dear friend, if there waa a projected

which you would realize quite a aum;
wouldn't-you be for it? I think you
woukl. Aa for graft we have that with

wouki try to beat you. You would use
your good sense to forestall them. We
can do the same in this case.
The .bond issue merely determines
whether the money shall be spent in a
haphazard way, as in the past, or
whether it shall, as in other states, be
»pent in a modern business like way.
Everybody knows how the method we
have been using has failed; a shovelful
of dirt here, a culvert there and an
apronful of gravel some other place,
and atill the average Oregon road is im
passible half the year. What dee could
be expected?
A days drive over most of the roada
we have now is more tiresome than
plowing all day. My husband has done
both and ought to know. The result 1s,
we, with hundreds of others, stay home
for half the year and never buy the
things we would have bought had we
gone out.
To thoee^who havn’t machines; Every
automobile owner will vote for the
bonds; since they won't cost you a pen

more people offering these things than

commission, not st all inclined to take
th«* public interest into consideration.
The reason a public service cor|>ors
tioo raises wages is not from charity,
and not because of profits. It raises
wag.*« when it has to do so to retain its
efficient men.
That's what as well as "what's what."
Han Francisco pays much better wages
than the Portland Railway Ught aud
Power Company on its municipal road,
and has an eight hour day. and makes a
profit of 60 per cent on ita passenger
business.
There is good grounds for believing
that the P. R. L. A P. concern can
operate for 1.E8H than Han Francisco
since its electric juice costa it nothing
whatever for water power, the gougbing

on private light and power paying for
that.
If the Portland people want better
service, snd the employees of the trans
portation combine want better pay, let
them both get together and vote for
! publie ownership.
It costs less to own the public utilities
than to have them own the town.
If the jit is driven out of the town
people will buy more automobiles,
mortorcyciee and go-devils of various
kinds.
Thst sort of thing is what is getting
under the hide of the transportation
combine, and not the few little, half
starved, slyly persecuted little jitneys.
| They cut very little ice in the transpor-
. tation problem.
They can lie driven off the streets en
mass in three daya by giving the people
eight street car tickets for a quarter.
Why don’t the tinterrified, unin
fluenced, unboeaed, free and independ
ent, suffering, harrowing, and woe-
ridden street car employees advocate
eight tickets for a quarter?
The company would make MORE
money that way, and tie rid of the jit
neys, too.
Since its pay rolls are charity it would
increase its charities if ita income were
1 more.

VOTE AGAINST TELEPHONE INTERCHANGE
Mr. and Mrs. Miller French, of Pos-
som Trot Farm, I.aFayette, Pre., visit
ed in 1-ents the first of the week, the
guests of Mrs. Minnie Hyde, of the
"Herald.’’
Because of the effort which is being
made to increase the amount of corn
gro n in Western Oregon this year it
may be of interest to know that Mr. 1
French last year planted six acres to
corn. When harvested this crop tilled
a .35-ton silo which carried 13 head of
cattle and three horses through the
Winter, only a small amount of hay be-;
ing used in addition as roughage. In
addition to that which went into the
silo there remained a sufficient amount
of the corn to fatten 35 hogs. If any
one in Western Oregon has a record to
beat this we would like to know about it. !

During the campaign I have been trying to tell you briefly
of what I consider are my qualifications for Mayor.
If experience right in the Mayor’s office as secretary for
four years, together with a clean record for doing clean things,
plus a pledge to do my best for you in the future, appeals to
your judgment, I respectfully solicit your consideration for a
first, second, or third choice vote.
If you put your faith in me, I will not betray it.
On behalf of Mrs. Warren, our seven children
and myself, I thank you in advance for any
consideration given on election day.

Commissioner Dieck is one of the candidates who
is making no loud promises to solve every ill of the
community which always appear at election time, but
is making a quiet, effective campaign, appealing strong
ly to those who have a real interest in the City’s wel
fare, who believe in a record of experience and train
