PIERCE UNF AIR
ASSERTS OLCOTT
IN PUBLIC LETTER

Persistent Misrepresentation OF
coyernor Olcott's stand on the tax
,ssue is charged against Walter M
pierce, democratic gubernatorial
candidate, and the Oregon Jour
nal in a letter signed by the gov
ernor. In this letter Governor Oh
eott pointed out that Candidate
pierce and the Journal have used
a garbled excerpt of one of the
governors speeches in order to
make it appear that Governor Oh
cott stated that taxes cannot be
reduced in Oregon and may go
higher than at present.
Governor Olcott in his letter
quoted the paragraph used as it
was given to the press and deliv-
cred by him two weeks ago.
The letter is as follows:
To the Editor: The Oregon
Journal and Mr.. Pierce have per-
sistently misrepresented my atti-
tude on the tax issue. They state
that | have said in effect that tax
es cannot be reduced, and may go
higher, and they quote a garbled
excerpt from a speech of mine in
support of their assertion. The
written text of that speech was
furnished to the press, and no fair
minded man could so garble 1t as
to bring out the idea that the op-
position to me is endeavoring to
portray. Permit me to quote from
the typewritten sheet, as given to
the press, when l started out on
this campaign two weeks ago:
"For the year 1922 there were
27S9 distinct tax levying bodies in
the state. There are hundreds of
other bodies with power to levy
taxes that, for some reason or an
other, did not take advantage of
that power in 1922. They may
take advantage of it in 1928, in
1924 or in any other year If they
desire to do so, and il they do your
taxes from those sources will rise
rather than decrease. The gov
ernor has no power over the action
Of these tax-levying bodies save
In an exceptionally few cases.
These taxes are under the control
Of the people Of the various locali-
ties and are as remote from the
power of the executive control as
are the taxes of the federal gov
ernment."
Thus it will be distinctly seen
that the reference was entirely to
taxes in those localities where tax
levying authority exists that was
not exercised in 1922, but which
might be exercised at any time.
Mr.. Pierce and the opposition
press should be big enough and
fair enough to concede that / was
the originator in Oregon of the
idea that taxes should be reduced
and equalized, because they both
Know that made such a recon-
mendation to the legislature two
years ago, and that it was because
OF my calling their attention to
this condition, and urging upon |
them authority for the appoint
ment of a special tax investigation
that the present agita
ton concerning taxes resulted. In
ridentally, permit me to add that
The Oregon Journal, at the time
his commission was appointed by |
ne, made the statement editorially /
hat the appointments were "most
'Icellent." Very truly yours,
BEN w. .OLCOTT.

Save Gas and Thus
PrOlong the Supply

Consumers of natural gas cannot do
better for themselves than to enter
heartily into the crusade for cOnser-
walton of that essential product of ma
ture. 1t is not only conservation at
the producing end that is necessary,
F but conservation all along the line of
distribution and through the ultimate
consumer.
For a long time producers of ma
tural gas have recognized the impor-
lance of not wasting it either in pro-
duction or distribution. They have
spent enormous sums of money to
employ the most scientific measures
to prevent waste. They have had the
cooperation of the United States Blu
reau of Mines in their efforts to con-
serve one of the most extensively used
of natures resources. .... F.. g..
1t has been established that not the
extension of the use of natural gas 10
twelve million consumers but the waste
of it by inefficionCy and carelessness
ct the points of consumption is most
responsible for the necessity more
strictly to regulate the distribution
and which has resulted in greater cost
TO the consumer. ..
The campaign now being conducted
by the Natural Gas Association of
America, and Endorsed by the Bureau
of Mines, is not designed to discour-
age the proper and economical use Of
natural gas but so TO instruct the
public that consumers may be equip
ped with proper appliances and with
information of how to use them so as
to eliminate waste and to get the most
out of the gas they consume. !
The distributing companies are in
terested in this reform, because waste
threatens to diminish the supply and
ultimately TO end their distributing
business. Consumers will be instruct
ed in all the ways to practice econ !
omy. They will be told how to get
the most good out of the gas they pay
for and so to prolong the service. In /
perfection of consumption will be real +
lied not only the greatest comfort and /
benefit from this wonderful natural |
product but insurance against discon-I
tlnuance of service. Cincinnati En-
quirer.

