IS KEYNOTE OF
REFUGE MEASURE
8een proposed amendments to the
state eonatltutlon and four measures
11 propositions In all ar to be
submitted to th voters of Orecon
for their approval or rejection at the
Ktneral election to be held on Tues
day. November 2. For the Informa
tion of the voter, these various pro
posals are being summard and
their provisions stated In ibrief form.
This series of articles commenced
with the first to appear oh the ballot
and has continued In the order in
which they are found there. All are
Important, some of vital moment ; the
future welfare of the state and Its
cltlsens. Because of this, every voter
owes a duty not only to the public,
but to himself Individually, to digest
these different amendments and
measures and to register his vote for
or against eech according to the con
clusion he reaches as to the wisdom
or unwisdom of each.
The "Roosevelt Bird Refuge meas
ure" Is the ninth proposition to be
found on the November ballot, It
Is a measure Initiated by the "Rooa
evelt Bird Refuge association," and
Its purpose, in brief, la for the state
of Oregon to give up, lor all time,
all of its right and title to Malheur
lake, in Harney county, including
some 40,000 acres of swamp land,
the value of which ultimately would
enrich the irreducible schoo' fund
by approximately $500,000, to the
federal government asr a breeding
ground for wild fowl.
This purpose is to be accomplished, as
the title to the proposed measure states
it, "by the state conveying, granting
and ceding to the United States of
America all the right, title, claim. Inter
est, rights and powers of control and
Jurisdiction owned or possessed by the
state of Oregon, and also such as said
state may hereafter acquire in and to
all the lands within and all the waters
within the Malheur lake reservation in
Harney county."
HOME OF MIGRATORY BIRDS
Malheur ' lake, and the lands imme
diately surrounding It, is a bird refuge
at the present time and haa been since
1908 when it was so designated by Presi
dent Roosevelt. Migratory birds within
the boundaries of that reserve are now
protected by both state and federal laws.
They made their nests there, rear their
young and pass on to the north or the
south as the case may .be without le.t
or hindrance.
It Is clearly evident, therefore, that so
far as the present is concerned, there is
no necessity for additional protection to
be thrown about the wild life of Mal
heur lake. The reason for the movement
to cede the lake, its waters and their
Jurisdiction springs not from the neces
sity for bird preservation but from the
fear that irrigation development in the
Harney valley will disturb the lake as
it now Is and restrict, though not de
stroy, the nesting places within the
boundaries of the lake. The bill is in
effect, then, an attempted barrier
against the future Irrigation of the Har
ney valley district.
STATE WOULD SELL
Malheur lake has surrounding it some
40,000 acres of land now used as wild
pasture and meadow land, which is
claimed by the state as swamp land.
The state Is now preparing to move,
through the agency'of the attorney gen
eral, to definitely settle the ownership of
this vast tract preparatory to putting it
upon the market for the establishment
of homes. It value, at the average
price now asked by the state land board
for land of equal kind and character,
would run close to. If not above, half
a million dollars, all of which would
flow Into the irreducible school fund as
an Inexhaustible endowment for the edu
cation of the children of the state.
The people of the state, under the
terms of the proposed bird refuge bill,
are asked therefore to cede a $500,009
estate to the federal government tor
ever. But there Is more In the measure from
the viewpoint of the future development
of the state than the swamp land to
which the state lays claim for the school
fond. Harney Talley, on of the richest :
and most productive districts In th en
tire state, has been bald back from de
velopment for many years because of th
large unit holdings of the Pacific Live
stock company and other large cattl
companies which have held the land in
vast unbroken tracts.

More and mors settlers arc breaking
In and the district is ready to meet a
heavy influx of small home owners
whenever contemplated Irrigation devel
opment is finally under way and it be
comes possible to put water upon the
land. Th fat of this Irrigation devel
opment hangs upon the enactment or
failure of th , Roosevelt bird refuge)
measure. These projects, through their
Impoundment of the flood waters of the
spring and the necessary drainage that
must go hand Jn hand with irrigation,
would falter and faU were the bill to
be enacted and the control both of the
water and the lake bed Itself to pass
Into federal ownership. If the bill falls.
Irrigation development there will go for
ward ; if th bill carries, th irrigation
of the Harney valley will be long post
poned lr not entirely prevented.
BIRDS YEBSCS BABIES
Tne proposed bird refuge measure
presents the question to the people of
the state of "birds versus babies." Its
enactment at the hands of'tbe voters
means a perpetual refuge for migratory
birds under federal ownership and con
trol, but it 'does not mean added homes
or 'increased population for Harney val
ley. Its failure spells settlement, new
people and added production.
Those who would rather furnish a
refuge for migratory water fowl than
homes for land hungry people: who
would rather give $500,000 worth of
highly productive land to the federal
government for the propagation of ducks
and geese destined for the hunting
grounds of sportsmen's clubs, than to
allow its value to flow Into the irre
ducible school fund and the land itself
to become the homes of prosperous
families ; those who believe ducks more
important than development should
mark their ballots "Sit X Tea"
Those who would rather see school
houses and school children about the
margin of Lake Malheur than the white
faced glossy ibis, th lonely bittern or
the hermit coot, should mark their bal
lots "317 X No."

TO HIS CUB DAYS
By Herbert W. Walker
..En Boot With Governor Cox.
Middietown, Ohio. Oct, il. (U. P.)
Fighting for the League of Na
tions, Governor James M. Cox today
"came back" to Middietown, the lit
tle city where bout SB years ago ha
was a cub reporter and a high school
student.
The Democratic candidate was to
spend the day campaigning in the dis
trict' where he was "born " and Has lived
ever since. Tonight he was to speak tn
Dayton, his home city, for the first time
since his speech of acceptance, August 7.
As he wages the final battle. Cox is
attacking Senator Harding more sharply
than ever and is speaking with a vigor
that betrays little sign of his long,
strenuous work.
His voice is in excellent condition de
spite the fact be has used It every
week-day since September 2. After
claiming "that day after day" Senator
Johnson say Harding will scrap the
League of Nations and ex-President
Taft that he will not. Cox charged that
the Republican candidate "Is trying to
gain the presidency under false pre
tenses." "I am not particular whether Senator
Harding fools Johnson or Taft, but I
do intend to see to It that he does not
fool the American people on one of the
greatest issues in the history of our
country the governor said.-
