The voters of Oregon sfiould not fail' to pass at least two of the meas ures on ballot at election June 3. namely : The amendment to the Constitu1 tion authorizing the State fo guaran tee the interest on drainage or irriga tion bonds for five years. The State is not asked to pay or guarantee the bonds. The bonds are secured by local land and are paid by local districts. During period of k construction, and in preparing of h land for maximum production, the farmer is hard pressed for money, an,d the State of Oregon, by extend. ing its credit to a:d in development of his lands, without paying out a cent of taxpayers' money makes it possible to develop all of these millions of acres of good farm land. The interest, which State is asked to guarantee, ;will be paid by dis . tricts and State of Oregon simply acts as banker and financial agent for districts. It is extending results of Rural Credit act to organizations of farmers. It will mean millions of - dollars spent for construction work and hundreds of millions added to as sessed valuation of state. It will give our discharged soldiers and sailors first chance to , secure the land offered for sale at a price fixed by the state. The other measure is the Roose velt highway. The whole state is interested in being linked with the other coast states by all year north and south highway which snow never blocks. This would give three great roads north and south, which with the cross roads east and west, would open up the whole state for development. Every citizen in the state should be interested in opening up the while state for this is not an eastern, western or southern Oregon proposition, its a state wide prop osition just as is the irrigation and drainage district measure. For once let us forget sectional ism and get behind real state de velopment which will help us all. Manufacturer. 1 t The most stupendous historical pageant "ever attempted in Oregon will be given in Salem for the com memoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Willamette Uni versity, the oldest university west of the Mississippi River. Between 350 and 500 people will take part in the 24 episodes which picture in dram atic form the great events of Oregon history. Over 100 Indian parts will be played by Indians from the Chemawa Indian School. The pageant has been written by Prof. Delia Crowder-Miller, who is known thru all the Lyceum. circles as the "Ben Hur Lady" because of her famous interpretation of that masterpiece. Prof. Crowder-Miller will give personal direction to the pageant, which fact in itself is an assurance of its artistic and dramatic . success. Many pioneers are showing much interest in the oaeeant because of its depicting the famous scenes of Oregon histbry. Much assistance is being derived from their suggestions as to the characters and appearances of the great pioneers. The oaeeant is under the direction of committees composed of both university people and the citizens of Salem. Upon the general ex ecutive 'committee is Pres. Carl Gregg Doney representing the ad ministration, Pr of. Delia Crowder Miller representing the faculty, and Prof. James I. Matthews represent in? the alumni. The pageant is to be presented on a large out-of-door stage. As the , seating capacity of the stadium will not exceed 2000 people, the entire performance will be repeated on three different davs, June 7th, 9th and 10th. Considerable confusion exists with reference to the two measures affect ing the $5,000,000 reconstruction bond issue that is to be voted upon June 3. There are two measures, for each of which the ballot title mentions a $5,000,000 bond issue. The two measures relate'to the same bond issue. One measure is the constitu tional amendment making it possible to issue the bonds, and rne other is the legislative- act issuing the btxitfc and specifying how the money is t be expended. ! To vote for the $5,000,000 bonds, it is necessary to vote for both meas ures. If the constitutional amend-j ment should carry alone, the bonds: would not be issued. If tbe legisla tive act alone should carry, the bonis could not be issued, for there would be no constitutional authority. In voting for both measures, the voterj is not voting for two bond issues, but for the two measures necessary for the one bond issue. Also, in order to make certain that the Industrial Hospital be erected upon the proposed site iit Portland, it is necessary to vote for the con stitutional amendment permitting this hospital to be erected outside of Marion County. All who favor the $5,000,000 bond issue, nrcfutfing the industrial hospital, will vote not only for the two $5,000,000 measures but in addition will vote for tfte cmendment permitting the hasptal to be built in Portland. Oregon Voter. . 