If I am nominated and elected, I
will construe my oath of office to
mean a complete' and effective en
forcement of the law. I will have
no interest to serve but the public
interest. I will jrlve the protection
of my office to all persons and all
classes alllte. I will conduct my
office with strict regard to economy.
I will at all times serve all official
papers with promptness. I will give
all prisoners In my custody humane
treatment and wholesome food.
T. M. Hurlburt yesterday announced
his candidacy for the Kepublican nomi
nation for Sheriff.
He made the decision to enter the
contest after having been personally
assured by hundreds of Republicans
that he was their choice for the office.
He was urgred to run on the ground
that Multnomah County needs as Its
chief executive a. man of his character
and temperament, with his extensive
experience in largre executive affairs.
"Strict law enforcement, efficiency,
economy," is Mr. Hurlburt's slogan. In
his platform he makes a concise state
ment of his conception of the duties of
the office to which he aspires, leaving
no question as to what his policies will
be in the event of his nomination and
election.
Mr. Hurlburt, by reason of his al
most lifelong residence in Portland,
and his connection with the public
affairs of the city in the responsible
office of Municipal Engineer, is per
haps one of the best known men who
has gone before the people of Multno
mah for any office in the present cam
paign. Thomas M. Hurlburt was born in
Iowa in 1860, but came to Portland
with his parents when he was 10 years
old. Portland has been his home ever
since. He was educated in the graded
and high schools of the city, and at
the age of 18 became an engineer and
surveyor on railroad work.
He was made City Surveyor of East
Portland in 1885, was County Surveyor
from 1886 to 1891, when he resigned to
become the first City Engineer of the
consolidated city. In 1890 he made a
reconnaissance and report of the Bull
Run water supply which was adopted
by the Legislature. From 1896 to 1907
Mr. Hurlburt was engaged in import
ant survey and engineering work in
the West for the Government. From
1907 to 1909 he was a district city en
gineer and from 1911 to 1913 he was
City .Engineer.
In all this work Mr. Hurlburt was
called on to exercise those qualities
of decision in dealing with men and
matters that his friends insist would
be of great value in the Sheriff's of
fice. "I believe that I have the qualifica
tions for the office," said Mr. Hurlburt
yesterday, "and I believe that the peo
ple of Portland and Multnomah County
know that I have them. My platform
tells what may be expected of me if I
am elected Sheriff, but better than any
written platform. I believe, as an earn
est of what kind of a Sheriff I will
make, is what the people of Multnomah
County know about me as a man and
as a public servant."
public offense: to employ for the pur
pose of maintaining causes confided to
him such means only as are consistent
with truth, and never to seek to mis
lead the court or jury by any artifice
or false statement of law or fact. At
torneys are liable to summary Juris
diction of the tribunals In which they
practice for want of good faith and
honesty in their relations with their
clients. This is an inherent power re
siding .in' the court, without the aid
of any statutory enactment, and this
power may be exercised to the extent
of depriving an attorney of his office
and striking his name from the roll.
Such a power is indispensable to pro
tect the court, the administration of
Justice, and attorneys themselves are.
or should be, vitally concerned in pre
venting the vocation from being sul
lied by the conduct of unworthy mem
bers.
This is necessary for the protection
of the court, the proper administration
of justice, the dignity and purity of the
profession, and for the public good
and the protection of clients. In no
other calling should so strict an utter
ance to ethical and moral obligations
De exacted or so high a degree of ac
countability be enforced. The power
of depriving an attorney of his office
and striking his name from the roll
should be exercised with great modera
tion and Judgment, for an attorney
suspended or disbarred through caprice,
prejudice or passion, and thus sudden
ly deprived of the only means of hon
orable support for himself and family,
upon a contrary doctrine, would be
utterly remedyless. To deprive one of
an office of this character would often
be to decree poverty to himself and
destitution to his family. Expulsion
from the bar blasts all prospects of
prosperity to come and mars the fruits
expected from the training of a life
time. Wlien an attorneys commits an
act. whether in 'the discharge of his duty
as such or not, showing such want of
professional er personal honesty as to
render him unworthy of public confi
dence, it is not only the province -but
the duty of the court, upon this fact
being made fo appear, to strike his
name from the roll of attorneys, for
he has by his own misconduct deprived
himself of qualifications that are In
dispensable to the practice of his pro
fession. It would be carrying the doc
trine too far to hold that an attorney
must be free from all vice and to
strike him from the roll of attorneys
because he may indulge in irregulari
ties affecting to some extent his char
acter, when such delinquencies do not
affect his personal or professional In
tegrity. To warrant a removal his
character must be bad in such respect
as to show him to be unsafe and unfit
to be intrusted with the powers and
duties of his profession, 30 that, in the
exercise of a sound discretion, the
court should only entertain such
charges as are in their nature gross
and unfit a person for the honest dis
charge of the high and responsible
trust reposed in an attorney.

