THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations VOTING ON BALLOT MEASURES. " The Capital Journal cannot see where a voter will make any serious mistake if he votes "no" on all the measures placed on the ballot by initiative or referendum. Of course, there may be a difference of opinion on this matter, but we believe that view will be quite generally taken. For instance, this is no time to establish new nor mal schools and it was the poorest of Judgment on the part of the state school ring to force the issue now. Then there is the $940,000 appropriation referred to the peo ple by the tax commission. It is mainly to pay for the state military police ($250,000), the state council of de fense (a useless ,and extravagant body) and to make up various deficiencies in. the budgets of state institutions. If this blanket appropriation, carrvinc so much eraft and waste of public funds, is defeated the legislature should be able to take care of the state institutions and keep them going- and the taxpayers will ; save several hundred thousand dollars. The fishing bills on the ballot are mere ly local measures of no public interest. The two bills initiated by C. S. Jackson, publisher of the Oregon Daily Journal (single tax organ) in order to "even up",with the country newspaper publishers for op posing single tax measures at various times, so .it is presumed, should be snowed uncjer. These ballot numbers are .!U8 and :5iu. , r ft fin rf fVman imniciivnc! Tn Qlfl onnlre frt voimlfiffl fV.a price publishers of newspapers (outside of Multnomah county where Mr. Jackson's paper is printed), may charge for publishing legal notices. It really is of no public interest. The other Jackson bill, No, 308, repeals the law for the publication of the delinquent, tax list. It is no doubt a case where Jackson's spite is playing into the hands of the tax lien speculators, who may have paid the expen ses by initiating the bill, which was considerable. These speculators profess to think it right to sell the property of a taxpayer without giving full public notice of such sale. Their most profitable deals are made under the cover of secrecy and in collusion ' with some official around the court house who tips off the opportunities to them for a consideration. The Oregon Voter discusses this Jackson bill very intelligently, when it says: ' "That part owners or mortgage holders will have to pay fees to title companies to investigate whether taxes 1 1 1 - - Ml.! are paid upon many classes oi property is me condition that will be faced if the Jackson bill is enacted next Tues day. The bill abolishes publication of t;he delinquent tax list, and substitutes a flimsy and necessarily incomplete system of private notification by mail. "The mail notice ennnnt. reach more than one person. while there" are many pieces of property that are owned jointly, or in which an individual owns an equity. The taxes might go unpaid for niany years without such own ers ever having a chance to find out about it. Often the party receiving the mail notice would have failed to pay the taxes, and his associates in ownership would be en tirely without protection unless they engaged the services of a title company to look up the records, a service which might be expensive. Besides the actual owner of proper ty, there are holders of mortgages, purchasers under con tract, assignees of contracts, holders of unrecorded in struments, lessees and others who are interested in the payment of taxes. Mail notice would never reach these in terested parties. Under the present system of annual publication anyone can see whether the taxes are paid or ncj:; and those interested in property on which taxes have become delinquent are enabled to take proper steps for their own protection. ; Confusion, misrepresentation, delay in tax payments and cross breaches in trust are all certain to be fostered by abolishing publication and submitting the inadequate , ' Fully twenty-one hundred voters of Marion county petitioned Senator A. M. LaFollette to run for re-election as an independent candidate. These voters seemed to think that the race for the republican nomoination in the primaries, in which four men were candidates for two places, three finishing neck and neck, was not a decisive choice, hence the petition which was circulated entirely wiinout tne Knowledge oi senator LaFollette and by un paid volunteers. Afterward the formal nominatin? re tition of 300 or 400 was secured by a paid solicitor in the u&ucu way, uui, uie petition asKing tne senator to become a candidate was a personal tribute from his friends and supporters. Senator LaFollette felt that he could not con scientiously, after having been honored by the people so much, decline to accede to their wishes. That seems to be the lull story of his candidacy and the reasons leading up to it, all indicative .of the strong support he will receive at the polls. Senator LaFollette is admittedlv a hard working legislator, not always right in the opinion of many out ngnt as oiten as most of his colleagues, and always uuiiessu ami sincere in tne position ne taKes, a consider ation that makes him especially strong in the estimation ox ins constituents. But a few weeks ago the kaiser insisted on the "Dart nership with Gott" with the kaiser the senior mpmhpT nf the firm. Tuesday-he had apparently discovered the firm has been dissolved, for he stated he "would now be will ing to head a German republic or democratic monarchy patterned after that of England," and would be content to be just a figure head. Evidently there has heen light shed in the darker recesses of the Hohenzollern think tank, and the desire now is to hold his ioh and draw his salary even though deprived of all power. Of course no one can tell what the terms of peace will be until they have been agreed upon, but we will wager Withycombe's war record and super patriotism against Joe Keller's grip on the governor's affections, that they will not include any of the Hohenzollerns at the head of anything in Germany. . ;V Not long ago the kaiser grandiloquently asserted that where Germany placed her mark: there it remained and way never withdrawn."- This statement the kaiser will have to modify, for in ,the very near future when the Germans begin to leave Russia, Rumania, Turkey, Uk raine, Finland and the dozens of other countries the Hun had secured a foothold in, the way the stakes and marks will be pulled up would make an Oklahoma "Sooner" green witn envy at the record breaking movement. ni.i i . , i X Austria 'not only wants peace but she is in a hurrv to have it agreed on.

