GOVERNOR OLCOTT
TO TAKE ACTIVE
PART IN CAMPAIGN

Portland-When the republican
county central committee convened
Monday night at library hail. it enter
tanned certain eminent members o.
| the party-and they in turn enter,
tanned it, by addresses replete with
admonitions to support the party anu
its principles, and predictions of
sweeping success at the November
election. The enunciation of such
views never failed to elicit genuine
storms of applause, but the appear
Iance of Governor Olcott brought the
committee members and casual spec
tators to their feet in tribute.
Governor Olcott did not babe a
political speech. In rather diffident,
humorous manner he greeted them
as friends, deplored the fact that he
had ben so busted with executive
duties that his participation in the
campaign, up to the present, had
been negligible, but assured al
within hearing that he was watch
Gus and high-spirited progress OF
andidate Gump, the 100 per cent
American whose boast is that he is
collarless. Then the governor, pre-,
facing the significant statement by
a plea that in a moment he must
catch a train TO rSalem, said that
henceforth folk would know that he
was In the lists.
From. this time on" Governor
Olcott pledged himself, 81 am going
to take an active part in the cam
paign-to the end, that success may
attend the republican ticket in No
Ivember.-Oregonian.

CANDIDATES
TO RUN FOR MAYOR
AND CITY COUNCIL
One Place Where You Will Like
ly Have No Opposition; Pres
ent "City Dads" Not Overly
Anxious to Keep Positions.

In a short interview with our Hon.
orable Mayor, w. E. Ball, this after.
noon, we asked him whether he was
candida'e to succeed himself in Of
flee at the city election next month
Tell them for me-" the mayor i'm
mediately responded, "thGt | will not
consider another term as mayor of To
ledo and that some one else must be
chosen in my place. Not that | wish
to shirk duty, but I haven't the time
to spare that the office of mayor re-
quires and, anyway, I feel that l have
done my bit"
After the mayors explosion we
thought it good idea to get in touch
with the members of the council and
see If any of these honorable gentle.
men would consider having their
names placed upon the ballot for re-
election. We were only successful in
coming into contact with but one O,
them. This gentleman was Mr. Tom
Hawkins. We approached him rather
cautiously and timidly propounded the
question. Absolutely nothing doing"
was his only answer, and we did not
see fit to question him further.
Now that the city is undergoing sew.
eral changes in the way of improve
ments and that the present admins
Itration is thoroughly familiar with
conditions as they exist 1t would seem
wise to continue it in office, from
the mayor to city marshall, and every
possible pressure should be brought
to bear to induce them to allow their
names to be placed upon the ballot.
The personnel of the present ad-
ministration is as follows: w. E. Ball,
mayor; Tom Hawkins, Elmer Horning
Guy Roberts, Harry Lutey, VIM. Gra-
ham and N. M. Sherwood, council.
men; g. B. 'McCluskey, attorney; r.

engineer and John Derrick, marshal.

COUNTY COURT WILL
APPOINT SUCCESSOR
TO JOHN f. COOTER
Need of County Agent to Aid
Farmers and Dairymen Found
to Be Necessary; Four to One
Favor Continuing Office.

The county court neld special
session Wednesday morning and took
under advisement the necess ty of ap.
pointing man to take the place of
J. e. Cooter, who recently resigned
as county agent Of Lincoln coun.y.
Considerable pressure has been
brought 70 bear on the court to ap.
point successor to Mr.. Uooier. out
II was not known definitely by the
members of the court whether or not
the expenditure for the agents office
could be done away with at this time.
The court found. however after
hearing from different parts of the
county that the farmers are very
strongly in favor of an agent being
appointed, 1t appearing that four Of
every five farmers feel the need OF
expert advice from the office. The
Information gained by the court also
gave proof that Mr.. Cooter has accom-.
plished great results in the time that
he has had charge of the Office in es.
tablishins better dairy cattle in the
county, in organizing purebred .Tnr
sey calf clubs and in giving needed
expert advice in the raising Of crops,
selection of seed and general informa,
tion.
( W. l.. Kadderly. assistant county
agent leader Of the Oregon Agricu.
tural College was present at the meet
ing and in short talk gave many
reasons why Lincoln county should
have county agent.
Some half dozen applications for
the position are in the hands of The
court and from these the most likely
man will be selected.

