There are three amendments to the city charter proposed and published in this paper today that the voter should seriously consider enacting into law. They are the Ellis amendment to get competition in paving, the non-partisan primary for city elections, and the limitation on city contracts to give home laborers preference. The Ellis amendment is taken f rona the Portland charter, and i3 considered to have practical value. The non-partisan primary is to do away with holding primar-. ies on Saturday afternoon, and allowing every citizen a right to take part in the primary. It is the most advanced and practical city election system yet invented, and there is no sense in keeping the present foolish and prohibitory primary system. The amendment to give Salem residents and Salem team sters the preference on all city work ought not to be voted against by any man who respects homes and labor. In many cities the Socialist party demands the employment of resident laborers at eight hours at $2.50 per day, and the idea should receive the support of every laboring man, and friend of labor. CREEPING ON TO PATERNALISM. Those who advocate commissions, boards, directorates for public service, and office-jobbing generally do not realize how their schemes promote paternalism. They cannot realize how, under such policies, our country is creeping along to the same condition .of Germany, Russia and other European countries. In those paternalistic monarchies there are about two officials for every property owner, and the landed aristocracy and the official aristocracy join hands for plunder. The serf class that has to bear the whole load can sweat or immigrate and that makes times better for the salary drawing class, and for those who have titles. They have more to plunder from, and less poor devils who are clamoring for voting rightsand for an existence. We know the registration of stallions and jacks has been a pet hobby of certain gentlemen for many years, and was by the last legislature enacted into law. The same principle could be extended to cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, cats and chickens, and we could have forty more boards to register everything but the voter. He has to go to his own expense and trouble to get to vote. The stallion and jack registration board takes exception to an editorial in this paper Saturday. They write the editor from Corvallis that if he will come up there they will explain the workings of the whole system. The secretary of the board is Ermine L. Potter, of Corvallis, and this paper printed his circular to the owner of horses and jacks. But it seems they cannot understand our protest against a tendency to having a thousand and one boards and commis sions. They say no one makes a cent out of the whole transaction and the men who came to Salem and lobbied the bill through the legislature did it solely for the public benefit. But it is just that procedure that insidiously fastens on the neck of the people the system of paternalism that ends in par asitic prostitution of the governmental functions of a free peo ple. Beyond the education of public teachers at public expense there is no excuse for the multiplication of the activities of the state in the line of stallion boards, jack boards, and inspectors of watering troughs, peanut stands and tamale manufacturers. X-RAYS AND SMILES. Gypsy Smith, according to the re ports of his work, ig more actor than ovangelist. In Met tho Indica tions are that he Is a genulno star actor. Tho superintendent of the Seattle schools has just, discovered that the high school pupils cannot spoil. This la something every business man know for yiNirs, but ev'n a school teacher will some times lay aside fads loud enough to let a real Idea get Into their think tanks. A French savant eaxmiulnga pre historic skull recently found, sap lontly arrives at tho conclusion, from the way the molars wt?re worn down, thnt the people of those days were great herb chewers. Ignoring the fact that the skull might have belonged to a reformer, or other pro fessional rag chewer, a Mayor Lachmund Is right. The city paying J7.50 a month for the use of a Jackscrew costing $2. SO it not even good public business. The court of commerce having been created to boss the interstate commerce commission, and see It makes no mistakes, evidently needs a court over It, to correct Its mis takes, and hat court would need one, too.

SALEM 8TEAH LAODBT 138-168 South Liberty Street WILLAMETTE ALL READY FOR BIG GAME . With only two days before the big game with Corvallis, the Willamette camp Is in the hardest of prepara tion. Every evening this week the boys have been out in great form and are showing the speed that a two weeks rest has given them. For the first time this year a healthful aggressive spirit is present, which bowls over the second team like they were men of straw. Captain Black well is beginning to show the class that boosted him for the all north west last year, and bad be been able to get Into the game earlier in the year, it would have been hard to find a better man for the center position. Willamette Is showing the true sportsmn spirit thfs year. In the face of overwhelming hard luck, not a word of discouragement has been expressed by either the coach or the members of the team and they are going Into the game at Corvallis Fri day with the determination to win. They are not underestimating the strength of their rivals for they know them to posess a fast and aggressive delegation of equally determined men, and which every way the score goes, the battle should he a royal one. The absence of Billy Booth at the quarter position will greatly handi cap the local boys. Anywhere with in 40 yards was close enough for him as the two goals he kicked over Cor vallis last year shows. Young Hol man, however, is doing . excellent work for a new man at the position and is imparting a confidence in the team that Billy never seemed able to engender. He gets the ball to the right place at the right time and follows It up with good interference. Coach Sweetland is a little du bious over his line. The men are good enough and heavy but they don't fight They don't seem to realize that they are there to work, to make holes, to break up plays and help push the ball over the final white line. If Bolt had the SDlrlt of Stearns, a little second team man, it wouldn't matter how many men were missing from the line because he would be able to spill a freight train. Watson is another man who needs his head rubbed in the sawdust, but look out when you do. McRae is the only heavy . man In the back field. Cummlngs, Rowland and Ersklne are good men but won't average over 148 or 150 pounds, and It takes quite an amount of speed to make up for 15 or '20 pounds, espec ially when a man that weighs that much more is just as fast as you are. Cummlngs, however. can squeeze through any obstacle that McRae can't get over, and If the quarter keeps his head, the people who are looking for Willamette to get beaten by a 30 to 0 score will be badly fooled. o MOVEMENT TO ABSORB THE OLD ILLIHEE n n n LTUUJWJS iSarsaparilla Acts directly and peculiarly on the blood; purifies, enriches and revitalizes it, and in this way builds up the whole sys tem.

