WHY DESTROY the INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF OREGON ? That’s wliat the so-called “Water Front” bills, Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot, will do if passed at the Novem ber election. Since R. A. Booth, Republican can didate for United States Senator, an swered the question, “Where did you get it?” Republican papers have raised the question for George E. Chamber- lain, the Democratic nominee to an swer, “How did you spend it?” Some industrious digger has compiled the list of public offices Chamberlain has held since coming to Oregon from Mississippi and calculates that Cham berlain has drawn down more than $100,000 in money contributed by tax payers. It is how Chamberlain spent this money that Republicans are curious. One newspaper editor recounts that Chamberlain has been Attorney-Gen eral. District Attorney, Governor and United States Senator, holding some of these offices more than one term, and that Chamberlain since entering public life has scarcely ever been off the payroll, as he entered upon a new job before the old one was worn out. In his explanation of “where he got It,” Booth told the stOry of hls life. Democrats say that Booth is an aris tocrat and does not belong to the plain people. Booth’s own narrative re counts how he was one of a family of 12 children; that he lived In a log cabin, worked on a farm and took bis pay in chickens; punched cattle, herded sheep and otherwise helped support the family until he was 21 years old and paid for his first “store clothes’’ by gathering wool from bushes and taking the hides from Bheep which died on the range. He struggled bard for an education and acquired it. He was a day laborer, and day 4aborers are supposed to be plain people. By Industry he met with success and associated with oth er* he built tui a sawmill industry which developed the timber resources of interior Oregon. Just why it should be, is not clear. With a long memory, Colonel C. E. S.

Colonel Wood baa been less for the necessities of the house unsparing of Chamberlain's political record and night after night be has hold, and still the cost of living is been declaring Chamberlain a double high.

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION MEANS R. A. BOOTH Booth's statement Included the dec laration that at times (lie sawmill he managed employed 1300 men and tl|e payroll exceeded $80,000 a month. Tlie concern brought into Oregon more than $10,000,000 of outside money and farmers, merchants, laborers and en tire communities received the major part of this sum, directly or indi rectly. The Republicans point out that Booth's rise from a farm hand and day laborer is to his credit and that hundreds of other Oregon boys are developing the same way. They also point out that the Industry which Booth's efforts built up brought Into the state more money than the Gov ernment has appropriated for river and harbor improvements In Oregon since the state was admitted to the Unioq. purlng the period that Booth was turning timber Into a stream of gold which was flowing through interior Oregon, spreading prosperity to work ers and merchants, the Republicans declare that Chamberlain was draw- Ing a salary from tax funds as an office-holder. Having been born in Oregon and lived here all his life, Booth's supporters contend that he knows its people and the needs of the state as well as any man can and. having made good, whether as a far mer, cowboy, sheepherder, bookkeep er or sawmill man, he can make good in the Senate. The Impression that Booth Is a mil lionaire has been gained because of ti e great commercial enterprise which ho caused to grow from almost noth ing and because of the large contri butions he has given Io educational p.id other betterment works, Booth confesses that he never was a mil lionalre and that hls holdings In the business he managed was very email; iu fact.
