Out For Governor
' '
Earl W. Snell
Earl W. Snell, secretary of state
for two years and native of Gilliam
county, put the minds of political
prognosticators at ease this week
when he announced:
I am a candidate for governor.
This announcement is, at the same
time, my pledge of continued faith
ful service to the people of Oregon.
Into every field of my public ser
vice, I have carried the deep con
viction that public affairs can be
administered with the same direct
ness, the same efficiency and the
same courtesy and friendliness as
the business of individual citizens.
I beleve that the most efficient and
effective governor can, at the same
time, be the most friendly governor.
This is a time for considered
judgment rather than political ex
citement. .My campaign will, there
fore, be simple, inexpensive and in
formal. Our first job is to win the war.
This we can and will do. Second,
we must cushion the economic and
social readjustments resulting from
our all-out war effort. Clear think
ing and sound planning can accom
plish this. Third, we must cut the
cost of state and local government
to offset as far as possible necessary
defense taxes. This requires a fixed
determination and a well consider
ed program. And finally, we must
plan now for post-war reconstruc
tion and rehabilitation. We shall be
unfaithful to the defenders of our
nation if this is delayed.
The time is here when we must
"ration the tax dollar." To ease the
burden of steadily mounting federal
taxes, state and local taxes must be
cut to the lowest possible point. No
longer can we delay the elimination
and consolidation of boards and
commissions. One of my first rec
ommendations would be to abolish
the State Tax Commission, setting
up in its stead a single tax commis
sioner directly responsible to the
governor. Also, we need a thorough
revision of assessment and tax meth
ods to effect a more realistic and
equitable distribution of the tax load
and in which the home owner will
have first consideration.
During the campaign I will outline
in detail and discuss with complete
frankness my program for the solu-'
tion of these problems vital and
important to the welfare of our state
and all its people.

Master.
And whereas, the merciful Master
has called our beloved Brother
