SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
At this time, with the election but
a few days distant, the question of
iwoom to vote for to represent Ore
gon in the upper house of congress
must be met.
Of Ave candidates running Selling,
Bourne, Lane, Clarke and Paget
it seems there Is one place to put
the fight and that Is between Selling
and Bourne. Clarke 'will have some
strength but not enough to be in the
foremost of the battle) Lane did have
strength, but since .the attitude'. a3
aued by Chamberlain and other prom
Inent Democrats toward Bourne -the
Lane strength has split and Bourue
Is receiving plenty of Democrats to
Insure Lane a sure loser.
Now the fight rests between Selling
and Bourne the one a real friend n?
the people and the other an alleged
friend tor office only. A comparison
of these two candidates seems un
necessary. All remember Bourne as
the child of fortune; of his entry into
Oregon politics; of bis holdup legis
lature; of his cry for purity thus rid
ing Into office by a small plurality
li years ago. The life Jonathan
Bourne has led should not be men
tioned in the same breath as that
of Ben Selling; when you get down
to facts. Air. Voter.
Ben Selling as the citizen: as toe
husband and father; 'as the business
mas is a man among men. His chai
Ity work alone should put him bi
high In the minds of the people tbu
they would not think of him wlien
they thought of Bourne. And th.it
work of charity Is not for publica
tion. Only those who know Ben Sel
ling intimately know of his great
work for thorn "who have nut been so
fortunate as hhnself in this wot Id's
success. The room in the hospital he
niaintalns. the room In the mid Fnlk
borne, the many direct donations this
uan mages constantly coupled with
the extraordinary charity by Mrs.
Belling makes those who hnva ,--
fo.iai acquaintance warm friends of
uoin .ir. ana curs, selling.
Bourne has nothine tn .-v nmnnrt

zenship. He is only technically a
resident. His property interest,! nro

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM.
Teaching the farmers the necessity
of accurate bookkeeping methods If
another step the government Is taklns
in trying to make the farms in this
couiitry spell efficiency plus.
For this purposes "bulletin Is being
sent 'out from the department of ag
riculture, dealing with .the. necessity
of making the farm pay. from a- busi
ness standpoint. .
Farmers are asked to consider what
It costs to produce farm- products, and
then asked to find out for themselves
what profit is made on them by sol
ling at market prices.
The following statement Is -signifi
cant: J,
"The problem of the farmer Is to
reset conditions on his own farm in a
way which will give him the greatest
net returns for bis labor and the use
of his capital. He should receive In
terest on his capital as well as wages
for his labor, but owing to the lack
of proper records few farmers know
what wages they actually receive.
There Is reason to ; believe that .the
majority of farmers are really living
on the Interest of their investments
rather than on the profits of their
farms."
Three ' valuable suggealons are of
fered. These are: v '.'
1. Consider as one unit all that
may be termed real extate, as land,
farm 'buildings, fences, ditches etc.
whether the farm is rented or owned
by the operator.
'2. Do not consider that the farmer
or his family receive anything for
their lnhor unless they are pnld in

PIERCE ON SINGLE TAX.
SBSaSSMSSSSBSB H
Hot Lake, Ore., Oct. 31. tTo the
EdttoD-rrbe voters of Oregon are
called on to vote upon many measures
at this electlpn but In my opinion m
measure Is so dangerous as the oni
generally known as the "Single Tax1
or, "Land Tax"' measure. This hil
Is but the entering wedge by which
all lands will be nracticallv cniifl.9t.
ed. As the bill now reads It seems
to attack the large land owner onlv,
but It Is not difficult to see that the
burden will soon fall upon the owner
as well, as It Is evident that the land
must oear tne nurden of the govern
ment and as soon as the large hold
ings are broken up the smaller tracts
must pay the tax. The very founda
tion of government Is endangered by
this lirOlWSPtt till), hwinu all .nv.

such a dreamer? If you wish to At
feat this measur e vote 365 No., when
you enter the booth election day.
Another proposed bill which is de
serving of your consideration is the
one calculated to restore to the con
stitution of the state the words "Tax
ation shall be equal .and uniform
throughout the state." These words
were by Implication repealed two vear

vote 3fi.'. No., and 308. Yes. The In
justice of the one nnd the tnatlre nf
the other will certainly appeal to
eery thinking voter. Read the
measures carefully.
Yours very Respectfully.

being Just across the road east from
the Dornberger orchard, I have re
ceived much valuable Information
from him in regards to pruning and
shaping the trees. My 40 acres is
noted for being a very choice piece
of land. 1 intend to .build a concrete
packing and storage plant on the East
end of my land as there Is a railroad
siding there, and by so doing would
cut down the expense In handling
the crop and enhance the value of the
land greatly.

Politics and Politicians.
The Progressives and Democrats of
Rhode Island hnve combined to wrest
control of the legislature from the
Republicans, with a view of prevent
ing the election of a Republican 1'n
ited States senator.
Key Plttman, who has been named
as the choice of the Democrats of Ne
vada for United States senator, is a
grand-nephew of Francis Scott- Key.
who Vrote' "The Star Spangled ' Ban
ner." , Jn the coming election in Connecti
cut the Socialist party will have can
didates in every one of the 35 senator
ial districts in the state and candi
dates for representatives tn "5 towns
and cities. Candidates for Congress
and for all state- offices also have
been named.
. Miss Anna Agnes Muloy.of Everett
is the candidate of the Socialist party
for governor of the state of Washing
ton in the coming election. Miss Ma
loy Is believed to be the only woman
ever nominated for the office of chief
executivie of any of the states.
By no means all the men of twenty
one In the country are qualified voters
Practically every state bars convicts
and as there are about 100,000 con
victs in the prisons of the country,
the election day on Nov. 5 will mean
nothing to a whole army of them.
In addition to convicts some of ' the
states deny the right of suffrage to
the Insane' to non-taxpayers, paup
ers and United States soldiers and
sailors. . '

While a guest at a Chlcaco hntl