LAWYERS ARE DEFENDED
Mr. Booths Tells of Bar Association's
1 'I Slit Against Dishonesty.
PORTLAND. April 9. (To the Ed
itor.) I have read with interest your
editorial under date of April 9, en
titled "Crooked Lawyers." I note your
observation that since the assassina
tion of Ralph Fisher by the maniacal
Jim Finch, the lawyers have evidently
lost interest in checking the rapacity
of the male harpies and blood-suckers
who disgrace the profession, and
wherein you also state that the law
yers do not care much about their
general repute.
1 am not writing this communication
with a view of criticising your edl-1
torial. for T am painfully aware of the
fact that in the legal fraternity, as
well as in any other profession, un
scrupulous people gain admission.
Many things are being done by the
Multnomah Bar Association with re
SDect to disciplining its members which
are not given out for publication. This
association' has. within the last year,
taken proceedings which have resulted
in the disbarment of some unprofes
sional members, and proceedings are
now pending against others, the names
of whom it is unnecessary to make
public at the present time. The Mult
nomah Bar Association has been in ex
istence for a period of eight years and
is doing everything in its power to
maintain a high standard of 'profes
sional conduct and ethics. We quite
agree with you that there is no duty
the Bar Association so clearly owes the
rublic as a searching inquiry Into the
professional conduct of attorneys.
In your editorial you refer to the
conduct of two attorneys in a transac
tion growing out of some Police Court
case, but this matter has not as yet
been brought to the attention of the
T3ar Association by any interested
Party. However, one of the Interested
attorneys called upon me today and
asked for an investigation of the con
duct of himself and associate.
The Multnomah Bar Association has
an investi sating committee consisting
of the following well - known attor
neys: Roscoe C. Nelson. Arthur I. Moul-
ton. Bartlett Cole, C. L. Whealdon ana
Karl C. Bronaugh, and the association
lias elected E. L. McDougall to act in
the capacity of prosecuting attorney
We are well equipped to handle all
matters with respect to professional
conduct. I consider it the duty of all
persons who feel themselves imposed
upon by lawyers to report his grlev
a nee to the committee or to Mr. Mc
Dougall. or to myself.
,An attorney at law Is an officer of
the court. Upon his admission to
practice it must be shown that he is
a person of good moral character, and
that he has the requisite learning and
ability to entitle him to be admitted to
practice the profession. It is his duty
to maintain the respect due to courts
of Justice and Judicial officers; to
counsel or maintain such actions, suits,

Civic League Told Views on Kcono
my, Veto Power, Law Iln force -
ment and Oilier Topics by Men
Who Would Be Governor.
Six aspirants for nominations for
Governor have answered the 10 ques
tions put to them by the department
of state government of the Oregon
Civic League, of which department H.
M. Esterly Is chairman.
These aspirants are: G. C. Brownell,
Republican: William A. Carter. Repub
lican: T. T. Geer, Republican: IT. M.
Gill, Progressive; Charles A. Johns.
Republican; W. S. U'Ren. Independent.
The following are the questions, with
the answers of each of the six candi
dates following each question:
Question One.
(a) Do you favor giving the Gover
nor power to veto separate items in
appropriation bills?
(b) Will you use your influence in
every proper way to secure legislation
giving the Governor this power?
Charles A. Johns (a) Yes; (b) Yes.
George C. Brownell (a) I do favor
giving the Governor power to veto sep
arate items in the appropriation bills,
and for 12 years while a member of
the State Senate, have used it as an
argument to endeavor to pass a bill
calling for a constitutional convention,
(b) I will use my influence in every
proper way to secure legislation giving
the Governor this power.
William A. Carter (a) and (b) I
have pledged myself in my declaration
of candidacy to use my influence in
securing legislation giving the .Gover
nor power to veto separate - items In
appropriation bills.
W. S. U'Ren The- executive veto
power has no place in a government in
which the Legislature is responsible
and responsive to public opinion. The
veto power was reserved by the British
Kings to protect their royal preroga
tive against the attacks of Parlia
ment, which represented the people. It
Is many generations since any English
King or Queen has dared to veto
bill passed by Parliament.
