A monthly due of $2.50 for each member has been fixed. Mr. Corbett, after his election aa f resident, in a brief address called at entlon to the needs of such an asso ciation and to some extent outlined the purposes - and objects of the organisa tion. Several other addresses were made. C. W. Hodson, in a brief statement , this morning, said: Hodson explains ICova. "The association is not formed for punitive 'purposes. Last night we re peatedly brought before the member the fact that no fight would be made against unfons or unionists. Our real object is to avert strife between labor and capital, and to always .work for . arbitration In matters .which affect the two branches of commercial Industry. We will attempt not only to benefit the employer, but also the employe. We hppe to bring about a more complete understanding between the two."

LABOR LEADERS ARE HOPEFUL OF RESULTING GOOD Whatever may be the outcome of the Employers' association, organised at the commercial club last night, so far as Its effect upon organized labor is con cerned It is certain that local labor leaders look upon the new comer In the industrial world with no little dis trust and are Inclined - to the belief that it bodes ill for the labor unions. President C. H. Gram and Secretary J. F. Cassldy of the State Federation of Labor both being at Salem, lobbying In the Interest of various measures be fore the legislature affecting labor. It was Impossible to get an expression from them, but. other prominent labor, leaders who were seen were of the opinion that if the Employers' associa tion adopts the principle of arbitration. wrucn nas become tne cardinal princi pie of organized labor, positive good will com, as a result of the employers or ganizing. H. J. Parkinson, editor of the Labor Press, is pessimistic as' to labor and. capital ever coming together in a lasting agreement and Is specially skeptical over the declaration of prin ciples put forth by the new organiza tion of employers.' "My mrormatlon," said Mr. parklson, "Is that the Employers' association la an offspring of the Citizens' - alliance. wnicn was organized Tor tne avowed purpose ef -overcoming the advance made by organized labor, to undermine the 'fundamental principle of labor un ions and If possible to disrupt the or ganisation. Of course. If the Employ ers' association coincides with this view of the labor situation, nothing but harm can come to labor as a result of the organization or the employers. r'If on the other hand, the employers are willing to concede the principle of arbitration, are willing to meet labor half way when disputes arise and leave to boards of arbitration the. settlement of all difficulties we welcome the new association into the organization ranks and predict that only good can corns is a result of the employers coming to gether." ' "The labor unions are now standing on arbitration as a fundamental prin ciple," said J. D. M. Crockwell, busi ness agent or the electrical workers. "If the new Employers' association will make "arbitration' a part of its declara tion of principles, both labor and cap ital will be greatly benefited. Every contract or agreement of the electrical workers' union contains sn arbitration clause, and I think this Is true of near ly all labor unions. We are willing to submit all differences to arbitration, If the employers will do the same, the la bor trouble will be well nigh settled. 'From the standpoint of a business agent of a union, the organization of the employers is to be desired. It makes it possible to discuss labor 'disputes with the officials of the employers' or ganization rather than with the indi vidual employers, as Is the case now. This will greajly expedite the settle ment of all controversies between la bor and the individual members of the association." TOW TOPICS round on Street Cars.

Mr. Kahn was aanea by the Northwest Bridge company to Inspect the structure I or wnicn tne city bss refused to pay until certain defects were repaired. After doing so the expert waa brought before the com mittee at a special session in the mayor's office and the substance of the Information obtained from him is contained In the foregoing paragraphs. In answer to a Question by Mayor .Lane aa1 to whether under the circum stances he thought the city snouia ae cept the bridge as It is land pay the contractors for their work.- Mr. Kahn declared that If he were In the place of the mayor he would find out first whether the departures from the speci fications were the fault of the company OPEHMELAYED; SETTLERS SUFFER Payette-Boise Project Will Serve But Few Patrons This Season. (United Press teased Wire. Nampa, Idaho, Feb. I. There has been much delay in the formal opening of the Payette-Boise reclamation proj ect, although the feeder canal from the Boise river to the Deer Flat reser voir has been ready to carry the water to. that reservoir for several weeks. An announcement waa made that the open ing of the project would be November 19, but just prior to that date It was announced that the date had been ad vanced to February, The delay was ascribed to legal complications relative to settlers' lands within the trsct of the Deer Flat reservoir. These diffi culties were due to the refusal of land owners In the, reservoir site to re linquish their homes at the prices sub mitted by the government. Condemna tion proceedings were instituted. During the past few weeks water has been turned Into the New York eanal feeder in order to settle the bot tom and sides of the canal before the big head Is turned into it This action led the people to believe that the for mal opening of the South Side Payette Boise project would take place at once. Now comes a circular from the de partment reading as follows: "For the Information of prospective users of water from the Payette-Boise project, idano: Announcement is nere- by made that it has not been round advl sable to formally open the Payette- Boise nr roject ror tn le season of 1909. Accordingly, notice will not now he la- ued announcing the date." . The delay of the formal opening will Inconvenience many homesteaders who have prepared their land for a crop this season. Although a certain amount of water will be supplied during the irri gation season of 1909, according to the circular it will be altogether optional with the engineer what lands will be served, and there Is little doubt but that many homesteaders on the remote parts of the project will not be served.

MUST VOTE FOR PARTY III ONLY Bill Proposes Restrictions for Preventing Primary Ballot's Misuse. (By Journal Leased Salem Wire.) Salem, Feb. . The Abbott bill, in troduced In the houae yesterday after noon, and proposing rigid restriction for preventing voters from participat ing in the primaries of other than their own party, la attracting considerable In. tereat among members. Bv Its terms, the voter, before he can enter the primaries, must make affidavit that he voted for the candidates of his party for presi dent, rice president, senator, congress man and governor lq the last preceding elections for those officers respective ly. He Is compelled to make the dis closure at the time of registering, and In doing so Is required to sign an affi davit which is left on file with the county clerk for a period of two years. Abbott, of Multnomah, father of the bill, says that the cry of fraud has been raised in Oregon In the effort to dis credit the primary law, and through his bill he desires to test the question of whether or not the fraud propaganda has been sincere. Some have already appeared who advance the objection that by the disclosures required In th affidavit, the secrecy of tha Australian ballot is Invaded. The affidavit required of the voter ia as follows: I (name of affiant) do solemnly swear that I am In good faith a mem ber of the political organization known as the (name of political party); that at the presidential election in the year ...... (the last preceding presidential election) I supported for president and. ... , . . .for vice president of the United States by voting for the nomi nees of said .party for presiden tial electors; that at the general elec tion in the year (the last preced ing general election) I voted for my party's nominee for United States senator; for......, my party's nomi nee for representative in congress end for my party's nominee for the governor of the state of Oregon. The affidavit Is to be recorded and made a part of the voter's registra tion. If the elector declines to answer the questions in the affidavit, the facts are entered on the registration books. Unless Uie elector subscribes to the affidavit, he shall not be qualified to vote In the primaries of any political party, and It shall be unlawful for him t0 ? 7'.r' elector that has so qualified shall be given a ballot of the party with which his affidavit Identifies him. and shall not be given the ballot of any other party.

Three Classes of Approprlators. On this point Dr. J. R. Wilson gave an Illuminating talk.

Second, the company that uses one third and in anticipation of future bus iness has built to handle two thirds. In such case the equity of the additional third should be regarded.
