Would you repudiate tho politics of

The fight for the U. S. Senator

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.

Ramifications of the j
Housewives' Measure
Oref aniens Have Passed Experl
mantal 3te Want No Mora
Bonded Dabt
Many Willamette valley farmers
and business men have expressed dis
approval of the proposed ' constitu
tional amendment initiated by the
Housewives' Council of Portland, be
cause of the almost unlimited powers
It would confer on the board of five
members, one woman, and four men,
named in the text of the measure,
none of whom has experience in con
structlon, operation or management
of the utilities which the amendn.cnt
proposes.'
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

Pamphlet, Then Act
Claims of a sweeping republican
victory for the republican ticket in
the coming election were made at
Portland today by Phil. 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. They will main
tain it by voting for candidates nom
inated in accord with the law or they
will nullify it by following the will

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 sportsmen
of the state are maintaining its
J game resources without the cost of
j dollar to the payers. They are
! "-ln to
: share of the taxes for most of them
are tax-payers also!
o tu '
3. 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 impair this fund would
seriously curtail the present con
structive program and would cost
ihi afnta iifl rmiutatinn fla a tnnptc.
,nian,8 pwadfae Wch brought huR.

millions cf dollars of froeign money
into the state,
6. 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 : .
