CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN
THEN AND NOW
This sermon will deal with facts
taken from the bible and subsequent
history, and will outline the way to
meet the present situation.
In the evening service the theme
will be; ‘Spiritual Law Applied In
The Parables.’ This sermon will deal
with fundamental principles of the
spiritual life. It will hit hard at the
superficial things. Let us find the
bases for security.
The present court house at Jack­
sonville was built in 1883.
The population of Jacksonville
was then 8116. Jackson County’s
population is now over 25,000.
The assessed valuation of Jack-
son County in 1883 was $2,053,2000.
It’s assessed valuation is now over
$30,000,000.

1. We heartily favor the Oregon Direct Primary law and are unalterably op*
posed to any alterations or amendments thereto which seek to take from
voters their right and privilege of nominating candidates for public of­
fice. The convention is a relic of the past.
fâ 2. We hold that the Dennis Resolution is inimical to the best interests of our
county and state; that it is unfair, unjust, and if adopted will bind Ore­
gon to a fixed program from which there will be no recourse for a period
of 14 years, establishing a Precedent that is dangerous in the extreme.
3. We believe in the strictest economy in government, consistent with a
growing State and State Institutions.
4. We are opposed to the adoption of additional unnecessary laws which
serve no other purpose than to entangle Oregon citizens in a maze of red
tape.
5. We believe in law enforcement, BUT HONEST LAWS UNDER WHICH
CITIZENS OF OREGON CAN LIVE WITHOUT BEING OUTLAWS.

papers where they stand on these important issues
