Open Letter, and Reply.

Oregon City, Ore, June 22.-Dr.
James Withycombe, Corvallis, Ore
Dear Sir: Are you in favor of state
and national prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating
liquorsl Your speech last night at
the Methodist church in this city was
very interesting, but you did not say
where you stand on this question.
Perhaps this was an oversight, be-
cause You told us You had caused the
discharge of one of your Subordinates
in the state s service for entering Il
saloon, and you promise to enforce the
laws if You are elected.
II you are in favor of state and Ma
tional prohibition, will you Join with
Dr. Smith of the democrats, Mr.. Gill
of the progressives and myself of the
prohibitionists, all being candidates
for governor, in publicly advocating
the Oregon dry amendment and ma
tional prohibilionl The issue cannot
be cvaded in this campaign. Such
public declaration ON your part will
take the liquor question ont of par
tisan politics in this state and every
greatly increase the majority for the
adoption Of the Oregon dry amend
ment in November. Nou are to be
congratulated ON having the opportu-
nifty 10 render so great public ser
vice. Sincerely yours.

Pleased With Seymour Decision.

The popularity Of superintendent
of Schools II. c. Seymour among
teachers of the county is shown by
a remark made by an educator in n
rural realm to The Observer this
week; 81 was certainly much pleas
ed when | read in The Observer that
Mr.. Seymour had declined to accept
the Portland appointment. His re-
naming in Polk county means that
we are to continue educational work
along progressive lines and advanced
methods. This news was received
with universal pleasure by the teach
ers in the county and | am one of the

WILL URGE TWO MEASURES,
Tax Committee Appointed By Legis-
lature Holds Meeting.

After discussing the various tax
measures to be submitted to vote
of the people at general election this
fall, the legislative tax committee, at
a session in Salem on Tuesday, voted
to appoint committee of three to
prepare arguments for the pamphlet
Tor two constitutional amendments re-
ferred by the last legislature, which
permit the classification of property
for taxation.
For the present, the committee de-
cided, it would be wise to center its
fight to carry these two amendments,
and to completely y ignore nll measures
in relation to taxation which are being
initiated. Possibly, it may decide
later ON to oppose these measures,
but the consensus of opinion today
was that the wiser course would be
to leave them alone.
The two constitutional amendments
are to repeal two constitutional pro
visions that all taxation shall be equal
and uniform, and permit property to
be classified for purposes of taxation.
Both were submitted to the voters at
the last election and defeated. 1t was
as the opinion of the com
mittce that until the amendments are
enacted no reform tax legislation can
be enacted by the state.

EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
DIR. WITHYCoMBE CoRRECTS
SOME MISSTATEMENTS.
Candidate for Governor Defines His
Attitude Toward Chinese Labor
and Primary.

There having been an attempt on
the part Of the democratic press to
misrepresent the republican guberna-
toria candidate, DR.. Withycombe, con
cerning his position on the Chinese
labor question and likewise the direct
primary, the doctor has addressed the
following signed communication to
The Portland Journal:
"Colvallis. Oregon, June 2S.-To
the Editor of the Journal-Your re-
port of my recent address at Oregon
City is absolutely misleading. In
speaking Of a greater Oregon / men
toned the fact that in my opinion, u
blunder was made in not permitting
the Chinese to continue the grubbing
of this land, as it was entirely out
of the question at that time to have
the work done by white labor.
"lf the Chinese had been permitted
to finish this work, Clackamas county
today would have had prosperous
homes for hundreds of families
while it now has 100000 acres Of eX-
cellcnt farming land in brush and
scattering timber. This great loss to
our people was caused by agitators
and demagogues.
Incidentally | mentioned that my
personal friend, Sylvester Pennoyer,
was made governor on this issue.

the standpoint of economic agricul-
ture, was simply reviewing historical
facts relating to agriculture and had
no intention Of defending Chinese la
bor, TO which ! am strongly opposed,

clusion law. 1t is clearly a case of
misapprehension ON the part of your
reporter Of the real meaning of my
remarks. y
And hoFe Is what the republican
candidate had to say about the direct i
primary as told by the Corvallis
Times-Gazette:
" For instance, one man asked me

that we have laws for party organ |
