WHO WOULD IMA 8CHNOERR
HAVE BEEN TRAITOR TO?
Mr. Noyer Thinks this Is Question
that Should bo Answered.
Mr. Gus Schnoerr,
Willamette, Ore.
Dear Sir:
On your trial in September for
libel, you stated under oath that
Mr. Schuebel wanted you to sign
the following statement to the
voters of Clackamas county:
"It has been stated that I am
under obligations to the corporate
interests in Clackamas eountv
ana wouia worn in tneir interests
ii eleoted as a member of the Leg
islature. It is a fact that Gordon
E. Hayes, B. T. McBain, Win,
Sheahan and other prominent
citizens urged me to become a
candidate for the Legislature.
They did not ask me for any
pieage to support any legislat
ion in the interest of the corpor
ations or otherwise. If nomin.
ated and elected, I pledge myself
to me voters ana taxpayers or
Clackamas county, that I will at
all times work for such legislat
ion that will tax the waterpowor
and public service corporation
franchise in the same manner as
other property; that I will at all
times do all in my power to pass
such legislation that will nolp
FOOLING) THE JURY.
No Testimony that Will 8tand, so
they Try the Lawyers' Trick.
A darkey in court, on account
of 8equestenan or his neigh
bor's live pork, was given two
lawyers by the judge because
both claimed the honor of divid
ing the fee paid by the state of
(ioorgia ror tne defense or indi
gent defendants. In a few min
utes he returned from consulta
tion with his eminent counselors
to the judge and said
"If your honor would please
swaD onn or de other of dem law
yers for a witness for me, it
would shoFe be a mighty handy
accommodation for me, sur.Dey
bof tell me I am jest obliged to
hab a witness, and' I sure am pes
tered wif too many lawyers, sur."
That is precisely the position
of the big land grabbers and tax
dodgers in Oregon in defending
themselves against the graduated
single tax and exemption meas
ure, also called graduated single
tax, No. 364 on the ballot. They
have no witnesses to prove their
assertions of bankruptcy and
confiscation intailed by taking
taxes from improvements, i tie
host of witnesses on the other
side simply convicts them of
falsification and "perjury. The
land speculators nave several
lawyers and near lawyers cam
paigning for them, but before the
jury of the people of Oregon they
place no testimony wnatever, res
ting their case upon the baseless
fabrications and fervid appeals
to nothing and about nothing.
Some juries have been fooled
that way. to be sure, and when a
bad lawyer has a bad case that is
his only nope to fool tne jury.

There's often much truth in the
saying "her face is her fortune,"
but It's never said whore pimples,
elements contained therein, says
the Western Stock Journal,
publication devoted exclusively to
the livostock industry and pub
lished at Oregon City, Ore., and
many poople have an idea that
rotted manure is a much more
valuable fertilizer than rfesh ma
nure from the barn or yard. The
elements sought for are mainly
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, and usually figured at
fifteen cents; six cents and fivo
cents per pound, respectively. On
this basis a ton of fresh barnyard
manure is worth $1.98. A ton of
rolton manure is worth $2.04, or
only six cents moro. When the
fact is considered that it takes
nearly two tons of fresh barnyrad
manure to make one ton of rotted
manure, owing to the loss from
evaporation and loaching, it can
bo scon that much of tho fcrtiliz
ing mattor originally contained is
lost in tho rotting process.
n,ariy spring oilers many op
portune ies for getting manure on
the land. These should bo taken
advantage of; though ono should
avoid driving over tho land when
it is very wet from molting snows
or from heavy rains. Tho good
efect of tho manure may bo en
tirely offset by bad handling of
the land.

E. T. MASS,
Sheriff of Clackamas County, Oregon.
By B. J. STAATS, Deputy.
Oregon City, Oregon, October 4th, 1912.
There are over 100,000 women
in Oregon. The majority of them
do not want to vote. A small pro
portion iu any given community
is asking for the ballot. Is that
nut truo in your town?
Many of them are actively op
posed. To put upon these women
a responsibility from which they
have hitherto been -tempted and
which they do not wish is not
"Woman's Rights."
Many of them are are indiffer
ent. Tho indifferent main vnti-
is one of the serious problems of
the present electorate. Would
you add to it a large body of votes
avowedly indifferent?
The demand, that woman suff
rage 'is the demand that women
shall assume an equal share with
men in the responsibility of car
rying the government of tho city,
the state, tho nation. It means
that she will enter ho political
arena with him. For it is an ar
ena. Politics is not a conflict of
opinions, it is a conflict of wills.
11 carries with it public meetings,
public debates, puDIlc marchings,
and counter marchings, public
discussion of public questions,
and of the character of public
candidates, and all other inci
dents of a campaign.
It is not democratic, nor .iust.
nor fair, to draft this large body
of women into this campaign
against their wills. "
This is the sixth time the vot
ers of Oregon have been asked to
vote upon this question in spite
of the fact that every two years
tho opposition to it has increased
so that in 1910 suffrage carried
only in one county in Oregon, and
m mat one ny live votes, the to
tal vole being 35,270 for suffrage,
the smallest vote for it since 1900
and 59,005 against, a majority of
23,795.
The Oregon State Association
opposed to the Extension of Suf
frage to Women, asks that you
give this amendment your earnest
consideration, and that you de
feat it this time by so great a
plurality that the suffragists, lo
cal, and imported, must bow be
fore the will of the people of Ore
gon, and acknowledge that the
majority rules in America.
