Universal Eight
Initiated by authority of Mrs. Jean Heiinctt, 429 E. Morrison St.,
Portland, on bclifilf of Universal Eifiht Hour league. Irs purpose is to add
Section 9 to Article XV of the Oregon constitution prohibiting any man,
woman, hoy or girl, from being employed more than eight hours in any one
day, or forty-eight hours in any one week, in any grade, business or profession,
or on any farm, or in domestic service, or in any kind of employment what
ever, skilled or unskilled, mental or physical, within the state of Oregon.
This law applies to children and other relatives of the employers, nnd provides
jjimlty for violation thereof.
Negative Argument
The mere fact thot thla bill would
Includo In Its limit of eight hours for
n work dny, all fnrm lands and houce
bold sorvnnts, shows It to be Imprnc
ilcoblo.' Tho character of tho work on
a farm Is of such a nature thnt It 1
impoHRlblo to limit tne hours of work
to eight.
Tho averago farmer today la not
ttniaHHlng any fabulous fortunes and It
no has to put In two aniris oi mea io
lmrvest his crops It will put tho fanner
almnliitoly out of bulnoss. No mnttor
what or how mnny laws we may pass,
w cannot chang the fact that crops
ripen nnd have to b gathered In a
very Rmall portion of tho entire year
nnd unless everybody worka early and
Inte without much regard to hours, the
crops will be damaged, If not lost.
A it la now, the farmer finds It
illrriruit to get enough hands In the
harvetit season and If he were success
ful In getting twice as many then, as
he has now, wbnt would these extra
hand do during the reat of the year?
We don't Deed any additional army
of unemployed to take care of during
the winter.

Hour Day Bill
Affirmative Argument.
This Is a bill for the protection of
the working man and like all equitable
legislation nlong this lino Is bitterly op
posed by all those who put cash bo-
fore happiness ana pronia oeioie
health. Minor defects, which do not
In any way detract from the general
moaning and purpose of the proposed
amendmont, have been picked upon
and spread before the newspaper read
ers of the state in b desperate orfort
a kill itm naaaatm
Employers are organized Into rsho
clatlons In almost every line. Laws
have been passed for the exclusive ben
efits of thoso who operate the mills
and fnctories of the stato and the la
borers have set back and allowed their
rights to-.be Ignored and their Inter
nal u in hn fnrrotten.
ElKht hours la onougn worn in one
day. If those who are fighting this
mm irv eleht hours of physical
work they would discover the trutb of
this. A man can produce enougn in

providing hi non-working employer
does not TOO lae lauorer ui w" . -share.
In many lines of work, eight

j . State Aid Bill j
--
An Amendment of Section 7 of
hblc the State to lend its credit or incur
1 it r t 1 l I ' .
sand dollars tor Duuaing ana maintaining permanent roaus, constructing
irrigation and power projects and developing unfilled lands, hut-limiting the
total credit and indebtedness for road purposes to two per cent, and the total
credit lent or indebtedness incurred for irrigation and power projects and
development of untilled lands to two per cent, of the. assessed valuation of
all the property in the State, making a
Affirmative Argument
To stimulate industrial development,
and to put our wasting water power to
the widest use In the home and on the
farm. Immense power projects must
be constructed with trunk lines lead
ing to all parts of the state.
Private capital hesitates to take up
the construction of these vast projects,
which are so essential to the future
development and prosperity of Oregon.
Taxes can be reduced through the
Increase of taxable wealth arising from
the public development of these pro-
1ects.
Tho new settler on raw land has not
the credit with which he can secure
money necessary for developing his
land to a reasonably productive Btate.
Besides, the farm which will last for
generations, must be paid for in a few
short years. Local irrigation districts
are often in the same condition. They
must borrow, say $50 per acre on dry
farm land worth $10 in order to install
an irrigation system which will make
the land worth $100 per acre. High
interest and discount rates muBt ac
cordingly be paid.
If the credit of the state or nation
can be used as a basis for this capital,
an enormous saving will result. By
acting in cooperation with the United
States, we can thus divide the risk and
lower the interest, provided its su
perior credit can be utilized. Safety of
funds would also be assured by joining
with an experienced organization in
this class of work. Fifty years could
be allowed, if necessary, in which to
pay back the 3 per cent loan. Under
such arrangement the small payment
of only 4 per cent annuajly, at com
pound Interest, would in fifty years pay
both principal and interest. This is
In striking contrast with 7 to 10 per
cent for Interest where the principal
must be paid in addition.
The foregoing amendment baa been
approved by the Legislature and
the Oregon Irrigation Congress.

