I'ROHIRITION Now that the election is over and the votes of the peo YOR OREGON CITY pie have shown that they no longer believe in the scare crows that were raised by the saloons, it is pleasant to look back upon rhe campaign and notice the dignitieJ way in which the fight was conducted by both sides. Neither the wets nor the drys have engaged in personalities or undignified conduct throughout the campaign and have based the Kittle that has been waged upon the facts that have been at the command of their committees. The people have had the chance to weigh those facts and have determined for themselves that the city would be better under prohibition than under the saloon regime. They have determined to give the plan a try, at any rate, and have figured that prohibition cannot hurt the city nearly as much as the wets have believed that it would. The campaign is a concrete example of the way that facts may be submit ted to the people without all of the mud slinging and falsifying that usually attends the political campaigns of this and other states. It is an indication of the time and thought that the people in general give to the issues that af fect them and that have to do with their common interests. It is, in fact, a sign that the old time political methods of warfare are a thing of the past and that no longer will the people be bull-dozed into voting or threatened into supporting measures that their minds cannot approve or their judgment de termine is right The people themselves have reached the point where they propose to do their own thinking for themselves and for their own interests. They have done that in this campaign. They have seen the facts that have been pre sented to them by the committees of the dry forces and have determined that the saloons are an evil that should be driven from the city and they wisely de termined to take the step that would eliminate them from the machinery of the city. The scare crow that wis raised by the saloons that the city taxes would be higher did not frighten away the voters at the polls. They believed that the saloons raised that cry in their own interests and that it was merely used as a political veil to cover the sins for which the saloons and the saloon element have been responsible. The Enterprise is delighted with the result of this election. It shows that the saloons and the element that is tied to the saloons can no longer dom inate the city and that the people are awake to their own interests in a way that they have seldom shown before. The fact that the Enterprise has had some part in the battle and has assisted in the fight that has been so success fully carried through, is a matter of satisfaction. It is glad that it had a part in the fight to make this city one of the dry towns of the state and believes that it has fulfilled the functions of a newspaper when it calls the attention of the people to things that are against their interests and urges them to down those things and take the stand that will lead to the city's betterment. A newspaper is a public institution. Its voice shoud be on the side of the people, continually pointing out those things that should be done for civic betterment and standing for all things that are for the interests of the peo ple. Whenever there is one thing that is a blight upon the city or county through which that paper circulates, it is the duty of that newspaper to point out tnat evil to tne people ana 10 urge r--m iu - Enterprise has taken. It is, consequently, pleased that the people have risen and by their votes driven out the evil that this paper has seen and against which it has struck trip hammer blows for the past few weeks of the cam paign. There is no danger that the city will be in such straights as the saloons have led us to believe. There is not the slightest doubt but that this city, as have all others that have voted as we have, will continue to progress. There is less doubt but that the city, now that the curse of the saloon has been re moved and the old man of the sea who has been hanging to our neck so long has been unloosened, will take those steps of progress much more rapidly arid that the growth of the city in the next few years will be more noticeable than it has been in the past. -O- WILSON AND President Wilson has taken the step that Americans gert HUERTA erally expected that he would be forced to take in spite of his announced policy of non-intervention and his declaration that he would not interefer in Mexican affairs, except to protect the lives ad property of Am ericans. His order to the provisional president of Mexico amounts to a declaration of war, should those orders be disobeyed. It means that this country has taken a decided stand in the Mexican situation, one that foreign nations have thought it should have taken some time ago. . The Monroe doctrine has been the wall that has kept out the interference of the foreign powers and has forced them to stand idly by while the United States dilly-dallied along with the irresponsible governments that have been dominating Mexican affairs for sometime in the past. Our policy of non-intervention has made us put up with many things from the government of