TAXES MUST BE REDUCED!
In the coining primary election, Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
will ask the vote of every person who believes the Srste of Oregon
need« to have taxes reduced snd expenses cut down. T h e only way
to reduce taxes and cut down expenses is to apply the same principles
in running the State that you would apply in running your own business.
( . H o w many institutions would run along with an increase of oper
ating expenses from year to year f
N o t many. W e ll, let’s reduce
our taxes and cut down our expenses. Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
is running on that platform and stands on his platform. G et him on ,
the job!
Start thinking about this todayd
W ill you elect a man who will cut down expenses and reduce
taxes, or a politician, as our next Governor ? T h e issue is clear.
O ne will cut down taxes— the other will give jobs to his political
friends. W hich do you want ?
