OLYMFIA, Wash., Nov. 1. (Special.)
The re-election of Senator Jones and
election of RepuDllcan Representatives
from the three Western Washington
Congressional districts are regarded as
practically assured by Washington po
litical prognostlcators. Republican cam
paign managers also assert that they
will elect Representatives from the
Fourth and Fifth Congressional dis
tricts, both In Eastern Washington,
but while the Republican candidates in
both districts are regarded as having
better than even chances Democratic
strength east of the Cascades is suffi
cient to cause some doubt, depending
largely upon how greatly the Progres
sive votes will detract from the normal
Republican strength.
The element of the Progressive vote
Is the factor that is puzzling all cam
saifn managers. After carrying the
state for Roosevelt with 113,698 votes
In 1912, the Bull Moose strength waned
to 25,322 ballots at the September pri
maries, while the Republicans cast
100,204 votes at the primaries. An ex
ceptionally vigorous personal campaign
waged by Ole Hanson, the Progressive
Senatorial candidate, tne tnird party
leaders maintain, will help to bolster
up the Progressive cause at the gen
eral election.
Hanson Picked for Second Choice.
It Is generally accepted that Hanson
will be the most dangerous rival of
Senator Jones and Democrats generally
admit that In Western Washington
Hanson will poll thousands more votes
than W. W. Black, Democratic sena
torial candidate.
In the First Congressional district,
comprising the city of Seattle and Kit
sap County, although a particularly
sharp fight has been made against Rep
resentative Humphrey, the anti-Hum
phrey strength appears so evenly di
vided between William Hickman
Moore, Democratic candidate, and Aus
tin E. Griffiths, Progressive, that
Humphrey's re-election is generally
conceded.
In the Second district, comprising
Northwestern Washington counties,
Lindley H. Hadley, Bellingham attor
ney and Republican candidate. Is con
ceded the election. J. E. Campbell, Pro
gressive candidate, has not considered
his own chances of election sufficient
to warrant him in resigning his seat
In the state senate, while Earl Husted.
Democratic candidate, will be a poor
third in the race.
Condition Benefit Johnson.
In the Third district. Southwestern
Washington, Representative Johnson,
of.Hoquiam, appears about to become
the beneficiary of a situation similar
to that in the First district. Stanton
Warburton, Progressive candidate, and
Charles Drury, Democrat, each is as
serting that he only has a chance ot
defeating Johnson, each attempting to
draw the other's strength. The anti
Johnson vote probably will be com
paratively evenly divided between the
two. It is generally predicated that
Johnson . probably will win by the
largest plurality of any Congressional
candidate in the state.
In the Fourth district Representative
La Follette is opposed for re-election
by R. M. Drumheller, Democrat. Mr.
La Follette defeated Mr. Drumheller
by 3000 votes in 1912 in the counties
comprising the present Fourth district,
and while the Republican candidate
has been handicapped somewhat by the
necessity of remaining in Washington.
Mr. Drumheller has lost votes on ac
count of his attitude toward national
prohibition, the district being strongly
"dry." M. A. Peacock, Progressive can
didate, is an inconsequential element
In this district.

today the accumulation was greatly
increased and cash contributions also
have been received. Plans prepared
by Earl Goode, the Boosters' Class
teacher, call for a two-story building
with a Sunday school room on the sec

on the first floor. According to these
plans the structure will be used solely
by the Boosters. A larger building
may be built if the contribution of

