ELECTION BALLOTS REG'L'R BED SHEETS Some fifty thousnnd enormous elec tlnn bnlluta, fresh from tho KuterprlHe presaes. arn being sent out over tho county by Ch-rk Mulvey, In preparation fur the coming olnctlun. Tho ballot this year, duo to the largo number of offices and office-seekers, and also the great variety and number of legls latlve measures to bo voted upon. Is of momentous proportions, and meas urea exactly 2 feet In length by 1 feet Inwldth. Tho task of conscientious voting will bo uuusually severe this year, ow Ing to the enormous ballot, and espe cially will Ihe burden fall heavily up on tho women voters, who aro unused to tho Intricate puzzles which appear on tho bulky ballots about gonornl election tltno. If the task proves a stnmbler for tlm voter, It will fall doubly hard on election clerks and Judges, however, and those who aro doomed to this hectilenn task may wen expect to hold an all-night session. T FIRST CITY TRIAL West Mini celebrated Its first mu nicipal trial Monday afternoon, when Mayor I.owthwalto with all dignity nee essary for the auspicious occasion, sentenced Prank McCafferty and Mrs. Frank McCafferty to a fine of $5.00 ench on a drunk and disorderly chargo, A. M. Arnoson waa also fined by Hlz: toner on a like chargo. It Is said that tho municipal court of the city con ducted the cuse with credit to Itself. Marshall Peto Winkle made the ar rests. Albany's Chautauqua association Is arranging to clear ort last season's debt of $2000, and to adopt the midget system, Tho association owns build ings valued at $1000, so that, In the broad souse, no actual deficit exists. Astoria's city park commission has named the city park on Coxcomb hill John Jacob Aator pnrlt, but will use all Its Influence to retain the present name of the hill Itself, rejecting "As tor Heights".

Under rectnt llepublkan adinlnlatrallnna tha postal aavluga bank and parcel tmat were created, the pure food and meat Inapm'llnn lawa were rn acted, bureau! of labor and of mluei were establlahed, a workmen'a ronipensatlun law waa passed, the Ca nal Am waa acquired and tho Pana ma Canal waa pluuued, authorized and nearly cumpleled, the Income tax and popular election of senator amend ments t-re submitted to the slates, Tha Interstate Commerce Cuininlsaloti n vltallM'd and such transportation abuaea aa freo paaaes, rebatea and fa rorltlsm were abollnhed, Internal Im provemeiita were conducted In a business-like manner and American Indus tries wero (oMtered under a tariff law that protected home producers from competition with cheaper lulxir abroad. Hlnre the beginning of tho present adiulnlslration Congress has been kept In aluiiHit continuous aesslon, enacting laws which have proven destructive or Ineffective. Tho new tariff law forced American producers Into competition with cheap labor abroad but did not bring the promised reduction In the cost of living. In a frantic effort to overcome the evil results of Ita tariff legislation, the administration passed a currency law the Ineffectiveness of which Is demonstrated by frequent ap peals of high officials for tho confi dence, of the business men of the coun try and by recent threats of the Sec retary of the Treasury to retaliate up on bankers for taking advantage of the opportunities the law expressly gave. The depressing effect of these pol icies hua been recorded by business barometers In no uncertain manner. Blnce January 1. 1913, stockholders In American enterprise nave suuored losses of $101,000,000 per annum, ex clusive of deferred dividends. One hundred and forty corporations have reduced their dividends or passed them entirely. Of these. 16 were railroads and the balance Industrial enterprises. Soma $810,000,000 of corporation se curities will mature, before the end of 11)15 and everyone knows that It Is Im possible to liquldnto the debts or re new tho securities at tho old rates of Interest. Pour hundred million dollars of new capital are needed for the nor mal development of American rail roads, but Investors are lacking In these uncertain times. If corimrntion managers alone were Interested In these conditions, It need not concern the average citizen, but every citizen Is vitally Interested In the facts I have stated, for In the final analysis the people pay the bill. Em ploye and employer, producer and con sumer, are equally Interested, for all business Is based upon credit and cred it Is based upon confidence In govern mental operations, measured by mar ket values of collateral and Indicated by interest rntes, which are now from 7 to 10 per cent as against 4 to 6 per cent on short time loans as of two years ago. Unsound Democratic economic poli cies menn Increased Interest rates, followed by business contraction and cessation. It certainly looks as though tho present administration would pass Into history as ono noted for receiver ships, business stagnation and econom ic waste. The remedy Is tho process of elim ination und substitution the defeat of Democrats and election of Republicans. In recent conversations with some of the lending business men of the coun try. 1 have stntod that Republican suc cess In November, the election of a Republican House and a material In crease In Republican membership In tho Semite, would In 30 days thereaf ter Increase, the market value of all securities at least 20 per cent. In ev ery luHtnnce, my benrers have said Hint my estimate was extremely con servative and many bclioved that the result would bo even better than I pre dicted. Rut, as I said bofore, there are stronger reasons why the present ad ministration should bo dented the ap proval it soeka. The whole trend of the Democrntlo party and of this ad ministration Is against popular govern ment and for dictatorship under cen tralized power. President Wilson has assumed and the Democratic Congress has recog nized the right of the Executive to In dicate measures that shall or shall not be considered, tho language iu which such measures shall be drafted and the time In which they shall be passed. Tho Democratic Congress has practic ally abdicated its constitutional func tion as a legislative body and the Capi tol has become but an echo of the White House. With all other advocates of popular government, I applauded Woodrow Wilson when, as a candidate, he re pudiated those of his early writings ! which condemned the Initiative and referendum, but I watched in vn!n for that vigorous activity which the Ararr lean people had a right to expect him as Governor of New Jersey to exert for the adoption of those fundamentals I of popular government in his own state, nor do I know of any advocacy of same since he became Presidont I rejoiced again when Candidate Wil son proclaimed pitiless publicity as one of his principles, and, therefore, have seen with astonishment the wlth they foreseen the policy In this re gard which has been pursued by his administration.

