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.

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.

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.