eedlatieis of
lie i-axpayers League
NOVEMBER 3d, 1914
The Taxpayers' League was organized many years ago. It has
always taken an active interest in public affairs. Since the adop
tion of the Initiative and Referendum it has at each election made
recommendations to the voters on the measures proposed.
As an earnest and consistent friend of the initiative and referen
dum the League protests against their indiscriminate use as a means
of advancing some individual's peculiar views, or some special inter
est, or. as a weapon to "get even" with some official who may per
chance disagree with some one in the conduct of the affairs of his
office. The initiative and referendum "were intended and can
only be used as a safeguard by the public against misrepresentation
by the Legislature and not as an original source of, general legisla
tion." Twenty-nine measures appear on the ballot. Of these, fifteen
are constitutional amendments, and fourteen are bills for proposed
laws. The character and purpose of some bf the measures merit
most careful consideration.
The League would feel it were derelict in its duty if it did not
emphasize the fact that this is not the time for revolutionary or ex
perimental legislation. World-wide as well as local conditions
should warn us to be on our guard. The constant submission of
half-baked; illy-considered and often radical measures is unques-,
tionably beginning to create distrust abroad, with the result,
whether they pass or not, that everyone is a sufferer from it. The
laborer, the mechanic, the merchant, the banker, and the property
holder alike, are interested. In the interest of this state there is
but one attitude for the citizen to take and that is to be sure he is
right, and that he understands a measure before he votes. At a
1913 city election every measure proposed was defeated. Such a
result is far better than to inadvertently pass some law that will
cause the people of this state untold loss before it can be repealed.
Measures of far-reaching consequence are on the ballot. The single
and graduated tax, although defeated by a vote of more than two to
one two years ago, appear in a different guise but for the same pur
pose and backed by the same interests Eight-hour laws that would
make even the conduct of a f ar.m or the household impossible are
submitted ; a bill levying a confiscatory tax on estates of not less
than ten per cent and as much more as may be provided by law,
and to create a department of industry and public works to furnish
work for the unemployed is also proposed. State-wide prohibition
is to be voted on. Abolishment of the Senate and proportional rep
resentation are also proposed.
These are but a few of the important measures upon which the
people are called to take action. Under existing conditions we sub
mit to the wage-earner, the home-owner and the capitalist alike that
due consideration should be given before embarking upon experi
mental legislation and revolutionary changes. WE URGE THE
VOTER WHEN IN DOUBT TO VOTE "NO." The League has
studied the different measures proposed and submits the following
advice and suggestions to voters for their consideration.
1. VOTE ON EVERY MEASURE.
2. WHEN IN DOUBT VOTE "NO."
3. BETTER BE SURE THAN SORRY.

