j!epresrntatlv In Congrc9 From
First District Takes as Motto
""o Interest to Serve but
the Public Interests."
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
w lllla C Hawley. Representative In
rnnrrm from the First District, and
Republican nominee tor re-election, has
issued an open letter to the roters of
the state. In which he outlines the pol
ley that will govern him during the
next session of Congress.
Mr. Hawley's letter follows:
"To the voters of the First Congres-
siooal District of Oregon Mr Friends
I respectfully submit for your consld'
eratlon the following brief statement
upon matters of Interest to the people
of the district, and which the member
of Congress from the district will be
charged with taking care of, and ask
our careful consideration of them.
mi a candidate fur re-election upon my
record of service already rendered: for
the completion of the development
work successfully Initiated by me, and
conscious of the rectitude of my Inten
tions because 1 can further serve you
to your benefit and satisfaction In gen
eral progressive legislation and In the
advancement of the material Interests
of the state and district.
RcgnLatlng Laws Favored.
"The Congresses of which I hare been
a member have done more to give the
Ooverament and the people control over
and regulation of the activities of the
great Interstate corporations than have
those for many years preceding. A cor
poration, if confined to the legitimate
business of producing and selling com
modlties for a fair price, or of selling
efficient services for a reasonable
charge, can effect economies and render
the public useful services. Legislation
should promote the legitimate and re
strain the objectionable activities of
large enterprises. I am opposed to leg
islation granting special privileges, the
seling of watered stock, or fictitious
securities, or otherwise "high financ
ing" the Investing public Money re
ceived should be earned by reasonable
charges for good services rendered.
"Recent progressive legislation. In
cluding the tax on corporations, which
furnishes an Indirect but effective
. method of keeping the Government ad
vised as to the .kind of business done
by the interstate corporations, and the
appropriation of 1200.000 for the en
forcement of the anti-trust lairs, has
materially strenghtened the authority
of the Government and afforded addi
tional safeguards to the interests of the
people.
Tariff Kevlslon Trged.
"During the years that have elapsed
since the passage of the Diogley tariff
In IS?, the general Industrial and
economic advancement of the country
has made tariff revision necessary, and
I strongly favored a general revision.
The making of a tariff law la a mat
ter of great complexity, by reason of
the numerous diverse and conflicting
Interests of the different sections of
our common country. I did not wholly
approve of the new tariff act. There
were a number of changes I would
have made, had I alone been making It.
T supported It because I thought It on
the whole a better law than the law
of IS)?; It remedied some of the In
equalities and defects of that law,
caused by economic and Industrial
changes; It provided a more adequate
revenue; x believed It to be a reduction
downward, as the year's experience
Its operation has shown It to be; It re
deced the tariff on a number of com
mon necessities and comforts of life,
and put others on the free list; It
placed a tax on corporations, giving the
government a large revenue, and an
Indirect but very effective means of se
curing the full Information necessary
for regulating them and the common
carriers: it provided a tariff commis
sion, which was subsequently given en
larzed powers and an appropriation of
jJjO.Ono to secure the Information nee
e-ary to scientific revision of the
Items In the tariff upon which questions
have been raised by the people. For i
further revision of the tariff. In a scl
entitle manner. I favor a change In the
rules of the House and Senate, so that
a single item or schedule In the tariff
may be taken up and acted upon Inde
prnriently of other Items or schedules.
"I believe In the Republican theory
or protection, by a tariff that will
equalize the cost of production at home
and abroad, preserving to the American
worklngman his high wage, assuring to
tne American manufacturer and pro
diicer a reasonable profit, and to the
American farmer, who Is both producer
and laborer, a proper return. I do not
favor a protective tariff on non-com
petitive articles.

I have already accomplished much: mak

especially of the Immense water powers,
for the benefit of the people and the
state: Improved conditions under which
mining may be carried on: giving to set

