In this campaign, Walter Pierce has gone about the country melo-dramatically tearing tax bills in two by way of illustrating what he will do to taxes if elected. The voter, then, should analyze the tax mat ter to tho extent of becoming informed as to just what part the governor plays in imposing or reducing taxes. In the first place, the voter should knpw that the total levy in Oregon for 1922 is $40,473,900. This 1 a reduction of over $1,500,000 from last year, so that it will be seen the high cost of government following the war is already reced ing. Of this 1922 levy of 40 million, over "31 mil lion was for county, city and school district purposes, over which the governor could have no possible control whatever. Of the remaining 9 million for state purposes, only VL million are taxes over which the legis lature has any discretion, and of this amount only 3J4 million are for the actual expenses ot state government and might, therefore, in even the remotest degree, be charged to the methods employed by the governor in administering tho state's affairs. In passing, it should be noted that this state levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1918, 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. Olcott's administration. This ability to keep down tho 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. MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD It is proper at this point to examine Mr. Pierce's own record on taxes and see if past actions as a legislator square with his words. Of the $9,376,289 of state taxes for 1922, which include the mJUage taxes, MR. PIERCE SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OF $8,564,039, or 92 per cent. He had no chance at most of the other S per cent Of the 1923 state taxes. Pierce introduced bills accounting for $1,429,126, or 15 per cent. In addition to this, he voted for tax bills introduced by othr to the amount of $0,114,- Vote for Olcott for GOVERNOR REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WALTER L. TOOZE, Chairman. Tho Owyhee P. T. A. held its an nual election of otflcers at the school house Friday afternoon resulting in Mrs. Robert Elliot being chosen for president, Mrs. Fred Kllngback, vice president; Mrs. C. Rlppey, secretary. and Mrs. J. W. Kygar, treasurer. The association greatly appreci ated tho report on the teachers' in stitute doings given by Mrs. Ruth Klinefelter, our capable school mis tress, in a very complete and inter esting manner. The P. T. A. also expresses itself as deeply grateful to tho Institute gathering for going on record as favoring the elimination and control of tho use of tobacco by minors and favoring a law assisting teachers in stamping out this use less and despicable habit. Plans were made at the mooting for a Hallowe'en party and program to be presented on Saturday evening, Nor. 14, this date being chosen so as not to conflict with the P. T. A. meet ing and discussion ot initiative meas ures to be held at tho Kolony on Friday evening, Nov. 3, as many from this district desire to attend both affairs. Mitchell Butte was the scene of a merry gathering Sunday. .A large number of people spent the day there. Rev. Chas. Blom of Ontario, kept his monthly appointment here Sun day. Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Dewltt went to Adrian vicinity to get a team recenly purchased by John Rust, Sunday. W. W. Smith has been sick with an ulcerated tooth and Mrs. Smith has been ill for several days.

Wm. Stack of the Bend, rounded up a bunch of his cattle from this district last week. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Glascock went to Ontario Monday to bring home their little daughters Viola and Thel ma who were visiting their aunt, Store Governor governor bases his candidacy on certain elected, the public is entitled to have his 109, and he has given his public approval on numberless occasions of measures passed since he was returned from the legislature causing taxes amounting to $1,020,804, making a total of state taxes approved by Pierce of $8,564,038, or 92 per cent of the total 1922. There Is no telling how much of the remainder he might 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. ' Mr. Pierce has always been a consistent tax booster. He 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 a bill to exempt money, notes, mortgages and accounts from taxation. Yet he poses as being anxious to take the burden off real estate! He voted for submission of $400,000 bond issue to build a new penitentiary. Mr. Olcott, at no TAX expense and with Erison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary i excellent shape for another 25 years. Mr. Pierce voted against accepting road ma chinery from the government That machinery now amounts in value to $1,800,000. GOVERNOR OLCOTT'S RECORD The above are but a. few of the extravagances of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has conducted the business of the state in an eco nomical, sane and business-like manner. He has saved the state thousands of dollars because of his levelheadedness and his Intimate knowl edge of state affairs. He built a new Boys' Industrial School Building by diversion of a millage 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 $491,511. He is no talker, no politi cian, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-election under false pretenses nor catering to preju dice, but is going to the people on his own splendid record, confident that if he can but get that record and Mr. Pierce's record before the voters of Oregon that he will be vindicated on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7th.
