'WU1 THEY WANT TO KNOW IN A speech in Chicago recently, Senator Borah declared 1 that Oregon has the largest the Union. ; In the short period since Oswald West retired from the governorship of Oregon, the per capita tax in the state has mounted from $6.40 to $26.74, an increase to more than four time"3 the figure of only eight years ago. . These are amalline: f imire. . and thtire are more figures like them. Yet it as -a curious fact that, in spite of these startling figures,. te; whole campaign ot Air. uicotx s man asrers consists in nooh-poohing Mrv Pierce's '; insistence thai taxes can be reduced. That marks in his Corvallis address ing Governor Olcott in his speaking tour of the state and who is doing the: rough slugging for Jlr. Olcott. Ridicule pf Mr. Pierce's insistence that taxes tenor of every local spellbinder now campaigning" for Mr Olcott."" It is the tenor of all the articles in oicott newspapers, That taxes cannot be reduced as proposed by Mr, Pierce, is, indeed, the slosraii of , the Olcott campaign Governor plcotl himself has declared in his public speeches that "taxes may go L higher" five-mile stretch highway department m Tillamook county at a cost 01 $iooa had ' to be rebuilt ' within three years at an added cost of $118,462. The cost of rebuilding was greater than the original cost. Cannot such things as this be stopped in Oregon? If so. would not that reduce state as .this have to be continued, as Air. Olco.tt's managers and newspapers implyin their campaign ? - ; J , . T -Though Oregon hWthe highest per capita tax of any state in the country and Governor Olcott says that f 'taxes may go W a . - a ......... .. .. ii. . nigner," tne taxpayers ;oi uregon are paying ior tne main tenance and f operation of 435 state-owned automobiles and trucks, whiqh Air. Pierce estimates cost $150,000 to $250,000 a year arid which others , think cost even more. Must this extravagance continue! Can it not be cut, and at least a little thereby be taken off the big $26.74 per capita tax toll? : The Rex-Tigard road was completed by the highway de partment iruthe fall of 1918, so broken down that the department was compelled to rebuild it. Bids for reconstructing it bid received was higher; than the original cost of the road. The highway department concluded to rebuild the road on force account; at a cost not yet accounted for. -r'f i And there is the rpad jxh If illsboro Within a: year after its completion,' S. Benson, in his letter-of resignation, said of i that it was breaking to pieces so badly that it would have to be resurfaced' if not even regraded. And there is - the La. Grande highway, built by the state, which went to pieces in a year, and so on and so oni No wonder that former State Senator I. N, Pay, a prominent a vis i ' a y ' " 1 ' ' -m Wvv to me Dig-money sjusn tuna J to peat jrierce, ana tnat he is one of the chief managers of the Olcott campaign. It pays contractor to rebuild tnree years at an increase oyer AS . A . " . . . Is the claim of the Olcott way to stop this tremendous cost in-road building caused by having to rebuild Within three years or less permanent roads which the department had built with public money? What eJ$e nut waste can pe expected wpen the management in The department is so lax, that three engineers go on a midwinter excursion to California in a 1 state-owned Cadillac with a chauffeur as drivery and; instead of coming back in the Cadlr lac, return by, passenger s train at extra cost, leaving the chanxfeur to return alone in the state-owned car 7 llie .hul for this junket was 0.K.-ed by Governor Olcott. The California junket is a significance, It shows waste, the wildest of waste, ill the department. Remembering this, and remembering the per manent hard surface roads "that had to be rebuilt at more than the ongmal cost whin something to you that Oregon ninth of the entire road debt of it: Oregon, with a population of less than 800,000, is carryinfif more than one-ninth entire 48 stateS in the Union I with almost countless automobiles running wild, with junkets, and with roads being rebuilt at more than the original cost? Are the Olcott managers and extravagance not be stopped? The gross per capita debt of Oregon is exceeded by but one other state in the Union, South Dakota. The Oregon debt is $54.50 per; Capita. Our neighbor state Washington's is bQ $9.22. Will the Olcott managers and newspapers, who have been pooh-poohing Walter Pierce s proposals to reduce taxes, explain why Oregon's gross per capita debt is so high and The people of Oregon would mitted tbeir members to a faithful carrying out of the bridge plans. It seem to The Journal that Its suggestions offered in behalf of the public good pf Portland haye been me. ': Don't the people of Oregon 'know how to vote, without imported speaker with high - brows 'being brought ' in to tell - them-bow to think? Here is all this; battery -of big guts and little gun& this regi ment of orators and near orators. thesehattalipna of statesmen and near statesmen, . brought Jnto the stat to fight Walter Pierce, who is making m campalgp single banded and alone?.: And after all, Mr. Pferce, th sturdy, thoughtful Union county farmer, Is drawing the crowds, 4000 at Salem, 1090 at Ash land, against JS 2 by acttialcount at the Olcott meeting tha same night, and so on.; It looks as if what the people want is to hear, the nominee on how to cut taxes, not the poli ticians who live by politics. CAJf WEW AFFORD IT? ; ' MAKT Portland streets ar next to impassable. Many are nn paved.. Many are in urgent need, of repair. An 4 at th city hal therf are on file today applications for millions of dollar of improvements. The iTOprovement program for nex( year -ha been 'cut in half. Many 'repair have been- postponed. The reason 4s lack of a' sufficient engineering fore to complete : the full improvement program and the repair work. - ; i - ; Adjacent - property owners . pay the cQst pf improvements, but the city maintains th' engineering de partment and it: pays the cost of repair after a certain period. And neither repair nor improvements can b prosecuted without an engi neering "force. -. City official say a reduction In city revenue through failure of the voter to re-authorix the J-mill tax would cut the improvement and repair program te almost nothing.