Mexico that other nations would have long ago demanded idemnities for and yet we have stood for the insults and other indignities without doing anything more violent to the revolutionrent country than to protest at the things that have happened. The country will watch with interest the action that comes out of the decisions of the powers that be at Washington to tolerate no more foolish ness on the part of the Mexican president and to see that he gets out of office in short order and turns over the government of his people to one who is ap proved by the people and authorities of the United States. The Ideal Limit of Banking will not be reached until every person who has as income keeps a bank account. There are hundreds of persons in this vicinity who do not keep a bank ac count, but who should do so. We are always at their service. The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY Too long already have we suffered from the Mexicans that no other na tion would have endured. We have refused to intervene when our people were shot in their foolish quarrels over the Ixmler. We have even seen them tale our citizens prisoners in their filthy jails and have received repot tytf the way that those people have met their deaths at the hands of the opposition torccs that are continually at war in Mexico, Hut the climax came when the present official head of the Mexican people became the instigator of the plot to rid the country of Madero and turned traitor to the chieftan whose cause he foimerly warmly. supported. Such a man's principles are not what might be expected in the ruler of a sister re public and certainly they are not conrucive to th esafcty of the Americans who are living on the other side of the line. The president of the United States has taken the proper stand when he demanded that Iluerta resign at once and get out. It is now a flat-footed proposition. Either Iluerta must quit or the United States must intervene. The Mexican president must see the handwriting on the wall and know now that his official days are numbered. It is certain that .the president cannot even recede from th eposition he has assumed. It is reassurring to the people of the United States to know that .they have in the chair of the chief executive a manwho will give all of the time that may be needed for the adjustment of difficulties by diplomatic relations, hut that when he sees they are no longer effective, takes the stand toward which he has been steadily driven all of the time. It will be with interest that the people of the county watch the outcome of this demand upon the part of one president toward another. BEAUTIES OF The income tax which democratic statesmanship added to THE INCOME TAX the Wood row Wilson tariff act to make gmnl the loss of customs revenue sacrificed in a theoretical, and probably futile, attempt to "reduce the cost of living" is just beginning to reveal its true beauties to the average fairly wcll-to-do-citien. The outstanding feature of these beauties is that the income tax law will probably compel every citiren who has, or is supposed to have, an income f rom about $2,500 a year up to employ a lawyer, and probably a high-priced legal specialist, to save him from unconscious and unintentional violations of the law, or at least from accusation and investigations at the hands of a whole new tribe of federal afficials whom the act brings into being. For the government doesn't undertake to find out who should pay the income tax and send around a bill or request for schedule. Ie demands that every citizen shall find out whether he is liable and shall figure out for him self how much he owes. And the provisions of the law are so complex and confusing that it is extremely difficult to find out, without expert legal ad vice, especially for men whose earnings are close to the border line of excep tion. He may feel sure that he is exempt, but if some ill-informed or envious neighbor doesn't think so and lays information against him he is liable to in quisitorial investigation and to penalties if he misunderstood the law. How ever honest his intention, he is liable to be pilloried as a "taxdodger" if it suits the purposes of political opposition or personal enmity so to do. He is liable to be put to much trouble,' and to far more expense than the amount of his tax, in order to comply with the law, find out what he ought to pay, or clearly show that he ought not pay at all. The complexity of the law and the difficuty of complying with its pro visions are publicly confessed by the essays on the subject which Luther F. Speer, head of the corporation tax division of the internal revenue bureau, is furnishing to the newspapers. Doubtless Mr. Speer understands the law, but when the average man gets through reading one of his essays, with its excursions upon payment at the source and other peculiar features, he is ape to feel that he knows less than he did before. He is apt to feel that the only safe course is to call in a legal expert and "put it up" to him, knowing that if the lawyer goes wrong he can plead "advice of counsel" if hauled into court. Many newspapers have consistently advocated that congress should have power to impose an income tax as a resource in time of war, and then to be imposed in some simple and straight-forward manner. The Wilson admin istration, having accepted the delusion that to cripple the sheep and sugar in dustries would "reduce the cost of living," found itself compelled to resort at once to the income tax to make good the loss of revenue thus thrown away. So we have, in a time of peace. 