KEEP HIM ON THE RUN.
Our armies have been steadily forcing the Germans hack.
On those o f us at home rests the duty of keeping a never ending
stream of supplies pouring to the front.
Now is the time to redouble our efforts and never give the enerav
a chance to catch his breath.
An over-subscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan may be the
blow from which the Huns will never recover.
Lets give it to them double, one defeat after another at the front
and one Liberty Loan after another at home.
While we have him on the run never give him a chance to make
another stand.
Do your part, buy to the limit.
Why all this fuss from the Port
land Journal concerning advertise
ment rates for newspapers, and the
delinquent tax publication?
Why these two measures on the
ballot at the general election, bear
ing the bold salutation: “ Initiated by
C. S. Jackson and R. W. Hagood.’ ’
W hy Messrs. Jackson & Hagood?
For weeks Editor Jackson has
been raging over his two pet meas
ures. For weeks the editorial page of
the Journal has literally run red with
* murderous attack on two Oregon
statutes that appear to be a great
source of worry to Messrs. Jackson
£ Hagood.
One is the existing delinquent tax
publication law. The other target for
the Journal’s wrath is the existing
law fixing the rates for legal adver
tising for the State of Oregon.
Both laws have been regularly
passed by the state legislature. They
have stood the tests of time. They
were devised for public service and
have fulfilled their mission. Both
laws are patterned after similr.r
statutes in adjoining states. The
rates of publication In both laws, are
as low, if not lower, than charges
fixed in nearly all of the states of the
union. No one questions the state
ment that as long a s we have courts
and la w 3 , there must be legal publi
cation; no one for a moment will
contend that a delinquent tax-payer
should not be notified of his delin
quency.
Then why the editorial barrage
each evening in the Portland Jour
nal?
Listen folks— it’ s a secret.
Once upon a time Editor Jackson
boosted for single tax in Oregon.
Once he wailed much in the fashion
of his present sobbing, but the voters
o f the state heeded not. And the
press of the state heeded not. And
the press of Oregon pok'-d consider
able fun at Mr. Jackson, which riled
him exceedingly.
And again once upon a time Ed
itor Jackson awoke to find that the
Multnomah county delinquent tax
list publication had been legally
awarded to his esteemed contempor
aries, The Oregonian and The Even
ing Telegram. Whereupon Million
aire Jackson again gnashed his teeth
and hissed "revenge!”
And now comes the revenge. It’s to
be a double-barreled buck-shot re
venge, too, if Brother Jackson's
scheme is carried out In accordance
with his well-laid plans. It’s timed
and all planned to the minute, and
the "zero” hour is set for election
day, November 5th. 1918. It’s to be
a much heralded and mighty drive on
the newspapers of Oregon, with
Messrs. Jackson A Hagood at the
head of the big push. It's advertised
almost as much as a certain other
big drive in history. It may he as
disastrous.
The voters of the slate are open to
argument but they refuse to be co
erced at Mr. Jackson’s bidding,
knowing the petty spitework ,behind
his plans. Indications are that they
will vote a most emphatic “ NO” to
each of tbe Jackson-Hagood tnean-
ures. They believe the newspapers
have a right to live; they know the
splendid work of the Oregdn press
in supporting the war activities and
loan drives without recompense;
they know that publication costs
have gone skyward, and that rates
should be raised, rather than lower-
«d , if the newspapers of the state
are to survive. So much for the legal
rate bill.
They naturally suspect the attorn
ey's part in the delinquent tax bill
They know that attorneys and tax
title grabbers are close pals as a rule,
and they know that the scheme Jack-
son & Hagood. the lawyer, propose,
would throw the delinquent taxpayer
entirely upon the mercies of the title
grabber. Jackson would provide de
linquency notice by mail. The exist
ing law provides the very same thing,
but goes a step further, in the inter
est of the unfortunate owner whose
property has become delinquent and
provides that only upon failure of
the mail notice, shall publication be
made. The voters know that Jackson
has forgotten to mention this fact in
his argument. They know, too, that
the present law is fashioned to pro
tect the unfortunate delinquent from
the tax title grabbei1 and others of
his type, and they will refuse point
blank to support such a scheme.

The Non-Pnrtii>an League is growing in strength in the North
west ^tnd is reaching down to Kansas. Its leaders look forward to
winning three or four states in the next congressional elections. Our
quarrel with the Non-Partisan League is not ><> much that it has been
accused o f pacifism and specific pro-Germanism or that its chief
organizer, Mr. Townley. has made speeches which sounded seditious,
but that it openly arrays one class against another class, lining up
the farmer against the mill owner and the banker and the manu
facturer. A co-operative effort among the farmers is a splendid
thing. Hut the policy of the Non-Partisan League savors too much
o f the class war which in itself is war against democracy. If the
league is to benefit the farmer it must clear itself of this suspicion.—
