INTERE8T rPaid on Time Certificates The Bank of Oregon City OLDIST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY Professor Fisher, of Yale, has pre pared a list of reasons why Wilson should be re-elected. They are not as numerous as those which Prof. Wil son could daw for himself, we dare tay but the conclusion which Fisher brings up from the bottom of the pool Is certainly entertaining. He s&ys that Wilson should be re-elected because he has made eo many mistakes dur ing his present term that he has run out of mistakes and will go errorless during the next four yerrB. We doubt if such reasoning will appeal to the country. The people will prefer to think that a man who has filled one presidential term to repletion with mistakes probably has the habit fas tened on him. j "Ladles' dresses one-third off,'' says j an advertisement In the Eastern Clack amas N'ews.

BT GHRISSGHUEBa OREGON CITY ATTORNEY DIS CUSSES MANY INITIATIVE BILLS AT BEAVER CREEK. Most of the mule voters of the Reaver Creek precinct, with only two woman suffragists courageous enough to brave the rigid atmosphere of an unusually early winter night, formed un interested uiidlence at a meeting addressed by V. Scbuebnl at tho grange hall there Saturday night. The meeting was the second lu a series of 40 to lie held tinder the aiisplcett of the county committee of 100. Mr. Schuebel attacked vigorously and with pointed nrgument the pro posed brewers' amendment, to the slate constitution, analyzing It In de tail and showing scores of "Jokers," which ho labeled as the work of the liquor Interests of the stiiCii "tho most untruthful and crooked group of citi zens In Oregon." Mr. Schuebel's ad dress made It appiirntiti thut the great est violations of law und (feconcy will bu possible If the amendment Ih passed nnd showod how tho lu.w would he beyond power of control either by state, county or city governments. The bill would permit the mnaufuetiiro and sn'e of Intoxicants to minors and would make every store, pharmacy or doctor's office a dispensary of liquor. Tho speaker discussed the people's land and lonn bill, tlie tux limitation hill, the single Item veto and the rural credits measure. The former he branded us the most vicious socialistic machination that had been tatnmpted slnco the pnssugo of tho Intlntlvn act. "The bill Is a long step backward rather than forward In civilization. It was prepared by following tho lines of a system of government In vogue In Peru hundreds of yours ago; Its spon sors would take us back to those days rather than advanco us. It Is simply confiscation. It alms to give a great deal for nothing and is full of attrac tive catch phrases to attract tho gul lible voter who will not take the time to study Its evils." The tax limitation bill and the stato rural credits proposal were supported by Mr. Hchuobel. Hlanilng the tax payers for tho heavy Incrcaso In Btato, county and municipal taxes and deny ing thut public offlcluls were respons ible, Die speaker asked Ills auditors to vote affirmatively upon the nieiisuri. lo "protect Iheiiiselves from them selves." The rural credits bill wus strongly endorsed nnd lo curry bis arguments Mr. Hchiiehol attacked the recently ell acted federal rural credits law, Hay ing It was devoid of value lo Hie iiiau wlio needed he'p nnd lhat Its red tape and the long list of oxitcnslvn offlclalit needed lo carry out Its terms made It useless Ullil Inefficient. The single Item veto, proposing to give power to Ihe governor to scratch any feature of any bill, approprlutlvn or legislative, without throwing out the entire bill, was discussed und Us passage advocated by Mr. Schuchid.
