' NO OPPOSITION TO HAWLEY Corvallls Newspaper Says Senator Avery Will Not Itun. Ex-Senator Punderson Avery, dem ocratic nominee for Joint Senator to represent Benton and Polk counties In the state legislature, has decided that he will not make the race, says the Corvallls Gaeztte-Tlmes. Mr. Avery investigated the record of Mr. C. L. Hawley, the Republican nominee, be came convinced that he Is an able man of high ideals and has written him to the effect that he- will support him. Mr. Avery Indicates that Mr. Hawley is never likely to get proper return of any sort for the service he will render. but wishes him good luck and a pleas ant campaign.

ASTONISHING FIGCBJES FROM COUNTY RECORDS. Tax for Support of Destitute Persona in Polk County Doubles In Two Years. This office is in receipt of a prohi bition campaign circular setting forth, among other arguments, that prohibi tion reduces pauperism; that there are less paupers in dry communities than in wet ones. Wrong again. It would seem like the closing of saloons ought to reduce pauperism, but It Is not true; at least. It is not true here in Polk County. Aid Polk County Is where we live and pay our taxes. Over ln the office of the County Clerk is a book called the Register of Warrants. This book shows all of the money paid out by the county, and on what account An examination of this record shows public money expended for the support of paupers ln the last four years as follows: t Wet Wet . Dry Dry 1907 1908 1909 1910 $1368.53 $1539.67 $2194.20 $2240.15 To be exact,' these figures show the total amount paid out for the support of paupers from July 1, 1907 to July 1, 1910, only. The county was diclared dry July 1, 1907, and these, figures show the expenditures for the last two wet years and the last two dry years. It will be seen that the property-own ers of Polk County are paying nearly twice as much taxes for the support of paupers now as they paid during the wet years. The fact is, if these figures covered to October 1, instead of July 1, of this year,.lt would be shown that they are paying over twice as much, for in the four months since July 1 they have paid the astonishing sum of $1132.22 nearly as much ln four months of the present dry. year as they paid out in the entire wet year ending July 1, 1907. . IIIgli-Ttde of Pauperism. High-tide in pauperism in Polk County was reached in August of this year, when the pauper bill reached the sum of $450.26 nearly as much mon ey in .one month as the county ever paid ln any six months under wet rule. The showing Is almost Incred ible, but the Register of Warrants and the cancelled warrants themselves are on file to, prove the correctness of the figures. It cannot be argued that a more lib eral policy is being pursued toward our unfortunate residents than form erly, for the identical men compose the county court that composed it four years ago, and Identically the same policy is being pursued now as was pursued then. There is simply more want and more suffering among the poor now than there was then, and this privation the court relieves when a case is brought to its attention. What Is the cause, you ask? The Observer must frankly admit that it does not knqw. It merely cites these figures to show that "the old and oft- asserted claim that all classes of peo ple are more prosperous in a dry county than ln a wet county has no foundation in fact at least, so far as Polk County Is concerned. Attends Golden Wedding. The Reverend -Joseph Hoberg, a pioneer minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, visited at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. M. Metzger, a few hours yesterday. Father Hoberg was on his way to his home In Mc Minnvllle from Salem, where he at tended the golden anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J. Royal. He says it was a notable gathering, in that seven persons were present who attended the wedding fifty years ago. Among' these guests were the brides maid and the grooms best man The clergyman who officiated at the wedding is still living, but was unable to attend the celebration, being a res ident of California at the present time, Father Hoberg is enjoying excellent health and called on many of his friends ln Dallas before his train left yesterday afternoon.
