If this amendment, passes, a bond election can bo called at, once and next season wit ness the inauguration of an extensive program of highway construction. The home rule road bill appears upon tho ballot in the following ferm: For amendment of Section 10 of Artlcta XI of tho Constltu- Hon of tho Stato of Oregon empowering the court of nny county to issue ami sell bonus or other securities to utuui nml maintain roads within tho comity when authorized by n majority of tho voters of tho county, and empowering the county court to present the question at nny general election or to call n special election for such purposes ami repealing nil constitutional amendments and acts In con- ' flirt with the proposed amendment, Including those sub mitted to the people at this election.

Still other measures to be voted, upon are the bills presented by, Governor West's compromise committee tho compromise effectually destroying tho merit of the bills. '' One of .tlienl is an aniendineht Hunting the road expenditures to Wo per cent of .the assessed valuation. This would practically stop road building in Jackson, Klamath and other counties which already have a large outstanding warrant indebtedness. It is the work ot fort- land men who evidently think that other counties cannot be trusted to spend their own money and would limit other counties to two per cent, while Portland's own indebted ness is six per cent. This amendment appeal's upon the ballot in the following ferm: For amendment of Section 10, Article XI, of tho Con stitution of Oregon prohibiting counties from voting any Indebtedness for roads. In excess of two per cent of assessed valuation of all property in the county. Vote YES or NO 34G. Yes. 347. X No. Vote No upon this amendment it is a road killer. The other measure is an enabling act to put this amendment into ettcct. it reads as lollews: A bill for an Act authorizing the respective counties of the itj State of Oregon to issue twenty-year bonds for building roads within the county, providing a method for expend ing the money In actual road construction and for calling and holding county elections to vote upon question of issu ing bondS andT authorizing county courts to levy taxes to pay principal tfhd Interest on bonds as they nfay mature:' Vote YES or NO 344. Yes. 345. X No. Vote No upon this measure. The home rule amendment is self-executing and re quires no other legislation. It solves in simple fashion the problem of permitting counties to build .their own high ways. Remember the numbers on the ballot. Vote No on ail the above except Number 360. The Commercial club has had printed slips for this measure for gratuitous distribution and every person in the Rogue River valley is requested to secure some and insert one in every letter written to Oregon addresses from now until election time.

Kel laher, republican and progressive candidate for presidential elector and republican nominee for state sena tor, today withdrew his candidacy as presidential olector from both tick ets, following a notification from tho secretary of state that that official would recognize Kellaher's nomina tion as state senator only, the state law prohibiting more than one can didacy. Toujght an assembly of republi cans named Phil Metschan, Jr., to fill the vacancy caused by Kellaher's withdrawal and John h. Rand of Da ker to fill that caused by tho declina tion to servo of William Hanley. They also repudiated Kellaher en tirely by naming 0. W. Nottingham of Portland to run independent for state senator in opposition to Kella her, 'and tho executive commltteo of tho progressive party tonight named A. L., Geddes of La Grande to fill the vacancy caused by Kellaher's with drawal from tho ticket. Equipoise Bookkeeping System PetltloH Bourne's CundJducy t SALEM, Sept, 20, Tho secretary t rUt,e today rocelved tho nomlna- tby petition ot Jonathan Bourne, -jr.W United states senator, The ti "was signed by thirteen 'Twelve gave their places of as Sparta and Baker, The Mlc the slogan, "Inde- irtfcrwwlvo" be placed after SfeaaaHHs f K. ? -j' Kf By E. L. McClure. Descartes gave to tho world the principles of double-entry bookkeep ing, but habit and custom is so hard to overcome In the control of human action, that accurate accounting was not adopted by the people or gov ernment of Great Brltian until the nineteenth century; and history re lates that treasury accounts were kept by cutting notches in sticks un til a fire in tho exchequer building burned" the kindling wood. Double-entry bookkeeping takes Into account all tho assets and liabil ities and keeps a record of earnings and expenses, profit and loss to ex hibit exact results of tho