I
OF
Jno. W. Johnson of Mcdford
in Public Statement Pleads
for Support of Hoover in
Time of Economic Crisis
To the Editor:
The prosperity, happiiics and well
Doing of the American people 1 of
more Importance at thlif time than
party loyalty or partisan prejudice.
The vital necessity of the moment 1
to keep In motion the plans and forces
of economic reconstruction which
fcuve so carefully and painstakingly
been put Into action the past few
Biontlia.
The foundation upon which the
gt rue tu re of a stable financial recovery
baa been completed and the crisis
that threatened the very existence of
our economic life la now astern. The
tnefs and shoals of destruction
through which our ship of state h&e
lately passed are giving way to more
open seas. Brightening akles bold
promise of better days ahead and
ober thought Is taking hold In the
American voter's mind aa to the Im
portance of our coming election.
The cry to change our course and
to throw the pilot to the sharks; the
bewilderment and confusion engen
dered by fear and discouragement are
giving ground to more sober and
sensible meditation. People are doubt-
big the wisdom or voting merely for
t change, a change that may again
threaten our national welfare: a
change that may destroy the plans
and economic forces that have been
put In motion to restore our national
prosperity and material wolfare. Many
dangers still lay tn the path of our
forward progress which will require
the cool hend and steady hand of ex
perienced leademh lp to guide us
surely through.
It would seem little less than a
national calamity to. exchange the
feu 1 ding hand of experience for the
faltering uncertainty of a promised
Hew deal that carries no definite plan
OT hope of accomplishment.
We cannot afford to give over to
tnere change and chance, the leader
ship and wisdom that has guided the
welfare of our great country through
fhe crisis now behind us.
History recording the achievements
Of our great leaders of the past, paints
lis a vivid picture of the tragic strug
gle to- total n the guidance of the
leadership so necessary to bring peace
and prosperity out of misery and dis
couragement then engulfing the na
tion. To each of Us la accorded the privi
lege of a voice In our national pro
gress. Our ballot Is valuable as an
expression of our confidence or dis
approval. Wo cannot wisely vote for
mere change. Wo cannot afford to
xely upon promises that are not ac
companied by a definite plan of ac
complishment or a reasonable hope of
fulfillment.
It would be a very poor brand of
Appreciation for the American people
to discredit President Hoover In the
yes of the world and reward his
earnest struggle In our nation's be
half by electing In his place a man
of questionable ability who has re- ;
aorted to the woes of a world-wide
depression, unfair criticism and vain
promt sos on a vehicle to ride to the
highest office our people can bestow.
We can til afford to risk the de
struction of the structure that la well
on tho way to bridge the chasm Into
Which we so nearly toppled. It is
only right and fair; It la only good
American sportsmanship to allow our
Very able president to finish the
tructure of economic recovery he has
ao earnestly endeavored to build In
the past few years.
To President Hoover we should sub
mit our confidence and our vote. In
ao doing I believe, as millions of
others, that the dcstlnlet of our great
country are In able hands and the
welfare and happiness of our people
are of his mind and heart.
JNO, W. JOHNSON.

Interesting discussion.

tude In tax reduction and his plan
of rigid economy In every department
of higher education.
The Grange also expressed approval
of a plan to reduce the number of

tives, believing that fewer numbers
would be more efficient and economi
cal, they favor a constitutional amend
ment to give one representative for
each 1,000,000 of population or ma
jor fraction thereof, but no state to
have less than two representatives.
They favor reducing materially the
salaries of all state officers commen
surate with the depressed times. A
measure favoring the appointment of
a committee to co-operate with like

HELP WANTED
Oregon citizens are on the brink of ruin, facing the bitter
prospect of losing properties by tax confiscation.
With a high-powered taxing machine, designed for more
than the traffic will stand, the tax boosters have speeded along,
without effective control. They are now on the edge of the
ditch. . . t, .
Talk of tux strikes is heard, but far more serious is the utter
inability of property owners to pay their taxes.
Many governmental units, by reason of tax delinquencies,
are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, the opportunity is at hand for clear thinking
citizens to take control and direct a safer course.
Two constructive measures now on the ballot will insure
efficient driving of the tax machine and a slower gait.
These measures embody the improved Oregon Plan of tax
and debt supervision and control the best plan ever presented
in any state.
They will secure very substantial reductions in the prop
erty tax load and thereby promote better government.
They will definitely separate tax levying from tax spending
powers. '
They will provide effective limitations and control of .taxes
and indebtedness, but positively will not disturb the existing
6 limitation nor lift the lid of any debt restriction now fixed
by constitutional provision.
Tliey will preserve the true substance of home rule in
taxation, distinguished from the empty form of that great prin
ciple as it has been perverted by tax boosters to their own
selfish purposes.
Voters, the appeal is to you to help yourselves and your
fellow citizens, to save Oregon property owners from impend
ing ruin and your governments from fiscal chaos by voting:
Tax and Debt Control Constitutional Amendment
