THE PEOPLES WAREHOUSE Where it Pays to Trade Save Your Coupons KING AMENDMENT TO WATER j CODE HAS MANY A FOE If the King amendment to the wa ter code is passed by the legislature original framers of the code assert that it will undo all the work accom plished in Oregon for equitable dis tribution of water rights, .transform the state water board of control from an administrative to an inflexible Ju- dicial body and add $6200 annually to 'the financial burden of Oregon with out providing for corresponding ben efits, says the Journal. The government reclamation ser vice in Oregon 1b also opposed to pas sage of the amendment on the ground that it will disturb the harmonious co-operation between federal and state water power and irrigation develop- ment and nullify much of the work already accomplished. Although the amendment provides "for an increase of $1200 a year In the salary of State Engineer Lewis, Mr. Lewis is understood to be oppos ed to its passage for the reasons men tioned. It is at the same time bo generally conceded that $200 a month is not adequate pay for the import ant duties performed by the state en gineer that it is believed the $100 a month increase will be provided for otherwise. That there Is no popular demand for the passage of the amendment and that the present water code has not been given full opportunity to show Its working value in the two years since it was passed are other reasons assigned why the King am endment should be rejected by the ' legislature. Speaking In behalf of the framers of the water code, which w passed in 1909, Attorney Rich ard W. Montague said yesterday. "Ixt Well Enough Alone" Montague "To change the water code at this time appeals to me strongly as am ounting to the same thing as pulling a healthy bush from the earth to see if by some means its roots cannot be made to grow a little faster. In two years the new water code has done wonderful things for Oregon. Con troversies have been settled with lit tle expense, water rights have been equitably apportioned, while as In ad ministrative body the board of con trol consisting of the state engineer and two superintendents has proven itself highly effective. The amend ment proposed by ex-Justice Will R. King adds to the board of control a new superintendent and makes Its de cisions have the finality of a court's. Its prosent powers are to ascertain the facts in any controversy and make reports accordingly. The amendment according to ex-Justice King, will make circuit court litigation unneces sary, as appeals will be taken direct from the board to the supreme court As a matter of fact litigation and de lays will be increased. The board now acts informally and without be ing subject to legal delays. Its find ings are nearly always final because correct. Because the people Interest ed feel that the board is impartial and fair the controversy of whatever na ture usually ends at once. "The amendment also provides that the district superintendent shall num ber three rather than two, that the salaries of district superintendents shall be $2500 a year instead of $2000 and that the state engineer shall re ceive $3600 Instead of $2400 a year. There is no particular complaint against salaries, because performance of the duties merits recompense, but a lessened effectiveness, an Increase of red tape, delays in settlement, are all to be complained of and we do complain." Attitude of Reclamation Service. "The reclamation service has not the slightest political Interest in the King amendment," said Oliver P. Morton, general couisel of the recla mation service In Oregon, California and Nevada, yesterday. "But we are interested in working out together the water right problems of this state. Our experience has been that the present water code is away ahead of laws In other states. It has been particularly beneficial wherever facts were needed to be ascertained, as In one notable case on Butter creek in Eastern Oregon, where a serious con tention was settled informally in a few months by the board when in litigation It would -have required all the way from three years to eternity for settlement. "As an administrative body the board of control gives splendid ser vice. As a judicial body It will no longer seem a 'little cousin' to water users, but a rigid, unbending court, where arbitration will be imnonnihlA where all legal delays will be Invoked and where bad feeling will rule. For tnese reasons we think it would be unfortunate for Oregon if the legis lature were to adont the Kinir am endment." Worn out.

KINti'S ALLEGED WIFE IS BEING LIONIZED ALIMIOXSO MAY" BE THE NEXT TO GO For u man who didn't believe In immortality, the late Senor Francisco Ferrer has a most lively ghost. Well might Alfonso say: "Life is Just one Ferrer spook after another." The anniversary of Fcrrer'a death, his birthday, the date on which his first modern school was opened, the anniversary of the publication of his various books, the commemoration of various events connected with his car eer all call for celebrations and ob servations which serve to keep Spain in an uproar. With a Ferrer anniversary to com memorate republican representatives from all parts of Spain convened to take steps to reorganize the party and nominate a chief. Among the republicans the predic tion Is freely made that Spain will be the next to follow In the wake of Portugal. The overthrow of the monarchy and the exile of Alfonso Is now alleged to be a matter of months, possibly of weeks or days. The apparent success of the Portu guese republic and the martyrdom of Ferrer have combined to give the re publican movement In Spain an im petus that it otherwise fight have been years In attaining. The republicans, as an organized political party, have now become so strong as to lead the government to adopt an attitude of conciliation. The warfare on the church was commenc ed In an effort to placate the repub licans, who are largely anti-clericals. The plan succeeded temporarily, but the republican agitation has now broken out afresh and with renewed enthusiasm. "Remember Ferrer!" and "Follow Portugal!" are bnttlecries which are now heard all over the country. The chief to bo named by the re publican gathering today may become the president of tho . Republic of Spain. Since the triumphant verdict for King George in the Myllus libel case, Admiral Seymour and his daughter, Mrs. Napier, have been somewhat lionized both in political and social circles. The story about Qeorge's hav-i Ing married Mrs. Napier, a!j Ming Seymour, had been goir the rouna3 so long that there ere many who tually bel;.;.VeUi despite assertions to the, contrary, that It contained much truth. Now that King George and Mrs. Napier have both been vindi cated, the powerful politically and so cially seem to be trying to make amends for what, the lady In the caa3, at least, has suffered for the last 20 years. But Ho DnoMi't IJvo In Pendleton Nor Itead tho East Oregonian. A man In Connecticut gave a doc tor, a specialist In catarrh, $50 to cure him of this common yet most obnoxious disease. The specialist gave him a bottle of medicine and told him to use It. The fool took the medicine home, took one dose, put it on a shelf and made no further effort to follow in structions. Three months later with the medi cine still on the shelf ho told a friend that the specialist was a fake; that he had paid him $50 and still had ca tarrh. HYOMEI (pronounco it High-o-me) won't cure catarrh if you don't breathe It; It will If you breathe It regularly. Furthermore, you don't need to give a specialist $50 to cure you of ca tarrh for the specialist Is yet to be born who can write a better prescrip tion than HYOMEI. Tallman & Co and druggists every where guarantee HYOMEI to cur catarrh or money back.