No executive officer should have
power that he can use secretly to in
fluence the action of other officers of
the government, if it can be avoided.
The veto power generally, as to a whole
bill, and in very much greater degree
when it can be applied to single items.
does confer a very great power to in
fluence members of the Legislature,
and which the Governor can use secret
ly. In my opinion it should be abol
ished instead of strengthened. . It is
not needed while the people have the
nltiative, referendum and recall.
T. T. Geer I do, and have for the
past 20 years. Such power is absolutely
necessary If he Is to be enabled to curb
extravagance on the part of the Legis
lature and to circumvent the- tendency
to enact unwholesome legislation
through the custom of log-rolling and
swapping. ,
K. M. Gill a) I do. b) I will,
earnestly supported this constitutions
amendment In the Legislative Assem
bly. See page 1175, Mouse Journal, 1913
Session.
Question Two.
What specific things will you do to
bring about a more economical admin
istratlon of the affairs of the state?
Charles A. Johns I would cut down
the expenses of the offices of Gov
ernor. Secretary of State. State Treas
urer and Attorney-General; abolish
about one-half of the state boards and
commissions and cut down the ex
pensee of the other half, and give th

MAYOR VIEWS HOME SITE
Chairman llolman Suggests Poor
farm Land for Women's Detention.
Chairman Ho'.man, of the Board of
County Commissioners yesterday took
Mayor Albee to look over the available
ground owned by the county at the
County Poor Farm with a view of se
lecting a site for the proposed deten
tion home for women. There are two
or three acres on the farm tract which
Mr.- Jlolman says would be available
for the . proposed home. The Mayor
has the proposal under advisement.
Mayor Albee was of the opinion, after
viewing the poor farm property, that if
the plan for the home contemplated
but one structure the sites offered
would be sufficient, but if the cot
tage plan is adopted they would be
inadequate.
of bringing about a more economical
administration of the affairs of th
state by abolishing all useless commis
slons.
William A. Carter I shall endeavor
to reduce the cost of administration by
abolishing superfluous offices an
commissions and by consolidation of
others.
W. S. U'Ren I will do all I can to
obtain the repeal of laws creating a
number of different departments and
commissions to do the work which
should be done by one officer or one
set of officers. One of the most glar
ing examples of this abuse is the Sher
iff's department. Constable's depart
ment; another of fish and game war
dens; still another of fire wardens, and
endless police departments, all to en
force the laws.
T. T. Geer Lessen the number of
officials, where possible, and curb the
tendency toward unnecessary appro
priations. F. M. Gill I will veto any appropria
tion that Is extravagant. I will en
deavor to persuade the Legislative As
sembly to reduce all appropriations to
a minimum and will co-operate with
the assembly to this end. I would en
deavor to have a sufficient amount of
agricultural products grown on the
state farms to supply the state insti
tutions. In every way. possible, wher
ever in my power, I would endeavor
to have everything done for the state
as economically as possible.
Question Three.
What state commissions, if any,
would you seek to have consolidated?
Charles A. Johns My answer to
question No. 2 is a complete answer
to this question.
George C. Brownell -I would be in
favor of abolishing all useless commis
sions, and retrenching in every prac
tical way.
William A. Carter The Compensa
tion Commission with the Labor Com
mission, corporation department with
the insurance department, the Desert
Land Board with the Board of r or
estry. the Live Stock Commisslo'n with
the Board of Sheep Commissioners, the
Food and Dairy Commission with the
State Fanitary Board.
W. S, U'Ren I would seek to con
solidate In one department all the dif
ferent commissions that deal with
wages and wageworkers. having one
head, appointed by the Governor, as
the National Labor Commissioner is
appointed by the President. I would
seek to consolidate In one department
all commissions dealing with agricul
ture in all its branches, and have one
head, appointed by the Governor, as
the National Secretary of Agriculture
is appointed by the President. I would
endeavor to apply the same principle
to all other departments, taking the
National Cabinet as the best pattern.
but not including approval by the Sen
ate or Legislature for the appointmen
of such officers by the Governor.
T. T. Geer I cannot at this time say
definitely, but where existing com
missions overlap as to their duties,
and there are such. 1 will do my ut-
Jruout toward effecting their coneollda
tion. Many of the commissions, how
ever, are serving without salaries.
