R epublican C andidate
For R epresentative
O f C lackam as County
TA X PA Y ERS:-
I cannot sec any ju st reason why we
should not build all of our main roads
as much as the much talked of Pacific
highway by a s ta te tax, o r 1 will con­
cede an appropiation from the s ta te
eith er way, ju s t so th at the people th a t
are benefited the most have to pay
th eir share, and th a t is ju s t the reason
1 place it in my pledge to support a
m easure o f this sort and will intro­
duce it.
Every man knows, if he knows any­
thing. th a t for every mile of road b u ilt
the m etropolis of the s ta te g ets the
lion’s share o f benefit. Take the 24,000
automobiles in the sta te ; over one-half
are owned in Portland alone and the
re st are scattered all over the sta te .
Look a t Multnomah county, with her
$300.000,000 assessed valuation and poor
old Clackam as county >vith her little
$30,000,000 assessed valuation and about
four tim es the am ount o f road to build.
Why should Clackam as be taxed to
death to build roads for the benefit o f
Portland? I f you raise a 2-mill s ta te
tax for a hard surface road fund to be
proportioned according to the miles of
main trunk line in its county, then you
can g et your main lines banl surfaced
and not until you do. and then reduce
your main road tax, if you w ant to.
Now, if you don’t do som ething of this
kind, you will confisticate the fa rm e r's
land, for if they are in the sam e fix
th a t I am, which I guess they are, we
c a n 't stand m any more 18-mill tax es
like I am paying now, and have for
th ree years past. Portland has only
1.8 mills and then hollers her head off
because we don’t build roads for her
m otorists.
I d o n 't believe I ever asked f o r any­
thing but w hat was ju st and rig h t in
my life, but I believe this is equitaole
and right and ju s t and if it is rig h t
why should 1 not ask for your support
to try and put a m easure through o f
th a t sort, and if I accomplish th a t
alone it will be w orth the while.
LABORERS OF ALL CLASSES:-
When you go into the booth to c ast
your ballot for th e office of Represen­
ta tiv e to the legislature, think of this:
E very man when p u t to a te st should,
i f he has th e proper stuff in him, being
tru e to him self and family, which I will
give the o th er fellow credit for having,
vote fo r and work for his particular
line o f business. My opponents a re
doctors, law yers, bankers ami e x-bank­
ers. I am a laboring man. and you all
know, a tig h ter if necessary.
