The mnterliil taken to Salem ami hlblt'd In Hi" school contest was nil from tin work of the Ontario schools. The prize of sixty-five dollars was given for a county exhibit and that Is why It was not entered as an On tario exhibit. Mr. I.ackay say- there is no iiicHllon but what the same ex i It lt at Salem as shown b the On tarlo schools at the Malheur count) fair would hae taken the first prize It Is probably that next year some of the other schools or the county may see fit to seiel along something for the exhibit.

As the highest representa tive of the people's Interests It Is the duty of the Qovernor to stand between the people and the legislature as the guardian of the people's Intereats.

The single-item veto Itself Is u necessity of the first Importance." WHY DESTROY the INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF OREGON? That's what the so-called "Water Front" bills, Num bers 328 and 330 on the ballot, will do if passed at the November election. Why make it impossible to build saw mills or any other industrial, labor-producing plants on the rivers or bays of Oregon? That's what the passage of these bills will do. Why cripple the development of our great timber re sources; why cripple all future manufacturing in Ore gon? That's what will take place if the people vote "yes" on numbers 328 and 330. Why lock up the thousands of acres of over-flow lands bordering upon the navigable waters of the State and its miles of water front for the benefit of "future generations;" why not let the present generation have some of the benefit from the use of these lands? Industries of all kinds will be driven from Oregon and intending investors will turn their backs upon the State if these so-called "Water Front" bills be come laws. That is why every man, woman and child in Oregon will be adver sely affected if these bills are passed by the people in November. Oregon needs outside capitol to develop its great natural resources but we will drive it away if we pass Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot at the November election. If these so-called "Water Front" bills are passed by the people, a vast amount of property will be withdrawn from taxation in this State and this great burden will be thrown upon the rest of the, taxable property, resulting in a heavy increase in everybody's taxes. These bills are vicious; they are destructive of the very best interests of the State; they ought never to become laws. The way to defeat them is to vote "NO" 329 and 331.
