OFFICIAL PAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY A Ibe campaign draws to a close, it waxes warm. It will won all be over but the shouting, as the voters will $o to the polls on next Tuesday and decide the is sues ard settle all questions for the time being. The fight on (rorfmor appears to stand out as the most im portant, and it is not safe to make a guess at this time as to who will be the winner, though it looks now like dkotl, as his stock has been on the ascendant during tK- closing weeks of the campaign. Mr. Tierce, how ever, has strong endorsement from various organisa tions carrying a large vote and bis appeal to the average citizen in behalf of relief from tax burdens has been one hard to overcome, regardless of the record he has made as the chief author of the burdens he would now pledge himself to lift. The campaign of education con cerning the Tierce policies is bearing fruit and while it is conceded that the race will be a tight one, Mr. Olcott, against whose record as a public official there is no breath of scandal, and who has to his credit a splendid record of business accomplishment as chief executive of the state, will success himself. Next to the gubernatorial race, comes the school bill, and in the minds of many this is the most import ant issue to be settled There has been more time and money spent for and against this measure, perhaps, han all others on the ballot combined, and there feems to be a ceneral expression that the bill will be voted down In many sections of the state the fight has been very bitter, and it would seem that animosities have been aroused that it will take some time to heal It is always o when matters of this nature come up, but as we view it, the question will have to be settled, and It may take more than one election to do it. In tnis county tne fight has progressed quietly and without bitterness and our people will doubtless accept the result on Tuesday with that calmness characteristic of a people always ready to abide by the decision of the majority. We hope to see a large vote the county over. The people should take a keen interest in candidate and measures, turn out to the polls and vote, thus demon strating their patriotism and exercising their full rights of citisenship. KEEP WHITE AND BLUE IS OUR FLAG. Our people with a generosity unmatched in history opened her doors to all peoples. It is known to our Department of State that some European countries have used us, as England once used Australia a dumping ground for misfits. Some of these undesirables responded to the better opportunity and righted themselves. Others have filled our jails and riven our courts much work. The spawn of generations of oppression, they have only suspicion of and destruction for any established order. Their passion is to destroy. They hoist the red flag of anarchy in place of the banner we venerate and that welcomed them. They early seek the irancnise. With guileless generosity we give it to them. Th ReH and the Radicals and the Bolshevik- minded had one of their typical conventions in Central Europe this summer. But they were not content to stop with Central Europe. Theirs is an organiied sys tem of propaganda and promulgation. An American tourist met one of the American stud ent delegates to this convention on an Austrial railway train. The boy boasted A the quota of REDS he was to bring into America in September to enter a great American college. He was one of the many chosen to bring the flaming embers of Europe's discontent to in oculate no less than two hundred American colleges. There are some things more precious than precious stones. As precious a thing as blesses the world today is our American ideal of democracy. Imperfect as is our demonstration of it, the ideal is flawless. It is not for us to leave that ideal unguarded by the roadside for any malcontent to malign or injure. When we f.nd anarchists and experimentalists using our institutions of culture to spread their ungrateful doctrine it is time for us to act. Regents and trustees, visitors and overseers, pro fessors and college presidents should be mindful of the work that is going on silently and surreptitiously in our college halls to underain the foundations that uphold our fiagstaffs. Candidates for Governor When a candidate for public office makes a campaign promising what he will do if elected, it is fitting and proper that the voter examine the public records to ascertain whether or not the candidate's record squares with his campaign promises. In the pres ent campaign Candidate Pierce professes to be the apostle of lower taxes. Mr. Pierce'$ Rtcord 1. Of the 19,378,000 of state taxes for 1928, Mr. Pierce specifically approved of $8,564,039. . This is 88 per cent of the total. Mr. Pierce had no opportunity to vote on the other S per cent, as he was not a member of thl legislature when it a up for vote. 1 He voted for 97 per cent of all tax appro priation bills of the 1919 session of the legisla ture, and for all the appropriation bills of the special session of 1920. 8. The State Highway Commission now works without pay. Mr. Pierce introduced a bill to pay the commiisoneri $12,000 a year. 4. He voted to submit a bond issue of $400, 000 for a new penitentiary. Governor Olcott has repaired the old one with convict labor at no tax expense. 5. Mr. Pierce claims he wishes to relieve real estate of the tax burden; yet he is the author of a bill submitted to the legislature which would exempt from all taxation moneys, notes, a edits and accounts. 8. In the lat.t few years ho voted for 185 sal ary increases, 7. He voted against the billi to consolidate the state bureaus and commissions. S. He introduced a bill providing for the most elaborate commission any state ever had. He specifically provided "to secure every citizen of Oiegon an opportunity at all times to work for the state," and provided a $5,000 salary for the head of the commission. This bill was purely bodaliitic. 9. In the 1917, 1919 and 1920 sessions of the legislature there were appropriation bills intro duced totaling $10,852,000. Of these Senator Pierce voted for $10,075,000. Measured by every standard, Mr. Pierce is the most consistent little tax booster the stats ' of Oregon ever had.

