VOTE NO.
. Until schemers realize that only J.he
most meritorious measures have any
chance whatever of receiving the sup
port of the people It will be a safe
rule to vote against any and every
measure that you are not thoroughly
convinced should become a law. At
the coming June election there are a
number of proposed measures that
are purely local in their nature to
Illustrate, the division of Wasco coun
ty. As a matter of fact, there should
not be a single vote cast for that sub'
division by a single county outside of
the county directly Interested. There
are other similar measures. The Inl
tlatlve can be abused and is being
abused now, but a few crushing de
feats by the people will serve notice
that just because a proposed bill gets
on the ballot that it Is not necessarily
worthy of suffrage. If you do iiot
know what you are voting for, vote
"No." This Is a liberty that few
tates in any republic enjoy. That f
Introducing and voting upon laws di
rect. This Is suffrage in its hlgheiit
sense, but It must be remembered
that this Implies a higher duty of
citizenship. Heretofore this responsi
bility was delegated to the Individual
members of the legislature; now the
voters are ' the legislature, with full
power to Introduce and make and un
make laws. ' Powers that were hardly
thought possible BO years ago. A
dangerous power, In fact, unless the
great majority of the voters meet the
new condition with a boldness and
earnestness that such powers imply.
Jt Is just possible that our people
will have to pass a few notoriously,
vicious laws before they realise the
responsibility of their ballot. The
people of Oregon have as yet mad no
blunders, no more so than have our
previous legislatures. It will require
' a little time for us all to measure up
to our duties, but we will. There Is
ft desire In some quarters to throw
discredit upon the Initiative and ref
erendum law; there is the same de
sire to repeal the primary Jaw, but it
la largely from the would-be political
bosses who were completely dethroned
by the new change.
( The alfalfa crop Is extending Its
area away to the north. In North
Pakota. up near to the Cnnadlan
boundary, many are beginning to sow
It and with encouraging success. The
experience with It during the past
two or three seasons where It has
been tiled. Is uf the most encourag
ing character. Some fitrmers claim
they have pastured It In the autumn
the first season, nnd that the plants,
notwithstanding, have wintered well.
It would seem to be true of alfalfa

New York, Feb. 7. J. P. Morgan
has been nominated for the presl-
dency of the United States by Carroll
Brewster, a Pennsylvania lawyer of
some prominence. Brewster believes
that oMrgan should be the head of
new party. He argues that Mogran
would have the confidence of the fl
nanclal element and conservative
class and as a financial expert could
restore good times. Otherwise Brews

For months she has been worrying,

There is room for all and to spare in Union county. Every day large holdings
are being subdivided and thereby opportunity is given those who wish to purchase choice
fruit tracts or who desire to farm on a small scale. Nowhere in the state can so many
desirable selections be made, or where there is such an opportunity for individual selection.
If you are looking for a fruit tract, hay ranch, a wheat farm, a dairy ranch or poul
try farm or even a cattle ranch, come to Union county. You will find exactly what you
have been looking for and at a price you can afford to pay. The following illustration
will explain better than words just the kind of prosperity that is in store for you if you
cast your lot with the citizens of Union county.
