MAIL TRIBUNE, Medferd, Oregon, Tuesday, October 14, 1958 Candidate Parade (Editor's nole: This is on of a series of articles con cerning candidates for state, federal and county office, up for election at the November general election. They were prepared by the candidates themselves, or on their behalf, at the invitation of the Mail Tribune.) rj i jff 1 l ROBERT D. HOLMES Gov. Robert D. Holmes' record of bold and responsible leadership and mature judge ment has restored confidence in the government of Oregon and in the future potential of the state. Governor Holmes has proved time and again that he has been, and will con tinue to be, a courageous and imaginative governor of all the people, regardless of party, race, creed, color or economic or social status. He proved it when he medi ated the costly operating en gineers strike that slowed down heavy construction and highway building in Oregon. The strike was settled in the Governor's office, and he has received high praise from both labor and management for his ability to get action. He proved it when he called the Idaho Power company on the carpet for their futile at tempts to build a fish ladder on crumbling foundations with the resultant loss of a substantial part of this year's salmon run. This is only one of the - actions Governor Holmes has taken tov protect Oregon's natural resources for all the people. He ordered a much - needed Water Re sources Board study of best use of all waterways. He strongly supported congres- sionally sustained yield provi sions in the Klamath Indian Reservation timber laws. He was among the first to give powerful backing to proposed regional power development bills in Congress. Governor Holmes proved his concern for Oregon tax payers when he called a spec ial session of the Legislature (which only the governor can do) to reduce taxes. Taxes were reduced; 330,00ft, Ore-: gonians have received tax re funds. And Governor Holmes has ordered an independent non political analysis of Oregon's existing tax; structure a structure that was patched to gether by previous Republican administrations. Governor Holmes proved he is "Oregon's best salesman" when he was the first U. S. governor to go to Alaska to encourage trade between our state and that greatly-expanding new state. He has given effective leadership to his new planning and development de partment, actively promoting industrial and tourist growth. Oregon's economically im portant tourist industry re ported an increase in business this year, when other states are reporting losses. New in dustry is coming into Oregon; old industries are expanding reflecting faith in the Dem ocratic administration of Gov ernor Holmes. Oregon's first democratic governor in 20 years has prov en his decisiveness by taking clear and unequivocable , stands on controversial issues when other .candidates switch their positions according to the dictates of political ex pediency. Governor Holmes stands firmly against a gas tax increase, for compulsory auto mobile liability insurance, for more efficient and economically-sound governmental re organization. Governor Holmes' continu ing concern for better educa tion for our children is proven in his action for substantial increases in basic school sup port, for salary increases for state college and university faculties. Oregon's needs come first with Governor Holmes. That's why he has made several ef fective trips to Washington, , D. C. to urge re-evaluation of ICC freight rate policies, to give Congress the facts about the needs of Oregon business men and wage-earners for re vised unemployment -compensation, and to persuade top Pentagon officials to help Ore gon's electronics industry with defense contracts. These are only a few of the reasons why Governor Robert D. Holmes deserves your sup port so that he can finish the job he has started so well! Re-elect Gov. Holmes - Committee ' MARK O. HATFIELD Secretary, of State Mark Hatfield, Republican nominee for Governor, offers to the voters of Oregon a candidacy that was initiated by petitions by the people themselves who urged him to make him self available for higher pub lic service Mark Hatfield's leadership qualities have been demon strated under the combat con ditions of the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, as a mem ber of the Oregon House and Senate where he held imDort- ant chairmanships,as dean of students at Willamette uni versity, as a first citizen of his capital city community, and as secretary of state. With the theme of economy in government, Mark Hat field's record shows substan tial savings in the department of state budget through sound reorganization steps. Consci entious efforts of this kind in records management, ware housing, purchasing, better utilization of personnel, mech anization of archaic proced ures, and insistence upon strict administration could save thousands of dollars if applied across-the-board in state government. In addition, Oregon could look to a governor who would be devoted to the state insti tutions, aware of the humani tarian responsibilities, but dedicated to getting the maxi mum value for the dollar ex pended. As a member of the Board of Controls he has ini tiated action which has uni fied : administration proced ures, curtailed wasteful prac tices in commisary activities, opened the previously avoided topic of depopulated tubercu losis institutions. Simultane ously he has been a leader in the promotion of better re habilitation programs through which long-range savings of both humanity and dollars might be achieved when men tal illness is treated in earlier stages through out - patient clinic facilities. Mark Hatfield makes un mistakably clear his attitude on capital punishment. While personally favoring its abo lition, he contends that unless the constitution and statutes are altered by a vote of the people no governor should in flict his personal philosophy upon the established judicial processes unless there are ex ceptional circumstances which call for executive interjection. Expansion of present indus try and attraction of new pay rolls to Oregon is of highest priority on the list of needs for Oregon, Hatfield believes. Revision of tax laws to en courage investment capital through allowances . for capi tal gains is desirable, discim- inatory inventory taxes must be modified to name but two areas in which corrections in the present tax structure must be implemented. The property reappraisal program must go forward to erase pres ent inequities. Hatfield believes that gov ernment should not become the ally either of labor or of management, but rather a neutral agent affording lead ership under which both may prosper. The people of Oregon can begin the centennial year and second century . of statehood with the governorship in the hands of Mark Hatfield, an able administrator, experien ced . public servant, devoted churchman, combat veteran a man of unquestioned integ rity and rare gift of leadership. Hatfield for Governor Committee . . Holmes Declares Hatfield Stripped Of Many Duties Portland -Wis- Gov. Robert D. Holmes, referring to Mark Hatfield as "this young man who so badly wants my job, said Monday night that his November opponent "hasn't much to do" as secretary of state. Stripped of Duties Holmes told the Multnomah County Labor council that a Republican legislature had stripped the secretary of state of his duties when it thought a Democrat would win the post in 1956 The governor, in an apparent reference to Hatfield's charges that Holmes had failed to comply with the letter of the law by failing to visit state institu tions every 90 days, said this gave Hatfield not much to do except inspect state buildings in his role as "custodian. Holmes also charged Hat field had ignored the two- party system by failing to identify himself as a Republi can in his campaign litera ture. Grandpa vs. Bridegroom .. The governor also men tioned comments made about the campaign which he said has been called the race be tween "the grandpa and the bridegroom." He said he was proud to be a grandfather. Holmes cited his record in cutting taxes, adding to the basic school support fund, in creased salaries for college professors, a $25 per census child school fund boost and improved labor legislation. Hatfield Claims Per Capita Wealth Not Keeping Pace Forest Grove-flJPD-Oregon's per capita wealth has not kept pace with Washington and California for three rea sons, Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, Republican candi date for governor, told a chamber of commerce meet ing Monday. Hatfield said that Oregon's three principal industries, timber, agriculture and tour ist, are seasonal, adding that 12-month type jobs must be developed. Not Competitive - He said that Oregon's tax structure is not competitive with those of Washington and California. "We must be com petitive if we are to hold in dustry and attract new busi ness," the secretary of state said. He charged that the present administration's attitude to ward business "does not en courage existing business to stay." Hatfield repeated his criti cism of "an administration that allies itself with either business or with labor." He said a "middle of the road" policy was necessary for real progress.
