ELECTION TO BE HELD
NEXT WEEK TUESDAY
STATE, DISTRICT, COUNTY
AND CITY SELECT OFFICIALS
HfflMlS SEEN PROBABLE
With combe and McNary Will Both
Be Rwhnsen Seems To Be The
The Belief At This Time
Next Tuesday there will be elect
ions held for the selection of state,
district, county, and city officials.
Some of these men will be elected
for tow years only, while In some In
stances, six year terms are to be fill
ed. As a general proposition, it teems
poor year tor the man who is seeking
to replace an official who has made
good.
The efforts to defeat Withycombe
There's bareiPec reoetrorSoyatTnrSo
for governor by State Senator Walter
M. Pierce are baring but little effect
in the state at large it is said, and
the governor will succeed himself by
large vote is the prediction that is
being freely made just now.
Senator McNary will no doubt be
elected to succeed himself, although
Oswald West is doing everything in
his power to defeat the senator, re
gardless of the fact that he stated at
' the time McNary was elected that he
should be selected to succeed him
self at this time.
In the county there has been but
little interest in the campaign tip to
the last few days, outside of the act
ivity of the candidates' themselves
and their immediate friends.
The three-cornered contest for sher
iff makes that contest seem uncertain
although each of the three men are
claiming a lead over the other two.
One week from today we will tell you
which one of the three had thi sfig
nred out correctly.
The Caunty Judge contest between
Judg Walace and Col. F. Smith is
growing more spirited every day, and
each of the men believes himself to
be the strongst man in th rac.
Because of the illness of Mrs. Wal
lace, most of the activity in this con
test seems to be left to Mr. Smith.
As in the case of the sheriff con
test, we will tell you all about the
strength of these men next week.
There is no contest on the other coun
ty offices.
The city offices are not much
sought after, and there will be but
little interest in this part of the elect
ion.

DON'T SWAP HORSES
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS
HENCE a general election will
be held in Oregon. It is the du
ty of the electorate of this state
to return Senator McNary and
Representatives McArthur, Haw
ley and Slnnott to congress and
to keep James Withycombe in
the governor's chair.
Each of these five men has
proved himself 100 per cent. Am
erican, 100 per cent, efficient in
every war work, and 100 per
cent, loyal to the administration
In its war aims. Each of them
has been weighed and found not
wanting.
The next two years will be a
most critical period in the his
tory of this nation. Obviously,
it is the part of prudence to re
tain tried and true men in offic
ial capacity. This is no time for
new and inexperienced men.
Keep those who in every way
are known to be trustworthy.
Don't swap horses in the middle
of the stream.

REFERRED BY THE STATE TAX COMMISSION
Certificate of Necessity for Increase In State Tax Levy for
1010
(Issued under authority of Chapter 160 Laws of 1917) '
s.
STATE OF OREGON,
County of Marlon
We, the undersigned, constituting the State Tax
Commission of Oregon, hereby certify that In our opinion
it is necessary to, levy an amount of State taxes for the
fiscal year 1919 larger by $940,000.00 than the amount
limited by the Constitution of Oregon, unless specifically
authorized by a vote of the people.
From careful Investigation we believe that the pro
posed specific Increase of the State levy of taxes tor 1919
Is necessary that deficiency debts Incurred for mainte
nance of State Institutions and departments may be paid,
that Increased cost of necessary labor and supplies during
the ensuing blennlum may be anticipated, that unavoid
able obligations In war emergencies may be met and that
the credit of the State may be preserved. The amount
specified is estimated as equivalent to an average levy of
one mill on the dollar of the total assessed valuation of
the State for the current year.
WITNESS our hands and the seal of the State Tax
Commission the seventeenth day of September, 1918.
