I earn six hundred bones a year,
eid have some fourteen aunts to
feed; and now that everything is dear,
if takes some figuring indeed. I'm
thrifty. In the hither sense, although
I play lu evil luck: my Income covers
my expense, nu man can say I owe a
buck. My neighbor earns three thous
and wheels while for six hundred
wheels I grind; and doubtless, in his
pride, he feels that I'm Uie selling
plater kind. And creditors to his
nbode" are wearing paths, the long
year through; collectors linger in the
road to touch him for some bill that's
due. My uunts are always wanting
things; they yearn for things no
minuter needs, for furbelows and
diamond rings, canary birds and
widow's weeds. They say, "Your
credit at the store is right side up.
emd three feet wide; why must we
always walk the floor and weep for
tilings tbat are denied?" I answer,
fueling slightly bored, "It Is no use
to scream ind pout; the silly things
we can't afford are just the things
we'll do without." Herein bohold
the soul of thrift: To pass up what
re can't afford, the new fur coat, the
motor swift, the trotting with a gilded
horde.
U PON the showing made in the census enumeration
depends Salem's relative standing among the cities
of the country for the next ten years. Upon the popula
tion as established by the census, the city will be rated. It
is therefore a matter of civic duty as well as civic pride,
for everyone to constitute himself or herself a committee
of one to see that all are listed and to report to the office
of the census bureau at the postoffice names of persons
so far omitted.
There is an intense effort under way on the part of
Astona to be rated as second city of Oregon and we may
rest assured that everyone in that progressive seaport
will be listed at least once. Astoria is desirous of ranking
for the next ten years as leading Salem and other Oregon
cities, realizing the advantage and the advertising there
by secured.
balem must not be found asleep at the switch m this
emergency. There is no question but that we have the
population. It is merely a problem of getting it down ini
black and white, and this can be assured by the loyal co
operation of every Salemite.
The Salem Cherrians will canvass the city Monday
to secure the names of those missed by the census enum
erators. They ask the aid of every citizen.
Ask everyone whether they have been enumerated.
If not, see that they are on the list.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES.
Editor Capital Journal: I note
what you have to say about growers
oiling their loganberries to a fruit
processing firm In Washington.
Now, (hat would be nil very nice
for our Balem fruit packers 1C the
farmers would refuse to take a high
er market price, for their loganberries
than they would offer.
Last year It was the entrance of
otilHide buyers into the local field
that forced the market up from 3V4
cents to 8V4 centR a pound.
The cooperation cannery at Kngenc
returned 13Vi cents a pound to grow
ers for their loganberries. Ntiw this
uucKtlnn forces us, if the, Kugeno ran
Bevy could market the berries in that
"district at such ti splendid price, why
could not our own trull firms i'o as
much for the Marion county logan
berry growors?
There is n reason. They wanted to
Make Jiint us much out of Uie market
ing business nu they could. They
were apparently not very mum con
cerned about tbo profits or welfare of
the farmer. Then, why should the
f irmer sacrifice the Increased profits
diould outside firms make such
profits available?
No sir. The best friends the local
loganberry growers have am these
outside firms who come into this Held
and compel ottr canneries. Juice and
Jelly plants to pay the market price
for our trull or the berries will go
elsewhere. That la bijsinetis.
The Washington firms of which
?ett write is equipping one of the
largest canneries In the state at Al'
huny. It is to bo run on strictly co
operative lines snd will prove to he
as ureal it factor In developing the
central Willamette valley as it has
been In developing the i'uyalluu val
ley In Washington.
All tills talk ubout patronizing
home Industry Is all right, but It has
Its limitations.
LOfiAN.riERItY.
A BILL is pending in the legislature for the "stabiliz
ing" of the state constitution, by a constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the people at the next gen
eral election, whereby a majority of the registered votes
will be required to pass an amendment.
Under the present registration law. when registra
tions are permanent, and voters remain registered long
aiter removal, tne registration list is unduly padded and
the ballots cast never even approximate the registered
list. Upon any measure, it would be practically impossible
to secure a majority of the registered vote.
Minnesota has such a law, and so have other states,
in which constitutional chances have been Dracticallv im
possible. . The result would be a rigid constitution, prac
tically impossible of alteration to meet changed con
ditions. t There is considerable merit in the claim that consti
tutional cnanges are made altogether too easily under the
present system whereby an organized minority can put
over fundamental changes in organic law against an un
organized majority, but the proposed change gives every
man who stays at home a vote against a change of any
kind.
The constitution can be safeguarded if deemed neces
sary in better fashion by requiring two-thirds majority
of votes cast for the measure. Only those vote on the bal
lot measures who have studied the subject at issue, and a
two thirds vote would fairly indicate overwhelming pub
lic sentiment.
u The1hst01'y of Oregon, however, does not show that
the people have abused this privilege and proves that they
have as a rule exercised good judgment in passing upon
such measures. Constitutional changes should, however
be made more difficult than statute alteration

Each day now Cuffy climbed a ledge, a big Mrd s nest made ot sucks.
It was the biggest bird's nest Cuffy
had ever seen; and in it were two
great white eggs. They were ttv
greatest white eggs Cuffy had ever
seen. too.
How lucky! At least, that was
what Cuffy' thought then. Kor he
was very fond of birds' egs and his
climb hal made him even hungrier
than usual. He stopped then and
there and with one rap ui tne paw
I he broke one of the eggs and began
t eat it.
Cuffy was enjoying his lunch very
much. He had almost finished the
first .egg and was just about to turn
to the other when he heard a deaf
ening scream.
Cliffy looked all around. He
thought that perhaps there was a pig
up there-on the mountain. But no!
He couldn't see a thing. Then came
that cry again. This time it was
louder. And it seemed to come from
right over Cuffy's head. He looked
up then. And there was an enormous
bird dropping right down on top of
him! It seemed to Cuffy that its
wings stretched as wide as the
branches of the great pine tree in his
father's front-yard. He never even
dreamed that there could be us big a
bird in the whole world. And during
that one Instant that Cuffy's little
beady bright eyes were turned up
wards he saw that the great bird had
a wicked, hooked beak and claws that
were as sharp as his own, and ever so
much longer.
One look was enough for Cuffy. He
turned and tumbled down the steep
cliff, head over heels, with the eagle
following him.
little nearer the top of Blue Mountain.
And at last the day came when he
reached the very top. It was so high
that the tree did not grow there. He
found nothing but rocks everywhere,
with Just a little earth to fill the
cracks.
Cuffy thought it great fun to clam
ber about all by himself and look
down at the hills and valleys that
stretched away in all directions. In-
