UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION I Winning Favor Granges Nov took on this Matter In , Different Light. . It seems to be the general dis cussion all over the state as to whether Statement No.l and Initiative and Referendum are wise measures. The majoriry of the large city papers seem to. be against these provisions while the country press as a rule sup ports them. Some of tho provi sions passed by the Initiative are the direct primary law itself, the local option law and a law levy ing a tax upon the gross earnings of telegraph, telephone and ex press companies," thus bringings thousands of. dollars into the state treasury where before the state received nothing. There are nineteen different laws to be voted upon at the coming elect ion. Some of them have merits while others have none and among the latter is what is called the "Recall Law". There is no doubt that there will be provisions passed by the people that are without merit but the Bame thing can be said of our legislature. Such a law as the one passed by the people levy ing a tax on telegraph, tele phone and express companies, in all probability would never have been passed by the legis lature on account of these com panies having plenty of money, thus being able to block all pro posed legislation introduced into either house of the legislature that was or would be derogatory to their interests. It is a fact that three-fourths of the states in the Union, Ore gon being among them, have passed resolutions asking that Federal constitution be amended thus allowing the U. S. Senators to be elected by thepopular vote of the people, but the amend ment has never been made. However the direct primary law of the Btate of Oregon gives the people of this state that right. People of ordinary intelligence can readily make up their minds whether these are wise measures or not. - - 1 Another provision coming be fore the people will be the Uni versity of Oregon Appropriation' Bill. The former bill called for $125,000 for the year 1907 and annually thereafter. The Grange thought this was too much of a drain on the people and had the bill referendumed. This subject is also one of much discussion throughout the state. Those in favor of the bill, as it formerly stood, say that if the state of Or egon has a university, it should be among., the best. Others, while willing to concede " this, say that according to the num ber of students at the university j the amount of the former appro priation was larger than necces Bary. The Grange, although formerly standing firm as a body against the bill, are now split up..; ; . J. A. Scott and family left Thursday morning for a few weeks visit with friends and rel atives' in Pendleton. i Valentin Festivities.

Notice te Subscribers A recent ruling by the Post Office Department restricts the extension of credit by newspaper publishers to their subscribers to a period not to exceed one year from the date to which the sub scription is paid. When a sub- criber is one year in arrears his narite must be dropped or a one- cent stamp must be affixed to each copy of the paper mailed to him. This, of course is prohibit ive, and as a faiure to observe the ruling would result in being denied the. second-class postage rate, a strict compliance with the rule is necessary. The rule went into effect January 1st with April 1st named as the final limit for complying with its provisions. Everyone receiving the Globe knows whether he is in arrears or not, if you are see that you do the right thing by settling up your accounts on subscription. Jas. Cooke is back again. He went down the yalley to get into a warmer climate but had to return to find it. " '" ".

The funeral services were held from the residence at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Deceased was a prominent lodge member and was well known throughout the county having been in the jewel ry business in this city for sever al years. " Reminder of Former Days. : Tuesday night about 9 o'clock, there was five or six shots, fired on the -streets of MitchelL The shooter commenced the fusilade near the City Hotel and kept it up until lie passed W. L Camp bell's residence. The man was evidently intoxicated, asnosoVr man would hardly think of doing such a thing in open violation of the law and to the great danger of taking human life, for surely a man that will do that way can have no idea of the direction in which he is shooting. The party is well known. How long will such things continue the people want to know. Mitchell Senti nel New Feature Added to Globe. Look up the Globe's "Want Column" in this issue. We have decided to give one column ex clusively to Wants lost and found notices, stray notices, for sale notices, help wanted, etc The lost, found, for sale and es tray notices that have appeared in the Globe during the past six months have given such satis faction in every way bringing such good results that this column will be made a strong feature.
