It has been stimulated by success of the fruit-growers asso ciations in California-, by the success of Herbert Hoover's volunteer sys tem of food control during the war, fornla and it has made the fmit, poultry and alfalfa growers of that state prosperous.

The choice Is between the nii ,rr tn hnM ... t it. I -w " - ' - o ' exhorbltant prices in the cities. The way is thus prepared tor extension of the farmers' co-operative market ing system throughout the country. Yet actual organization does not go on. Farmers have not time, or experience or business knowledge to take it up themselves. If some pri vate individual outside the farming Industry undertakes to oranize, he finds himself distrusted as an agl-1 tator or promoter, and fails to enlist a large enough proportion of grow-' ers of any product to insure success. The consequence Is that, though the republican platform and Senator Harding have declared for the plan, actual work of organization lags. ! All was ready for somebody to step In who had the organizing abil-' ity. the plan and the perseverance necessary to success.

We will not forget ho expenaive NOTICEOF ELECTION Notice is hereby civen that the GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION of the Town of Springfield, Lane County, Oregon, harding fchall be held at the same time and place as the general County and State elections are held. November 2, 1920. For the election of ONE MAYOR to serve four years. TWO CUNCILMEN to serve four years. " TWO COUNCILMEN to serve two years. ONE RECORDER to serve two years. ONE TREASURER to serve two years. Also at the said election there shall be subrn'ttcd for their approval or rejection the following proposition more and more exporta to tlu-m. . art'ue the advocated of the plan.

QUESTION (Continued from Page One) Shall an Ordinance of the Town of Springfield be passed prohibiting the production of any theatrical show, exhibition, (raveling vaudeville performance and moving picture show in any theatre, building, hall, tent or any other place vitbfn the Town of Sfringfield on the first day of the week commonly called Sunday. tion. If there are any such prisoners, they are held in violation of law, and will be given relief under Senator Harding's pledge to 'take immediate action to restore Justice' as In any other cases. "Self preservation Is the first law of nature. It is also the first law of governments. Unless the govern ment bo preserved, no personal or property right can be safe from the i aggressions of combined greed and ' brute power. "There is not. now nor has there ever been any disposition to hinder j any man who proposes a change In j our form of government In the manner prescribed--by amendment to thu Under former sheriffs, hi 1 !!;, it cost $ 1 L'..r.!ti;.l L' to nni the c.riiec; in 1!U7 It cost $ 1 ().7.to.r; ; in 1!)1S it cost $1.111 L'S, nnd in 1 i) 1 U under the present sheriff it cost $1 C. l.rl.;;s to run thin j office, an increase of over per cent, or $10 JO. 10 with no extra increases in salaries or deputy hire. For the FIRST SIX MONTHS of 1I20 (this year) it. cost the present sheriff $ 1 0.01 3. to run this ofice. Within $M,!)7.i;r as much as for the full year of 1!1S. IS THIS ECONOMY OR IS IS EXTRA VA C.ANCE''' Does this partially answer Hie quest ion why TAXES ARE 1IKJII in Lane county? If the sheriffs office of Lane county cost $12,411 In lf18 should it cost $10,451 In 11!I, and be $18,000 or $20,000 in 1920, In face of the fact that the other county offices have Increased only a few hundred dollars during these years. The salary and all expenses of the sheriff are paid by the county. The sheriff's office should not be used ae a collection agency for the Eugene Justice Court district. The regular elected constable should do the work of the Eugene Justice district and not the sheriff's office do this work at a loss and at the expense of the taxpayers In general.. If elected Sheriff I will turn all fees collected by me over to the county treasurer PROMPTLY, where they rightly and legally belong, not waiting for a request from the county court to do so, as these fees belong to the county, earned on count time, and at county expense, and with county automobile and gas. If elected Sheriff on November 2nd I promise the taxpayers of Lane county to conduet the affairs of the office in an Impartial and business-like manner, giving a square deal to all, and that I will use ECONOMY in conducting the affairs of the office, thus holding the running expenses down, to" the minmum.
