THE HAGUE, June 3.-An army OF

the "Volksweerbaarnei or national
defense association, which enjoys a
state subsidy and had lao branches
and nearly $4,000 members.
Under this program every able
bodied man and woman would be en-
listed for the country's defense;
there would be universal service in
stead of the limited compulsory sys-
fem which now obtains The associa-
lion is convinced that freedom and
Independence can be assured only
when all who are able, conscious OF
their duty, prepare themselves in SER
vice in the country's defense forces,
with view, in case Of necessity. to
being able to defenu those most sac
red possessions of the nation"
Only few of the large levies thus
obtained would suffice to form the
field army. Thence inc men would
mass out into the 'flocal troops"-ter

would be so organilec that, together
with the strong localized frontier and
coast guards, they could be ready to

speak Spanish9 If you can, and speak
it in such a manner that it can be un-
derstood by others besides yourself the
government wants you, and is willing to
pay an annual salary larger than the
average bank clerk, or school supelin-
tendent is earning.
Your Uncle Sam is hunting for men
qualified to act as clerks to com
mercial attaches in foreign service. He
also wants clerks qualified in foreign
languages for service in the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce, at Washington.
On May II the Civil Service commits
sion will hold examinations for these
positions, and while this is q trifle
soon for those who have not been
studying foreign languages, yet it shows
the possibilities for those who are will
ing to post up on their Dano-NOrwegian,
Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portu-
guese, Russian, Spanish or Swedish
languages. OF course Uncle Sam does
not expect the applicant to tackle all
of these languages. Only one or more
is required.
Clerks to commercial attaches are
paid $500 year while those who
qualify only for foreign languages are
paid somewhat less. But these clerks
are in position to take advantage Of
vacancies that may arise in the higher
grade positions Of the field service.
Those interested in entering this
service might write addressing their
letters to the Civil Service Commission,

W. c. WINSLOW

During the canvass of the county for
the republican nomination for district
attorney, L have been continuously ask
ed this question: "Where do you stand
upon our new prohibition lava" l
have been asked this question numer-
OJsly both by those who favor the law
and those who oppose it. And since |
find that the people generally want to
know where the candidates stand upon
this question, L take this means of max
ing my position known.
If nominated and elected district at
torney for Marion county 1 shall do all
in my power to enforce this law, and I
make this statement publicly through
the press, so that there may be no mis-
understanding as to my attitude to-
wa -s5his matter. This law was placed
upon our statute books by tremend
nous majority of the people, and should
be enforced as honestly and cOnscien-
tiously as any law of this state And
the person who doesn't want it en-
forced should not vote for, me for dis.
trict attorney.
My opponents say 1 will prosecute
"too hard. ." That they are "safer. -
Thanks for the compliment! 1 will
prosecute as hard as 1 can violaters of
all laws without discrimination. I did
not suppose that this would be an is.
sue in this campaign. 1 supposed that
questions had been settled and that all
candidates for this office would be will.
ing to enforce this law fearlessly and
that the question might be settled
strictly upon the basis of efficiency.
But find that those who are opposed
to the enforcement of this law are as
busy as ever. They are centralizing
their forces behind one candidate who
seems to have promised them that they
need not fear his activities. Since the
issue has been made by those who seem
to be unable to give up, have no hes
itancy in announcing my position in ref
erence thereto. 1 am not only willing
to enforce this law, but 1 have had
cons% rable experience along that line
and believe that if nominated and elect
ed, will be able to enforce it. / have
acted as special prosecuting attorney
in several counties under the focal
option law, and my record there shows
that was not only willing, but did en-
force that law. If you believe that this
new law should receive fair and honest
consideration and fearless enforcement,
along with the other criminal laws of
this state, l earnestly solicit your sup
port at the republican primaries May
10th.
Respectfully submitted,

Fellow Taxpayer: A large portion of
the expense of conducting the county
assessor s office is ehargeable to annual
field assessment work. A great saving
could be made by cutting down assess
ment of property values to once in four
years.
This is only one of the many tax
reforms which / have in mind and will
advocate if nominated for and elected
to this office, where experience, bust
ness training, efficiency and q true
sense of justice and equality counts
My principal object in seeking the
office is to readjust property valua.
tions upon the bases of equity and i'm
partiaity. Do the principles apply to
the present system2 l think not, and in
support of my convictions / respectfully
submit the following condensed facts
for your benefit and consideration:
Some Assessment Facts.
Average annual expense of conduct
ing Marion county assessor g office for
four (4) years period, 1909 to 1912, in
AAuoANN1 " % P1ypVDs
Average annual expense of conduct
ing same office for three (3) years
period, 1013-14-15, was $6,l57, after al
lowing deduction of $500 for increased
expense due 70 change in law in 1913.
Total reduction of Marion county
valuations, 1915 from l914, was $943,-
348-nearly one million.
Loss to county in public service cor
poration valuations on account of this
reduction was over 100000. Actual loss
in taxes due from corporations on 81
mill levy, $6,200 Two-thirds Of total
reduction, or 100000, was made in Sa-
lem city alone. An equal reduction in
valuations is just. An unequal reduc-
tion throws tax burdens upon the un-
favored and is manifestly unfair.
In regard to illusions and juggling Of
figures and reports if necessary will
publish more facts.
These facts and figures are taken
from the Taxpayers Guide, issued by
County Clerk Max Gehlhar.
Fellow taxpayers, have you received
any Of the benefits Of these reduc-
tionsl
Your vote and influence will aid in
equalizing assessed valuations and will
be appreciated.
Yours respectfully,
A. ]. ANDERSON.

Polk County Observer: One Of the
most important discoveries ever made
in Polk county is that of outcroppings
of camel coal near Crowley station,
specimens Of which have been submitted
to the proper department Of the Oregon
Agricultural college, and from which
favorable reports have been received.
Not only coal has been found in this
neighbOrhOod, but oil blossoms are ap-
parent in many places, indicative Of the
existence Of coal, and the probable ex-
istence Of gas. A considerable quantity
Of the coal outcrOppings have been
gathered from hillsides, and when test
ed burn with a bright flame like a
candle, from which peculiar character
istie camel coal derives its name in
this country.
