Mist Flaher Shlpp Is among th lect of th lyreum artlstg. Th peo ple have chosen and applauded her from coast to coast. She Is praised In the highest terms by public and press both as reader and singer. It Is doubtful In which branch of art she is most popular. She takes the leading part also In a musical and dramatic sketch, ably supported by if members of her company, aud the audience Is convinced that she might become a most successful actress. Her accomplishments are of such merit that it is difficult to secure as sisting artists whose work will not seem commonplace by comparison and be unappreciated, but In this re spect there Is a contrast only in the nature cf their work and not In the quality. It Is In every respect a well balanced and harmonious company that renders programs to be long re membered with pleasure.

Iltitfe (paid advt) MAJORITY RULE AMENDMENT Proposed by Initiative Petition For the amending of Section 1, Ar ticle IV, of the Constitution of the State of Oregon so us to require a majority of all electors voting at any electlon'to adopt conxtltutlonal amendment and pass Initiative mens urea and a majority vote only of ejectors voting thereon to reject measures referred to the ieople. VOTK YES OR NO ST2 X Yes No The Majority Rule amendment, as shown above, Is Just as It will appear on the ballot. This Is one of the most Important measures the voters of Oregon will be called upon to de cide at the coming election. It will take from the minority the much-abused power to Initiate and pass laws that only a small percentage of the people understand, and confirms the majority In Its rights to rule. Has it not been the purpose of the Initiative to give the people the ma jority the right to rule? Surely. How ran the majority rule If 25 or 30 per cent of the voters are allowed to enact laws? Look at It this way and you will see the danger In the law which the proposed amendment will remedy. A certain clique, or certain interests de sire a law or laws passed; they send out an array of paid canvasssers to solicit names for the petitions at so much per name, the petition Is Died and the measure goes on the ballot; those who have Initiated the measure and those who signed the petitions a small per cent of the electorate vote for It, a few people who know that the proposed law Is alined at the rights of the people vote against It; but the majority who read In one paper that the law Is u good one aud who read In another paper that It Is a bad luw, frankly admit that they do not understand It. andjrefraln from voting. What Is the result? The people who have Initiated and who are deeply Interested In the measure a small minority of about 25 or 30 per cent of the electorate are counted for It, as are those who did not, vote on It at all and It Is de clared passed. That Is what has happened In the past and what will happen at the coming election. That Is Minority Rule, not Mujorlty Rule. The proposed amendment will safe guard the rights of the people and make the rule of the majority, major ity rule indeed, and not minority rule as at present, Is It right that our state constitu tion should work so that conditions could possibly arise when less than a mnjorlty of the votes cast at an elec tion could amend the Constitution? Is It not evident that this Is the weak spot In our Initiative law? Is it not true that all are affected by the passage of bad laws as well as good laws? Is it not true that all must pay the cost of such legislation? Is It right to say that the approval of a minority of the total number of votes cast at an election should have the right to pass any law or amend the Constitution when all the people of the state are affected by such leg Islation? Is it not better to have the approval of a majority of the total number of votes cast at any election than to pass any law without it? If you will carefully consider the merits of the Majority Rule amend ment you will vote so that In the fu ture the voters of Oregon will take more Interest In legislation, for It will have a tendency to restrain ex perimenters, causing less untried and experimental meaxures being pro posed, thus giving the voter more time for the consideration of Impor tant measures. By voting for the Majority Rule amendment you will correct the abu sive use of the initiative law, and thereby preserve it in the State Constitution. You, Mr. Voter, are to decide this very Important tjnestlon, and In order to decide It right you should vote 322 X Yes on November 5.

To the Voters of Hood River County Having been appointed county Judge by Governor West on my name being presented to him, with others, for that position, I took the oath and assumed t be duties of county Judge and have endeavored to per form the duties to the best of my ability. Should you, the voters, see fit to elect me at the coming election, I will continue to give the otllce the same honest and careful considera tion and be as conservative and eco nomical In all matters of money ex penditures as good service nnd dura bility will permit. In the matter of public roads I fa vorsome system of permanent road building under a bonding law such as the grangf road bills would pro vide. 1 also favor the opening of a county road to the Multnomah county line, that all residents of the county may be able to reach the county seat by team. I do not favor the Idea at present of making It an automobile boulevard. In the matter of county money be ing expended on the Shell Rock work. there has been spent less than $175 outside the special tax voted by the Cascade Locks and Vlento districts, which money was for the lumber and material used for the camp to make the $10,000 donated by Mr. Benson available for the work. Regarding the county Indebted ness, which at the beginning of the present tax-paying year was above $.10,000, caused by the building of the macadam roads on the east and west sides of the valley, this has been entirely wiped out nnd at the pres ent time the county Is not In debt; and from the funds on baud and those which will come from taxes unpaid and the county clerk's ofllce we will approach the next tax-pay ing year with but little In excee s of 15000 Indebtedness. In the matter of publishing bills of county expenditures, the present sys tem shows the total of all bills, which are carefully audited by the board, each bill being gone over separately by them and the bills kept on file. where anyone Interested can see them If they wish. The matter of Itemizing them aud publishing them would Increase by several times what Is now paid and I think would be aeedless expense. Regarding the matter of tax col lector's report on the first of April and Octoler, these dates come at the time when the greatest rush of pay ing taxes Is on. also when the Circuit court Is In session. The tax collector being sheriff, he Is obliged to le In attendance at court; also, the last day of paying taxes In October Is the first Monday, which was the 7th this year, and as all tax money mailed on that date has to be received and entered, It Is Impossible for him to strictly comply with the law and make acomplete report. The county treasurer must wait for the money from the sheriff, hence his delay, and the county clerk must wait for the report from both, hence his delay. All reports are now being mnde and when completed will le published. G. R.
