THURSDAY, OCTOMKR 28, 1920; THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS PAGE THREE "Capital and Industry-Keep Out!" WOULD YOU, AH A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN OF OREGON, PLACE SUCH A SIGN ON THE RORDERfl OF THE STATE? That Ik exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 314 and 315 on the November ballot entitled, "Constitutional Amend ment Fixing I'gal Kate of Interest In Oregon." Thh measure projxws to limit the rale of Interest In Oregon to 5 per cent. You ran. by law, fix the rate of Interest In Oregon, but you cannot, by law, force the loaning of money in tills state, when a much higher rate ran be secured elsewhere. The pass age or tills measure would force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capital which Is today loaned on factories, business and real estate In the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to belt r Investments. Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousand of mortgages; would result In financial paralysis, and would mean widespread unemployment. You, no doubt, understand the vlciousness of this measure, but have you talked to your neighbors ami friends about it? W urge you to do everything you can to de feat this measure Oregon's reputation as a sound state for Investments requires that this measure be overwhelmingly defeated.

Senator Harding discussed the need of adequate protection for women tn Industry and expressed his belief In the wisdom of an eight-hour day for women workers. He emphasized the need of safeguarding the women on American farms. He proposed putting the Children's liurcau under the sug gested Department of Public Welfare, and urged prevention of abuses of child labor. "I must not fall," Senator Harding went on, "to speak to you today of one of the measures of social Justice and social welfare not often catalogued In this milliner, but perhaps more impor tant than any we have considered. 1 refer to the enforcement of law.

"The social Justice that I conceive Is not paternalism. It would be easy to make tt so, and dangerous Indeed to the best spirit that Americans can have the spirit of expressing by the Individual free will one's own merits, capacity and worth.

' I believe that one seeking a position of responsibility should ' fii'J-'t know the duties and work of the office he seeks. I have i had several years experience-in this line of work and j'ou .are iict considering an applicant who is a stranger to same. As tho sheriff's- office is one of the chief executive offices of the county, i believe the sheriff should LEAD and not fellow in the per.formanc s cf z the duties, whersocver possible, in 'connection therew.th. , If elected sheriff I will do this and will not ask a deputy or private citizen to go where I would not go myself. TAXES ARE HIGH Economy should be the watchword of every man when elected to office, as high taxation is the greatest burden of the citizens of Lane countv today. I wish to refer you to the COUNTY RECORDS showing the running expenses of Ihe sheriff's office under the present administration as compared to that of former years. Under former sheriffs, in 1916, it cost $12,596.12 to run the cfl'ice; in 1917 it cost $10,790.56; in 1918 it cost $12,411-28, and in 1919 under the present sheriff it cost $16,451.38 to run this ofltce, an increase of over 30 per cent, or $4040.10 with no extra increases in salaries or deputy hire. For the FIRST SIX MONTHS of 1920 (this year) it cost the present sheriff $10,913. 63 to run this ofice. Within $14,97.65 as much as for the full year of 191 S. IS THIS ECONOMY OR IS IS EXTRA VA (ANCE9 Does this partially answer the question why TAXES ARE HIGH in Lane county? If the sheriffs office of Lane county cost $12,411 in 1918 should it cost $16,451 in 1919, and be $18,000 or $20,000 in 1920, in face of the fact that the other county offices has increased only a few hundred dollars during these years. The salary and all expenses of the sheriff are paid by the county. The sheriff's office should not be used as a collection agency for the Eugene Justice Court district. The regular elected constable should do the work of the , Eugene Justice district and not the sheriff's office do this work at a loss and at the expense of the taxpayers in general. If elected Sheriff I will turn all fees collected by me over to the county treasurer PROMPTLY, where they rightly and legally belong, not waiting for a request from the county court to do so, as these fees belong to the county, earned on county time, and at county expense, and with county automobile and gas. If elected Sheriff on, November 2nd I promise the taxpayers of Lane county to conduct the affairs of the office in an Impartial and business-like manner, giving a square deal to all, and that I will use ECON.OMY in conducting the affairs of the office, thus holding the running expenses down to the minmum. , Respectfully submitted, JOHN E.
