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.
