Reforms in the electoral ayatem III

Reforms in the electoral system of
Japan fix the property qualification at
very small sum, and the minimum
age for candidates at 80 years. There
is some discussion as to the methods Of
voting. In one bill it is provided that
each voter may hand in signed ballot
for each candidate. In Tokyo, which
would have Is representatives under
the new system, and would at the Same
time be one electoral district, every
franchise holder would cast 16 ballots.
There is no provision for minority
representations.

Reports from all over Oregon re-

that the hay crop OF the state Is in fine
condition. In fact, many declare that
it was never better. 1t is late in most
localities. but it is good everywhere.
The recent rains have not injured the
crop to any noticeable sxtent. Har-
vesting had already begun when the
rains came. but the wet weather did
not last long enough nor was the rain-
fall sufficient to hurt the hay that been
cut. The only effect it had was to de-
lay harvesting. which is already late.
