'S::.;;-:; , . In fact, If . my reading of the public press ,1s not faulty, you have already been favored with some direct communications that I have not observed yon have! de bated. ' One of these I observed in the Albany Evening-Herald of March 22, 1924; being a. reprinted editorial from, the Sheridan Sun, whose editor Is one of the best known and highly respected edi tors of the rural press of the state. ,As you . may have lost your copy oz ine paper containing mac edi torial from the press of your own county, I am giving it. below, to wlt: - ' "Peter Better Be Candid.", y ' , "Peter Zimmerman has found It is one thing to run for state sena tor and something else yet to, run for United States representative. He got away with iconclasm in his own county, but now In the strange territory of the state at large, he finds his heated exhor tations chilled., by cynical hearers, who, unfeelingly, , are demanding to know what : he , did to serve Uncle Sam , during the war. Al though he has not replied to such critics as yet, records in the ad jutant general's office, show no participation by him in the armed forces, ?1n?" connection ' "with ? the draft boards, or other patriotic organizations engaged in the pros ecution of the war. The records do show, however, that PeterjZim inerman was of military age, but that he was exempted ffrom ser vice because of exemptions he claimed. Peter's exemptions may have been honorable; perhaps were, but In these days of search ing scrutiny of men in Official life Peter better be candid with the public and tell the truth -something he flirted with when. "aVa Nonpartisan leaguer, he ran for office on the republican ticket. Sheridan Sun." As you stress the issue of ad justed compensation for; veteran of the late war, I suppose you de sire to compare your record with that of Mr. Hawley. " Your own appears to be given in part above, to which the public attention has also been called, and if you desire to amend it we will be glad to hear from you. I understand your registration card for the draft dis closed you to be 30 years of age and unmarried; that shortly after the United States entered. the World war, and on or about May 18, 1917, you entered the service of a certain railroad company in the middle west and filed nuaer- ous affidavits and letters with the local draft board of Yamhill coun ty, Oregon, with the governor of Oregon and others to. have your name removed from Class A-l so as as to remove the possibility of being called at once Into the armed forces of the United States, and being unsuccessful in this, you left the service of the railroad com pany and took up employment with the Astoria' Marine IronWorks In the shipyards and possibly finally avoided any military service. Space will not permit a more detailed' statement; ; but If; you desire to state wliy; yoii' 'scrambled about like a cat on a. slate- roof to avoid serving : Uncle Sam, we will be glad to 'give" s3 me f pi our time to your explanation, but will bear In mind that-during all of that time Mr. Hawley was putting in ery bit of energy J he had to winning the war and aiding the- f amOles of theboys in the Service andthat his only : two. sons ;were with? the American expeditionary. ' f OTce, 4 France. - - Yes, he favors adeqpajte relief for the veterans of our wars, their widows and orphansj and so did Lincoln and millions of others of. the best citizens of.ouy land u Your communication' is repie?$ with misleading; statements hal would take volumes to answer k&4 as you probably ..have 'epotir a above to; keep yoa'basy fpr 'pQTCJts time,. 1 am, truly youra -v RONALD C.

' V cannot understand "how the public can fall to respond gener ously, ; Just because .there ls.no fee charged for admittance,' when Mrs. Demarest gives so- bountiful ly of herself.

The revival of the duel takes place in "The Fighting Coward," opening at the Oregon theater to morrow at 7 p. m. Ui. ? vA Price Cutting Taxes " -To the Editor of .The Statesman:.
