Mullaomih Candidate's Mandainat C
Falls Before 111(1) Court
The Oregon Supreme Court says
that i candidate for the legis
lature or tiny other office can pay
the secretary of state his filing
fee and get his name on the
primary ballot and it in legal
under the new law ho declaring.
This order means that candidates
B. V. Cornelius and S. A. I).
Meek . on the representative
ticket and Sheriff Beeves, run
ninjf for sheriff, are legal can
didate!!. The teAt was brought
bout by a dileated candidate
from Multnomah County, who
declared that the candidates
must go on th. ticket by petition.
S. B. Huston, nominated for
senate, was one who paid Ms
filing fee instead of circulating a
petition.
In this county Messrs. Cor
aelius and Meek sent their $3)
fee to the secretary of state and
to did Sheriff Ueeves.
The Court says:
"The act of 1915 does not in
any way add to the (uulilk'utiotis
of an elector who desire tos be
come a candidate: No person is
obliged to pay a fee, for the
method requiring a fee is op
tional. ... A statute requir
ing the payment of a reasonable
fee places no obligation or im
pediment in the way of a person
whether he be rich or poor, as
long as another method like the
one here requiring no fee is open
to him, especially when the name
of a candidate is printed on the
ballot without regard to the
method selected.
'The existence and availabil
ity of one concededly valid
method destroyd the reason as
signed in support of the asserted
objection to the second and ad
ditional method, and when the
reason fails the objection ought
to fail with it. . . . The required
fees are not unreasonable in
amount"

MINT CROP DOING
FJNETHIS SEASON
five Acres of Judge Reasoner Now
Fifteen Inches In Height
TO BE HARVESTED JUST LIKE HAY
Reasoner Will Build Slid -Harvest Last
of August or Sept. I
The Five acres of mint planted
by Judge D. B. Reasoner last
Spring, on his Oak Park place,
is doing tine, and the plants are
now about hi teen inches in
height The rows are 30 inches
apart and in a short time the
foliage will cover the ground.
By next year it will look like one
solid patch.
This crop is harvested just like
a hay field, a regular team
mower being used. It is cured
and then raked and cocked up
just the same as hay. Judge
Reasoner will build a still in
August and extract the oil.
He has looked over several
stills to get the plans and speci-
cations, and expects to get good
return on his investment. This
has been an exceptionally good
year for growth, and this will
mean a splendid setting by next
year. If the experiment proves
a good one financially several
others will try the crop. Old
authorities on this industry say
that Washington County i3
specially adapted to mint culture
and it may prove one of the big
things in the future. The oil of
peppermint is always in good de
mand and where there is any
kind of a stand it pays better
than almost any other crop.
