WITHYGOMBE Ami fmm J ii - - - . Primary Law Indorsed, Econ omy Urged and Rural Devel opment Advocated. STATEMENT IS PLATFORM Republican Candidate for Governor Declares Himself in' Faror of Systematic Road Building and Lan Enforcement. In a statement issued at Medford Thursday, Dr. James Withycombe, Re publican direct primary nominee for Governor, outlines the policies and Mfeals of state government to which he adheres as an aspirant for the office of chief executive. The statement, in effect, is a platform and in it he dis closes fully and unmistakably his stand on the vital issues of the campaign. That Dr. Withycombe is in warmest accord with the direct primary law and the laws enacted by the people is em phasized In the strongest terms. He stamps the primary law as a success, which Is proved beyond all doubt by the spectacle of seven defeated candi dates for the Republican nomination no"w standing shoulder to shoulder in support of the successful candidate. Dr. Withycombe calls attention to the fact that he was the first man public ly to advocate the single-item veto in Oregon. Economy Is Urged. Economy is given primary consider ation in his statement of principles. He holds that the present burden of taxation is out of proportion to the taxable wealth of the state and urges elimination of extravagance in all forms and a careful, efficient adminis tration of state affairs as the remedy. State building is also gone into in con siderable details and his statements in this connection show his intimate knowledge of the needs of all sections of Oregon. Dr. Withcombe's statement In full follows: "As the Republican direct primary nominee for Governor of Oregon, I wish to address to the people of the state a :r:ef gar.eral outline of those ideals of state government which it is my atnbition to put into effect and which movecl me to become a candidate for the high office of Governor. Aim la to Lighten Burden. "At the outset I am going to name economy in the administration of state affairs. Mot economy at the expense of efficiency, but economy as a part of efficiency. It is my firm belief that the present burden placed upon the taxpayers of Oregon is out of all pro Portion to the taxable wealth of the state. The burden has become galling particularly at this time, and it will be my aim to lighten this load. It can be done. It must be done. Eliminate conusance in state affairs, adminis ter the affairs of state on a sane, business-like basis and the harvest will be tens of thousands of dollars saved to the people who foot the bills. "It is har-Jlv necessarv fnr mo t-.. that rural development is a. matter of the greatest possible importance to the Our wealth and prosperity have foundation in farmer and uro- Encouragment .and co-oper- be given to the men whn state. their ducer. ation must ll me soil and develon that wealth which is reflected in everv which each and every citizen and in shares. Needa of Oregon Known. "In this connection I believe I ap preciate and understand fully the needs of Oregon, the richest of states in nat , ural resources. During the 43 years of my residence in Oregon there is no part of Oregon whose resources, indus tries and special needs I am not thor oughly in touch with. For 16 years, as a member of the Agricultural College faculty, practical and scientific agricul. ture have occupied a considerable share of my interest and activity. "The building 'of good roads is an other matter the importance of which must not be lost sight of. It is un necessary to dwell upon the value and Importance of good roads in the de velopment of Oregon. The working out f a network of good roads will add to the welfare and prosperity not only of the farmer, but of every one of us, since the prosperity of the farmer is reflected to the state at large. Construction Cost a Factor. "Of equal importance is the cost of constructing these roads, a cost which may grow out of proportion to the value of a spectite road. There must be an equable method of placing the cost of good roads, and above all there must b.e insisted upon -a system of highway construction which will give a dollar's worth of road for every dol lar expended. "On the subje'ct of law-enforcement and as to my attitude on the laws now existing and which may exist, any man who aspires to represent the people honestly as their Governor can have but one view. Law enforcement is a fundamental duty, one which must be met fully and firmly at all times. 1 have always been on the side of decency and law enforcement. My whole life, public and private, bears that out to the fullest possible degree. And I will al ways be found on that side. Primary Law Supported. "The direct primary law has my full est sympathy and support. Itias passed through its experimental stages and be. come a successful established fact. The direct primary law marks a big for ward step in constructive legislation and there is no stronger evidence of its triumph in Oresion than is to be seen in the fact that the seven Republi can candidates who contested with me for the Republican nomination for Governor at the direct primary elec tion are now united in supporting me actively as the successful candidate. "I hitherto have indicated my full est sympathy with the constructive measures placed upon -the statute books by the people and I construe it to be the unalterable duty of the Gov ernor to uphold and defend these laws I am particularly opposed to use of the emergency clause' for any purpose other than that intended by the con stitution, and never would I as Gov ernor, permit use of the 'emergency clause to defeat the initiative and ref erendum. Harmony Held Deatrable. "The relationship between the Chief Executive and the Legislature is a mat ter upon which I desire to -bring at tention. As the highest representa tive of the people's inierests It is the duty of the Governor to stand between the people and the Legislature as the guardian of the people's interests I believe more can be accomplished " for i the good of the people if the Governor and Legislature work with some de gree of harmony rather than at swords points, with mutual attempts at brow beating. Such would be my aim as Governor, but at the same time I shall safeguard the public in the strictest way from unnecessary or extravagant appropriations or in any action whi-h may not be directed towards the best' Candy Day Today At the Bargain Circle on the Main Floor.

"I wish to call attention to the fact that I was the first man in Oregon to advocate publicly the single-item veto. 1 have said, and now reiterate, that the single-item veto might prove dangerous in the hands of a narrow, vindictive and vengeful Governor. By this I mean that I oppose the giving over of the reins of state govern ment to any man who has not the poise, balance, dignity "and fairness which the high position of Governor demands. The single-item veto itself is a necessity of the first importance." La Grande Orders Sunday Closing. LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 9. (Special.)

The committee has ou hand a large mass of data gleaned from study of the systems in other join): city and county governments, which will be used as a basis for work in case the trustees adopt the recommendation. Members of the committee are: W. J. Clemenl, chairman: Roger Sinnott. Jay Bowerman, Walter Cook, J D Abbot. A. L. Barbur, C. H. Jackson and George Stapleton. Clackamas Award Overlooked. Clackamas County, in addition to winning the first prize of the state for the best county exhibit at the state fair, won an extra premium which was overlooked at first in the list of awards. The judges found that the 75 clock, donated by the Oregon Electric Railway Company, for the best county display of grains and grasses, was won by Clackamas. There was some delay in reporting this award. Those directly in charge of the display were O. E. Freytag and R. M. Standish.

Following completion yesterday of all arrangements for the proposed garbage dump in Marquam gulch. City Commis sioner Daly announced that dumping will start next week. Such refuse as will not burn easily will be hauled over Terwilliger Boulevard to a place about 1000 feet couth of the. south end of Sixth and there dumped into a chute leading to the bottom of the gulch. As soon as garbage is dumped it will be sprayed with carbolic acid and covered with dirt. Commissioner Daly says the process will not cause contam ination or offensive odors and he be lieves it will cause no complaint from residents. The dumpinff process will be kept up until the gulch Is filled. The operations are to start at a point in the gulch almost directly south of the south end of Sixth street where Ter williger Boulevard forms a loop in crossing the gulch.
