Twelve law and constitutional
amendments enacted by the peo
ple at the election, June 1, have
been in effect since Tuesday,
June 23, when Governor Cham
berlain issued a proclamation
declaring them to be a part of
tVio Inn? nf the state.
Taking them in the order that
they ' were promulgated Dy ine j
secretary of state, it will be seen
that. t.b time for holding the
general elections will iiow be the
first Monday in JNOvem oer in
stead of the first Monday in June.
Consequently the next general
election will be held in Novem
ber of 1910. By the reason of
this change primary elections
for the nomination of state and
county officers will be held in
September, the primary law fix
ing the time for holding the pri
maries at the 45th day before
any general election.
The governor's proclamation
thus makes both fish bills effec-
tive, so that UolumDia lviver
fishing is strictly regulated on
both the upper and lower rivers.
Under the provisions of the
prisoners' feeding bill drafted
and enacted by the legislature
primarily for the benefit of Sher
iff Stevens of Multnomah coun
to, all sheriffs in Oregon are now
the sole custodians and guar
dians of the prisoners in their
jails. In Multnomah county al
so the sheriff is allowed 12i cents
a meal for the food furnished to
the prisoners.
liv virtue of the same vote of
the people the University of Ore
gon is safe in its appropriation
of $125,000 for 1907 and of the
same-anojOV'nt for eaetuyeaxjiere
after.
It is now possible for all pub
ic orhciais wno are not uomg
their duty under the law and
custom to be recalled Dy tiie vot
ers who are disgruntled over
their failure to fulfill the oaths
taken. Public interest is on edge
waiting to see what part of the
state the recall will strike first.
The statute instructing mem
bers of the legislature to vote for
that United States senatorial
candidate who receives the high
est number ol votes at the gen
ernl election is also a law. It
will not be bindinsr upon the
members of the legislature elect
ed in June last.
The proportional represents
tion amendment is now in effect,
and vet is not effective. The
amendment provides for propor-
tional representation, but leaves
the legislature to wrestle with
the manner of securing such
representation. It is contem
plated bv the amendment that
the legislature by statute should
irovide a way of securing such
representation. It will be up to
the next legislature, therefore.
--
to enact a law putting into effect
the constitutional amendment
The corrupt practice act is
now a law and from this time on
it is illegal to offer cigars to the
prospective voters and politica
supporters. In fact, under the
act it is illegal to do anything
except silently cast a ballot in
the box, or at least nearly as
close drawn a condition as that.
Hereafter campaigns are 10 ue
conducted through the Secretary
of State and State Printer, so iar
as advertising is concerned. The
state printer is to make pamph
lets setting forth the claims of
the various candidates as to why
they should be elected. The cost
of the pamphlets is to be borne
by the candidates, who are to
pay from to $ iw a page iut
The Secretary of
State will mail the pamphlets to
the registered voters a iew uav
before the primaries and another
set shortly before the general
election.
Grand juries have come back
to the people of the state and the,
district attorney of any district!
is not empowered to sit as a
grand jury from this time on.
All indictments are now to be
returned by juries and the tiling
of information on the complaint
of the district attorney is now a
thing of the past.
Hood River county is now in
good working order and is run
ning under the administration
of a set of officials appointed by
the governor not long ago.
BANKS AND BANKING
Pnrt. of an address by H. S.
Fletcher, President of the Bank
of Watson ville, before the Call
' Association, as
1U1 iiu w"lv '
follows:
. QUALIFICATIONS OF A BANKER
"A banker should be a special
ist. Experience in our profes-
eirn as in everv other, is the
bp.st teacher, and the more we
Via t.vo oTfat.fir its value to the
institution we are connected with
"Politics and religion do not
with banking. We
ehm-il PTef.ihe ODinionsr- of.
- s. - . . -1 ,
otners in rengiuu, anu wo uoy
a perfect right to follow the dic
tates of our own consciences in
the matter of religion, but when
a banker adds a show 01 devotion
to his Qualities as a banker for
advantage to his business, it sav
ors too much 01 hypocrisy to De
satisfactory or respectable.
