County Official
Paper
Before the next issue of the.
Mist is published the voters of
the United States will have said
who shall control the affairs of
the Government for the next
four years. Whether it shall be
the democratic policy of free
trade or the Republican policy ot
probrtion. So far as the I'ro
jrressive party is concerned it
has already been defeated; that
is the so-called Progressive party
led by Mr. Roosevelt. It has
been conceded by all parties that
there is no chance for Roosevelt
to be elected, unless there should
happen to be a landslide, and
there is no possible chance for
that. So the real issue is wheth
er or not the Democratic party
'ed by Wilson shall be placed in
power or the Republican party
led y Taft shall airain pilot the
ship of state for another four
years of prosperity. That is the
only issue in this campaign. All
the talk of Progressive policies is
fr the purpose of catching votes,
for every man running is pro
Kressive so far as his idea of
Progress goes. For the great
body of Republicans who are
satisfied with the most prosper
ous times in the history of the
nation, with all departments of
Kovornment running smoothly
and legislation being enacted for
the benefit of the entire people.
Mr. Taft represents greater Pro
gressive policies than does either
of the other two men who are
claiming to be the real ProgresB-
jives. This is a time for reflect
ion on the part of every voter.
Call to your side the ever faith
ful wife who goes with you
through adversity and prosper
ity; consult with her as to your
needs. Call to mind the many
blessings that you and you re
have enjoyed under Republican
prosperity; note the many im
provements made by you in your
farm or home; count up the wag
es you have received under the
protective policy of the Republi
cans and then ask yourself
whether or not you will take a
chance on a change to a policy
that cannot help but bring on a
depression. There can be no de
nying the fact that a change such
as is proposed by the Democratic
party will bring on hard times,
even if their policy is correct.
There can be no such radical
change in the policy f govern
ment as is proposed without a
resulting change in the policy of
the business interests of the
country. Money will bo called in
and it will be hard to get hold of
until conditions have adjusted
themselves to the new condition.
Of course the Republicans do not
believe that Freo Trade will re
duce the cost of living nor raise
the wages, but on the contrary
do believe that it will at let.st re
duce the wages of the working
man and make business condi
tions in all lines dull and stag
nant. That is the whole ques
tion. You fellows who are tying
your hope to the Roosevelt party,
not one of you will My that you
have a chance of electing your
man and you every one will ad
mit that the chances are very
largely in favor of Wilson being
elected with . your man in the
field, so it behooves each and
every one of you who are sincere
in your ideas of Protection, to
cast asido your personal feelings
of high regard and respect for
Mr. Roosevelt and vote to give
yourselves the chance to make a
good living and have good times
by continuing in power the Grand
Party. This can only be done by
casting your ballot on next Tues
day for William Howard Taft.
On an extra page r the Mist
this wick n; -pears 'he I'.H1
w hich the voters will have to vote
j next Tuesday. It is some ballot
I too. It contains the names of all j
candidates on each ticket and al- j
I so some 37 measures to be decid-:
led by the people. The majority
I of the measures are like Greek or
China to a great many voters
and reference to the voters
,' pamphlet should be resorted to
before casting a vote on them.
There are a few however which
need no investigation, such as
'the woman still rage question and
the abolishment of capital pun
jishment. There is one referen
dum measure which should by all
means receive the careful con
sideration of the voter, the one
1 numbered 311 and 31.) which pro
j vides for enlarging the authority
'of the Railroad Commission so as
' to include all public utilities, such
! as street railways, telegraph and
I telephone companies and the like, i
This bill was passed by the last,
legislature and patterned after I
i the famous LaFollette law of!
Wisconsin, but a few of the Port
hand politicians think that the
state nt large does not need such
regulation and that Portland is
the only place in the state where
such a iaw is needed. The peo
ple are almost unanimous in their
belief that the Railroad Commis
sion ns at nrcsent constituted has
i been a great benefit to the peo
ple and has saved many thous
ands of dollars to shippers. There
can be no question about the tfli
ctenv and eood work of the com
mission. Rut these few job hunt-1
ers in the city of Portland think j
they should have a special com-,
mission to regulate liitir affairs:
and get them some more good fat j
positions and that the rest of the j
state ihould do likewise if they j
want any regulation of public)
utilities. The measure should re-i
ceive the undivided support of
every man who believes that
public utility corporations should
be regulated in the state.
