Are You Patriotic? Then Vote'
On November 4lh a National Presidential
Election will be held in tbe United Stales. The
only right way to select a President (and other
executives) is for everyone to signify his ot
her choice. Consider it a sacred duty to your
country to go to the polls and cast your vote.

Municipal hconomy
All vill itjficc that economy in municipal administra
tion is. to lie admired, hut is tlioie not such a thing as
H'oinp; too Htronjf on economy, making it false economy?
'Especially is this true in a growing city. Take La
' Orantle for the last ten years, for instance. We have held
h high place in economy of administration in the stale,

wt-aring out of its plnnt, this city is now confronted with
n good many things that must be done. ,
The new city administration, whoever may he elected,
will confront the rebuilding of a water system. The same
imiiiimniiiiiKm win in mut, jaco 10 1IIC0 Willi DtllKllllg new
teptic tanks and revising the sewer system of the city.
It will also meet the dire necessity of better street light
ing. There are many more miles of pavement which will
necessitate increased expense in the street cleaning de
. finrtmont. If La Grande is to have a municipal auto park
worthy, of the .tname, the new administration will find a
jilace there where considerable money must be spent.
There are other things. We have but ennumoiated the
largest undertakings which must be met. We say must,!
because in this day no city can grow and attract people!
unless all or the things mentioned are modern and worth
while.

Jake Gullini; pulled the first locomotive into this valley,

How things have changed. To think Unit I would ever
stand and wait for a penny in change amuses me."
Then he told iiliout the first pennies that ever came

Why you should help them S
The Workmen's Compulsory fsMS:.
Compensation Amendment.
: Jnlcss . this reactionary amendment It defeated
Oregon's working people will lose the sure protection
of the present good compensation law. In its placs
they will be compelled to submit to a three-man politi
cal commission, whoso powers will be FINAL. No
matter how unfairly it may treat injured working
people or their dependents, our workers will NOT
have tlie right to appeal to an AMERICAN JURY
for a square deal, as they now have.
Forces our Farmers In
Under the present compensation act, farmers can
come under it if they desire. Under the proposed
amendment they could BE FORCED IN and would
be COMPELLED to pay money into the state fund
in ADDITION TO THEIR PRESENT TAXES.
Dictation with No Appeal
J
The commission would be ABOVE THE LAW. It
could make its own law; be its own judge and jury.
Industry, our farmers and our working people would
be helpless because the commission's decisions would
be FINAL and non-appealable.
Medical Trust Created
The amendment specfically forbids medical or sur
gical treatment for. crippled workmen, except by
doctors selected by the commission and under its
uanopolistic controL
Wrecks a Good Law
The amendment was initiated by professional agita
tors of Portland. If enacted it will mark the return
of the old system of bitter lawsuits and ambulance
chasing lawyers. It will wreck the present good law,
which extends certain protection to industry and our
working people.
