On Novombor 2nd next tho voters
of Oregon nro to voto on tho nbovo
mcasuro as well as otbors. Tlio bal
lot tltlo is misleading In that tlio
legal Interest rates nro already fix
ed by statuto. Tho monsuro now
under consideration reduces tlio max
imum contract Itcrcsot rnto to G
and tho legal rnto to 4ft which nil
Intelligent pooplo will ngrco Is en-
tlcrly too low nt tho present tlmo.
As nn nftcrmnth of tho trouhlcous
times wlijch tho world tins been go
ing through monoy Is In great de
mnnd to rclmbllltato our factories
on n ponco ImbIb, to rcpnlr our rail
roads and their cqulpmont ns well
ns mnko oxtonslons to dovop now ills
trlcts to enro for our population In
creasing nt tho rnto of ono million
pcoplo each year and to build now
homos nnd repair old houses for our
Increasing city population. All this
has to bo dono largely on credit nnd
It is n domnnd for monoy thnt will
extend over n porlod of years. If
this moasuro Is mndo Into n law what
nro your prospects to flnnnco your
needs? How many londors will Al
low tholr monoy to romnin In your
hands nt G Interest when thoy enn
got a much largor rnto olsowhoro?
Tho only result will bo tho loss of
your farm, tho loss of your homo or
tho loss of your business.
It you do not owo monoy you nro

monoy nt 5 whon you am got a
much larger return by loaning In

Wo hnvo all worked hard to dovel-

VOTI3 NO.
NO HXTANOMN'O AM.IANCRS
Tho tlmo lms not yet como, nnd
wo trust novor will como, whon Am
ericans will forgot tho advices of
Wnshtngtdn nnd Jefferson, of Mon
roo nnd of Clovolund and forsnko tho
traditional policies of our govern
ment. Americans, nt least tlioso of ono
or moro generations removed from
Europo do not nnd cannot undorstnud
tho rcmoto onuses of European dls
conttons, nnd therefore wo nro not
compotcnt to tnko a hand lit their
settlements.
Wo bold too thnt Europeans nro
not conversant with Amorlcnn nf
falrs, nor nro they In sympathy with
mnny of our most chorlshed Institu
tions. And thnt being truo wo do
not want them to Intorfor with our
ntfalrs.
This Indocd thoy will do, If tho
United Stntcs ontcrs to league of nn
tions ns nt prcsont constituted. If
tlio proponents of tho lenguo of na
tions nro'slnccro In tholr statement
that tho American Congress will bo
tho final Judgo when our armies nnd
navy will bo cnlled upon to tnko pnrt
In n foreign war, why were they not
willing that that very slmplo nnd
plain rcsorvatlon to tho lenguo coven
ant should bo ndoptcd?
Thnt Is tho question? Until they
nro willing to ndmlt thnt tho consti
tution of tho United States shnll ro
mnin tho supremo guhfo for Amorl
cnn conduct in foreign nffnlrs we
wnnt nothing whntovcr to do with
tho so cnlled lenguo of nations.
To mnko thnt position porfectly
clear n president and n scnato com
mitted to thnt doflnlto policy Is tho
ono hopo of tho Amorlcnn pcoplo.
Tho Issuo is clearly draw and thoro
should bo no wabbling on thnt ques
tion. Tho bnttlo must lit fought all
along tlio lino from tho Whlto House
to tho Sonnto chamber. Oregon's duty
so far as republicans nro concerned
Is to return n Republican senator;
whllo if tho democratic contention In
to prevail, nnd It Is tho wish of tho
pooplo of Oregon to ontor tbn lenguo
nnd follow tho ndvlso of Oovornor
Cox, thon n domocrntlc senator
should bo tho choice
This quostlnn Is to Important thnt
It transcends porsonnlltlcs, It Is n
fundamental decision of American
policy. Wo therefore urge our read
ers to mnko plain tholr decision nnd
either voto a republican president
nnd n republican senator or n demo
cratic prosldont nnd n domocrntlc
senator. No other voto can, In this
campaign bo deemed n logical ono.

Wo wonder whnt tho people of

ple of Oregon that, limy should 1h

vicious bills over 1'iltnto.l In Oregon?
Has li becomo a crime In Oregon lo
scok tho development of Its re

bars on reclamation?
Is Oregon going to say to the
werld: "Wo want migratory birds
not n permanent population of pros

of tho stnto will bo doing If they ap

ty whllo ostensibly protected, nro In

Tho pooplo of Oregon should go
slow In coding Innd to tho fodornl
government. What happened In the
Klnmnth luko controversy when the
Htnto gavo tho federal officials Juris

Ah Senator Chnmborlaln said In

Tho rod tnpo and buroaucrntfc

Tho only snfo course for tho pooplo

Tho roason for this moasuro Is tho
