No well Informed person supposes for a moment that the full rental value land tax amendment that will be on the Oregon ballot this fall will be approved by the voters. Its chief purpose is to take the land of Oregon away from those who own it now and give It to others, and the people of this state have no desire to Mexlcanlze themselves in this way. The amendment will be de feated, of course. But It is not enough merely to defeat it. In order to preserve the good name of Oregon and assure better business conditions and great er development in the future, it must be snowed under so deeply aa to leave no doubt of the attitude ol . the people of this state on such freak measures. Prospective Invest ors and homeseekers must be as sured that they can come to Oregon without danger of having their In vestments confiscated. Those of us who live here know that there Is no prospect of confisca tory legislation like this being en acted. There have been radically dangerous measures on the ballot at every election since the Oregon sys tem was adopted and they have been uniformly swamped by the voters. But people living elsewhere among thera prospective investors in Oregon do not know this. They see grab schemes on the ballot and jump to the conclusion that it is unsafe to Invest money In Oregon. This Is unfortunate, but under onr rrstem of government there is no way to prevent the appearance of wild schemes on the ballot year after year. All that can be done is to .snow them under so deeply as to convince the rest of the world that anity and common sense rule in Oregon and that Investments here are as safe as anywhere else. THE GREATKST LABOR LAW IN THE WORLD. (Chicago Tribune.) A steady job at good pay Is what the wage earner must have first, if he hasn't that all the labor laws, so called, in the world will do him no good. What, in fact, is the greatest labor law In the statutes? It Is not an eight-hour law, an anti injunction law, even a work man's compensation law, however de sirable any or all of these may be for the betterment of labor condi tions. The great labor statute of Amer ica Is the protective tariff law. Behind the barrier erected by the republican protective tariff the American wage earner has worked at the highest wage in the world. Lower that bulwark, aa the demo crats have done whenever in office, and the first thing to go by the board is the wage earners' prosper ity. The capitalist can bide his time, confident that sooner or later the bulwark will be built up again. The wage earner can not wait. He must bear the brunt of the mistake. jjj;. 3 II Heard and Overheard I H ? (Ry Lynn D. Mowat) Violet Reed says she is the first woman barber in Ashland. She shaves the fountain. Ice at Crowson's soda The postoffice is selling stamps at cost today. John Kohaeen says if it doesn't raia pretty soon he is going to have to wash the windows to his store by hand. - Ah Goodness! While the local raids were being carried on Deputy Sheriff Lang slipped over to Vina and arrested An Me and Ah Peanut. A quantity of liquor, said to have been found on their premises, was confiscated. Sacramento Bee. Reaction. Hood River News: Just dismissed from Sunday school, a number of small boys and girls surrounded a woman and her grown son on State street Sunday morning and pelted them with stones, calling them "country jays." The strangers were Mrs. Lillian Roberts and son Robert, who are here from Portland picking apples in the Oak Grove section. They suggest that local parents teach their children more courtesy for strangers. Walt Frulan and Slim Beeler and Pinky Greive got into a political ar gument Thursday afternoon in Greivte's store. Walt and Slim, who total about 657 pounds net weight, argued from the front side of the counter, and Pinky, who weighs in the featherweight class, kept behind the counter and handy to the guillo tine which Mox Dougherty uses to cut off nickel buys ofeating tobacco. No one dared to get close enough to be able to understand what they were arguing-about or who was on which side, their gestures taking up all of the front end of the store, which was built for other purposes and is not overly wide. All wishing cigars or lithia water while the ar gument was in session made entry and exit through the back door. The troubles of a society editor in a small city are reflected In the fol lowing society item which appeared in a Brazil, Ind., newspaper. "Miss Cleopatra Grubb entertained at bridge whist and dancing yester day. Tho first prize in cards was won by Miss (censored bo cause she sings in the choir). Sec ond prize was captured by Miss (kept out by special request. Her mother objects to cards). Among those present were tho following: Miss (kept out because of death La family recently), Miss (censored because ber em ployer objects to dancing), Miss (teaches In the public schools), and Mrs. (husband Is out of work and she doesn't want to appear extravagant). The guests departed under cover of darkness and in closed cabs." Fixing Blame. For all the trouble in this land I've found the cause," said Ben; "One-half the folks are women, and The other half are men." Cincinnati Enquirer. Another cause of all the woe That keeps folks looking harried Is that one-half are single, and The other half are married. ' Oakland Enquirer. These facts alone would not cause grief, , As anyone can see, But one-half with the other half Do not seem to agree. Why not reduce the city taxes by charging rent for the preferred park ing places around the plaza? . 1 Mortgage Properly Sale One Bay Work Mare 9 years old, weight 1300; 1 Bay Work Horse 8 years old, weight 1200; , 2 sets Work Harness, 3 Farm .

A valuable property is lying idle here and should be operating. The only ar gument which Pendleton uses to overcome the Weston normal argu ment is the fact that Weston has not enough pupils in the public schools to afford training facilities for the 1 .hi.lant. Till. mmt.tl.in uvimai sluu. """""" could be raised at Asniana, ana u the Pendleton normal is established jhe revivication of the Ashland nor- nial will no doubt soon follow, Those who followed closely the events which led up to the "killing" of the Ashland normal will remem- ber the part the Portland Oregonian took in the matter. The following editorial from the Portland paper shows how it now stands on the question, and is indicative of the view now taken all over the state. "For a New Xornml School. "A well-organized and well-sup-! ported movement Is under way to 1 establish a state normal school at i Pendleton. It has the approval of educators prominent In the service of the state and of the leaders in I social, welfare and institutional work In nil parts of Oregon. "It is impossible to deny the force of the argument for properly trained teachers In the schools of the state. It has been shown that the equip ment at Monmouth Is quite inade quate to meet the demands upon it; and it Is likewise true enough that a great area of Oregon is but poorly served by a single institution. That is not at all the fault of the Mon mouth normal, which has proved its worth. The condition is responsible. Western Oregon gets 60 per cent of Monmouth's graduates, while eastern Oregon gets but 5 per cent. "A few years ago in Oregon there was a vigorous" and successful pro test against the normal school com bine, and it led to abolishment of them all, with later . restoration of a single school. The basis of attack on the schools was mainly their po litical methods. The educational machine in Oregon was a powerful factor in its legislation and politics; and it had to he broken. It was broken. Now tho old method of bar ter and trade for school appropria tion, corrupting and demoralizing every legislature, Is gone, and a mill age tax each institution having its own resources and having no embar rassing or entangling alliances with any other is provided for the State University, Agricultural College and Normal School. "The old days and the old ways are gone; and it ia up to the people of Oregon to determine whether they tan and will respond to a genuine and legitimate demand for adequate facilities in tho training of teachers." Boy Farmers on Thirty-day Trip Twenty-four boys, the prize boy farmers of California, passed through Ashland Tuesday afternoon, bound on a tour of the United States which should make them the envy of every boy. The boys are the winners of I state fair Industrial prizes, and some of them broke records with their, j corn, pigs and other farm products, j They will be gone thirty days and will visit Chicago, New York, New Orleans and other big eastern cities. The youths represent the high, school agricultural clubs of Califor nia. This Is the third annual tour of winners, and it is conducted un der the supervision of the University, of California and' financed by the Individual communities from which the boys come. Professor B. H. Crocheron of the university, is in charge of the party, which will be on the road one month, ending its j tour November 15.
