Mr. Huston submits tba follow Inr platform: "In a time like the present, party lines are lost In many of the usual avenues of political activity, and such should be and muni-be the casa. Tet. under a popular form of government, the will of the people must be ex pressed through mass action, and the best form of representative political power Is found In the party pledced to certain lines of constructive legislation. "With faith In the wise leadership ef the Republican party and with. desire to be of the greatest service to the state of Oregon. I desire to appeal. as a Republican, to the men and women of the state who will be charged with the election of a United Mates Sena tor In November. My candidacy will he subject to the result of the pri maries. Msy IT, and In case of my fall are to win the nomination I will do my best for the success of the man who. in the wisdom of the Republicans of the state, shall be chosen as their candidate for the high office. w Paltry Saspsrlrs. "The purpose of the Nation Is ex pressed In unmistakable terms In the great enterprise being carried on. the war to defeat the Imperial German gov ernment. The patriotism of every cltt sen. expressed In terms of service, will suffice to win the war and make pos sible the spread of true democracy to all corners of the globe. In the prosecution of the great world war. In tbe marshalling of every element of strength and force Inherent In the citizens of the Nation, in the bringing Into the service of the United States Government of every dollar and every man needed to assure victory In the struggle against autocracy, the Ad ministration must have the loyal and undivided support of every man and woman claiming allegiance to Ameri can principles and democratic ideals. This support I. as a citizen, freely give. And. In all the measures promulgated for the wise and vigorous prosecution of the war by the Administration. 1 will, if elected, be found supporting the head of the Nation. Taxlag of Wealth Favored. "The expense on the part of the fnlted States In carrylnr on the world war must of necessity be tremendous, and a great burden of debt will rest upon the country when peace shall be declared. In tbe payment of the cost of the war I am In ravor or taking largely of excess profits and of levy ing high income and inheritance taxra. I am also In favor of continuing these methods of taxation after the war has closed until the war debt shall have been paid, thua giving Industry an op portunity to reach a normal base as quickly as possible and placing as lit tle burden as need be upon the backs of the soldiers, who must again take up tbe constructive work of building p the country, drained by the ravages and desolation of war.

KREGTtESS. our Industrial strength rst upon the health, the well-being and the standard of living of every man, woman and child In the Nation. The duty of each citizen o undertake maas action In support of the Nation, the demand that every business interest be subordinate to the National Interest, must be sup. plemented by a well understood pro gramme of social Justice and equality, through which the United States Gov ernment will assure to each citizen the fullest possible benefits of our collective efforts. The results of ths ir must spread a new day before the workers of America, a day of more equal opportunity and more Just di vision of labor's rewards. Tariff Revision Foresee "The readjustment of world com erce following the war will neces sitate a revision of the tariff schedules to meet the new world conditions. Either through a tsrlff commission or by Congress direct, wise tariff legis lation must needs be promulgated. .It will be my purpose. If elected, to sup port tariff measures which will equalize. the wages paid to labor, so that foreign cheap labor shall not be placed on the same basis wiin in American worn ingman. It is my conviction that the wage scale paid In American Industries of the same class or competition is unfair. ' The recognition of ths Justice of the principle of th basic algbt-nour day In the primary Industries of the United States needs no argument. It hss already been voluntarily estab lished among millions of worklngmen. National legislation Is required to com pel Its uniform adoption and observ nr The win earners ann me ium berlng and shipbuilding Industries of the Pacific Coast should not be asKcu to compete either In hours or wages with the cheap labor In th boutnern mills and factories, which now work 10 and 12 hours a day. Free reel fie Terta Urged. "The foreign commerce of the United States Is of paramount importance. With the close of the war the competi tion for tbe markets of the world will become more Intense. Th United Kmtes must be able to maintain the po sltion It has acquired during the war period. I will favor wise legislation looking to the creation of free ports at Colon. Honolulu and "Kanna. mereoy nrr.ulnr the sohere a our commercial and political Influence on the Pacific Ocean. TUe subject of free ports Is of deep elgnlftcance io the citizens of the United States and of tremendous Impor tance to the people living on th shores of the Pacific. "Industry and commerce ar suffering for lark of transportation facilities, while the waterways of the country are allowed to remain In disuse and dis favor. I am firmly convinced that Congress should evolve a plan by which the waterways snd railways snail be co-ordlrmted and made to serve the people cheaply and efficiently. While