Thero are nine constitutional amendments and measures to bo placed on the ballot for tho Novcm ber election. Two of these are being referred from tho legislative, tho other 'seven are proposed by initia tive petition. The referendum items are unim portant so far as we. In Eastern Ore gon, are concerned. They are en abling acts permitting in the first in stance a tax levy in Linn .county to pay outstanding warrants for which no funds are available, and secondly, to permit Linp and Denton counties to issue, bonds; to raise funds for pay ment of delinquent warrants. Proposed by initiative are five con stitutional amendments and two bills. The proposed amendments Include our old Oregon bogy, the single tax, a salmon fishing and propagation amendment', the 1925 exposition tax amendment for Portland, an income tax amendment and the interest rate amendment. Two bills would' provide for com pulsory education in public schools and for a state .income tax, if they are passed. It is hardly' necessary to comment on the single tax matter. An attempt to put it. thrqugh in Oregon bobs up at every .general election. It Is a freakish, ' wholly vlsfdnary and un sound th'eory of land' taxation, con fiscatory in character,, which provides In the main that the rental value of the land shall be taken, each year in. taxes to maintain the government. The salmon fishine'ljd propaga tion amendment, if enacted, would be an attack 'on an Oregon institution and one of its most profitable lines of business. In short, it would ren-l . . .. . .', . . i precinct, before a board whose chair der unlawful the taking of salmon! . . ,, , , . , I ...n. b.iiiiu.f(im1 Till!

The section In regard to propaga tion provides"that 50 per cent of the spawn prop'a'gated in the state hatch eries shall be1 planted in the stream from which It 'is taken, not less than SO miles .from the mouth, except where thereis a' dam or falls at a less distanced whbn the spawn shall be pianted'as"near as' practical to the falls. Thus, fish propagated at Bonneville from spawn .taken in Eagle creek would have, to be transported up In the mountains back of Wahtum lake. The products of hatcheries on the tributaries of the Willamette would have to. bo transported to-, and dumped into the river at Oregon City, below the falls. The measure Is designed as a slap at the salmon packers of the state, and Carl D. Shoemaker, master fish warden of Oregon, in the voters' pam phlet, declares that proponents of the petition offered to ..be "bought off" for $10.000 - The 1925 exposition tax for Port land shduid bo 'passed to far 'as the up-etate Is concerned. Portland wants the 1920 exposition and is willing to stand the expense, A state enabling act is necessary to permit the vote being, taken. It will cost us nothing. although Portland wants to raise $3,000,0001 . The income tax, amendment gives the intelligent voter a, problem. It has. the' laudatory purpose of provid ing relief to ,the over-taxed property owner by poising 50 per cent of the expense for the stato through an as sessment on Incomes. In general Its form follow closely that of the fed eral Incojne tax law. Tho affirmative argument la .tho pamphlet contains the. following amendment: "It is a legitimate, fair means of raising necessary taxes without un justly penalizing any class of citizens, or having a tendency to drive from Oregon the capital so much needed for tho .statea .department." The Interest rate amendment Is another freak that should be turned down. It fixes tho legal rate at C per cent, or 7 per, cent,, under contract. Such, anrblfrary plan of price fixing In, tho ,mft.'tter at selling money would havtvouly .the, effect, of stifling every line of business, taking' tremendous din'ouutsuot cnpl(ttii!outsOfil5rti..tntC.

It is regrettable that the great est newspaper editor Oregon ever had, could not be here today to clear the political atmosphere with the thunder of his wrath. For of all tho fool political per formances this state has over wit nessed, the opera bo u tie staged around Charles Hall of Marshfleld as the bright, particular star, is incom parably the worst. What an unspeakable farce! Dis regarding the serious charges of in jecting religious and racial prejudices into the politics of a state, where such considerations have no place, merely on the basis of ordinary fair play and good sportsmanship, the Hall forces have earned the disgust and contempt of every fair minded man and woman In the state. Hall was beaten fairly and squarely in the primary. Every other defeated candidate took his medicine like a man, and In the-ordinary course of events congratulated the winner. Hall; sulked In bis tent. He not only sulked, but he proceeded to bring charges of corruption and crooked ness against the Olcott forces, and gathering the shekels from the hard pressed citizens of the Invisible Em pire, demanded a recount "to protect the sanctity of the ballot." Sanctity Is good. The recount not only failed to substantiate a single charge brought by Hall, but revealed the startling fact that in n .Multnomah . , cott had been thrown out, and Hall was given a majority he did not have. And then, what does our champion of the sacred ballot box do? He drops the recount entirely, the re count he had demanded, and -which was financed with other people's money, and falls back upon so mo Ir relevant and absurd nonsense about the people of Oregon demanding a