8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTIiAJfD, OCTOBER 31, 1913. NON PARTISAN PLAN i HANGS IN BALANCE ; Defeat of California Measure i Leaves Uncertain Impres- , sion in Washington. 'STATUS OF MOVE IN DOUBT Progressives May Abandon Intention to Initiate Similar Amendment. Greater Number of Referen dum Acts Held Assured. s OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct. SO. (Special.) Defeat of the California non-partisan ' election measure may mean the aban donment by Washington Progressives ;of a plan to initiate a similar amend ?ment next year. The recent Legislature, in passing the so-called Whitney bill, a prominent feature of the Republican election law :irogramm, provided for greater party responsibility and Incidentally greater party power by establishing legal party conventions and binding all nominees .to pledge allegiance to the platform adoptey the convention of their Jparty. Governor Lister vetoed this meas .iire, together with the bills . limiting the operation of the initiative, refer endum and. recall. All were repassed :over his veto, but were held up by ref erendum petitions. I Radical Step Is Planned. J While Democrats started the refer endum movement, the Progressives in -effect took the campaign over, obtain ing three times the necessary number of signatures through the agency of 'the "joint legislative committee" of the State Orange, State Federation of La bor and farmers' unions. So elated were the leaders with the ase with which the referendum sig natures were obtained, that they planned to initiate two measures, to come up next November at the same ;1lme as the referred bills, which would 'represent a. radical step in the direc tion opposite to that aimed at by the Republican state programme. These initiative bills were to be a non-partisan election law and a "blanket ballot" law. The exact ground to be covered by these measures had not been determined definitely, but general plans were for the non-parti-tan election law to cover county offi cials and members of the Legislature, and for the "blanket ballot" plan to provide for a single sheet of paper to ' tover the primary candidates of all parlies. Purpose Still In Doubt. ; This was the status of the plan up to the time that the returns from the California election came in. Progres sive leaders have not indicated yet Tvhether they will allow the substan tial plurality rolled up in California against the non-partisan plan to chunge their purpose. Whether the non-partisan bill is in itiated, or not, it is certain that at next year's election there will be a greater number of initiative and referendum measures before the voters of Wash ington than in 1914. when this state had its first experiment with direct legislation. For next year there are already on the ballot l!st one proposed constitu tional amendment to limit voting at bond elections to" taxpayers: seven ref erendum measures, including the three election bills which were chief fea tures of the Republican legislative pro gramme: one initiative measure, the "hotelmen's" anti-prohibition bill, in itiated to the Legislature and going? ' row to the people, since the Legisla ture failed to take any action upon. it. Ultimate Support Ts Doubted. Alhough this initiative measure is rure to go on the ballot, objections to it have been so numerous that It is in the last degree improbable that its original sponsors will put up any cam paign in its behalf. Therefore, if the prohibition issue is to be raised seriously in the election, another measure must be initiated as a substitute. Whatever may be done along prohi bition lines undoubtedly will be taken up as a campaign issue. Whether or not there i3 to be a renewal of the "wet" and "dry" fight, however, there will be an ample sufficiency of other Initiative measures. Governor Lister has indicated a will ingness to appoint a commission of employers and employes to draft a new "first-aid" bill to be submitted by in itiative, if the request comes from both elements. The League of Washington Munici palities has decided to initiate two "home rule" bills. Intended to take the rontrol of public utilities within the limits of cities out of the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission by placing the corporations solely under the city legislative authority. There la a possibility that the State Federation of Labor may decide to back an initiative measure to establish a state system of employment bureaus, the operation of private bureaus hav ing been prohibited by an initiative act passed last year. BRIDGE APPLIANCES ARRIVE Coos Bay Span to Have Electrical Interlocking System. MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct. SO. (Spe rial.) The steam schooner Thomas L. Wand, which arrived the fore port of the week from San Francisco, brought 30 tons of paraphernalia and device's for installation of an electrical signal and interlocking system for the Wil- lamette-Pacihc bridge across Coos Bay and its approaches. According to the statement of Super intendent Charlton the system will ex tend from a mile and a half to two miles each side of the bridge. When trains approach the draw, which must remain continually open except when trains are crossing, the signals will advise the bridge operator when two miles distant, giving sufficient time in wntcn to turn the draw. The system is electrically automatic and on closing of the draw the rails arc locked so there is no possibility of their being misplaced or out of alignment. The big draw. 450 feet long, which is operated by an 80-horsepower gaso line engine, was turned for the first time recently and found to be perfectly aojustea. 