Folic County Observer J. C. HAYTER, KDITOH AND PUBLISHER euolUhed Weekly at 11.60 per Strlctlv in Advance. Year. DALLAS, OREGON, JUNE 15, 19C6 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. k. "tin. Now, that tho big appropriation bill has been approved by the people, the state will be oblicred to pay the amouot9 held up by the referendum, and possibly $20,000 or $25,000 for Interest charges besides. The four Normal schools, which were the especial object of attack, are as strong. and possibly stronger, than tbey were before, for the reason that many peo ple will look upon the vote as an en dorsement of the Normal school system of Oregon. For the present state of affairs, we have the Governor's failure of courage and the blind and un reasoning prejudice of a little bunch of Yamhill county citizens to blame. While warned on all aides that they were putting the cart before the horse in Invoking the referendum Instead of the Initiative on the Normal school question, these foes of the Normal schools were deaf to reason and went stubbornly ahead with their referen dum petitions and soon secured the small number of signatures necessary to hold up the bill. Had they called the initiative to their aid and let the appropriation bill alone, as they were advised to do, some beneficial results might have been obtained. There is little doubt that a bill abolishing two, or even three, of the Normal schools in the state would have carried in the recent election by an overwhelming .majority. . If the report is true that Washington is to escape the 25 per cent raise in in surance rates to which Oregon is forced to submit, the next Oregon Legislature already has some im portant work laid out for itself. The people of this stute have tolerated the arbitrary methods of the Board of Underwriters long and patiently, and the insurance companies have handled past Legislatures as they pleased. Whether the recent report of favoritism is true or not, it is time for tho Legis lature to wake up and place a restrain ing hand, oq, the metftods of the .JL!Qd0YwrUers. The bill to prevent combinations among insurance com panies was about the only decent bill Introduced in the last Legislature, and It was quietly put to sleep by that corporation-controlled body.' Small wonder that the insurance trust looks upon the people of Oregon as "easy marks." It is to be hoped, however, that the next Legislature will arise to the emergency, and force the insur ance companies to deal fairly with the people of the state. WINNIE SCOTT IS DEAD Well, .Known Stockman Passes Away at His Home In Malheur County. The sad news comes from .Vale, Ore, gon, that Winnie Scott, a prominent stockman of Malheur county, died of heart disease at his home near Beulah on Thursday, May 31. No word has been received in Pallas from his relatives, and the only particulars obtainable are found In a meager ac count of bis death published in the Vule Oriano. That paper says: "Universal sadness prevails through out the entire country from the sudden death of M. W. Scott, which occurred at Beulah, Thursday evening, May 31. The particulars as we learn them are that after riding ail day after stock, he dropped dead from heart disease soon after reaching home. He was a native of Oregon, and was 44 years old. "Each individual feels this as a personal los9. Everyone knew him. Everyone knew his kind, upright, manly nature. Everyone loved the man as a warm personal friend." Winnie Scott was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Scott, honored pioneers of Tolk county. His boy hood days were spent in and around Dallas and on his father's farm. He attended school at LaCreole Academy, where he was a leader in athletic sports and games, and was popular among his schoolmates. When he reached the age of manhood, he went to Eastern Oregon and engaged in stockraising on an extensive scale. He is survived by two brothers and three sisters. Mrs. Clara Burson, the oldest sister, has been making her home with him. tfalls City notes DO YCU KNOV7 That Dr. Plwco's Favorite Proscrlrtlnn Is t!n only nxHlldno wild tlinir,'h di'iipri.- t f;;r v.-omu!)"' woakn"sM d peculiar nil muiit? t!i ' 'S not com... a lurtro qiinnti tics of :!!'..: 'i.'