protestant governor, paving the way for him to enter the lists as an inde pendent, with two protestapt candi dates opposing him. Drops the recount! Just ponder over that. Drops the recount when that recount produces evidence nnd Justifies the suspicion that if there was any crookedness In the primary. it was crookedness that injured his successful opponent and Injured him self. We frankly admit we have no vo cabulary to fit a situation like that. In fact, the entire despicable business Is simply beyond the range of sanity or common sense. It could be laughed out of court. If it were not essentially so serious. Serious because If public opinion in this state were not so qui escent, so dispirited, so indifferent to political Impositions, such a spectacle could never have gotten beypnd the first, act. Hall will probably run nnd will probably get several thousand votes. Once more we express regret that the "greatest Roman of them all" and one of the greatest friends Oregon ever bad, could not be here to see it, OUGHT TO WORK TOGETHER In the past few weeks the people of the' state hdvo had the interesting opportunity of watching a committee from Eastern Oregon traveling through tho western section seeking support for tho Union Pacific railroad plans, and a representative of the western communities appearing In tho cast-of-the-mountnln towns ask ing that the Southern Pacific bo aided In Its contest for the Central. Each sldo of the mountains has its own railroad hopes and plans and each wants tho support of tho other. Each makes an effort to prove to the other that Its own plan, concolved chiefly In its own Interest, Is also best for tho other nnd neither succeedH. It la an entertaining alfalr. Messrs. Doolittle and McCultoch on tho 'one hand and Mr. Millor on the other, each trying to VrsuMlo Uuf comi munltlcs they visit that their interest la different from what tho communi ties have already determined It ls Under such circumstances it Is hnrdi ly to bo expected that cither will gat anywhere. ' It Is unfortunate, howovor, that neither is getting anywhere. Possibly tho Interests of each nro so com pletely opposed that they cannot agree on a common plan. On llio other hand, It may bo that in confer ence nnd discussion some scheme may ba worked out that will lio ad vantageous to both, nud this Is so much to bu desired that nn effurt should bo in ml o to bring It about. If tho two sides of tho slate go Into tho railroad cumpalgn, each seeking n dif ferent end, one Is bound to bo disap pointed In tho result. If they can work to n common end, thoy will shnro tho result whatever It may bo nnd thoy will bo moro likely to assure success, KILLING MEN FOR DEER Alone with yesterday's reports of tho first deor killed by local hunters havo come the stories of tho first hunters killed and wounded by their companions. It sooms to bo tho In evitable accompaniment of tho doer season this killing of human be lugs; every fall thero are warnings issued and care urged, and every full hunters nro mistaken for deor and shot. Fortunately, on this sldo of the mountains this sort of thing rarely happens, presumably becauso of the moro open nature of tho country which Is hunted over. In this wo find another causo for congratulation that our timber Is open nnd that there is little or no underbrush. At the pa mo tlmo local hunters should continue to exercise os mnch- care ns though they wero In tho thickets of the western slope. It Is bettor that no gumo be killed than to kill a man. Of course, there Is absolutely no excuse for man-kllllng. Tho law for bids killing any other deer than a buck with horns; the hunter that Is sure that ho Is firing nt a buck with horns knows he Is not firing nt a man. Although thero Is no excuse, no hunter ever suffers any legnl penalty for his act In killing another. Wo do not remember ever henrlng that one was oven Indicted. Some punishment should be Inflicted, however, and wo ngaln suggest that tho denial of a hunter's license to such an offender either' permanently or for a term of years -would go a long way toward making men more careful. Again the thanks of the commun ity are due for an attractive and suc cessful flower' show, Begun by the Ladles' Library club, the. show has been carried on by tho Civic lengue In a manner equal to the best tradi tions of the past. There Is a lot of work connected with tho show; all that the public sees Is over In a fow hours. What Is seen, however, shows what can be done here by those who care for flowers, and the more, there Is done the more attractive our town Is made. By creating nn interst In flower growing and by giving such an exhibition as that of yesterday, the Civic leaguo Is living up to the Impli cations of Its name. We are glad to hear that the Com mercial club is going after tho Pcnn' sylvanla railroad to get Bend put on the map. At the same time we feel that In Justice to the road we should report that friends have assured us that both Star and Dlsston do exist. They are on a decrepit line running east from Cottage Grove and may bo discovered In the Oregon map In 1922 aWasses. We read In the Portland Telegram that from one to two million acres of land In Oregon "are capable of irrigation." Land that Is "capable of Irrigation" Is very capable, Indeed. .Our agricultural college Is con tinually producing new wonders, In a recent bulletin from the college we read that a lecture bore fruit.