To the Editor of The ' Journal I note the deplorable fact-that teams and trucks have been forbidden the use of the Burnslde bridge. Commodities have to be Jtauted arroan th rvr in and from thalirnnla- tnent houses, s factories, bakeriaii nd laundries, 90 per cent or which ire lo cated east of the Willamette irtver also, to and j from the east side: No. $ municipal freight package dock, and to and froiit the east side freight nouses ana . commission bouse ; and perishable "goods unloading tracks tot the Union Pacifla and gouthem Pa cific along1 East Second and East Third streets, at past Oak to Burpside, now for ever ene year. Tms greatly handi caps tall ef . our hauling and trucking businessr: and enormeusly increases our hauling costs as! truckmsr companies. as well aa greatly raises the cots to the ultimate, consumer. ; Costs would be" much lessened by the fese of a pew and widened bridge, with its proposed easy grades net to exceed 4 per cent. wita aaoea approaches. : Being forced to haul over Morrison or Hawthorne bridge, a Is now. being done, works an aaoea delay ana hardship on the southeast traffic dne to the added con gestion,: which would be eliminated with a new Burnside bridge; Due to tne steen grade approaches, it is im possible to haul heavy load by teams, or even by trucks, over the Broadway 4-and Steel bridges. Most people and voters j do not realise this condition. But, like "Jones," the public severally has to "pay ; the freight" due -to this inconvenience under present lnade Quate bridge approaches and bridg During the past year Morrison bridge has been out of us ever one third of the time ' for repairs. Hawthorne bridge has been out of use one sixth ot the time if or approach rebuilding and repairs, tturnaiae bridge has been ail of that time actually closed to all team trucking and traffic, and to all auto truck traffic The city and its ve hicular business have grown eastward enormously, with 6000 new homes and perhaps 310,000,000 of new business and apartment houses and factories, all of which nave but cpmpiexed the trans portation across the bridges. . We peed both the . new-Burnside bridge and -the proposed Ross Island bridge,, badly, to relieve present bridge congestion, which has become intolerable, at the rush hours. It will require two to four years to complete new bridges if voted in November ; hence we should prepare for our growth by; providing-' new bridge now. , Let s prepare - for a greater roruana i wiay b.

To the Editor of The Journal In my opinion th most Important problem in th present aser is'smsloyment for the peo ple. Thl problem seems to grow larger every year. Most of the world's un rest- wars - and revolutions yes. and its anarchists and so-called radicals ar caused from suffering due ta lack of Employment Europe is overpopu- rated. wun the excention of Russia. and this employment problem for them is Indeed a very gray one.- But the people of the United States, If they will get at the root f th troubl instead of trying almost everything else, can almost" if not wholly solve this Prob lem. The remedy is the stoppage of the flood Pf immigration. While -this country was hew and. undeveloped we needed about all the desirable immi gration . we could get but now that our country is setting well populated we must permanently check this "tide from Europe ; at times, perhaps, stop ping: it entirely will be necessary A great many - people would ruin, this country b ellowing It to become con gested Hke Europe with people coming nere taster than new Industries-(.pen for "them, j Just as surely as America Lbecomes over-peopled like Europe, Just so surety snail we have as much misery as they. So unless tha work in r orr.l. oi tms country wane up and send men n represent them who believe th time has come to permanently check Immi gration for th good of the working people, they cannot expect decent living conditions nor bone for anything but ta be brought to t. the, level ol the EXHORTS TO TOLiERANCB!