250 TEACHERS HEAR TALK President Kerr, at McMinnville Sleeting, Traces Education Progress M'MINNVILLE. Or,' Oct. SO. (Spe eial.) "Educational Ideals for 2000 years after Plato involved nothing more than the training of the govern ing classes. Mental culture and polish were- the supreme ends of education said President W. J. Kerr, of the Ore gon Agricultural College, in an address buora- 3i0 -teacher of Norm T&maUJ County schools. "In America," Dr. Kerr continued, "from the founding of Har vard College up to the end of the Rev olutionary War. nothing was added to this ancient curriculum but physics, chemistry and divinity. A change be gan with the ordinance of 1787. but it was not until the passage of the Morrill act of Congress in 1862 that the real revolution in modern educational ideals began. Then came the realization that public education was a National need, not for the professional classes only, but for the industrial classes. "A longr stride from the older ideals, which excluded women entirely and which recognized the needs of the gov erning classes only, to the new ideals that include - engineering, scientific training in agriculture and home economics, has been made through the agency of free public education. Yet even within the past, half century the fight for- free schools has been fought and won. Not until 1909 did the Na tional Educational Association indorse industrial education for the public schools. The present ideal, now firmly established, is to reach all the children of all the people with the kind of train ing that will fit them for the kind of life work that they will need." SALEM SPAN MAY STAY REPORT IS THAT ORDER FOR CLOS ING WILL BE RESCINDED. Polls County Is Declared ITnable to Bear Proportionate Cost of Proposed New Bridge. DALLAS, Ot.. Oct, 80. (Special.) The protest of Judge Teal against the closing of the Saiem bridge, together with the fact that Folk County would be unable to raise by general taxation, without special vote, its proportionate cost of a new bridge, and the objec tions of the business men of the city of Salem who would lose thousands ot dollars in trade, is said to be responsi ble for a change of heart on the part of those heretofore Insistent upon the closing of the bridge. It is reported here from a reliable source that the present bridge will be repaired along the lines suggested by County Judge Teal, and that traffic across the same will be permitted until a new bridge is constructed. When the Polk County Court com menced to do business in January of 1915 it faced a deficit of $30,702. The first action of the court was to pay off this outstanding indebtedness. The levy of 1914 did not raise enough money to pay off this indebtedness, and at the same time carry on the extensive Improvements called for during the present year, and - hence the county faces the first of next January with another deficit, though not as large as that of the past year. The Southern Pacific Company re fused to pay taxes on the land grant lands in this county, and consequently receipts were reduced $40,000. During the past year more road im provement has been carried on than during any previous year in the history of the county. For the first time in the hiBtory of the county, automobiles will be able to make the trip during the Winter from Falls City, through Dallas, to Salem. For the past few vears the road between Dallas and Sa lem has been passable in Winter for automobiles, only when snow was on the ground. ONTARIO PLANS FAIR CORN CARNIVAL WILL BE HELD NOVEMBER 11-12.

Growth In Crab-fishing Industry Is Expected Wnen Improvement of Bar Is Completed. ABERDEEN, Wash Oct. 30. (Spe cial.) After a rather ' late start the salmon run on Grays Harbor is heavy now and most of the six canneries are operating overtime. Packers expect to nandle between 100,000 and 200,000 cases of salmon here this season. This pack will comprise the work of three canneries in Aberdeen, one in Hoquiam and two tft Moclips. The run during the past week has been the heaviest of the season, but consisted largely of dog salmon. Some silvereides were taken. Fishermen are receiving five cents for dog salmon and two cents a pound for the silver sides. The packing plants have been littered with great piles of fish, some times between 8000 and 10,000 being heaped in one pile. Grays Harbor crab fishermen look forward to the growth of that indus try here when the improvementct the Grays Harbor bar is completed. They say the improvement will permit small crafts to get over the bar more easily. The business Is an especially profit able one, if the crab fishermen are able to get in many days of fishing. One crab fisherman usually will aver age 125 a day for each time ha gets out over the bar. Most of the Portland crab buyers are attempting to sell them locally. jnese are snipped as far East as Chi cago. The sum spent for newspaper advertising In the United Sratea is S25O.000.O00. This Is 40 per cent of all advertising and more than four times as much as in