atate law governing these bonds Is
now sufficient, and is considered the
best In the naton, all put the gilt edge
of a sound financial Investment on
them.
Just what, then, is Mr. Chapman's
motive. There Is one, to be sure, for
' there la method In everything Chap
man does, from the boosting of a pav
ing trust down to the smallest Item
appearing In The Voter. In fact, the
Voter might well be termed a maga
line of motives.
We would not attempt to define
these things, merely state them for
, whst they are worth.
We would not accuse Chapman of
being controlled by large interests
against the general welfare of the
state at large, but we believe that he
has done the state a real Injustice in
this attitude, and If he wishes to re
tain the prestige he has gained, and
i hopes to hold, he will be forced to as
sume a more progressive attitude.
If he is unaware that the old order
whereby wildcat bond issues were
possible under the state law for the
i method of feathering the nest of large
i land owners, aa he intimatea, he

Doea he not know that the seal of

qualified to do so inspect every pro

that the municipal irrigation district

C. C. Chapman, of Oregon Voter
fame, occupied three and a half pages
in a recent issue of The Voter, good
space, worth a dollar an inch too, in
which he took occasion to warn, ad
monish, notify, caution, apprise, ad
vise, signal, and otherwise inform ihe
voters of this state, in which action
he was merely functioning in his cop
acity of doing the thinking for the
voting population of the state, on the
ccmiiig menace of bond issues for the
reclamation of non-producing Inn is

ged off, and drainage projects.
Just why this action is taken on
the part of Mr. Chapman is not evi- hearts.
dent at this time, although there must
be a reason and a good one.
The facts are that theresis no bet
ter note than the bond issue against
lands that are being increased several
hundred per cent, in value by the ap
plication of water for irrigation, and
the bonds now being sold on irriga
tion districts throughout the state are
considered as among the best muni
cipal bonds that can be purchased.
Mr. Chapman knows these things.
He has seen the lands of Central and
Eastern Oregon, both before and af
ter the water has been applied, and
lie knows full well that the fact that
our best bond houses are ready buy
ers of these bonds, that they pay par
r near par for them, that they are
near par as any other municipal
bond, and nearer than many, that the

eral attack on irrigation district
bonds.
If he did know them and made the
attack it was a vicious and villianous
accusation, which Bhould brand him
with distrust in the future. It he did
not. he should acknowledge the ig
norance of facts, and make public ap
ology, as he has in bad mistakes in
times gone by.
In any event it is Chapman's move,
a:-d that move will be awaited with
interest by a large part of the popu

THE FLU SITUATION
The United States is in the grip of
n epidemic of Spanish Influenza
that is causing more deaths than any
like malady has ever caused in this
country, and the situation, through
out the nation, is but little better
than it has been during the past three
months.
Portland, like other cities, suffers
more than rural communities in many
respects, and is now making a des
perate effort to control the disease.
The use of masks and other meas
ures, including strict quarantine of
all home where Inmates are suffering
from attacks, and better hospital fa
cilities, are among the measures that
are being taken to control the malady.
Prlnevllle has been very fortun
ate in that no real serious outbreak
has yet occured, although there have
been some cases In the town most all
the time for several weeks, and two
deaths have occured which were per
haps due to the disease, and some
very bad cases have been reported.
In the country surrounding Prlne
vllle, however, the story Is different.
In the Powell Butte neighborhood al
most everyone has felt the ravages
of the tnfluensa, and south of the
city many very serious cases have
been reported, and several doatlie
have occured.
The fact that there have been but
few cases In Prlnevllle Is only chance
and there la no need of the people of
the town considering that they have
escaped, and are immune from attack.
A strict quarantine of cases until
after all danger of contamination has
passed would be a good measure, and
although It Is already observed by the
authorities, and physicians are doing
their work well In attempting to keep
all patients from spreading the dis
ease, the best results can only be ob
tained by the full cooperation of the
people themselva.
There should be no effort to close
snd tie up business, again it It can be
prevented, and to prevent such action
lies with the individuals to a large ex
tent Instead of with the officials, who
are powerless In the enforcement of
any law or measure, unless the people
want the law enforced.
The manner in which this disease
has been combated in many plucea
differs widely from the Idea tiuit
seems general on the Pacific coast.
The measures in most Instances are
strict observance of quarantine, ai"i
general line of combut such as Is
ed In case of any other contug: i s
disease, and that seems the sensible
method of meetng the situation.
After all, the matter rests lur lv
with the Individual, and If the pe 1
of the town wish to do so, they l. .
prevent the spread of this disease in
the same precautionary manner that
they would combat any other disease.
Think it over, and assist the offi
cials in doing your part, before the
authortles are compelled to force you
to do it.
