LIBERTY LOAN
IS SPEEDING UP
IN FINAL LAP
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 -Overcoming
the handicap of peace talk and
Influenza the Fourth Liberty loan to
day was gathering Its greatest mo
mentum of the campaign.
For the first time since the canvas
sing started, September 28, loan of
ficials here were optimistic.
Karly reports were of the decided
ly encouraging variety and pointed to
an activity never before equaled In
the long campaign.
The outstanding feature of the day's
telegrams to loan headquarters was
the Increasing number of !arge sub
scriptions. Chicago loan officials tel
egraphed that pledges ot great sums
wore pouring into the committee's
headquarters, while at the same time
there was no decrease In the number
of small subscriptions.
The work today throughout tho
country was expected to show encour
aging results In tonight's total.

CLACKAMAS PAVEMENT
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 12. (Edi
tor ot the Enterprise.) About two
years ago 1 wtote to your valuable
paper concerning the Clackamas coun
ty pavement. I sent my communication
a few days after Amos Benson carded
a Portland paper. Amos attempted to
advertise to the world that your pave
ment was not worth twenty ceuts a
square yacd. It might have a tendency
to make the son ot his father a ridU u
lous spectacle in Clackamas Couty if
he taxpayers were to read again the
article Amos wrote in August, 1916, in
which he predicted that your pave
ment would be a failure.
Today the pavement looks good and
the article rends as If It might have
been written by a man with a disorder
ed mind. Poor Amos. I wonder who got
him to wrlto such foollBh story and
sit;n his namo to it. I might take one
chance and say that Amos did not
write the article aforementioned, but
that it was written by tho Wairren
Construction Company and that Amos
was just fool enough to sign it.
About the time Amos attacked your
pavement the Oregon Voter printed by
Charley Chaplan Chapman said your
pavement would not last a year and
that you could blow your breath
though it. He said tltat It would be no
time till the weathor would go through
your pavement and ruin it. It is hard
ly possible that the weather has been
a "leotlo" bit backward in getting
through that pavement. Two and a
halt years Is a long tlmo for weather
to travel two inches. It has been about
as stow as tno uerman advance on
Paris. The weather will never get
through your pavemeut and the Ger
mans Will never, get to Paris. Some
times editors write attacks on legiti
mate enterprise for other reasons.
PerlBh the thought. All editors are
honorable men.
Your editorial comment on the
Chapman article over two years ago
was to tho effect that Brother Chap
man talks like the Warren Construc
tion Company. Just like Amos too, I
suppose. But Amoo certainly don't
need money,
' .Chapman is just now making a siav
ilar attack on the Terwilliger Boule
vard hardsurfaced job . in Portland.
He Ms making all sorts of failure for
thett pavement which is made of the
same asphalt, the sumo rock and after
practically the same formula as tho
kind of a pavement ho Is ordered to
applaud. I think I use that word "or
dered" advisedly.
I don't know but what it might be s
good thing for the Judge ot Clacka
mas County to Invito Charley Chaplan
Chapman, editor ot the Oregon Voter,
and Amos Benson, booster for the
Warron Construction Company, to the
county and rub their darned noses in
that wonderfully well preserved pave
ment which they predicted would be In
ruins long ago. The noBe knows that
tho pavement hasj a hard surface and
is In perfect condition.
It Is relly too bad that the pave
ment has stood up so well and even
looks better than It did in 1916. I
mean it is too bnd for Charley and
Amos.

HUNTLEY DRUG CO.,
GOVERNOR IS TOO BUSY
TO MAKE A CAMPAIGN
SALEM, Oregon, October 15. (Spe
cial). Declaring that he has neither
the time nor the inclination to travel
up and down the state soliciting
votes Governor James Withycombe,
Republican nominee for reelection, in
a statement to the voters of the state,
Issued today, announcing definitely
that he will not wage a personal cam
paign. . .
Governor Withycombe has always
had the reputation of being one of the
first state officials at his desk in the
morning, but those that frequent the
State House note that the Oregon
execulve has, siuce accumulation of
so many duties related to the war pro
gram, been probably busier than ever
before. He still takes a vigorous horse
back ride occasionally but these are
started later In the afternoon than
formerly and many of them are con
fined to inspection trips among the
State institutions aliout Salem.
In his address to the voters of Ore
gon Governor Withycombe says:
"No matter how active other candi
dates for political offices may be I
am determined now, as I was at the
time ot the primary election last May,
not to conduct a personal campaign.
I shall not have the time, the money
nor the inclination to go up and down
the state, figuratively or personally,
In solicitation of votes. This is no
time to seek political preference for
selfish gain alid aggrandisement..
I feel that all spare time and all spare
resources should he devoted now to
ward winning the war. It would be pos
itively unpatriotic to spend large
sums of money trying to divert the
public mind from wartime duties to
thoughts of politics. Both the money
and the effort should be utilized in
more commendable ways. -
"For nearly four years I have been
privileged to serve the people of Ore
iron as governor, endeavoring to give
the state a sound, dignified, business
like administration. I believe that I
have kept my pledges. I am willnig
to allow the record of my four years
stewardship to stand as my only cam
paign document The people have that
record before them and upon it they
must baoe their judgment for the fu
ture. -
"For many months I have been ex
tremely busy on the organization ot
war work. This work is by no means
completed, nor will it be for an in
definite time to come. I would like to
complete this task. I would like to be
Governor of Oregon when our boys
come home victoriously from war, for
then I would be iu a position to en
force the unwritten guarantee that

war work just as my heart and my
hand have been and always will be
with our Oregon boys.
"Throughout my administration I
have done honestly what I have be
lieved to be my duty. I shall continue
to do so. If the voters of Oregon be
lieve that I have served them faith
fully and well and if they feel that I
can be depended upon to give the very

velopments that will come with the
close of the war I shall indeed appre

Oregon's Experience In Liberty Loan
Drive Is Wholesome Lesson.
aSBSHSZSES25H5H52SS5e5Z5E52525
A striking Illustration ot the value
of publicity has come to light within
the past three weeks. The illustration
bears a moral which should be of in
terest to every voter.
The State Liberty Loan sent out
pledge cards broadcast over the state
to notify patriotic citizens to come in
and voluntarily purchase Liberty
Bonds during "Honor Week," preced
ing the efficient campaign.
Did the voters respond? They did
not.
In fact no attention was paid to the
cards by 90 per cent of the people. The
situation became desperate when, on
the evening before September 28th,
the state was short about five million
dollars In bonds. v
Then a new plan was tried. The loan
organizations sent "personal notices"
out through the newspapers, by pub
lishing the names of a few Portland
slackers and some others over the
state.

NOT SATISFIED
state at large slid over the top. The
result-was a highly agreeable surprise.
Mail notice, it can be seen, is not al
ways effective.
The Portland Journal's campaign to
eliminate the publication of the delin
quent tax lists is not meeting with tho
approval of the taxpayers of Oregon.
In the first place it is a campaign of
malice, of spitework, against the press
ot the state. In the second place the
existing tax publication law of Oregon
Is fashioned to serve the taxpayer and
not the title grabber. The present law
provides publication, but only after"
mall notices have been sent out and
have failed to notify. Publication is
not for those who pay but for those
who have failed to receive proper no
tice. Could any fairer scheme be de
vised? Let the present law alone. It
works to your advantage even if it
does not please the title grabber.
