CANDIDATES.
STATEMENT

/ wish to state to the voters OF
Benton county my reason for com.
ing out as a candidate for State
Representative. / enjoy the honor
and appreciate the responsibility
of legislative work. However, that
isn't sufficient reason to cause NE
to enter the dirtiest political fight
that has ever been staged in this
state. Into this fight has come
questionable methods, political
jealousies. bitterness and hatred.
Our representative has entered
into this squabble without reserve,
without proper regard to the dig
nifty Of his office and the interest
of his constituents. The fight which
he put up in the legislature is
ended and he is now coming before
his constituents, seeking vindica-
ton of his record, justification of
his conduct, in that fight. The re-
publicans of Benton county must
Judge that record, must express
approval or disapproval of his con-
duct.
I have hesitated about entering
this fight as candidate because
of my reluctance to bare such an
abortive record. His conduct has
brought humiliation and reproach
to the good citizens of Benton
county. Such language as menace,
blockhead and liar" used in speak
ing of the chief executive of a
great state is inexcusable and has
never been endorsed by any group
of intelligent and self-respecting
American citizens.
In the name of Republicanism,
in the behalf of decent citizenship,
I declare the conduct of our legis-,
lator to have been discourteous,
Intentionally and un-American.
That his record shows an utter
disregard of the merits of import
ant questions coming before him
for consideration, his conduct con-
trolled by jealousy, bitterness and
hatred. completely renders him I'M
fit as legislator.
AS a citizen of Benton county,
I resent and regard as desplcaDle,
anv effort on his part to transmit
to his neighbors and friends this
feverish mania which has burned
up his political soul:
It will be your privilege to hear
both sides of this case and your
duty to decide in a manner pecom-
ing to intelligent and patriotic
citizens.
At later date will announce
dates in every voting
precinct in Benton county.
Respectfully submitted

STATE FORCES
LOW INTEREST
Washington Coin Always
A Protection from
High Rates

The state with its big perma-
nent funds constantly seeking in
vestment no longer is fighting to
get its money out at the best pos
sible interest rates but again has
assumed the role it once PLAYED
of protecting the smaller districts
of Washington against exorbitant-
~ high interest charges. In the
early days of the states perma-
nent fund investments, that was
the big feature of state money that
appealed to towns and districts
which could not attract bidders
who had cheap money of their
own. IS
For several years, or during the
period of high income taxes, mon
eyed men struggled to find tax
exempt securities and bond houses
gave the state fierce competition
for all securities offered. Then
the state treasurer had to fight to
keep the permanent funds invested.
Treasurer w. G. Potts forsaw
the effect of the new income tax
law on people of large means and
predicted that the demand for tax
exempt securities would diminish
as it became possible to obtain
better returns from investments in
industries. That is the way it
worked out. Now has developed a
situation where many small dis
tricts with small bond issues for
sale cannot get cheap money from
private investors. But for the
states policy of quoting a fair
interest rate these districts would
pay big price for loans. The con-
slant threat of state competition
keeps down interest rates and the
state funds are picking up all the |
investments needed.
