Cigars, confectionery, tobaccos and soft drinks. The following circular letter from the Taxpayers' league of Portland, urging the passage of certain of the Initiative measures now before the people, has Just been received by the East Oregonian and la published In the hope that it may enlighten voters upon the subjects discussed. The cir cular is as follows: .. While the objects for which the Taxpayers' League of Portland was organized are limited In their scope, certain of the amendments to the constitution and laws which have been proposed under the Initiative and laws on which the referendum has been invoked and which are to be submitted to the people at the coming June election come properly within Its Jurisdiction, and to these they have given consideration The recommendations upon these questions should be accepted In the spirit they are made. The league Is looking for no controversy, but If the result of their deliberations are of service to others the recommendations made will have served their purpose. Increase of Membership Supreme Court, Etc "An amendment to Article VII of the constitution by Increasing the number of Judges of the supreme court from three 'to five, until other wise provided by law, and authorizing the legislative assembly to provide by appropriate legislation for the ex ercise of the circuit courts, of the probate Jurisdiction heretofore ex ercised by the county courts, and for the transaction of county business by and before some appropriate body 0 tribunal." 804. Yes. 305. No. Abstract The foregoing title succlently states the purposes of this amendment. It Is to Increase the number of Judges of the supreme court to five, until changed by law, to place the probate Jurisdiction In circuit courts, and to leave to the county courts primarily the conduct of county business. Voters are advised to vote yes, Clianging Time of Elections, "Proposed amendment to the con stltutlon changing the time of holding the regular biennial elections from the first Monday In June to the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November." 306. Yes. 307. No. Abntract. The change proposed will make one election less every four years and re duce the expense every presidential year by having the election for state offices held at the same time as for presidential electors. Voters are advised to vote yes. Free Trannportation for Officials. "For an act requiring railroads and other common carriers to grant free transportation to state officers and county Judges and sheriffs, as a con dition precedent to acquiring land for corporate purposes by the exercise of eminent domain, and to prohibit the payment of mileage for such free transportation." 310. Yes. 311. No. Suggestions. There Is no reason why a railroad or other common carrier should grant free transportation to state officers or to county Judges or sheriffs and In our opinion it Is not only unfair to th railroads, but Is belittling to the state and its officers and tends to place them under obligations which should not exist. Voters are advised to vote no National Guard Annorlcw. "An act to appropriate $25,000 an nually for four years, to be used In purchasing grounds and building ar morles for the use of the Oregon na tlonal guard, the money to be ex nended under the supervision of the state military board at any time dur lng the four years, the board not be Ing required to use each approprla tlon the year It Is appropriated. The Oregon national guard Is required to pay to the state treasurer such rental for the use of said armories, as may be fixed by the state military board." 312. Yes. 313. No. Suggestions, Under this law no deflnlto numlier of armories are provided for. They mav be erected upon the recommen datlon of the state military board In owns where one or more companies of the Oregon national guard are lo rntsl. No limitation Is placed upon the cost of the different buildings. In our opinion this law leaves the way open for largo and possibly unneees sary expenditures. ! Voters are advised to vote no. Jects referred to In the amendment We think this would be unwise. Voters are advised to vote no. Slnglo Tax Amendment. "For constitutional amendment providing that all dwelling houses, barns, sheds, outhouses, and all other appurtenances thereto; all machinery and buildings used exclusively for manufacturing purposes and appurte nances thereto; all fences, farm ma chinery, and appliances used as such; all fruit trees, vines, shrubs, and all other Improvements on farms; all livestock; all household furniture In use; and all tools owned by work men and In use, shall be exempted from taxation In addition to exemp tions now authorized by the constitu tion." ; 322. Yes. 323. No. Suggestions. This amendment Is revolutionary In the extreme. Its purpose Is to cast upon real estate substantially all the burden of taxation and would' com pletely change the system now and heretofore In effect In this state. No such radical measure should be sup ported by the people without the full est and most careful consideration. In view of the purely speculative and theoretical reasons advanced In Its fa vor, the uncertainty of Its action and the fact that but limited times has been given for Its consideration we feel it would be extremely unwise to adopt this amendment. Voters are advised to vote no. To Provide for Choosing Jurors. "For constitutional amendment pro viding for the choosing of Jurors and grand Jurors and that no person can be charged In the circuit court with the commission of a crime or a mis demeanor except upon Indictment found by a grand Jury, except when a court holds an Indictment to be de fective, the district attorney may file an amended Indictment." 334. Yes. 335. No. AbMti-Hct ami Suggestions. We believe that experience has demonstrated that Indictments should only be found by a grand Jury. The only argument urged In favor of the present method by which a district attorney can file an Information against a man for any crime Is be cause it Is cheaper. In our opinion It will not do to weigh the expend! ture of money against fundamental principles. Voters nre advised to vote yes.

