County Official Paper Burneriptmn: Ona Dollar par Annum, Bi x Monthi, 80 cU. ; Thr Month. 3S eta. laaaed ;Kery .Tharaday BT I.ONO McKINNET IMPORTANT TO VOTERS In another column will be found an article touching upon the tar- ious amendments to the contlitu tion, and bills, which if carried at the June election, will become part of oar constitutional law and itat ntea. Here is a chance and it is a privilege erjojed in no state save Oregon for'you to become an act ive, representative, personal part of the lawmaking power of your state Your vote will be for good or ill. These amendments and bills should receive your serious consideration. You are now vested with the power of lawmakers, thus governing your reives. Give the article your at tention, and when you vote, do so only after you have given the var ious measures your serious atten tion. Some of the bills will meet your approval; others will not. You are now in a position that you are a legislative part of the state. If you abuse the privilege; if you do not vote intelligently on meas ures' if you do not give these prop ositions the thought they merit from you as a legislative quantity , theo, you are false to yourself and to the political ideal that every menwho is a good citizen is entitled to have a voice in the lawmaking of ais state. Heretofore you have sent7, men to the legislature, and tbey have many times played foot ball, with your ideas of what was gocd legislation, and imposed laws upon you, by log-rolling, that you know are vicious. But you have a cbabce to exercise your own judge ment, and if you do not so do, you are 'recreant to yourself and your state, your neighbors, and your posterity. la the death of Samuel Elliott Washington County loses one of its reepVcted pioneers. He was a man of sterling worth and his reverses andjill health', which he bore with fortitude, is a matter of regret to his hundreds of friends in this sec, tion. He raised a large family, and they Jiave been a credit to the citizenship of. the West. He was prominent in the counsels of bis fellows when Oregon wss in its in fancy, and many a pioneer will read of his demise with sorrow His helpmeet of over 50 years has the sympathy that is due to a wo. man who has lived worthily and been a heart-to-heart companion to a man who, in turn, earned the re spect of his fellows in his communi ty- - . .-:. jio and the word "ye" on the ballot. If to are in favor vi a body of legisla tor making laws for a town which the v perhaps have never seen, then you should vote against this amendment. - 6. Constitutional amendment to put state printer on a salary. This is un questionably one ot we most important measures up for your consideration . The state printer's oifioe has cost you dollars upon dollars that should now lie in your own pockets, or expended for your own benefit. Crack the state printer's great graft, and vote an X between jtl and the wont "yes." Ji not by anv means vote against this amendment. It is endorsed by every practical citizen; was made the subject "of especial mention in Gov. Chamberlain's messages, and should re ceive, your hearty support. Help the governor; help the taxpayers; help your own pocket book by amending the con stitution so that you can vole a law giving state printer a reasonable salary, cutting out the present outrageous pay that means money out of your pocket every time vou pay a state tax and yon must pav tiiis every year. This is im portant; there are times under the pres ent system when the state printer makes four or five hundred dollars in a single night when the legislature is in session and the state printer can at the same time be in bed with the work under the direction of a forenun paid by you. Vote for this measure if you value the sweat of your brow; if you are a business man vote it on the grounds of common sense; and if you don't pay a dollar of tax vote for it anyway, as the present law robs your neighbor. 7. This is a bill, which if receiving a majority, becomes a law at once, alter the general "election. This bill should become a law. It needs your Aipport. It prohibits railways and transportation companies from giving free passes to any public officer; ami to make railways each year report each and every pass they give to persons. This does not stop compan ies from giving their employees, or etu- Sloyees of friendly roads, passes; neither oes it stop excursion rales which can be enjoyed by whosoever wants to take advantage of rate, provided all can who wish, but it means that your public of ficers can not ride on passes, thus in a sense being vour officer for a salary, and the corporation's officer for free rides. You should vote for this bill. It will mean a cleaner public service. When you pay a public officer his salary you do not wish him to be under obligations to railroad companies, or any other cor poration. Vote an X between 316 aud the word "yes." o The most important a measure to allow the people to take Initiative and put to vote to veto, or sustain, any par ticular, or objectionable, part of the gen eral appropriation bill. Also parts of laws in same manner. By all means put an X between 314 and "Yes" and save yourself a right to kill gratis which you otherwise must go down in your pocket and pay, or hold up the entire legitimate appropriations while vote is in progress. 9. This is a bill requiring sleeping car and Pullman companies, refrigerator car and oil companies to pay an animal license on their gross earnings. They all get you; here is a chance for you to make them pay for the privileges they enjoy. Vote 31S and "yes" if you want it to pass and X between 319 and "no" if you want them to operate as they have in the past. 10. This measure is practically the same as above only that it requires ex press companies, telegraph companies ana teiepnone companies to pay an an nual license upon their gross earnings, If yon vote for the bill to become a law vote an A. between 330 and the word "yes." If yon vote no then put an X between 321 and the word "no." If there is anything further that a reader of the Argus does not comprehend about these measures, let him write the Argus and it will be published complete. SAFETY AND PROFIT Safety and proSt are the two im port ant things to consider in select ing a bank. Money is such a hard thing to get and so hard to keep, that it is folly to place it where it will not be Bafe. Thus those who VOTERS, NAKE YOUR LAWS There are many amendments to be voted Upon at UieUune' election. Voters her have a chance to effect their own legisla tion, ine amendments, botn as to the constitution and laws are: ti Nos. 302 and 303 on the ballot f''u...:..: i -j - . . . . , 1 'usii tiiiiuiiu j Mujcuuuieui ui give won mn the right to vote. Vote X be tween 302 and "Yes;" or vote X between 303 and "No." if you are opposed. This amendment was defeated by a large majority at ine last general election. 2. Amendment to local option law This amendment seeks to correct changes 111 me taw so tnat tnose opposed to pro hibition may have the same lawful rights as those in favor of prohibition. The prohibitionists naturally oppose this interest, while the anti-prohibitionists wants it to pass. If you vote yes you should make an X between the number 304 and the word "Yes" on the ballot. Fqr to defeat the measure, vote X be tween 306 and the,word "No." j. This a bill to pay a corporation $24,000 for a release of a toll road run ning from Clackamas county over the Cascades Mountains. The company claims a perpetual franchise. The pro moters of the bill want to make it a free road. This is a measure that needs in vestigation, and the Argus will discuss it in J lie future. 4. Amendment to the constitution. This is a measure which seeks to permit atindments to the constitution to be in troduced in either house of the legisla ture, and if the same shall pss in both houses by a majority; then the bill must come before the people at a getM-ral elec-, tion to lie voted-upon-for .its acceptance or rejection ;;;vlin pother words, - if th'is amendment 'passes at this June election, hearafter a measure to' amend the consti tution, if the same' passes both -houses, must be then voted upon. by the people at a general election, and if a majority votes yea,, then the' measure shall be de clared a constitutional amendment, and be thereafter ' a part Of onr organic, con stitutional. law. Jn other words, if you believe jid.a.tflaMtyufe,' instead of a twShirdsVulj,"yo'u.;snould vote for this measure; if -you believe in two-thirds rule the you, should vote "No." If you favor majority . rule . in amending the state constitution, then you should vote X between 308 and the word "yes." y Amendment to the constitution to permit the people of a City or incorpor Hted own to vote npon and make their own charter without the intervention of the legislature. If you believe in home rule this ntes-mr is clearly entitled to receive your affirmative vote, and you should vote by marking your X between s peaking of GROCERIES fall in and try R. C.
