In his add. ess be piscd betore the people of the country bis plan for the fu ture of the r.ktif-n He described in dmct. honest language his desire ihat the people of the world roipht live in peace and harmonoy; that they mifrht turn from the pursuit of war to a course that would bring the greatest (rood to the universe. In the matter of economy. President Coolidg-e emphasized the necessity for economy in the expenditure of the people t money and pledged himself to continue the path he had entered upon when he became President, r.an-iely that of saving the money of the taxpayer. President Coolidpe has been the only President in the history of the nation that forced a portion of the taxes to be given back to the tax payer, and he stated in terms which could not be misunderstood that a further icduction of taxes may be had if the present plan of economy in public xpcnditures aii the present rate of income continues welcome nes, ii:de-d, to the millions who h until a short time ago been forced to pav most exhorbitant taxes.

It is his desire that whenever possible, laws be enacted that will be o benefit to each and every state and section of the United States. There is no denying the fact that Calvin Coolidfe, during the time that ks heen in office, has given much studv to the furthering of the wel far of the Deonle of the States. His speecn snoweu mm is deeply concerned with ail prooiems. the solving of which will mean even a better condition than we enjoy to day. The speech of Calvin Coolldge was not an oratorical effort; it was not wht one would expect to hear from a gifted orator, but it was the honest. trn.ht-forward staiemeni oi who has demonstrated to the people of the nation toat he is honestly con cerned with the welfare of every man, woman and child in the United States. His address was one that rang true it came from the heart; it was the statement of a conscientious, clean tbinkintr. honest statesman, who be lieves in the people of the nation. came from a man who believes that our people want to maintain our high idea s, honesty ot purpose other attributes that have made us todav what we are, a United States a country whose standards are of the highest. A country where right and justice and common sense will pre vatl. WOOL MARKET REMAINS STRONG The wool market continue strong with considerable active buying on the part of manufacturers in the Kast. The theory being that the re-elevtion of Treaident Coohdge. which now .eemt a certainty, will make for higher rather than lower priced wool. We have heard of no wool being contracted! in Oregon for next year delivery. It is true that rumor are afloat that contracts have been writ ten at 40c per pound, but having traced a few of these, we are con vinced that few, if any. contracts have been drawn. It is likewise re ported that contract have been of fered growers in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming at 10c per pound for li-5 wool. We are unable to confirm thi. but l.ave no doubt that such offers are being made in the States named, A few odd lota of wool left in Ore gon from li24 shearing are being ragerly sought after at prices as high as 43c per pound. We know of no sttles having been made recently at country points. In theeOctober issue of the Nation al Wool Grower. Secretary Marshall discusses the matter of contracting 1925 wool clip a follows: "In ome western states growers have been ottered contracts for wools to be shorn next spring. The prices ottered are below present quotations. The grower who accepts auch a con tract is betting against himself. He is going against the judgment of those who otter to buy 192S wools now and who well know that ther it nothing that the election or winter event can bring forth that has any prospect of lowering present price. If the American trade policy contin ue as at present in respect to wool, there is good reason to expect that world conditions may carry wool libcve present prices." The Oregon Woolgrower.

BUDGET ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES. Workmen, NEE OREGON'S Farmers and Manufacturers VdDQJIK WEL IPs AN EFFORT is being made to wreck Oregon's existing Workmen's Compensation Law thru the initiation of the so-called Compulsory and Constitutional Amendment to the Work men's Compensation Law. This amendment was initiated by a small group of professional agi tators of Portland nd appears on Tuesday's ballot under Nos. 310 and 311. This astounding measure boldly demands that Oregon's working people and her industries shall surrender their basic American Rights of fair hearing and appeal to a jury. In its place it creates a super-government of three men, with powers to force Oregon s farmers to contribute to the state accident fund, and submit to the dictation of this super-commission which would have FINAL authority, and from whose rulings our farmers, working people and industries would have NO APPEAL. Furthermore it would practically WRECK the present good law, and nullify the many years of earnest constructive endeavor.

A three-man political commission would be created with legislative, judicial and executive powers, that would be above the law answerable to no other authority the only judge and jury of its own actions. This finality of power would take from the working men, farmers and industries their basic rights of ap peal and of fair hearing before a.jury. It could make its compensation awards to injured men as little as it pleased, arbitrarily raise fanners' and workmen's rates or refuse to extend medical treat ment. No appeal to an American jury from such ac tion could be taken by either. It wulJ automatically create a state medical and hos pital trust because the amendment forces the injured man tu receive treatment from doctors at hospitals of the commission's choosing, or go without such treatment. 8 It would wreck the present good compensation law, which guarantees every working man specific com pensation and proper care, when injured, replacing this certain protection with the arbitrary rules of three men, who could as easily be unfair as they could be just. It would again mark the return of ambulance-chasing and shyster lawyers, who prior to the operation of the present compensation law, waxed fat on the mis fortunes of the laboring man. It would take from the state legislature all power to correct any evils in the law. It would give politicians such dangerous powers that conditions could easily be made intolerable for our working people, our far mers and our industries. There is no need for the amendment. The present law is a good law. Everybody knows that the rates for compensation are now specifically fixed by law, and unfair treatment can be dealt with by an appeal to a jury. - ' OREGON INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT COMMITTEE Portland, Oregon There is only one way to save Oregon and her workers, farmers and industries from this menace Vote Down the Compensation Amendment VOTE 311-X NO!
