A BILL THATSAVES MONEY
Creates No New Offices
Puts All County Offices on Same Basis By
Making Terms of Equal Length
Efficiency, more capable public
officials, and reduction of expenses
are the three most important ele
ments to be considered when an
mendment to our constitution is be
fore us for initiation.
The initiative measure Nos. 308
and 309 for the amendment of the
constitution of the State of Oregon
in the matter of increasing the
term of office of certain county offi
cialsthat is, county clerk, coron
er, sheriff, surveyor and treasurer,
if ratified by the vote of the people
in the election November, 1920,
will undoubtedly result in a more
capable and efficient type of official
will give the taxpayers less expense
and will result in greater efficiency
in the work o' these various offi
cials. The undersigned recommend this
amendment for the increasing of
the term of office of aunty officials
for ratification by the voters of this
state for the above reasons, and be
cause of the following further ad
vantages which will accrue to the
taxpayers of this state if this
amendment is passed and becomes
a part of the Constitution of the
State of Oregon. Capable men will
much more readily run for office
when they are assured of a four
year term in case they are elected,
inasmuch as a two-year term mere
ly means that by the end of the
first year when they are beginning
to get acquainted with the duties
of their office they must starta cam
paign for re-election, which in
volves considerable expense on
their part in addition to the worry
and attention, and lessens their effi
ciency in office. A four-year term
is desirable and worth considering
to such candidates who would not
consider a shorter term.
The passatre of such an amend
ment would also lessen the expense
ci election and will classify Duhli
service under the same practical
tenure as private business wherein
competent heads of departments
are rated ly their ability and effi
ciency.
ENDORSEMENTS
This amendment is endorsed by
sen w. uicott, bovernor of Oregon
by Geo. M. Brown. Attornev-Genpr.
al, who endorses it in the following
words: "I endorse constitutional
amendment fixing term of certain
county officials, and esDeciallv as it
relates to the clerk and sheriff. I
do so for the reason that it is in
the interest of well trained public
officials." Also by Sam A. Kcser,
Secretary of State "I am heartily
in favor of proposed amendment
extending the terms of county
clerks and treasurers to four years.
The term of office at present is
hardly of sufficient duration to en
able an official to acquaint hirme'f
with the dutiei thereof before he
must seek re-election. A longer
term, to my mind, tends toward
the more efficient performance of
the duties of the office by those
whom the people select therefor."
This amendment is also endorsed
by Conrad P. Olson, Eugene Brook
ings, snd many others.

WHY
Phonograph Gives Us Such
Faithful Reproduction
Few people know why It la nosaihle
to reproduce the vocal or Instrumental
art of a great artist with the faithful
ness of the modern phonograph. Id
the first place. It should he rem
bered that sound waves gradually dl
mlnlsh Id volume If released In a large
space of air, Just as the ripples caused
by tossing a pebble into a still tiool
gradually become smaller.
The "record" consists of One loin
groove having Indentations of varvlnt
sizes Id It to represent' the sound
waves to be reproduced. These small
Indentations are either In the bottom
sides of the groove. At the begin
ning and end of the groove there are
Do Indentations, as It Is desirable to
have a space for the stylus to run Id
until it can be removed from the rec
ord, If finishing ploying, and when
starting the record It Is desirable to
place the stylus In the groove before
any of the Indentations are reached.
kiHin us "the iijlus or nt-nlle In
pluo-d In the groove of the revolving
record, only a alight hissing sound l
produced until the sound Indcutulloiia
ire reuched. As soon as the stylus
strikes these tiny olistructluna vibra
tions are set up which are conducted
to the center of the diaphragm of the
reproducer.
Then Jimt as tint ripples of water
roll awny from the spot where the
stone struck, the vibrations spread
throughout the reproducing membrane,
re-creating the original sounds, al
though In a reduced volume. The re
volving of the record it even imh1
causes the vlbrutloni to follow each
other In their proper order.
llie diaphragm must be of absolutm
ly even graduations or "blusty" repro
duction will result. As the sound
waves are then Increased, we mlirlit
say "transformed," by passing through
me grauuuted sections of the tone
nrm.
As the size of the tone arm In
creases the sound waves expand, thus
bringing hack much of the original vol
ume. The nczt time your "talking ma
chine" does not work well you can
solve the trouble quicker If vou use
little common sense and remember
