publivau county and city central com
mittees. Tli-' meet lux was a brief one,

mortlasf will be held In Sclling-Hirseh

Idleninu Sends Out letter.
In the rity and county there are 116
precincts, and in order that the pre
cinct meetings shall all be held on the
same night. P. M. Idlenian. chairman
of the central committee, has sent by
mail a circular letter with full Instruc
tions to the 116 committeemen. In ad
dition to the circular letter, each com
mitteeman will receive four large
printed posters and it will be his duty
to see that each poster is placed in a
coiibpieuous place in his precinct.
The first important step in this
movement will be the precinct meet
ings. At these meetings three delegates
to the mass meeting are to be elected.
Beyond opening the meeting for busiJ
ness, the committeemen will take no
pai t. The letter of instructions says:
Instructions to Members.
Dear Sir: In accordance with resolu
tion passed by the Republican County
and City Central Committee of this
county, you are notified to .call a mass
meeting of the Republican voters of
your preeinet, to be held on the 26th day
of February. HiOS. at 7::;o o'clock P. M.,
for the purpose of electing three repre
sentatives to an assembly to be held in
the city of Portland, Or., on the 29th day
of February. WS.
Please sign the accompanying notices,
filling in the place where the "meeting will
be held, and when the meeting assembles
call the same to order and have organiza
tion property effected by electing a chair
man and secretary, and when o or
ganized proceed to the election of the
three representatives, and when elected
have the chairman and secretary certify
their election upon the accompanying
blank, which will serve as their creden
tials at the assembly to be held on the
29th of February.
It is desired that every Republican
voter of the precinct be present to par
ticipate in the election of these repre
sentatives, and that there be a free and
fair expression of the will and choice of
the people in their selection. Truly and
sincerely yours,
C. M. IDT.EMAX, Chairman.
J. W. SHERWOOD, Secretary.
L,eft to the Voters.
Chairman Idleman believes that by
issuing these instructions the entire' mat
ter will be put squarely up to the people,
and it , will refute the charge that the
central committeemen are and have been
dominated by a few politicians.
"I have studied the primary law very
carefully." said Chairman Idleman yes
terday, "and 1 am positive there is noth
ing in the law to prevent the calling of
the precinct elections and of holding the
mass meeting. I believe also that such
delegates are keeping strictly within the
law when they adopt a platform and
transact such other business as may come
up at this mass meeting. We have heard
a great deal about the primary law. Now
it is up to the people. If the Republican
voters are interested in the least, they
will turn out to the precinct meetings and
will elect three representative men as
delegates. If they are not interested, they
will stay at home. -I think they are in
terested and are not willing to go hack
to the old system."
Southwestern Agricultural Fair trill be
held in Ccntralla from September 34 to

trol of the fair will be in the hands of
H. H. Collier, of Tacoma. The fair will
be held on the grounds of the Centralia
Priving Park. Governor Mead is expected
to be present at the opening exercises.
TAX EXEMPTION ANALYSIS
Central! "Fair September 14-in.
i!BNTRAUA. W.h.. Feb. 22. The
Explains Present Campaign ot Ore
gon Tax Reform Association.
PORTLAND, Feb. 22. (To the Kditor.)
Answering requests, the Oregon Tax Re
form Association submits this analysis of
tho tax exemption amendment: Its gen
eral aim is to release Industry and im
provements from the repressive pressure
of taxation.
1. Exempts dwellings. Every new home
strengthens our state. The present law
encourages gambling in home sites until
a Rood site costs as much as a comfort
able dwelling. This demand that the sav
ings of years be given up for the mere
chance to build necessitates postponement
and congests population.
2. Real estate agents will find plenty to
do bringing together the "land-poor" man
who finds hoiiding vacant land -unprovable,
with the homeseeker, who can and
will gladly pay the tax when the specu
lative value has thus been squeezed from
the purchase price, and the house he
builds and everything in it will be ex
empt. 3. Exempt Farm Production and Im
provements The former, insisting on
taxing everything, always pays taxes on
everything of his own. while the bulk of
the wealth drained from farms to cities
eludes the Assessor. Farm belongings
are not of the nature to be concealed.
Constituting less than 25 per cent of the
popuation, farmers have been paying
more than 50 per cent of the state taxes,
and the Supreme Court has now abolished
the customary $300 exemption. Let farm
ers compare the assessment of vacant
land alongside of them with that of their
improved farms, which make that vacant
land valuable. Compare taxes paid per
acre by land grants with that on improved
farms. But while dwellings and farm
Improvements are subject to taxes,
farmers will pay and railroad and city
franchises will not- The only way for
farmers to have anything exempt is to
exempt it open and above board by law.
4. Manufacturing Exempt .Manufac
turers everywhere agree that manufac
turing will be stimulated, thus creating a
"home market' for Oregon farmers, not
in Massachusetts, but in Oregon.
5. Workingmen's Tools Exempt Iji
c leased competition for workers, in fac
tory, farm and building trades, will re
verse the present order where the only
competition 1s that of workers against
each other for jobs.
6. Benefits Merchants Vacant lots and
land grants buy no drygoods and gro
ceries. With raw material worked up at
home, freights would be saved.' workers
would have more wages to s-pend. and
there would be more workers, and pro
ducing farmers would take the place of
idle sections, reflecting their prosperity
in that of business in general. Oregon's
enterprising merchants will never object
to exempting production and throwing
the burden on the public-made values of
vacant lands and franchises.
7. The Banker It will give our bankers
a chance to loan our millions of deposits
on legitimate enterprise instead of on
speculative .schemes, discounting the fu
ture. ' In short, will give money to indus
tries and not to speculation.
8. It will discourage the grabbing for
holdup purposes just ahead of industry, of
our unsurpassed natural resources, and
make more profitable the employment of
the able brains of our public service cor
porations in their proper business as com
mon carriers. -
9. Thus the amendment is opposed only
to his interests who fences natural op
portunity away from labor, arid to such a
one It opens the pleading prospect of get
ting down from the fence and becoming
r useful citizen. 1-1 . D. WAGNO.N.