Xew House Rules Needed.
"I have voted for several changes In
the Rules and will vote for others. I
have already called attention to a rule
f.ir tariff amendment. In my opinion
the Rules are merely such a body of
procedure as will enable the House to
transa-t the public business and to se
cure the enactment Into law of the will
of the pople. and the Rules should be
changed as occasion arises and whenever
necessary to effect these ends. I favor
any chance tn the Rules that will In
crrnse the efficiency of the House as the
National legislature, preserve the rights
an1 equality of the members and of the
delegations from the smaller states, and
make the House responsive to the will
of the people.
"Space will not permit my going Into
general detail upon all the matters of
l"gi.i!ation that the Representative In
Congress from the First District of Ore
eon will properly have to be active In.
I believe In equal rights and opportunity
f,r all. and oppose special favors and
t-lH.s legislation of all kinds. I am
Mr.eere believer In the form of govern
ment commended by President Lincoln,
of the people, by the people and for the
people.' and adopted as my motto when
I entered the public service, "no Interests
to serve but the public Interests.' and no
fair-minded and well-informed person
ran ever say that I have done otherwise.
I favor river and harbor Improvements
in the District. At the recent session
of Congress large appropriations were
rranted for this work. This work must
be vigorously followed up on the proj
ects already undertaken, and extended
tn include others. These waterways In
clude the Coos Bay, Coqullle. Coos River,
Sli.slaw: Vmpqua. Taquina. Tillamook.
Nehalem. Willamette River. Clackamas
I la plds and Wood River.
"I favor public buildings, soil surveys,
and other internal Improvements; the'
opening of the Klamath Indian Reserva
tion: making Crater 1-ake a great Na
tional resort by extensive roads, lnclud-
preclatlon of a great - Republic and to
make their declining years comfortable;
more extensive co-operation on the part
of the Department of Agriculture In as
sisting our fruit-growers, farmers and
dairymen In the development of these
Important Industries, and I have already
done much work along these lines; re
stricting the entry into this country of
Oriental or pauper labor: the income tax
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, also a further amendment
providing for the election of United
States Senators in the same manner as
Congressmen now are. that is. by the
people; progressive legislation generally,
promoting the welfare of the people, pre
serving their rights and Increasing their
prosperity.
Direct Primary Binding.
I have always favored the Direct Pri
mary law. and that method of making
nominations for public office. I feel my
self bound by the Direct Primary nom!
nations made by the party I affiliate
with and register as a member of. I can
not believe that anyone is a sincere
friend of the Direct Primary law who
will endeavor to nullify the will of the
people by refusing to abide by their de
cision.
I have no unkind words to say of
any one who may honorably aspire to
the office I have the honor to hold, or
of any who may elect to support such
aspirant. But I Insist, and I believe the
people will Insist, that such opponent
and his friends shall give me due
credit for my good record ae a public
servant, that they shall refrain from
rroneous statements,- misrepresenta
tion, and from 'glittering generalities
made with purpose to mislead or to
deceive.' A candidate for public office
bo will misrepresent his opponent or
countenance such misrepresentation.
will misrepresent the people when In
trusted to office.
"We are enjoying a period of unex
ampled prosperity for all classes of our
citizens, good wages, good prices, and
steady demand prevail generally. Be
fore casting your vote I respectfully
but earnestly urge you to consider
carefully whether It Is wise to disturb
such favorable conditions. A vote for
the Republican nominee will be a vote
to continue your Own welfare and pros
perlty. and also In behalf of every
wage earner, producer, and consumer in
the United States.

I have made a thoroughly clean and
honorable campaign for renomination
and a majority of the votes In the Re
publican primaries decided that I
should be the candidate of that party
for which expression of renewed con
fidence. I am profoundly grateful. If
re-elected I will continue to support ef
fectlve and progressive legislation for
the general good and labor diligently
for the upbuilding of the District and
to serve Its people. Ever since my first
election I have traveled extensively
over the District at my own expense to
secure Information as to the needs of
the localities and that I might confer
with the people and know their opin
ions and wishes.
"I confidently believe the people ap
preciate effective and faithful service.
and in this belief I respectfully submit
my candidacy to the decision of the
voters and if elected I -will have 'No

Cnlted Republicans of Southern Ore
gon to Welcome Nominee.
MEDTORD. Or, Oct. 11. (Special.)
Much interest Is felt by the Republic
ans of Southern Oregon In the pros
pect of having Jay Bowerman with
them soon. Mr. Bowerman Is sched
uled to give an address at the dedica
tion of the Elks building at Ashland
next Saturday night, and probably will
speak In Medford the following Mon
day.
Mr. Bowerman has many personal
friends in Southern Oregon, and his
coming will be a signal for a getting
together of the Republicans.
With the indorsement of the Repub
lican ticket by R. F. Mulkey. the de
feated Republican candidate for Con
gress, factional feeling In the Republi
can party has disappeared. The Re
publicans, as shown by the registra
tion hooks, outnumber the Democrats
two to one In Jackson County, and It
expected that Mr. Bowerman will
carry the general election by a large
vote.
Mr. Bowerman'a statement that he
will veto any attempt at encroachment
the Legislature may attempt upon the
rights of the people Is regarded as suf
ficient to warrant a full Republican
vote for the Republican ticket.

SALEM, Or.. - Oct. 11. Special.)
Mayor Rodgers. who recently returned
from a European trip, has found a re
markable difference between the opera
tion of the initiative and referendum In
Switzerland and in Oregon.
"The operation of the initiative and
referendum in that country has become
a settled factor In the government,'
said Mr. Rodgers today. "The people
have become accustomed to It and Its
exercise Is very rare. The Legislature
understands that It Is In a certain
measure restricted to legislate for the
people and the people do not seem to
rare to legislate any more for them
selves, a-
Power Used While New.
"When the system was first estab
lished, the newly-created power was
much more generally exercised. I
think this was largely due to tbe act
that any new Implement of power
placed In the hands of the people Is
eagerly grasped. Now, It Is merely usedt
as a safeguard against adverse legisla
tion. It has answered the purpose for
'which It was created and It Is under
stood by the people to be a check which
holds the general lawmaking body well
reined.
"Of course, there is a vast difference.
territorially, between Oregon and
Switzerland. I stood on one of the Al
pine peaks and could see practically all
f Switzerland. There is less need or
, great amount of legislation in a
country the area of Switzerland than
there Is In the State of Oregon.
Oregon Will Be Similar
1 consider that the ultimate effect
of the initiative and referendum In Ore
gon will be similar to that in Swltzer-
and. It will be but little used and
will come to be considered as It is now.
considered by the Swiss merely a safe
guard. There Are now many measures
proposed under the initiative In Ore
gon, while the people or bwitzeriand
never think of UBlng that portion of the
law. There Is also much abuse of the
Initiative here.
"When the people of Oregon become
accustomed to this practically new Im
plement of power and when political
conditions become more settled. I be
lieve the bad features of the plan will
be remedied."
