Vol. XII Maupin Southern Wasco Couuty Orejron, Thursday, Octobei 28, 1926 No. 51 IAU Support Frederick Steiwer FOR U.S. SENATOR Would you scrap Orcgon'i direct primary law? Would you surrender the important committee chairman ship! now held by Senators McNary, Smoot, Borah, Johnson, Jones, War ren and Oddic, all Western men? Would you repudiate tho politics of President Coolidgc? The fight for the U. S. Senator ship is between the democratic nomi nee and Fredrick Steiwer, repub lican. No Independent has ever been elected to the U. S. Senate. If you believe in the direct prim ary If you want the West to retain its power in national affairs by rea son of republican control of the senate if you believe in the policies of Calvin Coolidge ' Vote 15 X Steiwer, Frederick Firemen Re-Elect All Present Officers Banquet Tendered Fireman Enjoyed by Mora Than Sixty Mem bers and Frlandt Tuesday night' witnessed the end of the your for tho Maupin Volun teer Fire department, and to make the event memorable tho wives of tho members tendered their better halves a banquet, serving same in the basement dining room of the Legion hall Nearly every member as well as many pu.it members of the department attended, many of them with their wives and other members of their families. At roll call tho firemen lined up and proceeded to the dining room. There they were given plates and, passing before the serving table the receptacles were loaded with viands seldom served at such a function. The tables were loaded with goodies, such as salndB, celery, pics and many other things that appeal to the ap petites of a hungry body like our firemen. At the conclusion of the banquet tho members adjourned to the dance hall and proceeded with the regular order of business. Routine matters were taken enre of, after which the annual election of officers was tak en up. Tho present officers F. C. Butler, president; R. K. Richmond, secretary j L. C.

The list of what they could do is a very long one. tn fact the print ed document, as contained in the voters' pamphlet, says they shall le empowered "to do all things neces sary or convenient" for the amend ment. These are a few of the things they may do: . Establish irrigation works. Condemn present Irrigation sys tems. Control all waters of the state not under government supervisor Buy, sell, lease, construct, oper ate irrigation works, acquire land, build railroads, manufacture and needful thing, as it may be required in the judgement of the board. Take over established water works. Condemn and acquire existing electric power plants. Reserve the waters of the state from private or other public use. Exercise In the name of the state the power of eminent domain for ac quiring any property the board may consider needful for its use. Issue bonds up to 6 per cent of the total assessed valuation of property In Oregon. Issue utility . certificate! against planta - after construction, which would be in effect mortgages. Restrict the amount of water used by regular non-political concerns to 20 per cent of the total flows of streams in Oregon. Besides all these things the board could establish stores, factories, rail roads; or any line of business , It chooses to enter. ,, . :, The measure threatens established Industries in many lines. It places authority in the board greater than has yet been delegated to any state commission. This without restraint of the governor, the legislature, or any state function of control. Tho tecall is the only remedy provided'. The only limit is the 6 per cent bond ing clause. In spending the peoples' money the only curb is that provid ing for the voters' approval on pur chase of existing plants valued at over half a million dollars. ' Is tho state ready t' commit fifty three million dollars into the hands of a board of novices to spend on an experimental system of - irrigation, hydro-electrics andj manufacturing ventures, without the slightest as surance of wise an 1 sucessful man agement?

Metschan, chairman of the republican state central committee. He urged re publicans of the state to consolidate their forces and support the adminis tration. A vote for the party nomi nees, he said, was a vote cast in sup port of the state's primary law. The election of a democrat senator from Oregon, would not only be a slap at the president and the nation al administration, but it might give the democratic party the slight ma jority needed to organize the senate and thus deprive western republi can senators of their dominant posi tions in that body. He said: "The sovereign people of Oregon will vote next Tuesday whether they will uphold President Collidge and the republican administration by giving them a vote of confidence or they will turn their backs upon them and support the party that has al ways brought disaster to our na tional prosperity and distress ' the primary law of the state or they will by their decision, regard it merely as a scrap of paper.

"Voters of Oregon have an im portant decision before them next Tuesday. It is whether this strongly republican state shall be deluded by democratic propaganda and lose substantial things while it grasps at shadows. "I have faith in the people of Ore gon.

