HE URGES MANY
REFORM MEASURES
Economy in Administration of
Office Promised in His
Platform.
Attorney-General A. M. Crowford this
afternoon announced his candidacy for
governor on the republican ticket. His
announcement follows:
"When one makes application for
the nomination for the high office of
governor of the stato, those whose votes
be solicits, wish, and' are entitled to
I: now something at least' of the -applicant
' views upon current events -and
governmental functions.
"Therefore, with this announcement
of my candidacy for nomination on the
republican ticket for the office of gov
ernor of Oregon, subject to the approv
al of the voters, I respectfully submit
to the consideration of the electorate,
the following suggestions tending as I
toeTicve towards better government for
'Oregon.
"Since tho products of field nnd for
est are the foundation of all prosper
ity and a largo portion of our lands are
farming and grazing, tbo imposition
upon such lands of the entire burden of
taxation would bo intolerable to the
farmer and to workers who own their
own homes. Therefore the single tax
propaganda should be rejected.
"As the struggle, for existence bears
li'aviets upon tho laborers of the statJ, 1
would suggest exemption from taxation
and execution of nil household furni
ture and personal property to be chos
en by the householder to a reasonable
amount, and that a constitutional
.amendment be adopted to effecuate the
S'line.
For Botter Roads,
"Believing that cheap transportation
is a great factor in the development
of a state, and tluit nothing is more
conducive thereto than good roads, and
a Federal court for tho district of
Oregon, having decreed that the bal

grant, amounting to something over
two millions of acres, originally grant

rood, north and south through tho
state; is forfeitod on tho ground
cf non-complianco with the conditions
of the grant, I would suggest that all
the influenco which can be brought to

Several Causes for Race De

RICH WOMEN TO BLAME
Those Who Have Beet Homes for Chil

UNITED PBKS8 LBASBD WIBS.
Battle Creek, Mich., Jan. 10. In
these modern days, said Dr. D. A. Sar
gent, director of the Hemenway gym
nasium, Harvard, at the eugenic con
ference today, the doctrine of the "sur
vival of the fittest" has been reversed
it is the "survival of the unfittest"
now.
"Twenty per cent of America's mar
ried women," he went on, "are unable
to bear children. Twenty-four per cent
of tho women of the so-called upper
class are unablo to bring children into
the world. Twenty-seven per cent of
women college graduates are storile.
"In some New England towns the
death rate exceeds the birth rate. If
it were not for our foreign population
some of our larger cities would be do
populated. "
Causes of Race Degeneracy,
As causes of "race degeneracy" Dr.
Sargent named poverty, workingnien 's
inability to support large families, lux
urious living, ' rich women's love of
ease and amusement, the fact that a
steadily increasing number of women
are entering professions, which prevent
motherhood and the growing attitude of
apartment house owners, that children
are a nuisance
"In this ago of intense living," said
the doctor, "it is hardly to be won
dered at that many persons shrink
from the responsibility of raising chil
dren, but sex hunger is a dominating
passion, which gives rise to the most
frightful crimes of our-times infanti
cide. "Ancient Greeso and Rome paved the
way for their decay when their beauti
ful women ceased to bear children, and
men sought tho companionship of cour
tesans. The race which adopts this
method is doomed to eventual extinc
tion. Imperfectly Developed.
"Unless the bodies of our American
women aro more perfectly developed '
meet tho needs of tho race we surely
face deterioration,
"Yet of what value is it to have
women perfect ill herself, if man comes
to her diseased. No wonder girls ore
becoming reluctant to entrust them-

That the Clemens Horst company, tho

horses were attached, to wagons, and
the rather narrow tires of the wagons
cut through the gravel surface of tho
roadway into the enrth beneath for a
distance of a foot. The road is totally
ruined, It was asserted today, and it
will cost thousands of dollars to repair
It.
Many of the residents favor some ac
tion toward making the hop rompnny

asserted today that there would not be
rand funds enough available in that
section of Polk county to make the re
pairs this year.

crock on North Front street, ami mak
ing tho necessary improvements on the
street north of tho structure.
It is said that there are about 2"0
men waiting to go to work on the

it is more than likely that the crew will
be placed on the job at, an early date
now, that tho court has removed the
obstacles.