the second largest inwnum. H. H. TAYLOR WOULD BE Guy Martin, Once Bull Moose Candidate; May Be Out for Attorney-General. SOUTH ADDS TO ASPIRANTS Judge E. A. Walters Suggested for Justice and James H. , Wise, of Twin Falls, for Place ol J. II. Peterson, Wlio Retires. BOISE, Idaho. Oct 30. (Special) Lieutenant-Governor Taylor, of Sand point, will be a candidate for Gover nor at the Republican primaries in this state, instead of for Attorney-General. In fact, it is likely his own county will produce a candidate for Attorney General in Guy Martin, Progressive party candidate for Governor in 1912, who is being urged by Republicans and Progressives alike to make the race. The possibility that Edward A. Wal ters may enter the Republican Guber natorial race from the south and the fact that James H. Wise, of Twin Falls, is being groomed for Attorney- oeneral from the same section have added much interest to recent devel opments in political circles this week. Secflonal Lines Objected To. Lieutenant-Governor Taylor has au thorized, the following statement: intend to become a candidate for Gov ernor but I do not believe that the time is now ripe to announce my can didacy. , I don't like the idea of get- ting into the political game a year or more before the primaries, but I may be forced to announce my candidacy sooner than I would like to on account of the activities of candidates from other parts of the state. "I don't want to be considered a sec tional man. If nominated and elected I do not want it said I am from the north. The Governor of Idaho should be from all parts of the state. The fact remains, however, . that if th north will get together on a candidate that man can be nominated and elected. Best Republican Wanted. "The south has the big majority of votes and Governor Alexander will undoubtedly get a good vote in South ern Idaho. -The northern candidate should get a majority of 6000 votes il North Idaho. "You can say for me that I am just good enough a Republican to consider Republican success ahead of my own ambitions. . If I am led to believe that I could not be nominated, and elected. I certainly would not hinder the nomi nation and election of a Republican who could, be elected and who would he able to serve the state to the high est degree of efficiency. "In such a case I will be the first tc want to keep out of the race and to bend all my efforts to working for the best man." If Mr. Taylor throws his hat into the ring he will be the first Lieutenant- Governor to do so. (in j- Martin Urged to Run. Party leaders confirm the Teport that pressure has been brought from Repub lican and Progressive party sources on Guy Martin, of Sandpoint. Mr. Mar tin made a remarkable run for Gov ernor in 1912 in a three-cornered fight and, had it not been for the fact voters had to write in the Progressive party Presidential electors he might have been elected. While Mr. Martin was enthusiastical ly supported in 1912, it is questionable if the Progressives would give him the same support again, due to his refusal to be their candidate for Governor i 1914. At the very last moment, almost, in that campaign Mr. Martin refused to accept the nomination and the party leaders were forced to make a hurried canvass for a substitute. They secured Hugh E. McEIroy, who made a good showing, but was defeated. Judge Walters Vet Doubtful. George R. Barker. Secretary of State, will be a candidate for re-election. Efforts to bring Judge Edward A. Walters, of Twin Falls, out as a non partisan candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court have not as yet been successful. Many of his friends be lieve he would be a stronger candi date for Governor and every effort has been made to groom him for that of fice. Judge Walters is noncommittal. Attorney-General Peterson will not be a candidate for renomination. Mr. Wise, of Twin Falls, is looked upon here as a prospective candidate. TAX LIEN OPINION GIVEN District Attorneys Need Not Prose cute Foreclosure Suits. SALEM, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) It is no longer the official duty of Dis trict Attorneys to prosecute foreclos ures brought by holders of delinquency tax liens, except when the county holds the liens, according to an opinion ren dered today by Attorney-General Brown. The opinion was given in re sponse to a request of Frederick Stei wer. District Attorney for Umatilla County. Under section 3S97 of Lord's Oregon laws it was the duty of the District Attorney to prosecute all actions brought by holders of certificates. The last Legislature amended this so that now County Clerks furnish certificate holders with the necessary papers upon payment of 12 for each suit brought. GOVERNOR IS ENTERTAINED Mr. Withycombe and Aide Pass Tbrongh Rosebarg to Fair. ROSEBURG, Or, Oct. 30. (Special.) Governor . James Withycombe and his military aide, who passed through RoseburgWednesday en route to San Francisco to be present at the expos! tion on Oregon day, were informally entertained during their brief delay here. In addition to a number of promi nent Republicans and business men Mr. Markee, of the Soldiers' Home, was present to welcome the state's chief executive. Governor Withycombe an nounced that he would return to Rose- burg soon and Inspect the Soldiers' Home, which is under the jurislctlon of the Board of Control.