Tha The proposed measure to increase taes on tabacco and articles made of the seductive weed is one which, if passed, will effect the pocketbook of every tobacco user in Oregon. The tax is paid once to the federal government and now comes a bevy of money grabbers who seek to add to the revenue once exacted. If the tax is voted all us smokers, chewers and snoozers will be compelled to pay the' additional price, for it is a well known fact that the consumer pays the tax.

I can not believe, any more than the peo ple believe, that a delegation di vided is stronger than one united. I expect the good sense of the voters of the state to declare itself on that proposition. "I Expect Steiwer, republican nominee for United States senator, to win by a substantial purality. Patterson, for governor, will be elected by an overwhelming vote.

Would Rob Oregon of Her Fish and Game Political Measure Sacks to Take 10 of Licansa Faas From Tha Cam a Treasury 1. The bill (H. B. 602) which takes 10 of the game fund each year for its use in paying general ex penses of the state, was passed by the 1925 legislature under the lash of Governor Pierce on the pretext that an error had been made in af fixing the amount of tax levy for the biennum 1925-26 (an error for which he, himself, was in part re sponsible), and the amount to be raised by taxation would not meet the needs of the state by upwards of a million dollars and it was claim ed that the only alternative in order to avoid bankruptcy, was to require the self supporting boards and com missions to contribute a part of their receipts. It was admitted by all the legislature that it was unfair and unjust but the state's extremity seemed to require it When the referendum ' was re voked it automatically stopped the state from collecting its 10 from the game fund or any of the other funds involved, and it cannot collect until after November 2 ' and then, only from that'date" on. Since the passage of that bill by the legisla- ture, events have proved that it was a false alarm and that the state did not need tha money. It has func tioned in the usual manner and with out deficit up to date'.' '" 2. No tax money has ever gone I into the game fund."

The sportmen not only are sav- j for this act of philanthropy. 4. Thousands of persons who never fish or hunt, annually contri bute to the game fund with the un derstanding that their money shall be used only in the propagation of game and game fish. It is a breach of trust to take any part of their money for the payment of other state expenses. . ' ' 5. To maintain the state's game resources on a plane commensurate with its reputation as a game state requires all the funds that can be raised by the present methods, and more.

To allow this bill to become a law would establish a very dangerous precedent. The next legislature would ask for 25 of our funds and soon they would be passing the bill championed by Governor Pierce when he was a member of the Senate taking all of the game fund. 0 If 'the sportsmen of this state are ever going to make their influence felt on the side of right and justice, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT This measure will apear on the bal lot November 2, under the title : .

' I. La Patterson FOR GOVERNOR The republican party of Oregon is fortunate in having Mr. Patterson as its candidate for Governor. , Success ful, business man and farmer he is equipped to meet and solve the prob lem! that will confront him as Gov ernor. Economy, he has practiced in private life; economy he will prac tice as Oregon's, chief executive. " The only real pre-election promise Mr. Patterson is making is that he will not follow established precedent and spend the people's time and money traveling about the state making speeches.

Chief to Visit Wool Growers Coma In Interest of Co-operative Marketing of Wool and Other Farm Products "Chris L. Christensen, head of the newly established division of co operative marketing of the United States Department of Agriculture, will visit the Pacific Wool Growers in Portland, about October 31st, it is announced by Edgar L. Ludwick, assistant manager' of that organiza tion. ' j "Mr. Christensen is making a field trip over the United States studying ithe various cooperative marketing associations that handle farm pro ducts," says Mk Ludwick. The du ties of the division of cooperative marketing, which was created at the last session of congress to aid American agriculture, include the study of present cooperative associa tions, the publishing of facts about them, education in cooperative mar keting principles and " practices, as sistance to groups of farmers desir ing to form cooperative marketing associations, and the furthering cf the cooperative marketing movement in general. This work can be com pared to the assistance given busi ness institutions in the United States by the Department of Commerce through its foreign trade committees etc." "In going over the affairs of the. Pacific Cooperative Wool Growers, Mr. Christensen is inspecting the largest wool marketng organization in the United States operating on a cooperative, orderly marketing plan, and one of the most successful co operatives in the west." Boundry Board. Meeting , The county 'bounday board will hold a meeting in the county court room at The Dalles on Wednesday next at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of acting on the petition recently sub mitted to that body looking to the setting aside of a new school dis trict, taking its territory from the Maupin district, No. 84. This is the result of the agitation which has occupied the attention of patrons of this district and which caused more or less hard feeling.
