Newspaper Page TextPolk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUB1J8HER Published Weekly at $1.50 per Strlntlv In Advance. Year. DALLAS, OREGON, Ai'RU, 13, 1906 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. PRIMARY DRAWS NEAR. Oue week from today, the voters of Oregon will go to the polls and chose their candidates for state, district and county offices. There has been no attempt in any quarter to evade the provisions of the direct primary law, but rather, a general desire among the voters, irrespective of party afSli Uation, to give the new method of selecting candidates a fair trial. The Observer did not favor the passage of this law, but has at all times advo cated giving it a fair test, believing that in no other way can the people determine whether they desire to re tain it upon the statute books. In advocating a thorough test of this law upon its merits, the Observer has only urged that those things be done that the law says must be done. The signing of Statement No. 1 is not . one of these. The provision covering this much-discussed pledge is not mandatory, and It is plain that the framers of the law did not so intend it to be. The observance or non-observ ance of this section is left to the judgment of the individual candidate, To men who believe in the main ten ance of opposing political parties as a means of securiDg good govern ment, any law that would force one party to elect a member of another party to next to the highest office within the gift of the people seems unjust and unreasonable. While partisan prejudice Is not as strong as It once was in this country, the On sekver Is not prepared to believe that the American people are willing to see politioal parties wiped out of ex istence. The very fact that none of the three Republican candidates for representa tive from Polk county havt) taken tnis pledge proves that it Is not seriously demanded by the voters, .uaa in Deen widely popular, some candidate would have arisen to champion it before the people. It is only reasonable to conclude that the Republicans of Polk county want to be represented by a man who will vote for a Republican for United States Senator. In the preliminary campaign just closing, the Observer has endeavored to be fair and impartial toward all can didates for public office. It has sought to coerce none luto its way of think ing, neither has it threatened any who happon to differ with Its opinions. It has permitted candidates to use a large amount of space usually devoted to local and county news in presenting their viows on quostions of public im portance to the voters, and for pub lishing this matter It has mado no charge. Space for pictures, letters and testimonials of indorsement, and all other like matter benefiting in dividual candidates only, has been charged for at regular commercial advertising rates. While each has been pormitted to present his own merits, we have permitted no candi date to speak disparagingly of his opponents. All matter of a personal nature reflecting upon the character or good name of auother has been consigned to the waste-basket, or promptly returned to tho sonder. To the credit of the candidates, it is only due to say that few articles of this nature have been offered for publi cation. The contest between the candidates for the county offices has, been notable so far for tho clean and good-natured manner in which it has been con ducted, and it is ouly reasonable to conclude that this friendship aud good-will among the contestants will continue to the end. Such conditions make It possible for all voters to line up In support of their respective tickets, when nominated, aud to work together pleasantly and harmoniously for party success. It Is now up to the people to turn out at the primaries and see that the best and most capable men are chosen for party standard bearers. Importance, there are other Issues that will not be lost sight of by the voters of Oregon in the present campaign. The people are goiog to ask candi da'es for the Legislature how they stand on the taxation of franchises, the Normal school question, the regu lation of insurance rates, legislation for equal taxation, inspection of state banks, better road laws, better school laws, and other questions of vital Im portance to the welfare of the state. The people have a right to ask these questions, and they are going to exer cise that right. The candidate who does not come out into the open and answer these questions fairly and honestly will stand little chance for election this year, whether he be for Statement No. 1, or otherwise. SCHOOL OFFICERS MEET Endorse Fair and Appoint Committee to Prepare Resolutions on Taxation. A highly interesting and profitable meeting of the school officers of Polk county was held at the courthouse, Saturday. Nearly every district in the county was represented, and the meeting lasted all day. Many patrons and friends of the public schools were present and took part in the dis cussions. Hon. George W. Myer,.of Smithfleld, was the presiding officer. The entire forenoon session was de voted to the discussion of plans for the Polk county public school fair to be held in Dallas next September. The farmers are enthusiastic for the success of.the Fair, and all pledged their heaity support to the movement. C. L. Hawley, of McCoy, -was ap pointed to head the Executive Board. In the afternoon the question of school taxation was discussed at lengtn, ana a committee was ap pointed to prepare resolutions to be submitted at a later date covering needed legislation to be asked at the hands of the next legislature. Among the school officers present were: H. G. Campbell, G. W. Myer, T. W. Brunk, J. M. Taber, C. C. Gardner, A. W. Plankinton, Wm, Hoisington, Henry Voth, E. Aebi, P.

FALLS CITY CHOPPERS Captain V. P. Fiske Organizes Wood' man Camp at Falls City With Forty Charter Members. Ate Poisoned Food. Two Dallas boys were victims of the plot to poison the boarders at Miss Behren's boarding house in Heppner last week. Robert Gaynor drank coffee and was immediately siezed with intense pain. His condition was considered very serious for a few hours, and it was only through the prompt efforts of physicians that his life was saved. Clarence Shultz ate mush made with water from the poisoned teakettle, but escaped serious illness, the mush doubtless absorbing jnuch of the druor. aud renderincr harmless the small quantity he ate. Analysis of the contents of the cook ing utensils revealed sufficient oxalic acid to kill the inhabitants of the en tire town. J. II. Bode, step-father of Miss Behrens, was placed under arrest on a charge of attempting to poison the members of the household, and has been held to answer to the Circuit Court. Clarence Shultz returned to Dallas this week and has entirely re covered from tho effects of the poison. One hundred Woodmen from Dallas Camp went to Falls City by special train Saturday night and helped to organize a Camp at that place. Organizers H. L. Day and Captain V. P. Fiske, officers of Dallas Camp and Captain Muscott's drill team had charge of the work, which was put on in excellent shape. After the lodge had been duly organized, the visitors were taken to the hotel and treated to a nice supper by the Falls City boys. The new camp starts out with about 40 members, and has bright prospects for a rapid growth. The officers are : P. C, H. 0. Courter; C. C, H. E. Starr; A. L., D. D. Bell; banker, D. J. Grant ; clerk, C. V. Averill ; escort, W. Harmon; watchman, C. D. Tice; sentry, J. F. Jones; managers, S. S. Cook, W. T. Grier, G. A. Griswold. The organization of a live camp of "choppers" at Falls City is due to the effoits of Captain V. P. Fiske, that tireless toiler In the cause of Wood craft. The membership is composed of bright and energetic young men, and the Observer predicts that Falls City Camp will take its place among the best aud brightest in Oregon. BUSINESS LOCALS.
