REFERENDUM IS DEMANDED For the Purpose of Killing Three Obnoxious Lews. Grants Pass, April SGV To the Kditor : Through the columns of your valuable paper, I wish particularly to call the attention of members of fraternal ordcra and working men of your city to the effort now being made at the instance ot Southern and Eastern Oregon mining and mercantile men to repeal, through the referendum of the people, three bad laws passed at the last session ol the state legislature. One is the Portage liailvray bill which Ukes (105,000 of the people's money for nothing; another known as the Eddy, or Corporation Capital Slock Tax liill, and house bill No. 202 which repeals the present pro vision of your tax law giving the poor man exemption from taxation and exe ecutton on $300 of his tools and house hold goods. Theje last two wore passed to cinch certain classes of the public lot extra taxes to meet the requirement t of the first mentioned bill. Look into this question carefully. See my letter in the Oregon mil of the 21th on pan 15, which explains the situation more in detail. I came down on the train today with L. it. Heeder of Pendleton, Graud Sachem of Red Men of Oregon, who was speaker of the house of representatives to Salem two years ag . Mr. Reudur told uio that be was personally aware ol the political jobbery which passd these three bills at the last legislature. He said: "Pulitius in Oregon today is simply a ecramble for federal ollice. We would be much better off if the legislature met only once every 10 years. I am familiar with some of the jobs put up by the last legislature by which Ueer was thrown down for the United States senator iiiai nut tho expressed wish of the people at the last election under the constitu tional amendment; Moody was called back from Washington, after having done more for the state than any repre sentative we ever had there, with the possible exception of Tongue ; and which gave us the Portage Railway, Corpor ation Capital Stock Tax bills, and took from the poor man his right of exemp tion from taxes and execution on his tools and household goods. It was a political trade, pure audaimple, without regard to the interests of the people." "I; am a member of the Order oi Eagles and have been in several other fraternal orders and make a direct ap peal to Eagles, Elks, Redmen, Masons, Knights of I'ytbias, Workmen and all other orders, to look iuto this matter closely. We are acquiring consideiable property throughout the state, and it it mostly held under a corporation of the ordor. Krom now on, we will have to pay these taxes. Moat of us are work ing men und have a right to fomo pro tection by exemption. Gentlemen, why should We be taxed to death and allow the politician to throw our money away on portage railways at the Dalles lor which there is no more necessity than for a fifth wheel to a wagon? The U. S. government at the last tension of con gress appropriated 4,000,000 to build a canal between the Dallea and Cecil. Every man who has had anything to do with transpetation, knows that this is the onlv true solution of Columbia river transportation. Emy engineer ttho has examined the ground knows that l';r,0o0 will not build one third of the proposed road; that it will take one, two or three more setsions of the legis lature to provide sulli -icnt funds to com plete the road, to say nothing of piovis ion for its equipuiDut and operation Ily the time the road is put into shape to operate, the government canal will have been lliiinhed. In the meantime, to construct the road would only liauiptr the operation of the goveumeiit und cause uuecessary delay iu the building of the canal. If there is no use for the portage road, then there is no necessity of Hair tux ing all iuiorporated enterprises of the stale, and imposing the hardship on the Diking men as it now standi in Holl-u Hid No. L"i-'. I hen is no state in the Union or a European cuunlry that don not give the woikingmen uomu protcc tion auinst taxation and execution. DO NOT l'OlttiET that the signing of these petitions makes all three hills inoKTative until the people have a chance to vote Usin them at the general election in June 1001, or, practically speaking, we esrspe two years, taxes ALSO REM EM I! KR that the signing of these petitions d "i not obligate your vote in lif'.'l, but enough signers now sill give mI plenty of time to consider these laws. Already in Southern Oregon they ate assessing the working men under (hit new law House Hill No. T.H. Then lul us sign these referendum petitions it can do no one haini and when we go to the polls In Itnl, I think we will all be convinced Dial our gener al interest demands the repeal of these hills. It is up to the ople Uiasierl their rights." W. C. Cowoii.i. A SEEDLESS WATERMELON If Receipt Don't Work Mr. Peake Will C&t Ilia He&d. S. P. Pcako, writing to tho St. Louis Gli lie-Democrat from Rose n dale, Minn., says: "Will you please say these few words for ine about se--dless watermelons to Mr. Tommie Williums: 'After the vine has run a. r about tight inches long, cover the runners with dirt and keep wet until it lias taken root; then cut it off from the Tine. I sure it bus good roots first, and keep all buds piii'-ln d off the runner till it is cut from the vine. If this don't make seedless ui -lous I'll eat my head.' " Pit ye le Rejiaits at Cramer liroa. MONEY THROWN AWAY Will Be if $165,000 Goes Into Pottage R..llwe.y. Portland, April 24. ' (To the Editoi) I have noticed with a great deal of interest the able articles recently published in your columns by W. C.Cowgill of Baker City, upon the subjects for referendum to the people at the next gsneral election of the laws passed last legislature appropriating money of the people to build a Portage railroad at the Dallea imposing a pro rata capital stock tax on every form of incorporated business in the state, striking particularly at those who are endeavoring to develop our wondoitul natural resources in minerals and the law which takes away from the poor man and laborer his right of exemption under present statutes from taxatioa snd execution o(;i90 worth ot bis tools and household goods. I am especially struck by the injustice of that law which takes from us mining men $105,000.00" to build that much talked of portage road. Every business mau and every engineer who has ex amined the situation knows that it will take at least a ball million dollars to build the road and terminal docks, equip u for operation, to say nothing of a fund to ruu it from one legislature to another. As a business proposition it is absolutely silly. The question ot Columbia river transportation is one for the nationul government lo solve and it has already done so by appropriating (1,000,000 and ordering its engineers to begin work immediately upon a canal and locks between Celilo and the Dalles, which is the only true and feasible method of bringing about cheap water transportation, and which proposition the railroad company has already offered to assist the government in bringing to a successful issue. I am very glad to eue the iwtitioni for the referendum ot these matters being ciiculatad all oyer the city, and have assisteel In spreading the information as far as possible. 1 find that the work ingiuen and middle classes have awakened to the situation and are signing all ol these petitions. L. Y. Kkhdy. Any Voter May Sign. Portland, Ore., April 24, 1903. (To the Editor) At the request ol a number of business men and working men ol this city, I desire to say that any legal voter in Josephine county or anywhere in the slate can sign Hit referendum petitions now being circu lated, but as the county clerk must certify that he believes such signers to be voters it la always bmt to register before signing, if the signer is not already a registered voter. Tho petition for the referendum or the poitnuo railway corporation lax bill and exemption bill ran be bad ol any of the newspapers in this city and some of the leading citizens. All desiring lo sign the petition will phase do so as quickly as p isaible. W. C. C'oivuilL.

