soldiers bonus, and on other campaign
material.
The following resolutions were
adopted: . " .
"We believe that the one leading
and paramount question in Oregon is
taxation. No other question approach
es taxation in importance In" every
home. During the last ten years state
taxes have increased. 521 per cent, pop
ulation has increased only 16 per cent
and assessment valuation only 20 per
cent. Ten years ago taxes absorbed
on the average 25 per cent of the rent
al value of land ; today taxes in Oregon
exact a tool on the average of 50 per
cent of the rental value of real estate.
"We deplore the fact that Oregon
and its sub-divisions has issued an au
thorized $188,000,000 in bonds almost
19 per cent of the assessed valuation.
Considering wealth, Oregon is the
most heavily bonded state in the un
ion. All of these burdensome bonds
have been issued in the past five years.
We firmly believe that no more bonds
should be issued in the future except
for an emergency. . .
"Agriculture and industry are break
ing under the strain. Our slogan is :
'Reduction of taxes.
"The public payroll must be "freed
from every official not absolutely es
sential. The most rigid economy must
be practiced in every department of
government. After every possible re
duction of the burden we believe there
should bea readjustment compelling
,all property to pay its Just share." .

stimulatory messages. Among these
are Rev. Dr. Powell of the Divinity

CANDIDATE HALL
ISSUES CAUSTIC
STATEMENT
Insists Olcott Injects Racial And
' Religious Issues Into The
Election Controversy
In answer tft the governor's state
ment concerning the election srotest,
Senator Charles Hall grows eloquently
sarcastic as he pours vials of political
wrath on his opponents head.
After reminding Mr. Olcott that his
appointment came from a democrat
he accuses him of introducing religious
and racial issues into the recent cam
paign and continuing to stimulate re
ligious passion thus endangering Re
publican success at th polls this fall,
and declare thai he (Hall) would not
devote his time thus to emphasizing
racial or religious differences for per
sonal political advantage. ,
Hall reiteratets his endorsement of
the compulsory school measure as
fundamentally American and inquires
where her opponent stands on this
matter. He also accords to him the
right to th support of th Catholic
press, and organizations which he
claims are supporting Olcott. He fur
ther calls on his opponent to desist
from denunciation of various organi
zations, or, if they are illegal, to en
force th law against them.
Warming up to h(is subject still
farther he argues that Olcott does not'
want a recount as, shown by th ac
tion of his attorneys in entering to the
petition for the recount a series of
dilatory pleas, motions to strike and
other technicalities to prevent it.1
Both contestants have thus far
shown a disposition to fight through
the courts the matter to th bitter end.
NEEDY AND UNION
HALL NOT IN CANBY
SCHOOL DISTRICT
At a meeting held in th auditorium
of Canby high school Monday evening
it was decided to eliminate two of the
districts in the proposed union high
school district. These are Needy and
Union Hall. The reason given for this
is mainly the condition of the roads in
winter.
There will be eleven" districts in
cluded in the union district, and a
representative from each district will
be selected and from the eleven there
will be fiv chosen to act as a board
of directors.
The special meeting to be held in
Canby this month is interesting many
and from present indications the vote
cast thereat will be larger At this
meeting it will be definitely .decided
whether a union high school will be
established in Canby.

GOVERNOR OLCOTT
URGES RECOUNT BE
COMPLETE
Declares Klu Klux Organi
zation Is Backing Finan
cially Hall's Recount
WILL COST BIG -SUM
Proposed Recount Designated Prepos
terous Expresses Desire for
Equity Only
Ben W. Olcott, officially declared
nominee for governor, in reply to the
filing of contest proceedings by his
opponent, Charles Hall, whom the re
turns show he defeated by less than
600 votes, insists that th recount
should be complete and not be con
fined to about 500 out of the 1800 pre
cincts of the state. Claim is also
made in the governor's statement that
letters hav been sent out by Hall to
voters suggesting contributions to a
$25,000 fund for the recmt; that.
Ku Klux Klan officials in Portland
and in Pendleton, Ore., have sent out
documents urging- contributions from
members and that Klansmen of the
state of Washington ar urging mem
bers to contribute also to the fund.
Olcott ,in this connection, calls at
tention to the vast resources of the or
ganization and declares that he
has not the means with which to wage
a complete contest in protection of
himself and those who voted for him.
The present official nominee takes
his enemies to task for requiring him
to make investigations in a woek in
order to determine his course after
filing the recount notice, while they
had had 'the services of a score of in
vestigators for several1 weeks.
"It is preposterous," says the state
ment, "to assume that all of the ir
regularities of the th precincts desig
nated for recount would all be detri
mental to Mr. Hall an4 that no irreg
ularities could exist in the 1000 or
more precincts not mentioned in his
petition. However, in justice to the
people of the state, to the plurality
members of the party who participated
in my nomination, as well as to Mr..
Hall and to myself, a recount should
be taken of all the precincts if of any,
and it should be determined definitely
and for all tim who the nominee
actually Is."
And now come the governor's many
friends to his aid. They, too, - are
urging contributions -with which to
make the recount complete. A com
mittee has been formed to receive
funds to defray his expenses in the
recount, with Paul Wallace of Salem
as treasurer.
Misfortune CaIVs
One of the "sad casualties of th
Fifth street fire was the total loss
suffered by Mr. H. Ketclmer, proprie
tor of the confestionery store next to
the laundry. Mr. Ketchner is an elder
ly man, a cripple, and had invested
his entire savings in-the business. A
few months ago he was oBliged to let
his insurance lapse. This means that
he and his wife are entirely without
income. In order to help him to help
himself an effort is being made to
raise sufficient funds to set him up in ,
businoss ' again. All of the banks of
the city have consented to receive
any money that may be given to this"
worthy cause. Great sympathy is felt
for others who also suffered loss in the
fire, but in this instance the inability
of Mr. Ketchner to otherwise make
good his loss makes a special appeal.
It is hoped that the good people of
Oregon City and vicinity will cheer
fully and generously respond.
Business Men Appreciated
Charles S. Dykstra, who has had
charge of petitions for the raising of
money with which - to improve the
Holcomb road, ' takes this means of
expressing appreciation to the busin
ess men of Oregon City for funds sub
scribed and to the Commercial Club
and Clackamas County Business Men's
Association for. encouragement re
ceived in the work of soliciting.