FORD IS WORLDS
RICHEST man BY
A WIDE MARGIN
Wall Street Doffs Its Hat to
Michigan Farmer Boy and
Grows Dizzy Coming His
Huge Fortune.
Special to The eLader.
BY Robert Fuller.


New York, Oct. 8-Wa.l Street, the
money mart of the world, has doffed
its hat to Henry Ford and admits that
he is now the richest man in the
world
The farmer boy of Dearborn, Mich,
but now the worlds greatest automo-
bile builder is credited with s1S0,O00,-
900 cash on hand and an estimated an
nual income, which for 1922 will total
$125,000, 900 before taxes are deducted
or 100000 clear
With earnings WIN ch average about
800 a car, Henry Ford's company
could be capitalized at s2,000,000, 900
and pay per cent on the money.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
about the Ford fortune, to the owners
of his now famous car, Is the import
ance of the replacement part sales
Wall Street says profit of $15,OOO,0CO
is made from this source to keep the
Millions of cars now on the roads In
running condition.
Ford's taxes in 1921 were s50,000,
900. This year, with the excess
profit tax, abolished, he will pay only
$16,OO0,000 of his s125,000.000 income
Wall Street shakes a sad head when
such news is passed out for consump
ton, and admits that the former
Michigan farm boy has won his own
game and is Wall Street unto MIN
self.
Wall Street itself pays Ford 81,
100000 annually in interest at 4 pei
cent on his millions which flow
through there on loars.
These figures were furnished Wall
Street in a ticker statement this
week.

CLAIMS
CHILDREN ABUSED
BY SCHOOL SYSTEM
In Supporting County Unit Plan
Instructor Attempts to Lay
Blame for "DepIorabIe" Con-
ditions on School Boards.

Editors Note-The following article
coming from the pen of G. Frank
Glasei, teacher in one Of the Lowv:

cause we agree with all of the state
ments contained therein. We are p,u
ponents of the County Unit plan be-
cause of the fact that from what we
can learn 1t Is solution through
which our entire school system can be
brought to an equalized basis Of eff

exist in the outlaying country dis.
tricts. We have not attempted to ex.
plain the workings of the County Unit
Plan, but Superintendent Shave has
written an article that appears in an
other column of this issue, that will
give the voter some idea of what the
law Is.
Mr.. Glaser's statements are no
doubt true in regards to lack of equip
ment in the schools he mentions, but,
we wonder, II the school boards which
he seems to have a grudge against
are entirely responsible. School boards
can only 60 so far in their activities
in making their districts what they
should be. In our experience we have
noticed that being on the school board
is one of the biggest "thankless" jobs
that any man can hope to acquire and
especially so in a community where
the district is in hard financial
straits.
Mr.. Glaser's plea for the education
of the children is righteous one but
the spirit of animosity that seems to
maintain In his district will get them
nowhere and 1t seems probable that
the voters will flock to the support
Of the new plan in hopes Of getting
relief from such conditions.

the school at Taft is not finished

school district has recently erected
a new building and has expended

FOR THE HORSE

Editor National Leader. What's
best, tractor or work horse, I think
is very good subject to discuss. =
The horse has stood the test. We
can not get along without him. The
horse industry has been a great thing
for the farmer. I remember when I
was boy back in Minnesota, we could
always sell a good work horse at
fair price.
The farmers are paying out millions
of dollars for tractors, oil, ETC., build
ing up new and more corporations
and at the same time killing one of
their own main industries. :. .
