"THE LOTTERY MAN." Brightest of Comedies at Shive ley's Saturday Night, Nov. 2. After one has seen "The Lot tery Man" it can be easily under stood why the stage is running to comedies. The Messrs. Shubert produced this gomedy early last fall, brought it to New York after a brief road tour and it tfas re mained on Broadway, at the Bi jou theatre, for practically the entire season. Herbert Thayer, who used to play in musical com edy and later was starred in sev eral well known dramatic succes es, is the "lottery man" in quest ion. He is surrounded by an ex cellent cast. The comedy, which is by Rida Johnson Young will be seen for the first time in this city at Shively's Opera House November 2. The principal figure in the play is a newspaper reporter, Jack Wright. He is hard pressed for immediate cash and appeals to his chief, Foxy Payton, owner of the paper, to help him out. Pay ton makes an advance and loses all of it on the stock market. As security he has -. pledged to turn in to Payton one of the biggest "scoops" the paper has ever known. So Wright-' proceeds to "make good." He announces a lottery with himself as the prize. "But," says the cautious news paper owner, "a lottery is against the law." "The law says" explains Wright, "that you cannot give away a capital prize. In our case the prize will give itself away." The first day the paper makes the announcement thousands of uld maids rush the office. Wright is eager to proceed with the scheme as money is literally rolling in. Meantime he falls in love with Helen Heyer and the agony he suffers when as he ex plains the first women he meets on the street may claim him as her husband may be immagined. The plot is entirely original and is worked out in Mrs . Young's most entertaining style. The New York papers fairy raved over the bright situation. The fact that the comedy remained in New York for so long a time is one of the best recommendations. FROM GOVERNOR WEST. Explains What Will. Become of Half Million Appropriation.

U'Ren's Debate with mr. Shields. What Is Your View? The Courier doesn't propose to dictate to the council of this city their business, but this matter of renewing the" franchise of the P. R. L & P. Co. is one that should be taken very slow and played safe. Franchises are valuable city assets, and a thirty year franchise is orfe that asks a lot asks for granting of concessions that probably not a man on the coun cil will live to see expire. The council should be fair to both the city and the railroad in this matter, consider all points and play slow. And by the way, if any of your readers want to express your op inions on this matter, the Cour ier opens its columns to you. The franchise is as much yours as anyone's. Money to Loan. Oregon City Abstract Co., 617 Main street. 'Today- 2,500 lan dmonopolists of Oregon pay one-third of the taxes and the farmers and labor ers two-thirds. We believe the graduated single tax will reverse this order." "There are three classes ! that practically are not taxed now, the water powers, the railroads , and the franchises. If the graduated specific tax is not hard enough to reach them we 11 make it harder." It has taken twenty years to put the boss out of Oregon, but the boss is out. They don't sell U. S. senators at Salem now." If Mr. Shield is acting as a missionary for the people, why don't he go to Canada, where Am ericans are uocKing, and don t know any better than to think it good?" Taxes nave steadily increased for the past 50 years, and have more than doubled in the past six years. The graduated single tax can't be worse." ; "The water power companies are making irom $5iu,uui) to $600,000 per year from water powers, we propose iney snail pay $250,000 a year into Clacka- .,,',t,r " ' "When a man earns a dollar he should have that dollar, and he should not have a dollar unless ho does earn it."

Clyde, Oregon City. STANDS FFOR WHAT THE PEO PLE STAND FOR. Outline of What He Pledges Him self to Work for at Salem. Every candidate for the Legis lature should be able to give a reason why the people of his dis trict should cast their votes for him at the coming election and also let the voters know what he stands for and what he will en deavor to do if elected to the Leg islature. With this object in view I wish to submit the following facts to the voters of Clackamas County. As the law now stands it is im possible for a farmer to burn slashings and clear land between June 1st and Oct. 1st. In 1911 the Legislature appropriated $8,400 for special deputy game and fire wardens. These fire wardens are employed by the State at the ex pense of the tax payers to pro tect the timber lands owned by the S. P. Ry. Co. and other timber barons. I have prepared a bill that every road supervisor shall be ex-offic-io a fire warden in his district and shall have the privilege of issuing permits for the purpose of clear ing lands between Juno 1st. and Oct. 1st. In 1911 the Legislature passed a law providing for three school supervisors in Clackamas county. This costs the tax payers of Clackamas County about $3,600 which I consider a useless ex penditure, and should be repeal ed. In 1909 a bill was passed by the Legislature providing that all water power appropriated "AF TER THE PASSAGE OF THIS ACT" should pay ; a license fee annually of from 25 cents to $2. 000 per horse power, In 1911 another law was passed which contained a "joker of a similar nature in the interests of all wat er power appropriated prior to May 22, 1909. The Portland Ry. Light & Power Co. has appropri ated more than 250,000 horse power in Clackamas County but because of the "Jokers" in the bills of 1909 and 1911 they escape paying a license fee on nearly all of this water-power. On January 1st, 1912 they paid $2021.81 as a license fee and if they were com pelled to pay in the same man ner as other persons appropriat ing water after May 22, 1909, they would have to pay $62,500, thereby cheating the State of Ore gon out of $60,478.19 for water power inClackamas county annu ally until this bill is amended. I have, prepared a bill which provides that every person ap propriating water for power pur poses shall pay a license fee of not less than 50 cts or more than $2.00 for horse power per. an num. If this bill becomes a law it will compel - the- Portland Ry. Light & Power Co. to pay $125, 000 annually for water approp riated in Clackamas county alone. Water power is one of the greatest natural resources that the people of Clackamas county have, and at the present time there is over 300,000 horse power appropriated in our county. Under the present law water power can not be assessed and therefore es cape taxation. , I have prepared a bill which provides that all water power and franchise values shall pay taxes in the same manner as other property. If this bill becomes a law it will add at least $15,000, 000 to the tax roll in Clackamas county for water power alone. Under the present law Mutnomah county is collecting taxes on over $1,000,000 ot property located in Clackamas county. This will also be remedied by the same bill and Clackamas county will collect taxes will collect taxes on all the property located within its boundaries. Proper protection for the lab oring men is one of the most ser ious problems ,. confronting the American people- today. I have prepared a bill that provides no man shall be compelled to work for more than 10 hours in oife day and not to exceed 60 hours in one week in any mill or manu facturing establishment ii the State of Oregon. There will also be submitted to the coming session of the Legis lature a compulsory compensat ion act which will protect the laboring men and will give them their rights in case of accident without the expense of employing an attorney or going into the Courts. I shall do all in my power if elected to the Legislature to pass these laws and protect tho laboring men in their rights. A great many uselebs and un necessary commissi.iiis have- been created in the past. The last Leg islature appropriated over $5,i0 0,000. which is far in excess of what should be necessary to run the affairs of our State. I shall do all in my power to cut oil 'use less commissions and reduce the expenses of our State govern ment. If the above measures meet with your approval I. would great ly appreciate your support at the coming election. Respectfully yours, C. SCHUEBEL. (Paid Adv.).
