Freak Spuds Are
Raised At Canby
CANBY, Or., Nov. 1 The 1922 po-
tato vines in and in the vicinity of
Canby are producing freak potatoes,
not only in size but formation as
well.
In the office of the commission
house of W. H. Bair in this city is a
formation of -potatoes, including
-about a dozen potatoes, which in the
shape of a large spider, even to the
head and legs. This was dug from
the farm of.O. P. Bailey, near Ad
kin's mill and brought to the commis
sion house as a curio by Mr. Bailey.
Two potatoes are on display in the
real estate office of Charles Bates,
which are of unusual size. The var
iety is "Earliest of All" sample from
40 bushels that were grown on one
lot in Canby. One of the potatoes
weighs 2 1-8 pounds, while the other
weighs 2 pounds. The measure
ments of these potatoes are 11 and
9 inches in length while the circum
ference averages 12 and 13 inches.
D. J. Parmenter, residing one mile
west of Canby, dug from his potato
patch a few days ago a "spud" that
tipped the scales at seven pounds
and was a sufficiency for two days'
potato ration for the Parmenter fam
ily. The radish family is trying to "out
do" the potato family as to size in
and around Canby this season. In the
local markets are the winter radishes
weighing 2 1-3 pounds, measuring
twelve inches in length, and about
eleven inches in circumference. These
were grown by John Nordhausen. j CANBY, Or., Nov. 1-Mayor Wil

"If I am reelected to the office ot
Governor of the State of Oregon, I
promise. In the future, as in the past,
to endeavor to conduct the affairs
of the state f Oregon is a safe, sane
and business-like manner, a conse,
va Ive government without thrills r
sencationalism, and will make every
effort to keep the cost of that govern
ment as low as caa consistently be
done And to the end that this may
be done I promise to use thee veto
when it can so consistently b usad.
Such was the pledge given by Gover
nor Ben W. Olcott to the audience
that packed the Star theatre last
evening to hear the governor and
Senator B. L. Eddy of Douglass coun
ty. This pledge followed discussion
and explanation by the governor of
the tax situation in the state of Ore
gon. During this address ne answer
ed many of the charges made by the
democratic gubernatorial candidate.
Early Life Recited
Governor Olcott; in his opening re
marks, stated that this pecasion was
his first public appearance in Oregon
City, although in 1892 or 1893, he said
he came to Oregon City In search for
work, which he secured here. He
stated he helped lay some of the
payment in Oregon City, at that time,
and later worked on the "small rail
road from West Linn to Willaniiette.'
The governor answered two speci
fic statements by Walter M. PTerce,
taken from the voter's pamphlet, "Is
the sum of over $15,000,000 annually
necessary in order to pay the expenses
of state government in Oregon? CaD
the people afford to pay any such sum
annually for this purpose?'! and "The
present enormous burden of taxation
has grown up under the regime of
Governor Olcott.'' Answering the first
question, the governor read an affi
davit by Frank A. Lovell, state tax
commissioner, in which Lovell stated
that $15,000,000 is not required, in fact
a sum far less than this amount is
required. The state tax levy in 1920
was explained to be approximately
$3,000,000. It was further explained
that-it would have been impossible to
raise this levy to anything approach
ing $15,000,000, on account of the six
per cent tax limitation law, which pror
hibits the levying of a tax larger than
six per cent greater than the tax levy
of the previous year. Any tax levy
over this six per cent must be voted
as a constitutional amendment, ana
a " new proposition. He would have
the United States pay the State of
Oregon a revenue on the timber which
it sells from its forest reserves! It
would take some governor to do that!
"He would have to swing not the
Oregon legislature, but the Congress!
of the United States, and I think he
could swing it about as far as he
could swing one of his blooded bulls
by the tail! We now get for our
schools and roads 25 per cent of all
money received by the United Staes
from its forests in Oregon.. Why
doesnt he go farther and say that
since Uncle Sam is getting a fine
revenue from the income tax in Ore
gon, he ought to divide up with us
about fifty-fifty, and that If he is
elected governor he will see that your
Uncle Samuel comes across. Why
not? There is a justice of the peace
in Douglas county who displayed
great genius in getting votes.
"It was during the war. Srtange
lights had been seen on he hills, and
-some surmised that the Japanese
were seeking to land troops on our
coast or that a fleet of German war
ships had ' eluded our navy and was
about to invade Douglas county. There
was not little interest and uneasiness.
The ingenius candidate for justice of
the peace assured the people that if
elected he would speedily solve the
mystery of .the strange lights. He
was elected, but I believe the mystery
is unsolved."

