The country at the present time enjoying unparalled prosperity. The milla. minea and factories are running , full time; and in practically every line of Industry there is work for v.lcounty fMi bulWing ,nd blvea ery man who Is wiling to w-orx. The great railroad systems, the ar teries of trade In the country, are handling more traffic than they ever did In their history. Commerce! to thriving and the farmer, the niechan. lc and the luborlng men are all be ing well paid for their work. We are Just on the eve of the greatest wave of prosperity that the country hae experienced In fifteen years. Do we want to check that wave or allow It to spread throughout the land? It la up to the voters to decide Nov. S. , The administration of President Taft has been one of real constructive statesmanship. He has not shouted reform from the housetops to attract the attention oC the people, but he has earnestly worked to correct abus. es In the body politic, and what la more to the point, he has done so. In aptte of the popular clamor in certain direction's. President Taft has stood firmly by hi convictions on the question of tariff reform, that Is, that there should be a gradual revision downward after we have full and ac curate Information on the subject He has stood for scientific revision after expert! have studied the subject and made recommendations. This country knows what tariff re. vision means by the old methods. It means chaos In the business world and that means lack of employment, low wages and hard times for the great mass of the workers In the country. The country la just beginning to reap the benefits of the wise and constructive administration of Preaj .Idet Taft When he took up the reins of government business was In a chaotic condition. We were just emerging from the panic of 1907, the "rich man'a panic." We may call It what we choose, but it was the poor man, as always, who felt it most ser. ious effects. It took three years of patient work to repair the damage to the country done by that panic and now that the damage has been repaired, do we j want to plunge the country into an other which probably would be much - worse? We do not believe that the great mass of the worklngmen of the country desire such a condition. What has President Taft done for the workers during his admlnistra. tion- Atk the railroad brotherhoods interested in the passage of safety appliance laws and employer's liabll. ity and workmen's compensation leg islation on interstate railroads. Ask the thousands who are benefitted by the pas:-age of the eight.hour law j amendments. Ask the reform asso-1 ciauons wnicn ior years nave urgeu ; the creation of a children's bureau to .ma, cui.u m tue uouuu.auu which bureau to now In operation. Ask ! the coal miners of the country who ; have suffered so terribly from mine , disasters and who are now, thanks j to President Tuft, protected by a fed. j eral bureau of mining. j President Taft has been maligned by tfle demagogue ana spellDinder i who appeals to the galleries and to the emotions rather than the com mon sense of the multitude. Through It all be has maintained that cheerful smile and e'luable temperament which has made him notable among states. men. He has attended to tho work , of the nation, patiently building up I what others bad torn down and re- storing the business of the country ; to a solid basis. i Do we w ant to see all the splendid How The Banker Considers You THIS BANK is a public institution organized to serve the people, to better the financial conditions of this community, THE BANKERS purpose is to further the business interests of each of his customers. To each man and woman, not a customer of the bank the banker wants to give the benefits of his ser vice, and invites every individual to take advantage of what he offers. The Baok of Oregon City THE OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY work done by President Taft undone in the next four years? We most as. surcdly do not, and that la why the thinking men of tho country are with President Taft for re.electlon. It la not the loud, hiatal shouter who ac complishes real work In this world. It la the quiet constructive man who grapples with the problems In the privacy of his study and works out their solution with care and caution snd applies the remedy with courage and fortitude. That la what Pros. Ident Taft has done, and that la why he should be re-elected on November S to continue the prosperfty which he has gtven the country. SELF GOVERNMENT. Nine road measurea are aubmltled to be voted uiwn at the general elec tl"n. Two of these are the so called grange bills, fix are the -Harmony" bill, tho otrvh la the County, nome Ru)e wh(f a js dygigned to aotve k ,lmple (a8hlon. the problem of to counties the right of self governmeut In road matters now enjoyed by cities The) home rule is similar to the constitutional amendment voted by a large majority two years ago, except that It is self enacting and do-a not require legislative action to become effective. One grange bill la an en. abllng act for the present law, but provides a clumsy and cumbersome machluery for operation. The "Har. mony" bills limit the county Indebt edness tc two per cent, which would be fatal to many counties, as all parts of the county jnust be benefitted by the highways to be built or the tax payers will not vote the Indebtedness, jand ,w0 wnt wU1 not pr0.lde iuf flclent revenue. There U no need to limit the Indebtedness, taxpayers will not vote an excessive amount and it they do, the bonds cannot be sold. Cities are not limited, why should counties be? Counties are left under this bllL to provide their own ways and meana of action. The roads to be improved, the materials to be employed, the methods governing, are all left to the people of the county who are presumed to be able to govern themselves. The Home Rule is made effec tive at once, without further legisla tton, and being a constitutional amend ment dors not require action by courts to settle Its validity upon technical points. Its number on the ballot is 360. The bill is endorsed by Sam Hill, the noted good roads advocate and others Interested in highway develop, ment HOME RULE ROAD BILL. Among the numerous road meas ures aubmitted to the people upon the ballot for action at the November election, is the one aubmitted by the people of southern Oregon, known as the County Home Rule bllL This measure, as its name Implies, gives the counties the right to build high ways if desired, upon the consent of a majority of the voters if obtained jat a general or special election. The bill does not differ materially from the constitutional amendment submitted and carried two years ago, except that it is self enacting and re quires no enabling act