TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. OC t OBER 21. 1920 REPUBLICANS FOB STANFIELD Harding Needs Republican Senate Oregon Needs Protective Tariff K Capital and Industry-Keep Out! WOULD YOU, AS A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN OF OREGON, PLACE SL’CH A SIGN ON THE BORDERS OF THE STATE ? That is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 314 and 315 on the November ballot entitled. Constitutional Amendment Fixing Legal Rates of Interest in Oregon.” r*8 3 his measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Oregon to 5 per cent. Y>u can by law, fix the rate of interest in Oregon, but you cannot, by law, force the loaning of money in this strife, when a much higher rate can be secured elsewhere, The passage of this measure would force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capita! which is today loaned on factories, business and real estate in the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better investments! I assage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousands of mortgages; would result in financial paralvsis, and would mean wide spread unemployment. __ à. As is generally known, the present Republican majority in the United StUi.es Senate is Just one vote, Repub- bliean control of that body is, there fore, in jeojardy. It is the reallzat- tion of this fact which is causing Oregon’s Republicans to unite in sup port of the candidacy of the Republi can nominee for United States Sena tor, Robert N. Stanfield. With a diff erence of only one in the present Senate. Republican voters have awak ened to the fact that if they vote for George E. Chamberlain they may by that every act be turning the control of the Senate over jo the Democrats. On the other hand, by electing Rob ert N. Stanfield it is possible that ills single vote may give the Republicans control of the Senate, and thus put that body solidly back of Harding. Oregon producers are fearful of the effect that the election of Cox and a Democratic Senate would have upon them. It is quite evident that under Democratic rule rival products of foreign origin would offer a ser ious menace to many Oregon prod ucts. It the American standard of living is to be maintained, Oregon farmers, livestock men, fruit grow ers, lumbermen and woolgrowers must receive a price for their pro duct which will enable them to make a reasonable profit over and above the cost of produotion. They will be unable to obtain such reasonable pro fit. or any profit at all, unless a Rep ublican administration is elected to levy protective tariff duties just high enough to save our producers from the ruinous competition threatened by Canadian wheat and lumber. New Zealand butter, Australian wool, Ar gentine corn, European beet sug: r. South American meat and hides and Mancljurian beans and peas. To hamper a Republican President with a Democratic Senate flies in the face of the well accepted principle that governmental management should be centered, so that the peo ple can correctly place the responsib ility for success or failure. The feel ing among Oregon Republicans Is therefore, becoming quite general that Harding, if elected, is entitled the support of a Republican Senate and that .therefore Oregon should elect the Republican Senatorial nom- inee, Robert N. Stanfield, to help back up Harding. VOTE 315 X NO AND URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO DO LIKEWISE. STATE TAXPAYERS LEAGUE.

The first obser-. ers of projections on Mars hud attributed them to the same cause that produ- projections on the moon—that Is. mountains. Such they were said to be In France and at Lick. Tills view, however, wns in 1892 dis puted by W. H. Pickering, who consid ered them to be not mountains, but clouds. This view was supported by A. E. Douglass, who observed them in 1892 at Flagstaff, Ariz. The mountain theory of their generation was shown to be untenable and their ascription to clouds proved to be the correct theory In December. 1909. Only a sin gle projection was visible In 1900. 1903 and 1905. As a mountain does not change its place, and as nothing was seen where something had been vis ible. tiie phenomenon was proved to not be a mountain peak. Now the only other thing capable of catching the light before It reached the surface would he something suspended in tiie air—that is. a cloud. Deductions. therefore, from the rarity of tiie phe nomenon aloe allowed that the pro jections must be clouds. Furthermore, the projection war- smaller after the lapse of 24 hours. The something that caused it was not only not attached to the soil, but was moving and dissipat ing as It moved along. Clouds are the only bodies known to us which ac count for these metamorphoses. Clouds, then, and not mountains, are the explanation of tiie projections of Mars.—"Mars and Its Canals,” by Per cival Lowell.

Interesting to the Stu- dent of Evolution. The wingless birds of New Zealand are particularly Interesting to the na i ture student as illustrating the process of evolution. Nowhere but in their native land could these birds have survived, and, therefore, nowhere else would they have become wingless. New Zealand is the only region on earth where there are no destructive animals. Being unable to fly, the birds could not, of course, have escaped from any swift hunting animals such as abound in all other lands. It Is In* terestlng to note that the knkapo. or ground pnrrot, once had the use of its wings, but being a grass seed feeder and .finding no enemies on the ground gradually ceased to fly and eventually lost the use of Its wings entirely, though it can run very swiftly. These birds are so gentle and so unconscious of having any enemies thut if a per son sits down near one and keeps qui et it will presently tuck its head un der its wing and go to sleep. The knkapo breeds but once In.two years, and the mother bird carefully hides the nest from her mate, though why she does so Is unknown, the male showing no desire to harm the eggs or young birds. In this Infrequent breed ing Is demonstrated nature's thought fulness—having no destructive ene mies the knkupo would multiply to too great numbers If the breeding season occurred ns frequently as with other birds. it Perhaps You Don’t Know*’ says the Good Judge IIow long a little of the R eal Tobacco Chew will last.
