Mr.. Pierce's Record
/. OF the ss,37s,Q 900 Of state taxes for 1925,
Mr.. Pierce specifically approved Of ss,5s4,o3s.
This is 90 per cent OF the total. MIR. Pierce had
no opportunity to vote on the other 8 per cent,
as he was not a member of the legislature when
it was up tor vote,
z. He voted for 81 per cent OF all tax appro-
priaton bills Of the 1919 session Of the legisla-
ture, and for all the appropriation bills OF the
special session Of 1920.
3. The State Highway Commission now
works without pay. MIR. Pierce introduced a bill
to pay the commissioners STAG 0 a year.
L. He voted to submit a bond issue Of $780,
900 for a new penitendsry. Governor Olcott
has repaired the old one with convict labor at no
tax expense.
S. Mr.. Pierce claims he wishes to relieve
real estate OF the tax burden; yet he is the
author Of a bill submitted to the legislature
which would exempt from all taxation moneys,
notes, CT edits and accounts.
6. In the last few years hs voted for 1876 sal
AIRY increases.
7. He voted against the bills to consolidate
the state bureaus and commissions
.. he introduced a Dill providing for the
most elaborate commission any state ever had.
He specifically provided to secure every citizen
Of Oregon an opportunity at all times to work
for the stste,' and provided a 5000 salary tor
the head Of the commission This bill was
purely Socialistie.
3. In the 1917, 1918 and 1920 sessions OF the
legislature there were appropriation bills intro
duced totaling S1o,552, 900. OF these Senator
Pierce voted for Sl0,075,o0o.
Measured by every standard, Mr.. Pierce is
the most consistent little tax booster the state
OF Oregon sver had.

KEEP WHITE AND BLUE IN OUR FLAG.

Our people with a generosity unmatched In history
opened her doors to all peoples.
1t is known to our Department of State that some
European countries have used US, as England once used
Australia-a dumping ground for insists. Some of these
undesirables responded TO the better opportunity and
righted themselves. Others have filled our Jails and
given our courts much work.
The spawn Of generations Of oppression, they have
only suspicion Of and destruction for any established
order. Their passion is to destroy. They hoist the red
flag of anarchy in place of the banner we venerate and
that welcomed them. They early seek the franchise
With guileless generosity We give it to them.
The Reds and the Radicals and the bolshevlk-
minded had one Of their typical conventions In central
Europe this summer. But they were not content to
stop with Central Europe. Theirs is an organized sys-
TEN of propaganda and PRONUNCIATION.
An American tourist met one of the American stud
emit delegates to this convention on an Austrial railway
train. The boy boosted ii the quota of REDS he was
to bring into America in September to enter a great
American college. He was one of the many CHOSEN TO
bring the flaming embers Of Europe's discomfort to IN
oeulste no less than two hundred American colleges.
There are some things more precious than precious
stones. As precious a thing as biesses the world tooas
is our American ideal of democracy. Imperfect as Is
our demonstration Of it, the ideal is fawless, 1t Is not
for US to leave that ideal u~nguarded by the roadside Tor
any malcontent to malign or injure.
When we End anarchists and experimentahsts using
our institutions of culture to spread thelr uhgrateiui
doctrine it is time for US to act.
Regents and trustees, visitors and overseers, pro-
fessors and college presidents should be mindful Of the
work that is going on silently and surreptitiousiy in our
college halls to undermin the foundations that uphold
our fagstafs,

A. The campaign draws to a close. it wakes warm.
j. will soon an be over but the shouting, as the voters
will 20 to the polls on next Tuesday and decide the is
sues and settle all questions for the time being. The
fight on governor appears to stand out as the most i'm
portant, and it is not safe to make a guess at this time
as to who will be the winner, though it looks now like
0icott. as his stock has been on the ascendant during
the closing weeks Of the campaign. Mr. Pierce, how
ever. has strong endorsement from various organiza-
tions carrying a large vote and his appeal 10 the average
citizen in behalf Of relief from tax burdens has been
one hard to overcome. regardless Of the record he has
made as the chief author Of the burdens he would now
pledge himself to lift. The campaign Of education con-
corning the Pierce policies is bearing fruit and while it
is conceded that the race viii be a tight one, Mr.. oleott,
against whose record as a public official there is no
breath Of scandal, and who has to his credit a splendid
record Of business accomplishment as chief executive of
the state, will success himself.
Next to the guberuatorial race. comes the school
bill, and in the minds Of many this is the most import
ant issue to be settled There has been more time and
money spent for and against this measure, perhaps,
han all others on the ballot combined, and there seems
to be a general expression that the bill will be voted
down In many sections Of the state the fight has been
very bitter, and it would seem that animosites have been
aroused that it will take some time to heal 1t is always
so when matters Of this nature come up, but as we view
it, the question will have to be settled, and it may take
more than enc election to do it. In this county the
fight has progressed quietly and without bitterness and
our people will doubtless accept the result on Tuesday
with that ealmness Characteristic Of a people always
ready to abide by the decision Of the majority.
We hope to see a large vote the county over. The
people should take a keen interest in candidates and
measures, turn out to the polls and vote, thus demon
strating their patriotism and exercising their full rights
Of citizenship.