MILES MiniCAL CO., tmnart, Ind. Candidate Wilson was an advocate of a presidential primary but since bis Inauguration ha baa apparently craaed all efforts to have pn aldentlul primary laws enacted by the several slatca or y tho National Congn-aa. No one la more) slow than I to ques tion another's motlvea. I delight to concede to every nmn'a honesty of pur pose. Hut though I still withhold rrlt- clnm ol the motives or Woodrow Wil son, I must confe's that the variance between bis pledges and his perform ances tho d-Hen nee between his eai'hlng and his practice la so great that my confidence In his sincerity Is severely shaken. There can be no truly popular government unless men enrry out the pledges made to the peo ple b'-'fore they were elected, holding of Information regarding pub lic buidness. the entublUliment of the party caucus and the adoption of un precedented secrecy aa a governmental policy. t'p to the time of his election the public utterancea or Woodrow Wilson proclaimed him an opponent of execu tive control over legislation but the record since bis Inauguration ehowa a difference as marked as that Illustrat ed in the famous story of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Candidate Wilson, not only as an endorser of bis party platform but by his own specific utterances, was an unequivocal advocate of free tolls for American coastwise shipping -through tho Panama Canal. President Wilson repudiated both party and personal pledges and forced repeal of the free tolls provision. For years and years Woodrow Wilson was known to the world as'an aggres sive advocate of Civil Service Reform and was the recipient of the votes of hundreds of thousands who would have marked their ballots otherwise had While I should deem myself fully justified In voting against endorsement of the Wilson administration solely up on the ground of tho economic blund ers it has made, I feel niore strongly compelled to pureue that course through loyalty to the popular govern ment principles for which I long have fought. It shall be my effort, there fore, to Induce as many as possible of my fellow citizens to express disap proval of an administration that strives to subject the American people to the domination of one man one who seems to take delight in violating pre-election pledges. JONATHAN BURNE, Jr. GRANGE FAVORS THE E Constitutional amendment favored by the grange. Prohibition amendment 332 Yes. The saloon business is right or it Is wrong. If It Is right and tends to de velop a better mnnhood and womnn hood, If It Is a benefit to the community nt large and to those who patronize It, we should advise our young folks to cultivate the saloon habit and the drink habit; wo should encourage the estab lishment of more saloons just as we would grocery stores, hotels ond con fectioneries; we should remove all li censes nnd restrictions and require that they be kept open ou Sundays and election days nnd all night. They should be permitted to sell booza to women, children and Indians. Why restrict a good thing? If the salmon business Is wrong, If it does not have a tendency to develop a higher mnn hood nud womanhood lu the commun ity, then it should be put out of busi ness and we should not accc.pt a bribe under the name of saloon license to permit a bad business to prey upon the people. If It Is wrong W3 enn not af ford to sanction and protect the saloon for the soke of the license money. Let us do our duty by voting out the legalized liquor traffic. C. E. SPENCE, ' C. L. SHAW, B.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION HALTS FOR WINTER The extensive permanent road cam paign pursued by the county court throughout the summer, and brought tt a halt during the last few days, owing to the advent of the fall rains, has re sulted In approximately four and one half mllea of permanent roads. The blghwaya are built of s combination of asphalt and mac-'am and are 16 feet In width and were built under the per aonal direction of Road Engineer llob son. The roads comprise three sections of the county which sre extensively Irar elled. The first stretch to be complet ed was the strip of road running from Clackamas station on toward Portland, about IU mllea In length. This strip wns finished a few weeks sgo. The "south end" of Lazello road aa It la called la not quite finished but has been thrown open lo public travel throughout tho winter. The rains have prevented the final coating, but the macadam and oil are already packed down and the road can be used with safety throughout the winter. Tbe strip begins about 1 3-4 miles out on tho New Era road, and Is one mile In length. The "river road." when completed. will run from Meldnim to Oak Grove. and la now finished aa far lis Jennings Lodge. Between Jennings and Oak Grove, however, a small section Is still unfinished, and It ia hoped that this section may be In a state to be thrown open to the public within the next week. The river road will be 2V4 miles In length. Clackamas' first experience In bet ter roads will prove highly suc cessful. It Is believed. Engineer Hob son estimates the coBt at about $6,000 per mile. It Is believed that this Is only the beginning of an extensive road campaign in this county.

