The Leading
HON. CHARLES A. JOHNS.
And Hie Declared Platform for Oregoa
Nominee For Governor.
The following platform ha just been
declared by Hon. Charles A. John,
gtihernatlonal candidal from Baker
county, before tbe Oregon primaries in
April next:
"The affair of the stste should be
conducted with a high sense of honor
and on aound buslnes principle and
a broad plane of equality, and to that
end there should be a watchful care and
vigilance over every department. The
high and tbe low, the rich and the
por should receive tbe same eourteou
treatment. The laboring man baa tbe
same right to be heard aa the railway
magnate and the millionaire, t
"The atate achool fund hould be
treated aa sacred, and there should be
no juggling with school lands. A law
should ba enacted, presenting apecu
bit inn in. or the sale or alignment of
school land certiflcate. The Land
Ajfent should ot be allowed to bave
anv favorites, or speculate through
knowledge obtained by virtue of of
flee. There should be no adjuncts to
or around this office and it should al
way tie above suspicion.
"All kind of property, including
franchises oboiild be required to pay a
jnt ami reasonable tax. aud express
and similar enmpaniee should pay a
tax on their gross earnings in the
state.
"A law should provide for a state
hank examiner with conservative plcn
ary power.
"The primary law was enacted by a
vote of a large majority of the people
and is entitled to. and should be given,
a fair trial and should be re-pected both
as to its meaning and intent.
''From sentiment and conviction. I
stand wrtli President Koosevelt on the
labor question, and am in thorough ac
cord with him on the qucstiou of rail'
road legislation.
"I am, a firm believer in. and an ar
dent supjMirter of, our public school
system. I favor lils-ral support to, and
a high standard of education) and with
rare exceptions think our own bora and
girl should be educated within the
Slate of Oregon.
"If successful. In my administration
the needs and wihe of tbe people will
be the only "boss' and the only 'machine,'
and there will be no 'favorites' and no
body will bave a 'pull', and I will give
the State an honest, clean, conscient
ious and vigilant administration. v'of
the people, by the people, and for the
pcole.' CHARLES A. JOILNS."
