Keep tha Court out of Politico The word which Aaaoclate Justice Charlea K. Hughca aald the other day when naked If ha would accept the candidacy at Chicago If the conven tion ahould offer It to him wae over looked In the hurly-burly of the mo ment, but It ahould not be forgotten. That No la likely to have more Influ ence on the relatione between the Ju diciary and the parties in the future than waa reallied at the time. Aa a compromise candidate who would unite the Roosevelt and the Taft ele ments of their party. Justice Hughes bad attractions. Men in both fac tiona naturally turned to him when the conflict between the two big aspir ants aeemed to be entering the Irre Dressible stage, Aa a former leader of a party which had elected him twice in succession to the governor ship of the greateat of the atatea, and also aa a man who received many votea for the presidential candidacy while holding !the governorship. Jus tice Hughes would naturally be will ing to make some personal sacrifices to bring peace to hla party. But in refusing in 1913 to accent a nomination under any circumstances Justice Hugbea took the higher and better course. He determined. In his own case, to keep the Supreme Court out of politics. The constitution fram ' era made the legislative, the execu tive and the Judicial departments of the government independent of each other, and this particular member of the last named division of the govern ment has refused to countenance any act which would diminish the popular confidence in the independence and sincerity of his guild. Many members of the Supreme Court Benjamin R. Curtis, David Da via, Samuel F. Miller, Stephen J. Field, John M. Harlan asd other were often mentioned In connection with the presidential nomination of one or other of the great parties. In Whig and Republican conventions John McLean figured for many year aa a receptive candidate. This gave their affiliations a partisan aspect, and diminished the public confidence In their independence and sincerity as Jurists. Justice Hughes' little word No will go far toward keeping the er mine free from all taint of partisan and factional bias. The Income Tax Amendment The propostion to give Congress power to enact an Income tax without apportioning It among the state, and without regard to any count of the population, is moving ahead slowly, but it Is moving. Thirty-three legis latures have now ratified it, the latest of these, that of Minnesota, havig acted a few days ago. It must get the support of three additional states before It can become a part of the constitution. Six or seven states are still to act upon It, about half of them being Western states. Out of this number the propostion will probably get enough supporters to put It into effect This has been slow work. The amendment proposition was submitted to the states In the summer of 1909, but lack of interest In the subject de layed action, except In the case of a few states, for over a year. In sev eral Instances one branch of a legis lature has rejected the proposition and later on reconsidered Its course and ratified it In thia way the total In its favor has been mounting slowly but steadily. From present Indica tions enough states will have sanc tioned it by the end of 1913 to place It in the organic law. The Income tax will be the sixteenth amendment to the constitution. Prob ably the proposition to elect United Getting Rich A few get rich quickly, but it is generally done on the installment plan. That meant spending lest than one cams, and increasing the bank balance ttep by step. Many a man has. lost what he accumulated by trying to be Hit own banker. It's bard to accumulate money out of a bank. Open an account here and be on the safe sidei The Bank of Ofcgon City THE OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY States senators by a direct rote of the people of the respective atates will be the seventeenth amendment The Massachusetts legislature ratified the Utter measure a few daya after get ting bold of It. As the Idea is strong In the South and West It Is likely to have a quicker run to enactment than the Income tax Is getting. There Is talk of an attempt to push through an eighteenth amendment, to lengthen the terma of president, and to re strict the service of those officials to a alngle term. Forty-two yeara have passed alnce the latest of the amend ments, the fifteenth, waa put In opera tion, but we overhaul constitutions and atatutea more freely In these rest less times. INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS We are In an era of prosperity such as ha never been before. fceal4 es tate Is at what we all think top val ues still had we dared think of pres ent day prices five year ago we would have been referred to the lun acy commissioner. Five-years hence there is no way of telling the mark, but judging by the past and records In other large cities, w are to see real estate at twice B present selling prices. Oregon City 1 a close to Portland's business center as parts of some "large cities are from their city balls. While we are now pretending to to say that Oregon City will eome day be a part of Portland we do say that the entire dlatrict between Port land and Oregon City on both aidea of the river will be built up and that time la not far hence. Oregon City has an asset of such value that many cities many time the sixe of ours would offer Inducements to secure, and not being able to move the plants the boundary lines are the next ex tensions necessary to gain the desir ed ends. The West Side will no doubt be con nected with Portland