K. AIKEN, Managing Editor 8UU80mi"nON......Ono Year, J2.U0 1IK HUltU TO VOXK Kuxt Tucmlay, .lection day, la n day of reckoning. It Is tliu day when tliu American ptoplo will gather at tho polls u ml express their will on many important questions, whon thoy will dotcrmlna what Bhall ho tho policy of this groat government toward tho other nations of tho world. v. To hnvo tho prlTltcgo to pass Judg ment on such vital mutters Is tho su premo right of Americans. It Is a prlvllogo to bo coveted and should ho exorcised In n sober spirit of right eousness. No frlvlloun motive should bo considered. No mere per gonal or party question should befog tho mind of tho voter. Every voto should bo east according to con science of tho elector. Bvory votor should vote. That Is his or her duty, ns well as his or hnr prlvllcgo. It tnVcs but a few min utes to cast one's bsllott, nnd the stato has tho right, asking as Utile ns It does of tho Average cltlren each four years, to Insist upon the exer cise of thnt franchise. Tho Argus CAnnot too strongly tirgo Us reader to vote no mntter what their party connection may bo wo urge one and all who have the right and duty to vote to exercise that right nnd porform that duty. In no other way can thoso who will bo elected bo so cortnln of securing a mnndnto from the people to direct tholr courio of action during tho noxt four yonrs. Thoroforo by all moans, pnuio for a fow momonta botwoen now nnd noxt Tuoiday to consider tho Issues of the campaign, and go to tho polls on election day and cast your ballot na that rotloctlon dlrocts you assured that whother you will bo ono of tho majority, or one of the minority, all Americans wlU Ac cept tho result as tho dictum of the American pooplo nnd tho government nt Washington will function for nil. TIIV TI1IJ DIVIDKI) HUSSION Thoro Is nmplo ronson to fool that a chnngo In tho pronont rogulntlonH of tho loglslnturo should bo changed. ThoroV nro many nrgumonts thnt might ho sot forth to sustain nn Af firmative voto on tho dlvtdod session bill Inltlntod by tho Stnto Tax Payors longuo. Tho first nnd most potent Is that It will glvo tlmo during which tho pooplo of Orogon may bo madn ac quainted with what tho legislator havo In mind for tholr regulations, And tho peoplo cort'nlnly aro ontltlod to know what Is going to bo wrltton Into tho statuto books. Hut that Is not tho only ro.ison. It should, if properly handled result In gottlng bettor laws, thru giving tho legislators thomsolvoj tlmo in which to consider the measureH be fore them. Undor tho present system nil tho work of tho legislature, prac tically spoaklng Is dono In tho com mlttoo rooms. If tho commltteo re port Is favorable, many legislators volo yos, If unfavorable they voto no. In othorwords thoro are so many matters placod before the law makers In tho short 40 day session that tbey cannot personally give attention to most of them, thoy aro compelled to act upon the commlttoo reports, othorwlso they would got nothing dono. The divided session will ob vlato this to a marked degree. I)o foro tho end of tho first session they will hnvo tho commltteo reports and will bo ablo to examine them. They will ho ablo to discover, whether or not any ultorlur motlvo or sinister In fluence Is nt work to socuro tho ptiB sago of any measure and .generally bo ablo to correct many mistakes that aro now made. Thru tho press tho peoplo will be ablo to sccuro Information concern ing proposed bills, for nt proscnt nono of tho nowspapcrs of tho stato can havo any real Idea of what Is transpiring at Salem, and can not pass this Information along to tholr rcadors. IjIct i'OiitIjANd aiiow Tho peoplo havo an opportunity to oxprons their good will toward Port land by voting for the consolidation bill which will permit tho Port of Portland to oxcrclso functions now beyond Its Jurisdiction, and will con solidate tho management of the ship ping affairs In tho stato's ono largo port. Tho lmportanco of nn adequate port for tho coinmorco of Oregon can not bo over, estimated. It Is vitally Important to the people of Oregon that tho Port of Portland keep paco with tho growth of the stato and thorcforo wo urgo our readers to glvo 310 an ntflrmatlvu voto. AMEND T1IIJ OITV CHAKTKIt Ontario has reached a poh.t whero Its present charter Is Inndequnto to tho business of government. This charter should bo amended to keep paco with tho growth of this city. KNDOILSi: TUB MHUAHY Ontario has a public library that serves not only tho peoplo of tho city but of tho county as well. To porform that servlco requires tho vrork of two peoplo, tho librarian nnd nn nstriBtnnt. Tho County con tributes to tho support of tho in stitution whllo what tho city haB paid will not oven meet tho cost ot an as sistant librarian, lot alone purchas ing books, and fuel nnd meeting tho Tho proposed amendments have .cost of lighting and Janitor servlco. mado my men who havo ccnslderod the situation for a long time. They ropresont their best Judgmont on what should bo dono, and Tho Argus bollevca that since a change Is nec essary and this constructive program la BOt forth that It deserves u trial. Ontario folks nro not ntggnrdly. Thoy want tholr Institutions to bo In a position to give service. Tho servlco ot tho library has hoen moro than doublod, and that Is why tho measure to bo voted on for the li brary's relief should be approved. "Permanent as the Pyramids" CONCRETE PRODUCTS .

Fordson Farm Tractor Tho Frdson cuts the cost of preparing land almost to half of what it cost with horses. But even moro important is tho fact that tho Fordson saves from thirty to fifty percent of tho fanner's timo. And iimo saved getting fields in slmpo to plant in tho proper soason; getting things dono whon thoy should bo done moans money to tho farmer. Besides it helps greatly in solving the labor problem. m As over, tho machine way is proving moro efficient faster, easier than tho old way. In tho factory, tho machine increases production, saves labor pro duces more at loss cost. And that is what tho Fordson does on the farm. Tho Fordson way is tho machiuo way of farming. Besides it helps tho labor problem, Tho Fordson 's first cost is low; and the after or operating cost is low. It is a compact, easily handled tractor, backed by tho greatest tractor service or ganization in the world. Wo aro Fordson dealors.
