BEDE MAKES REPLY

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-

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

The more people demand of a car, the
more they value the Overland.
This car is as beautiful, comfortable and
desirable as it is efficient and thrifty.

I think determined legislators can
maice economies in state government
tlfljL will amount to millions in the
course of years.
"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.