"In politics every citizen snouiu
havfi an opinion and a decided
one, and a banker should always
be found on the side ot honesty
and honest administration; but
remember that a good politician
is alwavs a poor banker, just as
sure as a good banker is always
a poor politician. 1 eopie witn
money are not looking for trus
tees for their funds from the
ranks of politicians, for as a class
they have been known as "scaly"
since the time ol Elizabeth.
OVERDRAFTS.
"No person, firm or corpora
tion was ever granted the privi-
lptrfi of overdrawing but what
a bused it and went beyond the
limit, np-reed upon. This seems
- . . . T 1
like a broad assertion, yet 1 nave
no doubt but what the experi
ence of my hearers will warrant
my position.
"The loss of an account that
is constantly being overdrawn is
n o-ain to the bank. A bank that
allows overdrafts is like the driv
er who nas neiuier wutu
lines. The results that are sure
to follow, to the embarassment
of the bank, depend solely upon
circumstances and time.
"An overdrawn account shows
shiftlessness both on the part of
the borrower and lender. There
is lio logic in allowing such a
custom. Who would think of
asking a private money lender
to keep an undetermined amount
subject to the order of a drawer,
if needed, paying interest only
on the sum that was used r
PERSONAL SOLICITATIONS OF AC
COUNTS. "Conservativeand self-respect-
ino- hnnl-s ran never approve the
practice of personal solicitation
ot accounts, or pari 01 an ac
count. A divided account is
worth less than half of its entire
ty. The banker's slogan should
be, 'Give all your business 10
one bank.'
'When ftp counts come to a
bank as the result of personal
solicitation, it frequently nap-
nATis that, thev bring with them
requests lor accommodations
i 1 1
that have to be reiused or loss
result, and the strife for business
amono-bankers is taken advant
afre of bv shrewd men who play
one banker against the other for
their own advantage, tnus piau-
ino- the results Irom tnis ousi-
ness on the wrong side and be-
trettms-the enmity, andiustiy, oi
banks losing customers through
the solicitations of others.
'Tn the list of recent failures
you will find that the policy of
all suspended DanKs was to solic
it business. One of the large
Eastern banks that failed had a
corps of solicitors, and worked
in such a selfish manner that it
was known as the 'Bank Pirate.
When times of stringency came
this bank suffered from lack of
srmrvort from the other banks
which had lost from its hoggish
methods during prosperous times
should.
"How much to be valued, and
how much greater the chance
that pleasant relations will tol-
low from accounts that come to
ns unsolicited.
"Bankers who solicit deposits
always convey the impression
that they need the money. J
never asked a man lor nis ousi
ness. I never will. I am satis
fied with the results that have
followed this policy."
THE SAILFISH.
It Takes Great Skill to Land Him With
Reel and Rod.
The small number of sailfish an
nually taken in Atlantic waters is
partially explained by the uncer
tainties and difficulties to' be en
countered in locating their pres
ence as well as the great skill, ex
perience and endurance required in
handling tnem witn rou auu ice.

WHY ORGANIZE GRANGES?
Some Answer Given by Pennsylvania
Patrons to the Question.
Some time ago State Master II ill of
Pennsylvania sent a letter to several
masters of newly organized granges
asking for the most prominent reasons
why their granges were orgumzeu.
Their answers were interesting ami
'correct" We make an extract trom
. throo nf them. One master
says, "First, co-operation; second, in
surance; third, sociability ana me gen
eral promotion of the farmers' Inter
ests." Another says. "Co-operation
and social advantages and to secure
legislation in the Interest of the farm
er." A third reason given was: i-j-
cause of its social features and because
it has the means of developing a high
er manhood and womanhood among
its members. It is a means of develop
ing a feeling of fraternity and good
will among farmers which cannot be
otherwise developed. Because its fun
damental principles are based on right
nnri insticp: also for the benefits de
rived through its co-operative features
In getting bettor prices on the neces
saries of life and better rates of insur
ance." And a fourth gave these rea
sons: First, to make it possible for
f.nrmcrs to meet ill a body and feel as
though they bad some rights in otner
words, make the farmer reel more in
dependent; second, for the social ad
vantages: third, for the advantages the
grange extends to the members In general."