00 war even rea"v threatened, in place of a simple levy at ports of a tax so minute in its incidence upon indi viduals that it was not felt at all save by academic theorists, this complicated, inquisitorial and confusing income tax law, with its un-American assumption that success should be penalized. The Wilson administration took office with a great stock of credit to its head for sincerity and good intentions. Those sentiments are still entertained by all good citizens. Nevertheless they are also beginning to have toward it a sort of "tired feeling." If that feeling continues to grow, and results in democratic party disaster, it is evident that the income tax law will be no small factor in its growth and in that result. VINDICATING Some longherished notions regarding certain birds THE BIRDS are given a rude shock in a recent United States government publication. The publication is entitled "Fifty Common Birds of Farm and Orchard," and is an exceedingly valuable and interesting book. Three varieties of birds that are, mainly through ignorance, regarded as unmitigated pests and nuisances are defended. These are the hawk, the owl and the sparrow. Hawks and owls, says the "bird book," are generally classed as thieves and robbers, whereas most of them are true friends of the farmer, because they are long-lived and spend much of their existence in de stroying injurious insects and rodents. All birds, says the book, are extremely voracious and therefore useful, because far the greater part of their food consists of destructive bugs, and even those which stead some of the farmer's grain usually do him more serv ice in destroying insect pests than they harm him by their predatory activity. Tree sparrows also render farmers great service because one of their prin cipal articles of diet is the seed of weed, and they therefore perform a much needed task in checking weed growth and spread. The department of agri culture finds that a typical member of this family will consume one-four of an ounce of weed seed per day on the average, and on this basis, in a great agricultural state like Iowa, the three sparrows will consume in the course of a year the enormous amount of 875 tons of weed seed. Therefore, another argument for the preservation of bird life and for the wisdom of bird protective legislation is offered which should have great weight with the farmer, among whose best friends are the birds. FACTS ABOUT CLACKAMAS COUNTY, ITS RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIES Clackamas County, the most fertile county of the fertile Willamette Val ley has such varied possibilities and resources, that we can almost stand alone without calling upon the outside world for its products. The soil and climatic conditions fur- i nish an ideal combination for the pro. duction of every variety of plant life outside those of the tropical zone. Clackamas County Is the gateway to the Valley, and the gate swings both ways. With Portland close at hand to afford a market and a shipping point by rail and water Clackamas County has an advantage of untold value to her producers. The people of the county are de pendent upon no one crop for their living, and by the practice of inten sive and general farming, dairying, poultry and stock raising, are never in danger of the wolf that prowls at the door where only one crop can be raised. Fruit growing In Clackamas County is on the upward trend, and census re ports for 1910 show that the county has advanced from 15th place to 4th In the state. The county may !o proud of this record, especially in view of the fact that the report shows that there are about one-hal fthe number of trees In the county there were In 1900. Many new orchards have been set out, but by the cutting down and destroying of old Infested orchards, the number of trees has been cut in two and the Increase In production Is multiplied by six and one-half The county should be proud of these figures for they show that better methods have been practiced than bave heretofore prevailed. The value of all fruits and nuts In the county In 1900 was $65,411 and In 1910 had Increased, wth half the num ber of trees to $321,003. 11)10 I Th county Is coming to the front lu tint fruit Industry, and with Iter strategic position In the slain "or l"m pie should lirliut her record ly ' Hum of Hit Inking of I'"1 " census, to first place, The following comparative flugies show the good work done lit the past decade: Rank In Production. 1900 Apple Plume and prune Cherry 3 IVars " Peach , 31 Strawberries 3 Raspberry and loganberry IMiukuerry Value of all fruits ., Poultry raising and boa culture to hand lu hnnd with fruit raining, and these are both most profitable side lines where combined with an Indus try to which they are as well bene ficial.

