Where the most attractive bargains are shown, it would be difficult for us to
answer. Of course the DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT attracts many for here are
the KNOWN values. A few cents reduction on some well known staple article
attracts attention while reductions of dollars on COATS, SUITS- FURS, MIL
LINERY, CLOTHING and many other articles would fail to attract Prices are

OPEN FORUM
Editor Capital Journal:
I have read with interest the article
in the. Journal of Saturday evening
"Open Forum'? regarding the work
men's compensation law as applied to
the farmer, I have been a student of
this law for some time and have been
looking for some one to open a discus
sion along these lines in order that we
all may get a little more light on the
subject which is becoming more import
ant every day.
Our friend speaks from the stand
point of the farmer I would like to
speok from the standpoint of the small
builder or contractor, the one who has
to bid on the small huildintr contracts

Marion County to

The Marion County Poultry show to

retary of the association.
Bird fanciers from Yamhill and Poll,
counties promise to be on hand with
their beBt stock. ClackumaB county has
always furnished its share of birds and
rhe poultry men of that county have al
ways been boosters for the shows held
iu this county. The spirit of co-operation
is nlso being shown by Linn coun
ty, and taking everything into con
sideration, Mr. Smith thinks Sulera will
have a poultry show better in every
respect than those of former years. Ap
plication for entry blanks are being re
ceived by expert bird men in all those
counties.
Judge B. F. Kecncy, of Eugene, has
been secured to judge tho birds. Just as
an extra inducement the cash prizes are

TATT ACCUSING HAERIBOtT '
New .Haven, Conn., Dec. 7. Continu
ing his controversy over democratic
rulo in the. Philippines, former Presi
dent Taft was on record today as ac
cusing Governor General Harrison of
administering affairs in partisan fash
ion, and in a manner demoralizing is
land affairs.
of losing the contract.
We all must agree that there are
some excellent points in this law nn
this fact is brought to our notice every
I day by the commissioners as it is to
mcir interest to Keep me goou (neiore
the public and say nothing about the
many weak points that' naturally nriso
in every new administration of our
many laws, however it appears to the
writer that with the present method
of administration it is the man who is
listed as. a builder, who advertises the
fact and who uses any publicity at all
in his business that pays the insurance
and the man who says nothing and
keeps quiet that gots off easy, if the
commission hnvo not plnced them on
their original list of employers of haz
ardous labor, and if through ignorance,
neglect, or any cause., they fail to re
port aud if they go ahead and finish
the contract without accident and no
notice is taken of the fact thnt this
has been done, is it not you and I who
have been contributing Tegulnrly to the
fund, tho ones who are paying for hit'
insurance I Under the law they become
automatically protected and should an
accident happen thoy are entitled to
just as much protection ns the man
who has boen making regular payments
on his payroll be it lnrge or small, nn'
in this day of keon competition tho
man who figures on the contract and
knows there is a chance to bent the in
surance fund is the man who usually
gots the job.
During the first part of the year the
writer had occasion to do several sin
contracts in the southern part of th'
state. About every 60 or 90 days a
young man representing the commission
would appear on the scono and inspect
the time books, pay roll or whatever
record tho contractors would have of
work finished or in the process of con
struction, and would look up all new
work, in fact keep as good a check
on the building operations as possible,
but I understand that even that hnB
been discontinued and that the commis
sion could not nfford to keep up this
extra expense. In my opinion this was
one of the most vnluablo parts of tho
organization and if thero wero more of
them tho commission would be nblo to
keep closer track on tho small con
tractor who is dodging the law.
Another great drnwbnck with the
present manner of collections is the
manner of "coaxing" the remittances
from the people that have boon so un
fortunate as to have been numbered on
the original list as coming under the
head of employers of labor under a
hazard. I have known cases where the
inrty in question has not employed
lelp for years and yet has received a
notice under the attorney general's
form stating that ho is required to pny
the commission the sum of twenty-five
dollars, and I know of cases where
this amount has actually been paid er '
where the commission have written
back that the amount will be credited
to his account should he nt any future
time engngo in this occupation.
Of course we all realize that the law
is in its crude form and thnt no doubt
in time it will ad iust Itself to tho con
ditions of this state, but I fi
lieve thnt in order to make it a success
in Oregon that some system will have
to be worked out whereby a closer
rheck will be kept on construction work
throughout tho state and where report
will Lave to be undo tho comminsion
before protection will be allowed on a
contrnot or building and in caso the
same is not applied for and no report
has been received by the nec.l''
mission the BartT onnrttt.no will ha de
prived of all protection, of course some
of you will say that the expense of
Xeeplrg a representative on the ground
the dark; and only little was heard
from San Francisco boosters. All dele
gations nevertheless were rooting hard
though quietly. June 12 or 19 seem
ed the likely date for the convention.
That the committee will decide on
renoniination of President Wilson by
ncclamation was unquestioned. The op
position to Vice-President Marshall as
his running mate, however, seemed
crystallized into a definite plan.
Hearing for suffrage and anti-suffrage
delegations, contesting delegations
for convention city, aud others prom
ised to delay the "balloting for the city.
Early indications pointed to settle
ment of the fight for seating of an Or
egon delegate by the selection of H. M.
Easterly against Will R. King. Holla
Wells, of St. Louis, consented to re
main treasurer until tho convention
convenes.
Though offering $100,000 for the
convention and though Senator Phelan
and others, put up a valiant fight for
it, San Francisco had the argument of
distance from centers of population to
overcome. St. Louis argued that, with
hotel, railroad, and wire facilities equal
to 'Chicago's. St. Louis had the ad
vantage of possessing a better conven
tion hall.
Moreover, the St.' Louis delegation
argued that thero would be a better
chance of making Missouri democratic
if the convention went to St. Louis,

Homer Davenport
Monument Fund Has
Not Been Increased
Several Sjlverton people have asked
the Capital Journal recently regarding
the status of the Homer Davenport
monument fund. Ex-Governor West,
who is treasurer of this fund, was
communicated with and his reply wbb
as follows: -
"A small amount of money was col
lected by Phil Botes and others and
turned over to me ns treasurer. It is on
deposit in Ladd & Bush's bank in the
name of "Homer Davenport Monu
ment Fund." If you will call at the
bank, using this letter as your author
ity, you can learn as to tho amount in
the fund."
At the Ladd & Bush bank it was
learned that there was $57 in the fund
referred to by the former governor and
that seems to be tho total amount
raised.
Nothing soems to have been done to
promote the movement since it was
started with .the initial subscriptions
as made. .