'I Want lo Gat Wall; Everything la

After Attampt on Har
Own Life
WHh two bullet wounda near br
heart and only small chance of re
covery, according to Dr. H. T, Cleay,
Mr. Florence Bohn, who killed ber
two Infant children Tueaday morning
and then ahot herself, waa atlll un
aware of tba BerlouaneM of ber dnd
and deaplta ber critical condition
talked freely with friend and neigh
bor who called at tho Bohn borne.
'1 want to get well. Everything la
alright," iho told her husband and
frl'nda and repeated tha aenteiire
over and over again. The fact that,
aho bad killed ber own children bad
no effect on ber and those who aaw
her aay that ahe waa no more affected
by ber act than If she bad Inflicted
eome minor punlahment She repeal
ed that the two bodlea ne burled In
tbe same coffin In the Buttevllle cemo
tery and ber requeat will probably be
carried out Thursday.
Mrs. Bohn ba taken full responsi
bility for the killing. She tells of se
curing tbe gun. testing It, turning It on
two-year-old Richard, then Dorothy
Verglnla, age six months, and finally
on herself In tho same vein as If the
art were no more serious thad spank
ing ber children. Sb knows no re
luctance In relating every move.
Dr. Clesy. of Aurora, who was the
first called by the husband, la of the
opinion tfiat constant brooding haa
affected Mrs. Bonn's mind. He said
Wednesday afternoon: "I was at tbe
Sohn borne this morning and beard
from nurses I have left there again
thla afternoon. She has a small chance
of recovering but the odds are against
ber.
"At first I believed that Mrs. Bohn
had a brief period of mental d-vrea-sion,
but now I am of tbe opinion that
she Is demented. I can hardly under
stand how she can continue her spirit
of calmness under such circumstance.
Beyond the pain she shows no signs
of suffering, either mentally or physi
cally. Her home la located some dis
tance from the next dwelling and I be
lieve that lonesomeness Is largely to
blame for her act. Her husband
worked and was gone all day and she
seldom saw neighbors.''

Canada Sends for Transports.

Article XI of the Constitution, to en-
indebtedness in excess of fifty thou-
- . 1 .
total of four per cent for both.
Negative Argument
This Is a measure which will change
the entire financial balance of the
state government and take away from
the commonwealth that necessary fi
nancial stability which It now pos
sesses. The constitution at the pres
ent time provides that the legislature
"shall not lend the credit of the Btate
nor in any manner create any debt or
liabilities which shall singularly or in
the aggregate with previous debts or
liabilities exceed the sum of $50,000
lexcept ln case ot war or tp repel in-
vasion or suppress insurrection." This
bill would give the legislature the pow
er to lend the credit ot the state for
sums exceeding $50,000 to build roads,
irrigation and power projects and en
ter into other fields which before has
been largely left with county or fed
eral governments or In the field of
private enterprise.
The clause which this amendment
would greatly weaken has been the
safety valve of the state's finances. It
has held the debt of the state down to
a low figure at all times in the past
but with such an alteration as is pro
posed would allow the liabilities to rise
to a high figure; would put the state
under the influence of money lenders
and bond buyers; and at the same time
would not accomplish any object which
is not now handled to the satisfaction
of all.
The measure is, ln a way, socialistic
and borders on the Ideal which would
never work ln actual life. It would
plunge the state into scores ot pro
jects which previously have been un
der the control of private capitaL The
fortunes and misfortunes of private
enterprises, backed by public funds,
would reflect on the finances of the
state. Complication after complica
tion would result from the Intricate
system of commissions and boards and
high salaried men which would be
necessary to handle the fund.