F. M. GUI I have not had the time
to inform myself as to what commis
sions could best be consolidated. I
am of the opinion that It would be
more economical and satisfactory if all
the commissions but the Railroad
Commission were abolished outright
and one man be assigned the duties
of each of the commissions. The re
sponsibility of official acts could then
be more easily fixed. There should be
but one State Engineer. The State
Highway Engineer and the State En
gineer should be the same person. The
State Tax Commission and the Fish
and Game Commission should be abol
ished. The Tax Commission is the au
thor of the tax law declared by Judge
McGinn to be Iniquitous.
Qnentlon Four.
As Governor what would you do. if
anything, to bring about closer co
operation between executive and legis
lative branches?
Charles A. Johns In my Judgment
there would not be any friction be
tween a Republican Governor and a
Republican Legislature. I think they
n uuju worK in nirmony, ini iicjr
could not and would not shift respon
sibility, and that a Republican Legis
lature will endeavor to carry out the
platform on which a Republican Gov
ernor is elected.
George C. Brownell T would be in
favor of removing the lobby and all
outside influences as far as practical
and make it the business of the Gov
ernor to meet with legislative com
mittees and consult with individual
members.
William A. Cartel- I shall seek to
acquaint all members-elect of the Leg
islature with matters of Important
and needed legislation before the Leg
islature meets and obtain from them
their Ideas regarding such matters
with the view of eliminating the waste
of time and money incurred In the
consideration of legislation which is of
no benefit to the people of the state.
W. S. ITRen I should do my .utmost
o maintain friendly relations with the
Legislature collectively, and with Its
members individually. What one must
do to accomplish that result will de
pend on conditions as they arise. I
do not see how a more definite answer
can be made.
T. T. Geer Believing myself right in
every, position I might take, else I
would not take it. I would use what
persuasive power I could to convert
the Legislature to abandon its course
nd, if unsuccessful, would yield as
far as possible without sacrificing the
public interest, otherwise would resort
to the use of the veto power.
F. M. Gill I would do everything In
my power to assist tne members in
their labors, and do all I could to
avoid friction between the executive
and the legislative departments. At
the same time I would insist that leg
islation must be in behalf of the peo
ple of the state and not a special priv
ilege. I would endeavor to gain and
hold the friendship and esteem of each
member.
Question Five.
(a) What steps. If any, would you
take toward prison reform?
b) What Bteps. If any, would you
take toward extending or limiting the
parole system?
Charles A. Johns I would reserve
the right to Judge each Individual case
on its own merits, and would be mer
ciful and lenient to any man convicted
of a crime who is not a real criminal
but I am constitutionally opposed to
the pardon or parole of any real crlm
inal or professionel convict.
George C. Brownell I would be In
favor of continuing Governor West's
general prison policy, and would carry
out a policy on these general lines.
v llllam A. carter rongdolng, in my
opinion, originated chiefly through Ig
norance and incompetence, therefore it
is the duty of the state to reclaim ana
not to avenge, and it shall be my pol
icy, as a matter of Justice as well as
economy, to reform and rehabilitate.
The law giving the power to pardon
can be rightfully exercised only for
the public benefit. The wishes and In
terests of a prisoner should not control
except in so far as he is a part of the
publio affected.
W. K. U'Ren The purpose and ef
fect of a sentenco for violation of 1
should be to plant higher Ideals of
patriotism In the convict's mind and
train him to a useful life. I think
Governor West's policy Is founded on
the right principles, though I have not
always agreed with him when he ap
plied them to Individual cases.
T. T. Geer 1 believe in treatini
prisoners with all the humanity possi
ble consistent with good discipline, and
do not believe in either extending or
limiting the parole system. It Is a good
system and its use should be governed
In individual cases as each particular
case may suggest.
F. M. Gill 5a, section 15. article 1. off
the state constitution, says: "Lawn for
the punishment of crime shall bo found
ed on the principle of reformation, and
not of vindictive Justice." I think the
spirit of this section should bo carried
out. prisoners treated humanely and
given an opportunity, if they are no
nregenerate, to become once again use
ul and honorable citizens. I would
ontinue the "honor system." This was
approved by the legislative lnvestlgat
ng committee of the 1913 session, too
havo no definite steps In mind, nut
approve of a reasonable use of the pa
role system.
Question Ml
Do you favor a constitutional amend
ment and subsequent legislation fo
state-wide prohibition?
