EVIDENCE FROM BURN'S In discussing tho Roosevelt bird refuco measuro wo havo pointed out hitherto that It Is n compromise be tween thq.proponents ot the bill and ' . 1 . t - TUla tno linrnoy county miemu. is brought out so clearly In a recent article In tho Orcgonlan that wo Quote from It. After describing meetings between those favoring and those opposing tho original bill, the artlclo proceeds: "Tho result of these meetings was tho present compromise bill, to which tho officers ot tho Roosevelt Bird Refuge association yielded. It was drawn up to safeguard tho land owning and Irrigation interests In Harney county. a3 specified by the Harney county delegation. "There was no disagreement as to tho great valuo of maintaining the bird reservation, as it is under gov ernment control, and the feeling was unanimous that it should never bo destroyed. In this measure ceding Jurisdiction over the waters ot the lake to tho government, is the ex plicit statement written in by the Harney county delegates to the ef fect that this is 'subject to existing water rights, filings and applications to user Impound or appropriate water niado In conformity with the watel- laws of the state of Oregon.' "After this final settlement construction and Interpretation Jiy tho supremo court. To got away from this ort of tiling tho measuro with the long name has been proposed.

"In the press ot the state at the time was an article that came from the Burns Commercial- club, saying that the Harney county people ef fected a compromise with the fram ers of the bill and are now friendly to the measure. "Taking into consideration the above facts, does It not seem to any fair-minded citizen that there Is no real conflict on the Roosevelt bird refuge measuro between those people who are seeking the legitimate and honest development of Harney coun ty and those who desire Malheur lake saved because of its present and fu ture valuo to Oregon, and because It is the greatest living memorial to Theodore Roosevelt?"

Now, having read and studied tho contrasting arguments, wj are thor oughly Interested and hope to seo the bill pass. According to present arrange ments, the Oregon legislature may stay In session as long as It wishes, but its members are paid for only 40 days' attendance. The result is that when the 40 days are up, the legislature adjourns, the inference being, It may bo remarked, that ourl lawmakers go. to Salem for tho $3 per day they receive for their service, and not because of any especial interest In making laws for the state. To finish, In this allotted time, there la always a Jam nt the last minute. Laws are passed without due consid eration. 'Job aro slipped In.

AUGUST NELSON 888 Bond Street "Capital and Industry-Keep Out" WOULD YOU, AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN OF OREGON, PLACE SUCH A SIGN ON THE BORDERS OF THIS STATE? This is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 314 and 315 on the November ballot entitled, "Con stitutional Amendment Fixing Legal Rate of Interest in Oregon." This measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Oregon to 5 per cent. You can, by law, fix the rate of interest in Oregon, but you cannot, by law, force the loaning of money in this state, when a much higher rate can be secured elsewhere. The passage of this measure would force the with drawal of the millions of foreign capital which is today loaned on factories, business and real estate in the state and send your local money owners out side of the state to better investments. Passage of this measure, would mean foreclosure of thousands of mort gages; would result in financial paralysis, and would mean widespread unem ployment. You no doubt, understand the viciousness of this measure, but have you talked to your neighbors and friends about it? We urge you to do everything you can to defeat this measure. Oregon's reputation as a sound state for in vestments requires that this measure be overwhelmingly defeated. VOTE 315 X NO AND URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO DO LIKEWISE. (Paid Adv.)
