Be sure and vote 311 Y Vn .,

Ahere arc seven lax bills, presented
"iy the tax commission, and two bv
the single taxers. to vole on, worthy
ot study. Oregon is certainly not pre
pared for the hitler. '
I he salary of the state printer
should be flat, even if you have to vote
lor some things not desired to make it
that way.
In the much talked about moving

rade at Eugene, Salem, Corvallis and
Albany go! soup, being left out, except
one fla-li showing an Albany sign
from the rear, while the Portland del
egation and the Eugene crowd were
displayed to the limit. It was un
doubtedly the program. Eugene is
evidently catering to Portland more
than a friendly relationship with the
otiler valley towns.
Xo man can stay with a mean plan
of life and make it pay from any
standpoint. On the contrary it pays
to live right and do right.
Swat the graduated single tax mea
sure good and hard: also the majority
bill stabbing the initiative.
An Albany man has received a let
ter from his alma mater in Mo. urg
ing him to vote for Wil-ou. Good advice-
What a good many church people
need is conversion.
Come to think about it, for goodness
sake what is that peace commis-ion

Without waiting for election day a
new rose has been named Woodroiv

Will '13 be a lucky year or one of
disaster? An opportunity for a great
test in superstition.
The people of Albany for a good
many reasons should vote no on the
Salem Brewery bill, sometimes called
the saloon bill.

UNWILLING VOYAGER
Steamship Yale Carries Hither
Protesting Cashier of Hotel
Lankersheim, Los Angeles.
San Francisco, Oil., October 27.
The fact that San Francisco is the
Queen City of the Pacific, that it soon
is to be liie great exposition city and
that it possesses attractions that few
other cities can boast of were nut re
sponsible for the coming here of Miss
Kvelyn Stewart, cashier of the Hotel
l.ankershim in Los Angeles.
With only the clothing she wore,
not even a brush and comb, so neces
sary in feminine daily routine, and
without even carfare to a hotel, Miss
Stewart arrived from the South on
Thursday on the steamship Vale, and
against her will, too.
She was among a number of An
gel en os who went aboard the Yale
on Wednesday previous to the ves
sel s departure tor the north. blie
was busily talking with several wo
men passengers when she heard the
familiar voice of the stewaress say:
"Why, Miss Stewart, I didn't know
you were to be one of us on this
trip."
"I'm ivt," innocently replied the
young woman.
'ion re not.' was the laughing re
tort that caused Miss Steward to turn
her face suddenly shoreward just in
time to see the buildings of San Pedro
fading in the distance.
.Miss Steward protested to the nur-
ser. then to the captain, but to no
avail, i he lale could not turn back.
So M is Stf wat t reluctantly came
"dead head" to S;m Francisco.
Friends interceded and she was "dead
headed" on the bus to the Hotel
Stewart, where sin- again listed "d.
h.." and remained until yesterday
morning, when funds were sent her
from I. os Angeles. She left on yes
terday afternoon's steamship for
home.

Governor Says That $500,000
Appropriation Will Be Killed
If Bill Passes.
Salem. Ore., Oct. 29, 1912.
Kdilor tif Democrat:
Inasmuch as this office is being re
peatedly asked as to what will be
come of the $500,000.00 appropriation
made by the last legislature for the
University of Oregon, and now held
up by the referendum, should the pro
posed millage tax bill for the sup
port of the I'niversily of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural College car
ry. I wish to make the following
statement lor the information of your
readers:
If the proposed millage tax bill
(No. 320 on the ballot) carries it will
kill this $500,000,110 appropriation and
the money, already raised through,
taxation and in the hands of the slate
treasurer, will revert to the General
Fund and be available for other pur
poses. The millage tax bill abolishes the
two boards of regents and the board
of higher curricula and puts both in
stitutions under one board.
It is a well known fact that at least
one-fourth of the time of the mem
bers of the legislature is taken up
wrangling over the appropriations for
these institutions. The millage tax
bill will keep them away from the
legislature and take them out of poli
tics. Yours very truly,
OSWALD WEST.
