No other in importance in every home. state taxes have increased 521 per cent, population has only increased 16 per cent and assessment valuations only 20 oer cent." In other words taxation is declared the sole issue. But is it? Issues are not made by political central committees, but are forced by conditions. Taxation is an important problem, but not fundamental. Most of the taxation is of local and not state origin and the great bulk of excess taxation was voted by the people upon themselves. For years politicians have pledged lower taxes and officials pledged reduced ex penditures, but they keep mounting along with the increased extravagence of paternalism and the climbing cost of living. Important however as taxation is, the all important issue of the election campaign as not we are to have irresponsible Ku Klux Klan and allied secret to have visible and responsible the constitution. This important issue has superceded all others. The injection of religious and racial issues by the Klan has side-tracked, for the time being all other issues and will remain in the fore-ground until the principles of the Bill of Rights are triumphant or over-ridden. What, however, is the attitude of the Democratic state cen tral committee and of the Democratic candidate upon this important issue of invisible government ? This issue cannot be side-stepped. The Democrats cannot hide their heads in the sand, like the ostrich, and issue. The Democratic candidate cannot run with the hares and the hounds both. He cannot stand for constitutional and for invisible government at the his attitude, so the public may The Democrats cannot afford to trade principle for ex pediency. Neither party nor candidate can secure popular support by evasion. All those vital principles which brought the party into existence are as much at stake today as when Jefferson formed the party to combat secret oligarchy and preserve the rights of man, without regard to race or religion. It is not Democratic to trade the Bill of Rights, upon which the party was founded and the preservation of which is the solo excuse for its existence, for a mess of pottage an elec tion upon false pretenses. Nor is it Democratic to dodge public issues of such vast import to the future. Oregon can recover from excessive taxation and from an over-abundance of office-holders. These ills are fleeting and bring about their own correction. But to install invisible government, to turn the state over to secret societies, based upon religious and racial intolerance, means a fundamental change in government from which the commonwealth will suffer for years and which progress and eventually destroy will prove Oregon the moron AUTO STAGES 10 PAY LICENSES Silvorton, July 19 An extensive mount of business was transacted by the city-council at their regu lar mooting Tuesday evening.

May I express the wish that Mr. Olcott would assume towards all me cituens or the state a more tolerant attitude as to their re iigious, fraternal and other opin ions, and not seek to measure all of us by the yard stick ot any one religion or sect? The man who Is dig enough to be governor of Ore ion ought to be able to be Just and fair and the executive servant, as governor, ot Protestant and Roman Catholic, Jew and Gentile.

The present governor says in me newspapers he wants a re count, yet the day before he made that statement his attorneys in the pending contest autt served a series of dilatory pleas or' de murrers, labelled motions to strike, seeking on legal technical grounds to prevent that very re count. 'We should be glad to see more consistency between the statements given to the press and the facts.

What must the good people ot the state think of Mr. Olcott, who, after enlisting an army of state employes, tax eaters, to work for his personal pre-primary cam palgn at the expense of the tax payers of the state, and discharge such of those employes as did not slavishly adhere to his personal political machine methods, .as in the cases ot Gates, Elsworth and uthers, the result of which was sc disgusting as to cause that splen did citizen, Bert Anderson, to re sign from the Btate game commis sion; who after 115,000 votes have been cast for the nomination for governor claims that nomination by but 521; who declares himself willing to recount, yet fights on every technical ground a suit in the court to obtain such recount and who, when specific allegations of wrong are listed in about one- third of the precincts to show a plurality for Hall of over 4000 votes has been cast, still whimpers, that such conditions do not liuli cate "fraud or tinge of fraud?' Don't they? can the beneficiary of such a state machine of office holders complain when private citizens combine to make apparent the truth and to count the legal bal lots actually cast in the ballot boxes? It Mr. Olcott will spend part of the energy to help count the ballots that he expends to con test the opportunity to look at them, we would soon know what the actual situation in those ballot boxes is. We both . claim the nomination on the basis of the ballots cast; why is not the most expeditious way to settle'thls con test the prompt and unopposed opening of the boxes and counting ot the ballots?

The use of the words "Invisible Empire" in con nection with the authorized and le gal title of the organization is an ultra vires act without the sanction of the Georgia law under which the society is operating.