Head of The Legion
Grandson of Former
Kentucky Governor

Alvin Mansfield Owsley, Texan who
was elected national commander of
the American Legion in New Orleans
last week, is a grandson of William
Owsley, who served as Governor of
Kentucky from 1874 10 1913, and Ken
tuckians were directly responsible for
his elevation to the highest rank in the
Legion, according TO delegates who
have returned from the convention.
The news is. that Louisville already
has been pledged the support of a
dozen or more States in the event the
city seeks the 1925 convention of Lee
gionnaires. ..
Kentucky advocated his election be-
cause he was recognized as the biggest
man in the American Legion today
and because of his intimate connection
with this State. The new Legion com
.rauder is related to Senator A. O.
Stanley, to Owsley Brown, DR.. Owsley
Grant and many other Kentucky peu-
pie.
The new Legion commander served
as a Major and later as a Lieutenant
Colonel during the war He took part
in two offensiVes with the Thirty
sixth Division. He was born in Texas
in 1855 was formerly Assistant At
-0ruey General Of that State and now
lives in Denton. He is unmarried and
a Democrat.
The Kentucky delegation, number
ing 400, was conspicuous among the
10000 LeEionna!res attending the con-
vention. One Of the brightest features
was an odd Kentucky Home" dinner
when l49 Kentuckians had a get-to-
sether. ........ ,... 80.

Ehile Louisville had never been able

would be a different story" in 1925, 8.

ST. LOUIS MARVEL
THREATENS RUTH'S
BATTING LAURELS
Williams Pounds Out Six HON.
erS in Four Consecutive
Games.
By GEORGE CHADWICK
Special Correspondent of Great Falls Tribune

Copyright. 1922. by The Great Falls Tribune
New York. April 29.-kenneth Will
Hams of the st. Louis Browns is a
growing hitter. Growing hitters develop
a slugger and a hitter in baseball is
the difference between a steam whistle
and a fog siren. The whistle makes a
noise that carries all over town when
it is time to knock off work and eat.
OF the sluggers of baseball in these
days there are. Ruth and Fred Will
liams of the Phillies. In other days
there were, Brouthers, Sam Thompson,
Delehanty-Ed Delehanty. not the
younger Dels-Pete Browning. Arson,
who would have been more of a slug
ger ii he had been able So run faster
than a wooden-legged horse: Ewing.
Stivetts and others whose names might
be cited.
Ty Cobb an Artist
Willie Keller. who was one OF the
best batters in the history of baseball,
could not be called a slugger. nor can
Tv Cobb. with all of his super-batting,
be so termed. He is an artist. SO
was Keller. Their batting is the top
hole batting of the skilled athlete to
whom the wooden stick which be yields
is but the ~prolongation of his arms
and which he handles with such dex-
teritv that it seems to be part of him.
Iris Speaker is a near slugger. He
can hit two baggers more often than
any player in durance, but he does not
seem to be able to hit home runs and
triples with any prodigality.
Hits Three in One Game
Williams of st. Louis may become
the Babe Ruth. Jr.. of the baseball
leagues, for he has done what no other
player in the American league ever
has lone except Ruth. Also he has
done something that Ruth hasn't done.
He has hit three home runs in one
game. He did this April %. against
the pitchers of the Chicago American
club.
Having batted three home runs in
one day, Williams took up the task
and batted another on the next day.
April %. That gave him four home
runs in two successive days. That
feat tied Ruth's record. made in 1921!
On the third day. April "A. Williams
.atted another home run. That gave
him five in succession in three CON
secutive games and that also tied
Ruth's record Of 1921. On the fourth
day. April %. Williams batted another
home run and that tied Ruth again
for a similar feat. Will Williams equal
the record that Ruth had made in
other respects? Can he bat as many
home runs in a season as Ruth has
and will he be the batter who
this year will surpass Ruth? Who
knows. except perhaps ouija board?
And it won't do to bank too heavily
on that,
