R epublican C andidate For R epresentative O f C lackam as C ounty T A X PA Y ERS: I cannot see 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 sta te tax , or I will con cede an appropiation from the s ta te e ith e r way. ju s t so th a t 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 I place it in my pledge to support a m easure of this so rt and will intro duce it. Every man knows, if he knows any thing, th a t for every mile of road buiit the m etropolis of the s ta te g ets th e lion's share of benefit. Take the 24,000 autom obiles in the s ta te ; o ver 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 w ith her little $30,000,000 assessed valuation and about four tim es the am ount o f road to build. W hy 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 hard surfaced and not until you do, and then reduce your main road tax, if you w ant to. Now, if you d o n '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 can ’t stand m any more 18-mill tax e s 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 for any thing b u t w hat was ju s t and rig h t in my life, but I believe this is equitaule and rig h t and ju s t and if it is rig h t why should I 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. LABO RERS O F ALL CLASSES:- W hen you go into the booth to c ast your ballot fo r the office of R epresen ta tiv e to the legislature, think of this: E very man when put to a te s t should, if he has the 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 for and work for his particu lar line of business. My opponents a re doctors, law yers, bankers and ex-bank ers. 1 am a laboring man, and you all know, a fighter if necessary. Yours. E. D. OLDS. Paid Adv. Coming! The U. S.