ENGINES COMING. O. R. & X. Will Soon Receive 10 Rig Locomotives for Siokanc , Division. Information reached local officials of the O. R. & N. today that the new 10-wheel engines which are now here or on the way from Huntington, will not be set up here, but are to be used on the Washington system or the u. R. & N.. running north from Pendle ton, says the La Grande Observer. There are six engines either In the city or near here, and four of them were designated for service out of La Grande. Two were for the O. & C. railroad and will ko on through to Portland. The new locomotives will be held here for the time being without being set up, but as soon as needed In Wash ington will be taken away. The decision to remove the engines from La Grande service was reached yesterday and wired to local officials this morning. The alfalfa fields suffer to a great er or leser extent every year from the ravages of grasshoppers. Of the several hundred kinds known to the specialist two appear to be the most frequent cause of complaint. They are among the largest species that we have and are known as the dif ferential and twoline grasshoppers. The former Is greenish yellow in col or and the latter Is marked by two pale lines running down the sides the entire length of the body. The eggs of both kinds are laid in late summer or fall In pods in the ground. Thirty or 40 eggs are placed In each pod. The pods are placed an Inch or more under the surface oi the ground and are almost water proof by being lined and covered with a sticky fluid which hardens into a leathery case. The Insects seems to prefer a compact soil which is not too moist. Hence, ditch banks, paths and dry knolls are most often selected. In the spring when the alfalfa be gins to grow, the eggs hatch and the young hopers find an abundant sup ply of fresh succulent food which Is Just what they need for their success In the world. At this season the Injury Is not much -noticed because the "hoppers" are so small that the quantity eaten is not great. Later In the summer when they attain considerable size the case Is different. The best remedies are preventative and can be applied in early spring with benefit to the alfalfa crop. All ditch banks, fence lines and waste corners should be burned over and cleaned up. If the surface of the ground can be stirred to the depth of two inches great benefit will follow. This measure tends to break up the pods of eggs, exposing the same to the weather, which is almost certain to be fatal. The eggs will be dried out or soaked with water, In either case pre venting their hatching. The birds and other animals will be able to ren der much better service by eating large numbers of them. The alfalfa field should be thor oughly disced to the depth of two or three inches. This will accomplish the purposes stated above. In doing in is work set the discs nearly vertical so they will not cut off the crowns of the plants. Prof. Olin of the Colo rado Agricultural college, is authority for the statement that discing acts like a tonic to alfalfa. Cooperation among farmers having adjoining fields of alfalfa Is very de sirable, since the "hoppers" are much given to migrating from one field to another. Two Rivers Tribune. Killed by a Work Train. Mr. Winters, the bridge watchman. who was Injured at Weatherbyand brought to the city Saturday and placed in the hospital, died last even' lng from the Injuries he received, says the Baker City Herald. From reports his own foolishness caused his death for he attempted to run In front of the work train from Weatherby to Huntington, and as tne train was rounding a curve the engine struck him and he was fatally injured. The body will be held at Welch's under taking parlors until they receive or ders from the O. R. & N. company. under whom lw was employed. A CongtJ Remedy that Cures.
