PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 7.—Port- land Is to be given a winning baseball team and “put back where it belongs as the best baseball city in the Pacific Coast league.” William H. Klepper, the new owner of the local club, de- clared after announcing his purchase of the team recently. , Klepper and his associate, James R. Brewster, both of Seattle, hope to make coast leage baseball here a com- munity proposition. About forty Port- land business nm Will be interested in the club it is planned. Community ownership put Seattle on the baseball map, they say, and the same thing can and will be done here. “My first efforts will be to line up eight or ten first class players for the Portland club,” Klepper said. “I fig- ure that the club must be reinforced with at least eight players of Class AA calibre to become a pennant contender. and I promise that the team we put into the league will be up there fight- ing all season. Portland hag two pitchers, Pillette and Johnson, who arc. wanted by several major league clubs. utrigh'| Klepper said that one of his life's ambitions pas been to own’ the Port- land baseball club. For two years he has been president of the Seattle base- ball organization. Klepper formerly lived in Salem, Portland and La Grande. Sale of the Portland club will mark the passing from coast league base- ball, for the present at least, of Judge} +, ‘McCredie, Ww. WwW. president, and .his nephew, Walter McCredie, manager of the team. The McCredies have owned the Beavers since 1905. They, received $150,000 for the team. Under the ownership of the McCre- dies Portland has had good and bad baseball. In 1906 they assembled what league They won the pennant tbat year and also took the championship in 1910, 1911, 1918 apd 1914. Since 1914 the team has ended in second division, this year and Jest being tail-enders. Ten Consecutive Goals Kicked by Illinois Player Saturday.

BE Like Any Other Citizen, the Labor- ing Man Is Able to Make Up His Own Mind and Act Accordingly. « A few days ago the Morning Moan was casting insidious refleo- tions on the intelligence and in- tegrity of the voters of Casper by insinuating that the ‘worst ele- ment’ was supporting Bob Veitch. This boomerang was i:urled in an attempt to stampede the voters, but as we predicted, it failed of its purpose, or more accurately, it started a stampede to the Veitch camp instead. Realizing the error, and driven to desperation, the next move was 2 step in the same direction, and will cinch the election of the Veitch ticket, This was the veiled “threat” yesterday morning, that employes who failed or refused to support Giblin and his ticket might expect to lose their jobs. Only the press of desperation could elicit such rot even from such a source, but it demonstrates the ex- tremity they have reached. This is old stuff, long obsolete, and only attempted by ameteur politicians who still hold the idea that labor, “like the dumb and @riven beast,” can be coerced into doing the bidding of the empley- ers. Laboring men, both organized and unorganized, it the bulwark of the Citizenship. of Cas- per. They are intelligent and in- dependent. They represent the great majority of home owners in Casper, and are just as much in- terested in the welfare of the city as the min who handles the pay- roll. They are thinkers and ob- servers. They will make up their own minds how they want to vote . And they will not be frightened by threats or coercion attempted at the eleventh hour. THE AMERICAN TICKET. For Mayor— Robert J. Veitch. Councilman, Ward 1— John J. Hancock. Ward 2— Henry C. Posey. Councilman, Ward 3— Robert E, McElveney. “Let's elect clean men to office,” says Asphalt Quinn. All right!

A COMPARISON BETWEEN City Taxes Have Shown a Steady Increase, While County Taxes Have Been Reduced Every ‘Year. * Put on your shock absorbers and Prepare for a jolt. . We're going to give you a few facts concerning your city gov- ernment which the average citizen has either overlooked or has not taken the time to find out. Would you believe it if we told you that the cost of operating the government of the city of Casper has INCREASED almost $150,- 000 in the last two years? It's a fact nevertheless. In 1919 the cost of operating the government of the city of Casper Was $152,025.31. In 1920 it was $202,015, which represents an increase of $49,989.- 69 oVer the previous year. In the year 1921 the city budget was $301,100, an increase of $99,- 085 over the previous .year, or an increase of $149,074.69 from 1919 to~1921, Also, notwithstanding the fact that the taxable valuation of the city increased abeut 2% million from 1920 to 1921, the tax levy also made am increase. In 1920 the tax levy for city purposes was 9.06. In 1921 it increased to 12.1, representing an increase of almost 3 mills. This tax/levy is for the general operating expenses of the city gqv- ernment. It does not include your paving assessments, your grading districts, your various bond issues for various things. It is the. city overhead, to make it plain. Of course, you agree with us that a chango should be made in the management of the city’s af- fairs. Now, let us take. a squint at the management of the county’s bus!- ness. In 1918 the tax levy for general county purposes was 4.14. In 1919 the levy was 4.10. In 1920 it was 42. In 1921 it is 4.00: Note the decrease in your coun- ty taxes from year to year. Also note the increased effi- ciency in handling county busi- ness. Is there any money wasted? Robt. J. Veitch, the American party candidate Yor Mayor, has been a member of the Board of County Commissioners fqr the past three years. He has wer! in the people's interests.