Charles A. Johns t am a Repub
lican and. insofar as I am advised, th
Republican party of the State of Ore
gon has never declared for or agalns
state-wide prohibition, under tne in
tiative bill now pending it is and will
be for the people to decide whether o
not Oregon shall have state-wide pro
hlbltlon. In the event the people de
clde in favor of state-wide prohibition.
I will give my hearty support and ap
roval to any and all legislation wnicn
may be necessary or required to carry
It into effect and make It my Dusmes
to see that such laws are strictly en
forced.
George C. Brownell I favor National
and state-wide prohibition.
William A. Carter I decline to an
swer that question, for the reason that
believe it is unfair. In that tne ques
tion will be settled by a vote of th
people In the next November election
Drlor to the time the Governor-elect
will take his office and therefore
should not be made an Issue by
candidate exceDt for purely selfish, per
sonal reasons and for the furthering of
his own political interests. If it car
ries I shall favor such subsequent leg
islation as will effectually carry out the
will of the people. On the other hand.
If it should fall to pass. I snail lavor
strict enforcement of all the laws
relating to the regulation or promo
tion of the sale of intoxicating liquors.
W. 8. U'Ren Yes, and National pro
hibition, also.
T. T. Geer I do. For 0 years.
though not acting with the Prohibition
party.- I have been opposed to the con
tinuance of the license system. The
time Is now overdue for the errectuai
suppression of the liquor traffic the
greatest single menace to the welfare
of mankind. -ot only the tippler Is the
injured party, but in thousands of cases
helpless wives and children bear the
brunt of the burden. Oregon should go
"dry" this year.
F. M. Gill I favor state-wide pro
hibition, and if approved by the people
I would use the constitutional powers
of the Governor's office, or statutory
powers, to enforce it.
I introduced and secured the pas
sage In the 1911 session of a bill abol
ishing gallon-houses and supported all
anti-saloon legislation In the 191 ses
sion. Qnetleu Seven.
What would be your solution, as
Governor, of the unemployed problem?
Charles A. Johns Reduce taxes: en- 1
courage capital to invest and open up
the latent resources of the state. This
would solve- the labor question.
George C. Brownell There can be
no practical solution of this problem
without removing the cause.
William A. Carter I have to say
that the problem of the unemployed is
one that arises from different condi
tions and it Is Impossible to say how
to meet the question without knowing
from what condition it arises. 1 fa
vor whatever legislation will promote
the interests of the unemployed by
keeping in mind the Interests and wel
fare of the public at large.
W. S. U'Kcn I favor employment
by the state at useful and necesary
labor of all citizens who cannot find
work for themselves. The wages should
not be greater than the true value of
the labor performed. Those who do
not want to work I would put on
piecework under guard, and guarantee
them bread "and water. They snould
receive for wages all they earn over
and above the cost of their guards.
T. T. Geer There is no "unem
ployed problem" in the sense that it
is to become -a permanent state policy
calling for a solution. There are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of rich
lands In Oregon, owned in compara
tively small bodies, which have never
been touched by a plow. These call
for labor, and it is an anomaly which
cannot last s'bere a country is not
one-tenth part In cultivation and
thousands of able-bodied men are liv
ing on charity. Where both the men
and the acres are idle the condition
which keeps them apart Is but a su
perficial one. and. especially In the
Northwest, cannot last.
F. M. Gill I would endeavor to solve
this problem. I think no one has yet
found a solution. If the saloons are
all closed I believe there will be few
er unmnloyed. Possibly a state em-
Dlovment bureau would be of assist
ance In bringing the, man and the Job
together. 1 believe! road worn snouia
be arranged for the unemployed.

What would you do as Governor to
get the immigrants on the land?
Charles A. Johns Put men to work
on the farms at reasonable wages and
reduce taxes.
George C Brownell Would advocate
the leasing and sale, on long time, of
the state land, at such prices as would
permit a! poor man eventually to obtain
title, and In addition thereto I would
expel all Asiatics and Hindus from the
state. I also state if any bill is in
troduced in the Legislature and I
should happen to be Governor, to com
pensate saloons for the amount of
money invested in their business, I
would veto it.
William A. Carter I shall favor and
urge the passage of laws that will at
tract immigrants to the land and thus
eliminate them as competitors of the
population in congested districts, where
employment Is unavailable.
W. . U'Ren Everything that the
people would approve. This would in
clude the submission of proposals to
adapt and apply as much of the Danish
laws as may be practical in Oregon, and
under which the Danes have become
the best farmers in the world, prac
tically abolished poverty and left
only 11 farms in 100 cultivated by
renters in Denmark.
