L. R. RONEY for Commissioner In submittiiu: inv eanclidaov l'or the ot'lic»“ of County ('oniinis- sioner of Lane comity on the i (‘publican ticket in tin* general election to be held November 7 . 1ÎI22, I desire to make certain specific and definite statement! « relative to what 1 propose to assist m itccoinpiishiiijr. Lane County Taxes Although state taxes for 1921 were practically the same in amount as they were in 1920, for Lane eouuty, yet county and local taxes have actually been increased enough to make a $32,000 net increase for the whole o f Luiie county fo r 1922. Thus we see that taxes in I^ane county ar«* constantly growing more burdensome, and the only way to reduce taxes is to practice tin* most rigid economy in the administration of county a ffa irs in every detail of public expenditure. In my opinion, court house expenses can and should be curtailed. I f elected, I shall use my best effo rts to cut down court house expenses to the minimum con sistent with efficien cy and business requirements. A ll county court o f ficers and employes o f the county entrusted with the disbursement *«f county funds should 1«* required to exercise th«* same economy in the disbursement o f public money and th«* same efficien cy in the discharge o f their respective o ffic ia l duties as are required by private business en terprises in the conduct o f their business affairs. Market Road Fund The present Market road law went into effe c t in 1920. Since that date l^aue county has received from tin- market road fund $55,918.00 in 1920 and $56.140.00 in 1921 and $50.343.00 in 1922. or a grand total o f $168, 407.00 within the last three year-. Ju-*t how much o f this enormous sum ha* been transferred to othor funds or otherwise diverted from th«- use contemplated by the law is not within the realm o f conjecture, but certain it i- that our roads have not received the atten tion to which they are entitled; therefore. I am firm ly o f the opin ion that market road funds should be expended on market roads— which are essentially farm ers’ roads— rath er than on the Pacific highway, which is a state road. Special Road Tax Fund All sections o f Lane county should receive their just proportion in the expenditure o f road money. Special road tax money should be used only by the taxpayer* who voted that tax. I am unalterably opposed 11 the shiftin g or transfer o f such funds a fte r they have been voted and assigned to the budget. Road Maintenance I am heartily in favor o f road maintenance. The roads heretofore eontftrueted should be kept in good repair and patrolled by men known to be vigilant in the enforcement o f the law regulating th«* speed o f automobiles and the overloading o f freight trucks. These highly de structive abuses o f our public roads can only be corteeted by the con- stnnt and systematic attention o f a vigorous and vigilant road pot ml. Road and Bridge Program I d«« not desire to obtain n single vote by deception or through mis apprehension, therefore it i- right and proper that 1 should frankly Paid adv— o27n3_______________________ and openly state my position upon the road and bridge program o f it«* county. Bridge Building I have follow ed the business o f bridge building for more than lo years. I f elected 1 shall myself superintend— with the assistance o f a competent foreman— tin* construc tion o f bridges in Lane county. I can do so without interfering m tin* least with the other duties o f tin* offic«* and t h«* re by save to the tax payers o f I-a lie county th«* salary now paid to th«* bridge superinten- d«*nt. 1 am fu lly conscious of my ab ility to build bridges much cheap er than is now being done under the present management. Extravagant Expenses It is my candid opinion that the progress ot Lane county depends largely upon the development of our county road system; therefore, we should at all times guard against extravagant «*xjH*n»«*s and strive io obtain a dollar's worth o f work or merchandise for each dollar ex pended. I nder th«* present manage ment our roads ami bridges are, hi my opinion, costing entirely to«» much money and overhead expense* an* out of all proportion to actual const ruction accomplished. 1 am «1« cidedly in favor of a less nuiiib«*r of road ami bridg«* bosses, there fore, more or better roads and bridges i«»r the same amount ex pended. For ill«* past >«*v«*ral years Lane county lias employed a bridg«* superiut«*iid«‘iit at $175 |»*r mouth and a road suporiiit<*iideiit at $225 per mouth. Euch o f them* suffer in tend«*nts has a foreman on each job under construction ami these for«* men receive a g«H««l salary. I f elect- ed it is my purpose to » e«* that the taxjuyers of Urn* county shall r«* ceive substantial tax redu<*tiou by r«a-«»n o f th«? absolute elimination o f all superfluous bosses and super fluous tax -eater* t«» b«* found on Dm«* county's payroll. County-Owned Cars and Trucks Th«* fiv e county owned automo biles and two «»r more freight trucks should be used for county business only, not fo t pbasur«*, not for pri v*ut«* business or by the fam ilies o f county officials «ir employes. Th»* unofficial u-« o f th«*se county <iwvied cars, together with th«* cons«*quent consumption o f county-owned ga.-«* line, should Is* positively prohibited. Platform Pledges I desire that th«* people o f Lan county shall know that 1 am un«i«*r no obligation, pl«*dge or promise to any offi<‘eli<i|<l«*r whomsoever. I am not a member o f any politi«*al ring or clique o f any kind whatever. I f **l»*cte«l 1 will p**rforii) th«* «Inti«** of th«* off»«*«1 without fear or fa vo- aml with doe r«*gnrd for th** up builtling o f I^iivi«- county ami th«* best interests o f th«* taxpayers ami I hereby solemnly promise to stand by and faith fu lly fu lfill th«* above and foregoing platform to th** very best o f my ability.