CHAPTER LXXIL . Brian really did not foel as injured as he had before, when Buth had. left him to attenj to business for the firm. But,- led on by Mollie's sympathetic questioning, he made it appear to her that he was thoroughly miserable and misunderstood. And Mollie, innocent of intent to wrong Euth, because sho thought Euth cared nothing for Brian, elso she would not bo so indifferent mado Brian think of bow much more comfortable it would have made things naa itutu oeen more like Mollio. Ho did not go So far even in his thoughts as to wish he had married Mollie instead of Euth. but he was dan gerously near such a position. 'It was so jolly to talk to Mollie. Sho al ways understood a fellow," he thought as he t sited away, saying more than he really meant, as men so often do under the same, or similar circum stances. - Mollie had reached over and laid her soft, warm hand ovor his when he told her how dreadfully lonely it was io go nome and sit alone all tho evo ning. after grinding in the office all day. It takes alp the spunk out of a man," ho had said. And Mollie had sagely agreed. Perhaps had Molho known that Bri an had dono bettor since his marriage thai before (but, even at that, he was too indolent to do his best), she might not have been quite so sympa thetic, not quite so tendor in her man ner toward him. But feeling him abused, she took a mothorly sort of an attitude whieh men always enjoy. "i'oor Urlan," she said more than once during the evening. JChd she thought "marry in haste, repent at leisure," but would not say it for fear of hurting Brian's feelings. I Xct Mollio still admired Buth, still regarded her as quite wonderful in many ways. Sho often thought of the nice dinner she had given Claude Lcck- ly and herself; of what an easy, gracious- hostess she was. She envied Buth her poise, he easy manners even under' trying circumstances. Mollie had realized that Claude Bcckly's, fa. miliarty was obnoxious to . Buth and had taken him to task on the way home for his impudence in calling her by hor first, name. l. Sho is different from our crowdl she doesn't call people by thoir firBt names. Tho idea of you telling her to call mo 'Mollie'. , I was furious!" Then, "You should havo been looking nt her when you called her 'Euth'.'! "Brian wasn't, if she was." Beckly had answered, with a hint of sarcasm. "Brian is one of us. She is not." Mollio had answered, and In that an- hswer had expressed hor fooling toward urian. no was one or mem. iney un dersiood each ' other, wcro happy do ing the samo things, visiting the sumo places. While Buth was of a different mould, although it is doubt ful if Claude Beckly were able, like Mollie, to detect that it was also a finer mould. "You don't understand, Claude. Sho has been brought 'up in the' most con ventional way. Things wo do in the village, innocent as they are, would shock her terribly. She wouldn t oh-dc-rstand us any better than you seem to understand her. You have queered our gettinsf- asked up there to dinner again, I'U bet a nickel." "I hope not!" he had returned in such a lugubrious tone that Mollie had laugl.ed heartily- and twitted hvm with earing only because of the "good feed" he might-miss. Mollie told Brian something of this conversation . with Claude. She dwolt on tho fact that Buth did not under stand any but the most conventional peoplo. Saying nothing disparaging, rnthor the opposite, but emphasizing the feeling that Buth did not caro for his friends. "I don't see how ono so conventional over came to think she could go to bus iness." "She didn't, for some time," -Brian answered, flushing a little. "But you see, Mollie, sbo had done a lot of such work la her aunt big house, a won tlerful home. Then she isn't a bit do mestic. She hates housework," he con fused t'pe hard work of the house, as do many men, with domesticity, let many of the moat domestic, home-living women do not care to be in tne kitchen all the time. "I suppose sho earns a big salai in that swell place." ' Oh, fair." "She dresses beautifully." "I don't believe she has bought a new dud since we have been married, She had clothes enough to last s life time." , "And I have two little, cheap dresses a year," Mollie wailed, pretending to bo unhappy because of it and not car ina at all. "Vku are more attractive in them" Briau stopped. He tnnst say nothing disparaging of Kuth, "I just lovo to sei you with your apron on, fussing arouii'l tho studio," he finished, flushing i:nd at the game time patting hor exnd. ' "Come and sec me often, then, Brian,'-' she said eoftly. "Yon witl finJ me inat way most of the time.'

Secretary -of - V the Interior Franklin K. Lane today P gave out the following statement: ''At the head of our state is the man whom the world looks to for guidance in this contest. To back him to. the limit and enable him to look the kaiser in the eye and tell him what the eon- science of the world commands, is our duty irrespective of party. He must not be discredited, weakened, or worried by apparent hesitation on the part of the people to generously support him. 'The kaiser knows that he is a democrat and those who have been loyal to him as the exponent of the na tion ' will fchnilld he qpti in pftntrTeaS that they may prosecute the war and lead in the groat period of reconsruc ion that is to follow a period in which. . larger consideration must be given to the needs and rights of those wfio suf fer the handicap of poverty or ignor ance than ever before. "We mnst have the impulses of sym pathy for the strugglers for those who are fighting their way up and this nmRt be controlled by a steady braia ; which will not sacrifice fibre to sen timentality.
