- Polk County Observer J. O. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBU8HEH, Published Semi-Weekly at 11.60 per Tear. Strictly In advance. , Entered as second-class matter March 1. 1907, at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act of Con gress of March 8, 1879. DALLAS, OREGON, MARCH 1, 1910. The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. spect for Frank Benson because he views the matter as he d oes. It matters not whether there are one, two or five candidates against Benson for secretary of state, we be lieve that the people are for him and will renominate and re-elct him. They could not do better. State Superintendent Visits. Superintendent of Instruction J. H. Ackerman passed through Dallas, Sat urday, on his way home from Falls City, where he had bon attending an Educational Rally. Mr. Ackerman re ports a highly successful meeting in Polk County's live lumber town. The attendance was fair, and much Inter est was taken in the various papers and discussions. Lunch was served by the teachers and the ladies of the community. A VICIOUS MEASURE Once more the Observer desires to call attention to the proposed amend ment to the constitution that is to be submitted to the voters of Oregon for adoption or rejection next November. It is proposed to upset the whole plan of government now In existence by giving the Governor the exclusive pow er to appoint all other state officers. Not satisfied with this radical pro posal, the constitution tinkers would go farther and take the election of district attorneys and sheriffs out of the hands of the people and give the Oovernor nower to appoint them Just think, you good, law-abiding cit izen, what it would mean to give one man the sole power to appoint every BherifT and district attorney In the state! If the people of Oregon think they would like to be governed by an absolute monarch, they have only to go to the polls at the next election and make a cross between this amendment and its number on the ballot. When the rumor first reached the public that Mr. U'Ren and his assist ant were preparing such a revolution ary and un-American measure, the voters could scarcely believe their ears. They did not believe that any man, or set of men, would have the temerity to propose such a dangerous and radical scheme with any hope of its receiving favorable consideration Many, Indeed, were inclined to treat the rumor as a Joke, believing that the men reported to be behind It would eventually confess to the people that they were only testing the credulity of the Oregon voters. Any such char itable view, however, was destined to be swept asido, for the rumor was soon followed by conllrmation by Mr. U'Ren, himself, in a statement to the effect that he and his associates were very much In earnest In their plans to place such a measure before the vot era at the November election. That he is ready and anxious to carry his plans to a finish Is evidenced by the recent mailing of a pamphlet containing ar gument in support of the amendment to every voter In the state. The Observer wishes it might pre diet that this amendment would not receive a single vote In Oregon other than that of Mr. U'Ren, It would ox press such prediction, were It not for the fact that other amendments, equally radical and only a little less dangerous, emanating from this same source, have been written into the constitution of Oregon in the lust few years. Under existing conditions, we can only give voice to tho hope that this latest measure will meet the fate It so richly deserves. Fellow Americans, before you vote for such government think of the Father of Our Country. Think of Lex ington and Concord and Bunker 11!!!. Think of the sufferings and privations endured by the Revolutionary aires at Valley Forge. Think of the Declaration of Independence. Think of Hhlloh and Antletam and Missionary Ridge. Think of the martyred Lincoln and his Im mortal speech at Gettysburg. Think of that loved father or brother whose life blood crimsoned the god that a "government of the people, by Un people, and for the people" might not perish from the earth. Think of these things, and then go to the polls and bury this proposed revival of foreign desiMdlsm so deep that no crank or theorist will ever again bo found at tempting to make such an absurdity a part of the fundamental law. GOVERNOR BENSON. (Baker City Herald.) Of all the prbllc oltlclals that Ore gon has ever had, the present governor advanced to the ofllce by peculiar cir cumstances. Is probably nearest a com moner. Frank W. Benson loves his Oregon country next to his wife, and he has that kindly feeling for Its every citizen which makes him a great man. lie la possessed of marked qualities of statesmanship, although he abhors the plan of calling attention to himself at any time. Since his Induction into of flve at Salem things have moved quite differently than before, because he be lieves with all of his heart and soul in republican principles and the republi can party. People In Baker City knew of Frank Rcnaon and had a high regard for him before he spent two days In Baker last , week, but after he had associated with the Baker people they not only retain ed the high regard they possessed for him, but they .ire now willing to go out and do a little work to ace that he Is retained In oflice, j Governor Benson's nnture Is bent Il lustrated by his attitude on the trover- ' liormhlp. It Hill be remembered that he was elected to the onVe of secre- i tary of elate and under Oregon I hot he succeeded to the governor' chair because of a vacancy. He ts makini: good In every way as governor and many of the members of the party are demanding his election to the highest office of the state. But Benson aavt "no," that he aa elected by the p. ople to be their secretary of state; that he la their governor by force of circum stances, and therefore haa no right to ask election to that offlce. preferring to play fairly and run for a second term a secretary of state. Few men, yea, we ssy from our knowledge of politics, that very few me would hesitate a moment when they saw it possible lo fill the guberna torial chair by election. But Benson has some ronacienttous scrapie In the mstt.r. Just as every public man who expects In stand oa his feet in politics for any tenrth of time, should have. And hile there la a demand for him to ran. the repsMicans of Oregon can rot refrain from feeling a. higher re Rink Will Be Closed.

It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off when not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to li t lislit burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probubly get some kind ot artificial light for less money than elec tric light, but does it save you anything when it limits opportunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but It wouldn't be eceon omy. It Is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
