THE ELECTION.

Tuesday morning the following dis
match from Will H. Hays was received at
Republican Headquarters in Augusta,

ordinations a thousand times. When
we consider it is the first time COVER
nor has been reelected in twenty years,
in Maine, by either party and when we
consider that the Second District was
Democratic in 1912 and 1914 and carried
by White by only 500 in Sept. 1910 and
then carried by the Democrats IN Nov.
1916 by over 1900, and row Republican
by nearly 5000, and wilen we consider
the splendid majority of Senator Fernald
and the other congressman, all tremen-
dous for an off year, we get an idea OF
the extent of your success. 1t means
much for the party and the consequent
good of the country which is the 1lrst
consideration of US all. w ILL II. HAYS.
The Democratic campaign had no log-
cal foundation, 1t was built upon the
sands of sophistry and Misrepresentation.
The wise and able Democrats of the State
did not believe in this and held themselves
aIoof The statement that in order 10
support the President one must vote the
Democratic ticket was too ridiculous to
catch the intelligent voter. Atthis writ
ing it seems that Governor Milliken has
about 5000 majority. tnat Senator Fernald
has about 10 G00, that every county but
one has been carried by the Republicans,
that The Senate will be made up OF %
Republicans and Democrats, and that
the next House of Representatives will
contain about 100 Republicans and 81
Democrats. 1t has been sweeping Re

The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1918-02-15

Councilman L. W. Barnes is entitled
to credit for suggestion that will
save the tax payers of Oroville a great
many dollars. The condition of the
streets has made it absolutely neces-
sary that a dressing of shale rock be
applied as early as possible. In con-
junction with the county the town has
secured large deposit of shale rock
very near the town limits, and bunkers
are to be put in so that the rock can
be handled to the best advantage.
Mr.. Barnes conceived the idea a box
bed could be fitted to the new truck
just purchased by the council for use
of the fire department and that vehicle
used for the purpose of hauling rock
and distributing the same on the
streets under the direction of the mar
shell. AS it costs from Sc to So per day
for teams to do this class of work, and
a truck will do the work of four teams
at least, Mr.. Barnes figures the town
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1918-02-15

can save about $25, or even more, per
day. When Mr.. Barnes advanced the
proposition to the other members of
the council they fell in at once.
Henry Bender, manager of the Ben
der Metals and Milling company, has
purchased the residence of DR.. T. F.
Robinson, situated in the east part of
town, and will make that his home
while doing business in this locality.
The purchase of a residence is an in
dication that Mr.. Bender is not en-
gagged in the mining game as tenn
porary venture. He is here to make a
success of his undertaking il earnest
application and strict business meth
DDS will accomplish that object. He is
putting his money and time in equip
ping a flotation plant, believing it is
! the solution to the tratment of ores in
this locality. and he will succeed if
he has hit upon the right method Of
saving values.

and expects to report at Mare Island

the marines because it is an excellent
branch of the service to serve in, and
then the marine uniform is the swell

cannot reason why, when he is asked
by the government to make personal
sacrifices. Those sacrifices would not
be requested if there were not good
and sufficient reasons for so doing. In
time of war it is the duty of citi-
zens in accord with their government
to respond cheerfully to every call up
on their aid, and the man or woman
who fails in that duty is not in accord
with his or her government The slack
err is not confined to the man who
shirks his duty in the field. The house
conservation plans formulated by
those in authority, or the business
man who fails to conform with re-
quests emanating from the same source
are as much slackers as the man who
resorts to all kinds Of excuses to es-
cape military service. This country is
at war A most deadly and destructive
war, and in order to escape the crush
ing cost of defeat every citizen must
contribute all the aid in his or her
power. Among many other things that
the government has requested as hav-
ing a cOntributory influence in carry
ing on war, is the early closing of
places of business, and restriction
as to the sales of certain food stuffs.
We in civil life are unable to under
stand why such requests are made, but
there are strong reasons or such re-
quests would not be suggested. Indeed
it is not the province of the citizen
to cavil under such rules and regula-
lions, and no man loyal at heart will
do so. Obedience is an imperative duty
and glory be it said for the patriotism
of the American business men that in
the main they have submitted to the
solicitation promptly and cheerfully.
So far the government has approached
the business man in spirit of gener-
Gus fairness, simply asking that they
submit to the slight sacrifice, but if a
disposition prevails among few to
disregard the request mandate will
be issued that no man can ignore with
impuity. Better to accept and face the
situation voluntarily with semblance
at least of willingness than be forced
to accept the inevitable in the end,
and pay penalty for playing the
Stacker. This appeal to the patriotism
of the business man and housewife Is
not meant for home consumption, as
we personally know of no slackers in
the community, but to all people
everywhere throughout the country.

taxable limit, he found no disposition
to shirk paying this war tax. On the
contrary in many instances he found
that tax payers even Indifferent about
subtracting certain expenditures that
would reduce the amount upon which
they were to pay tax. This is so differ
ent from the old prevailing idea that
the vast majority of people of means
are always studying methods of
Sinking taxes, that We consider it as
worthy of mention. One reason of this
is that the man of any means is almost
invariably intensely loyal, and willing
to contribute to the extent of his re-
sources toward helping the govern
ment carry on the war. 1t may be ad
ded in passing that Mr.. Sylvester is
one of the most courteous men we have