many millions of dollars have been ex pended In th Improvement of the Co umbla. th Snake and to Willamette Rivers, there haa been no well-defined plan to use th waterways when Im proved, and no organised effort has been made to develop tonnage along he streams. The time haa come for constructive work centering at Port land, to the end that all transportation possibilities of tbe state be wisely d veloped and beneficially used. Laws te Uses Alaska Favored. "One of the untouched storehouses of natural wealth Is Alaska, a section which, on account of restrictive legls atlon and lack of adequate transpor tatton facilities, bas been bottled up and kept from beneficial use by the nterprlslng citizens of the country. I am In tavor of f ederal legislation which will throw open the lands of Alaska to settlement and allow the minerals to be mined and added to the wealth of the Nation. "The problem of legislation for Alaska, covering the conservation and use of the forest and mineral resources as well as the use and development of stent soil possibilities. Is one of the largest questions In constructive work before Congress. Following the close f th war the Pacific Coast will take ts place a th constructive center of the country, and the great region north of Oregon must be given support In all wise measures and movement for the permanent development of Industry and commerce. Im ef Water Pew ere Urged. "If anything were needed to empha size the need of water power develop ment In Oregon, the war has supplied all the evidence that could be demand ed. With fuel shortage and transpor tation strangulation threatening the country. -the state of Oregon offers water-power possibilities almost beyond computation, which power should be turned to account In the building up of industries throughout th state. Only here and there has tbe latent energy been harnessed, while Industry, com merce and agriculture clamor for cheap power, heat and light. "The fertilizer problem Is serious In sections of Oregon, and the arid lands of the state must be Irrigated before pros perlty can com to large, open areas and large numbers of people, in coin Irrigation and fertilizer production waterpower could be used to advan tage. I am In favor of wise and far. sighted legislation which will maka possible the opening of waterpowers to the us of th citizens of Oregon, leg islation which will assure cheap energy and at the ssme time amply safeguard the rights of generations yet unborn. Broader Rural Credit Law Sought. "Cheap and long-time money for the farmer is on of th essentials of land devalopment and prosperity in rural Oregon. I am in favor of broadening the Federal rural credit law until its provisions will cover the ncnls of purposeful men who would establish themselves and families on the lands of tbe state, making possible the bor rowing of long-time funds with which to make a start with th best chances of success. "I am In favor of Federal aid for tbe states In the construction of perma nent highways. It is my opinion that as a measure of relief for conditions following th war a plan of highway construction should be evolved by Con gress, to give employment At fair wages to soldiers returned from the battle front as well as the first development of a Nation-wide system of bard-surfaced roads. "In the cutting of billions of feet of timber In Oregon, the shipbuilding In dustry and. the lumbering Industry must go together, bringing prosperity to the citizens of tl. state and perma nent development of world commerce. It will be my purpose In the Senate, if i elected, to aid in every legitimate way the development of the shipbuilding in dustry and to do what I can toward establishing onth Columbia and Will amette Rivers a great shipbuilding cen ter. This work will have only begun by the time peace comes, and plans for the future must bs wisely laid and perseveringly carried out. "It will be my purpose to support measures for the maintenance of tbe 40-foot channel to the ssa, and gener ally to support all legitimate means for th Improvement of the bays, bar bors and other walerways of the state of Oregon. The advantage gained by the work already done must not be lost to the state. On the other hand, world commerce must b directed to the Co lumbla River. "The state of Oregon and the city of Portland have ' been discriminated against by the Federal Government in many ways. If elected It will b my purpose to use every endeavor to see that such discrimination shall cease. "I will support measures which will give women tbe full use of the ballot. If facts were needed to convince the voters of th country that extended suffrage would be simple Justice to the mothers of the fighting men of the Nation, the war already haa more than supplied the evidence. "As the best means or dealing with the saloon problem, I will support measures looking to the National pro hibition of the liquor traffic" LA PINE CLUB BACKS MOVE 'Mad In Oregon" Programme In dorsed by Commercial Body. LA PINE, Or. Jan. 20. (Special.) The La Pin Commercial Club yester day unanimously adopted a resolution Indorsing th "made in Oregon" move ment. The resolution, in part. Is: The La Pine Commercial Club re spectfully urges upon the people of the La Pin Basin to bear in mind th new policy of 'Oregon products for Oregon people," and that wherever they can purchase mada In Oregon' ' goods as economically as goods manufactured In other states, they give 'made in Ore gon goods' the preference."

