on the official ballot No. 500 and
SO7 is law to change the date of
state elections in Oregon from the
present date on the first Monday in
June, to the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November to cores
pond with the presidential election.
This change would save the state of
oregon an enormous sum in election
expenses and should be passed
Nos. 312 and 31S is to appropriate
money for armories in Oregon and
should be passed.
Nos. S14 and S15 will be the uni
versity appropriation bill and should
be passed by all means for the honor
of Oregon.
Nos. S16 and 81 is the woman suf-
frage amendment, giving the mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters of Oregon
voters voice in the state government
and should pass by an overwhelming
vote.
Nos. 500 and 321 on the official ball
lot is an especially obnoxious measure
proposed by certain immoral elements
in the state to take away the charter
making power from the people of cities
and towns and place this power again
in the hands of the legislature. This
is an especially vicious law and must
be voted down. Vote mo" in big let
ters' on this number.
Nos, S22 and 323 is the tax reform
measure and removes taxation from
all implements, livestock, furniture
manufacturing plants, tools, machin-
cry, and other movable property and
places it largely upon land. This
measure must be thoughtfully studied
as it revolutionizes the system of as
sessment and taxation in Oregon.
Nos. S24 and 1926 is the recall meas
ure by which voters and taxpayers
may recall a dishonest official from
office and should be passed by all
means.
Nos. S26 and 327 enacts statement
No. ! and the popular election of Unit
ed states senators into law. Vote
yes" and urge every friend of popu-
lar government to do so.
Nos. S2S and S29 is the proportional
representation bill by which each
ps rty would have proportion of the
legislators according to their total
vote in the state. 1t should be passed.
Nos. 93O and SS1 is the Huntley
corrupt practice bill and would pre-
vent corruption in elections and should
be a law.
No. 334 and 335 provides that
criminal shall not be indicted by the
district attorney and that only a grand
jury should have this authority, ex-
cept that a district attorney should
be allowed to file an amended indict-
ment where mistake had been made
in the original.
This measure is worthy of the most
earnest consideration of the voters, as
it involves a principle of law and
justice which is fundamental in gov-
ernment. Think of it before voting.
Let US preserve the integrity of the
initiative and referendum by voting
right and intelligently on every meas
ure proposed. 1t is the citizens duty
to study government and this is the
most effective method of inducing
study. Read your little book through
several times if necessary to an intel.
Invent vote on any law printed in 1t.

From Northern China. Every fam
lily has few pairs OF human hair
stockings there. They are worn over
the cotton stockings-they are too
prickly to be worn next the skin

lifetime.
"The Chinese exporter who sold
me these stockings said when a

China the hair is preserved in spe-
cial hair box of lacquer. AS soon as
the box is full enough the hair is ta-
