OREGON CITY COURIER PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHER M. J. BROWN, A. E. FROST, OWNERS. Subscription Price $1.50. Telephones, Main 3-1; Home A 5-1 Official Paper for- the Farmers Society of Equity of Clackamas Co M. J. BROWN, EDITOR Sulzer, impeached as governor of New York, has been nominated by the Progressives for member of the state legislature. The Buffalo, N. Y., Enquirer says jignoes who insist on intervention in Mexico would neither fight nor pay any more war taxes than they could help. There is a recall election on at Hood River for the entire county court, and the charges are extravagance, waste 01 pumic money, eic. me campaign in causing much excitement and both sides are working hard for the women vote. . Governor Foss of Massachusetts, has Haney of California, skinned in jumping sideways. A few years ago he was an ardent Republican, then he went over to the Democrats long enough to be made governor, and now he is out as a candidate on tne inae pendent ticket. Remember. On election day you will vote on the bills as passed by the legislature, not on the matter or sus taining or rejecting the referendums. You will vote as if the measures were simply handed you from the legisla ture for your approval or rejection. The question 13 shall tne dm De law that's all. The Salem Journal says of the com mission form of government: Running a city is as much a matter of business as any other businesss, and certainly no busi ness man would consider for a a moment the idea of allowing his business to be managed by a com mittee even of his friends, yet that is the way city affairs are now managed. Ex-Senator Bourne has been up to Eugene talking his national good roads bonding scheme. Wouldn't it jar you if he were yet to ride into the senate on this hobby ? Telephone Register, Mc-Minnville. What? Jar one to ride into the U. S. senate on roads thatc ost $1,500, 000,000? That is the kind of a hobby that doesn't hit the low places. In answer to Mr. Hicinbotham's question last week permit me to say that there is no local or special law proposed for a county public library in iiiucKumtia vuuiuy. The County Court has power, with' out a referendum vote, to levy as pec- ial tax for a county public library and to establish branches. The law grant ing this power to the court is on page 'iOb of the Session Laws or mi ana in sections 4346 to 4359 of Lord's Ore gon Laws. Judge Anderson and the commiss ioners will not make the levy nor es tablish the library unless the people vote for it. Therefore they ordered the question on the ballot for the election which is to be held on the 4th of No vember. If a majority of those voting on the question vote for the library, the court will make the levy and establish a county library with branches. If the people vote "no" the Court will takt no further action. HOME MADE LAW In Maryland some of the well to do negros have been purchasing prop erty in a fashionable neighborhood. The whites objected. A handy judge of the Humphries type, was appealed to. He issued an order that thereofter colored people should not be permit ted to own land or build houses in that locality, or live there except as ser vants. Where will these judges go, if al lowed the limit? Suppose we should ordain that only blondes would bo allowed to own land or live on Knob Hill in Portland 1 Just as much justice in such a de cision as the one in Maryland. Court made law and government by injunction are putting the judiciary in wrong, very, very fast. SOME DAY, PERHAPS Here are a few ideas the lawyers may not think judicially sound, but I have an idea the common fellows will cotton to them somewhat. They are not original reforms the Courier dug out by hard thinking, but stolen from a little dinkey island, New Zealand, that little country of proerres sion that but a few years ago was classed as an island of savages. Take the civil cases where less than $400 is involved and have them set tled by an arbitration board of three with no appeal from the verdict only on proof of corruption of one or more of the board. The plaintiff picks one man, the defendant one man and the Justice of the Peace acts as the third, They are allowed pay for one day' work as arbitrators. A majority ren ders the verdict. Both sides to the case are stated to the arbitrators by tne parties in disagreement. There are no lawyers' fees, no court costs, no appeals, no delays. The mat ter is simply presented by the princi pals, a verdict rendered the same day and it is ended. Here a man brings action for per haps $50. It goes into the circuit court for trial, with court expenses and attorneys lees. If either party hard headed enough, the case is ap pealed to the supreme court, and again come the expenses. When the case is ended the lawyers on both sides get many times the amount su ed for, and on top of this come the court cost. And on top of them the worry and uneasiness. Then ero a little further and Dut time limit on criminal cases and: mis demeanors, to be tried before the court, and you have shortened up the work or judges and juries so that will not be necessary to have addition al ones. But we will never get such a law through the legislature. The only way is tnrouen tne neooie. via the miti ative, and some day, when we have had a lew more Judge Humphries, the people will take hold of some, such proposition, add to the amendment few more short cuts, and the peopl will pass it. Put as bx-Governor Hughes of New xork once said, it takes an earth quake to stir tne masses, but once aroused they move. REASONS FOR KILLING Frost and Green Win Jack Frost and S. R. Green, ex-po-liccmen, won their suit against the city last week, when Justice Sievers gave them a judgement for $78 for pay during vacation. This claim had been rejected by the city council and suit was brought. N. B. Hicks was attorney for Frost and Green and City