V ,0 OR n IIILLSBOkO, ORIiGON, MAY 18, 1910 NO. 9 VOL XX) II I STATE GRANGE ENDORSES THE CHAMBERLAIN BILL MEASURE FOUGHT BY SKEEZICKS HEARTILY FA VORED BY PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY The Oregon Stuto Grange "heartily endows the Chamberlain hill to give Oregon a big Bi'hool fund, and a fund for the various coun tit 8 of the state "for road purposes. This legislation will mean millions of dollars for the state. The State Grange is right, and L. A. Ft-rnsworth, of Hanks, candidate for the legislature, is against the bill. He editorialize against the measure, just as he editorializes against every measure for the public good. The a' tention of Grangers is called to the circumstance. Oragon needs a bijuer school fund. It is entitled to 40 per cent, of the money (Wer and a'me the $2.50 per acre realized in the sale of the 0. & C. jrrunt lands. and is entitled to 40 per cent, of it for road or county purposes. The Grange is an intelligent body. They know what is good legislation for the state, and they appreciate the fact thut Chamberlain is work in if for the generations to come. Not so with Skeezicks. who mentally assaults those who succeed, and who has no good word tor anyone who isn't for Skeezicks. first and last . His light against Chamberlain on the land grant bill is like his fight of two or more years ago. when he tried to tell the farmers of Equity just how to "head in." Skeezicks apparently thinks the farmer has no right to organize and discuss public affairs. He thinks that the corporations are in "right," but the farmer has "no fool" business to think for himself. Chamberlain' bill means that the state will jret a great finan cial aid. and when the timber is bought the school children WILL UENERl', generation after generation V come. This candidate, register! d as a democrat two years ago. now posing as a republican, is how asking farn ers who believe in organization to give him a vote. This gentleman, who evidently feels that he must do the bidding of his Portland bosses that he may himself become a local county boss, asks farmers for support to the legislature, and then deigns to tell them who must be elect ed circuit judge and district attorney. No wonder the power interests and the land grant interests smile, and their organs quote Skeezicks in their columns. Hut will jhe farmer voter be fooled by him. It is to be hoped not. DH. ELMER M.

Many parents who realize tthe value of proper care of their children's teeth do not seem to see the necessity of as careful attention to their eyes. Many a school child's apparent stupidity is caused by inabiiity-to see comfortably and clearly. This sometimes leads to punish ment, which, in turn, brings dis couragement and resentment, until he is finally classed among the worthless. Don't let your child risk such dangers. If you have ar.y reason to suspect that his eyes need attention, lake him to Dr. Lowe and then follow his Instructions to tie letter. He has specialized in testing1 and fitting glasses to children's eyes for more tian a quarter century, .and has tha facilities ai well as the ability and experience, necessary to do this most im portant work accurately. To fit glasses correctly to a child's eves the specialist should be able to test and fit the passes without practically any help from the child. This can only be accomplished by long experi ence, education and equipment. Guess work with a child's eyes may result in permanent injury. )r. Lowe will be in Hillsboro, Saturday, May 27, to 4 o'clock. Stewart Vaughn, ot McMinn ville. formerly a resident of near Middleton, was down the last of the week, greeting his foimer county friends.

Statement of L L Moore, Republican Candidate - for Legislature To The Repubican Voters of Washington County, Oregon: I am not a politician, have never asked for or held public office. I have no word to say against any other candidate. 1 am a busi ness man and a member of sev eral commercial and business or ganizations and have given busi ness ana industrial conditions a areful study. I believe that the future success and prosperity of Oregon and Washington Coun ty depends upon the develop ment of industries and resources. 1 believe that every person that is engaged in business whether it be in producing, buying and selling, agricultural products, buying and selling of merchan dise, manufacturing and em ploying of labor or any other business pursuit, should give these conditions careful study. Let us be fair and just to busi ness industries so they may have a chance to develop and we will be able to manufacture our raw materials here instead of else where, and in this way give la bor more employment and better wages. 1 consider the State Legislature m re of a business that political organization. Let us reduce taxation by more busi ness economy and the abolish ment or combination of some of the forty-seven commissions now existing. These opinions are the thoughts that have been ex pressed by a large number of termers, manufacturers, mer chants and laboring men, and if they meet with your approva vote tor the candidate who is best qualified to represent you E.
