W. Zumwalt's Platform To the Voters of Lnne County: In order that my position may bo clearly understood on what appear to bo the leading Issues ot this campaign. I wish to make the following statement as a candidate for the office of County Commissioner: ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY I believe that our taxes are much too high and that the time has come when positive action must bo taken to reduce Ukmii. " 1 am convlnced'that too much money la being wasted by extrava gant and inefficient management of the County's business. I believe that by eliminating certain unnecessary and overpaid em-! ployes of the county and by making a pretty general reorganlza-j tlon of the administrative force, better results can be obtained! and a great deal of money saved. If elected, I hope to be; instrumental in bringing about some changes of this kind. i Furthermore. I believe that. In general, all property, except that actually exempted by law. should be put on the assessment1 rolls and required to bear its Just proportion of the burdens ot taxation. And Sn this I would include all property belonging to' churches and used for business or commercial purposes. ROADS AND ROAD FUNDS I believe most heartily In good roads and that our prosperity in years to come depends to a great extent on the condition of our roads. This is especially true of those roads which are known as market roads and those which open up the more re mote parts of the county. I am convinced that certain parts of the county, particularly the western portion, have not received sufficient consideration In this respect. If elected. I shall stand for what seems to me a more even and just distribution of the road funds, whether those funds come from the sale of bonds, from direct taxation or from other sources. LAW ENFORCEMENT It Is, I think, a well known fart that certain big interests are spending millions of dollars and making every effort to throw our temperance laws Into disrepute and render them Ineffective and Inoperative. Lane County Is now reaping Its share of the harvest of lawlessness and crime, as well as material expense and loss, that naturally accompanies this movement. A weak! or 'indifferent attitude on tht part of the County Court would soon result in an Intolerable condition of things. As commis sioner, I would consider it my sacred duty to stand squarely for the prosecution of all offenders and th? strict enforcement of the. 1'IWS. i CONCLUSION In conclusion I will say. for th sake of those who may wish ; to know, tnj't I Intend to vote for the Compulsory Si-hmd ; r Measure on the November ballot; flith-M more, tint I am not pledged nor tied up by private promfs to any Individual. no'icty or organization or any kind, arfcrtins' i'v action In the oft Ice o commissioner in case of my eWiini. My hands are not t'ed In any way. I em free to serve the people of Lane County to the best of my ability. E. W. Zl'MWALT. (Paid Adv.) Motor Route A. the flour that never 'PROVEN MEIUT -N,-V ? -,V.

Register. of the State of Fisk has issued .1 t t Taxes the Govemo When a candidate for the high office of goverr.or bases his candidacy on certain claims and promises as to wh3t he will do if elected, the public is entitled ti have his iaims analyzed and examined. In th's carrpaign. Welter Pierce has gone abcut the country rnclo-dramaricdlly tearing tax tills in two by way of illustrating what he will do to taxes if elected. The voter, then, shculd analyze the tax mat ter to the extent of becoming informed as to just whit part the governor plays in iniposing: or reducing taxes. In the first place, the voter should know that the total levy in Oregon for 1622 is $10,473,906. This is a reduction cf over $1,500,000 from last year, so that it will be seen the high cost of government following the war is already reced ing. Of this 1922 levy of 40 million, over 31 mil lien was for county, city and school district purposes, over which the governor could have no possible control whatever. Of the remaining 9 million for ttate purpose, only Z'A million are taxes over which the legis lature has aiiy discretion, and cf this amount only million are for the actual expenses of tate government and might, therefore, in even the remotest degree, be charged to the methods employed by the governor in administering the state's affairs. In passing, it should be noted that this tut levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1916, ana not several hundred per cent, as stated on various occasions by the democratic candidate. It should also be noted that less than half of this 41 per cent occurred during Mr. OlcorVa administration. This ability to keep down the cost of the state government to so small an increase, when living expenses in the ordinary home in the same period increased over 100 per cent, is a most creditable showing. MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD It is proper at this pouit to examine Mr. Pierce's own record on taxes and see if past actions aa legislator square with his words. Of the $9,176,29 of state taxes for IMS, which include the Ensilage taxes, MR. PIERCE SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OP ti.S64,039, or 9 per cent He had no chance at most of the other I per cent. Of the 19ts state taxes. Pierce introduced bills accounting for $1,439,129, or II per cent. In addition to due, be voted for tax bin introduced by other to the amount of $9,1 ls 109, avA Ye has g:ven his puUic epprovM tn numberless occasions of measures p-: sed s'.nce he was resumed from the legislature cauMn; taxes amounting to $1,020,804, maiciaij a total of s'ate taxei approved by Pierce ot SlS'iJ.ClS. or 92 per cent of the total 1S22. 7 here is no telling how much of the remainder he might have approved if he had had a chance, and it may be significant that the state taxes have decreased over 11 per cent since Mr. Pierce was retired from the State Senate. Mr. Pierce has alway3 been a consistent tax boos'er. He voted against only three per cent cf all the appropriations of the 1319 session of the legislature and voted for all the appropria tions of the 1920 special session. In 1917 Mr. Pierce introduced a bill to exempt money, notes, nortgages and accounts from taxation. Yet he poses as being anxious to take the burden off real estate! He voted for submission of $400,000 bond Issue to build a new penitentiary, Mr. Olcott, at no TAX expense and with prison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary in excellent shape for another 99 years. Mr. Pierce voted against accepting road ma chinery from the government. That machinery now amounts in value to $1,800,000. GOVERNOR OLCOTTS RECORD The above are but a few of the extravagances .of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has conducted the business of the state in an eco nomical, sane and business-like manner. He has saved the state thousands of dollars because of his level-headedneM and his intimate knowl edge of state affairs. He built a new Boys' Industrial School Building by diversion of a millage fund, and therefore, without a single cent additional tax. Ht has insisted upon devel opment of the various state farms connected with the state institutions untO the present year shows the unprecedented income from this source of $491,911. He is no talker, no politi cian, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-election under false pretenses nor catering to preju dice, but is going to the people on his own splendid record, confident that if he can but get that record and Mr. Pierce's record before the voters of Oregon that he will be vindicated on lection day, Tuesday, Nov. 7th, Vote for Olcott for GOVERNOR REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WALTER L.
