NEWSPAPER TALK ABOUT WHO SHALL BE THE NEXT
GOVERNOR.
GUVEKNUH.

Most of the newspaper talk about the next goyenorShp
of Oregon IS on the unlIumnaed plane Of personality
We should rise above mere personal political interest IN
considering this matter.
Don't they know that state taxes have grown ntoeaby
high land cannot 90 higher without running the chances OF
development for this Sate2
What was II elected Simon mayor OF Portland but the in
tolerabe burden OF taxation in that city,.
All the bowling of epubcanSm viii not lower taxes one
hair so long as the political machine in the saddle taking
what II wants out of the public treasury
The state does not need Republican nor DlnmcIa
for governor much needs man to curb the gratis
Of the machine.
The man who discusses this matter earnestly is accused
OF being candidate,
What of ha2 Shall we not lay bare the eSpot of state
politics because some one calls US a candidate?
Just for samples mere clerk in a department gets an
ambition TO have department created tor his benefit
The clerk is then appointed 10 the head Of that depart
ment and becomes commissioner
The commissioner Of this, that or the other, is then pro-
Wded with big salary
AS clerk he got $1,000 or $500 per year, but In the new
office he has had created he gets S30O0,
Then he In turn has a chief clerk, a bookkeeper and
stenOgrapher and suite Of offices and stationery etc.
Instead of doing the work he did for $500 year four
people are employed to do the same work and the cost TO
the taxpayer Is multiplied
Four places have been created instead of and fastened
permanently upon the state and the taxpayer fOOtS the bill
When Il Is considered that this system has been worked in
all departments of the government why wonder at high taxes
The state has had anything but business administration
