NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
WILL ENtER POLITICAL
ARENA AT PRIMARIES
Doctrines That Went So Big
- In North Dakota Are Being
Urged 'Throughout Oregon.
PROGRAM COMPREHENSIVE
utMti of Special Concern to tho
T armor and Labor Interests
re Emphasised.
Woman Police Detective Is
City 's Latest Acquisition

known, Even to Memb ers of Police Force; Tall, A

Oregon, which has the habit of adding-
new and exciting frills to Its elec
tion contests from time to time. Is
to have a brand new Issue before the
votera when the primary campaign
opens next spring. Probably factor
wouW be the better word, for the new
Intrant will center around the organ
Izatlon and voting power of the "Farm
ers' Non-I'artisan league."
Kverybody remembers what 'hap
pened In North Dakota at the last elec
tion when the Non-Partisan league of
that commonwealth courted up the
scalps It had taken. -Those who re
member will be Interested, then. In the
newt' that the political field of this
state is now being sown with the seeds
of that propaganda.
The Oregon State grange, at its As
toria convention, went on record by
formal Indorsement of the Non-Partisan
league and Its plan. The Farm
ers' union, while it has not formally
Indorsed the popoal that It Join In
the organization of the league in this
state, favors the idea, provided an
agreement can be reached with the na
tional heads of tho Non-Partlsan
league under which the leaders of the
movement In this state will be per
mitted to map out their own local
program, unhampered by the general
propaganda of the national organiza
tion. The state federation of labor oc
cupies about the same position.
Goapal la Spread
For some time now the programs of
the, local granges throughout the
state have shown that the league doc
trines are being preached before the
ranic and file of that organization. The
same thing Is true In the other organ
izations, according to the statements
of those who have been following the
subject. The missionary work Is pre
liminary to the intensive organization
work to be inaugurated early next year.
Iirlefjy stated It Is the intention of
the leaders of the movement to put
league organizers in every county of
the state as soon as, the educational
Campaign has been completed and to
gather both the farmer and the organ
ized labor vote so far as possible,
under one banner. Each voter who
joins the league pays a membership
fee of $18, of which $12 goes Into the
state. and $4 into the national cam
paign fund.
It Is said that the platform being
.. mapped out for which the new organi
sation will battle. Includes a proposal
to reduce the maximum rate of inter
est that may be legally charged In
Oregon' front 10 to 6 per cent; anything
aver, that rate, coming within the def
inition and punishment of usury. The
leacue iwlll also stand- forcibly-tnb-
Uahmeot of state' Insurance; for the
state production of agricultural lime to
be furnished free, if possible, ami at'
any rate, .at actual cost of produc
tion to farmers.
The leaders of the movement would
alsq. change-the road construction polr
Icy of tttaJtO so that. more money
and more attention would be spent on
the construction and maintenance of
lateral roads. It being the contention
that such roads are Of as much im
portance to the rural communities as
trunk highways. They also will Insist
Portland now-has a real honest to
goodness woman police detective. Eha
does not wear green goggles and pink
whiskers, eftneri As a matter of fact,
she is quite attractive and Inci
dentally very wise and fully capable
of .taking care of herself at any time
or rfny place.
Her Identity is a secret." Even the
members of the police bureau do not
know her and others outside the
bureau probably have no idea that Bhe
is a petticoat sleuth. Mayor Baker,
Chief of Police Johnson and one or
two of the city 'commissioners know
she is working for the city, but that
is almost the limit.
Without too much detail she is
tall, dark and graceful. She can
dance well, too. . Yon migbt look twice

upon legislation for food cofTtrol and
regulation and for state inspection In
the marketing of farm produce. They
desire that the coming legislature
submit self-executing constitutional
amendments to the people, providing
for state owned and operated grain
elevators, warehouses and packing
plants. They will also throw the
weight of their organization behind
the program of the national league to
bring about the federal manufacture
of farm implements, the federal con
trol of terminal warehouses and gov
ernment ownership of railroads.
Eight Hour Lav Pavored
In addition Jp these proposals,
which, for the most part, spring from
rural demand, the labor side of the
organization plans the passage of an
eight hour law and other legislation
favored by it.
The leaders of the movement expect
to control the next legislature by
throwing league support to those leg
islative candidates who pledge adher
ence to the league program, both in
the primaries and in the general elec
tion. They .also expect to hold the
balance of power1 in the gubernatorial
campaign by token of the same plan
of battle.
Some, politicians hoot the idea that
the league will be a serious factor in
the next campaign, contending that
there are too many diverse and con
flicting interests in Oregon political
affairs to enable such an organization
to be cemented. Others, however, are
not so sure and are keeping their ears
close to the bosom of the body politic
to catch the BliEhtest change in the
political pulse indicative that the Non
partisan league serum is likely to set
up a reaction by the time the cam
paign is on.
Lion Tamer Visits
Prof .Pernot Daily
A woman lion tamer pays a daily
visit to the city hal now. Her mis
sion is not to train the strange "ani
mals" which may be found there or
to practice on the stuffed lion in the
museum.
She comes to see City Bacterlolo-
glsCPeroofc jaboutth .deep on her
arm .Inflicted when a circus, liqu
slapped her with his paw. -"
Her meeting with Professor Pernot
was unusual. Last week he was work
ing among, his bugs an bacteria When
he noticed a young" woman standing in
the doorway. Many persons daily ctand
in jftie doorway and watch Pernot and
his assistants at work.
Finally she came In and looked
about the room, asking a few ques
tions. Finally she offered the explanation
that she was a lion tamer and had
recently been employed by a 'circus.
"And look what the lion did," she
said, baring her wrist, showing to Pro
fessor Pernot an ugly gash.
' Professor Pernot may not know a
lot about lion tamers, but he does
know a lot about germs, and straight
away he proceeded to supply a new
dressing for the wound. The girl has
been coming back-. each day. She said
this mornincr that she was leavinsr
Portland shortly, however.
Professor Pernot did not ask her
name and she did not offer to give it.
Handled like an ordinary broom,
with no other power, a new device
combines the principles of the carpet
sweeper and the vacuum cleaner.
The matter will be taken up and
definitely decided upon by the execu
tive council of the club in a few weeks.
The trip will be rather expensive and
the club may decide to forego it next
year because of the war.
If the Mazamas go to Eagle Cap it
will be the first time they have ven
tured out of their - beloved Cascades,
barring the two trips to Mount Shasta,
in the 25 years of the club's existence.
To reach Eagle Cap and the Wal
Jowas, the Mazamas will go to En
terprise, and from there drive In ma
chines to Hurricane creek. .The camp
will probably be made in the moun
tains some 15 or 18' miles from that
point. Tho scenery is beautiful, rivaling,
it is said, the grandeur of the line of
snow speaks about Lake Chelan, in
Washington.
Clyde B. Aitchlson of the interstate
commerce commission visited the Wal
lowas in 1912, and at yiat time he
began interesting the Mazamas In this
trip.

Throughout the country today factories are . engaged in

entering into the construction of airplanes. Factories have
been speedily erected at a great cost, and contracts of stag

warfare as demanded by Uncle Sam could not possibly carry
on this work without Credit. The retail store from whom you
