Intends "to ravish the v.lrgln forests of

"MONEY FOUND IN BANIC" (Hd
line Portland News). How unusual.
The bottom is dropping out pf the
charges filed by Mr. Hall of Coos coun

was dostlned by Providence to bo gov

calendar except the one of voting for

the Imagination of his managers, while
under the law, nothing counts but

j A3 IT HAPPENS
(Omaha Excelsior)
Oh, say can you sing from tho Blurt
' to tho ond.
What so proudly you stand for when
orchestras play it
When the whole congregation In
' voices that blend
Strike up tho grand hymn and then
torturo and ulny it?
How they bellow and shout when
they're first starting out,
But "the dawn's early light" finds
them floundorliig about.
'Tis "Tho Star-Spanglod Banner'
they're trying to Blng,
But they don't know tho words of tho
precious old thing.
Hark! Tho "twilight's lust gloaming"
has some of thorn stopped,
But the valiant survivors press for
ward sercnoly
To "the ramparts wo watched," whore
somo others are dropped
And the Ions of tho leaders is man I font
kocnly;
Then "tho rockets' red glare" gives
the bravest a scaro,
There are few left to face "tho
bombs bursting in air"
'Tis a thin line of heroes that manage
to savo
The last of the verse, nnd "the home
of tiie brave."
A VERY pootl American is supposed to revere the Constitution.
Not only the constitution of his. country, but of his state. For
the constitutions of country and still represent the wisdom of our
forefathers, the fundamental law.
Hut as far as the state constitution of Oregon is concerned, this
reverence has, in recent years, been woefully lucking. Through the
initiative at every state election, Ihcce is a perfectly inane and linid-tlle-heatlcd
onslaught ou the state constitution, and only Hit saving
.'race of popular common sense has prevented the fundamental law
from being scrambled and hashed and mutilated, beyond cither
recognition or comprehension.
At the coming election the nsuitl onslnHght will be made. And
wilJi the public mind, distraught ami disorganized ns never before,
there is grave danger that some of these proposals to change the fun
damental law will be adopted.
One is for a salmon fishing and prvpogation amendment. It would
regulate through the state constitution, the operation of our fish
hatcheries. Could anything be more preposterous? Imagine regu
lating the gentle art of angling, a necessarily changeable and roman
tic recreation, by a change in the fundamental law.
Still another is changing the interest rate, a third is grafting the
Single Tax nightmare on the constitution, and then of course the
much discussed Anti-Parochial school law, which would mark Ore
gon as the first find only state in the union, to deny religious and edu
cational freedom.
With the possible exception of the income tax amendment, there
ia not a proposal, for constitutional amendment tin's year, which is
desirable, either from a social or business standpoint, and yet the
issues, thanks to the Initiative, have been raised and must be met.
There are only two ways to meet thein. Either the people must
effectively crush this tampering with the state constitution, by voting
down each constitutional amendment that is offered, regardless of its
merits, leaving the initiative in such fundamental matters, to the
legislature, or there must be an awakening of public interest to such
nn extent that the voters as a whole, will study every proposal so
that its exact meaning and effect may bo clearly understood.
The last plan is the better. But it will never work unless every
voter assumes his and her share of the responsibility.

"Bought and . Paid Kor." George
rtroadhursl's hardy perennial, readied
the screen of tho Pago theater this
week as a William He .Millo produc
tion, with Agues Ayres nnd Jack Holt
in tho leading roles.
In Its camera reincarnation "Bought
and Paid For" lias lost none of the fun
damental appeal which made it a phe
nomenal stage success. William Be
Mille has not taken any liberties with
tho story and has given it much the
same sotting that was seen on the
stage. "Bought nnd Paid For" will
pieaso as well in six reels as it did in
three acts.
"Bought and Paid For" romaina at
the Page theatre only two days more.
"Golden Dreams" at Rlalto
Spanish intrigue and American
pluck face one another in "Golden
Dreams," a picture made from a Zanc

tho Itialto theater. And tho crart or

The picture is one which the much
abused word "thrills" expresses best.
One must see "Golden Dreams" to
get tho full enjoyment of its thrills.
it is well acted hy a cast of playeu
folk with big names, Carl Gantvoort
doing tho Scotchman nnd Claire Adams

is the handsomer of the two principal

Bonds 1
MRDFOrtn, Aug.- 2. Although
$l.r0,000 bonds of this issue worn re-1
served especially for residents cf Med-!
ford and vicinity already more than'
$50,000 of tho bonds have been sold. I
it may bo impossible to personally I
meet all my clients and friends lie-1
tore the balance has been sold. This
letter is therefore written to get the!
facts before as many as possible. - j
Security Absolute
Mineteen thousand, eight hundred;
acres are covered under the tax lien
of this issue, at the rato of $20.22
per acre. Figured against the !
choicest land, G,"00 acres, presently
to be irrigated, the debt amounts to
but $03,49 per acre. The 'value of
these lands is conservatively figured
at $1,500,000, whilo the bond fcsue
amounts to but $400,000. These
lands will increase in value and the
bonded debt "will be reduced by an
nual payments.
Reason for Low Debt
Big Eutto Creek furnishes tho
water supply, a positive, adequate,
reliable supply. No reservoir is re
quired; only a small diversion dam.
-No difficult engineering problems
are presented. A harmonious organ
ization of farmers, who knew what
they wanted, the advice of progres
sive local bankers, cooperation of ex
pert engineers; and the result was at
tained. Money was not wasted.
Tax Lien General
No land under this District can be
released until every cent of principal
and interest of every last bond has
been paid.
Tho lien of these bonds secures
tho holder in exactly tho same way
as a School 'District Bond.
Heats 77" Mortgages
Figure It up. (Night nnd day, year
in and year out these bonds pay in
terest thero Is no period of idle
money, nq time taken out for re
Investment, no delay in payment of
interest, no Federal Income Tax to
pay, no expenses and no requests for
favors, extensions or delays. Any
man who will figure can fully prove
this. ' ' ;'
liettcr Sectii lly
111 thoso bonds you have better
than 3 to 1 security and the Joint and
several obligation of 0 1 owners and
their families (that's what it amounts
to.) Tho principal and interest Is
collected through taxes by the Sheriff
and tho terms of payment, are
easy, G7r small annual Installments
over a 25 year period. ' Yes, and
every dollar loaned goes to add more
than a dollar In tho way of increased
