court will name Mr. pullen as his

Taxpayer s League and
Pomona Granges Oppose
the "Flat-Salary Bill""
The Taxpayers' League of Portland, composed of well-known and responsible citi
zens, after "carefully studying the measures offered to voters," learns that the
"alleged flat-salary law" is the outgrowth of the attempt of a faction of the Salem
. Printers' Union to force the State Printer of Oregon to "signup" and give them con
trol of the State's printing for their own benefit. The League, in its advertisements,
advising voters as to its conclusions, recommends the rejection of the alleged flat
salary bill, in this language : -. .
"STATE PRINTING BOARD v
- "328 Yes
"329 No -
" This bill is about as flagrant a misuse of the initiative as can be
; conceived. The interests of the State are entirely ignored in an at
tempt to help out an industrial struggle. It is extravagant and unwise.
"Voters are advised to vote No."
' The League's recommendations are made over the signatures of R. L. Glisan,
President, 612 Spalding Building, and L. J. Goldsmith, Secretary, 321 Corbett Build
ing, Portland, Oregon. '
The alleged flat-salary law is also condemned by Salem Grange No 17, after full
investigation. .
Marion County Pomona Grange indorses the action of the local Grange in with
drawing support from the measure. .
Linn County Pomona Grange also advises members and citizens to defeat the
printing bill. ' . , ,. , , 4 -
Multnomah County Granges, by their masters, unite m recommending defeat of
"said so-called flat-salary law," and commend the present State Printer for mate
rially decreasing the printing cost of Oregon. '
The big printing houses of Portland (21 of them) unite in recommending defeat
of the so-called flat-salary law, because "it has not a single meritorious feature."
In all flat-salary states printing costs two to four times as much as in Oregon.
That's why a little clique at Salem prepared the bill and supports it. The scheme
means great waste and extravagance.
The Oregonian and nine-tenths of the papers of the state condemn the scheme.
To beat this dishonest close-shop bill, which masquerades under a flat-salary ban
ner, vote "329 X No." ... .V
Then I shall continue to give Oregon the cheapest public printing m the United
States. WILLIS S. . DUNTWAY,
State Printer of Oregon.

and Jonathan Bourne
I make an appeal to all who favor an attack on that form of
special privilege known as protection, to vote for Dr. Lane and
especially against Senator Bourne, for the following reasons:
One of the defects of our system of government is that we make
a platform, elect a President on that platform and then oppose
him with a Senate or Dower House which is absolutely opposed
to him and the platform on which he was elected. In other
words, we declare against monopoly-breeding protection and
elect Wilson. Then we elact Mr. Bourne to help oppose Mr.
Wilson in the Senate. Of course, all the other Senatorial can
didates, except Dr. Lane, are also protectionists, and these re
marks'apply to them as well. But I have selected Mr. Bourne
because he is claiming that, having been in the Senate, he will
be peculiarly valuable to Oregon. He was an Aldrich protection
ist in the Senate, and so voted uniformly. For that reason he is
the last man for anti-protectionists to return to that body. If
Governor Marshall is President of the Senate, Mr. Bourne's pork
barrel influence will not be so strong as that of a Democrat.
I personally have another objection to Senator Bourne. He
has attained great celebrity as the champion of the Oregon Sys
tem, but the first time the Oregon System is not to his wish he
destroys it. No man can enter a direct primary and then refuse
to abide by the decision, without destroying it. All the sophis
try in the world will not alter the fact. Let the petitioners
petition all they please, the man who has submitted himself to
the direct primary has no right to make it a farce by shouting
, for it if he wins, and running again if he loses. Is Mr. Bourne
or the direct primary more dear to Oregonianst If th8 direct
primary can so easily be kicked to the rubbish-heap, the next will
be Statement No. 1 when it does not happen to suit some future
Mr. Bourne.
