WHAT THE G-O.P. DID The Tillamook County Bank AT TILLAMOOK, IN THE STATE OF OREGON, AT THE CLOSE OF FOR TILLAMOOK COUNTY. Republican Party the Only Progressive Party—Made the People Prosperous. Many political subjects are now being discussed pro and con bv the politicial spellbinders and office ■ . - • ____ 1 --------- «.'„11.. seekers of - all parties, and especially by fiinep those xxrnri who have “flopped" over to what is commonly called the progressive or Bull Moose party. It is our pur pose in this article to show that the Republican party ig the genuine progressive party and made good to the people. It is not our intention to discuss the progressive policies of the Republican party in the abstract or from a theoretical standpoint, nor from a distance, but what most of us are perfectly familiar with and experienced for a number of years in our midst. Also, that the citizens of Tillamook County have participated in the financial benefits on account of the progressive policies of the Republican party. In Tillamook County the people had to hustle for a livelihood because this was a new, undeveloped country, consequently we are about all in one class, belonging to what is called the common people. Let us now see what the Republican party have done directly and indirectly for Tillamook County and how our citizens have prospered. First.—Most everybody knows that those who owned timber claims during the Cleveland administration, could not get $500 forthem. Hy a change of administration these timber claims are now worth from $5,000 to $29.030, and by the increase in the valuation of timber, the timber owners are now paying 80 per cent of the taxes of the county. In other words, the timber pays 80c. to 20c. paid by the dairyman and others to build roads, bridges, schools, etc. Thanks to the progressive policy of the Republician party. Second.—When the Democrats were in control of the country, the best dairy lands in Tillamook County could be bought for about $25 00 an acre. Now they are worth all the way from $200.00 to $500.00 an acre. Thanks to the Republican prosperity. Third.-When the dairy industry was in its infancy in Tillamook county, it had a hard struggle during Democratic hard times. All that the dairymen obtained for 100 pounds of milk was about 50 cents. It was impossible to boost the price of butter and cheese when the dairy industry was in its infancy in this county and it was a hard struggle with most of those who were endeavoring to foster this industry to be paid so small price# for their products. When a change of administration came the price advanced from year to year, and where the dairymen received only 50c per 100 pounds for their milk they have been receiving over $1.50 the past few years. Republi cian prosperity gave the dairy industry of this county a big boost, as all those who were engaged in the business at that time will admit Fourth.—It was hard for men to get work at 50c. to 75c. a day for common labor, and many went hungry because they could not obtain employment at those small figures during the indus trial stagnation when the people put the democrats into harness. Common labor in now paid $2.50 to $3.00 a day and skilled labor from $4.00to $5.00 a day. All honor to the progressive policy of the Republican party that the laboring man is now being well paid, for thia puts money into circulation. Fifth. —During the last Democratic fiuaucial panic, money was ao scarce that few persona in Tillamook county had banking accounts. Probably 50 persons, and these mostly business men, had banking accounts in the Bank of C. 4 E. Thayer Today there are at least 4000 persons in Tillamook County with banking accounts, largely made up of the dairymen. Take for instance the September statements of the two largest bank ing institutions in the county, and we find that the Tillamook County Rank has $456,313.21 on hand and the First National Bank $214,909.53, which, with the other banks in the county, amount to about three quarters of a million dollars. The Republician party caused confidence in the country, and in stead of people hiding it away it is now in circulation. Sixth.—Tillamook County was bottled up for want of tran»porta- tion. aud the reason that it obtained a railroad was on account of plenty of money in circulation during the Republican ad ministrations. There are good prospects ot the Hill system building, and other roads, should present conditions continue, but should there be a change of administration it is safe to say that these will be delayed indefinitely. Seventh.—The Republican party gave Tillamook County a rural free delivery a postal savings hank and a parcels post is to he established in January. The government has approved the bar project at Nehalem and appropriated $100,090 towards that enterprise, and decided upon the improvement of Tillamook bar. agreeing to pay $460,000 towards that project. These two project«, when completed, will make the county au industrial bee hive when the Panama Camil, which was undertaken by the Republican party, ia complete. 1 Eighth.—Business men in all lines of trade have done and are doing a prosperous business. Take for instance the liquor busiuess in this county. Because there is more money in circu lation these places of business have been doing a thriving business, which they could not do should things tighten up bv a change of government. v 1 Why not. then, let well enough alone ? We have been enjoying progressive prosperity in Tillamook County for several years, as all fair minded persons must admit, and which should be appreciated by the citizens. But the politicians and office seekers have been sowing the seeds of discontent in their attempt to belittle President Taft and defeat the Republican party. It is now up to the people to decide whe ther they intend to go back on the most progressive party the country ever had. the most prosperous times they have ever enjoyed, and take a leap in the dark The people have been hoodwinked in Oregon long enough, and instead of falling all over them selves in behalf of some wild-cat system of legisla tion. it is time to cut it out. for the Republican party made good iu the past as it will make good in the future, and without the assistance of those who have gone over to the one man partv. In conclusion we want to say that should there be a change of admin istration, the prosj>erous times w ill change, not for the better This is not said to scare the voters for it is generally agreed that a slum will immediatelv follow, shonld President Taft fail to be re-elected ’ BUSINESS SEPTEMBER 4, 1912 Dollars Cts.
