In this campaign, Walter Pierce has gone . about the country melo-dramatically tearing tax bills in two by way of illustrating what he will do to taxes if elected. The voter, then, should analyze the tax mat ter to the extent of becoming informed as to just what part the governor plays in imposing or reducing taxes. In the first place, the voter should know that 'the total levy in Oregon for 1922 is $40,473,906. This is a reduction of over $1,500,000 from last year, so that it will be seen the high cost of government following the war is already reced ing. Of this 1S22 levy of 40 million, over 31 mil lion was for county, city and school district - purposes, over which the governor could have no possible control whatever. Of the remaining 9 million for state purposes, only 3 million are taxes over which the legis . lature has any discretion, and of this amount; only 2ZA million are for the actual expenses of state government and might, therefore, in even the remotest degree, be charged to the methods employed by the governor in administering tho state's affairs. In passing, it should be noted that this state levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1916, and not several hundred per cent, as stated on various occasions by the democratic candidate. It should also be noted that less than half of . this 41 per cent occurred during Mr. O Icon's administration. This ability to keep down the cost of the state government to so small an increase, when living expenses In the ordinary home in the same period increased over 100 per cent, is a most creditable showing. MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD It is proper at this point to examine Mr. Pierce's own record on taxes end see if past actions as a legislator square with his words. Of the $9,378,289 of state taxes for 1922, which include the millage taxes, MR. PIERCE SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OF $8,664,039, or 92 per cent. He had no chance at most of the other 8 per cent Of the 1922 state taxes, Pierce introduced bills accounting for $1,429,126, or 15 per cent In addition to this, he voted for tax bills introduced by others to the amount of $6,114,- 109, and he has given his public approval on numberless occasions of measures passed since he was returned from the legislature causing taxes amounting to $1,020,804, making a total of state taxes approved by Pierce of $3,564,038, or 92 per cent of the total 1922. There is no telling how much of the remainder he might have approved if he had had a chance, and it may be significant that the state taxes have decreased over 11 per cent since Mr. Pierce was retired from the State Senate. Mr. Pierce has always been a consistent tax booster. He voted against only three per cent of all the appropriations of the 1919 session of the legislature and voted for all the appropria tions of the 1920 special session. In 1917 Mr. Pierce introduced a bill to exempt money, notes, mortgages and accounts from taxation. Yet he poses as being anxious to take the burden off real estate I He voted for submission of $400,000 bond issue to build a new penitentiary. Mr. Olcott, at no TAX expense and with prison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary in excellent shape for another 25 years. Mr. Pierce voted against accepting road ma chinery from the government That machinery now amounts in value to $1,800,000. GOVERNOR OLCOTT'S RECORD The above are but a few of the extravagances of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has conducted the business of the state in an eco nomical, sane and business-like manner. He has saved the state thousands of dollars because of his level-headedness and his intimate knowl edge of state affairs. He built a new Boys' Industrial School Building by diversion of a millage fund, and therefore, without a single cent additional tax. He has insisted upon devel opment of the various state farms connected with the state institutions until the present year shows the unprecedented income from this source of $491,511. He is no talker, no politi cian, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-election under false pretenses nor catering to preju dice, but is going to the people on his own splendid record, confident that if he can but jet that record and Mr. Pierce's record before the voters of Oregon that he will be vindicated on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7th, 7 SHTCh for GO VERMOI REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WALTER L. TOOZE, Chairman C. E. INGALLS, Secretary. Why Over a Million Americans Now Bathe Internally Accumulated waste in the lower intestine causes the majority of human ills. All physiciani will tell you this, and that it also robs us of half our "pep" and ambition, causing headaches, biliousness, etc., even before we are ill. Drugs never have and never can keep the intestine clean. By the uie of pure warm water, administered by the 'J. B. L. Cascade', it is thoroughly cleansed and the poisons are kept out of the' system. You will know what it really means to feel 100 per cent, in the morning after an Internal Bath the night before but not until then. So say many right here in this city, who have bathed internally for years and are now cor respondingly healthy, happy, strong and ambitious.