1-1 WHAT WILL- BARK'S BABY DRIXKr Along with Dad's demijohn they appear about to take baby's, milk bottle away. Dad may miss the demijohn, but he will be better off. The baby may not miss the: milk bottle, but he will be much the worse for its lack. It his been discovered that there is no substitute for butter. Nor is there anything to raise- a baby on but whole milk. Children, to the age of twelve, find in cow's milk a food that nothing else supplies. But the farmer lias discovered that valeting a herd of cows is the most laborious, tedious, and frequently, least remunerative ork on the farm. The dairyman has no days off, no slack season, no vacations. He must arise at an unholy hour. and must remain up until equally sacniligious hour. Many of his cows do not pay for their feed. City health department restrictions impose limitations and expense upon him that irk him, as well as cut profits. He is at the mercy of the clock, and the hired hand, and the machine milker does not solve the problem. Dairying as compared to stock raising, fruit growfng, or half a aozen otner tarm specialties, in cludes more work, and more risk, and1 demands more atterftfon to detail, and requires a better brand of salesmanship than any of them. And the profits are frequently less, while the investment is greater. The back lot cow once supplied millions of American families. It has about- gone, and left no hejr to its throne. Wide areas of grazing lands can no longer be kept in pasture profit ably. Dairy workers are hard to secure, harder to keep, and hardest of all to pay Altogether it looks like the baby's milk bottle in ten years would run dry. We may come to the family goat yet. The Soldier's, Sailors and Marines' Educational Aid Bill is reveiving hearty support from the press of the State.- If ywu beliere mat the 2000 boys who quit school to enter the service of the Country in the great crisis and wfco have lost 18 months va two years oat of their lives are the fcmd of boys it will pay to educate, vote 314 Yes. We are spend ing thousands upon thousands of dollars to educate young men it) our State instrtiflipas, because we know it pays- It wiS be a good investment to educate the boys who went out to fight our battles for us. If you are assessed on one thousand dollars worth of property, it will cost you onetenth of one mill to help one of these boys attend school a year, or 20 cents for the whole crowd. Are they worm it? Be sure to vote 314 Yes. , t Bouonewirai abtd kational LAWS A socialist orator at Spokane eu logizes Lenine, the Russian dictator,' as having more brains than all the Statesmen in die world. He says: I "Lenine is endeavoring to insti stitute a scientific government where all the people may live ac cording to the laws of nature." To make if. possible to live and protect persons and property and the right to live,' liberty and happi ness "laws of nature" had to be set aside for laws of states and nations. In me operation of the "laws of nature" the strong takes from the weak and such bogatells as morality, equity, justice, disappear. To do away with all laws, means to restore society to such primitative conditions that civilization as now constituted will disappear. That is about what is happening in Russia under the operation of the "laws of "nature," where earnings and savings are impossible. BaisbeYtsm m milder forms is advocated in our country in the name of democracy, of industry, and state- owned industries. The American ideals of individual intiattve, individual enterprise, ac cumulation of property and homes is die opposite of Bolshevism. "WATCH OREGON." ' "We have been keeping our eyes on Oregon for a long, time," said a middle westerner recently upon a visit to our commonwealth. "The whole world is watching Oregon", said thus man and expecting Oregon to do things worth watching." Why not adopt as die state wide slogan of progress "Watch Oregon" and make our motto "Do something worth watching." Vale Enterprise. !-t L. A. Hunt, recently appointed County Agricultural Agent tor Mar row county, has arrived and is now on the job in earnest Mr. Hunt U engaged at present in familiarizing himself with the duties in his new field, and he is pleased to note, that notwitnstanding the county has been without an agent since the first of the year, many things tertaining thereto have been looked after by Mr. Brown, the retiring agent, and this make it an easier task for Mr. Hunt to get started with his work. We are impressed that Mr. Hunt is a man that will look after his work well. . Mrs. M. 1. Oner, who has been at the farm home of W. B. Finley in the Alpine district since July last, has returned to her Heppner home.
