JAMES WITHYCOMBE.
LIBERTY BONDS SHOULD ,
BE HELD BY PURCHASER
WITHYCOMBE ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY FOR SECOND TERM
L
One who subscribes for a Liberty
bond and gets credit as a patriot for
doing so is not acting patriotically
if he immediately sells- that bond,
that is, unless he imperatively needs
the money, says Secretary McAdoo.
It is not the mere subscription that
helps the government, it is the actu
al loan; shifting the bond to some ont
else does not help.
The same objection lies to ex
changing Liberty Loan bonds in
trade. , Merchants offering to take
Liberty loan bonds in exchange for
merchandise are doubtessly actuated
by patriotic motives, but such trans
actions tend, to defeat a primary ob
ject of the bond sale, the encourag
ing of thrift and the discouraging of
expenditures. Bonds so exchanged
are in most cases immediately sold on
the open market which tend to de
press the market price and affects
adversely the sales of future .issues.
Secretary McAdoo expressly states
that there is no desire on .the part of
the government to prevent or inter
fere with legitimate trading, in good
faith, in Liberty bonds. ,
It is one of the great objects of
the treasury department to have
these bonds' held as permanent in
vestments by the people and paid foi
out of savings, thus at once provid
ing funds for1. the government and
conserving labor and material.
There are the soundest reasons for
holding Liberty . bonds. Their quota
tions under par onthe stock exchange
means a loss only to those who sell.
The financial history of the United
States shows that in times of peace
all of its borfds have gone above par,
some as high as . 139. The' tremen
duous growth of our resources and of
our trade, our domestic trade alone
having increased from $30,000,000,000
to $64,000,000,000 . in the last four
years, warrants the belief that our
government bonds are the soundest
investments in the world and with
the restoration of peace conditions
will command a handsome premium
in the market. ,;

primaries in May to succeed him

form: ' -
"If the people of Oregon are of
the opinion that I have served-them
faithfully, I should be pleased to re
ceive a vote of confidence at tneir
hands. j ,

ed with the people and have done all
in my power to promote the develop
ment of the state, to bring about the
construction of good , roads, to em
phasize the importance of education
and especially to maintain at white
heat the devotion of the people to
the great cause of liberty. and de
mocracy for which the country is
fighting. If re-elected I shall con
tinue to do everything I can to ac
complish these ends.
"Oregon- has given twenty thou
sand of her sons to the great world
war. These men are the flower of
our young manhood and we have no
clearer duty than that of loyally
supporting them, providing for- their
health and comfort and safeguard
ing their morals. I shal continue to
render them every service in my
power. ' . - . .,.'.
"Under our form of government
the conduct of a foreign war devolves
on the president of the United States,
who is commander-in-chief of ' the
army nd navy. I shall do every
thing in my power to assist the presl
dent in making the power of this
country effective in the great world
conflict. I shall particularly exer
cise every power and authority which
I possess to promote a maximum ef
ficiency in our local industries which
are related to the war activities. No
other duty is so pressing or at this
time so important as that of win
ning the war. No sacrifice is too
great if it looks to the triumph of
the forces battling for international
righteousness.

the past, for rigid law enforcement
and for a cleaner and greater Oregon.
"Oregon is firmly committed to the
principles of prohibition and equal

to give these causes my full support.
"Every legitimate phase of state
development should be supported, but
at this time when our country is en
gaged in the most terrible war in the
world's history the most rigid econ
omy in state expenditure should be
observed.

magnitude to be worked out for the

closest possible economy. 1
"Domestic tranquility and business

the public welfare. I shall do all in
my power to promote them. I note
with pleasure the growing disposi

w '.'On Friday "drop into any Italian
restaurant in the Little Italyof our

was mistaken. Baccala is just our
old-fashioned covntry-store codfish;
but it reaches the table .disguised in

the cause of the conflagration. The
hall was burned early , on Sunday
morning, following a dance and com

No one was. able to account for the
fire, and as the place was known as
the German hall, and was the social
center for the community, -it was
thought by the owners that some over
zealous patriot bad burned the place.
The officer's conclusion's were that
the building ignited from the fire in
the stove, which the owner admits
was not extinguished at the time of
leaving the hall.