NO TES M A N Y PRECINCTS GET TW O ELECTION BOARDS Call and inspect our line of In Hus campaign, W a lter Pierce has Rone about the country melo dramatically tearing: tax bills in tw o by way o f illustrating what he will do to taxes if elected T h e voter, then, should analyze the tax mat ter to the extent of becoming informed as to juat what part the governor plays in imposing or reducing taxes. In the first place, the voter should know that the total levy in O regon fo r 1922 is $40,473,906 Th is is a reduction of over Sl.SOO.OOO from last year, so that it w ill be seen the high cost of governm ent follow ing the war ia already reced ing. O f this 1922 levy o f 40 million, over 31 m il lion was fo r county, city and school district purposes, over which the governor could have no possible control whatever. O f the remaining 9 m illion for state purposes, only 3 l/ i m illion are taxes over which the legis lature lias any discretion, and o f this amount, only f Vi m illion a re-for die actual expenses of state governm ent and might, therefore, in even the remotest degree, be charged to the methods employed by the governor in administering the state's afiairs. In passing, it should be noted that this state levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1916, and not several hundred per cent, as stated on various occasions by the democratic candidate. It should also be noted that less than half of this 41 per cent occurred during Mr. O lcott’s administration. T h is ability to keep down the cost of the state government to so small an increase, when living expenses in the ordinary home in the same period increased over 100 per cent, is a most creditable showing M R. P I E R C E ’S T A X R E C O R D I t is proper at this point to examine Mr. P ierce’s own record on taxes and see if past actions as a legislator square with hia words O f the $6,376,289 of state taxes for 1922, which include the m illage taxes. M R P IE R C E S P E C IF IC A L L Y HAS APPROVED OP $8.564.03». or 92 per cent H e had no chance at most of the other 8 per cent. O f the 1922 state taxes. Pierce introduced bills accounting for $1,429,126. or IS per cent. In addition to this, he voted for tax bills introduced by others to the amount of $8,1 I V 109, and he has given his public approval on numherlqpn occasions of measures passed since he was returned from the legislatuie causing taxes amounting to $1,020,804. tnakihfe a total of atate taxes approved by Pierce of $8.584.036. or 92 per cent of the total 1992 T h ere is no telling how much of the remainder he m ight have approved if he had had a chance, and It may be significant that the state taxes have decreased over 11 per cent since Mr. Pierce was retired from the State Senate. M r Pierce has always been a consistent tax booster H e voted against only three per cent of all the appropriations of the 1919 session of the legislature and voted for all the appropria tions of the 1920 special session. In 1917 Mr. Pierce introduced • bill to exem pt money, notee. m ortgages and accounts from taxation. Y et he poses as being anxious to take the burden o ff real estate! H e voted fo r submission o f $400,000 bond isaue to build a new penitentiary. Mr. Olcott, at no T A X expense and with prison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary in excellent shape for another 25 years. Mr Pierce voted against accepting road m a chinery from the government T h a t machinery now amounts in value to $1,800,000. G O V E R N O R O L C O T T ’S R E C O R D T h e above are but a few of the extravagances of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has conducted the business of the stste in an eco nomical, sane and business-like manner. He has saved the state thousands of dollars because o f his level hesdedness end hit intimate knowl edge of state affairs H e built a new Boys’ Industrial School Building by diversion o f a m illage fund, and therefore, without a single cent additional tax He has insisted upon devel opment of the various state farms connected with the state institutions until the present year shows the unprecedented income from this source of $481,311. H e is no talker, no politi cian, no idle promisor and is not seeking re-elec tion under false pretenses nor cstsnng to preju dice. but is going to the people on his own splendid record, confident that If he can but got that record and M r Pisrcs's record before the voters of Oregon that he w ill be vindicated on •lection day, Tueeday, Now. 7th.
