I I! SENATE RECORD . PORTLAND, Nov. 1. Senator Jonathan JJourac, jr., has made pub WH GOMPERS IIS OF BOURNE'S lic thotib!Iowinj Vire from Snmuel ant" Coroners : Washington, D.C. Oct. 18,1912. Hon.. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., T ... -VPel Slate? Senator, .'jt .Portland, Oregon. . My Dear Senator Beurne: Infor mation has reached me that you have decided to again allow your name to go before the people of Oregon in the senatorial ijojitest, and that you have consented to do this in responbe to tho call of the progressive citizen ship of your state. I avail myself of this opportunity to congratulate you for deciding to make this contest and I trust that you may receive n generous support for re-election to the United tSates senate. I feel'thnt I would be remiss in my duty if 1 did not say to you at this time that during ypur seric& in tho United States senile in which the interests of labor were involved and which, of course, follows as a matter of course the inclusion of the best interests of all tho people. The attitude that you have taken in be half of popular versus delegated gov ernment by tho a'doption of the initia tive, referendum and recall; by the substitution of direct primaries for caucuses; for tho publicity of .til campaign expenditures; for the di rect election of United Stntes sena tors; for free speech; unhampered petition and rights of association for government employes; for the insti tution of the parcels post and for your cncouragemejit on all measures in which tho rights of labor nre in volved, merits the confidence and en thusiastic support of all good citi zens in your slnto, especially those known as wago eurners. In order that my many friends and associates in the stuto of Oregon may know first hand, I cheerfully say to you thut you responded to our ovory request without excuse, without evasion and without hesi tancy, knowing that wo would ask of you nothing uiiicnsonnhtle, and to your great credit I muke it a mutter of record that you weie tho first chairman of the United States sen ntecoimnittco on postofiiccs and post roads that over gave a hearing to' tho ropresntntives of labor in be half of tho eight-hour day and tho full oxerciso of all normal rights of citizenship for clerks, lottor-cnrriers nnd othor employes in tho postoffiee department. .Again with host wishes and hop ing that you may bo retained in tho United States senate in behalf of not only tho good people of Oregon, but in bohulf of tho best iuteiosts of all the people in the. United States, I am Vory fruly your, SAMUB& aOMPERS. President Amorionu Federation of Labor, "Went Point hast a coming1 lisUbrtclc v? I In Ilogjs and , brilliant end rush in PROMISE AND THE leopard cannot change his spots nor tho Ethiopian liis skin. There is no way to judge tho future except, by the past By their works you know men, not by their voils. What one has done in the past is the index of accomplish ment in the future. In considering the statement to voters issued by George AV. J)unn, candidate for county judge, in which he strives to masquerade as a progressive, his promises must be contrasted with the performance of his previous term. Judge Dunn says: "If elected to this office I shall try to restore the countyVcretHtr1 I shall not be a party to the lssulug of county warrants contrary to law, but shall always endeavor to keep within tho law." Jackson county warrants were first brought to par by Judge Oowell, who advanced them to three per cent above par. .Judge prim succeeded iredit good. Judge Hiiiin succeeded Prim and did nothing L-nt iollow m Crowell s and Prim's footsteps, lie did not injure public credit, nor did he help it any. lie did not increase county indebtedness, nor did he decrease it. lie simply left things as ho found them. Judge Dunn further says: "Good roads are essential to the development of tho county, and 1 be lieve In building such roads as fast as funds a'ro available and as rapidly as the work can be done In a permanent and' scientific manner." The first attempts to build roads in Jackson county were made by Judge Oowell, who interested Joshua Pat terson in the work. This work was continued in a small way under Prim and then Under Dunn, Mr. Patterson tak ing the initiative and looking after the work. Remarkably few roads were constructed under Mr. Dunn and no work at all done in many sections of the county. None of the roads can be called ''permanent and scientific." Mr. Dunn further sas: "I believe In a careful and rlKld Inspection and sunervNion of horticul tural, agricultural and stock Interests, aueciing said interests may be eradicated or held In check." "While Mr. Dunn was county judge, there was no in spection or supervision worth' of the name over the horti cultural or agricultural interests. Mr. Dunn has never been among advocates of inspection and everyone opposed j to it is working m JJunn s behalf under the supposition that it will be abolished or so curtailed that it will amount to as little as it did under his regime. Mr. Dunn says: "I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor to fulfill the legitimate wishes of tho taxpayers, but I will not be controlled by the demands of tho "tax-eaters." Eeononry is promised by all. The only "tax-eaters" outside county offices are the farmers and laborers who work on county roads. Judge Dunn's well known policy of sitting-tight and doing nothing will deprive these men of work. Judge Dunn says: , "Should the taxpayers of this county desire that bonds he Issued for the building of permanent roads, I shall call an election for that purpose as soon as the necessary legislation enabling the county court to call such elec tion snail nave ueen enacted, and If It Is decided at such election to Issue bonds I will do all that I can to see that every dollar derived from the sale of sqcb bonds is carefully and Judiciously expended." Judge Dunn if elected and all other county judges would have to call a bond election if petitioned under any of the proposed legislation. So there is no special merit in promising to do what he would have to. But Judge Dunn is careful not to go on record as favoring a road bond issue for constructing a general system of highways, lie did not favor the bond issue voted by Jackson county and the Ashland clique supporting his candidacy voted solidly against it. Judge Dunn makes no promise of giving all parts of the county a square deal, ite did not do it when county judge before. His attitude toward Med ford is best shown by the action of his chief booster and champion, Benton Bowers, in enjoining the Medford bridge done not onlv to slap Mcdroru out to win votes lor Dunn m the county by creating prejudice and antagonism to Medford through rank misrepresentation. "Why did Judge Dunn not call off his friend if he was a friend to Medford? Judge Dunn is not a progressive in politics or anything else. lie is a stand-patter, a reactionary, a "setter" and not a "doer" or things. He lias played no part in the re cent growth and development of Jackson county but like King James, has watched the battle from afar. As county judge the only thing Judge Dunn originated was the arbitrary raise in assessed valuations sixty-six and two-thirds per cent. The man who had turned in $1000 cash had to pay on $1G66. This and his failure as a road builder, caused his defeat four years ago. Jackson county must either go forward or backward progress or deteriorate. The election of Judge Dunn means, its retrogression, stagnation and depreciation. "Which do you want progress or reaction? VOTE FOE YOUR OWN INTEREST. np IIE business man who has to retain him. bo the people ought to be. Then there would be less talk of graft and corruption. A most important office in the county is that of sheriff. Under our laws, the sheriff is not only the peace officer, but the tax collector as welland the latter office is much the most important. All the revenues of Jackson county pass through the sheriff's hands. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are handled by him. lie must not only be honest, but capable and efficient. A man to fill such an office should be a man who has made a success of his own business. When such a man has been tried and made gootj, he deserves another term. Wilbur Jones has proven an efficient official. Quiet and unassuming, he has devoted his entire time and energy to the double duties of his office. His record is without a btain. The expert who examined his books, paid him a high compliment. His efficiency as a police officer are without question. There is no just basis for any criticism made against Mr. Jones The fact that ho has served two terms and is theroforo familiar with his jnore yajiuiuic lor a thncil town. Tlie sheriff handles vour PERFORMANCE. ItowcII and kent the count vs to the end that all pests and diseases an efficient clerk is careful duties, should make him the accounts and vVjhp mnnnv.
