RECTOR DECIDES
AGAINST RUNNING
FOR LEGISLATURE
To th Editor:
Some time ago I caused an an
nouncement Ho be printed In The
Mall Tribune to the effect that I
would b a candidate In the May
primaries for th Democratic nomi
nation for repreeentatlv from Jack
son county In the legislature. Since
that time circumstances (nothing
political, however) beyond my con
trol have made It Impossible for me
to make th campaign. In view of
the fact that someone els may de
sire to file, I wish to state that I
am withdrawing from the field, as
Z have not yet filed, and can do so
without causing any mlrup In the
end.
At the time 1 first decided to
make the race, I had some legisla
tion in my mind that J believed, and
still believe, would b for the good
of the taxpayers snd everybody con
cerned as a whole. One was that
th criminal lawa of Oregon: should
be so amended that when a felony
was committed, and the criminal re
ceived a .sentence, that sentence
should be mandatory, and mean
Just the amount of time so named.
I believe that the state board of
pardons and parole should be abol
ished and the governor, and , the
governor only,, have the power to
pardon when, and If, definite proof
was produced that - the oonvlcted
party waa innocent.
California not only has a "bum
blockade," but that state also block
ades fruits and vegetable from
crossing the stste line from Oregon,
California bound. I am of the opin
ion that Oregon should be given
the preference (backed by statute)
over the Jap, Hindu, Mexican, Fili
pino and Armenian truck grower
of th stat to th south of us.
I am planting these two thoughts
with the hope that someone will
think of It. when th legislature
meet In Salem next January.
