Buick carried the coterie through the
scenic oak and pine clad hills of Ben
ton and Polk counties to their destin-
alton. The trip both coming and going
was without incident to mar the
pleasure of a delightful trip, and
pleasant days outing in the pure fresh
air and balmy sunshine of Oregon.
The crowd was congenial, the day
ideal and the roads were so perfect
as to be the subject of intermittent
and high appreciation. In
fact the good roads in Polk county
are a model which ought to be seen
by all those who are averse to good
roads expenditures.-Alb Evening

tiers of Polk County:

To the voters of Polk County:
Having received the Republican
nomination for Assessor, 1 respect
fully ask your support for my election
November s.. My principles are:
Rigid economy in office, courteous
treatment to everybody To be a
servant of the people, not a boss; but
shall be firm to do my duty without
special favor and without fear. A
careful and impartial consideration of
every complaint. Cheerful assist
ance in looking up records, maps,
etc. in the office. A low rather than
a high rate of assessment. To be
sure that property is not assessed
higher in Polk county than in other
counties, thus avoiding payment of
more than our proportion of a state
tax. To leave duplicate of assess
ment when made, and to notify you
of any alterations, if any be made
afterward School district lines care
fully drawn and property assessed in
proper school districts. Large prop
erty owners assessments in just pro-
portion to the smaller. Corporations
must pay their portion of the taxes.
Favor community board of equaliza-
tion. To guard the best interests of
the people.
Respectfully,
ARTHUR r. ALLEN.