Action la Compliance With Demand by Governor Lister for Economy In Department. OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 30. (Special) The Washington Public Service Com mission has announced the closing at the end of this month of the last of the elaborate offices established sev eral months ago by Chairman Reynolds the service bureau and the chemical laboratory. This action apparently has been taken by Commissioners Lewis and Spinning over the protests of Chair man Reynolds, who insisted until yes terday that the Seattle laboratory should be maintained. Engineering headquarters, which employed more men than all employes of the Commis sion in Olympia, were removed from Seattle two months ago, but at the chairman's request the service bureau and laboratory were allowed to re main for a time. The service bureau will be consoli dated with the rate department, under Rate Expert O. O. Calderhead. Mr. Dorisey's position as chemist will be abolished, ' and the testing of samples of city water will be turned over to an Olympia expert at a flat monthly rate. Chairman Reynolds was quoted - a year ago as favoring the removal of all offices to Seattle, but disputed the accuracy of this interview. Shortly after his appointment large offices were rented in Seattle, however. Ex penses of the new arrangement caused Governor Lister to protest and Insist upon Deing shown a definite plan for reirencnment. MtUPM GROWING TOWN WASCO SHIPPING OUTLET IS YS FERTILE VALLEY'S CENTER. Access Possible Through Two Rail roads Much Wheat Is Handled During: Each Year. MAUPIN, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) Mauptn, named after the old mount taineer that killed Paulina, chief of the Snakes, lies at the foot of the Ochoko Mountains and in one of the most fertile valleys in the. state. It Is the youngest of all Wasco County towns. Thomas Edison, when he a few years ago passed through the valley of the uescnutes River that flows in front of the town, declared that "you have a soil wblhc for its fertility beats the world." Maupin is served with water from a clear mountan stream that breaks from the mountain immediately behind the town and is reputed to have a maximum power potentiality of 180 horsepower. The soil that has made Maupin fa mous for its productivity is sedimen tary wash covered with volcanic ash. The town is accesxble by both the roads of the Oregon Trunk and the O. W. R. & N. Co. It is the shipping cen ter for the southern part of Wasco County. Last year this town, only a few years old, shipped 150,000 bushels of wheat, 300,000 pounds of wool, 65 carloads of hogs. 10 carloads of cattle and 10 carloads of sheep.

NEW .INDUSTRIES BOB UP Influx of Settlers Made to Timber Regions of Siletz Valley and Lumber Projects Spurt Ahead. Varied Orchards Thriving. FALLS CITT. Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) The extension in busines operations in this city, an influx of settlers to the timbered- regions of the Siletz "Valley, increased acreage In prunes and smaller fruits, and the introduction of the dairying Industry into the western sec tion of Polk County mark the advent of a new period in the economic history of Falls City and the vats surrounding territory. This city, in the heart of Polk Coun ty. 15 miles west of the Willamette River, at the falls of the North Luckia- mute. is one of the logging centers of Polk County. With the erection of a mill here in 1905 a growing business began. Douglas fir from the regions about Black Rock waa sent here and a specialty has since been made of the fir lumber product. Under normal operat ing conditions the Falls City Lumber Company employs approximately aoq men. Big Shipment Mark Reached. The average output of the Falls City mill is 100,000 feet a day, approximate ly 2,500,000 feet a month. Three years ago the shipments to outside points reached a record of zo.uoo.ouo feet. Trees from 18 to 25 feet in circumfer ence comomnly are cut and the logs between Falls City and the biletz ia sin are of an exceptionally good Qual ity. . An enormous value is represented in the standing timber. Within the bor ders of Polk County are 152,720 acres 150,000 privately owned and 2720 in the National reserve. White pine, oak, larch, hemlock and cedar are found in considerable quantities, but Douglas fir is the principal variety. Falls City activity in logging has prompted a recent review of the early economic development of the Upper Luckiamute Valley. Early-day settlers left the best lands and built their cab ins on the barren hillsides where tim ber had been burned off by the Indians. Better Roads Soon Built. Roads were built to the mills and as the influx of settlers increased the falls became the logical center of trade. A postoffice. established one and one-half miles east of here in 18S1, was moved to Falls City in 1885. Churches and schools came. An early Grange was the first economic organisation which bound the inhabitants together and led to Incorporation in 188.. The arrival of the railroad in 1903 marked the beginnig of the second pe riod in industrial development. The donkey engine came, logging operations were extended and the annual output leaped. Thousands of cattle during the past year have been placed to graze on the logged-off area of the Falls City coun try. Tests of stumping methods are being made, and one process of burning o of yf Non-Skid Tires the stumps has been adopted by own ers of email tracts. The prune industry has taken firm root in the bills near Falls City, but the increase in acreage waits on the clearing of the stumps. Many orchards are ten years old. The extension of the dairying opera tions in the surrounding country since it recent introduction shows that the real future of the Falls City Valley lies in the development of dairying. A campaign is on for the develop ment of the tile and brick industry here. The soil is ideal and farmers are demanding more of the product. During the last three years new store buildings have gone aip in Falls City and the volume of business has shown great gains. Navy Ball at Aberdeen Is Set. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Oct. 30. (Spe cial.)