Routine Work of fled Cross Office Fails to Faze Local Volunteers. ALL DUTIES DEFTLY DONE Service Donated Mean Savins; Ef. t ected for Necessary War Work of Organization Elsewhere No Reward Asked or Expected. Can the hand that pours a fine blend of social tea, that wields a facile pro fessional pen or decorates the bridge table, turn to and do th "office drudg ery required of women in war time? verily, yes! "Th "office drudgery" In the office of the Portland chapter of the Red Cross is being: done almost entirely by girls and young matrons active either socially or professionally. They have donated their services. not only for a day or an hour here and there but with a regularity and ex actness that might be asked of any regularly paid stenographer, clerk or shopgirl. Kxecutives at the chapter headquarters admit it is "drudgery,' but It Is being done as a matter of course and "no questions asked. Volunteers Save' ExpSsise. This Is a phase of ths Red Cross volunteer work apart from the bandage and surgical dressing work which is being done by hundreds of women and girls in all parts of tfce city. The "office drudges are expected to take the petty . annoyances and dis tractions that eome to every office. It Is true, there are several paid em ployes. a treasurer, c field secretary and two stenographers, but with them alone the field Red Cross could not be efficient. It would be compelled to engage ' much more assistance. The "office volunteers" have ' filled the breach. There ar a dozen or more volunteers at the Red Cross office from time to time. They work in relays, when nee essary. They don their overall apron uniforms, and at a desk or typewriter, or th telephone switchboard, work without reward. Modesty is their forte, It's a man-sized Job for any reporter to get a "story" out of them, but the good work of some of them shines out under the bushsl, Just the same. Girls Do Effective Work. Consider, for example. Miss Helen Eastham, 617 Kearney street, whose sister, bniney juastham, is already a hospital aide in a unit soon to go to France. Miss Eastham could well find use for all her time. She is well known as a magazine writer, and scarcely a month passes that some article from her pen is not published in one of the better publications. Tet Miss Eastham puts in two complete afternoons a week as telephone operator at Red Cross headquarters In the Morgan building; In addition, she takes charge of all the newspaper and other clippings con ernlng the Red Cross, filing, tabulat ing and arranging them.

This Is the second threatening letter Judge Rossman has received recently the other one coming about three days ago and saying that the writer had been sitting through sessions of the Municipal Court and had "seen the high-handed manner of running It,1 ending with the statement that If his conduct did not change something would be done to force a change.

The warm weather has started the grass and It is now four or five inches high and past danger of blight. Hangers and men from tbe hills say that the mild Winter probably will con tinue. They base their predictions on the fact that the hair on stock and deer seems to be unusually light this year and, also, on the reluctance of animals to leave the mountains despite the lateness of the season. Usually the animals will come down of their own accord at the beginning of Winter, but this year they evinced a disposition to remain and it took considerable work on the part of tbe herders to move them out. Had it not been that all of last year's hay crop was fedTbut last Winter, stock could have remained in the hills de spite the short crop of bay this year.
