(Candidates W Governor
When a candidate for public office makes a campaign promising what he will do if
elected, it is fitting and proper that the Voter examine the public records to ascertain
whether or not the candidate's record squares with his campaign promises. In the pres
ent campaign Candidate Pierce professes to be the apostle of lower taxes.
Mr. Pierce's Record
.... J .. . Of the $9,376,000 of state taxes for 1923,
Mr. Pierce specifically approved of $8,564,039.
This is 93 per cent of the total. Mr. Pierce had
no opportunity to vote on the other 8 per cent,
as he was not a member of the legislature when
it was up for vote.
9. Ha voted for (7 per cent of all tax appro
priation bills of the 1919 session of the legisla
ture, and for all the appropriation bills of the
special session of 1920.
3. The State Highway Commission now
works without pay. Mr. Pierce introduced a bill
to pay the commissonert $12,000 a year.
4. He voted to submit a bond issue of $400,
000 for a new penitentiary. Governor Olcott
has repaired the old one with convict labor at no
tax expense.
5. Mr. Pierce claims he wishes to relieve
real estate of the tax burden; yet he is the
author of a bill submitted to the legislature
which would exempt from all taxation moneys,
notes, credits and accounts.
6. In the last few years he voted for 18S sal
ary Increases.
7. He voted against the bills to consolidate
the state bureaus and commissions.
S. He Introduced a bill providing for the
most elaborate commission any state ever had.
He specifically provided "to secure every citizen
of Oregon an opportunity at all times to work
for the state," and provided a $5,000 salary for
the head of the commission. This bill was
purely Socialistic.
9. In the 1917, 1919 and 1920 sessions of the
legislature there were appropriation bills intro
duced totaling $10,552,000. Of these Senator
Pierce voted for $10,075,000.
Measured by every standard, Mr. Pierce is
the moat consistent little tax booeter the state
of Oregon ever had.
Vote
Mr. Olcott'$ Record
1. He introduced a change in the state sec
retary's report which has saved the state many
thousands of dollars since 1918.
2. His renovation of the penitentiary saved
the state nearly half a million dollars.
3. He secured funds for a training school
building for the Boys' Institute without a single
dollar or additional taxes.
4. He is the originator of the Oregon Blue
Sky Law, which saves the Oregon people mil
lions of dollars annually.
6. He was responsible for the stopping of
junketing trips by state officials at state expense.
6. He secured the passage of a budget law
effecting large economies in the state govern
ment, which could not otherwise be accom
plished. 7. The change in the State Sessions Law,
recommended by him, saves the state $10,000 a
year.
8. He has been universally commended for
the excellence of his official appointments.
9. He is responsible for changes in the ad
minstration of the state farms, which this yeer
brought returns of $491,000 into the state.
10. He has shown himself, by his acts, a
friend of the ex-service men, has warmly sup- ,
ported the bonus measure, and has administered
the law in the interest of the ex-service men
with honesty and efficiency.
11. He has taken the first real constructive
step In the equalisation of the state tax situation
by the appointment of a committee of experts
to investigate and report to the legislature the
. entire scope of the tax problem in this state,
thus assuring that any changes to be made will
be made along sane, conservative and construc
tive lines, which give far more promise of secur
ing results than demagogic bewailing and idle
campaign promises such as are being made by
the non-partisan candidate of the Democratic
party, especially in the light of his record as
the champion tax producer of the state of Ore
gon. '
