Proper Use of Militia, and a
Dry State Not Yet Determined
George C. Brownell, may be the
third candidate for governor from Ore
gon City.
On a platform of state and national
prohibition, favoring good roads, op
posing the single tax, for enforcement
of law, and the use of the militia only
in cases of extreme necessity, he may
decide to get into the field.
In a statement that he issued Wed
nesday night he said: "I have re
ceived requests from many friends in
all parts of the state asking me to en
ter the race, but I have not yet de
termined what I shall do. I will an
nounce my decision within the next
few days. If I do decide to' become a
candidate, my platform will be along
the line of national and state prohibi
tion of the manufacture or sale of in
toxicating liquors except for scien
tific, medicinal, or mechanical pur
poses within the state of Oregon; the
support and maintenance of good
roads; opposition to the single tax;
the enforcement of law now on the
statute books. If I become a candi
date and am successful, I should not
use the state militia to crush the la
boring men who are lawfully organ
izing to better their conditions or
wages. About the only legitimate use
for the militia in times of peace is as
a patrol along the border to keep the
Hindus out in their desire to compete
with the wage earners who are native
citizens."
If Judge Brownell decides to enter
the race, he will be the third candi-

Examine Thoroughly Points
Made by Justices Before
He Answers
County officers are puzzled to know
just the extent to which the invalida
tion, of the new registration law by
the supreme court will affect them.
The court has decided that the law
placed stringent restrictions upou the
exercise of the right of franchise and
that it was unconstitutional on the
ground that it made more require
ments of the voter than the provisions
of the constitution allow.
It is possible that the county clerk
will now have to re-register all of the
voters of the county for any future
elections ihat are held though this fea
ture will be finally determined by Gil
bert L. Hedges,, county attorney, after
a study of the decision of the court.
The new law, passed at the last ses
sion of the legislature, . so decided
ly emphasised registration that the
supreme court held it restricted the
right of franchise which would make
the statute unconstitutional on its
face.
Much of the material that the coun
ty has purchased in accordance with
the provisions of the law cannot be
used under the old registration
statute to which the state now re
verts. The county attorney will ex-
piain witnin tne next rew days tne
steps that he will now have to take to
correct his registration lists. The de
cision means that the last eletcion is
valid but it mav entail the reeisterine
fagain of all of the voters of the coun
ty.

SANDY, Ore., Nov. 26 (Special)
With the coming of the winter rains,
the roads in this section are becom
ing almost impassible. The Boring
road, which is planked for most of the
way, is hardly more than a trail of
half rotten planks,, floating in the
mud.
Although the snow has not yet come
far down in the foot hills, it would be
almost impossible for an automobile
to go more than a few miles past this
city. Last summer more cars made
the famous trip to Mt Hood, but now
an automobile is never seen, although
in the winter the peak is considered
the most beautiful.
v;nerryville Is Bad."
Past Cherryville the highway is al
most impassible on account of the
mud and chuck-holes. Several wag-,
ons were stuck in the soft road way
the latter part of last week and it was
found almost impossible to get them
out.
To get loads over the roads is con
sidered practicaly impossible. - Farm
ers are forced to make several trips
to town with light loads each' trip,
rather than with full wagons. ;
Isolates Sandy.
In the past the condition of the
roads around this city thas isolated
Sandy from the rest of the world dur
ing the winter months. To get in or
out of Sandy has long been consider
ed a difficult task but now the com
mercial club has a plan which its
thinks will solve 'the question. This
organization has raised $1,000 from