by a fast limited electric train service. We all know that means, with this growth, capital and industry will come. We have power for all such aa may want to come to Oregon City. We have natural ad vantages beyond comparison; - trans portation facilities of the highest type everything that Industrial plant must have. But there la one drawback the dangerous agitators that we have always with ns who want the people to honor them by election to the leg islature. The people at the coming Novem ber election have the power In them to continue prosperity, and to send "live wires" to the legislature men who will vote for the people; men who are the friends of the people; men who are honest--upright and alwaya working In the open. THE ELKS OF OUR TOWN Visiting Elks will find that Oregon City 1 well represented in the fra ternity. We have an Elk Mayor- Grant R Dimlck, an Elk Recorder Livy Stipp; an Elk Treasurer M. D. Latourette; an Elk Circuit Judge-I. U. Campbell; an Elk Sheriff E. T. Mass; an Elk County Judge R. B. Beatie; an Elk County Clerk W. L. Mulvey. Elk business men in every line and when we leave this world we can be buried by an Elk undertaker Most of our attorneys are Elks and the doctors are well represented. East ern Eks therefore need not be afraid to move to Orgon City. Their inter ests will be well looked after. The local Elk lodge Is now a little over two years old and has 310 mem ber with at least 20 more In process. 400 is the mark for March 4, 1913 and present indications point favorably to that end. This was all made possible by Port land Lodge No. 142. relinquishing this part of their territory and then insti tuting the offspring. Oregon City can well be proud of Its youngest live fraternal organiza tion and through It much publicity will be gained from the present con vention at Portland. If the member ship of Oregon City Lodge Is an av erage of citlrens In this order, Oregon City would like to keep a few thous and out of the throng now coming to gether at Portland and a few thous and would make no mistake by set tling here. OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY. JULY 12. MALARIA headache, biliousness, In digestion, rheumatism, pimples, blotches, yellow complexion, eta, art all signs of poisons In your blood. These poisons should be driven out, or serious illness may result To get rid ol them, use ir I's Black-Draught' the old, reliable, purely vegetable, liver medicine. Mrs. J. H.

Your druggist sells It, in 23 cent packages. I Insist on ThcdfonTs PACIFIC HIGHWAYS The raclflc Highway Association will meet In Good Road Convention In San Francisco August 7 and Ore gon City ha been asked to aend a delegate. Many will wonder what good Oregon City's representative could do In San Francisco, but they do not know that Oregon City's-sus pension bridge across the Willamette ta advertised not only in ail pans 01 our own land aa one of the beauty spota of the United State but la shown throughout Europe In the great road advertising scheme of the Pacific Coast as a part of the great Pacific Highway. It la to be hoped that some one can be found who can give hia time to this great project, for when we have good roads and a system of them, the rest will come easy. THE MILKY WAY The Swiss-American Milk Products Company, a new corporation, is look lug ier a home. It Incorporator are all experienced dairy men and one of them, Mr. Cleaver, an old Oregon City resident and related to aome of our best families. With a canning plant such aa they promise it we win their good graces, using 50,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds of milk per day, 6000 cows will be kept busy. This will be a great thing for Clackamas County and our farmers should come to the front and sbow tbelr interest The Commercial Club can do it part through its publicity department but the club needs the cooperation of ev eryone. Payroll, progress and prosperity are links in one chain which are want ed in all district. Oregon City I to have a paper bag, paper towel and toilet paper factory and the payroll will be some considerable sum for in these articles labor la one of the main items., This shows continued progress and prosperity, assured for some time to come. As long as our people will foster industry, with our great power possibilities the . three P's are sure to stay with us Payroll Progress Prosperity. A MONEY MILL FOR THE FARMER Wherever one travels, dairy sec tions give the most visible manifes tations of thrift and prosperity. The monthly cream check puts more mon ey in circulation. The purchaaf of concentrated feed add to he pro ductiveness of the farm. Large crops, big barns, comfartable houses, good roads, schools and other conditions indicate that the formers are "mak ing good." The beef steer cannot h3ld its own with the dairy cow, says the editor of Farm and Home, be cause she can get more dollars for her owner out of a ton of hay or an acre of corn. She is a more profitable transformer of farm crops Into mon ey. The food that will make a dollar's worth of beef will make several dol lar's worth of milk or butter. The dairy Industry has undergone several revolution in the last 30 year. First, the shotgun creamer and deep setting supplanted the shallow pan and surface skimming. Small creameries took the place of home dairies. Then came the cen trifugal separator and the factory system. Centralization has brought many economics and handsome prof its. The band separator has been a very Important factor In bis develop ment; without It the dairy Industry would be far behind. eM That Wav sometime.