Attorney Stone for defendants. The following reasons for defeat ing the sterilization law are given in circular letter sent out from Port land, which we are requested to pub usn: "If this law is approved by the people and is constitutional, it will be possible for only two men, one a sup erintendent of a State Asylum, with out an oath or affidavit, without trial or hearing, without a notice to the insane person or prisoner, or to any friend, relative or guardian, to cause any insane person in the State istitutions to be sterilized, spayed, castrated or otherwise mutilated by any "surgical operation" the State Hoard of Health may be nleased to order. Nothing is required by law but approval by the State Board of the reports of the superintendent. There is nothing in the law to pre vent all of thiB being done before any of the work is made public. We do not think any two men or any combinat ion of men snould have this power over the bodies of insane persons or prisoners. It is true that the law says the insane person or prisoner may ap peal from the order of the State Board but it does not require that he or she shall have any notice whatever, and this makes appeal impossible, except by the kindness of the superintend ent of the asylum or penitentiary. "We recommend that this law be rejected by voting 305 X No. "We do not say the present officers would abuse the authority granted tnem by this law, but wo believe the history of mankind proves that such secret power is too great to be given any body of men over other men, wo men, and most of all over the helpless insane persons and prisoners. THE GANG WON Governor Sulzer of New York, has been carried out on a stretcher and it was the anticipated end. His impeachment was a mockery on justice. He was tried by the men who hate him, by the men who brought the chnrsres acrainst him. Murphy and his grafting associates, the Republican organization and the Wall Streot crowd, framed up the deal to null down Sulzer through his wife leading her on to speculate with the money she should not have used, and BANK SERVICE You cannot accomplish much in a bus iness way without the service of a bank. . And when it comes to the question of whether or not you should have some bank connections, there is only one an swer. Any business will derive great benefit from a bank's service. The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY then steering the market to swallow up that money. The New York political grafters have for scores of years handled and used the governors of New York state, and Democratic Tammany Murphy and Republican Boss Barnes, and their disciples have played the game together'and divided the spoils. Hughes, when governor, would not play the grafting game, and the gang had to go to spineless Taft and have him remove him by the gift or a su preme court judgeship and to the dis honor of Hughes, he accepted and left the masses who believed in him and made him. Sulzer would not graft the peopl or permit the gangs to do so. There were no bribes that dared be offered him. He was a menace to Tammany and its Republican half brothers. It was a case of kill Sulzer or ruin him, The latter was safer, and the bunch of character assassins framed up the dishonorable, criminal deal and plug ged it to an end through its handy men in the JNew York legislature. But the end is not yet in New York. An outraged, sandbagged people, which has repeatedly tried for relief in both parties, will soon break up the looters and by sheer . force of num bers elect legislators pledged to give them political powers, and when New York does get direct primaries, the initiative, referendum and recall, then mere win be a cleaning out of cess pools that will smell to heaven. A BILL FOR THE WORKERS At the state meeting of the Far mers' Society of Equity, held in the court house in Portland last week the proposed U'Ren $1500 exemption measure was unanimously adopted, by the passage of a resolution, and with out a word of argument against the resolution. The farmers knqw this proposed amendment favors the little man and the worker, and they realize it puts more taxation on those who should pay more of it. Exempting taxation from certain forms of industry may be class legis lation, but it appears to be about the only means under our present unjust system of assessments to get any where near to forcing those who should pay more to come to the rack, Exempting $1500 from homes, live stock, improvements, etc., will force the amounts exempted to be raised on other property, and perhaps it will make such property as the Mock Bot toms in Portland, assessed for $600 an acre, and which the owners asked $3,000 an acre, come through with a little more state and county revenue, and the farmer and laborer have a lit tle less to pay. I he Orange and the Farmers Union should back up the Eouitv in its stand, as the exemption bill is clearly in iavor oi me masses. THE EFFECTIVE WAY The findings of the state health of ficer in this city has caused no end of talk, and it is said one business man will bring action for damages against tne newspapers that publish the re porton the ground that the nubli- cation has seriously injured his business. If this man's nlace had been kent as u snouia nave Deen kept, ir it was clean and sanitary, there would have been no such report to publish. The newspaper that publishes the news of a grocer being caught short weigning, aoes an injury to the bus iness of the grocer, but the grocer is himself to blame. The publication of the erand iurv indictments and the trial jury verdicts injure the convicted parties, but it is tne guilty ones, not the newspapers, that are responsible. It is argued that the state inspector might have made his reports privately and that the conditions could have been remedied just as well. They COULD have but they would not have. People who consume have a right to know under what conditions their goods come to them, and publi city has a punch behind it that any man or any business fears when that man or that business is not what should be. There will be more cleanliness and more sanitary conditions around food. stuffs in Oregon City from now on. It will mighty soon ruin any man's business to have many such reports as some of the business places got last week. And when they offer us food under such filthy conditions, the sooner they are ruined the better. 