THE ENTERPRISE ADVOCATES POPULAR
GOVERN MEM
First, direct nominations, that the people may select
their public servants, instead of having them selected by a
few interested parties.
Second, the recall, that the people may dismiss such
public servants as have proved unworthy.
Third, the initiative, that the people may compel action
upon such legislation as they deem necessary.
Fourth, the referendum, that the people may accept or
reject legislation as they deem desirable, and that no public
servant shall grant a public franchise for private gain.
Fifth, a corrupt practices act, that will limit election
expenses to legitimate purposes, and make men and not
money the deciding-force in politics.
&IXTH, the election of senators by the people, and of
judges lor short terms, that no branch of the government
shall feel itself too far above the people.

LOOKING TOWARDS
THE GREAT WEST
Jersey,

Britain
A STATISTICIAN has figured out that the six northwestern
states of Idado, Washington, Oregon, Montana and North
and South Dakota have an aggregate area of 511,535 square miles,
or a territory larger than England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France
and the German Empire combined; that
it would make eleven states the size of
New York, sixty-nine like New
216 as big as Delaware and 435
size of Rhode Island. Montana alone is larger than Great
and Ireland by nearly 25,000 square miles.
Were this an unfertile desert land or trackless wilderness, its
enormous extent would have little significance, but the potent fact
remains that this is the richest in natural resources of any portion
of the country. It is fully spanned by three great trans-continental
lines of railroad and partially by several others. It is being
settled more rapidly than other portion of the country.
Rush of homeseekers into this territory this spring promises
to oe the greatest ever known, especially from the Mississippi and
w.asoun vauey regions. The heads of financial houses in Chicago
stimate that more money will find its way into this region this
yar than ever before.
TllO VtAl.r .nil! ...

The apple show at Spokane and Chicago and elsewhere, together
won uie iruit exhibit cars, containing northwestern products and
uraveung mrougn ind.ana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania
New York and other eastern states have aroused much interest.
More people come this year from the extreme eastern states
than for many years. These will include a large number of fruit
growers who seek here the larger opportunities of more favorable
conditions of soil and climate in this new land of promise.
Though the census shows that this portion of the country had
the greatest growth during the past ten years, it is evident that
the development of the next decade will equal or exceed that of
the period just past.
Due to the building activity and abundant indication of a wnn.
derful future growth, the city of Vale is attracting more outside
attention this spring than at almost any time in its history. It is
a common expression among all visitors to hear, "Vale certainly
looks good to me." Building of the Oregon Eastern railway and
the now assured construction work on the Bully Creek imW;
" "klUblVll
project, which are drawing not only new homeseekers but coloni
zation men, indicates that this year will mark the first period in
tne general transformation of the "Last Frontier" into the "New
umpire oi the West.
Sunday
Socialist party
Motley, national organizer
party.
As the result of the meeting held
here an oragnization with 33 charter
members was formed. John E. John
son is county organizer; J. P. Pube,
literature agent; and Chas Coppel,
secreary-treasurer. Locals will also
be organized at Nyssa and Ontario
within the next week or two, after
which a county convention will be
called for the uurDose of selecting
a ticket for county and state officers.
After stating a few facts regarding
the Socialist movement throughout
the world, Mr. Motley spent time in
explaining the economic forces which
are bringing about the disentregra-
tion of our present capitalistic sys
tem; and that neither "protective
tariff" nor "free trade," can solve
present day problems.
Competition is the mother of trust.
It is economically wasteful and use
less in the process of production and
distribution, hence it must inevitably
give way to monopolization.
Tre small business man fails to
realize that it is competition that is
hurting him; yet he is howling for
more. The law of economic deter
minism compels everyone to buy
where his money will bring the most
of life's necessities. Hence, the
big mail order houses spells the doom
of the middleman. Instead of rest
ing competition, the Socialists say we
must socialize the industries of the
county. Labor received but one-fifth
of what it produces ; consequently, its
purchasing power is curtailed by four
fifths. The result is, we have indus
trial panics, due to over-nrndnrt.ion.
. , i 1
but under-consumption.
The class struggle is not the result
of Socialist agitation; but the pro
duct of capitalist misrule. As long
as there exists two distinct economic
classes whose interests are antagon
istical, there is going to be class wars.
As to the Question of "riivirtincr
up," Mr. Motley plainly showed that
was what our present system is do
ing and that only Socialism can pos
sibly abolish this "dividing up" process.
Politics and Politic
City Attorney Robret M. Duncan
candidate for district attorney, left on
Saturday for Malheur City, Bonita
and other sections in the northeastern
part of the county to interview the
voters.
Judge George W. Hayes left last
Saturday for the Jordan Valley coun
ty in the interest of his candidacy for
district attorney.
J. Ralph Weaver, of Ontario,
his announcemnt this
week of his candidacy for the Repub
lican nomination to the office of Coun
ty Treasurer. Mr. Weaver, with his
vears' of experience a9 a book keep-
Imnker. is well qualified for
the office of guarding the funds of the
county. He is a young man of splen
did habits and is in a position to give
all of his time to the duties of that
most important office.
County Surveyor J. F. Miller went
to Nyssa Monday to survey Borne
wagon roads, changes having been
made necessary since the building of
the Nyssa-Homedale extension Mr.
Miller is candidate for re-election to
tVin nflW of Countv survevor. He
has given splendid service and should
be given another term in office.
Andrew Lackey, who is seeking the
Democratic nomination at the prim
aries for the office of County Assessor,
was in town Tuesday.

That's the only kind printed at the

Why doesn't some earnest advocate
of "party harmony" suggest a Re

For President, Taft; for vice-president,
Roosevelt; or vice-versa.
Wm, J. Bryan finds Champ Clark
and Woodrow Wilson the favored ones
among Democratic candidates for
presidential nominations.
Boiled down, Col. Roosevelt's
reason for entering campaign appears
to be that the country needs an effec

a system wmch will give Vale splendid rail connections within the
next few years. In addition to this the coming of the Hill trans
continental line will lurther aid in making Vale a great railroad
centre wun a large territory tributary that is destined to become
one or tne ncnest irrigated sections.
Homeseekers began to arrive in Oregon last week and the
large number of arrivals are increasing daily. The movement
will continue until April 15th on account of the special low rates
and many new families will undoubtedly be attracted to Malheur
county and Vale.
Already there is a promise of unprecedented building activ
ity in residences in this city this spring and summer. The con
structs of more homes as well as more business houses means a
bigger and better city. Watch Vale build and grow!

When Taft is so vindictively assail
ing the recall idea, he may be thinking
of the possibility of the recall of Col
onel Roosevelt to the presidential
chair.
One of the ways of finding out how
the voters of the country feci regard
ing presidential candidates is from
the commercial travelers who go back
and fortli through the various states
Ihese travellers are men of keen
minas and it has been their custom
tor many years to observe in their
travels the drift of political senti
ment. On their return to their
neadquarters, they usually report it
to their superiors, then the results
find their way to the political chiefs
and so on to the general public.
Bryan's tour of the Northwest has
been a success from the point of
view oi the general public interest.
Notwithtanding the fact that he has
been turned down, squelched and sat
upon by the public, he comes up smil
ing and is capable at any time of in
teresting the public by his masterly
oratory. Say what we will about
Bryan, he is a factor that must be
reckoned with.
The City of Vale, by limiting its saloons to twn nH fioii;v,
monopoly to the highest bidder, puts the best kind nf m,u,v.
in effect, says the Portland Oregonian editorially.
