Hi PURDY TO BE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR "Take the kick out of moon jhine and knock hell put of those drawing state money without first earning It," Is the sole and only jlank in tne piaiiurm 01 win s Pnrdy Salem bathhouse proprle m who announces that he is candidate In the May primaries for the democratic nomiuauou mvernor. His slogan reads, "No apologies for high taxes 1 was not repre enting the electors. Mr. Eurdy explains his candl Jacv as follows: I am not a' candidate tor gov. ernor of Oregon because I think mvaelf a big man, nor because I think I have done anything that jnerits that honor from the hands (I tbe electors 01 tne state, tin the other hand, I feel that I am lust an ordinary man among men -not very wise, use very poor Judgment at times, and would be wholly dependent on my Creator and the good people ot Oregon work in conjunction with me sleeted. Tbe reason that I have decided to enter this race for governor because our people are more or .leas dissatisfied with the way that our state government has been handled by officeholders in the past. The people think that too much of their money has been nnandered, and as a result the tais are too high. A tax reduction club was recent lv formed, but we can see that members are admitted and are In the lead without first having made an open confession for their past political record, and it seems that the only object this club has is to endorse some political candidates for office. I believe that political parties are a necessity just as much as railroad trains, passenger steam ers, automobiles and other use ful conveyances that are . used to get the people somewhere, and is reasonable to expect the patrons of these different useful enter prises to favor and travel by those In competition with one another which offer the best, service to tne public. The public in general dissatisfied right now for the old politicians are again foremost in the advocating of . reforms and changes, but the electors should not notice these reformers and their changes unless they are ad vocating them in the name of political party for one's party should and must be responsible for tneir party omcenolders as no man can stand alone In this re sponslbllity and trust and success lully work In conjunction with all the other state officeholders single handed. God, we read, used the weak things of the earth to confound the mighty, and the things that are not to bring to naught tne things that are. What are the people of Oregon going to use at mis time to contcund the mlehty, and to bring, to naught the seed that has been sown by these office holders in the pastT Which will continue to raise our taxes? Will they use the same political influ ence and the same identical pres. ence in the background to reverse themselves and to plow out this seed that has been sown, that the oesirea results may be' had? irau u tne public; press "here parents have followed their onsprings as far a the gallows after the conviction and sentence.

It does not always seem like a square aeal for everybody "in our land ot the free and the home of the brave" where office-holders should be content to register their name, and write thereafter "not my will but thine be done." . r WILL E.

FAIR STAR CONQUERS WllDOUTUW HORSE Bessie Love fans who greet every appearance of the winsome star on the screen with Open de light will have a chance to see an entirely new Bessie Love when "Penny of Top Hill Trail-' a Fed erated feature, opens at the Bligh theater ; -today, tomorrow and Thursday. :, No one who saw Miss Love In her previous releases could have guessed that she was a wizard on horseback and could out-devll the most daredevil of serial; heroes well, she wasn't until recently, and she learned all she knows about horses to play the part, of Penny in "Penny of Top Hill Trail." ..; ' When Miss Love read the book by Belle Kanaria Maniates, from which the film was adapted, she discovered to her horror that, In addition to acting a complex part, she was to ride several ;outlaw horses, and rescue a small boy from a runaway mustage, after a chase by automobile. Her Initial terror over, Miss Love set to work to learn to. ride not the usual society brand of side-saddle trotting, but riding as it Is still known In some parts of the west. She put herself into the hands of a cowboy, and for a mat ter of weks, learned the mysteries of sticking on the back of Unwill ing steeds. Several nasty falls were included In the lessons, but with characteristic pluck, the charming actress stuck it out. Finally her cowboy tutor ex pressed satisfaction at her ability, and Miss Love was ready to pro ceed with the filming of the pic ture. As for her rescue of the jtSall boy from the runaway horse, Miss Love, "just did it," as she said, without preliminary train ing courage and nerce were the only things required and she had already demonstrated those quali ties many times before. Miss Love was so fascinated by the exhilaration of riding that.she has purchased a string of spirited horses, and shen ow goes dashing around the countryside whenever she is free from the duties imposed on her by work In the studio.

Bart Campbell Washington, April 11. It is es timated that approximately $16,- 000,000,000 worth of tax exempt securities have already been issu ed by the federal government and the states, cities and other politi cal subdivisions of the country. In the judgment of Representa tlve Louis T. McFadden, of Penn sylvania, chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, It is high time to call a halt. The flood of tax-free securities he con siders a "gross violation of social justice" In permitting the evasion of taxation by wealthy tax dodgers. "It is estimated," said McFad den, "that more than $1,000,000, 000 of state and municipal tax- free securities were held by the wealthy whose federal income tax was 73 per cent of their total In come, the loss to the government was over $36,000,000, if the in terest rate on these securities av eraged 5 per cent." McFadden, who was formerly president of the Pennsylvania Bankers' Association and who is recognized as one ot the foremost financial experts in Congress, is seeking to have the constitu tion amended so that Congress would have the power to tax the income from securities issued by the states and their political sub divisions, and the states woud in turn be permitted to tax securi ties issued by the federal government. Proposes Referendum He has a joint resolution pend ing In congress to provide for a nation wide referendum on his proposed amendment, which would have to. be ratified by three-quarters, or thirty-six ot the states, for jtax -free securities to be made taxable. In response to his request for an expression of their attitude, the governors of Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Michl gan, Montana, Nebraska,' Indiana, Alabama, Delaware, Utah and Geo rgia replied that they wera favor ably disposed toward McFadden's proposal , to prohibit the "econo mic evil ot tax-free securities," in conformity with the President's suggestion to that end in his mes sage to congress In December. The governors . of .Mississippi, Loulsana, Oregon, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Missouri sent McFadden non-committal re plies, while the governors of but six states Maine, Kentucky, Okla noma, Rhode Island, Maryland and Massachusetts expressed op position.

"The issuance of tax-free secur ities makes possible the creation of two classes," McFadden stated, "the wealthy, free from burdens of taxation, and the workers, who are forced to bear the burden from which the wealthy are relieved. ; "This - unquestionably consti tutes a violation of social justice! which is crystallizing in wide- London- Captain .
