.MEREDITH
CLACKAMAS
ARRESTED
FARMER
P. M. Meredith, prominent Clacka
mas county farmer, recently told two
ML Pleasant school boys, R. G. and
Eugene Osburn, that the thrift stamp
plan was only a Wall Street scheme
to rob the common people. He made
several other statements to the boys,
advising them to quit the work at
once and Immediately dispose of
what stamps they had purchased for
themselves.
The boys were far from convinced
however, renewed their sales with in
creased vigor and reported Meredith's
statments to local officers. Sunday
Meredith was arrested by Deputy
U. S. Marshal Mass, and was taken to
Portland to face trial on charge of
violation of the espionage act. Mere
dith is well known in Oregon City as
a radical Socialist and was formerly
an officer of the Clackamas County
Farmers' union, launched here a few1
years ago.
The boys are both patriotic young
sters who have been assisting in the
school children's thrift stamp drive.
They have purchased nearly $100
worth of stamps themselves, and it is
said that Meredith talked to them for
nearly an hour In an effort to dis
suade them from helping along with
the work. The matter was simultan
eously reported to the ML Pleasant
Loyalty League and It was whispered
about Oregon City Monday that had the
federal government failed to take
charge of Meredith he would have
been "waited on" by a committee of
highly Incensed citizens who felt that
his actions were most unpatriotic.
Meredith has a small farm east of
Oregon City and has a family. Many
complaints have been lodged with
the local officers concerning his rabid
un-American utterances, and it is the
common belief here that the faderal
officers took charge of the case in the
nick of time. Two other casis of dis
loyalty are also in the hands of the
government charging similar acts on
the part of citizens of the same com
munity and it is thought that these
will come to a head within the next

"In announcing myself as a candi
date for the Legislature I would re
spectifully ask you to examine my
record for the two terms that I
served the people in that capacity,
and from that recordyou may judge
whether I am worthy of your support.
"The. Legislature is the body that
prepares and passes the laws that
govern the people of the state, and if
bad laws are passed the people suffer.
All of my efforts were put forth in the
interest of economy and for the wel
fare of the people. Among the laws
that are now on the statutes prepar
ed by me and placed there on account
of my efforts are the following:
"The ten hour Labor Law that has
been responsible for placing the mills
that run 24 hours per day, on a
three shift basis.
"Providing for the taxation of water
power that has placed on the tax roll
in Clackamas County alone about one
million dollars of assessed value that
never paid taxes before.
"The repeal of over one million dol
lars of standing appropriations: The

by the following letter received from j
... a . ...
the Hon. Thos. F. Ryan, who assisted
ma in getting the necessary Informa
tion to -prepare the bill as well as in
its passage: ,
'In reply to your favor of the 18th
insL requesting facts and figures- re
lative to the effect of the passage of
the General Fund Bill introduced by
yourself at the session of 1915, I find
that the payment of interest upon en
dorsed warrants during the 15 years
previous to the enactment of the Gen
eral Fund Law, the state paid $103.-
698.64. Some years the payments were
much greater than others, as for in
stance the year previous to passage
of this law $24,233 was paid out on
account of accrued interesL This will
never occur as long as this law re
mains in force as it now it.
'Yours very truly,
'THOS. F. RYAN.
"Every candidate should be able to
give a reason why the people of his
district should cast their votes for
him, not because he is a good fellow,
but he should have Bome object in
making better and more just condi
tions for the people whom he serves.
,"I am interested in better laws and
my only object in being a candidate
few days.
Meredith is an American and for
merly was in newspaper work. The
government has a strong case against
him, not only the Osburn boys, but
several other neighbors; who will ap
pear when the matter comes up. The
Osburn boys are the sons of thes late
Mrs. Mary Osburn who died at her
home in the ML Pleasant country recently.
for the Legislature Is to prepare and
assist in the passage of laws for the
general welfare of our country and
to prevent the passage of bad laws.
"I am preparing the following bills,
and if nominated and elected I should
endeavor to pass them: :
"No man should be permitted to
own land in the state of Oregon -.in
less he shall become a citizen of our
country and assume the responsibili
ties of citizenship.
"Ail corporations organized for pro
fit shall Die with the corporation de
nartment n statement showing the
actual amount of money invested (not
hot air) and an annual statement of
the dividends and profits received,
from the investment, the number ofj
men employed and wages paid, and (
connected with this system of arbitra
tion that w ill protect the employer as
w?U as the employee.
"The State Highway Commission j
Law should be amended to provide I
that ail contracts shall be let while j
sitting w ith the County Court In the j
county where the road is being con-1
stracted that the Highway Commis
,n,r Bg c lacsamus county now minus
its roads. That the Highway Com
mission must purchase all the mater
ial for hard surface road, and shall
only be allowed to contract the work.
"The State of Oregon should pro
vide for taking care of the unfortun
ate and not one dollar of the people's
money should be paid out to sectarian,
or non-sectarian Institutes. This is a
critical time and the legislature
should give our government the nec
essary assistance, by proper legisla
tion, to destroy every particle of dis
loyalty wherever it may be found, and
a law should be passed that during
the war every man, rich and poor
alike, should be compelled to work at ,
some useful occupation to assist the
government in carrying the war to a
successful conclusion.
' In whatever position I have held
I served the people to the best of my
ability and always endeavered to pro
tect the taxpayer. My motto shall be
"Justice to all, special privlledge for
none.'
"If the people should nominate and
elect me to the Legislature, I shall
erve to the best of my ability in the
future as I have in the past.
"Sincerely yours,
"C. SCHUEBEL."

Miss Eva Moulton has resigned as
secretary. of tha Clackamas county
Red Cross auxiliaries to accept a po
sition in Forllund and the finance com
mittee la looking for a secretary to
fill the vacancy.
"At the tints we appointed Miss
Moulton as secretary." said A. R.
Jacobs, chairman of the finance com
mittee, "we were severely criticised
by some for employing a paid secre
tary to do this work. Befora we will
appoint another paid secretary we w ilt
give an opportunity for someone to
volunteer to do this work free of
charge. In tha event we can get no
one to volunteer their services, it
will be necessary to employ another
secretary as the work must be done.
"Miss Moulton has taken care of
the secretaryship in a very able man
ner. 'There is a large volume of work
to do In connection with the 43 uux
llaries in Clackamas county, enough
to keep a secretary busy all day long.

Arbelter Zeltung, of Vienna, a copy
of which lias b"cn received here,
sounds a warning to the Teutonic al

'Do not be decolved. Gorman's vic
tories will never force tha entente to
accept a peace of violence, if Hie Ger
mans could tako Cakls and Paris, and
even force France and Italy to capi
tulate, there will ever remain the
English hidden in their ialo and Am

can oiways continue tho war by sea.
The greatest victory cannot Impose
a peace of violence on America and
England.
