"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.
Executive Dept., Salem. ;
Editor .Courier: ;
Inasmuch as this office is being
repeatedly asked as to what will
become of the $500,000.00 appro
priation made by the last legis
lature for the University of Ore
gon, and now held up by the ref
erendum, should the proposed
millage tax bill for the support of
the University of Oregon and the
Oregon Agricultural College car
ry, I wish to make the following
statement for the information of
your readers.
if the proposed nnllage tax bill
( No 320 on the ballot) carries it
will kill this $500,000.00 approp
riation ana me money, aireatiy
raised through taxation and in
the hands of the State Treasurer.
will revert to the General Fund
and be available for other pur
poses". ; 5'. ,- ...
The millage tax bill abolishes
the two boards of regents and the
Board of , Higher Curricula and
nuts both institutions under one
board.
It is a well known fact that at
least one-fourth of the time of
Uie members of the legislature is
taken up wrangling over the ap
propriations for these institut
ions. The millage tax bill will
keep them away from the legis
lature and take theifTout of poli
tics,, i. t

WHY SCHUEBEL
SHOULD
A FEW HOT ONES
Scoring Points In W. 8. 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.

'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

"When a man earns a dollar he

Harvey Starkweather gets $60,-

build buildings. All the farms in
Clackamas county are not worth

"We are out"for the fellows who
work for what they get; the Oth
ers can take care of themselves."
The corporations file two re
ports with state tax commission,
one to keep rates up, another to
keep taxes down. The railroads
want to exact earnings on a cost
of $96,000 a mile when the cost
was $46,000."
"Of all the millionaires and
rich men in Oretron. I know but
one who is in favor of single tax."

Case of Unusual Interest
The case of Laura Ripley Mack
vs. F. L. Mack heard before Hon.
U. Campbell last Saturday was
of unusual interest in this that
all the attorneys who reside in
Gladstone were in the case. The
plaintiff was represented by Mes.
crs. Cross and Hammond and the
defendant appeared . by Sievers,
Fischer and beivers.
The plaintiff was granted a di
vorce on grounds of cruel and
inhuman treatment, brie was
awarded the care and .custody of
he two minor children, both
boys, Lawrence Ripley Mack, aged
and Charles Robert Mack, ages
six and one-half and five years.
The family came here from Havre,
Montana, a little over a year ago,
and have 'been living on a forty
acre tract of ground about four
miles from Sandy, Oregon.

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.
