He knew little about prize fighting, obviously. Hut he knew one thing. That wan that he had had remarkable success in a brief amateur career with one plan of bat tle. That plan was to step out f f his corner fighting and keep on fighting until the bell chased him back to it. flnldstein stepped from his corner confident and eager to show his stuff. He expected Martin, tho challenger, to romo out cautiously, even timidly. Mr. Martin left his corner from the lop rungs of IiIh little stool. , Recommended adoption of the child labor amendment to the federal con stitution. Favored salary increases for dis trict attorneys and Justices of tho state supreme court. Governor Pierce spoko in part as follows: Members of the Legislature: The half-way point In tho teimi for which I was elected governor of Ore gon having been reached, It is fitting and proper that at this time an ac counting upon the functions and affairs of state within that period bo made lo this, the thirty-third legisla tive assembly, and to the people of Oregon. Taxes Taxation has received my most car nest attention during tho past two years. In the belief that reduction in the cost of government was upper most in the public desire. UnqueS' tlunnbly, thu paramount Issue in the election campaign of 1922 was the re duction and redistribution of taxes. I kept thlH issuo squarely before the people In every address that I made during that campaign. During my In cumbency of tho office of governor I have donp all within my power to carry out' the pledges made at that time, and feel that I ran now point to a substantial measure of achievement, in that I Have kept every pledge that I made, in liU2 the j. tote tax levy, Including fixed millages, was Sill. 370. iH. 1 1. ThlH year the state tax levy is $7,02.70m7, or a real reduction in state taxes of substantially $2,000, 000, notwith standing, the fact that when I became governor there existed In the state treasury a deficit of approximately $100. U00, glowing out of the Tact that the le gislature hail in the past appro priated larger sums than the tax com mission w,as allowed to levy under thi 0 per cent tax limitation law.' There Is, at the present time, a surplus of more than $200,000 In the state treas ury. Had the voters of Oregon seen fit to allow the State lucomo Tax Law to remain upon the statute books, no state lax would have been levied this year, except the millages fixed by law, which are outside the 0 per cent tax limitation, and which will aggregate In 1J12G approximately 5.5 mills, or $5.t.tl0.712. While we have had a measure of both reduction n.nd redis tribution of state tuxes, It is true that we who earnestly desire further to redistribute the burden of state taxn have suffered a serious setback thru the repeal of the state Income Tax Law, which was accomplished by the prodigal use of a lavish campaign fund spent very largely In the repeat ed publication of false and misleading propaganda. Repeatedly It has been stated that In my campaign of 1922 I promised to cut taxes In half. Tills falsehood, ma licious and utterly without the' sha dow tif foundation in truth, hns been broadcasted about the state for the past two years. 1 made no such state ment to anyone at any time. What 1 did say repeatedly and now say again. Is that one-half of the state taxes, now borne by properly, could and should bo placed upon shoulders far better able to bear It. State Market Agent The office of state market agent was created last session at my request.' This office has been filled in a most efficient manner. This department has done much to encourage coopera tive marketing In the state and to bring about standard packing and grading of all farm products. drain Inspection has been ably di rected. Complete cooperation hns been established between the natlorAil grain Inspection fotce and the state department, und without noteworthy Both feet nnd both hands were going when Mr. - Martin arrived at tho center of the ring where GoM Htqm danced. From that moment ou tho music Mr. Martin played with his leather mittens was too fast for Gold stein's feet. The champion quit his dancing and started In to save his kingly crown.. .Several minutes later a referee and a hometown itowd agreed that OoldHteln belonged with the ex-charapions. "If you find a good system, hold to It," muttered Martin as he left the ring. exception tho grades mode, by the state employes, are , the accepted grades upon cereals shipped from Oregon nnd sold In foreign markets. This Is of groat value both to the producer and to tho exporter. It la accepted' as fact by all that fariri products ljniiiit bo doopbratlvely marketed. It requires effort and pa tlenco to teach the producer tho ne cessity for coopratlon. The depart ment has proved Its value, and during tho coming two years we hope to have tho producers so organized that many of the products-of the farm can be marketed to yield a- profit to the pro ducer. 1 am glad to report that this de partment Is not only self-sustaining but has created a surplus out of which the original $20,000 appropriated for Its maintenance, before I became gov ernor, muy be returned to. tho state treasury. I remember distinctly when I Introduced the Grain Inspection bill In tho scnato six years ugo having said that tho grain Inspection depart ment would be self sustaining and not a burden upon the general taxpayer. I am happy to report that such Is the case. Oleomargarine. BUI I was deeply disappointed In tho defeat of the Oleomargarine bill. I refuse to believe that, If the facts wero known to them, the majority ot the peoplo of the state would deliber ately injure our groat dairy interests for tho benefit of the producers, of tho South Sea Islands. , 'The great major ity against the bill woa gained largely by the circulation of false and mls- or a Have wishbone backbone Some folks just wish they had lite insurance they lack the backbone to carry.a policy. , , .

Mgrs. 204 Medford National Bank Bldg., Medford, Oregon leading propaganda picturing butter at one dollar a pound. In time the question again must be submitted to the people as to whether or not foreign vegetable oil substitutes shall be allowed to masquerade In the flavor and color of butter and thereby take the home market from one of tho greatest and most important' In dustries In our state. With feed higher than for years, and butterfat low, the dairymen face a hard situation. I sincerely hope the legislature will grant them relief, either by a tax on all vegetable oil substitutes for butter, or by prohibit ing 'the mixture of dairy products with vegetable oils as a substitute for butter. IOCAIj members heard .V (Continued from page one) ready to hear his message which it was believed, would not be reached before two o'clock p. m.

Joseph voted for Senator Sam H. Brown of Marion and Moser himself, out of courtesy, voted for Corbett. Corbett placed Moser in nomination.

He called attention to' Moser's long legis lative record. The nomination was seconded by Eddy and Klepper. .
