First Proposition on Ballot IN the remaining days before the election The Statesman will take up and discuss each proposition which is to be voted on in the election of Nov. 4th. There are many im portant political and economic questions coming up, some of which have had scant consideration paid them. The first proposition is a proposed amendment to the state constitution for the repeal of the - state payment of irrigation and drainage district interest. The numbers are 300, yes; and 301, no. We recommend to the voters of the state to vote 300, YES. In 1919 the people adopted a constitutional amendment by which the state would certify the bonds issued by irri gation and drainage districts and would guarantee the in terest for five, years. Under this amendment the state issu ed $2,172,760 in bonds. The -districts almost without excep tion are in default. The state hasr received, only $260,295 back from the districts and its investment plus about two mmionoiollars of interest on the bonds. So costly has this experiment .proved that no new dis tricts are being created under the 1919 amendment which is thus practically; a dead letter. i Gov. Pierce and Gov. Patterson recommended, the-repeal, and the legislature passed the pTnftgX repealing amendment. In order to clear the article otrtof ;,fhe consti tution and prevent any future -irrigation -flajrmidef state certification, the voters should vote 300, YfiSi The Stateseaan makes the following recommendations on the Ballot Propositions.

She was afraid' of the v a e e Ination and did not oOnslder it necessary t e cause , the dis ease Is in in f r e a n e n tly met. :, When I ry I toia her mere f ? y were cases of V smallpox In the I country and AL qu,te near her DQCDP0AN& tty, she became quite alarmed and promised to have her. chil dren vaccinated. Because of the extreme rare ness of smallpox today, many parents are extremely careless in reference to the vaccination of their children. This is a great mistake. Persons acting on this theory are a menace to the go eral pubUe health. Smallpox will never be rid-of while a certa-f. percentage of the population goes nnvacclnated. 'Tfardly a day passes bi we hear of new groups of people Joining together against ' some cause or another;, If many per sons came to believe there is too much tobacco smoking, you may be fissured that there will-be an "anti-tobacco league." Today in this country, in spite of the tre mendous advances made by sci ence, there are many honest and well intenttoned people who eaU themselves "a n t i-vaccination- Ists." Personally, I am in conflict with the claims made by tnii group. Vet the members have much Influence and, from the standpoint of science, do rreat harm by their propaganda. Vac cination In childhood is a simple procedure and there can be no donbt the protection given by it against smallpox is complete for frots five to seven years. , Vaccination was first introdu eed in England by Edward Jen ner in lTflfl. For many centuries it had been common knowledge that infection by cow-pox pre lected one against smallpox. He noticed this in the rural country, particularly on the farms. One day Jenner took matter from 'the hand of a dairymaid who was Infected with cow-pox and inoculated a young boy with It. The boy was subsequently ex posed to smallpox but did, not contract the disease. This' was the first successful attempt at vaccination. If everyone were vaccinated. and the vaccination were repeat ed at intervals not longer than seven yea-s, smallpox would un doubtedly cease to exist as a dis ease. It might require a genera tion, but victory would come. Why not be fair to your chil dren and have them vaccinated at the recommended stated inter vals, and surely shortly after birth. As adults they can make their own decision, but as chil dren you must make it for them. It requires bravery to be a good parent. No one of us llkea to submit a child . to pain and even the most remote danger of any sort. But each of us must take the long view. We must think of the future and not be governed by the present. Smallpox Is a dreadful ailment and no chances must be taken re garding it. It is a comfortable feeling to know that vaccination is a reliable preventive of this dread disease.

