dicate that its people are fed up on
radicalism and are headed toward the
safe and sane for a while.
Within a year a million people have
left the farms, says a news item
And anyone who takes notice of the
increased number of piddlers, can
vassers, and agents who swarm from
the cities into the rural districts will
get some idea of what these surplus
city folks are doing for a living
Another million off from the farms,
less produce will be raised; more
customers are created for it; compe
tition in urban production brings down
prices. The mills of the gods grind
slowly but they grind exceedingly fine
Everything evens up in the long run,
The man who keeps chasing favorable
conditions inevitably gets left.
As an argument against the in
come tax a gentleman who recently
visited Monmouth told of an incident
at Klamath Falls. A Wisconsin man
had started a sawmill to develop
his timber holdings and had about
completed the erection of a new house
when Oregon passed an income tax
aw. He had left Wisconsin to escape
the income tax law and here was Ore
gon adopting a law that would penal-
ze his profits six percent. So he
discontinued his saw mill, ordered
his timber interests looked after by
an agent, and placed his new house
with a real estate man for sale and
left to find another state as a place
of residence.
Now, suppose this man, who has
already been driven out of two states
because their tax laws did not meet
with his approval continues to repeat
his experience as other states he se
lects adopt the same form of law. Of
course ho is bound to keep on. Will
he not in time become like the Wan
dering Jew or the Man Without a
Country? Would it not be as cheap
co pay taxes as they are levied
against him as to spend his substance
moving from one state to another?
A charter amendment authorizing
the Issuance of 1987,000 of bonds to
cover 75 per cent of the cost of ac
quiring rights-of-way for wide bridge
approaches was adopted by the voters
of Portland at the special city elec
tion held March 4 by 5664 majority.
Discussion of the labor situation
in Oregon and outlining some plan
whereby workers may be distributed
to the best advantage of both em
ployer and employe, will feature a
meeting of the seasonal employment
commission to be held in Portland Saturday.
An order for a special election to be
held In Lane county May 16 at the
time of the primaries to vote upon the
question of levying a special tax of
2 mills to raise Lane county's share of
the cost of constructing the Pacific
highway bridge over the Willamette
river at Harrisburg was made by the
county court.
There were two fatalities In Oregon
due to industrial accidents during the
week ending March 13, according to a
report prepared by the state industrial
accident commission. The victims
were: Louis Larson, Holbrook, fore
man, and D. B. Wagner, Molalla, edger.
A total of 615 accidents were report

To the Republican Voters of Polk
County:
Believing that the voters should be
acquainted with the qualifications of
a candidate for a public office, I beg
leave to take this means to inform
you of my qualifications for the
office to which I aspire, viz., that of
District Attorney for Polk County. I
was educated in the public schools of
Yamhill County and McMinnville,
now Linfield, College, from which in
stitution I graduated with the degree
of Bachelor of Science. I taught
school in Yamhill, Tillamook and Polk
Counties. I came to Dallas in 1907
as the county agent of the Oregon
Fire Relief Association of McMinn-
villle, Oregon, which position I held1,
until 1912. In 1909 I was elected to
the office of Auditor & Police Judge
of the City of Dallas, Oregon, and
was reelected at three successive
elections. I was admitted to the bar
in 1917 and practiced law with Ex
County Judge Ed. F. Coad until Feb
ruary 1918, when" I became associated
with Oscar Hayter, the well-known
Dallas attorney, in the general prac
tice of law, and this association con
tinued until September, 1923, when I
was appointed secretary of the Tax
Supervising and Conservation Com
mission of Polk County. I held this
position until the Supreme Court held
invalid the law creating such com
mission. In October, 1923, I was ap
pointed treasurer of Polk County,
which position I now hold. '
Very respectfully submitted,
CHARLES GREGORY.
