6 THE ORECruTi STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, MAY li; 1922 , l1 n uhb -. . PLATFORM Former Salem Man Is One t.of Four Democrats on Ticket for Governor '' One of the four Democratic candidates for the nomination by that party for governor Judge Webster Holme of Tillamook, who was a Salem boy and com raenced his practice of law here and s well known to all old res idents of thla section. . vj'The way , to reduce 1 to re dace" is his slogan.- and the tol . lowinc is his platform:: il believe ia one term Incum bency. I would jbnly accept one term, so as to be free to carry out mr nrinclDles without build' ing up any political alliances, and to be under obligations to no oae, but the tax payers. I believe in-a constitutional government, as proTlded Irs our State Constitution, which divides our state government into three separate departments, namely: the legislative, the executive, in cluding the administrative and the Judicial. This is the wayour state government was formed and it proved to be a success and economical until we began to adopt a system of paternalism in the form of boards, commissions and bureaus. I would, if governor, try to have abolished all bureaus and com missions, excepting the industrial accident commission, which is. en tirely self-sustaining and. is functioning; and corporation com mission, which is a public neces sity. I would notj continue by ap pointment any of the appointive boards or commissions and would have them resign immediately, exceDt the Industrial accident commission and corporation com mission supervision over the in suranee department and state i banking department, if legislation to that effect can be had. 1 am opposed to and would veto aay bill for aay new tax, or any act creating an income tax. I be lieve an income tax only penalizes industry' and the energy of the Individual. I would veto any bill making unnecessary appropriations for any of the state schools. I would make them keep within their legal income from other sources and ad vocate in the universities a small tuition fee, if necessary to meet deficiencies. I would use every power to have simplified all systems of pub lic accounting, so as to reduce greatly the number of employes and the expense thereof. I am not in favor of and would refuse to continue any fish and game commission. They are un necessary and a great expense Let the commercial fishermen -propagate their own fish. Let the district attorneys and the sheriffs enforce all fish and game laws. I would see that a large per- WHY? is our store growing by leaps and bounds? Why is every patron a boost er?

I would use every power to see that we reduced in every possible way expenditure of pablic money. I stand for the constitutional officers doing the work and ad ministering the state , business with the least possible clerical help, in the manner which the constitution of the state provides. I realize that in order to reduce our destructive rate of taxation. that we must reduce state and public expense, by having more efficiency and less public employes and live within our income. 1 am a candidate for governor be cause I do not believe ajiy of the other candidates have declared themselves emphatic enough, and told us what they would do, nor how they would do it, to accom plish the desired result. I would do my best to eliminate every commission and board pos sible and every employe of the state possible. The only way I see to accomplish a saving is to have the constitutional officers do their assistants' work. Could not. then, the whole' state force of employes be housed once more ia the state house, instead of having to rent at state's expense, offices and rooms in Salem and Portland? I would insist that all state employes own their own convey ances or walk, instead of the state furnishing a large number of automobiles for them. STIU ARTISTS pflEserr mum Speaking Department and Woman's Club, Sponsor Event Tuesday in His Life and Record A friend says for him: "Judge Holmes was born Polk county in 1872, is 50 years of age, and a practicing attorney of Tillamook City He attended the common schools in Polk coun ty, and later attended The Dalles academy, Willamette university and the Monmouth Normal school. In 1893 he was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Salem, later moving to Tillamook, where he was appointed circuit judge by Governor Oswald West, for the 'Judicial district comprising Yam hill, Polk and Tillamook counties, to fill an unexpired term. He comes of old pioneer stock, his grandfather crossing the plains to Oregon in 1848 from Virginia. He has always affiliated with the Iemocratic party. . ' Judge Holmes, while he has al ways been identified with the Democratic party, belongs to no so called wing or faction of the same. He is under no obligations. political or otherwise, to any par ty, person or faction. "He is entirely free to carry out his drastic policies, in order to save money for the. taxpayers 'All who know him regardless of party,-will readily bear witness that he has the courage of his convictions, and is absolutely fearless." A delightful program was put on at Waller hall, Willamette uni versity, leeday night, by the public speaking department of the university, under the auspice of the Salem Women's club. The introductory part wrs a general musical and literary sec tion. Miss lluby presented two violin numbers that were highly appreciated. Miss Minna L. Hard ing, head of the public speaking department of the university, gave one reading. "The Happy Prince," a poem by Oscar Wilde, depicting the prince and the swallow, his messenger to humanity. It wa accompanied by the softest of piano music. Everett Craven sang "Requiem,," by Sidney Horn er, in good voice and with excel lent spirit. ; Miss Harding also presented "Nearer, my God, to Thee,'.' in the deaf language, while Miss Jeannelle Vandevort gave the music and the words. It was striking" number in its appeal. The Aenieid of Vergil, the epic poem giving the story of ihe flight of the Trojans and the ultimate founding of tho Roman empire, was given in pantomine, or tab leaux, depicting 18 scenes in that heroic story from the dawn of re corded history. The shipwrecks, the rescues, the battles, the silent vigils in the desert, the feasts, the coming to the court of the king, the temple of Juno, the hopeless love of Queen Dido for the hero Aeneas, her tragis - self-destruc tion, the coming of the princess and the marriage with the storm- tossed wanderer, all were given in living statuary form that al most made even a student want to study Greek and Latin that tell of, these marvellous stories. The production , was almost flawless from a production point of view, and held the audience breathless to the end. Miss Martha Mallory read the story aloud, and inciden tal piano music was played by Miss, Jeannelle Vandevort. Those taking part in the tab leaux were: Misses Strevey, Fer guson, Gregg, Rosenkrantb, Hobbs; Mesrrsr. Anderson. Cra mer, Skeen, Geyer, Neher, Cra yen.