business per iodically; proving the accuracy of tho bookkeeping by a perfect balance of the assets and liabilities. The dou ble-entry system began with daybook, cash book, journal and ledger, neces sitating repetition entries for the ex hibition of tho details, which could be given In any mlnutla desired by copying the entries on auxllllary books and forms and carrying out tho segregations In separato columns. The enormous volume of business transacted by modern banks, clear ing houses, manufactories, and mam moth mercantile houses, havo been compelled to discard tho rigid set of double-entry books and utilize tho original entry made on a form for tho record, listing tho amounts to servo for tho bookkeeping record, without copying them In a day book, cash book, Journal or ledger. Tho nddlng machlno, typewriter, card Index, vertical fllo, loose leaf books, and color and numerical desig nation of accounts, havo revolution ized tho double-entry system of book keeping. 'All the modern Improve ments are utilized to their full ca pacity and labor reduced to tho mini mum by tho equipoise- bookkeeping system, -which utilizes tho original entry, without repetitions, to give every detail and particular of tho business required by listing the en tries and segregations under account numbers on tho adding machine, proving every segregation of tho ac counts by a perfect equipolso bal ance,' without mental effort except touching the right button. The ori ginal entry is filed for the legal evi dence to prove each account under its numerical designation In a vet-, tical file. Every detail and particu lar for each account assembled in one, and only one, place. Tho complications of the double entry system of bookkeoplng Is sim plified by providing a sultnbla form for all original entries to bo utilized for the permanent record. Any com petent clerk Is capablo of making the original entry, and when tho num ber designating the account has been placed on it tho sytem ot recording and exhibiting Individual balances, general accounts, and assets and lia bilities, is completed by the perfect mechanism of the adding mnchlno, which gives a moro perfect and con venient record for audit and for ret erence than could possibly bo made In a book with a pen. Habit and custom still compel edu cational Institutions to teach double- entry bookkeeping, becatiKo prece dent and authority still rests with Descartes; but practical common senso business men havo found that original entry systems save labor and give better results; retail stores aro rapidly discarding book entries nnd make salo slips answer for their rec ords of items; but habit and custom still compel nearly all tho bookkeep ing records to be made by hand, when tho marvelous mechanism of tho du plex adding machlno makes a far moro perfect record with a fraction of the labor that Is required to list the amounts with a pen. Baults are all doing soveral times the labor necessary and their records aro Infer ior to machlno records by the equi poise bookkeeping system, From the Department at Sturu) Though tho great difference In conditions pro ailing In Swltierluud and In the United States prevents tho adoption of many of tho actual prac tices employed In that republic for the financial assistants of tho far mer, yet thero Is much In principle which tho American farmer, at the brink of strengthening his position through tho doctrine of cooperation, can learn from the farmer of Swltt crlnnd. American Minister Uuutell bus recently forwarded to the stato department a report upon IUIh sub ject following his Investigation, in connection with President Tnft's ef fort to establish cooporutlvo credit In7 the United States for tho benefit of tho American farmer, The farmers of SwiUcriaud tiro tho backbone of tho nation. The government recognizes this, it In to the f armors jjiot.lho country) would turn If evor It upcamo necessary for that confederation to defend Its In dependence-.. WUely tho government tins done till in Its power to aid tho farmer, to stiffen tho. backbone of tho nation. Incidentally, however, the armors havt) taken a hand In the question of the 'government's look ing to their welfare. They havo inailo themselves a strong factor in tho government that Is, tho coopera tion practiced by tho Swiss farmers is largely jtolltlcal. Soveral years ,ogo thoy ormod an association the Swiss Fanners' as sociation and established; u, central inireau at uruggi. tiuk association s represented in tho Swiss national council, corrcipoiidlng to our own houso of representatives, by many prominent politicians. Ono of tho principal purponos of this association Is moro or less to fix and control the