DEFEND PEOPLE'S LAW Opinion of Patron and Union Labor Men Is Unanimous That State Road Bill Should Fall. A meeting of tho Joint committee of tho Oregon State Grange, and the Oregon Htate Federation of Iabor was h"ld In Portland on September 27th. Thus. Paulsen of Portland, Eugene Palmer of Albany and, C. K. Snenee of Cams appeared for the Grange, and C. II. Gram, J. F. Cassldy of Portland and H. H. Hill of Salem, for tho State Federation of Labor. C. H. Gram was elected chairman and C. E. Spence secretary. The following resolution was adopt ed: "Whereas, Tho Initiative and refer endum has been attacked by the cor porate Interest and their political allies, the machine politicians, direct ly by suit brought throiigh the Pa cific States Telephone and Telegraph Company to destroy the same; and "Whereas, Tho said suit Is now pending In the courts and should be defended by all friend of direct leg Islatliin, to the full extent of their moral and. financial ability; therefore, be It "Resolved, That we, a Joint com mittee of the Oregon State Grange and Oregon Federation of Labor, re affirm our determination to defend the principle of direct legislation under any and all circumstances; and be it further "Hesolved, that we call upon all who favor direct legislation by the people to secure all data In the pres ent suit to destroy the initiative and referendum; to discuss and promul gate Hie same lei the fullest extent, and to render both moral and financial support thereto." Signed. C. II. Gram, chairman; C. E. Spence. secretary; Eugene Pal mer, J. F. Cassldy, Harry II. Hill, Thos. Paulsen. A resolution favoring Postal Sav ings Hanks was also passed. The pro posed road law, known as the John son bill, was also discussed. The Free Of Charge CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY, who tay the fight over Chamberlain elec tion by the legislature i not hi affair, and decline to go on record at the request of Maple Lane Grange. opinion that this law should not be enacted was unanimous. The road that would most likely he built tinder this law would bo one through Oregon to the California line. The cott of the same would be paid as follows: One-third by the state, one-third by the county and one-third hy the property owners within two miles on efch side of the road. This proposed road would parallel the railroad and would not do the good that roads would do run back Into the country districts from the railroads. Again, the method of the proposed tax Is unjust, as property owners within the two-mile radius would not only pay one-third of the cost by a bond Issue but would also have to pay their part of the state and county tax. Union labor will stand with the grangers on this proposition. The measure Is receiving special consider ation and will come up at the next meeting of the committee. A state hanking law was also dis cussed. A national guarantee was not favored, a state guarantee law met with more favor. The committee, however, deferred action In order to consider the New Zealand state own ership law at its next meeting. Altogether, the fact developed that on many questions a Joint considera tion and Joint action of the Grange and organized labor can only result in the benefit of both organizations. The time ha3 certainly arrived when it has become necessary for all pro ducers of wealth to act In unison. Thomas Paulsen In State Grange Bul letin.

BUILDING AT WICHITA Boundaries Will Not Be Contracted, But District Will Be Extended to Satisfy Rapidly Grow ing Population, The Mllwaukie school district la embarked upon a policy f expansion, and last Saturday night, hy a clone vote decided to construct a new school building at Wichita In the East end of the district. The building will probably have four rooms, to provide space adequate for the growing ter ritory. It Is extremely probably that the district boundary board will add to the Milwaukee district by attaching a portion of the Harmony district, the northwest corner being near Wichita. It is ttie purpose of the residents of that section to build up the district, rather than to tear It down, and there is a movement on foot to construct a building In the south end of Mil waukee district to provide better ac commodations, as there are people who are clamoring to get Into the Oak Grove district, but will be satisfied with a building which would enable them to stay In Milwaukee district This would give them high school fa cilities. The construction of the new building at Wichita will proceed with out delay. The Sunnyside district will hold a special meeting December 21 to vote upon the question of establishing an other room, as this district also Is growing rapidly. Miss Eva Hunter, of the Mountain Road school, and Miss Stella Hunter, of the Willamette school, have been called East by the serious Illness of their sister. Miss Sauer, a Clackamas County teacher, has also been called East by the death of ber father. They may not return. Special Tax For Willamette. The new town of Willamette last Saturday night at a meeting of the council, authorized the levy of an 8 mill tax for general purposes and for the payment of Interest on the bond issue, to be made to raise money to take over the water system owned by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company.
