TOOzE URGED TO RUN
Walter L. Tooze of Dallas is Being
Groomed to Enter Race as Repre-
sentative.

Up to the present time, there have
been no republicans who have an
nounced their candidacy for the of
flee of Representative from Polk
County, and thus far Thomas Brunk
of Eola, who has filed for the demo-
cratic nomination, seems to have a
clear field. However, it is being ru-
mored around considerably that Wal
ter L. Tooze, Jr., of Dallas, will be-
come a candidate for the republican
nomination. 1t is a well-know fact
that leading men from various see
tions of the County have been urging
Mr. TUoze TO make the race.
Mr.. Tooze is a native 0regonian.
his home during his whole life having
been in Marion and Polk Counties.
For the past six years, he has been
pIaeticing law in Dallas, and during
that time he has been very prominent
in public affairs. At the presen;
time he is the attorney for the State
Iind Board fer Polk County, AMI
City attorney Of Falls City. He
served as City attorney of Dallas for
four years, and then resigned to ac-
eep, the position of Deputy Distric,
Attorney under Gale S. Hill, which

To Our Readers.

1t is the desire of the editor of the
Observer to print all of the local hap
penings of interest, especially those of
a boosting. industrial, educational or
social nature. 1t is the desire to print
the farming news as well as the town
news and we will do our best 10 do
so. Phone or write, or call and tell
us about the party you gave, or the
new house you are building, or the
plans of your club, or the condition

like to know.

position he held for six months, unit
5he new law creating new district
went into effect, when ID. II. Upioltn
was appointed as District Attorney
and later County Attorney by Gov
crnor West.
1t is known that Mr.. Tooze favors
good roads, but is also opposed to a
heavy bond issue for this purpose.
lie is working upon a new road law
which he feels will prove the solution
If the good road, problem: If he de-
cides to become candidate for the
Legislature, and is elected, it is very
robable that he will work for tile
lassage of the road law which h. pro
poses.
Whether or not he will listen tC the
request of his friends and become a
candidate cannot be learned. Answ-
ering a question propounded by an
Observer representative as to what
he intended to do, Mr.. Tooze said ::
~ would certainly like to represent
Polk County in the next Session of
the Legislature, and | feel confident
that | could do Polk County much
good there, and there are several
things | would like to fight for over
there among them being the
road law | am working upon, a re-
quiring payment of taxes in full by
April 1st of each year; besides this,
| would like to make fight upon this
ever increasing creation of useless Of
fees and commissions; | would like
to be in a position where | could
show the people that a man can be
elected to office, and after election,
fulfill his promises made to the people
before election; | would like to see
law passed providing for a General
Road Supervisor in each County,
whose business it would be to travel
all over the County at all times of the
year and look after the maintenance
and repair of roads-this would save
the County many thousands of dollars
each year; Waldo Finn in this County
will prove himself to be worth his
weight in gold 10 the tax-paying pub
lie of this County before he has act
ed in this capacity year, for prop
er care, repair. and maintenance of
roads is of the utmost importance.
But though | would like to do all
these things, a long and hard cam
paign would take up considerable
time. and would be a matter of con-
siderable expense. / really do
not know whether | can put my pri-
vate business in such shape that |
can make the race. However, | APP
preciate the confidence my friends
are showing in me. and | assure You
that if see my way clear to make

BILLY SUNDAY RECEIVES
S36,743

Talk about the high cost Of living,
and then think what the evangelist
Billy Sunday received for six weeks
work in Pittsburg, Pa, few weeks
ago. Mr.. Sunday has made many
new records but the record of re-
ceiving $36,743 for his six weeks
stay in Pittsburg beats them all. His
other record was at Wilkes-BaTe,
Pa, where he received $4,000. Mr..
Sunday does not make any charge
for his services, but his workers ask
donations, and this amount is what
he is paid. What does he do with
all his money is a question asked and
often unanswered. He owns a fruit
farm at Hood River and well, let
the revenue officers find out as his
income is away above $4,000 year.

We wonder where the idea Origi-
mated that newspaper was gold
mine?
No other line of business has lost
the money newspapers have. A few
years ago statistics carefully show
ed that 80 per cent of the country
newspapers started failed, and Only
2 per cent had the original promot-
ers, 5 per cent owned their building
and 8 per cent were out of debt
Can any other line of business show
ss'ch a loosing game? If it was not
for spite and to grind other people s
axes, fewer newspapers would have
started, hence the loss would have
been less.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-03-10

The Tribune of Independent at
Woodburn has turned its toes to the
daisies after losing good money in the
newspaper game. 1t takes patronage
to support newspapers, and to issue
II good one il must have united sup
port, and not let factions interfere
with the general good the Press does
for the town. Woodburn has taken
Il backward step by allowing the
Tribune to leave for other fields.

Why a Salmon Day7

1t seems like a graft instead of a
boost to proclaim a Salmon Day.
What good is it? do you receive any
benefit If the salmon packers, who
are nearly all wealthy, want Salmon
Day observed. Why don't they sell
the salmon on that day for the same
price that they pay the poor fisher
men for their catch. Why do they
have the Governor proclaim a day
for all to eat their product and in
crease their wealth at the expence
of the public. The poor citizen has
become mighty poor in intellect when
he has to have the Governor tell him
what to eat Why not tell them to
eat eggs, chickens, or Prune flour, or
Polk County products. Rats, the
salmon packers don't need boosting.
If they do, let them pay for it.

Craclksmen In Grocery Store Garry Away Only Little
 Quantity of Loot

Fairfield had another burglary sometime last night as sort of an echo of the Tuesday morning affair when yegg men armed to the teeth and equipped with a high power motor car, blew open the safes in the post office and held the town at bay with automatic guns of the latest pattern. Last night the burglars, entered J. M. Bookstaver's grocery store on Spring street and although they entered like regular eracksmen, Jimrnying the front door, they apparently were dis appointed in finding no safe to crack. They took the few pennies that were in the money drawer and about $10 worth of cigars and tobacco. One of the cracksrnen had aweet tooth for a large box of candy was taken
 ] It is thought by thosR familiar with yegg lore that the gay cat, or a5- vance man who marked up Fairfield for this band Of yeggs, made an err TOT or that his directions were mis- understood by the can opening divi- sion as they apparently intended to find a safe in the store. Other Fair field merchants with safes can be thankful this morning that the plans of the yeggmen went wrong. Book staver's grocery store Is located on Spring street and the electric cars pass the door. Mir. Bookstaver said that the only supposition that he held as to the time of the burglary was based on the fact that four mex were seen in the neighborhood as early as 10 o'clock last night. The broken door was not discovered until day. break this morning.
