agement was good or fairly good, I
would keep out of it.
But now an .emergency exists fin
ancially:
We are paying higher taxes on smal
ler incomes, with an increasing bur
den of debt
I am convinced that there are
enough taxpayers in the county who
know the situation and believe with
me that new life and efficiency, care
ful economical organization will give
efficiency and impetus to road work
thereby saving much money and that
they do not believe this can be done
by perpetuating the present condi
tions. I think the majority of the vot
ers also realize that politics and road
building should be separated as far
as possible; and instead of decisions
being largely influenced from a vote
counting standpoint, they should rath
er be governed by good road policies.
I believe it is the official duty of
any man holding an office wherein
he is the" guardian of public funds,
to be as careful in their expenditure
as he would be with his own .and
even more so; and that he should dil
ligently endeavor to learn all the facts
both for and against every measure
of expense before making it.
I believe in courtesy; it is cheaper
than discourtesy. It places a lighter
tax on a man's good nature.
I will not shuffle off the smoke of
good fellowship and haul on the arm
or of dictators ..fter election; but
will remain as your humble servant
ever ready and willing to join you
in the solution of your tax problems.

WHY A CANDIDATE?
Why am I a candidate for the of
fice of county commissioner of Clack
amas county?
Because i nave always practiced
economy. I have never taken busi
ness lessons worth mentioning.
As a road builder of 12 years ex
perience and careful study, I can see
where in most cases if there were
well laid plans much more could be
accomplished than is now accomplish
ed in road construction as well as
better quality of roads.
Ordinarily I could not be persuaded
to make this run; if the county man-
THE PEOPLE'S SAY
Clackamas. Or., March 13.
Editor Banner-Courier Have been
asked to write a- short article as to
why I am opposed to the income tax.
All right.
1. I Contend that it is morally
wrong to tax industry. Privilege is
that which should be taxed.
2. I contend that to let conditions
exist that will allow such huge in
comes to accumulate as are being ac
cumulated by many individuals and
some corporations is morally wrong
and by taxing these incomes will not
in the least tend to remove these
conditions. It will simply be a li
cense for these people to make larg
er incomes and to shift the extra
burden to the workers as this tax will
be reflected in higher prices to the
consumer and in lower wages to the
producers.
An income tax would be identical
to the system that used to exist in
regard to licensing the saloon, the
source of the greatest vice and moral
degredation that the nation ever
knew. Gigantic licenses were heap
ed upon the saloon, some for revenue
only and many with a view of elim
inating or diminishing their number.
But did these gigantic licenses . elim
inate one single saloon ? You ans
wer it. The result was that the li
cense was passed on to the consum
er in thinner and more poisonous
liquor. Not . until the people awak
ened to their moral duties and obli
gations and stopped the manufacture
and sale of the vile stuff, did the sa
loon disappear, and thus was elim
inated one of the most powerful mor
al, social and political evils of our
government
The same conditions will follow in
the wake of an income tax the une
qual distribution - of wealth will
still exist which causes sorrow, pov
erty and moral degradation.
My idea is to begin now to try to
eliminate the conditions that produce
unjust taxation and that permits the
accumulation of unreasonable for
tunes. Why spend more time, ener
gy and money in chasing fairies.
Years of time, energy and piles of
money were spent in trying to re
move the liquor evil. But once the
people recognized their moral duty,
the evil was short lived. Just so
with the tax evil.
Just- a word about the tax reduc
tion club meetings. At today's meet
ing Chris Schuebel said, "That equal
assessments was the key to lower
taxation." It's a concrete fact that
the only way to reduce taxation' is to
reduce expenses, and Chris says that
"We cannot eliminate any of the bur
dens and commissions" that are eat
ing us up. What do you say? I say
we can and we will live longer and
happier without them.
Now, Mr. Editor, I am going to
make a prediction. I predict "that
this what we will get from the con
vention next Monday: A recommen
dation for an initiative amendment
for a state graduated income tax,
which will not reduce taxes one iota;
an amendment (without teeth) to re
duce the millage taxes for O. A. C.
and U. of O. The next legislature
will appropriate the deficiency no
reduction in taxes. No recommen
dation to consolidate or abolish any
commissions. Still no reductions in
taxes.

"Do you want the sholders pad
ded?" askedi the tailor of a mother
who was buying a suit for her boy.
"No, mamma," pleaded-iier son, "tell
him to pad the knickerbockers."
Advertisements are funny things
sometimes, as for example these
which were all actually printed:
"I will make coats, caps and boas
for ladies out of thei rown skins."
"I want a noverseer who can take
care of 5000 sheep; who can 'speak
French fluently."
"I will sell a fiddle of old wood
that I made out of my own head and
I have wood left "enough for anoth
er." "Responsible young woman wants
washing."
