any reasons why Mr. Llghtner should
t b alacttd.
"His campaign announcement prat
"'old-fashioned economy.' " said Mr.
iTnun, "It la bunk for campaign

i'Tha rrand Jury In 1 916. the Joint
mmlttae from the Taxpayers' and

r. A. J.. Qlesy. chairman: D. A. Pat
illo, George Lawrence Jr.. Leo Frieda,
madea . Smith, Charles V. Mahaffle
nd George C. Mason in 1914, and the
ew YTrk Bureau of Municipal Re
earch in 1913, each having lnveatl
tuted carefully the management of
ount affairs as conducted under
.Ightnerlsm, brought in almost ldentl
l reports verifying the oft-repeated
barges of gross Inefficiency, waste,
itravagance and mismanagement.
I "Ha boasts that when he came into
fflce- ha found the county 1600.000
i debt and proceeded to pay It off.
Wgnrss Are SulJinittad.
"In 1904 the assessed valuation of
he county was more than $54,000,000.
n 191 J the county's assessed valuation
i&d grown to $341,000,000. During all
hese years the rate of tax levy has
-emained practically th same. In
tber words, all that Llghtner had to
ia in order to pay off that $600,000
wag to levy a tax and get the money
rrofn lta pocketa of taxpayers. Every
tear under the Llghtner kind of ad
ministration the cost of county govern
ment has Increased and ' ho has had
tlx times the assessed valuation to
Jraw on that he had when he entered
sfflca. '
- 'Old-fashioned economy." Llghtner
claim.' H trie t tnak you beliavs
he has saved tha money of the tax
payers. Look at tha facts.
"In the courthouse, built under
Llghtner administration:,
"Marbls floor cotered with expen
sive carpets. : . - .. j
"Expepalre and elaborate lighting
fixtures, too many to usa at one time.
"Marble wainscots so high that an
Uteres In Janitor fores was necessary-to
keep tbem polished.
-'Over $3000 spent for; clocks that
do not keep time, ' ,
"A ventilating system that does not
ventlUta. '. '
"Built As Aftortfcmffct."
"A Jail built on the top of the court
house as an afterthought, thereby
making It necessary toyitrengthen the
walla from the ground up at great .ex
pense. "An expense of approximately 1800
a room to cover the . elaborate walls of
court rooms with drapery so that the
voice echoes would not fill the room.
Judges leave their marble benches and
sit about pins tables so that they may
hear the cases. ' Judge McGinn has
moved his court room -four times In
the hop of betterment.
"After the Jail was put on top 'of
the courthouse under Llghtnerlsm, a
parapet was put around the Jail to
hide Its hldeousnsM, thereby making
the Jail so dark It Is necessary to
bum the electric lights 24 hours a day
at great expense.
Poor ram Considered.
"When I became a county commis
sioner I found under Llghtnerlsm at
the county poor farm filth and waste
and vermin. Rags containing sputum
from. the tubercular ward were thrown
Into a pit where rata swarmed. Con
ditions, generally, were almost unmen
tionable. .
"Llghtner opposed the purchasing
department for the county under
which we have been able to secure
real economies and do away with some
extravagance, waste and inefficiency
of his kind of old fashioned economy.'
"When I came Into office I found
that under Llghtner the county had
been paying M a gallon to a St. Louis
concern for vermin exterminator and
that the county had been getting short
measure even , at his inordinate price.
I quickly discovered that we could buy
exterminator of the same properties
trom a local concern at 65 cents a
gallon. Now we are using distillate
costing nine cents a gallon.
"The county of Multnomah suffers
from Llghtnerlsm. He should not be
reelected If the people of this county
want true economy and efficient ad
ministration.;
"Llghtner's reelection will put the
stamp of ths people's approval on
Llghtnerlsm, Upon the methods of
waste and inefficiency and political
Interference that ljave characterized
his administration, and that will con
tinue If he Is continued in office."

meeting pledged himself to member
ship in the organisation, and each
agreed to get another member by Sun

reserves a charter membership of
nearly 76 men.

nounced last, evening that they would
join the company, were several men
who have seen previous military serv
ice, including several Spanish war vet

8 The Plans of Men and
the Vision of Women
Ladies ! Do you realize that there are many
lines of business in which we men can plan
8 success; but when it comes to achieving
success we are doomed to failure unless
you back us en masse. ;
For instance, some years ago the executives of the Pacific Coast
Biscuit Company planned success on a huge scale. They bought
and erected' big, modern, sun-lit plants they employed masters
tv wwi was ww wa avurw Q L1 'w7 Jvui wu vu t iiiwttwjr Ai nw rr uiwi . w
insure purity and super-excellence in biscuits. Then they adopted
the world-old sign of the Swastika the symbol of good
luck and prosperity, as their trade-maTk.
But, ladies, the magic of the far-famed seal the best laid
plans even the high degree of excellence in Swastikas would
have been utterly in vain had not good housekeepers in their
thousands visioned the end from the beginning.
These loyal women clearly saw that a great pure food concern
would be a mighty factor in the prosperity of this city and region ;
they saw the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company as the source of a
steady stream of gold poured out weekly in wages as well as the
bakers of Swastikas the purest of all pure foods.
I
Resolve to march under the banner of prosperity today! Join the
ranks of the million Good Housekeepers who have made our
success possible. Tell your grocer that Swastikas, the best biscuits,
are baked for you. And look for the Good Luck seal the
sign of prosperity on a bursting sun, on the end of every package
of biscuits you buy.
