By II A IK SCAItllHOCC.il John Peyton. 49-year-old Wllln mette ratify farmer who Is angling for the republican nomination for j governor, went out on Uie limb Frl ; iluy In (nvor o( legalised gambling and llquor-by-thc-itrtnk in Oregon, lie It Die first gubernatorial espir- anl lo actually come out lor a I liberalisation ol the states gambling and alcohol control laws, i In a hotel-room Interview with a I reporter lor The Herald and News. I Peyton said he favored tapping i gambling and liquor sources for tax J money and would like to see both questions brought oul for the people ' lo decide by initiative petition. Peyton, a former Portland real j estate man who for the past two 1 years has operated a 50-acre furm 1 between Eugene and Junction City. Is running a solo campaign (or the republican nomination and stresses that he is backed by no one. He de clares that "machine politics" In Oregon need a cleau-up and that his object will be to "shake out the petty larceny politicians" and put the state government on a business basts. Gambling and liquor are "two evils that have always been with us," Peyton declares, and he believes the state should utilize the in I evttabillty as a money source as the ' adjoining state ol Nevada does. With money accrutng (rom taxes on regulated gambling and liquor sales the state would be able to re duce income taxes and properly as sessments and still be able to (Ind more money (or roads and schools. "Oregon needs the money and has plenty of places to put It," the re publican candidate said. Peyton dwelled on the need for better roads at some length, proba bly because of a personal experience with snow--covered Willamette pass. Thursday as he was driving over the pass to Klamath Falls, he pulled over to let another car pass and his car and trailer skidded into the ditch. He was hauling two registered Poland China boars from his lane county (arm to buyers here. Straining to lilt the trailer out o( the ditch, he cracked two ribs. That s why Peyton was taking It easy in a hotel room today. Highway department workers dually got his car, trailer and hogs back on the road and he drove on into Klamath Falls with an opinion that the Willamette highway should be "six feet wider on each side." Peyton Is a 1st army division veteran of World War II. having spent two and a half years in France and been disabled. He was a demo crat until "the new deal made a republican" out of him. He was born in Virginia In 1899 while his parents were en route lo the West, so classifies himself as an Oregon pioneer. Takes His Stand JOHN PKTON South Seas Ruler Worried Over Kids HOLLYWOOD.
