ORE., SEPT. 4, .1914 Tbe Press does not believe the mere Dittanoe Eastern Oregou is asking (or tbe maintenaane of their Normal sohool, oo tbe tuillage basis, oao pos sibly find objection or opposition i the minds ol those who for joHt reason are opposed to present high taxes. Th fact that tbe school oao be conducted satisfactorily el a cost to tbe taxpayer of 2 1-2 cents on eaob f 1,000 of bis taxable properly, should in itself die pel any opposition from this stand point. The need of Vraotioal normal training for sohool instructors is shown in the soooess of teaobeis who have had this training met those who have not enquired it. Ueogiopbically Daetern Oregon is entitled to a Nor Dial sohool, and only for the fact that the educational institutions , of tbe state have been too tod from pillar to post at tbe fcehest of politioians, hers would not be dismantled and vacant, monument to little politics, trickery ' and logrolling. On a millage basis this school oan be reanrieoted, resoned from politics and placed npon a plane i f inestimable benefit to the lone an daughters of Eastern Oregon, who are now compelled to forego borne eduoa tional pride and pay tribute to tb upbuilding of tbe Normal schools of Idaho and Washington. If there any jnstioe in this, show us. Apparently England realizes that tbe worst is yet to come, Business men were called npon to enlist io the uimy. The response was immediate.

The data of '48 will be nabered in and out with a whoop; whereas the evi dences of frugality and thrift died last fall in whisper, for want of in lei out and pationnge.

Of oonrse the people eleoted htin to repteseut tbem, and tbat be did so oonsiitently and capably is shown by the splendid record the Oregonian pub lished in its Sunday edition. Tbe publication of it, however, was made by tbe Portland paper far nlterior par poses, tut la ibis it failed utterly.

"See A. M. JOHNSON about it." The Tum-a-Lum Lumber Company ATCH THIS PAPER FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITION Here is the exact issue that confronts you . The prohibitionists ask you to adopt an amend ment to the State Constitution to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, except. for medical, mechanical and sacra mental uses. The adoption of this amendment means the entire wiping out of the present splendid home rule and local option laws. . Thereafter the regulation and control of the liquor traffic in Oregon would pass front cities and towns and be retained exclusively by the state. Note carefully there is no mention of prohibiting "dittribu tion," 'transportation" or "tree" of alcoholic beverages. Only of manufacture and tale. Dintritmtion, trwupor tation and use intentionally were left out by the prohibi- lionisls. Shipment of liquors into the state, or through the stale, or drinking of liquors within the state would not be prohibited by the amendment Washington, Idaho and California naturally would immedi ately begin shipping liquor Into Oregon and throughout Oregon. The saloon,, where it now exists, would merely have given away to the "blind pigger," "bootlegger" and "moonshiner.'1 All cities and towns now either wet or dry would be at the mercy of the ttate police authorities ' and ttate law makers. Present "dry" cities and towns would realize that they had come nearer to voting themselves "wet" than they now are under the splendid home rule and local option laws. . ' If the slate authorities were derelict or failed to enforce the law, as they are in Kansas and Maine, the cities and towns would realize that they had voted away their present direct control and regulation of the liquor traffic. These articles ' . will show later that Kansas and Maine authorities are derelict and do fail to enforce the law. To undo the mistake Oregon would have to repeal a constitutional amendment and not a mere law a very difficult undertaking. Deceit and per-' . jury in securing liquor illegally would have been substituted ' - for what today is a steadily improving, healthier public opinion regarding rrtie temperance, and true temperance would have been done an irreparable injury requiring many years to recover from. v Kansas Is pointed to by prohibitlonisti as the model prohibi tion state. They want Oregon to become a Kansas. Watch - these articles with a fair, open mind and learn what thirty three years of prohibition law has done for Kansas without prohibiting or advancing true temperance. All figures will be taken from latest United States Government Reports N. B. Prohibitionists are spreading the opinion that. If the proposed amendment is defeated, the present dry towns and cities will become wet again. This POSITIVFXY IS NOT SO. The present home rule and local option laws would remain just as they bow are. j VOTE 333 X NO I AGAINST PROHIBITION H fali 'AdveniMSMas Taxparm aad Wa Earaen' Xcaitte, Potttud, Onto fj Neatest Job Work at the Press Office
