There will be eleven measures on the November
ballot.
The first is the compulsory voting and registration
amendment. It is a meritorious act.
The second is a constitutional amendment regulat
ing legislative sessions and the payment o f legislators.
If it would improve the “ quality” o f the legislature we
would certainly vote for this amendment.
The third is the oleomargine bill. It is too strong
and should be defeated.
The fourth is the single tax amendment. It is for
the voter to decide whether or not single tax is meritor
ious enough to warrant a trial.
The fifth provides that the terms o f county officers
shall be four years instead o f two. This proposal would
be all right if we would) cut out the politics and elect
county officials on merit.
The sixth is the port o f Portland bill. Let Portland
decide this question. The outside is interested only in
directly.
The seventh is the anti-compulsory vaccination
amendment. It was initiated by those who believe the
preventative is worse than the disease. The medical pro
fession is strongly opposed to its adoption.
The eighth is the amendment fixing the legal rate of
interest. This measure should be defeated. It could be
called a bill to drive capital and industry out o f the
state.
The ninth is tin1 Roosevelt bird refuge measure
THE B H Y M IN G SU M M ABIST
Sadie has made some jigmaree,
She read it in a paper,
Put a pinch o f salt in a gallon pail
And fill it up with vapor;
Then when it’s burned on th$ upper side,
Add the sweets to sweet it,
Being thru
The next to do
Is for some poor cus3 to eat it.
Society folks have many dates
For dance and big card parties,
There are empty seats in every church,
Take that now, you smarties!
The weather is so changeable,
W e ’re freezing and perspiring,
But its a jo y in life
To have a wife
Each morning do the firing.
Some of the boys have started out,
They think to gun a deer,
While others around the town
Can’t leave the ones that’s here;
Sooner or later the matrimonial bug,
Gets in each man’s bonnet,
Sometimes it ’s well,
Sometimes its ------ ,
And here we end this sonnet.
Very good and should be
adopted.
The tenth provides for a
divided legislative session.
This is a most excellent
measure and there is but lit
tle opposition to it.
'Phe eleventh is the state
market commission
bill.
The plan is worthy o f trial.

says the G ood Judge
That you are getting full
value for your money
when you use this class of
tobacco.
The good, rich, real to
bacco taste lasts so long,
you don’t need a fresh
chew nearly as often—nor
do you need so big a chew
as you did with the ordi
nary kind.
Any man who has used the
Real Tobacco Chew will
tell you that.

GLEN C. SMITH,
DO YOU R
Do you live in Independence?
Then why not patronize her indus
tries. Eat Liberty bread.
To become a real port, a 30 foot channel must be dredged in the Columbia
and Willamette Bivers from Portland to the Pacific Ocean. This will enable
farmers, stockmen and lumbermen in the interior of the state to reach the
markets of the world at a lower freight rate and greater profit to themselves.
The taxing and bonding power to make these improvements can be
granted the Port o f Portland only by the people o f the state. You and every
other citizen will benefit if you, on November second,
For the past eight years this Bank has given
particular attention to the business o f farm
ers.
W e have helped many over the rough
places and have aided many more in buying
farms o f their own.

Miss Ruth Girard has en
tered Behnke-Walker Busi
ness college in Portland.
Her work was so satisfac
tory that she was placed in
Intermediate at the begin
ning.
I f you owned a store you could not make a big success unless your busi
ness methods were as modern as your competitors! Unless Oregon develops
her shipping facilities she cannot expect to get her share of the world’s busi
ness. It rests with the citizens of this state whether Oregon shall develop her
wonderful resources and reach out for bigger markets, or remain practically
an inland state.
Farmers’ Business
W e are prepared to extend you every aid
within legitimate banking practice. Gome
in at any time and talk over your affairs
with us. You are always welcome.
