Supreme Court Rules on The Dalles Debt Problem
SALEM, July 9.—(UP)—The city of The Dalles cannot exceed its debt limitations provided by state statute by guaranteeing interest on a proposed $650,000 toll bridge bond issue, the supreme court ruled late Friday.
The opinion reversed the decree of Judge Fred Wilson of the Wasco county court denying an injunction against the bonds to J.T. Rorick, a taxpayer. Judge Wilson’s ruling pointed out that a contingent liability did not become a debt until it was actually due. Justice Rand wrote the dissenting opinion.

James W. Mott
James W. Mott, candidate for the republican nomination for congress, is one of the outstanding figures in the public life of Oregon—a man with an established record of constructive leadership and accomplishment.
As Corporation Commissioner
As present Corporation Commissioner in the administration of Governor Meier, Mr. Mott has during the past twelve months performed the herculean job of ridding the state of financial racketeering. He has to date convicted every financial outlaw he has prosecuted, has restored the building and loan business of the state to a sound condition and has saved millions of dollars to the investors of Oregon.

Walling who has served the county for the past two years as superintendent of public instruction, and who this fal [sic] was re-elected to that office. He has been engaged in the butchering business at Nampa.

When Will We Get a Copy of the Laws?
We have been compelled to answer the above inquiry by letter, in order to accommodate, in response to letters from all parts of the State; and now being tired of answering a question that should have been satisfactorily settled by other parties long ago, we propose to state here one for all what we know about it.
The Politics of Printing, Part 9
Penny Walling, finding no man to vote for him, “withdraws” from the contest for printer. In doing so, he says his candidacy has had the effect of causing many more farmers to be put on the Legislative tickets. None but a two cent demagogue would attempt to excite class jealousies of this character. We don’t suppose the matter has been thought of by a nominating convention in the State, or a single member of one; and we doubt if there are any more or less farmers running for the legislature than there has been in former years. The attempt to excite that kind of suspicion and jealousy is contemptible and will be scorned by the farmers. Not five of them would have voted for him if he had remained in the field, and the discovery of this fact is what drove him out. His championship of the “farmers” is transparent. All he cares for them is to make money out of them with his paper, and the only result of his being a candidate has been to advertise his secession sympathies and expose his instinctive.

The Politics of Printing, Part 8
We see by advertisements in some of the Northern papers that this gentleman is an independent candidate for State Printer. He says he is a Union man. If this be true, we are astounded that he did not submit his claims to the convention at Eugene. Union men were pretty well represented there, and Mr. Walling has no excuse for not presenting his claims. That farmers are entitled to a voice in the government they build up in connection with others, is to us a self evident proposition; but why a printer who works upon a paper devoted to agricultural subjects is any more entitled to the office than any other printer, we can’t see.
The Politics of Printing, Part 7
Walling confesses to having voted for the traitor Breckinridge, but avers he is Union now. (All secession sympathizers declare that they are Union men.) If he is, why is he running to draw off votes from a Union candidate that a secessionist may be elected. He knows that a vote for his is a vote for the secessionist candidate.

The Politics of Printing, Part 6
A Portland correspondent says “Little Walling talks about men being influenced by the dollar. He is not the man to throw that class of stones. Any who have had deal with him will testify that a more picayunish man never lived than Walling. A sixpence never leaves his grasp without being pinched till it is as thin as a shad scale.”
