Republican Head
Gives Statement of
Principles of GOP
James F. Short, state Re
publican committee chairman,
has released a statement of
principles of the Republican
party in Oregon.
According, to Short, the
statement was prepared as a
means of setting forth the be
liefs of the party in this state.
The statement was drafted by
a group of Republicans from
all sections of Oregon and
was submitted to each county
committee for comment and
revisions. Don Stathos, Jack
son County Republican Cen
tral committee chairman, at
tended the meetings.
The statement says the Re
publican party of Oregon be
lieves: ,
Eleven Points
1. That the foundation of
good government is the par
ticipation therein by eacty in
dividual citizen as well as the
honesty, integrity and as
sumption of political respon
sibility by governmental lead'
ers, public servants and po
litical parties under our two
party system.
2. That the rights, value,
importance and political be
liefs of an individual citizen
are not determined by race,
color, creed, religion, position
in life, age, wealth or the
lack of it, and further that
the welfare of the individual
is dependent on the welfare
of all, and the welfare of all
is dependent on the welfare
of the individual.
3. That the local govern
ment municipal, county and
state should be strengthen
ed and that the government
should not do for people what
the people can better do for
themselves.
4. That responsible labor
unions are a permanent, val
ued and desirable p.art of our
society.
5. That electrical power
must be developed to the full
est practical extent to meet
the expanding needs of Ore
gon, and further believes that
such development should be
caried out by those best qual
ified, having constant and due
regard to the fullest bene
ficial utilization of other na
tural resources.
6. That the citizens and
government of Oregon should
do all things necessary to
provide wider educational op
portunities to our citizens and
to maintain consistently high
academic standards in our
educational facilities.
'Climate' Cited
7. That j o b opportunities
and progress in Oregon will
best be achieved by a politi
cal and economic climate
which . encourages expansion
of payrolls, agriculture, busi
ness and industry. .
8. That the function of a
political party is to seek the
election of qualified, persons
to public office and' to sup
port policies which will serve
the welfare of all citizens of
Oregon.
9. It will support the free
enterprise system and further
believes that government ex
penditures should be main
tained at a level consistent
with security, necessary ser
vices and efficient govern
ment. 10. That the fullest bene
ficial use should be made of
our natural resources con
sistent with good conserva
tion practices.
11. That attempts to classi
fy Oregonians as "little peo
ple," "little business," "big
business," "labor," "manage
ment," '"private power,"
"public power," "conserva
tionists, "haves," "have nots,"
etc. and attempts to create
conflicts between groups of
citizens, are contrary to tra
ditional American principles.
Held For Navy
Following Trial

naval authorities is Fred Lee
Walters Jr., 20, of 89 Vashti
Way, who received a six
months suspended sentence in

statement in writing to pro
cure benefit.
Walters received a suspend
ed sentence in Josephine coun
ty on a similar charge earlier
last week.
Judge James Main suspend
ed the second sentence on
condition that Walters be re
turned to naval authorities.
He turned himself in to sher
if's deputies May 8 saying he
was absent without leave from

Full restitution of the
checks has been made, ac
cording to the court.

iiried Treasure
Growing Number of Poe
Admirers Raises Value
As a general rule, a volume
from a set is not worth much.
Its value is merely a small
fraction of what it would be
if it were accompanied by the
others of the set.
For that reason I saw no
point in paying $20 for Vol.
II of Poe's "Tales of the Gro
tesque and Arabesque," even
though it was in good condi
tion. The likelihood of ever
finding Vol. I was incredibly
remote.
But a friend of mine looked
at it differently.-
As soon as he had estab
lished it was the first issue of
the first edition, published at
Philadelphia, 1840 he could
tell it was because page 213
was misnumbered as page 231
he bought it wihout hesi
tancy. Some five months later he
showed me both Vol. II and
Vol. I. The latter was just as
clean looking as the other.
Both books had the original
paper labels, and while their
cloth board bindings were
scuffed and worn with time,
they were definitely in what
would be termed sound con
dition. "It really wasn't difficult to
do," he explained. "Sets of the
Tales sell failry often for
from $35 to $75. Usually the
price is brought down by the
poor condition of one of the
volumes. So I just started
looking for a set in which the
poor volume was Vol. II.
I found one that I got for
$40."
Since he had no difficulty
in selling his unwanted Vol.
II for $5, his cannibalized set
had cost him only $55.
As for the value of such a
set, a price of over $100 could
be easily realized. The num
ber of Poe's admirers is grow
ing. And since there were
only 750 of those sets printed
in 1840, or which only a small
but unknown number remain,
their value can't go anywhere
but up.
$3 GOLD COIN MORE VALUABLE AS ORNAMENT
Tom and a customer were
discussing the sale of five $3
gold pieces when I arrived.
"Two of these are dupli
cates,' the customer said.
"And if I take them all for
cash I should get something
off on the price."
"Okay," Tom said. "I'll
knock off ten per cent and
you can have the lot for $135
if you'll just tell me what
you do with them."
"Very well," the customer
said. "I make them Into
these."
He pulled a bracelet out of
his pocket and laid it on the
counter. It consisted of a
rough gold band from which
clanked three of the $3 pieces
he had bought earlier.
I hefted the bracelet. It
wasn't any heavier than some
others I've seen, but it cer
tainly did look a whale of a
lot richer.
It's a deal." Tom gave him
the coins and took the bills.
PAID REPLY CARD LEGACY WORTH OVER $1,000
Some of the most valuable
items for stamp collectors are
to be found in paid reply pos
tal cards, the kind that are
generally used in mail-order
selling.
I became aware of this re
cently when a friend, whose
father had been in the mail
order business, came across a
file of his father's sales litera
ture. - -
In addition to copies of all
sales letters his firm had used
from 1890 to 1912, it also con
tained a variety of paid reply
postal cards complete with
printed sales messages.
The old man did quite well,
apparently, but his efforts had
one beneficial effect for his
heirs that he had not antici
pated. The value of his unintended
collection of paid reply postal
cards was well in excess of
$1,000.
One of the more important
items was a card he had used
in 1893. The cards, a grayish
white in color, were printed
with a stamp in blue. The
stamps consisted of a liberty
head in profile surrounded by
an oval band in . the lower
part of which appeared the
price two cents.
The stamps, were identical
except for the wording in the
upper half of the band. On
the one, the wording was
"Message Card," on the other,
"Reply Card."
The message card carried
a printed message on one side,
The reply card gas printed on
both sides.
Value of the two together,
unused, was $150.
