]. w. Mal0ney Makes Open Statement
to Voters of the County.

If J. W. Maloney is elected county
judge he will obey the state law
which requires that the county court
publish detailed statements showing
the expenditures made by the court.
From the very opening of his cam
paign Mr.. Maloney has privately de-
olared his intention of following this
law if elected and Monday he made
the following open statement of his
position:
Pendleton, Ore, Dot. "a. 1910.
To the Voters of Umatilla County:
| have been asked by many what
my attitude would be in the event of
my election in regard to the law which
provides that the county court shall
publish itemized statements of the ex
penses of the county at regular inter-
vals. In reply to this inquiry I Reg
to say that | shall strictly comply with
this statute. I believe the law is a
good one and that it should be en-
forced. hold that no officer or set of
officers has the power to annul law
as has been done by the present coun-
ty judge, and if l am elected to the
office of county judge | shall endeavor
to comply will all the laws pertaining
to the office. Yours truly,
J. w. MALONEY.

Vote for the NOrmals,

The whole function of the Normal
school is to train and educate teachers
ALI grant the absolute need OF this
work. The state has three schools.
one at Monmouth, one at Weston and
one at Ashland. This property is
owned by the State, and controlled by
one Board of Regents.
These initiative bills take the ques-
tion out of politics entirely, and this
is as it should te. We speak direct
ly of Monmouth; this school is GEN.
trally located and the work done by
Pres. Campbell and Prof. Ressler is
sufficient guarantee of the quality of
its students.
If you pay taxes on 100000 it will
cost you only four cents year to ope-
rate this school. This gives the chill
dren of the parents of moderate means
an equal chance with those who are
abls to send their children to schools
provided with special instructors.
The welfare of your child and the
interests Of the public school, that
great leveler and bulwaik of our ma
tion, warrants you in voting Yes on
No. 31s. Paid Ad.

Mrs. V. 0. Kelly of Freewater, was
drowned Sunday in the Little Walla
Walla river. The parents live on the
banks Of the river. and the children

was fishing in the river in that vioin-

dra wing the same toward the shore
found it was fast In the dress of the
little boy. He pulled his sad burden
out of the river and made bis way to
the home of the parents, giving them
the first intimation that their boy was
Goth missing and dead. A physician
was called and said the little one, on
falling, must have struck upon stone
which stunned him.

SHOWS REAL ISSUE
Oswald West Saws Corporations VS..
People"-Gets Ovation All
Along the Line.

In his tour through Southern Ore
gen, Oswald West has met with con
tinuous ovation all along the line.
Everywhere he was given royal
greeting and is certain of carrying
that part of the state by large vote.
The lack of enthusiasm which accom-
pauied Bowerman's visit week ago
was brought out in sharp contrast by
the welcome extended West.
Recently it was through the efforts
of West and his associates that rates
on the Southern Pacific were ordered
reduced which when placed in effect
will save the business men of those
counties many thousands of dollars
each year. This is appreciated and
contributed to the enthusiasm with
which he was received.
''The real ISSUE" says Mr.. West,
lis not whether l collected mileage
and turned it into the state treasury,
as the records show, or whether Mr..
Bowerman collected mileage as state
senator and at the same time rode on
Hartman pass, but whether the COR
rorations or the people shall rule this
state"
He proceeds to show how the cor
porations plans oulminated in the
republican assembly, the ultimate OBJ
ject being the overthrow of Statement
No. l, the direct primary and the in
itiative and referendum. First. the
corporations sought to organize the
legislature, and and helped Bowerman
to Ee president of the senate. Then
they tried to pass the Bean Brooke
bill, which would have made it mis-
demeanor to take Statement No. |.
Next. they tried to pnss the Mariner
bill. which would have legalized the
assembly. Then came the assembly,
without waiting to have it legalized.
and the nomination of Bowerman to
lead the attack.

municipal taxpayer than do state and national issues.
 Commenting upon the proposi- tion a contemporary inquiries: "These ventures lead one to ask what is the coming paper to be? Will it be published by the muni- cipality and controlled by the people? All realize now that the great dailies are so dependent on Big Business that few if any of them can reflect the true interests of the people"
 The inquiry and suggestion fol- lowing are hard to answer. The great modern daily newspaper of the day is so expensive an affair, requires so large a capital invested in plant and cost of operation that the conduct of one seems within the reach only of Big Business" And for the sake of influencing public opinion Big Business" can afford to lose money on great newspaper venture, recouping the the loss elsewhere-or saving a greater loss, as have the copper mining interests in Arizona in heading off taxation of producing mines. And in that way the news papers controlled by Big Busi- ness" can be made so much better than those journals which have to depend upon public patronage alone that they get the circulation and with the circulation the ad- vertising patronage. Yet they gradually lose their influence. As business ventures they may be sue cessful; but to carry any project they can do better by opposing it So well is this condition becoming understood that the public have taken to discounting the views ot the great dailies, and look else where for their information or public matters. It is this fact that accounts for the widespread cir culation and influence of such periodicals as "The Commoner,' "La Follette's Magazine" etc.

MUNICIPAL NEWSPAPERS.

Taking a leaf from the journal of the predatory interests" which control and have conducted in their own behalf nearly all the great daily newspapers of the country and many of the smaller ones, some of the municipalities of the land are beginning publication of newspapers of their own, devoted to posting the taxpaying public upon municipal matters. The city of Denver some time ago began the the publication of paper called Municipal Facts" This paper is published by the city and treats of matters pertaining 10 the city's finances and policies. It is de- livered free to all taxpayers who request it. The delivery is made by carriers every Saturday morn ing, the publication being weekly.
 Progressive Houston" is a monthly issued by the city of Houston, Texas, and like the Den yer publication deals with munich pal finances, the progress of munich pal work that has been undertaken and editorial comment on plans for the future. It is paid for by the city administration.
 Municipal Record" is publi- cation gotten out by the city gov ernment of San Francisco, but un- like the others mentioned above it has a subscription price. It moi only gives statistics covering city finances, but discusses public own, ership and other municipal func tions and powers.
 Philadelphia has also entered this field and Boston has a pape that deals solely with finances
 The idea seems spreading and i will not be long when every city o any consequence will have som, such periodical as those mentioned to keep constantly before thei people the condition of their muni cipal affairs, which touch nor closely the interest of the averag
