"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.
VOTE 315 X NO ,
AN I) URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO DO LIKEWISE.

"When making the propnanl for a

there are women who Insist that wom

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. It

BOSTON MASS,
To the Taxpayers of
Lane County, Oregon
I am a Candidate for the Office of Sheriff of this County.
' 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. EDWARDS
