The Ilcppner Gazette F.htpWishP'' Varch SO. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Warnoek Entered at the Postoffice at Heppner Oregon, as fconct-clnsi matter. Thursday March 29, 1906 JOXATHA BOl'ItSE, JR. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. is becom ing to be a well known man in the state of Oregon. No one in the history of the state has ever made a more active campaign than Mr. Bourne is now making, but this is characteristic of the man. His candidacy is somewhat of a 6tudy. In the first place his methods show well planned campaign pro cedure and leadership. In the lines that others are following, he generally goes them one better. He buys newspaper space and plenty of it and there is a certain ring in what he has to say in which no one can be mistaken in what he means. Jonathan Bourne is not strad. dling any question or issue. He says what ha means and means what he says. Tht he is a poli tician no one can deny. In fact he is a past master in politics. A dandy. But wait a minute, we are all politicians to a more or less extent. Are not the other candidates poli ticians also? Now if Bourne can show them a few new tricks in the free for all game, is it not all right to have the ability to excel in any legitimate profession. Yes, but Bourne has money. To be sure, and be is not Afraid to let loose ol a little of it. He is as liberal with his money as he is with his energy in the effort to carry his point. What is Bourne spending his money for? The answer is, pub licity. Nothing more, Dothing less. He wants to be understood. He is attempting to impress his views upon every man in Oregon, who can vote. It is impossible to do this personally and he is em ploying tin newspapers and the mails and he is willing to . ay the price. If he should be sent to Washing ton, would tuch an active man go to sleep there. He would be a great worker, he could tot be otherwise. His platform is eound and reli able. He has always been an advocate of the direct primary law, and to day he is tin champion of what the people said they wanted at the last election. law and got on the ticket in ordr that the whole people can have a chance to decide in the selection of the candidates. Every man who gets on the ticket by petition after the primaries will evade the spirit and intent of the direct primary law. Judge Fee, of Pendleton is prominently spoken of as the prob able successor to V. C. Bristol as United States District Attorney. Judge Fee's appointment would be very acceptable to the people of Eastern Oregon. Famine in Japan is now a greater enemy than Russia ever was. It is said that 1.000.000 DeoDie are starving owing to crop failures. The railroads in England are putting on ladies' smoking cars The equal suffrage movement is spreading. OREGON IS BARRED. Concluded from page 1. monev?" and the assertion made that The fact that candidates for state and county offices are com pelled to circulatj petitions in order to get on the ticket is a lame part of the primary law. In fact it is simply a troublesome farce. Take for instance in this county, where there was a big re publican majority at the last con gressional election, and the vote on congressman is the basis from which the two per cent, of voters is taken for the candidates peti tions for a county office, it ie necessary to file four petitions con taining 16 names. Who could not go out aDd get 16 names on a peti tion. It is just this much trouble without a single redeeming feature. the livettock sanitary fax had all been used up and that they were issuing deficiency warrants. Dr. Noble, the state veterinarian, has submitted the following figures: The livestock sanitary tax amounted to a little over $13,000 and there is to the credit of that fund now $7914.65 and $1413 62 yet to be appropriated to that fund, giving a balance yet unused of $9328 27. All the claims against the fund for the first year unpaid amount to $SS27 80, which will leave a balanoe of $500.47 after all bills are paid. These bills have not been paid as promptly as they should, but the legis lature made no appropriation to carry on the work until the tax was available and eoonomy bad to be practiced in all cases. When the bill was introduced into the legislature it provided for a tax of three mills on the dollar on all live stock, which would have created a tund of Dearly $24,000. Friends of the bill claimed that this would not be enough to carry on the work properly. When the legislature cut the tax on all livestock but sheep to three-quarters of a mill and reduced the revenue to 813,000, a deficiency was excepted, but has not been created for the first vear. Dr. Noble and the livestock sanitary board have reason to feel proud of the financial showing, as this was te first year and the expenses were a great deal heavier than they will te in the future. One of the difficulties with which thev had to contend was that there was little money to pay the expenses until the tax of 1905 was paid and available and then the litigation in regard to the constitu tionality of the law tie i up the money until the supreme court decided it.

He looks fur'her, however and finds that in sections 1 and 8 of tn primary law there are provisions which make the Australian balloi law apuic- for any elector who is no', registered in the prrcinct in which tie applies to vote to use blanic "A," and vote if otherwise qualified. Section 28 of the diiect primary 1 w eavs that "nothing contain ed in this law shall be construed to de prive any elecor of the right to register and vo'd at anv primary nominating election requind by this law on his complying with tbe Kpecial provisions of this law in the same manner that he is permitted by the general laws to regis ter and vote at a general election " Construing the law as a whole, tbe attorney-general finds that the elector mm oualifv bv using blank "A" on election day, and hence that county clerks should send out such blanks with the ballot boxes and pollbooks.