Durbln was elected president; Wm. Brown, vice-president; Joseph Bnumgartner, treasurer, and Chas. K. Spaulding and Ed. L. Baker, trus tees. The subject of consolidation with the Elks' lodge was brought up for discussion and a committee of live, consisting of Ro'lln K. Page. Wm. Brown, A. N. Gilbert, Joseph Bnum. gartner and Theodore Roth, was ap pointed to confer with a like com mittee from tho Elks. The commitee is to report in two wo?ks. The surprise of the evening was the reading of a communication from a special committee of the Elks' lodge, offering the Illlheo club $1500 for its unexpired lease, and offering to buy Its furniture and fixtures at an inventory price. It was explained by prominent members of the Iodise that their membership now reached five hun dred and over, and the need of a club house was very gre;t. They arc the only Elks lodge In the state that had not its own club, and as the na tional convention of the order was to be held at Portland next year and special excursions would come to Sa- Llem, they must have a place to en tertain their friends. It has to se cure this club house, or build a new club house, and run it in competi tion with the Illlhe club.. They of. fered to take care of all members of the Illlhe club with memberships In their lodge. If they desired to Join, and make the club room a great center of hospitality, as the Illlhee club has been In the past. The committee of the Elks lodge was Gus Huckesteln, C .L. McN'ary, Jas. R.

WHAT WE DO CHAPTER 12 The Value of an Orchard Contrary to the usual idea prevalent amongthe majority of folks, many of whom are good business men, who have not looked into the matter carefully, there is no fixed value to an orchard. One could undoubtedly go outaround Salem and buy several good cows at $50 a piece, In. fact, that is about the average price, A very short time ago, the writer of this ad. witnessed an auction sale of 90 head of cattle at Waterloo, Iowa, The average time in which it took to sell each animal was not over five minutes and the cattle brought the owner an average of over $1 50 per head, , Why was the competition so keen for these cattle when ordinary cattle can be bough't any time? Simply because an extra goad article is hard to get and because it will pay a good income on the higher valuation. The man who puts his whole soul into raising the very best grade of cattle makes more money, and is entitled to make more money, because he produces an ani mal which will make more money for the purchaser. In determining the value of an orchard, or in purchasing an orchard, one must decide whether he wants an ordinary orchard, or whether he wants to own an orchard" of the very highest type that can be grown, Using the cattle illustration, you can have a "grade" orchard for you can have a "thoro bred" orchard, Returns depend upon what has been put into it, . , ; . We have in mind a young orchard in the .Willamette Valley which has had its second year of growth and has been carefully sprayed and. cultivated, but which will never make a valuable orchard simply because it has not been- properly pruned: It is headed too high, making the cost of picking the fruit excessive, and it has not been pruned "with any re gard to sunlight or air drainage, so this orchard instead of producing finely' colored fruit which sells readily at $1,50 to $2,00 per.box, will sell at 50c to 75c per box, Supposing the yield is only 150 boxes per acre, there will be a-loss to the owner of at least 75c a box or $112,50 per acre, which he should have had, is ten . per cent interest on $1125,00, or in other words, the owner of that orchard would be better'off to pay $1 125.00 per acre for a good orchard, than to have the orchard he Is growing we're it to cost nothing, We know of an orchard that is paying regularly to the owner 10 per cent on a valuation of $4,000,00 per acre, and -fhe has-been offered that for it several times. Other orchards do not pay 10 per cent on $500 per acre. Ihe difference in vaule is the difference between ordinary orchard work and the very highest type of Scientific Orchard Work, We claim ' to be building the latter type of orchards and defy anybody ,to show us one thing which we should do that we are not doing to make a "thorobred" orchard.
