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.

HUMS IUHS 10 ALFALFA
NEW. 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.