What meagre news - she could glean from Jean etl did little to relieve her mind. Mrs. Gleason was ctese to death. Ceelle was constantly at the apartment. This last a cold hand placed on Ardeth's heart. She tried to 'reason her fear away. Of course she could not expect Ken's attention at a time' like this! She must not be so petty. Ah, but if she could only be near him to eomiort mm, n she could! To help him bear this wearing anxiety. A wave of bitter anger went over her at her own helplessness. She could not j even have the dubious comfort of suffering with him. That place was reserved for Cacile. At night sne was airaia to leave her hotel room lest Ken should call her on the phone and miss her. She snatched a hasty dinner on her way up from the shop, and spent the long nights in her little aerie perched high above the . city, waiting for the telephone to ring. She could not read, much less settle down to sewing. Impossi ble now to work on those pre cious pink things which were to form her trousseau. She spent the hours pacing the small room. Five steps brought her to the window . . . For the most part she sat look ing out over the dark roots to where the upflung lights of downtown painted the low-hanging clouds ruddy. . The Christmas rush " in the stores was far removed alien. Strange that it should be near Christina's. There was no holiday in her heart. All things were swept away by this strain of waiting ... Eleven. Eleven-thirty Silly to wait up any longer. He would not phone tonight. Slowly she prepared for bed, her hands list less, her heart heavy. She was awakened out of trou bled dreams by the shrill peal of the phone. She was there, dinging to the transmitter, speaking nervously, without any recollection of get ting there. ' Ken's voice coming over the wire such a strange, tight voice. "I have to ft yon, Ardeth. Just have time for a fewjnln utes. My only chanee. Will you meet me downstairs it I drive around to the hotel?" "In fifteen minutes," If e promised. ' She hung up. Snapped on the lamp. Two-thirty. Her i heart leaped. What could have caused Ken to call at such an bout? r' t ; Suddenly she began te shake with a nervous chill, her teeth chattering, hands so cold ' and clumsy that she had trouble- put ting on her clothes. She, slipped into her heavy coat. Palled her hat on, regardless. Across 'the room her own figure moved in the depths of the mirror; a glimpse of a white face, and wide eyes as she let herself out of the door:: who were listening to William Ran- r - ... . . She- wineed at the, creak of the automatic elevator aa she pressed the button. A strange, frighten ing time to be going out! The street before the hotel was cold and deserted and she huddled In the doorway until Ken's car shot around the cor ner. He did not greet her. Nor did he get oat. Just leaned over and opened the door, barely waiting until she slipped into the seat be side him before he started . the engine again. The girl's arms clung to him In alarm as the dark streets reeled by. A bleak change had come over Ken in the last few days. The whole outline of his face had sharpened and some thing of gaUant youth had been wiped away. She was tremulously aware of something tragic lying between them"; Aware and afraid. Don't speak . . . words voujd bring it out of the shadows. Words would bring disaster. She put out a hand and touch ed the sleeve of his overcoat as though to convince herself of bis nearness. Without taking his eyes from th street ahead, Ken snatched that hand and held Uj hard against his lips for a mo ment. "Ken, how " "Not here. We can't talk ntw. I want to look at you." He steer ed painstakingly about a taxi. "But your mother " "She's still alive." Silence. She could only wait, anxfous eyes devouring 'his set profile. A small, dark park suddenly loomed in their path. Ken swung the machine Into the drive. The headlights gleamed on glossy shrubs, seeming a" theatrical green in the glare-. Then black ness rushed about them as he stopped the engine and snapped eft the current. The watching girl could barely make out his face by the dim glare of an arc light some distance away .... "Well . . ." he turned to her, speaking still in that new tight voice, "now we can talk. But we mustn't take too long; I have to get back. I had to see you though. To tell you to tell you I'm going to marry Cecile." She sat "as still as some small, stunned animal. He drew in his breath Jn a 'whistling' sigh. "Tomorrow at S, In St Matthew' Church. The church my mother was married In." He was painf illy precise.- "Oh!" Then, sharply as the new sunk in. "Oh!" She was crying in his arms, her face pressed hard against the rough weave on his over coat. Dreadful tears. Tears torn out of her heart. Scalding tears. "Don't sweetheart . . . Ah, don't . . ."His husky voice came smothered against ber hair. He had putted off her hat, pressed bis face down on her head. Madness bursting in her brain like a flash of red light. She had snatched his face down in an agony of defiance, her words came fiercely smothered against his lips. "No! You can't! You're mine. Mine mine " "Sweetheart, listen" Gently he thrust her away. Holding her' hands down In her lap with one of his own. Still he spoke In that tense, unnatural voice. "My mother is dying," he ; gulped. "She knows It. She asks only one thing. That 1 . marry Cecile.' What can I do?" No answer but her torn sobs. A man receives 14 ' drr for' labor and pays SS n week for board.- At the end of ten weeks he has saved. $144.;. How many days- did he work! r ? Answer, to morrow. Yesterday's, answer. A Problem For You For Today After a moment he burst out. "Don't yon engpese Bwe wne over this ad over it all today aH tonight! I'm going mad, I think! To give you up and I love you. God, I love you, Ar deth. It's wicked to marry one girl loving you the way I do! She so little and all. And ly ing there dying!" His voice was tortured. "If you'd seen her eyes when I said I would. She tried to smile." "Oh, it's wrong!" rose her muffled wail. "No one can live another's life." "Of course ifs wrong!" his voice broke. "But what can I do? It's that, keeping her alive. How can I wipe that look off her face. Dying she is! All my life to know I'd refuse the last thing she asked. Oh, I can't! I will have killed her you see that?" "But we love each other! Oh, I love you so! I'd die for you! God meant people to love each other when they married. Ken you can't g'ive me up!" Straining her gaxe up to his chalky face and shadowy eyes. A look in his eyes which turned him to a stranger. Bitter . . . withdrawn. She gave a little broken cry. Ken had already given her up in his mind. (To be continued) BODIES OF PRIESTS T NOME. Alaska. Oct. 24 (AP) The Arctic steamer Arthur J.

