THE PEOPLE'S SLOGAN.
Coanuci.is on the streets regarding
the Ulan of electing a council who
will i'avor paving five blocks of the j
busintss section of Independence are!
generally favorable and tin? hope is j
freely e.xprtssed that in the m-x:
couiml men will be elected who will:
undertake the work. There is no op- j
position to the project outside of a)
few property holders who would be !
benefitted by the improvements. The
time has come when the proposition
ot pavements must be dealt with. The
city's business hit: rests are now
standing still and the question of
whtiner we are to go forward or fall
back in the march of progress that
all o her towns are undertaking de
pends on these improvements. Mud
streets are a poor recommendation
these days and few investors will
stop to take a second look at. a town
which has no more show of prosper
ity. The development of the country
tributary to a town is largely influ
enced by the air of prosperity which
is displayed in the city. Poor streets
and unattractive stores indicate pov
erty stricken farms. We owe it to
the population of our rural districts
to put "Sunday clothes" on our
streets. Our business institutions
are creditable in every sense but our
streets are abominable. When we
take into consideration that once
paved the expense practically ceases
there seems little argument against
the plan. The expense of oiling and
sprinkling the streets is money
thrown away. It is worse than rent
money for in that the tenant escapes
taxes, interest and insurance. The
money for sprinkling and oiling might
as well be thrown in the Willamette
river so far aa the future comfort of
Independence is concerned.
Of course, the first thing is the
sewering of the town. The work of
sewering couldn't well be done after
hard pavements are laid. Sewers for
the city, however, are a foregone con
i.,: Tho npnnle are determined
i
to have them. It is a sanitary ne-
cessity of Independence. I
Nothing but the promptings of seir
ishness will stand in the way of hard
surface pavements for Independence
and when arguments come up against
the paving project, look for the mo
tive. Stand out against such argu
ment and be bigger than your pock
et book. Let's have a slogan. Let's
make it Hard Surface Pavements and
a harmonious council for Indepen
dence. This for 1910 if nothing more.

Judge McCredie, who has been
elected to reprsent the state of Wash
ington in Congress, says that he is
in favor of postal savings banks and
the parcel post. He says more: that
postal savings banks are a foregone
conclusion and that he knows no rea
son, why we should not have the par
cel post also. He says that he is
in favor of the people rather than
the express companies and that un
less there is some other reason for
refusing it that he favors the parcel
DOSt. The one other reason Is the
corrupting of the servants of the peo-j
pie by the express companies, and it

The 12 gauge E2arfin
rMwaT is a pun of cerfect
rtrnnrtrtinns. and hafi one-third less
parts than any other repeater. It
bandies quickly, works smoothly and
shoots close and hard.
The 2Rat&it solid top prevents
powder and gases blowing back ; the
side ejection of shells allows instant
repeat shots ; the closed-in breechbolt
keeps out all rain, snow and sleet, and
the dirt, leaves, twigs and sand that
clog up other repeaters.
All 12-sauee TZartut repeter have
double extractors that pull any shell, and
the automatic recoil hangfire safety lock
makes them the safest breech-loading gum

You must hear the Edison Phonograph sing or play the kind ot music
