Oregon re i i . h 5 i '' 'r : X:vv v ' .. I. L. Patterson of Eola, for many years prominent in the pub lic life of Oregon, has been ap pointed Oregon manager for the Coolidge . campaign for president, and has accepted. The appoint ment comes from the board of managers at Washington through James J. Reynolds., Authority on Taxation. Mr. Patterson is one ot the best' known Republicans in the state. He - has .been attracted - to the ! standard of President Cool idge by the latter's recent, message, in which : the - president ' is com mitted to the policy of tax reduc tion Senator Patterson, -who serted several years as state sen ator for Polk" and ; Benton coun ties, has been a student of tax ation and both ' in the legislature and out of it he has been an ad vocate of tax reduction. As a step toward .bringing this about in , Oregon, " Senator Patterson championed the ' budget - system Tor, Oregon and in 192 2 he car ried the message of 'tax: reduction to all parts of the state. Coolidjr Views liked 1? I '.: It is admitted that the business of the country Is being handicap ped! by- excessive .taxation and Presidept Coolidge'8 policy for" re-. duct ion. Is in perfect accord with the views of Senator Patterson. It was this 'that caused the senator to agree to .take up the responsi bilities 'of directing the Coolidge campaign In Oregon. ' "The' offer was fgtfderi&& from Washington," said , Sneator Patterson,- "and, J accepted , be cause vof the course- of .action map ped; out and. the reeommendatios made by President, Coolidge in his address to .congress.; I .was es pecially interested in two subjects In ?the message. The first was reduction of taxes and the second was on cooperative marketing. These are matters in which I have a lively interest and which, I con sider, are important factors in the welfare- ot the country . today. The reduction of tajfes ;. affects everyone and cooperative market ing is vital not alone to the agri cultural. Industry but to the con suming public as" WelL w ... t; ' In" Xo'IIiirry . "There Is no hurry about In augurating the work of the cam paign, but I will be in Portland this week to look, around. - "'Headquarters will., be estab lished in Portland and the Cool Idge forces will be directed from the metropolis. The campaign will: not open up until February; but 'from that time on an aggres sive fight will, be waged, to keep Oregon in the Coolidge, column. Senator Patterson has been, identified with, the activities of the ! state and the Republican party, throughout a long period. Years ago as collector of customs he conducted the office so effici ently that with a force reduced at hia own request, he handled more business and at a saving ot thou sands . of. dollars to the govern ment. That an. officer should re commend a reduction, instead of an Increase " in his f force is un usual. The senator considers him self a "dirt" farmer, for he con ducts successfully a ranch near Eola,' across, the " river from Sa lem, und gives his' occupation as a -i farmer. - It was when he be came member of the state fen ate" that he' applied the pruning knife ' and as chairman, of the ways and means committee put into i. effect p-ans for tax reduc tion!

I returned, smiling at the thought of. our illegal fishing party being represented as I 'did not doubt It . would be for 4he benefit of petty officialdom as being a screen for investigation upon the part of mysterious ''higher up" authorities. j.