There Are Others.
Tirsl-T?(r"iuse the erange is the old
est best and most substantial farmers'
organization and the association of the
members helps them to become Deuer
farmers and better neighbors.
Second. Because its social ieatures
in a great measure tend upward In the
elevation of the farmer and farm life
and place the wife as an equal In the
rank and file of the oraer.
Third Rpcause it is a Bchoo or, ..
thought, where men and women have
an opportunity to develop good will
and a fraternal feeling among iarmers,
giving them greater confidence in them
selves and others and developing a
higher manhood and womannoou
among its members.
Fourth. Because it is nonpartisan
and nonsectarian, yet in its education
al and literary work it has a great tend
ency to broaden the farmer's mind
and lead him to study and investigate
questions which relate not only to the
farm and farm life, but .to affairs of
state and nation as well.
Tiftb p.pnnuse it cives the farmers
the best of opportunities to unite their
efforts to secure the enactment of such
nonpartisan legislation as will protect
their interests and that which will be
of a general benefit to all farmers,
whether they be members or not.
His Amendment.
A good many years ago it is said
that a bill was reported in the New
York assembly entitled "An act for
. . All 1 J1 1. .
the preservation ot tne neain ueu
and other game." The speaker, a
very shortsighted man and nothing
of a sportsman, after a squinting
look at the paper, read, "An act for
the preservation of the heathen and
other game."
TJo irae nnnnrentlv unconscious
of his blunder and of the ripple of
merriment which was running
armi n-h thf house until an honest
member from the north, who had
suffered considerably by the depre
dations of a frontier tribe, but who
v.nA no nf thp kindest Hearts m
the whole assembly, proposed a half
(rniamni amendment:
"Including maians, geuuemeu,
T chmilHn't want 'em left out, in
spite of everything they've done to

What One Grange Did.
In Berkshire county, at West Stock
bridfre Center, is located a small but
active grange. It has been organized
but three years and has omy eigniy
members. This grange rented a hall
for a fcw months, then bought a farm
and, with the exception of twelve,
acres, sold it all to neighbors. They
then erected a dwelling house, wood
sied and barns. The one and one
half story house was made Into a
grange hall, and at the rear of the hall
arl n kitchen and other rooms. The
barns accommodate twenty-five horses.
The members expect to enlarge the
house and convert the second story
into a grange hall and the present nan
intn a riinin'r room. A grange of thi9
sort can soon convert a dull, listless
community into a hive or wording
bees."
Co-operative Trade.
Tho recpnt renort of Aroostook Po
mona grange disclosed the fact, sayrf
the Maine Farmer, that another Dig
grange of that county, -Caribou, is do
ing an encouraging stunt in iue uuo
of co-operative trade. The reports
state that the store of the organization
did a sales business of over $36,000
during 1907 with a trade stock of but
slightly over $0,000. Houlton, tne Dan-
,onro fnr sizp in the world, does
a much heavier business, but Caribou
tc o-nnn-intr and there Is no good rea
son why scores more of Maine granges
should not get in line.
An Active Pomona.
ti,o fnrrv-fifth session of the Dutch
ess county (X- Y.) Pomona grange was
held in Pougukeepsle iiarcn 4. wicu
tin attendance of about 300. It was a
very enthusiastic session. Resolutions
were adopted favoring the Agnew
Hart bill against race track gambling,
favoring a trolley road on the Albany
post road. Another requested that rep
resentatives of the legislature vote for
the Scott bill regarding the unlawful
detention of milk cans in transporta
tion to market