A FIRMER TONE Th9 egg market Is extremely firm and best candled offerings- are being very firmly held along Front street, Portland, at 37o a dozen. Some or dtnary stock, which cannot be placed In the first class by any means, is be ing sold at 35c. There is little demand for anything except the best fresh stock and select offerings of storage. Chinese eggs, which are considered about fourth class storage by the general trade, are selling very slowly and then only by force. There Is practically no open demand for these Mongolian offerings because of their dirty chocolate brown color and small sizes. Receipts of fresh eggs along the street are exceedingly scare. It Is stated tnat some of the valley mer chants are sending their selected stock to the northern markets and sending the refuse to Portland, while demand ing extreme prices for the latter. Those that have received the latter supplies are naturally experiencing much diffi culty in disposing of them except at sharply shaped values.

TAKEN FROM STREET The danger signs, after having been p a month, came down Friday at the order of the council. Tho motion re moving the algns was passed at a spe cial meeting of the council Thursday afternoon. For the short time the notices were up, they were among tbe most dis cussed topics in the city. Arguments ou the advisability of posting them were dally occurences on every part of Main street. Tbey were posted at he order of the council after an ulti matum had been delivered to the prop erty owners. Th Board of Trade was instrument al in Inducing the council to remove the signs. Tbe business men's organ ization Is planning a "Main Street Day" when every merchant will patch the holes In the street In front of his own place of business. COUNTY WINS Circuit Judge Campbell signed a de cree Saturday sustaining a demurrer filed by District Attorney Hedges, rep resenting tbe county, In the suit of Walter S.

Not one of these would lessen the whole a moment of taxes that we would need to pay one cent Ballot Nos. 310 and 311 is too sweeping. It would allow the legislature to pass a law to collect all state taxes from rail roads. This would prevent the coun ties from levying on this class of prop erty. It would reduce the taxable property of Clackamas "county almost a third for county purposes. This would undoubtedly increase taxes on other properties. Ballot Nos. 30S and 309 might do no harm and It may do no good. So I suggest that the voter vote "no" on all six of the tax measures. There are some reforms needed, but the reforms should be definitely set forth. The $1500 home tax exemption amendment so-called, is simply a sin gle tax proposition. It is the hope of the single tax authors of this amend ment that the property holder and his wife, and sons and daughters each will get $1,500 of exemption, so as to bring about a condition as near to the single tax as possible. Else why did they say 'every person shall be exempt J1500 of Improvements? Wby did they not say every taxpayer shall be exempt in the sum of $1500 for improvements? It is clear that this "every person" joker la Intended to give just as much exemption as possible'. Some fam ilies will get from $1500 to $5,000. At Tbe Dalles some well known single tax- ers already have placed a house and lot each In the name of the wife, the sons, nnd the daughters. One In par ticular has deeded a house and lot to each of three sons and to his wife. The property is sufficiently valuable so that they will each be exempt $1500. In this Instance five times $1500 is $7;00 of exemption to this one family. There were 7116 homes in Clack amas county in 1910 according to fed eral census. There must be 7500 now. If the average exemption per home is $1,000 which I think it will be there will be exempted $1000 X $7,500 $7, 500,000. The total assessment of Clackamas county Is about $30,000,000. Hence 25 per cent of the present as sessment will be exempt. It will there fore be necessary to Increase the mill age rate 33 1-3 per cent to raise the necessary revenue to mn the county government, as there will be no de crease In the cost of government If the $1500 amendment passes. So if the tax rate were 15 mills under the pres ent law it would have to be 20 mills after the exemption passed. You must bear in mind the fact that it costs just so much under any sys tem of taxation to run the government.

