BEDE MAKES REPLY TO HIS OPPONENT fl TAf.K (iRO K AMII)ATE RI.PMKS TO INTF.RVIKW OF JOHN B. HKI.L I COTTA;K fiKOVK, April 20. Kd ; itor )eniO rat : 1 not? with ret'ret ; that my opponent for the nomination Ur joint senator of I-inn and I -a no i ' tHinl.es aei-s fit to make a personal a Tuck upon nn-, I shall pursue no auch course towards him. I am unV w.y the nomination ujon my own mer lin and riot ujKn the demerits of mv opponents, but Mr. Ik-It's attack upon me calls fur a reply, and I ahall con fine myself strictly to that. My opponent say I have stolen his thunder in coming out in opposition to (.he present form of publishing the de linquent tax list. His platform wa filed with the secretary of sUite two weeks before mi.ie and if he did not take advantage of that opportunity to beat me to it, certainly that ia not my fault. My stand on thia proposition leems to I popular, which may be the reason other candidates are takiiur it up. I In-lifve in saying what I think and in doinir what 1 say, and I do not wait to see what others are iroin to say or do. Mr. Midi is correct when he says ! was the paid lobbyist of the neavspa lers itt the last session of the legisla ture and as concerns the delinquent tax list bill, I opposed the bill pre sented by the democratic Orejron Journal because that did away en tirely with the publication and be cause representatives of The Journal let it slip that that was the first mov let it slip that that wad the first move in a shrewd sin We tax campaijn, all proerty once sold for taxes to for ever remain the property of the s'ate. I picked the less of two evils and I jfot what I went after. I propose to jfet w hat I vro after at Salem next win ter and I thank my opponent for his compliment upon my ability as a po tfetter. Iet me say that the newsjiapers which now benefit by the publication of the tax list are supporting me in my plan to brintr relief to the delin- ay Motor L "IJUCKtYfAJUSTO .1 - rr:z----'i7-j.

My opponent refers to a suit brought airainst I-ane county two years ao, asking that the court de fine the law requirint; the publication of the proceeding of the county court. I belijve that we would have won in the supreme court but, upon my advice, the case was not appealed for the reason that we were convinc ed tl.at if the law was literally con strued it would require the publication of natter for which there was abso lutely no need of publication. My opponent intimates that the few suggestions I have made are childish. In my platform I say, "I think that, in the course of years, millions of dol lars can be saved the counties of the state of Oregon by handling election supplies and returns by registered mail instead of by private carrier. "I think the delinquent taxpayer is HE more nconle demnnrl the more they value a car. The more people demand of a car, the more they value the Overland.

"I think counties should be divided into commissioner districts, with rep resentation for all sections. ! think there are many ways in which determined legislators can save the taxpayers money with which to buy Liberty Bonds. I leave it to the voters as to whe ther or not these suggestions are childish. Finally, I believe the voters want a man who isn't afraid to speak right out and say where he stands. I have ! made some enemies that way and am willing to make some more the same way serving Linn and Lane counties at Salem. ELBERT BEDE. of thpmtplvoe I..-'' s m