1 The state inspectors and rnrintv health officer did a splendid work for uregon uity last week. WHY? judge and a district attorney in every county there would be a wonderful shortening up of the docket A man arrested lor a crime would nave a speedy trial, he would not have to lay in jail for weeks at the county's expense, and in case of innocence, and where he could not get bail, he would not have to serve time for a crime he did not commit. The Courier believes the county at torney law is a move for reform, and that justice demands it. It gives every county an attorney and makes him responsible. It will cut out delays in trials and county expenses. It will result in more justice, vigor ous prosecutions, will cut out the de puties and give each county its own management. Clackamas county isg oing for the County attorney bill and going hard, and there is every reason to think the state will vote It. Vote 306 yes, if you want this re form law. TAKE IT, OR LOOK OUT The Richmond, Cat., Tribune says of the Democratic currency bill that the bankers had better take what is of fered and look pleasant, for just as sure as the sun shines and God reigns, if they undertake to balk at these needed reforms the government will do the banking business itself, and the people will furnish all the money needed at -he five per cent interest which the government will pay. They can easily do this by withdrawn g from the savings banks the FOUK BILLION DOLLARS they havo in them at three and four percent. The fact that they would not hesitate a minute to do this is made plain by the fact that, they are already keeping with the postal savings banks some thing like $33,000,000 at only thrsc per cent The time for bank making money panics is passed. There will be no more of them tolerated. THE LOG ROLLING WAY Senator Hal D. Patton of Salem, gives the Statesman an interview in which he declares emphatically that the University of Oregon is entitled to the - appropriations made by the last legislature. He has a right so to vote with thousands of others, but he unwittingly shows how legislation is brought about in the "tickle-me-and- I'll-tickle-you" system in vogue in the sacred precincts of legislative halls at Salem. Here are nis own words: "The Lane county delegation was only too willing to support the thousands ap propriated for Salem and vicinity and it ill becomes us to withhold our sup port at the polls for the neighboring ! i -1 i et . . ... l . institution. aaiem wantea mucii; Eugene wanted something; they help ed us and we will help them.

NEEDED LEGISLATION Oregon is one of a few atata that still clings to the system of the days of the circuit rider in the matter of district attorney covering territory. There is little doubt but th will do away with this antiouatd system November 4, and sustain the law passed by the last legislature, giving to each county its own nnuie. cuting attorney. And after this will come the same needed legislation along iurlo-esMn ines. If the referendum is voted down ind the countv attomev law nnholH there is little doubt but what the iicav legislature win pass a compan ion law, giving to each county a cir cuit court judge.

BOW MUCH IS A ROSE WORTH 7 The Panama-Pacific exposition, to be held In 1816, offers a trophy valued at $1, 000 for the finest unnamed rose shown that year. News Item. How much Is u rose worth to you? Nothing, you say. You have a whole gardenful of roses, and you don't both, er much about them. Oh, yes; 'of course mother and the'glrls like to fuss around the bushes and decorate the bouse with the flowers, but you tire too busy to think about them. It Is a mistake, friend. Think a bit about the rose and what it means. You will leurn nut only to love the fru grant flower, but will acquire a new outlook on life. The rose Is worth n good deal, you see. The man who does not lore roses has missed a great thing. Into his life has never come In all likelihood the thought that perhaps, after all, life was made to be filled with sweetness and beauty and fragrance and not with gloom uud bitterness aud disappointment. Such Is the lesson of the rose, and It Is a lex son that Is worth learning. Every mau on earth may have his roses. If he Is walled up In u city and bis lot Is cast In rigid, unyielding lines of stone aud brick De may still see the rose of life blooming on the cheek of a little child; be may And Its fragrance In the holy odor of u good deed; be may read Its lesson In the beauty of unself ish lives lived uncomplainingly umki hardship and privation.

Among the many names or titles suggested for the Order of Tatrons of Husbandry when It was being Institut ed, these were most to the point: "The Independent Order of Progressive Farmers," "Knights of the Plow," "Lords of the Soil," and in place of calling it a "lodge" to name it a "gar den," "arbor" or simply "home." In 1807 Mr. Kelley wrote, "How would it do to call the lodges 'granges.?' " He says that he took the name "grange" from on order advertised at that time. In reply came the query as to how "Patrons of Husbandry" would do. This name was endorsed nt a nieettng held In the office of William Saunders 'in Washington on Nov. 15, 1807. It was also decided at this meeting that the branches of the order should be known as granges Instead of lodges. William M. Ireland presided at this meeting, and O. H. Kelley acted as secretary.
