HOW TO
VOTE OX
LAWS.
PROPOSED
The people of Oregon, having as
sumed the power of initiating and
passing their own laws, are bound by
the unescapable and correlative obli
gation to see to it that those laws
are duly considered, weighed and
disposed of at the polls. There must
be no faltering, no shirking, no re
nigging; these propositions are up
for full and final treatment and must
receive It at the hands that thrust
them forward.
There are several grave, and many
important issues involved in the list
and it is worth every man's while
to study them closely and vote with
the grace of good citizenship for, or
against them. They are above the
perscnel of the June ticket in many
ways; notably that the laws are pass
ed for all time, and men come and
go, by period, or the will of the
electorate. It is not safe to Ignore
the referendum; it may contain ele
ments of disorder and disruption,
and defeat and again it may contain
things that mean, and make for the
peace and freedom of the masses,
and for the curing of a thousand ills.
Therefore it is a supreme duty to
scan it and know what to do, how to
differentiate, and to cull the bless
ings while we ward and bar the evils.
Go to it, and begin the work of
scrutiny and segregation right now;
you cannot give the matter due
thought in the few moments you
devote to the voting booth on elec
tion day!
Amendment Increasing compensa
tion of members of the legislature to
$400 for a regular session and $10
a day for special sessions.
At present they get $5 a month
for two years $120. If the state
does not pay, the corporations will.
Vote in favor of this.
Amendment permitting the loca
tion of state institutions away from
tho capital.
Vote yes on this. It Is better that
tho stato Institutions be located In
various parts of Oregon than all loca
ted in one city.
Amendment increasing the number
of judges to five and extending tho
jurisdiction of circuit courts to prob
nto work; also requiring provision
by law for district attorneys, county
courts, etc.
This should bo enacted into law.
Our present methods are crude and
cumbersome. Vote for It.
Amendment changing tho time of
holding general elections from Juno
to November.
This bill should bo sustained. Let
us have elections all come at tho
eatno time. This has proven conve
nient and satisfactory in othor states.
Voto yea.
Act giving shoriff custody of pris
oners. As wo understand It, tho sheriff
hns custody of prisoners nt present
and there Is nothing to bo gained by
adding another law to the statuto
books. Kill It.
Amendment exempting dwelling
houses, tools, furniture, otc., from
taxation,
Voto yes, A premium should bo
placed on progress and improvement
instead of inaction.
Amendment giving voters tho
power to recall public officers.
Yes. The people should have tho
right to "flro" a, hired man just tho
samo as (ho Individual. If nn officer
nftor election proves falso to his
trust or Ignores his promises to tho
people thoy should liavo tho right
to dischargo him. Voto yes on this
bill by nil moans.
Act Instructing mombors of logls
Jaturo to vote for pooplo's cholco for
senator.
Yos; what sanso In hnvlng pooplo
nominate and elect senators and
their representatives overthrow their
choice?
Amendment providing for propor
tionate representation.
Sound in principle and should be
sustained.
Act limiting expenditures for poli
tical campaign purposes.
While against newspapers, this bill
Is aimed at political corruption and
should pass.
Act for protection of salmon on the
lower Columbia.
Act to protect salmon on the upper
Columbia.
Bills representing local conflicting
Interests should be killed. These
matters should be regulated by the
people who are Immediately Inter
ested in them.
Act requiring granting of free rail
road passes to certain officials.
This act Is pernicious In practice
and principle. Men who are elected
to serve the people should be paid
a good salary and then pay their
way the same as others. The people
should kill it unanimously.
An act appropriating $100,000 for
armories.
Cities and counties can now assist
in maintaining armories and state aid
is superflous. Kill it.
Act increasing the University of
Oregon appropriation to $125,000 per
annum.
This is one of the most important
proposed enactments before the peo
ple. It is vital to civilization and
progress that our educational Insti
tutions be sustained. The increase
in tax Is insignificant and the appro
priation is necessary. Coos county
should show where it stands on this
matter by rolling up a big majority
for the amendment. Don't overlook
this amendment. Vote yes.
Equal suffrage amendment.
This Is entirely a matter of In
dividual preference. The ladles, God
bless 'em, are entitled to anything
they want. If they want to vote,
let 'em.
Amendment giving cities exclusive
control of liquor selling, gambling,
etc.
It Is dangerous to make the power
of a small part of the state greater
than the state itself. Kill it.
Amendment limiting the power of
district attorney to file indictment.
This is the amendment to restore
the old-fashioned grand jury. It
should receive an unanimous sup
port. Act for creation of Hood River
county.
Oregon needs new counties as fast
as they can be organized and Hood
River county should be created. Vote
yes.
"OUR NEXT SEXATOR."
Under the above heading the Gold
Beach Globe prints the following In
reference to W. C. Chase, Republican
candidate for joint senator:
"In an interview with him we ask
ed him if there were any special mat
ters for legislation which he had in
view. He said there were several
and named tho following:
"He favors changing the Registra
tion law so that when a voter has
once registered he need not do so
again unless he changes his residence
or his party affiliation. Our present
law Is an outrage an act of legal
tyranny, and because of Its biennial
annoyance thousands of men will
neither register nor vote.
"If the people will signify their ap
proval of the measure, by letter or
otherwise, ho will favor tho creating
of a now Agricultural Fair District
to embrace Coos and Curry because
their Interests are identical and in
many ways differ from those on the
east side of the coast mountains, for
which reason our people will never
extensively patronize a fair In tho
sultry interior. But a fair on tho
breezy coast in the hot season, would
attract thousands of people for self
evident reasons.
"Another matter of direct impor
tance to all our voters will bo push
ed if Mr. Chase Is elected (and ho
will bo) and that is to enact a law
that whon school money Is appor
tioned to a district it shall remain
with tho district to bo subsequently
used for schools In that district and
for no other purpose, and shall not
bo turned back to tho treasurer to
bo re-apportioned as at present.
"Tho foregoing shows our voters
that Mr,
Chaso is in favor of laws j
that will help them and help our
senatorial district. They are not of
a bolflsh kind, and ho assures us that
ho has no personal Interests to serve,
nor will ho be tho tool for any man
or corporation that have such Interests."

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
POLITICAL AXXOUXCEMEXTS.
To the Voters of Coos and Curry
Counties:
As a candidate for joint senator, I
have been asked to make a public
statement.
Of myself personally, I shall say
nothing as I have lived in Coos coun
ty for the past fourteen years, and
during that time have actively en
gaged in many occupations and enter
torprlses, including coal mining, log
ging, road building and general con
tracting, so that I have come in con
tact with most of tho active elements
In tho county development, and my
character, dealings and reputation
are well known to many and easily
ascertained by all. As to my general
qualifications for the office, I leave
the public to judge, but that there
may bo no misunderstanding of my
position, I make this public announ
cement that I havo signed Statement
No. 1, and if elected shall voto for
tho people's choice for United States
sonator.
My experience and acquaintance
with local conditions should enable
mo to properly represent tho district,
and I therefore feel justified in ask
ing your support.
HUGH McLAIN.
