Batchelorj married Mrs. Pettibone's
daughter, Helen, four years; ago in
Portland. He was a painting con
tractor here. The 'husband's actions
almost caused his wife to leave him at
various tiroes, it .was stated, : but he
finally promised to follow the straight
path and they went to California to
start all over again. - - --A
few .weeks passed and a check is
sued' to a local garage and said to
have been signed by Batohelor was
turned town as worthless. Mrs. Petti
bone told her daughter of the affair,
and a separation followed.
Some time agb Mrs. Pettibone re
ceived, word from her daughter that
Batchelor had left her for good. .Then
last Saturday night the husband
showed up at the Pettibone home under-peculiar
circumstances.
He tried! to Induce Mrs. Pettibone,
she says, .to go with him to Cali
fornia, but! she refused. The trip was
to have been made r by automobile.
Then followed the sudden sickness of
Mrs. Pettibone. and Batchelor dropped
out of sight During the time of
Batchelorsi visit here, ' a quantity of
clothing belonging' to Charles Petti
bone was stolen from the country res
idence at Raleigh station.

provided that 1580 be paid if, the (in?
eome reaches 5,0v(., but the 'grange
bill was too high. ' Our Income tax
should reach a portion of those .whose
incomes are under $50,000. bet which
still are ' high. " I would tike to raise

on the ship subsidy, bonus and for

Pierce b address was replete with
facts and figures showing the present
unsatisfactory situation and suggest
ing concrete remedies.
DOESS'T THKOW MUD .
His Bpeech was charaoterlsticly free
from mud-throwing and nefarious at
tacks upon his opponent or the oppos
ing party His only mention of the
opposition was in a casual reference to
statements made by the Morning Ore
eonlan. '
"X have come to realise Oregon's
problems from, all different angles and
I say' that the biggest issue now before
us is the tax problem," Mr. Pierce de
clared. "Next to that, in my opinion,
is the public school question.
"The rising tide of public charge is
going so high .that it will swamp us
all. it is .the cause of the ruin of the
farmer, the mechanic now before me,
the small home owner of St. Johns
and of all the rest of Portland. It is
depopulating the country'' and forcing
our boys ! to flock to . the city. It is
striking at the foundation of the Ore
gon home and throwing the farmer and
the city home owner into the mire of
debt and financial ruin. It is bearing
dawn hard upon . us and I have there
fore set my fight upon a more equit
able distribution of the public charge.
CAN'T PAT TAXES '
"The tax line is breaking the farmer
and X know what I am talking about
because I am one of those farmers. I
have hot paid my taxes for two yeaTs
and I cannot meet them this year and
thousands of other farmers are in the
same fix.
; "One half of that line" Is the state
tax, and what I am talking about is
the cutting down ei mat tax. une
half of the -property of the state is not
on the. tax rolls. One fourth of the
rest is paying biessed'llttle of what it
ought to, and the other one1 fourth- is
VB.GE8 TIMBER TAJf ;
"In addition ' to thup 'income, tax ;f I
would place a severance tax on all
timber taken ; from 'forest reserves.
Under the present ayttem, thli tax Is
escaped because the title to the prop
erty remains witf- the government. The
state is so much the poorer every time
a tract, is exploited and the state
should - receive some compensation. .
V "As to the school bill, I am. ready to
go down fighting- for the free puelle
schools. If there is any hope in Amer-4
lea, it Is in her public schools. Educa
tion is everything, not. only book learn
ing, but ail mat goes with the public
school is valuable to ouf -civilisation.
There i: nothing mere valuable to the
perpetuity of 9ur free government than
our children, and. their proper educa
tion in ithe free public schools."
' Watklns declared Sairnself In favor of
the soldien. bonus because' "it wCl give
the opportunity for the government to
adjust ex-service men to somethtng
like their status before the war.
: : It is rfghCt ha : eaioV "because it
means the payment of a Just debt. w
