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.

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.

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