There certainly can be no claim that the bonds purchased by Hoff com pare with the high grade bonds purchased by Mr. Kay. The prand jury states that he paid over $84,000 in enormous profits on purchases made, and the in dustrial accident commission rharge off in their reports f 100,- 00 on that account Mr. Crawford states that I or ganised the Bank of Commerce of Oregon City when I was deputy state treasurer; that I was one of its heaviest stockholders, and was elected its president while draw ing a salary of $250 per month from the state. All of these state ments are absolutely false and misleading. I never organized any bank at any -time or in any place; the Bank of Commerce of which I am now president was organized by L. D. Walker and associates, and Mr. Walker was president and' manager until he was elected president of the Scan dinavian Bank of Portland. He and associates offered a small block of the stock for sale to citi zens of Oregon City, and I took $5000 of it, or one-tenth of the capital stock. No state deposit was made in this bank for many months after Its organisation. Mr. Crawford and "Hoff endeavor to leave the Impression that I was receiving a salary from tne Dana while working for the state. I desire to state most emphatically that I never received one cent for salary, fee, .gift or commission from any bank, broker or friend, while acting as deputy state treas urer, other than bankers' discount in a few instances when bonds were purchased through brokers. which, unlike the grand jury states Hoffs deputy did, I turned the seine over to the state in every instance, believing that it belonged to the state as money earned by one ot Ita employes. the came practiced ; la bangs.

For Hark ye, the moet brilliant comedy drama in the history of picturedora is here, and 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is it. "The picture's on view at Mil ler's, and the big audiences are fairly pulling the bouse down. Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry,-make 'em thrill,' D. W. Grif fith said once, and the Yankee does all three superlatively. Its cemedy has Charlie Chaplin's brilliant aliveness and great com mon, human touch:-it has lieht- nlng flashes of William De Mine's fine whimsy; it has moments as great as some of Griffith's own; it has touches of 'Mirical Man,' spiritual vision; and yet it is much more, for it it is all Mark Twain. "In this film Twain again lives, and, though he has eone before. has triumphed as the greatest picture story writer'the world has seen. The adaptor's-hand seems fairly inspired. 'Never even at a premiere of a Charlie Chaplin picture have I seen a house more rocked with laughter than at 'The Yankee.' "As for the. cast, that, too. teems to have been chosen with Inspiration. Harry Myers is the slangy, capable, resourceful, ye chivalrous Yankee to perfection. No more appealing and soul-satisfying Sandy could have been found than Pauline Starke. Wil liam V.

Editor Statesman: Coming to your city last eve ning my attention was called to an editorial of the people signed by James W. Crawford. In many respects the statements made are amusing; and yet border closely on violations of corrupt practice law. Jimmie compares the administration of Hoff with that of Ryan, which is amusing, as I have never yet had the honor of being state treasurer, and it will be necessary for comparison to wait until two or four years from now. Mr. Crawford makes compari sons of bond purchases made by Hoff and former administrations, which, in view of the findings of 1 the grand jury of this county are certainly farcical; the grand Jury Investigated all- purchases made, and found nothing to criticise in transactions of the other admin istrations while severely con demning those made by Hoff. It is attempted to make capital out of a purchase made by Mr. Kay of $30000 of City of Portland bonds, that the Lumberman's Primaries May 19, 1922, 8 a. m. 16 8 p. m. - I ' ' ... ! si m. a x v - - i .
