The following article from a re
cent issue of the East Oregonlan,
will be of special interest to Board
man people, as Jesse Winburn is the
man with whom S. H. Boardman is
working at 'Ashland. When Mi
Boardman was here a few days ago,
ho spoke enthusiastically of Senator
Pierce and is doin;; all be can to help
Petrce campaign. Senator Fierce is
to speak here soon. Below is the
article as it appeared in the East Ore-,
gonlan i
Portland, Ore., Sept. 29, Jesse
Winburn, of Ashland, won to the
cause of Waller M. Pierce by an ad
dress made by him in the Southern
Oregon town, lias sent his check for
$5,000 to the Democratic state head
quartets for use in the gubernatorial
campaign.
Winburn la a man of means who
after making a fortune in street car
advertising in New York came t.)
Southern Oregon to live, settling rtl
Ashland it was announced at one
t nil ,that he contemplated the erec
tion of a large hotel at that point.
In his letter to Senator Fierce, ac
companying the check, Winburn says
"I am an eastern man who has
come to Oregon to live, because here
I find In Hie climate, the scenery and
the soil an environment that appeals
to me strongly. 1 came with the in
tention of making an investigation in
an enterprise of considerable mag
nitude, but upon investigation, I find
that the taxes are so heavy on the
contemplated investment as to make
the profits on it highly problemat
ical. Ah a matter of fact, taxes in
Oregon, based on population, (are
higher and its bonded indebtedness
larger, I am told, than In any other
slate in the Union, "Recently 1
heard you speak in Ashland on the
subject of taxation, and your sound
reasoning, your common sense views
your proposals for the equalization
and reduction of taxation and your
general policies impressed me pro
foundly, 1 could see how, if you
were elected governor and your pol
icies carried out, ihe great stale of
Oregon could be relieved of the lax
burden it now carried Particularly
was I impressed with Ihe frank and
open manner in which you publicly
discussed the situation lhat now exists.
"The result of it all Is that I have
resolved to support your candidacy
for governor, and as an evidence of
my sincerity I enclose a check for
$5,000 to be used in your campaign
expenses. I want to see Oregon grow,
anl the way to make it grow is to re
duce taxes to the point where new
comers will find II advantageous to
settle here. Where taxation is great,
enterprise declines, and where the
cost of government is heavy, new
comers slay away nnd old settlers
Often go where conditions are morf
favorable.
'"Putting you In the governor's
chair means putting my taxes down
and I am Just selfish enough to rote
to I hat end
"I well knnw lhat an administra
tion which has increased taxation to
the point now reached in Oregon is
not the administration to put tax
ation down. So I favor a change, and
I believe that a change in governor
ship to Walter M Pierce will do two
things: "Increase ihe population
"Decrease taxation.
"That is win 1 am for you and
why I hope you will accept my con
tribution." An interesting feature of the Win