VOTERS TO BE. CITIZENS.
A constitutional amendment prescribing citizen
ship as a qualification for voting. An immigrant
with first papers can vote now. In view of the
important duties of a voter in this state, full
citizenship is not too high a requirement.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES."
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR.
To act as President of the Senate, and to receive
$10 a day during legislative session. To succeed
the Governor In case the latter dies or is dis
cqualified. Would prevent log-rolling for Presi
dency of the Senate, and would provide a sub
stitute for the Governor on Board of Control.
The Secretary of State, In case he succeeds, as at
present, has two votes, an absolute control.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES."
CONSOLIDATION OF CITY AND COUNTY GOV
ERNMENT. Gives the Legislature, or the people by the initia
tive, power to consolidate city and county gov
ernment where a city has over 100.000 inhab
itants. This would eliminate a large amount of
duplication and needless expense and simplify
government very materially.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES." 4
INCREASE OF STATE DEBT LIMIT.
Prescribing a debt limit of not to exceed two per
cent of assessed valuation for road building, and
a like amount for the construction of irrigation,
power projects and agricultural development.
Appropriates no money, but authorizes It to b
done if deemed advisable. It would authorize the
state to issue bonds up to $38,000,000.
This is excessive.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
ABOLISHING UNIFORM TAXATION RULE.
A constitutional amendment eliminating the pres
ent requirement that all taxation be equal and
uniform. Briefly stated, the purpose of these
proposed amendments Is to authorize classifica
tion of property for taxation. A necessary change
if we expect ever to have fair and equitable taxa
tion In this state. Recommended by State Tax
Commission.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES."
CLASSIFICATION FOR TAXATION PURPOSES.
Providing for general laws to govern the levy
of taxes; permitting classification of property for
taxation purposes, and also Income and propor
tional or graduated taxes, and authorizing rea
sonable exemptions. This and the preceding
measure go together and form a constitutional
basts for rational and equitable tax reform In
this state. This and the foregoing amendment
are both sound and progressive and should not
be confused with any other tax measure or
measures.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES.
THE ASHLAND NORMAL.
Levying 1-40 of a mill on all taxable property in
the state for the construction and support of a
Normal School at Ashland. This presents a clear
Issue of whether the voters want more Normal
SchoJs or not.
NO RECOMMENDATION.
MERGER OF CITIES.
A constitutional amendment authorizing a gen
eral law to allow a city to surrender its charter
and be merged into an adjoining city, on vote of
a majority of the electors of each of the cities
affected. There being no way to effect such
consolidation now. this measure is advisable.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES
EASTERN OREGON STATE NORMAL.
Levying 1-40 of a mill tax for a Normal Schopl at
Weston In Umatilla County. A measure similar.
to 812-313 above.
NO RECOMMENDATION.
INCREASING PAY TO MEMBERS OF THE LEG
ISLATURE. Legislative pay is 3 a day. with a forty-day
limit. This increases it to $5 a day for sixty
days. It is not apparent that a small Increase
in pay would secure higher-class men, or that
lengthening the session, without providing for a
divided session, would be beneficial. The league
believes legislative reform should go deeper and
be more radical.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
UNIVERSAL EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
This measure provides that no one shall work
more than eight hours per day in any employ
ment whatsoever. It would disorganize and
make Impossible much of the business and work
carried on In the state. Domestic help and farm
labor would be particularly hard hit under it.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
EIGHT-HOUR LAW FOR WOMEN.
This prescribes an eight-hour day in most of the
occupations in which women are employed. The
State Industrial Welfare Commission is now in
charge of the work, with ample authority to
enforce any provisions of the sort It finds advla-
1 able. This law is superfluous, would needlessly
complicate and confuse the situation and would
work a positive hardship on many women at
present employed. It is inflexible, and exceptions
could not be made, as is now possible under the
supervision of the Welfare Commission.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
834 YES. NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.
825 NO. This bill prohibits party nominations for judicial
offices and provides for nominations by petition
of one per cent of the legal voters in the district.
Would prevent political designation on the bal
lot. Would make possible a choice of judges on
the basis of fitness rather than party affilia
tions and party services. The Legislature or the
people can provide for preferential voting if they
desire. A non-partisan election should do much
to keep the Judiciary out of politics. .
v VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "YES." A
828 YES. f 15O0 TAX EXEMPTION.
327 NO. Exempting, from taxation all personal property.
dwelling houses, buildings and improvements on
land, livestock, etc., up to $1500. belonging to
any one person, the land itself to be taxed. This
is one of Mr. U'Ren's measures and is partial
single tax. Single tax has been repudiated very
decisively in this state. It is not working satis
factorily anywhere else, and this Is a poor time
for Oregon to experiment with It.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
S2S YES. PUBLIC DOCKS AND WATER-FRONTAGE.
829 NO. An amendment prohibiting the sale of beds of
navigable waters ' and subjecting the same to
public use. Providing for leasing to private par
ties for constructing wharves, docks, etc. Would
revoke valuable wharfage rights claimed by
riparian owners on which taxes have long been
paid and in which the state has acquiesced.
Adoption of the amendment would be followed
by long litigation and uncertainty as to titles. '
Would remove much property from the tax rolls
and unsettle conditions to an extent the state
can 111 afford at this time.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
330 YES. MUNICIPAL WHARVES AND DOCKS.
831 NO. This measure follows the preceding one and
authorizes the building of municipal wharves
and docks on the land covered by that amend
ment. It should stand or fall with the preceding
one.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE. "NO."
S3S YES. PROHIBITION.
833 NO. This is a clear issue, on which the people are
well advised, and on which It appears that any
recommendation would be superfluous.
NO RECOMMENDATION.
834 YES. ABOLISHING DEATH PENALTY.
835 NO. This is another clear issue on which opinion la
already well formed.
NO RECOMMENDATION.
YES. SUR-TAX.
NO. This levies a confiscatory tax on all owners of
realty assessed at more than $25,000. No argu
ment is possible in support of this sort of pro
vision. - Is an attempt to impose burdensome
taxation on lands and to reach single tax by in
direction. Would ruin the market or land and
do inestimable harm to the state. It Is In sub
stance the same bill as was proposed and over
whelmingly defeated two years ago as part of
the single tax programme.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
CONSOLIDATING CORPORATION AND INSUR
ANCE DEPARTMENTS.
This is a spite measure and an obvious abuse
of the initiative. An attempt to legislate an
officer out of office on personal grounds. It
should be decisively defeated.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO. VOTE "NO."
DENTISTRY BILL.
Another personal measure, obviously initiated for
advertising purposes. Would put the standard of
efficiency in the practice of dentistry lower than
in almost any other state. An abuse of the
initiative.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. INCREASING TERM OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
NO. Would give four-year terms to the officers elect
ed at this election. If an officer has made good
at the end of two years he will be re-elected.
If not, the two-year term gives the people an
opportunity to get rid of him. without the ex
pense of a recall. This measure would not reduce
the number of elections and would not cut down
expenses.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
844 YES. TAX CODE COMMISSION.
345 NO. The state now has a Tax Commission, and has
heretofore had various special ones. No real tax
reform Is possible unless the constitutional
amendments Nos. 308, 309 and Nos. 310, 311 are
carried. The proposed commission is superfluous.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."