WALTERS NON-PARTISANSHIP.

Though we have seen little mentioned of it recently
we think attention should be called to the fact that it
was only a short time ago that Walter Pierce, present
candidate for governor, was flirting with the
non-partisan league. 1t then seemed probable that the
league was going to invade Oregon. Apparently Mr.,
Pierce saw in it a chance to gain support for his politl-
cal ambitions. However, it gained no foothold here and
he was disappointed.
The fact that the league made no Roadway in Ore
gon does not mean that so far as it is concerned a voter
NAV favor Mr.. Pierce. 1t is true that the league is not
here, but Mr.. Pierce has once shown himself as friendly
to its doctrines and may reasonably be expected, if elect
cd tn try to advance some of its socialistic and bolshe-
vistie ideas.
We do not want a non-partisan Lacquer, not yet a
sympathizer with the league, as governor of Oregon

Candidates for Governor

When a candidate for public office makes a campaign promising what he will do if
elected, tits fitting and proper that the voter examine the public records to ascertain
whether or not the candidates record squares with his campaign promises. In the pres
mt campaign Candidate Pierce processes to be the apostle of lower axes.

Iusr ANorHER BUSINESS HANpIcAp.

The Dennison blue sky bill before Congress would
close the mails, telegraph and express facilities to any
man offering any security in an industrial undertaking.
not passed by the "blue-sky" law.
In other words, a man from California, Utah or
Washington seeking capital in Iowa for developing a
western enterprise could not use the mails to sell his
stock in Iowa because his corporation had not been IL
censed to do business by an Iowa blue-sky commission.
Our federal laws covering fraudulent use of the
mails, our state laws covering the organization OF cor
poratens and our state blue-sky laws offer every safe
guard necessary to prevent the public being swindled.
In the face of such protection it is unealled-for med
ding with business enterprise to further handicap the
man seeking to develop natures resources with laws
which would require so much legal advice and expense
that it would discourage the average man from under
taking the task-The Manufacturer.

junketing trips by state officials at state expense.
g. He secured the passage Of a budget law

plished.
z. The change in the State Sessions Law,

the excellence Of his official appointments.

ported the bonus measure, and has administered
the law in the interest of the ex-service men
with honesty and efficiency.
II. He has taken the first real constructive
step In the equalization Of the state tax situation
by the appointment Of a committee Of experts
to investigate and report to the legislature the
entire scope Of the tax problem in this state,
thus assuring that any changes to be made will
be made along sane, conservative and ~construc-
i've lines, which give far more promise of secur-

H. ]. Taylor, of Pendleton, a delightful old-timer, is
making a strong run as democratic nominee for the state
senate against Senator Colon R, Eberhard of LaGrande,
republican nominee in the joint Morrow-Um atilla-U Union
counties district. The democrats could not have picked
a more popular man. Taylor has an excellent record in
every way. 1t is doubtful, however, whether if elected
he could exercise a tenth part of the influence that Sem
ator Eberhard could. The latter in his first term dem
~onstrated abilities that won him recognition and lead
ership, He procured the enactment of several measures
of a constructive nature, and was one of the principal
supporters of pretty much all the best legislation enact
ed during his term, He demonstrated the faculty for
~grasping the real meaning and probable effect of legis-
lation introduced, and he certainly knew how to make
his points clear in debate. He was one of the few mem
bers who could influence votes by what he said on the
floor, his influence being due to the clearness of his dis
cussions and the sound and sensible views he PROFOUND
ed. In committee his service was invaluable. He in
vestigated to get at the facts and made it his business
to know what he was talking about. No matter how
amiable and personally admirable his opponent would
prove to be, he could not begin to make himself as eff
fective as Eberhard has proven to be.-oregon Voter,