"In that same year, lc20," the gov
ernor said, "you yourself voted $6.
000,000 for the educational millage
bills." He continued, "I am, and hope
I may be sport enough to stand for
that which I sponror. though I do
not care to be made the goat. You
yourself are responsible for two-thin.' s
of the tax burden since 1920. About
$3,000,000 has covered every activity
of yie state government.' Explain
ing further the use to which the mon
ey receive from taxation is put, he
stated that 94 per cant of the money
is usd to conduct, and for the upkeep
of higher education, for elementary
schools, and for local roads, and that
only six per cent went to the main
tainance. The state highways, he'explained,
aw built and maintained by money
received, not from taxation upon the
people, but from auto license fees,
and from gas tax. The State High
way commission, the governor stated,
consists of three men who receive no
salary for their work, and who have
executed their duties as highway com
missioners in an able manner, and
received high compliment. from other
states and executives, mentioning
amone them these later. Ex-governor
Lowden, of Illinois. State Highways i
which are built in -Oregon, are paid j
for by bonds, he epxlained. ana tnese
bonds, and the interest thereon, are
paid by receipts from auto lienses and
gas taies.
A state tax investigation commis
sion has been appointed by Governor
Olcott, he explained, to make a thor
ough and scientific analysis of the tax
situation and to report to the gov
ernor and the state legislature. This
committee," he said, "will report to
the next legislature, a .republican
legislature that is already pledged to
do all in its power to lower the taxes
for the people of Oregon."
Urging the election of Olcott as
a governor of the common people,
whose record, he stated, had shown
conservative economy, loyal Ameri
canism and the support of government
by law, B. L. Eddy, senator from Doug
las county, followed Governor Olcott.
Eddy attacked . the candidacy of
Pierce whom he characterized as the
weeping willow of Grand Ronde.
From the beginning of his cam
paign,'.' said the senator, "Pierce was
challenged to show where and how he
would begin to reduce taxes if he
were made governor. His first thought
less answer was that he would cut
down the expenses of the state insti
tutions, but those institutions are so
economically conducted under Gov
nei-or Olcott and Secretary Kozer and
Treasurer Hoff that there is no possi
bility of reasonable saving there, and
Pierce as a former state, senator
should know this and does know it,
and no longer makes that suggestion.

Twenty-three arrests by State Traf
fic Officers H. L. Griffith, Chet Wilds,
Floyd Browne and County Traffic Of
ficer Long, wliicE have been tried in
the justice court before Judge E. J.
Noble since Monday, bear witness to
the fact that the campaign to put a

B. F. Sudtel, of Albany was arrested
by Griffith and Wilds for passing a
machine on the curves near New Era.

mntary lesson in the laws of the road.
Faulty Lights Scored
A large portion of the arrests, ac
cording to Grifith, are being made at
night in an effort to check the prac
tice of driving with faulty lights.
Pointing to the danger in defective
equipment, Browne cites the accident
at Parkplace last Friday. Through a

Inefficiency in road work and other
management of the county affairs is
the chief charge to be raised against
County Judge H. E. Cross, according
to Percy T. Shelly, manager of the
recall committee who spoke last night
at Estacada.
Outlining. the definite charges
against the county judge. Shelly
charged that more than $40,000 had
been spent on the Monitor Barlow
road out of' the bond funds and that
due to inefficiency only a mile and
three quarters of road had been con
structed. This he said was in actual
violation of the terms of the road
bond act.
He charged that the sum of $13,500
had been expended on a temporary
bridge across the Willamette due to
mismanagement in the original ton
tract which failed to provide for foot
traffic, and also showed that failure
to provide for vehicular traffic had
cost the county $500 in addition to
the private appropriations of $4500
for the maintenance of the ferry.
A survey on the Eagle Creek can
yon road, which was a total loss had
been authorized by the judge pri
vately and cost the taxpayers more
than $100.
Shelly quoted from affidavits which
he has secured to show that the judge
had overstepped his authority in the
delaying of the incorporation elec
