MoHENRY. ILLINOIS. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1922 NO. 36 COPLEY A CANDIDAtE Official Announcement to Voters of District Washington, D. C., February 9. Congressman Ira C. Copley of Aurora today announced his candidacy for renomi nation for congTess from the eleventh Illinois congressional district at the primaries of April 11. His petitions will be filed at Springfield tomorrow. Congressman Copley is now serving his- sixth term in congress. He is fifth ranking member of the important ways and means committee of the house, which has most to dc> with shaping the industrial policy designed to restore the nation to prosperity. '•: v Record His Platform r "My record in congress will be the dnly platform that I will submit to the voters of my district," Colonel Copley said. "In the ten years or more that I have been in congress the nation has passed thru a period that* I believe has been as eventful and' important in matter of legislation adopted as any that this great nation has seen. I am sure that the public record of my votes in that body will furnish a more adequate statement 'of~'my policies as a member of congress than any platform that might now be devised." Since his last election in the fall of 1920, Congressman /Copley, as a member of the ways and means committee, has devoted most of his efforts to the work of that committee. During this time he has seen the pledges that he gave redeemed and the policies that he advanced recognized in legislation. The repeal of the excess profits tax, for which he fought sincje the adoption of the measure by a Democratic congress, has been^ accomplished. Congressman Copley made it plain that it was under this tax that profits were pyramided for the ultimate consumer to pay. In addition to his work in the framing of the Fordney tariff bill, passed by the house and now pending in the senate, the congressman was delegated by Chairman Fordney as one of the leaders iri^the defense of-v the American valuation feature on the floor of the house. The house enacted these provisions and despite a highly organized opposition it now appears that the senate will accept them as well. By the American valuation plan, the duty is based on the cpst of making the article in America and American labor is protected from a flood of goods made by cheaply paid foreign labor whose countries' money is far below par. Works on Soldier Relief Bill , At the present time as he is abbttt to enter the congressional lists, Congressman Copley is working with his committee on the soldiers' adjusted compensation bill. In the preceding congress he framed two of the most important features of this bill, the home aid section and that providing for the adjusted savings certificates. Both will be incorporated in the present bill. The latter plan developed by the Aurora congressman has been heartily indorsed by the service men's organization and American economists alike. Officials, of the Legion stated, at the hearings of last week, that in their opinion at least half of the service men would elect this feature of the bill. It is the most liberal adjustment provided. "The soldiers', adjusted compensation bill will be passed by the pres- / ent congress," Congressman Copley said. "Of this I feel sure. The American people cannot, in view of their constitution, granting to all an equal opportunity, afford to longer»deny restitution to the men whom they called to the colors during the war. The ways and means committee will shortly Report the bill to the house and Fam confident of its early passage. The provisions of the bill will be substantially those *of the bill parsed by the house . in 1920. Our aim is to refund to the service man an * amount that would about equal the amount that he might have saved had he not been under arms. It is not in any sense a bonus or a gratuity. It is simply a payment of a debt of justice on the part of the American people." Personal Service Constant Less in the public eye, perhaps, but of at least even importance in his work for the service men has been tiie care of Congressman Copley for the wounded and disabled veterans in his district. Literally thousands of ' them have sought his aid since their discharge and in every case he has Responded to the fullest of his efforts that no soldier might suffer. 4 In two instances he has worked successfully on cases without precedent in the veterans' bureau, those of Capt. W. B. Smith and Lieufe W. H. DeGaris of Elgin. In each case restitution amounting to thousands of dollars was made to the man in what appeared to be a most just, but all hut imfpossible claim. ' ' By his experience and seniority Congressman Copley has come to be regarded as a leader in the house of representatives and as an authority on revenue and economic legislation and thruout his district his constituents know that in him they always have "a friend at count." 1 v--- Auction Sale! €0.

BARNES CANDIDATE - JOR RENOMINATION On His Record As a Prtoartoe Tuesday, A#fd 11. 1923 A. M. Shelton, president of the Illinois educational commission and county superintendent of\ schools of McHenry county, annou/iced today his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the state superintendent of public instruction. In his platform of efficiency and economy, to the taxpayers, he says: "Illinois should be returned from 24th rank in education, which she now occupies, to her rightful place of first position among American commonwealths. "To educate our boys and girls should not be a financial hardship or a supreme task to the great state of Illinois. - School. taxation should never be a burden to the people of our' stat£. "My opportunity to know the educational situation thruout Illinois has convinced me of the need of a positive, continuous and vigorous state school policy, -to effect economics without decreasing efficiency or the penalization of those loyal men and women who are giving their lives under trying conditions to the education of our youth, by introducing into our school affairs sound and approved business practices. "Wasteful duplication and overlappings should be prevented by coordinating the various state educational units now frequently working at cross purposes. "Unequal school taxation and unequal school opportunities have no rightful place in our scheme of education. Their lodgment there is but evidence of lack of systematic direc tion and business organization. "Costly school litigation should be reduced by eliminating unnecessary legislation and by simplifying existing school laws. "A wider use of our normal schools should be made and greater stress should be placed Upon the importance of the first eight grades in eur elementary schools--the basis of Our democracy. ' "I believe that public officials who accept the people's pay and spend the people's money should render the same efficient and economic service to the people as they would to any private or personal business." Mr. Shelton was born near Springfield. He is now serving his third terjfi as county superintendent of McHenry county and for eight years was city superintendent of Crystal Lake, where he now resides. He received his normal school training at Carbondale and was graduated from the University of Illinois in 1903.
