'Langlie to Make
His Income Public

sEATTIE-Arthur Langlie, the
Republican candidate for governor,
Friday challenged his opponent,
c. C. Din. to 60 along with him
in setting a new political prece-
dent" by making public the in
come tax returns each has filed
with the federal bureau Of in
ternal revenue in recent years.
Langlie added that regardless
Of whether Dill accepts the chal-
lenge. the Republican candidates.
tax returns would be made public
as soon as they can be obtained
from the offices Of the bureau OF
internal revenue. He said this
would be within a day or so.
II believe that In the In
terests Of building up public
confidence In their officials
and the candidates before
them, the people are entitled
to full information on the
incomes" LAnglIe declared.
Il have given written authority
to the bureau Of internal revenue
to make them public and / shall
see that they are distributed
widely.
Il hope Mr.. Dill sees fit TO do
likewise.
Langlie returned to Seattle FRI
day from Spokane. Saturday he
will visit Port Townsend, Port
Angeles and other communities In
that vicinity.
