to them and their personal credit
was extended almost indefinitly.
During the hard times of a few
years ago when the prices of stock
were low, it was -within his power
to hreak large numbers of stock
men, and take advantage of con
ditions, and several of the stock
men offered to let him have their
stock for his claim against them,
but he helped them through the
hard times and today those same
men are among the leading stock
men in Eastern Oregon.
This is the sort of a man whose
friends have virtually forced him
into the race for republican nomi
nation for State Treasurer.
Invidious comparisons are al
ways odious, hut the records can
speak. IJavc the worthy gentle
men who oppose h.ni in the race
very much to offer as against a
life-record like this? .Not that we
have heard of.
Mr. Aitkin has made money for
his company and money for his
bank but it has all been legitimate
and clean money; not one cent of
it having been wrung from the dis
tressed and poverty-stricken, -the
pauper and the widow.
Mr. Aitkin proposes an amend
ment forcing the state hoard, the
interest to he paid to the state,
Tli in may be harking back to the
strenuous days of the ancient
Spartans, but it is honest and the
people know it. All Mr. Aitkin
desires is the Hat salary paid by
the Stale for his services not the
immense ''graft" gathered in In
state Treasurer in the way of
interest on personal deposits of
money, really the money of tin
state, and no part of their personal
prerogatives.
There is no question but that the
people will stand squarely anil
firmly by a man of Mr. Aitkin's
character if they can only know it
in time. That is why this paper is
earnestly cautioning its readers to
scan closely the past records of the
various candidates and decide for
themselves who among them all
bits proven himself the real friend
of the people.
eloquently hinted at in the caption
of hint week's editorial in (lie Jour
nal. Madras I'loin-er.
The Journal has no desire to
stir up a sectional fight over the
nomination for eommissionership.
That was not the intent of the
editorial apearing in these column
two weeks ago, and it is not now
believed that there are any grounds
for the under current of feeling
expressed in the quoted matter
from the Pioneer.
The Journal's wish is to see a
western Crook county man nomi
nated and elected On the Republic
an ticket to the otlice of commis
sioner. That section of the county
is more entitled to representation
at thin time than any other, and
the candidate who receives the
nomination should be granted the
hearty support of both the district
lying north and the one lying
south of Crooked river. There
should be no hamstrung quiibbles
over this point.
But the Pioneer's didactic asser
tions revolve around the fact that
The Journal has made favorabic
mention of .Mr. Bayley as the
logical candidate for the nomina
tion. Vlf there is any doubt about
the matter, The Journal wishes to
emphasize the fact that the
Pioneer's assumptions relative to
the position of this paper concern
ing the eommissionership a r e
exactly right.
Mr. Bayley was chosen as a
candidate by n joint delegation
which met at Redmond. The
whole of western Crook county was
interested in that particular meet
ing and this paper assumed as a
logical sequence that the voice of
that meeting expressed the wishes
of the district particularly interest
ed. The Madras country was not
overlooked or slighted. In fact it
was through the instrumentality
of some of the voters in ihe Madras
district that the meeting was held.
The Journal has no personal
feeling whatever in the matter.
Mr. Fisher is a large hind owner
and without doubt would make
equally as good a commissioner as
Mr. Bayley. There is no gain
saying that. It is not a question
of individual worth or ability, but
instead the demonstration of the
northern half of western Crook
county indirectly sanctioning the
candidacy of one man and then
throwing its support to another.
The right to do this is not question
ed. Likewise it does not appeal to
The Journal as keen logic that the
Pioneer should take this paper to
task for making favorable mention
of a candidate who was indirectly
assured the support of the Madras
distaict itself.
John H. Atkin for Treasurer.
It ito lie remembered, and parti
cularity by those religiously and
charatibly inclined, that Hon. John
II. Aitkin of Huntington now seek
ing nomination on the Republican
ticket for State Treasurer, has liber
ally assisted more calls upon public
charitv than anv man in Kastern
''Because the west side of the
county is entitled to representa
tion in the county court. Be
cause he is acquainted with the
needs of the people in the , matter
of roads and bridges and because
he will represent the entire county
as well as the western part. Be
cause he is a man who has made
a success of his own affairs ami
this gives promise of success in'
county busincf-s. Because he is a
property owner and will not reck
lessly expend the people's money.
Because he is honest, fair pro
gressive and careful."
The voters at the primaries on
April "JO should remember Mr.
Bayley with a large vote. Bend

Hearing Before State Land Board.
The' State hand Board met in
special session last Friday to hear
a statement of Judge Senaca Smith,
attorney for the Columbia South
em Irrigating Company, relative
to the failure of the company to
comply with the order of the Board
to submit its rules and regulations
for the sale of land and the dis
tribution of water to settlers on or
before March lit). Judge Snith
stated to the Land Board in effect
the company could not and would
not obey the order in so far as it
fixed the amount of water to be
supplied to each acre of land dur
ing the irrigating season at 1.8
feet,
Questioned by Treasurer Moore
regarding the company's ability to
supply sullicicnt water for irrigat
ing purposes, Judge Smith stated
there was no question but that
there was ample water to supply
more than that amount this sea
son, but that the company object-
I eft to adopting the rule, even
though it was understood that the
