los of premier, .minister of internal af

instead of old line politicians, the new
premier has alienated several great
political groups which previously held
the balaneo of power. Ho announced
the cabinet would bu the government
'as well as the ministry and would
speed up Italian industry. Count

John flavin, local Democratic lead
er, has just returned from a trip over
the county. Conservative In his state
ments, Gavin said he was greatly sur
prised at the volume of support being
manifested for Pierce. Many Olcott
supporters, and generally accepted as
old-line Republicans, uro "flopping
over" to the Union county candidate,
Gavin said Monday. On his Irip, Ga
vin declared, he made no attempt to
seek out Democrats, und his observa
tion generally was that parly lines are

Further evidence that Il.rce critics
are insincere in their charges about
the school loan he received in 1S03 is
provided in news that Governor Olcott

loans of the very character made to i
Mr. Tierce while George E. Cham
berlain was governor. Tom Kay, who
was state treasurer at the time, also
approTtd such loans.

Chairman of State Highway
Body Attacks Pierce and
Defends Road Program.
Taxation is not an Issue In tlie res

Chairman II. A. Rooth, of the state
hlghwny commission in u speech
which ho nindo last night to about 75
men and women (it the Alta (heater.
Walter Pierce slated that he would
work for lower taxes when he an
nounced himself early in the cam
paign, and the republican party in an
assembly .of workers expressed Itiielf
as being favorable lo reducing tho
costs of government stated Mr. Jlooth.
"With both parties pledged to re
ducing taxes, it becomes plainly evi
dent that taxation can not bo consid
ered the chief Issue of the election."
A contrast of conditions as they
were In Eastern Oregon f.o years ago
with what they are today was painted
by the sneaker when he contrasted
houses of that day and this, furniture
used ln the houses, roads, schools and
higher oduenllon.
An attack against Pierce's record as
a legislator mi mal tern of taxation in
connection with his present stand
against taxation was expressed by Mr.
lioolh. He did not say that Senator
Pierce voted wron-r when he voted for
9,1 per cent of the taxation measures,
hut hi- said that Pierce's present atti
tude Is not in line with the attitude
he assumed as a legislator.' Ami leC

that part of It which is not Initiated
Mid voted by the people thamselves, he
said. The governor, Mr. Rooth declar
ed, has l'ttle to do with tax measures
Hp can use the veto, and can swing
the weight of his personal Influence
for or against measures. After the
governor has done this, the rest must
be left up lo legislation.
