There is a widespread feeling, in which I con cur. that the burdens of taxation in this state have- in the past been in equitably distributed. The support of the government in all of its various branches lias fallen for t lie most part on the owners of real estate. I be lieve that the policy of our laws should bf to increase the revenues of the state from indirect taxation and the taxa tion and the taxation of intangible pro perties to the end that real e-tate may ultimately be free from taxation for state pnrpo-e-. This result has been reached in some of the commonwealth! of the union and the time will come when a similar result can be reached in Oregon. I believe in the taxation of franchises. A franchise in property in just as real a sense as a fa inn. Favors Taxing Franchises. "There are franchises in the State of Oregon which are more productive thart any hundred farms. I know of no reas son why a farm should be taxed and a franchise should escape taxation. I am opposed to the granting of perpetual franchises and favor a general law de priving municipalities of the power to grant franchises for more than a stat ed period of years. There is a wide spread belief that franchises in the past have been secured by debauching ity councils and paying to the grafter compensation which rightfully belongs to the people. "I believe that with every franchise the owner of the franchise to pay to the public a proportionate part of the earn ings from year to year, by way of com pensation for the special privilege? granted. Where a. franchise has been unfairly secured from the people or where it has been iinprovidently grant ed the people should repossess them selves of such franchise by the revo cations thereof when possible or by the .exerci-e of eminent domain if neces sary. Perpetaul Franchises Bad. "In this connection I will say that I believe every pei-petual franchise is im providently granted for the reason that the conditions of today are not the conditions of tomorrow. Provisions which protect the interest of the pco ule of today may be totally inadequate a few years hence. Ftiblie, utilities I believe are best administered by private interest rather than public servants, for in the latter case self interest, the greatest of incentives, is lacking and thriftless and unbusinesslike methods will turdy, sooner or later prevail. A public utility is a public asset and the interest of thp public therein should re serve control over- all public utility frun- ohises to the extent iicewsary to en. sure the greatest etllcieney of the pub lic norvio at the least expense, subject only to the right of capital to be just ly compensated for it invest incut. The vast resource of our Sdite call for the investment of capital for their- de velopment. Treat Capital ami Labor Alike. 'It is necessary that our laws should U conceived in a spirit of fairness and should hold out to capital the assur ance that its just and honest claim will be safeguarded. It is certainly possible to so frame our laws that they will guard every interest of the people and at the -une time by their justice and moderation lend no sense of inse curity to the capital which we invite to aid in the upbuilding of our- state. "In all of thee matters, however, caution and good judgment are neces sary. It is easy by a wild-cat system of legislation to alarm the cautious in vestor. Vnwise end inflammatory laws .enacted in Oregon at the present time would do much to cheek the investment of foreign capital and the starting of new enterprises which now promise ad ditional employment to labor and addi tional prosperity to the people, A wise system of taxation is never conceived in piission or fathered by prejudice. It is the first duty of a government to be just to all persons. I heartily concur in the sentiment of the president that every man is entitled to a square deal. If 1 am the dealer he -shall have it. Abolish Needless Expenditures. "There is a demand for legislation for the supervision of private banks. The ordinary depositor has nut the means of investigating the solvency of private banking institutions and it is wise that laws should be passed pro viding for a system of reports from state and private banks, akin to the information now exacted by federal government from national banks. 1 am opposed to the creation of needless of fices. The burdens of the taxpayer are sufficiently heavy at present. They should not le increased without good cause being shown. I believe that the office of state land agent should be abolished. The lands of the State of Oregon have been for the most part dis posed of and the properties which the state now owns can be properly looked after. Cheap Transportation. "Every legitimate means should be employed by the state to facilitate the transortation of the products of our various industrial enterpri-es. One of th greatest problems effecting the gen eral prosperity of our people is cheap transportation. The natural waterways of the state should lx- made available for unobstructed transportation at the parties possible date. The tribute ex acted from the products of our farms, mills and factories at the Oregon City locks should be abolished. By a per sistent and united effort on the part of our people this barrier to competitive transportation can be removed. This will mean added value to every pound of hops, every bushel of grain and to every other commercial commodity tri butary to this waterway. The portage railroad at Cellilo should be made as near canal conditions as practicable. The lowest possible freight rate only should be exacted. In this way a great system of transportation can be built up in the upper Columbia and its tribu taries, thus stimulating production and adding to the prosperity of our people over an immense area of our common wealth. Good Roads. "Nothing will add more to the pros perity and happiness of our rural popu lation than will good public highways. It is unnecessary at this time to enter into details but wuffice it to say that I believe the state should give substan tial assistance to the betterment of our public highways. Instead of our con victs being brought into competition with the honest skilled labor of law abiding citizens they should be em ployed upon the roads. That prison Jabor in the construction of roads is a success has- been fully demonstrated by Multnomah county. With a well or ganized co-operative effort on the part of the state and the various counties it is confidently believed that within a few years amterial progress will have been made toward a better system of public highways throughout the state. Serve the People. "The governor of Oregon should be the servant of the people. The people should have his car and it should be his endeavor to serve the people. If I should be elected governor it will be my endeavor to administer the office along these lines. I shall invite sug gestions from the people on all matters .relating to the public welfare and shall endeavor to administer the office with justice to all and special privileges to none. "In conclusion, I commend to the eon sideration of the voters of the state the other candidates of the Republican party, They have all been nominated by diivet vote of the people, The pri mary has afforded an opportunity for a fair expression of the popular will. The primary law is (in trial in this campaign. If the candidates of the ma jority party are defeated at the polls the primary law will lie discredited and there will lie an agitation for its repeal, "Kor these fensons, and aUo because of my respect for my associates on the Republican ticket. 1 call upon all lie publican in the State to support them at the polls.j Oivgou has been one of the Ixiiin.'r Republican states of the I'nion. Let it prove itself so at the coming election and let our majority lie so large that it will aimouneo to the world most emphatically that the people of Oregon he contUhiu-e in that matchlcs leader of the Republican pari- Theodore KoosevelU" - " -o NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. The recent Are on Astor ttreet disclosed a state of affairs that ' is intolerable. Old mattresses, umbrellas, broken furniture, rags and combustible filth of all deserip- tions are thrown into the back yards of the houses. Such re- fuse makes good kindling for tires and furnishes food for flamei, thereby endangering the lives and property of the people. This condition of affairs ob- tains, not only on Astor street, but also on Bond. Commercial and other street: and after con- sulfation with the Committee on Fire and Water, it has been de- ciiled to give public notice to all concerned, that all such premises mut lie cleaned up within thirty days from date. At the expiration of that period, incmWrs of the Commit. tee on Fire atld Water, together with the Chief of Police and Chief of the Fire Department, will make a tour of inspection. and all corporations, firms or individual, failing to elean up will be prosecuted, in accordance with the ordinances of the city.
