Albert Raymond Kelly What is the Matter With Oregon? W. W. Cotton, counsel for the O. VV. R. & N. Company, said in a speech before the Rotary Club of Portland Tuesda 3 ’ of last week: “ We are biting off too many things; we don’t chew them enough, and some time our digestion is going to break down.” Mr. Cotton was talking of the lack of “ Re sistant Energy” on the part of the jieople who are asked to support the silly and useless meas ures that all the cranks and agitators seek to make into laws. Maybe Mr. Cotton was right, and maybe we attach too much importance to the legislative abortions, and maybe we waste more energy sometimes in growling about undesirable condi tions than it would take to correct the evils of which wc complain. The recent report of the Census Bureau shows that experts have calculated that the population of Oregon on July 1, 1914 will be 789,290, of which Portland wilbhavc 200,001. If these figures arc correct, Oregon will have made an increase in the last four years o f over 110 thousand, and Portland will have added more than 53 thousand to her population, a gain in her case of more than 25 per cent, while the in crease for the entire state is about 17 j>er cent. There are some states that have beaten Oregon and some cities that have outstripped Portland in the per eentage of increase, but as the average growth for the nation is estimated at a little above 7 per cent, we ought to feel that wc are doing very well. In 1880 Oregon had 175,000 population, and a state debt of $511,000. In 1912 (the last state ment at hand) the state debt had been reduced to $31,000, and the population now at 731,000. At the present time about 0.8 per cent of the total population o f the United States are in Ore gon; and less than one-tenth o f one per cent of the total debt is attribuded to this state. It is probaly true that radical legislation has, in the past, to some extent retarded the develop ment o f Oregon, but even radicals grow tired of cutting off their own noses, and the indications are that the fever has about run its course in this state, as all fevers do everywhere, and the reac tion is ready to set in. Having passed through the experience, this state ought to be immune for some time to come, while other states are learning the lessons Oregon has bought and paid for. Just when the wave o f immigration and pros perity is re ad 3 * to strike the Pacific Coast, Oregon, neglected, retarded, undeveloped, emerges from her period of experimentation a virgin held, where opporunitics multiply just in the ratio that other fields have been more exploited and developed. Just as the cow finds more luxurious pastur age in the field that has not been grazed, so the home hunter and investor will find in Oregon’s 95 thousand square miles o f land, with untold riches in undeveloped timber and mineral, and agricultu ral possibilities, opportunities not to be found where the population is dense and resources few. Maii 3 r of our people are worrying because, right now, other states are gathering in some in dustries they feel we ought to get; but they’ll not all stop in California, Washington, or Idaho, but many of them will be tumbling over each oth er to gain a foothold on Oregon soil before the close of the year nineteen hundred sixteen.

T Notice Of Administrator’s Sale Of Real Estate. GUS C. MOSER REPUBLICAN Stands for Economy and Effi ciency and Dignified Law En forcement. He voted and worked against the new tax law in the Senate, and favors paying taxes semi-annually without penalty. T o the Republican Voters In calling your attention to my candidacy for the Republican nomination for state senator, I invite your consideration of my record: I have always tried to be fair, and during my service in the legislature, I worked for what I considered the people’s interests. I probably made some mistakes —any one who does things is li able to err. I secured the passage of our present county depository law, which requires depositories to pay interest on county deposits. This law produces a revenue where none was ever produced prior to its passage; it brings in sufficient money to defray the expenses of the treasurer’s o f fice, bringing annually to the counties of the state nearly $100,000. The log boom company on the Siuslaw River is using its influ ence against me, because I pro pose to have such boom compa nies declared to be public utili ties and have them regulated by the Railroad Commission, so that if they m on op olize business, their enormous charges may be regulated so that they may only make a reasonable profit. I am a tax payer and own and operate a farm on the Long Tom River, and favor tax reductions, by cutting out present extrav agance. I hav« practiced law for six years. I appreciate the confidence the people have heretofore placed in me, and if I am nominated and elected, I will hold the o f fice as a public trust, and per form the duties o f the office to the best o f my ability, without fear or favor.