Portland, tho great market place of tho Northwest, with the Villon Stork Yards for an outlet provides a nearby point for sale and distribution, where hogs always com mand high prices. dairying Is practiced with the best results due partially to our mild winters. There are always green ai'U succulent feed of root crops and kate to be drawn from, which keep the cows In good condition, ana musing profusely throughout the whiter. lalry products are being Imported Into our state and county, and this should be reversed and Clackamas county dairy products should find their way Into the markets of the world, thereby bringing a revenue Into the county, and by Increasing the herds. adding materially to the fertility or the soil. The Panama Canal will op en to us marketa heretofore unavail able, and markets which no county In Oregon can reach more easily and more cheaply, and we should bs readr to supply a sure demand. Next to agriculture, lumbering Is the most Important Industry, but Clackamas county will always accord to agriculture flrnt place because she has the soil, the finest growing ell- mate, and because the markets of the world are open to her. The magulficent water power through the county will one day give her a field of operation upon which she has already set her foot firmly- manufacturing. She has today the largest and most diversified manufacturing Interests of any county in the state. Within her borders blankets and woolen cloth. pulp and paper mills are operated pro fitably, and a cement works of Im mense capacity Is In course of con struction. Flour mills, Ice and cold storage plants, foundries and machine shops add their quota to the Increasing number of Industries which go to make Clackamas County one of Oregon's richest and busiest counties. A net work of railroad Is building In the county and prosperity and pop ulation follow the railroads. The Mount Hood line taps the Northeast ern part of the county; the Portlan-I RaUway, Light Power Co. has lines pinning Into various parts of tho county and the Oregon Klectrlc tra verses the western side of the coun ty. The Clackamas Southern which is operating trains to Dearer Creek will soon be operating trains Into a new territory, which has rich re sources of timber, mineral, fruit, agri culture and dairying. This enterprise promises to do more for Clackamas County than anything which has pre ceded it for it opens up the Immensely rich secton of which Molalla Is the center. The road will soon build on Into Marlon County to Sllverton and Mt. Angel in the heart of a fine prune and hop country. The Southern Pi cine follows a southerly course through the western part of the conn ty, and at Canhy this road Is tapped by a new road to Molalla. The populaton of Clackamas coun ty In 1910 was 35,000 of which 70 per cent were born In the United States, 15 per cent In Germany, and the re mains 15 per cent principally from the North of Europe and the British Isles, There are 628,063 acres of unim proved land at an average assessed value of $14.96 per acre and 97,211 ac res of cultivated land, assessed at an average of $59.25 pe racre. The oil on much of the logged off or unimproved land is red and of ex cellent texture, Is full of humus, and In It Is stored away all the elements to produce large yield of fruit, vege tables, wheat, oats and barley. In the county are found mineral springs of great curative properties, and at these springs and over and around beautiful, grand, rugged old Mount Hood are found resorts for the recreation and enjoyment of visitors from all over county. The oldest Chautauqua In the state holds yearly sessions In the county, and has been a power In drawing to the county the shining lights In the literary and scientific world. Hard to Suit.

Oregon's agricultural products for the year 1913 have a valuation of $1(0. 000,000, according lo the report of Dr James Wlthycombe, director of the Slate Experiment Station and Deau of (he Oregon Agricultural College. It Is estimated that there are about .10,000 farmers In the stale of Oregon, the entire population of which Is some thing less than 700,000 Including men. women and children. This gives a pet capita return of $200 from (he boun teous crops of 1913, and Is an Increas of $14,000,000 over any previous year. Following Is a statistical report of the year'a crops: Wheat ....

Clackamas County has undeveloped fruit land that will come Into Its own one of these days, when It will be counted the finest In the land. Here la found the rod shot soil, the alti tude and climatic conditions which make perfect conditions for growing this healthful and delicious fruit. The region around Bandy, Oregon, which lies on the west slope of the Cascades, haa been said by three of the foremost and most successful ap ple growers of tho Hood River district to be the Ideal apple country. "Give us soil, altitude and climatic condi tions of the west slope and our care In producing and handling the fruit and we could produce apples such as the world has never seen." Add to this one other feature of apple growing In the Valley which makes for better fruit with less labor In produclng-rthe maturing of our fruit without Irrigation and It may be readily teen that conditions are Just right for the production of apples In the Sandy country.
