OREGON WEATHER Tonight and Saturday (air; cooler Interior and northwest portions tonight; westerly winds GRANTS PASS Sl'GAR. Grants Pass sugar is no longer a dream it is a reality, and you can soon order It at the market and use it in your coffee at the breakfast table. Here is a case where the dol lar is being kept at home. It goes to the beet (rower, the wood cutter, the quarryman who gets out the lime, and all the great multitude of labor ers who find emplowment in the Held and factory. The sugar beet can sup ply the payroll that has been needed to bring an element of prosperity into southern Oregon. Now let the cattle and the hogs that are a neces sary adjunct to the factory be pro duced, and the dollar will jingle mer rily in the land. The sugar beet means more profit for the dairyman, the producer of beef and of pork, and a gradual building up of thous ands of acres of exhausted soil. PUBLIC SCHOOLS WOULD SUFFER i I "If this amendment should be adopted," says Henry E. Reed, as sessor of Multnomah county, "mort gages secured by land will not be i Worth the paper on which they are ; written." The amendment referred 1 to Is the "Full Rental Value Land : Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund I Amendment," the radical single tax' measure on the November ballot. ' j "One of the principal sufferers In this regard will be the common school j fund of Oregon, which has $6,200, 000, or more than 97 per cent of its principal, loaned on first mortgages on land. "The common school fund has j played a noble part In the upbuilding , and support of Oregon's splendid public school system. In lees than i 40 years it has earned in interest up wards of $6,70,000, which has been apportioned to the counties for the support of the schools. "The impairment of this fund will seriously affect public education in Oregon to the extent of a revenue now approximately $400,000 a year. The mortgagors will not pay their debts. They will say to the state: I 'You now have the total value of the land. You keep the land and we will keep your money, pay you a ground rent tax, and borrow as much as you will let us on our land Improve ments.' " Oregon still owns B24.000 aires of; school land. The single tax hill, as drawn by W. S. U'Ren to force all land out of Its present owners' hands and Into state ownership, specifically , provides that the state shall sell no i land. The measure would halt not 1 only the progress of education hut also the physical development of the ' state. , The single tax 1)111, now named the 1 "Full Rental Value Land Tax and HomeinakerH' Loan Fund Amend ment," Is the first Initiative measure on the ballot. There Ir no doubt about u drift of sentiment toward Charles Evans Hughes for president, Ills election . will mean the re-establishment of the American nui Ion In the respect or the nations of the world.

Congressman Hawley, who has re cently returned from the national capital and from points iu the oast, Is most optimistic over the political situation. He says that throughout all the eastern states Hughes senti ment is strongly predominant ami that In New York, where Hughes was recognized as the governor of the common people while he was in the office of the chief executive, there will be nothing but Hughes on election day. Every box of apples shipped from the Rogue River valley will be worth 30 or 40 cents more when It can be loaded on ship board at the coast via the Grants Pass-Crescent City rail road. Then the fruit that wrecked the hopes of the first settlers of the To the Voters of Josephine County : V- ,v - ( The platf'onn upon which I solicit your vote on November 7th for the office of representative from this county is the same as that upon which I sought the republican nomination. Tt is the platform of economy in state expenditures, for it is through economy in legislative appropriations that we can hope for reduced tax levies. As an owner of and tax payer upon both country and town property within the county F can appreciate the burden that has been placed upon the tax-paying public, and pledge myself to support measures that are aimed toward a more economical administration of the affairs of the state of Oregon. A residence of 21 years in Josephine county, and a familiarity with its business conditions during all of that time, places me in a position to know the needs of the various interests, of the miner, the lumberman, the farmer and the fruitgrower, the fisherman and the business man, and my first interest, as a legislator will be to faithfully represent their interests and to serve them to the best of my ability. I have no great legislative reforms to advance, but stinid for economy, for fewer laws, and a consoli dation of boards and commissions. a. i-:. voouiiikn. ll'iild AdwrtlseiMiM1 i 'V , f( "to I Canton of Kdeu will find cheap trans I portation through the Panama canal, i and the grower will realise, the sav j Ins; as added profit.

NORTHWEST WHEAT AT RECORD PRICK TODAY Portland, Oct. 27. Wheat sold In the northwest today at the highest prices in the history of this section. Spot wheat was two to six cents higher. Bluestem sold for $1.60 on the Portland market. In the coun try districts sales of bliteatem were made at $1.64 per bushel. Portland delivery. The hlsh prices are due to the un usual demand from middle western and Kentucky millers. OF ALLIED FORCES llerllit, Oct. 37. Fleeing Russo Roumanian forces are evacuating practically all of Dohrudju, said an otllclnt statement from the Unitarian war oitleo today, "On the whole front the enemy la retreating precipitately toward Tul cea, Bra I In and llnrsova, pursued by our forces," said the statement Issued at Sofia. "Wednesday's captures In cluded 15 officers. 771 men and 18 imiclilue guns." (Tuleea lies 70 miles north of Constanta, on the southern arm of the Danube, and a few miles from the Russian frontier. Uralla lies about 70 miles north of Cernavoda. on the Danube, and llarsova about miles northwest of Cernavoda, on the Dan ube.! King Ferdlnauil dispatched person al appeals to the rulers of allied na tions to save ttoumanla from disaster after the fall of Constanta, accord ing lv Pctrograd dispatches. The messates were sent following a stormy session of the Koumanlan cab- Inet. Koumanlan military leaders I were said to huve been harshly cri ticised by several of the ministers, but supported by the klliR. who de clared the Roumanian defeat was due to the fact that Russia had failed to supply the artillery and munitions she had promised. German military men expect an early demonstration by the allies, probably on the Italian and Mace-1 donlan fronts, lu response to Klnit .. . ,, ,.,' Ferdinand's appeal. Ilocause of the, silled armies' lack of sufficient muni tions for ureal offensives on these fronts, the attacks are expected to be short lived, and directed largely for the purpose of encouriiiilnn the disheartened Roumanian.