In "The Fur Trade of America," says: "In the historr of the world only one corporate company has maintain-, ed empire over an area as large as Europe. Only one corporate company's sway has been so ben eficient that its profits have stood in exact proportion to the well being of its subjects." w s s She refers to the Hudson's Bay company. Their charter of 1869 or 1670 designated them the "Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson's Bay," called now the -Hudson's Bay company, and stfll trading with savages in the white wilderness of the north as it was when Charles II gave a royal grant for the fur trade to his cousin Prince Rupert Aad Prince Rupert, first governor of what was designated as "Prince Rupert's Land," a country of unknown extent run ning west from Hudson bay, was succeeded by the Duke 61 York (James II); and the royal gov ernor by a line of distinguished men down to Lord Strathcona, the empire builder, who so long controlled the destinies of the Canadian Pacific railroad. . Their chief factors, like Dr. Mr. Loughlin, have ruled empires in extent with greater than king ly power; under the egis of par liamentary law. Their forts have for nearly 300 years dispensed hospitality and help with a more lavish hand than the ancient baron in bis castle. S In the far north, yet, the bea rer wkin is the unit of coin, as it was when Dr. McLoaghlin ruled the old Oregon country. The Es kimo hunter, whose knowledge of arithmetic Is confined to his two hands, eomes to the trader with bis winter's catch. The trader holds up one, two or three fingers, as the case may be, meaning that he offers the val ue fat terms of one, two or three prime beaver skins. If the Eski mo demands more, they bargain with their fingers until an agree ment Is reached. The value is paid' In a blanket, a shirt beads, powder, knives, traps, tobacco, etc. 1 etc. V m From out of the north come ermine, "fox, - rynx, mink, marten, otter, and all the long list rep resenting values in furs and skins and hides. The precious catches come In ox carts, by boat, by dog sleds; In a dozen other ways. The aggregate of the trade is enormous. There Is still an em pire In extent of territory.

Over these lawless Arabs of the New World wilderness the Hud son's Bay company rules yet The ancient treaties with most of the tribes give them hunting, trap ping and fishing rights as long as "the sun rises or the river flow," and there are no game laws they are bound to observe. But the factors ot the great com pany make game laws and laws of all kinds, and enforce them by the rules of trade. Even laws against murder. That company has ruled a sav age empire for nearly three cen turies, devoted to the most dan- geroifs callings in the world; yet the whole era has been one of peace and order suffering no dis credit by comparison with the wars and strife and sin and deg radation of so-called civilized so ciety with its wars and lust and licentiousness, and its deaths and accidents from industrial and other causes; from the racket eers of our big cities to our wrecks on highways of the land and of the sea and air. What of the moral state of the Indians of the far north, under the rule of the great and ancient fur trading company? Every vis itor for over 200 years has re ported in the cases of srome of the tribes, like the Chippewyans, encouraging conditions and im proved standards of living. W Recently a high Canadian offi cial making an Itinerary of the territory- around Hudson bay. found the Indians such devout Christians that they put his white retinue to shame. Returning to civilization, the ' official was observed attending the services of his own denom ination with greater regularity than was his wont, and taking a greater interest in the affairs of his church. Asked the reason, he confided to a club friends that he would be blankety blanked if he would allow heathen Indians to be better Christians than he was. V s s Some of the Indians get into debt to the great company, for supplies without which they would suffer from hunger or starve. But the debt Is never col lected by taking, any of the sup plies of the hunt that should &j to feed a family. Of how many other creditors may that be said? Of how many companies that it has cared for the sick, sought, the lost, fed th starving, housed the homeless? ". f That attitude towards the In dians is what has kept the peace largely, for over two centuries. That was what made Dr. Mc Loughlin the most powerful man with the Indians of the old Ore gon country.