A corrcspondi nt from Sulern says: Sumo of the hopgrowers of this vicinity urn alarmed over the apjicar uiioe of a new strange pest which is said to be engaged ill deadly work up on the new vines.

All countries of the oiviliied world are represented at the first Alcohol Congress ever held in Germany, which began its sessions here this morning. The subjects to be discussed Include the abuses of alcohol, in its various forms, the suppression of the evil and the proposed forms of legislation against Its sale and nse. Prominent temperance advocates are present from America and all parts of Europe. The Burning Issue. The saloon is the most audacious lawbreaker of the age. The foes of the saloon must nulte against its friends. If the saloon is to be overthrown, the church mnst overthrow it The saloon can no more maintain respectability than a akunk can act as a salesman for a cologue factory. The man's hands are red with blood who stand aloof from the temper auoe cause. So said Gluts. O. Finney, years ago. Everything is not in the temper auco reform, bnt the temperance re form is in everything. So repeatedly said Francis E. Willard. Prohibitionists do not claim that prohibition Is the only issue. They do claim, however, tliat there is no other issue worthy of the votes of moral and Oristian men and patriots so loug as the saloon issue is un settled. There are men who seem to think that as a Christian church member they could not be justified in choos ing the least of two evils, but as citizens of the commonwealth thrj could be justified. When the devil gets the citixen, where will the church member be? Two hundred rattlesnakes running through thu town unmolested, bitlog everybody they come in contact with that's (roe ram. Put the 100 snakes in a box with 200 bolos iu It that's low license ; plug np 100 of the holua, and the snakes will all go out at the other 100 that's high . license ; drive the snakes all over into the adjoining county that's local option; oat off their tails Just behind their ears that's prohibition. Thus Ssxlth the Lord. Woe to him that baildeth a town with blood, and established) a oity by iniquity I Woe unto him that glvnth his neighbor drink, that potteth the bot tle to him, and makest him drunken also (Hub. 1:12, IS). But they have also erred through wine and through strong drink are out of the way. And your covenant with death shall be disaunullcd, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it (laa. 28:7,18.) For among my men are fonnd wicked men; they set a trap, they catch nieu. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horriblo thing is committed in tho land. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear role by their means; and my people love to have it so; and what will ye do in the end thereof (Jer. 5:2rt, 29, 80, 81.) If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn uuto death, and those that are ready to be slain ; ' If thou suyest, Behold, we knew it not; doih not He thai ponderetb the heart consider 1st And He that keepetli thy eon), doth not He know it? And he shall not render to every man according to his works? (Pro v. 21:11, 12). Don't wait till fall to swa vonr roof protected or yoa may get burned ont. s ...THE...

VISITS BY PRESIDENTS t Old Crania Pe.se Entertained President Hayes and Party. Theodore Roosevelt will be the third president ol the United States to honor Grants Pass by his presence. His visit here will probably be exceedingly brief, measured by the time it ukes the train to pass through town and the hour will be so lata that it is doubtful If the people will even get sight of him, The other two presidents were Harrison and Hayes. The train which bore Harrison stopped bere several minutes. The president appeared tot one brief Instant on the back platform, bowed to the outside air and went back. The people hurrying to the spot, for of course the train did not stop where it was expected to, caught a glimpse of the back ol bis bead as be returned to the car. Secretary Rusk and Russell B. Harrison saved the courtesy of the occasion and the good bumor of the people. ( Prssideut Hayes passed through old Grants Pass some time in the latter por tion of bis administration. At that time there was no railroad between Roseburg and Redding and the presi dential party traveled on ibis portion of their Journey by stage, though In a private coach. They took dinner at the stage station of Grants Pass, kept by E. Diuiraick. The people bad gathered from lar and near to see the president, and it was probably the largest gather ing that ever assembled at the station. A knot of 10 or a desen men were standing oat In Iront of the little store whsa the preiident, weary probably of the dust and Jolting of the coach, came walking along tbe road. He made him sell on ol tbe crowd in the most off baad and unassuming manner, entering easily into their conversstion, and making blmsell "at home'' in a pleasant and friendly manner, After dinner, an Informal reception was held In front of th house and the president and Mrs. II ay as met the people and shook hands in the presidential style. Mr. Hayes is ismsmbered by those who were there as an exceptionally pleasan, lady. In both ber and tbe president there v. as an entire absence ol anything approach ing pompousnsss or any air of superior ity. Titer acted and talked like real, ordinary, (very-day people. Tbey had oo assumed manner but were genuinely pleasant and Irisudly. Beware of Frauds.