market prices of "nillk ' and other agricultural products In .the interests of tho farmery. Similar association?" havo been established In the various cantons (states) bearing tliojnnino of Can tonal Farmers' association, which aro members of thh SwIhs Farmers' association, with the samo principles and purposes aHtho .latter. Upsides tho federal and cantonal associations thero exist a great number of local (district) farmers' cooperative socie ties which havo lis their purposo the securing of cheaper prices for seeds and fertilizers by purchasing thoao articles in largq quantities, which aro kept in storehouses and can be obtained us needed from the adminis trator of the respective local society. Tho federal government can muko no loans to any of tho abovo-mon-tloned associations or cooperative socletleu, ,lnit It contributes annually an amount of 25,000 francs to tho otpenses of tho permanent central bureau of the Swl Farmers' asso ciation. In tho various cantons provisions aro made to facilitate loans to far mers In some of tho cantons there exist inorigiigu iittuKs. which an cantonal Institutions and which lire authorized to miiku loans to farmers, against a first mortgage, up to two thirds of thu nml value of tho farm property. The chief ndvantngo secured by the farmer In placing n mortgage with tho cantonal or stato mortgagu banks la that ho escapes the neces sity of rcpnjlng the principal ot hi mortgage In n single payment, nnd ho Is practically relieved from tho danger of forcclosuru. Improvements uf thn soli which enjoy tho, financial aid ot tho public authorities are: Irrigation, drnlnngo, clearance of the land, road making, road mending, boundary walls (fenc ing In), and thu erection of stables (shelters) on tho Apis, Whenever n farmer possesses land of which tho vnluo could considerably bo In creased through tho Improvement of tho soil, but cannot afford thu ox ppiiaoH for such work, ho enn tnnku application for n contribution to the costs of such undertaking to the government of his canton (stato). nnd, through thu fatter, to tho fed- oral government. In many cantons (states) tho municipal authorities do not contribute to an Improvement of tho soil If by such Improvement only one Individual farmer would profit, whilst they cpntrlbuto In Hioko cases whero n number of farmers or a corporation Is concerned. It may be of interest to know that the Swiss federal government, us Is dono by tho governments pf agricul tural cantons, encourages tho raising of cattle for breeding purposes by appropriating every year' In (ho budget a conslilorn)lo amount for premiums to ho given at thu cattlo shows to tho raisers of tho prize-win-ulng cattlo bullocks and cows. Largo Improvements wcro mndo In recent yenrs with tho financial aid from tho foderal and cantonal gov ernments and much Interest Is taken by tho public authorities in tho -welfare and prosperity of tho population in rural districts. It la romarkablo how tho prosperity of tho furmors has incrousod In tho past 16 yeurH, which Is to a great extent duo to tho financial assistance rendered thorn by tho cantonal and federal govern ments In tho manlier prescribed In tho foregoing report. The Inefficiency of Trusts j- . (Louis D. Ilrandles in Colliers') First No conspicuous American trust owes Its existence to tho doslro for Increased efficiency, "Expected economies from c'oinblrmfloii" ffguro largely In promoters' prospectuses; but thoy Ijnvo never boorn compell ing motlvo in tlm. formation of any trust. On the contrary, the purposo of combining has often boon to curb efficiency or even to prosprvo In effi ciency, tli mi frustrating thu natuiul law of survival of the fittest. Second no conspicuously profit able trust owes Its profits largely to superior efficiency. Somo trusts havo been very cffjclont, as Imvo somo Independent concerns; but conspicu ous. profits huvo been secured mainly through contrpl of, tho market through tho nowor of monopoly to tho taxing power, Third No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain long us against thu Independents Its proportion of tho business of the country without continuing to buy lip, from time to time, Its sucL'OHSful competitors, Theso three, propositions' aro, also, trtio of most of thu lessor trusts, If there Is any exception tho explana tion wl)l, doubtless, ho found In ex traordinary ability on the part of the managers or unusual trade condi tions. And this further proposition may bo added: Fourth MOst of tho trusts which did not secure monopolistic position havo failed to show marked success or efficiency, us compared with In fix prices through -ilils exerclso of depeiidont competing concornB.
