whieh $133,
iKSi is State tax, while the whole is
IU' of the value or the wheat crop
taken for taxes. The population of
tlie Stitte then was about 3I,MH.
Now is it not tinite 800,01111.
When I entered the State Senate
20 years , l.ooO.tHlO was the total
State expense. When 1 returned to
the Senate six years nu it was
$2,500,000 per year. Today $if,MH,
0(1(1 or more is .collected, from us in
t;rxation. Can this tide anitinue t
rise if we keep our property? How
hij;h it is Bohnr to jjo?
Therp is collected .ffi.OOO.OO'r in fees
now, six times as much as we spent
20 years afro; more than twice what
we spent six years ii(o.
In knots and in irioups 1 have leen
Ciurviup,' this niessaRi! to the people:
"THIS MUST STOl'S" 1 shall con
tinue to carry it until election day.
I asked Mr. Pay, as Secretary of
the Tax Investigation Committee, to
collect some figures for me. Accord
ing to these figures, there are only
five or six Stales in the Union Unit
have more IniimIimI indebtedness than
we have. In . wealth mul population
we rank down aloiit thirty-sixth. The
(inures show we are spending more
money for Stale government than tho
State of Kansas. Kansas spends
$tt,rilM,(UKt; we s)eml $1,
while Mimiesota sK!ud.s only $(,fiW,
(KKi, You ask, "Why i MiimesoUi
aWay lwn then;?" It is Ijeeatlse
Miimesotii has raised from indirect
sources the larger part of her revenue
for State purposes, while we have
raised it from the farmer, the cattle
man nod the sheep man. They
thought these men could not kick.
Iml they ARK -kicking' t.xky. If I to
not miss my stuesa, they will show
still more kicking in November, -
Sliimesota collects 5" upon all pub
lic service corporations in that State.
California pays her State taxes :in the
same way, That should ba dene in
Ore;on. Yo may say this Uvx eomea
back titcm the (teople. Just the wno ,
it is spread, out en auove ieopte, 'It
is not on n few scattered .fanners.
Today we are confiscating proirty
and ruiniu the people, of this Stattt
who are feedirtg- us. 'They cannot
operate their farms lit a. profit, uipd
they emmot my the hewvy ;taxs
levied uiKui tliouu
inimasota collects 25 cents from
eveiy ton of on; diitf up and token
from the State, This is dune hy. n
severance tax. When yon Uke a pvo
ttuet from that State, yon must pny
for the privilege, 1 was at a place in
O'.VRim where they showed me n mine
from which a comimny hud Uiken out
a million dollars 'in jrolrl. It w
hv citwons of England. They had not
paid a dollar in taxes to the State ft
OrcKOii for rcmovinir this gnmt wealth.
A severance tax has been teuied by
several States in this Union. It is
something; fur us to talk about and
consider. In n few years OreM'
beautiful forests will be blrtekened
stumps. " Here 1 we allow ".the" Govern
ment to set aside frreat forest rwwr
vationn, from which no taxes are re
ceived. From foi-ests in the rwwrve
Fjisteruers cut the timber and ship
the Inmlwr to Oklahoma. Thus from
Oregon's great forests in the reserve
k,v. conn; no tsixes 'to support 'the
State. , ,
We have fSIO.OtW.OOO in bonded in
debtedness for ihe soldier Ixkys, I
don't regret the money .we ,gnve .tham.
It was Senator Smith of Cues and I
who introduced the )dll. Two and a
half million dollars have been raised ;
to eneourjiBe . the, boy to go lwk- ttt
'sctftiul. rtltff lliid we'have gtvetr trirs
money to them. We can never do too
much for the men who went ;down on
the fields of France to do mul to die.
We have on the 'ballot meaur
to impose n flat income tax, 1 .am
opposed to that, but I am in favor. of
a tritid dated income tax, Iwcause .1 be
lieve the man who has the targe in
come should pay more than .the tmm
who has the small .income.
A gvoss earnings fax -would be an
other source of revenue.
The cattle pmwer certainly nemfs
relief. Gattta are selling cheaper than
they have srtld in "!M .rears in .projwr
tion to cost of production. A reitliou
head of entile in this :State are gtnnjf
to the butcher's block. They simply
cannot lie produced for the money that
is paid for them today. The Intrden
upon tln farm and runctr has hecmne
uiltearatle. , . r
There is no qtieHtioii in this ratm
paign but that of taxes. There Is no
other thing- to talk about. If I don't
do anythinit else, I uni goino; to -do
this lo the enjl of time. Vou mm in
lix years drive this Stale into bank
ruptcy, I have done and am doinir the
very best I know how to carry this
message of lower taxes to the people
of Oregon. Extravagance must stopf
Kxiicnsea must lie reduced! Taxes
must come down I ,
It all depends upon you who read
these words, You can say hy your
ballot in Novemlwr whether you wnnt
to go mi paying this terrific cost, or
whether you don't. ,
My pledge is this: If elected (7ov
eruor, f will do every proper thing
within my power to reduce taxation
in Oregon. Ott this basis I ask your
supiHat and vote.