H I edi tor of tbe ICnterprlae) This eoininunl- ratlon I offered for publication aa at- preaalng lha reaulla of dlapaaalouale atudy of tbe liquor queatUm pursued by one w no Is not a radical, and who baliber regard prohibition a a pana cea for all evlla nor anticipates that a prohibitory atatute, If adopted, will be horougbly enforced. Nevertli.ilea, up on moral irounda lha conclualon baa been reached that tha s'ate cannot longer afford lo lend countenance to traffic In Intoxicating liquors, and up on antinomic grounds that tha com monwealth will be Improved by Ihe elimination of the aaloon. Weliib-d by Ihe rules of evidence whl' h govern court of luatli e. the fol lowing fort have be-n proven by an overwhelming preponderance of evl- ence. Tbey are aufflileut to Induce, be writer to eapouae tb dry cauin In thla campaign, and are presented In tha hope that their consideration may id others In reaching conclusion up on thla veied problem. First The beat authorities In mod- rn medical science derlre that alcohol a poison, and that Ita use under mine rhara't.-r and leasena vitality. ny atep, therefore, looking toward it ultimate disappearance- Is worthy sup port. Second Tbe experience of life In- urance companies through a long ae rie of years haa demonstrated that tbe use of alcoholic beverage ahort- ns life, and decrease lha desirability of Insurance risks. Third The great employers of la bor have concluded that alcohol dl mlnlihe efficiency, and they are re fusing places to men who drink. There 'la no sentiment In buslnes. In tha future eoner men alone will find em ployment. I.alor and capital have com mon Interest In th banishment of the saloon. i Fourth The athletic world no long er stands sponsor for the drinking man. and proclaims through tha mouths or Its leaders, that clean living and quick thinking, the prime essen tials to success in sthletic sports, are Impossible In association with alcohol. Fifth Tbe general business of a dry town. Its collections, its morals, are all universally better thnn In the pres ence of the saloon. When payday comes men then use their money to purchase supplies for family use, tha bills are paid promptly. Careful Inves togatlon In any town which has passed through both wet and dry periods will demonstrate this. Sixth Prosecuting officers testify almost without exception that tbe ma jority of criminal cases which come be fore them, have their source In the use of intoxicating liquors. When crlmo diminishes taxes will decease. The criminal courts, the jails, the peniten tiaries snd the reformatories are all tax-eaters pure and simple. Seventh The liquor Interests gen erally oppose any movement looking toward Improved moral and civic con ditions, and their engine of operation, the saloon, must be eliminated in tho interest of progress. Just as slavery, lotteries and open gambling have been eliminated. It was a long, bitter fight to accomplish tbe suppression of these recognized evils, and It might be prof itable to remember that their support ers made In their day substantially the same appeal to business men as the liquor people are making now, Respectfully, STEPHEN A LOWELL. 500 on which he now pays a tax some body else or several some bodies else, muct pay it it for him. The man who is willing to dodge taxes on $1500 Is no whit better than the man who dodges taxes on $150,000. The single taxer says you place a ' fine on industry when you build a house and it is taxed. It looks plaus ible. But suppose I sell a piece of land for $1500, I build a residence with the money. The single taxer says this $1500 should be taxed if it is in land. Is It not the same $1500 in value when It Is In a house? Then why should we not pay a tax on It. We did not cre ate a value when we built the house as they assume. We used a value already existing. That value in land they de sire to be taxed, but the same value invested in Improvements they desire to exempt. Their position is not logi cal. 1 But there is a second veiled joker In the $1500 amendment. No corpor ation Is to get any exemption. This fact Is mentioned In their argument. Why should not the small corporation of from $1000 to $10,000 capital be en- titled to an exemption if the Individ nal person is entitled to exemption? There is no good reason why every corporation little or big should have its taxes increased one-third. Another proposition niuggled away in this amendment is that any value added to ' land by clearing it, draining it, or ditching It is exemptible.' The county judge of Wasco county owns 9 acres assessed at $S0 an acre. Unimproved land in that community is assessed at $20. The difference between $20 and $80, or $G0 Is exempted under thla amendment. Of the $720 now as sessed $540 would be exemptible. I have $1800 of the same kind of ex emptible improvements. My total of exemptible property is $2950. By deed ing my wife the 20 acres on which is the house and barn, I can secura the whole $2,950 and my assessment will be reduced from $3,680 to $730. My taxes will be reduced, but some one else less able than I am to pay will have to help pay what I get out of paying. I do not care to dodge my share of the cost of government in any such manner. The young man paying for a piece of land in order some day to build a home on it will have his tax increased because there are no improvements on it. Will this encourage him? The ex emption amendment will cause many inequalities. There will be many in equalities, many injustices in its work ings. If you want to bring single tax about vote for the $1500 amendment. If you do not wish single tax vo" against it I suggest that the safest way to r on the tax measures is to vote "no" o.i all of them.
