Considerable Interest hn developed In the coming municipal election, w hich will bo held Monday, December 5 from 9 A. M. lo 7 P. M. There are two candidates for the mayoralty, lioorge C. llrownell and J. J. Cooko. The former Is generally looked upon n the strongest cnndlduto for (he po sition.

Heit Itmtke will Beck reelection lo (lie two yenr term, and he will not bo oppciHcd. It Is likely there will be n contest In ward three, whero Frank Uet.el Is a cnndlduto for reelection, and Mr. Howell may also become a candidate, having received the on ilorHoment of tho Improvement club of his section of tho city. M. D. Lntourotto, who hns served as treasurer for several years, will hnvo no opposition for reelection.

AWFUL LANDSLIDE !0T mini li ALL OF THE EIGHT PROJECTS SNOWED UNDER BY THE STATE'S VOTERS. COUNTY TAX AMENDMENT CARRIES Poll Tax is Thereby Prohibited, and Each County Regulates Its Own Taxation Final Returns on Other Measures. Nine out of the 32 measures pro posed by initiative and upon which the referendum was ordered, have been adopted. All of the others failed to pass, among them the eight county division propositions. . The Clackamas-Multnomah measure lost heavily, there being more votes cast against It than on any of the other county division schemes. The county taxation amendment that appeared on the ballot under the numbers 32G and 327 hns carried and Is one of the three tax amendments submitted, the other two having lost. Tho county tax measure, as It Is commonly known, was submitted through the Initiative by the labor organizations of tho State. It takes from the Legislature all power to pass laws regulating taxation or ex emptions and gives that power solely to the people, although the Leglsla turo mny submit such laws for ap proval or rejection at the polls. Each county Is permitted to regulate tax ation within Its borders as It sees fit. The levying of poll tax is prohibited. The bill is regarded as having beeu designed as an entering wedge for single tx measures. Under Us provisions a county whose voters were so disposed might adopt that system, even though the measure could not muster strength In the state at large to bo made a state law. Tho following are the measures that have been adopted and complete vote on each: An act authorizing the location, con struction and maintenance of a branch nsnne asylum In Eastern Oregon Yes 49,209 No 41.G22 Majority for 7.5S7 A bill providing for the support and maintenance of the Monmouth Nor mal School Yes 50,404 No 40,043 Majority for 10,361 A constitutional amendment em powering the people of each county to regulate taxation and exemptions within the county regardless of con- titutionnl restrictions or state stilt utes, and abolish poll tax Yes 43,989 No 42,334 Majority for 1,055 Home rule liquor bill Yes 62.4G1 No 47,914 Majority for 4,547 (Continued on page 5) HUHiilO LWIOiU MANY B0Y8 ENROLL FOR NEW COURSE OTHER NOTE3 OF CITY SCHOOLS.

At the time of the primary election mock election with full complement of officers Including Judges and clerks was held by the 8th grade pup ils, and at the close of the general election another mock election was held. Sample ballots wero used and the procedure employed exactly the same as in the regular election Counting and tabulation of results followed. In this way the exercise of the rights of franchise at the elec tion booth was emphasized and the boys and even the girls made familiar with this the highest privilege as well as the Imperative duty of every worthy American voter. These ex ercises were under the direct super vision of Principals Freel and Bow- land. - ANDREWS SELLS LAND. Portlanders Purchase Choice Tracts on Butte Creek- Frank E.
