OFFICIAL PAPEH OF THE CITY OF MAHSHF1ELD. ' TIME FOH ACTION. T Tho duty of every resident of Coos Bay is to be optimistic. These na tural opportunities and resources are such that no other spirit is tolerable. Pessimism Is not proper In fact It is disgusting. Tho true Coos Baylte will never look at nnythliig throUBh tho wrong end of the oyoglnss. There are, it must oo auumicu, suiuu iu men on the Bay who belittle every thing and everybody on Coos Bay and who insist on declaring every ox- pected good a long way off. If they will turn tho glass round and see things ns they are they will bo as good as anybbdy. There Is only one fault which tho people of Coos Bay arc chargoablo with, niter all, but It is a fault common to all such com munities everywhere. That fault consists in tho bellof that in rogard to tho very largo prospects and op portunities of the Bay, they nro In cnpable of self help. With a Uttlo more conlldenco and faith they can ovorcomo all tho obstacles which con front them. It must bo admitted, of course, that thcro aro some knockers In the Bay Cities. But tho habit of calling constant attention to them and spending all one's tlmo "knock ing tho knocker" simply shows that tho Inclination to knock is so great In tho knockers' critic as to oxcludo tho possibility of being really useful. Lot tho knocker nlono. Don't pay any attention to him. Lot ench man do his own work progressively and let nil progressive woVkers cooperate. "Wo havo had preaching enough." Let us now have plans. Let us havo a plan by which tho progressive clo- monts enn bo united for real work. Such organization Is really needed. There are many good, woll meaning, but not vory positive characters on Coos Bay who can bo filled full of - - mm 0 M IN on soon IMPORTANT MEASURES ADOPT ED AT DECENT ELECTION WILL MAKE IIADICAL CHAN GES TAXATION- MEASURE CA HI LIES.

Hmlicnl Change Made. Tho tax amendment cnrrled Is tho .most radical sweeping of three tax amendments submitted. Two that wore proposed by tho Legislative As sembly In response to a movement fostered by tho Stnto Grango woro defented. TIiobo amendments re moved tho restriction In tho consti tution on exempting certain clnsscs of property or on lovylng n less rate of taxation on ono clnsB of property than on nnothor. Tho county tax measure, as It Is commonly known, was Bubmlttcd through tho initintivo by tho labor organizations of tho stnte. It taken from tho lpglslnturo all power to pass laws regulating taxation or ex emptions and gives that power sole ly to tho people, although the legis lature mny submit such laws for ap proval or rejection nt tho polls. Ench county Is permitted to rogulnto tnx ntlon within Its borders as It sees nt. Tho levying of poll tax Is prohib ited. Tho bill Is regarded as having beon designated ns nn entering wedgo for "single tax" measures. Un der Its provisions a 'county whoso voters woro so disposed might adopt that system, even tnough the meas ure could not muster strength in tho stnto at large to bo mado a stnto law.

Tho now artlclo pormlts tho abolishment ot tho county court, re moves tho lmpllod limitation ot seven on tho number of Justices ot tho su- promo court, removes tho snlary Urn It fixed for membors ot tho supremo bench now avoided by allowing ex tra compensation to tho Judges for holding court in Eastorn Oregon, eliminates tho sections crentlng tho ofllces ot clork, sheriff nud prosecut ing uttoruoy, eliminates the provi sion authorizing tho governor to re movo a supremo Judgo or prosecut ing attorney upon legislative Joint re solutions, pormlts verdicts by threo fourth of tho Jury In civil cases and In reforming proceduro on appeals and changing Jurisdictional features of thovpresent laws apparently seeks to ollmlnnto techncal obstructions In litigation. Tho now amondmont continues the existing courts, Jurisdiction nnd Judi cial system, excopt bo far us express ly changed by tho nmondment, until otherwise provided by lnw. It Is tho apparont Intont that tho county court, clork, sheriff and prosocutlng attor ney ahnll exist until n chango Is mnde by law. The amendment, In this respect, probably paves the way for submission of a commission form of county govornmont, to tho voters by Initintivo or to tho legislative as sembly, by tho framera of tho amend ment. Primaries Chooso Delegates. The presidential primary bill may mean tho end of political conventions in Oregon, excopt such ns may be hold by minority parties not affected by the direct primary law. Tho major parties now meet In convention only to elect delegates to National conven tions and draft party platforms. Un dor tho now law national delegates will bo chosen by a proportional rep resentation plan by tho voters direct. I2ach voter will voto for ono candi date. In the same primary election the voters cholco for presidential nnd vice-presidential candidates of hi? party will be expressed and candl-; dates for presidential oloctor will also, be named by proportional direct prl mary vote, i .Delegates (to national conventions will havo their expenses paid up to tftft aanli Y).1.t Il4.. .ULl. .1 I" vuv.44, uuiiwiljr HfclUB 1U IUUI Teaeral election' campaign pamphlet I Tho hlghont mnjority polled for or ngnlnst nny measuro wns on tho bill providing thnt linker county should pay $1,000 yearly to tho Judgo of tho Klghth Judicial District In nd- dltlon to the nnntinl salary of $3,000 received by him from tho Btnto.