and no legal entanglements or Interpretations by the courts to hamper action. No limitation Is placed upon the indebtedness, as such limitation is needless, for the taxpayers will not vote for too large an indebtedness and If they did. the bonds could not be sold. The limitation of two per cent placed in toe so-called Harmony uii. ill be fatal to many counties , as taxpayers will refuse to vote for indebtedness unless It benefits by g0O(, roadg a partg of the county which ca)not bg done a gnaU amount Under thjg mea8Urei the amount of indebtednesg eft t0 the taxpayerg to (Iecl(e The meagure county court, In Its order of elec tion shall "provide every detail Ooncern- ing the form and manner of dispos ing of the securities Issued" and to insure the success of the election, the roadB to be constructed, the materials used, will also have to be set forth. . i The simplicity of the measure is Its strong point, and It has the lndorse- ment of all of the leaning irood roads i advocates. Including Sam Hill, the president of the national good roads association! Its number upon the ballot is 3C0. BUT THEY COULDNT KEEP .1M.7 GOVERNOR INDORSES IT. Governor West was one of the first men appointed on our State Railway Commission, and It was his splendid record while serving on, that com slon that had much to do with his election to his present high office. While a commissioner he saw that all public utilities corporations doing business in the state ought to be un der the control of that commission and be had much to do with framing the Malarkey bill, which was pasaed with almost unanimous vote at the last session of the Legislature. The Governor promptly and cheerfully signed It, but the Interests applied the referendum. Now it is on the November ballot for rejection or ap proval. It should pass. All public utilities corporations should be in charge foour Railway Commission. We need no new boards, no new com mlssloners for this work. The Rail way Commissions of 20 states have such control. Oregon Is behind the times In taking control of such con cerns. Vote 314 - Yes. it win De almost a crime for the voters to de feat thia excellent meaaure. BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC. No one disputes the fact that our railway commmlssion has been of the greatest benefit o the general public. and at the same time It has been ben eficial to the railway companies, as It has stood between the companies and the public as a just and intelli gent arbiter. We would hardly know how to get along without this com mission. The only difficulty is the commission does not have the over sight of the street railways and other public utilites corporations, llut the Malarkey bill, which was passed al most unanimously by the last legis lature and baa been held up by the referendum, will come up for adoption at the November election. If this bill becomes a law all public utilities cor corporations will be under control of our railway commissioners. This added burden upon the commissioners will cost the taxpayers nothing, but will be of great benefit to the public, lie sure to vote 314, Yes. UNDER THE PRIMARY LAW. Hen Selling recveived the Republl. con nomination for United States Sen. ator In a fair and fquare contest un. der the direct primary law. Senator Iiourne was defeated fairly and squarely in the same election. Are the voters going to sustain the direct primary by supporting Selling, the uire'-t primary nominee, or will they give their Bupport to Iiourne and re pudiate the law? Oregon voters will not be parties to any such prostitu. tion of this fundamental law of the Oregon system. They should accept the result of the primary nominating election and vote for Selling, who ac tively participated In preparing and enacting all legislation which has Be. cured to Oregon Its present system of popular government. VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE. I Senator Bourne was a candidate for i the Republican nomination In the di rect primary election but was defeat ed by Hen Selling who carried 27 of the 34 counties. Mr. Selling's plural ity was 6500. It was the verdict of the people. They were "on trial." Bourne caused bla name to be present ed at the Bull Moose state convention where be was again turned down de cisively. As a last resort, Dan Kella her and other partisan Iiourne sup porters organized a mass meeting of 100 Multnomah county electors and launched the Senator's independent candidancy. Byl his course, Bourne has repudiated the direct primary law In part the creature of bli own crea tion. But be was determined to be a candidate. SINGLE TAX IN THE BOTTLE. r y- ) ) V v y ' PREACHER DISCUSSES SUICIDE. OKEUON CITY. Oct. il., (Morning Enterprise) I wish to register an em phatlc protest atutlnsl the attempt being made to shift the blame from the living parent of the dead in the case of the tragedy; that has Just shocked our city. No one with even ordinary horse seuse will believe for one moment that fear of parental ang er at a schoolgirl episode would drive a fourteen year old girl to suicide. The young men In the case may he innocent of crime. They are not In nocent. however, of keeping a child under age away from home at night agains her parent' protest. Her consent cuts no figure In the moral aspect of the rase. The young man who keeps a fourteen year old girl out, evon until one o'clock at night, deserves very little sympathy from a long suffering public. Why attempt to reflect upon the parents' harshness? I wilt tell you candidly If a girl of mine stayed out until after midnight with some bud ding, moon struck specimen of the Genus Homo, she and I would have an interview afterwards that would be good for her soul. More than that, the yoimg man would be likely to hear from me also, and would nt be apt to retain some more or less pleas ant memories of the occasion. There are hours enough between daybreak and ten o'clock at night for all Inno cent pleasure excursions, and no good can be found by young people upon our streets a midnight. And I voice the sentiment of the law abld Ing portion of the community when I say I hope that a host of young men probably a great deal worse than the boys who are In this trouble will learn that such conduct cannot be condoned. It Is strange that so many of the youth of today have such a gruesome and distorted sense of pleasure that nothing Is amusing to them unless It has In it an element of toughness. I am not referring to the young fellows implicated in this case, but to a host of others. There are plenty of such young men, wesk minded enough to mistake the ear marks of degeneracy for the evidences of smnrtness. and a man does not need to bo either a prophet or the son of a prophet to predict for such a rude awakening.