YES. ABOLISHING DESERT LAND BOARD.
NO. This measure abolishes the office of State Engi
neer and abolishes the Desert Land Board. The
measure is Ill-advised and would largely nullify
the present Water Code, and hamper very seri
ously the co-operative work with the Federal
Government In stream measurement, topographic
map making, etc. The State Engineer Is a
necessary officer, and the office is doing excel
lent work. No reason appears why it should be
stopped.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.
K. Provides that each voter vote for one candidate
for representative and the sixty In the state re
ceiving the highest number be elected. Ques
tionable If this would give us as representative
legislators as we now have. A large proportion
of votes would be wasted on very popular can
didates, who would be elected anyhow, or others
with no chance. With no eliminating process a
large proportion would be elected with only a
small plurality. Each legislator having one vote,
a man elected by 25.000 votes and another by 1000
would have equal authority. A majority in the
Legislature would not necessarily in any way
represent the majority of the voters. And, un
less that condition is to be attained, no change is
Justified.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. ABOLISHING STATE SENATE.
NO. Experience has shown that some check on legis
lative action is wise. The two-house system is
approved by the experience of all parts of the
world. This measure proposes to abolish the
Senate, usually composed of the older and more
experienced legislators, and to turn the whole
work over to the House of Representatives.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY AND PUBLIC
WORKS.
NO. This Is a measure initiated by the Socialist party,
providing for a tax of not less than 10 per cent
and as much more as the Legislature may name
on a'.l estates of deceased persons, amounting
to $50,000 or over, and for appropriations to be
made for the support of a department to take
care of the unemployed. It would draw the
unemployed of the whole United States to Oregon
to be supported by the people of this state.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. PRIMARY DELEGATE ELECTION BILL.
NO. This measure would add one election to the num
ber we now have, with the effect of getting us
back to the old convention system. It is an
attempt to knock out the present direct primary
In a very expensive and cumbersome way.
VOTERS ARE ADVISED TO VOTE "NO."
YES. TAXATION TWO-THIRDS VOTE TO AMEND
OR REPEAL.
NO. This measure, if carried, would make permanent
the present defective and Inadequate taxation
system in this stale by requiring a two-thirds
vote to modify It. It is the more dangerous In
that 'it would perpetuate any of the illy-consid-J
;: ered or confiscatory tax measures that may pass
, at this election. It is strictly a "gag" measure.

EUGENE. Or., Nov. 1 (Special.)
Senator Chamberlain's campaign slo
Kan. "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me,'
which brought sickly applause from a
Democratic audience here a week ago.
was echoed from the same stage, taken
up by the derisive cheer of a great
Booth rally last night and made one of
the issues to defeat the candidate ac
cused tonight of having "kissed" his
way into the United States Senate by
issue-dodging.
"Mr. Booth stands for certain poli
cies," said Senator Calkins, ot Eugene,
and he has answered all questions.
His opponent answered you in Eugene
with "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me.' Do
we want a shoo fly candidate?
He then analyzed the campaign
statement of the Democratic candi
date.
'"The only thing he tells you he has
done Is to get. the passage of a bill
carrying $35,000,000 to Alaska. He for
gets to tell you that he obtained for
Oregon the passage of a tariff bill
which placed milk, eggs, wool, 1 paper
and lumber all those things which
Oregon produces on the free list. He
forgot to tell you that he passed tbe
the bill removing the obligation to
spend the revenues from the Government-owned
timber in the state where
it is sold. The result: Oregon contrib
utes $10,000,000 to the reclamation
fund and gets back $5,000,000. Arizona
contributes $1,000,000 and gets back
$18,000,000. No wonder our state is

R. A. Booth for four years by Heney
and Burns, with the packing of Jury
boxes, was to "get something on him,"
in the vain hope of forcing Mr. Booth

He decried the customary efforts of
the Democrats to cloud the issue of
principles for one of personalities.