Pioneers and Pioneer Life In Bend and Cenlral Oregon (Two weeks ago tho story of a brief visit to Control Oregon hi 1808. told by (leorgu Dnrnos, wns reprinted In this dopnrtuont from tho l'rlno vlllo News, In which It appeared In 1S87, Tho account ended with llarnos' return to tho Willamette val ley, after his party hud lost thotr oiitlro stock of provisions lo the Indians. Tho story Is resumed in this Ismiu, with an account of tho sot tlomont made that summer, nud of how tho pioneers passed the follow ing winter. Humorous as well us pa thetic Incidents wore froquuul In this community, as may bo seen from Ilnrnus' recollections. Tho M. V. & t'. M. road company, mentioned by llarnos. will bo discussed In it later article.) That s li in m o r James McKay brought out a band of cattle, and E. llarnos, Vu Johnson nnd W. II. Marks each had n small baud of shcop. These wore tho first stock brought hero, and I havo n painful recollec tion that the sheep had tho doubtful honor of having tho first ensu of scab In tho settlement, though at that tlmo wo did not know what It was, Wo thought It was tho mango, tho same disease Hint tho hogs havo In the Wllhimetto valley, nnd wo lost nil our wool and nearly nil our shcop before wo learned what ailed them. Greas ing the measly things with n bacon rind did not euro thorn, and some of us retired from tho buslnosi In din gust. Why, tho scab Is a unlive of (his section, I havo seen tho coyotes per fectly naked with It; the rim rocks had It; tho sngu brush had It; It was In the grass, In tho rocks, In tho air. nnd our sheep caught It and caught It bad. During tho winter of 1S6S tho Vln Ing cabin was occupied by M. II, Fry, later of Albany, whoso chief ambi tion ,was to got up a race between a thoroughbred greyhound ho brought out with him, and one ot thu fleet footed mule bucks that wero then so numerous on our valleys and plains. But before ho succeeded In this de sire, ho ninilo tho grand mistake of turning his slim wnlsted, long legged racer loose after a mangy coyote that looked fully as hungry as his dog. There was nn exciting race for a quarter of n mile, and the greyhound overtook the coyote, who then nnd there proceeded to give it tho worst whipping a high bred town dog over got. Tlipn thi.ro unn nttntlirr rtllnrfir race back to whore Fry stood In np-n astonishment, they greyhound In the lend but tho coyote a good second, nnd every fow Jumps ho would nip a ploco out of tho fleeing dog's hams. That rac; rulncij tho dog for a hunt er, for' from that day on Fry could not Induce It to chase u Jackrubhlt, and thu howl of u coyote drove It under tho bed. After that it pined away and died. That winter was n busy ono for nil of us; making rails, boards, hew ing house logs and, surprising as it may seem, I was inveigled' Into ac cepting the position of pitman In a whip-saw mill, where wo snwed lum ber for the floors of our cabins, nt tho rate of 50 feet a day, working If, hours. Sundays wo washed and patched our clothes, and right hero I want to say that along townrd spring our wardrobes got to bo very threadbare; we thought we had came with clothes enough for a year, but three months' ranting around ovor the rimrock nnd through the Juniper trees after the mule deer had left us barefooted and naked. There wero no stores thnt we could possibly reach where we could obtain a new supply, and toward spring we were tho' naked est lot of white men In Oregon. The makeshifts we used to hide our skins from the biting wind wo didn't euro a cent for tho public gaze was but another illustration that "necessity" is the mother of Inven tion," Newt. Bostwlck capped the climax In the footwear line by soling a pair of moccasins with a piece of bacon rind. We all wore mocassins, and before spring buckskin breeches and shirts. Once u week the settlors on tho lower Ochoco would meet, first at ono cabin and then another, turn about, and havo a debate. Even nt that early dote the W. V. & C. M. road company's .claim to the lands In this section was questioned, for wn often had the company nnd its "road" as tho subject of dubato. Many wero tho eloquant denuncia tions of their staking out old Indian trulls and calling thorn "wagon roads," but llttlo did wo draam that theso sumo old Indian trails would become, by tho venality of two of Oregon's governors, u "military wa gon road," or that tho Improvements on with somn of tho Bottlers wore working so hard that wlntor would bo taken from thorn and bo gvon to tlils company, or 'porhaps our speeches might havo rung with ovon moro hitter denunciation than they did. , ' Tho foro part of tho winter tho youlig'peoplo had HQvera), ',(huBslnj; boos" nud dances. Along toward spring wo lot up on thorn; In fact, wo got skittish of tho girls.

II wits told of "HIM," tho governor's ohlosl boy, i that hu was mairli'd on tho strength of his being u'son of tho governor of Canada; tho girl had never hoard of the forks or soon tho "governor." If ho could got enough to oat anil plenty of tobacco, ho did not euro If ho was rugged or dirty. Ho was always happy, and during our rugged period Iho governor was In his element. Ho shaved once a week with a hutchur knife, and stood ready to buck hit "mar" against any horse In tho coun try for 15 buck hides. Jim nud A. II. Marks. Undo llu ford's boys, wore born hunters, and this country was to them nil thut could bo desired.