Consolidated February 15. 1912. JIST ANOTHER BUSINESS HANDICAP. The Dennison blue sky bill before Congress would dose the mails, telegraph and express facilities to any man offering any security in an industrial undertaking, not passed by the "blue-sky" law. In other words, man from California, Utah or Washington seeking capital in Iowa for developing a western enterprise could not use the mails to sell his stock in Iowa because his corporation had not been li censed to do business by an Iowa blue-sky commission. Out federal laws covering fraudulent use of the mans, our state laws covering the organization of cor porations and our state blue-sky laws offer every safe guard necessary to prevent the public being swindled. In tne tace of such protection it is uncalled-for med dling with business enterprise to further handicap the man seeking to develop nature s resources with laws which would require so much legal advice and expense that it would discourage the average man from under taking the task. The Manufacturer. H. J. Taylor, of Pendleton, a delightful old-timer, is making a strong run as democratic nominee for the state senate against Senator Colon R. Eberhard of LaGrande, republican nominee in the joint Morrow-Umatilla-Union counties district. The democrats could not have picked a mure popular man. layior nas an excellent recoru in every way. It ia doubtful, however, whether if elected he could exercise a tenth part of the influence that Sen ator Eberhard could. The latter in his first term dem onstrated abilities that won him recognition and lead ership. He procured the enactment of several measures of a constructive nature, and was one of the principal supporters of pretty much all the best legislation enact ed during his term. He demonstrated the faculty for grasping the real meaning and probable effect of legis lation introduced, and he certainly knew how to make his points clear in debate. He was one of the few mem bers who could influence votes by what he said on the floor, his influence being due to the clearness of his dis cussions and the sound and sensible views he propound ed. In committee his service was invaluable. He m vestigated to get at the facts and made it his business to know what he was talking about. No matter how amiable and personally admirable his opponent would prove to be, he could not begin to make himself as ef fective as Eberhard has proven to be. Oregon Voter. Oregon has a strong delegation in the lower house of Congress, as at present constituted, and from the Second District there will be no doubt of the return of N. J. Sinnott. He is now chairman of the very import ant cimmittee on Public Lands, and a tireless worker for the interests of his district. No time now to change to an inexperienced man. Morrow county will doubtless give Congressman Sinnott his usual good majority vote. WALTER'S NON-PARTISANSHIP. Thoueh we have seen little mentioned of it recently we think attention should be called to the fact that it was only a short time ago that Walter Pierce, present democratic candidate for governor, was mrting witn tne non-partisan league. It then seemed probable that the league was going to invade Oregon. Apparently Mr. Pierce saw in it a chance to gain support for his politi cal ambitions. However, it gained no foothold here and he was disappointed. The fact that the league made no headway in Ore gon does not mean that so far as it is concerned a voter may favor Mr. Pierce. It is true that the league is not here, but Mr. Pierce has once shown himself as friendly to its doctrines and may reasonably be expected, if elect ed, to try to advance some of its socialistic and bolshe vistic ideas. We d not want a non-partisan leaguer, not yet a sympathiser with the league, as governor of Oregon. Bend Bulletin. For the most part, hallowe'en pranks are harmless and there can be no objection offered. The actual des truction of property, however, is another thing and should be severely condemned and punishment meted out to those guilty of this offense. Mr. Olcott' t Record 1. He introduced a change in the state sec retary's report which has saved the state many thousands of dollars since 1912. S. His renovation of the penitentiary saved the state nearly half a million dollars. 3. He secured funds for a training school building for the Boys' Institute without a single dollar or additional taxes. 4. He is the originator of the Oregon Blue Sky Law, which saves the Oregon people mil lions of dollars annually. 5. He was responsible for the stopping of junketing trips by state officials at state expense. 8. He secured the passage of a budget law effecting large economies in the state govern ment, which could not otherwise be accom plished. 7. The change in the State Sessions Law, recommended by him, saves the state $10,000 a year. g. He has been universally commended for the excellence of his official appointments. 9. He is responsible for changes in the ad mi narration of the state farms, which this year brought returns of $491,000 into the state. 10. He has shown himself, by his acts, a friend of the ex-service men, has warmly sup ported the bonus measure, and has administered the law in the interest of the ex-service men with honesty and efficiency. , 11. He has taken the first real constructive step in the equalization of the state tax situation by the appointment of a committee of experts to investigate and report to the legislature the entire scope of the tax problem in this state, thus assuring that any changes to be made will be made along sane, conservative and construc tive lines, which give far more promise of secur ing results than demagogic bewailing and idle campaign promises such as are being made by the non-partisan candidate of the Democratic party, especially in the light of his record as the champion tax producer of the state of Ore-, gon.
