but not so easy to put Into effect. The

the supply of steel from this country

to pay the price which this country had
fixed for Itself. i
It may be said on good authority'
that Director General of Railroads Mc
Adoo will do his part to secure use of

can see that action on his part will be

cut down, congestion at terminals. He

Less Food Is Eaten
When Tobacco Used
Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. Tha use
of tobacco by our troops in the trenches
plays no small part in the conservation
of food, say marine corps officials here,
who estimate that from 25 to 30 per cent
of food is saved daily in this manner.
While authorities admit the detrimen
tal Influence of narcotics, they assert
that tobacco relieves the nervous ten
sion of soldiers who are under continual
Shell fire.
"Early in the war, declared a ma
rine off ioer, "the French discovered that
men who smoke eat considerably leas
food, and only recently the British food
controller issued the statement: The
British troops In the trenches must
have tobacco or much more food.' "

Louis J. Simpson of Coos county has
entered the lists as a candidate for tha
Republican nomination for governor at
the primary election of May 17, having
made formal announcement of his in
tention .Wednesday afternoon.
The principles upon which Mr. Simp
son will go before the voters for nomi
nation, and those things to which ha
pledges himself if nominated and
elected, are aet out in the following
statement and platform issued by him:
"In announcing myself as a candidate
for nomination for governor on the Re
publican ticket at the primary election
to be held on May 17, 1918, I desire to
appeal to the voters of Oregon as in
dividuals, who. aa such, are well quali
fied to Judge the Issues of the day and
who can and will vote aa their Judgment
shall direct.
Wni Make 2To Fledges
"I am a Republican and believe in the
principles of the Republican party, and
above everything I am an American and
believe in the principles of my country.
I am not a member of, nor affiliated
with, any particular faction or part of
the Republican party ; nor am I pledged
to support any of the candidates for
office at the coming primary election.
"I pledge the people of Oregon, that.
in conducting my campaign I will not
support any particular candidate for
office in preference to the other candi
date for the same office; that I will not
promise appointment to office or poll'
tical patronage to anyone; that If nom
inated and elected I shall enter office
with neither promise nor pledge to re
deem, except those which I glvo to the
people themselves ; reserving the right
to make such appointments and to con
duct the office with whatever unpre
judiced independence the best interests
of the people of Oregon and the devel
opment, peace and welfare of the state
shall demand.
Will Make Personal Camnalen
"If The voters decide that they do not
desire that I be their candidate I will
give my undivided support to the Re
publican candidate of their choice.
1 snail, aa zar as possible, make a
neraona.1 cammln. with the ohl.-rr of
meeting aa many individuals as time
win permit, ana snail enaeavor to estab
lish and maintain a close personal rela
tionship with the people of the state,
so that I may the better know and
understand their needs and require
ments. "In tha present struggle for world
peace, democracy and the very exist
ence of the nation itself, the first obli
gation of every man, women and child
is to the land of their birth or adop
tion. Faithful to that obligation. Oregon
is proud of its contribution in men,
money, food, lumber and ships.
Would Enforce Laws
"The entire wealth and all of tha
resources of the state have been placed
at the disposal of tha government, and
If nominated and elected, I shall accord
the nation and the administration that
full and complete measure of support
and assistance with Its patriotic citi
zenship has already enacted.
"The people of Oregon have placed
upon tha - state , books certain ' law
which, if nominated and elected. X shall,
with all tha power and authority of
tha office of governor, rigidly and un
oompromlaingly enforce. Tha spirit of
tha times and the vital Importance of
state-wide prosecution of tha govern
ment's war activities require that law
and order shall prevail. I shall con
sider it my sacred duty to preserve such
a condition.
Favors Eight Hoar Iaw
"I favor tha establishment of a na
tional, universal eight hour day for all
classes of labor except for agriculture,
the very nature of which, makes it Im
possible to restrict the working hours to
any set number.
"I am firmly convinced that the prog
ress, prosperity and development of Ore
gon demands that all lines of business.
with due consideration for the absolute
necessity of practicing most rigid econ
omy, be maintained as nearly normal aa
war conditions will permit; and that
public expenditures sijould be limited to
actual necessities, under no circum
stances permitting private or public im
provement to interfere with the success
ful prosecution or tna war.
"I favor the comprehensive' improve
ment and construction of roads, partic
ularly the main or trunk highways.
which are of themselves military neces
sities, and I believe that during the war
this work should be prosecuted only
with the consent and approval of the na
tional government.
"I favor the construction of an ade
quate system of military highways for
tha defense of tha Pacif lo coast and be
lieve that tha national v government
should undertake such construction Im
mediately anon the termination of the
war. so that those resources, upon which
tha nation Is so largely depending in
prosecuting tha war. will be properly
conserved and protected and further as
a means of affording employment zor
the hundreds of thousands of soldiers
during the period of readjustment or
until such time aa tha productive activ
ities of peace will require their em
Premises Good Administration
"If nominated and elected:
T ah ail encourage and support such
legislation as may be necessary for the
establishment of nation-wide prohibition
and tha permanent adoption of equal
suffrage in tha state and nation.
I shall endeavor at au times to create
and stimulate that patriotic cooperation1
between employer and employe rendered
so necessary by tha strenuous conditions
of war and so essential to the progress
and advancement of the state.
"I shall aid and assist In every way,
commensurate with due and proper econ
omy, the educational system and Insti
tutions of the state and In every pos
sible manner increase their efficiency.
"With a knowledge and appreciation
of tha enormous natural resources of
Oregon I shall endeavor to promote de
velopment of those resources through
establishment of new Industries and by
enoouraglng settlers and . urging; such leg
islation as will tend to make living con
ditions better for them and for tha thou
sands of workers and laborers through
out tha state.
"In administering the office of 'tha
state's highest executive I shall consist
ently endeavor to give to Oregon an Im
partial, clean, economical and business
like administration, an administration.
which will have as Its Ideal, the greatest
possible advancement of the- moral, so
cial and economic prosperity oWne peo
ple or ine state, and through an aver in
creasing development of its tremendous
resources keep Oregon at the top in the
vast fabric of. our national life."
