AN EXPONENT OF GOOD ROADS
Philip S. Bates Interesting Farmers
and Soliciting Votes.

Philip S. Bates. secretary of the
State Threshermen's Association, is
canvassing the county in the interest
of the good roads bill and is soliciting
farmers to cast their votes for the
same at the coming election.
"Vote yes for 354 aud make possible
the construction of permanent roads in
every county of the state" is his
slogan.
The amendment for which Bates is
working will give the people of each
county chance to bond themselves
for the construction OF roads, if they
desire. 1t does not make it imperative
since the proposition in each county
will be left to vote of the people re-
siding in the connty.
There are sixteen counties in the
state which are anxious to issue bonds
for the building Of roads but under
the present constitution they are not
permitted to do 80. Mr.. Bates ex-
plains that the purpose Of this hill Is
simply to give these sixteen counties
and such others as may desire later,
chance to issue bonds and construct
permanent highways, which shall be
paid for partly by the people of this
generation and partly by those of the
next, thereby distributing the burden
equally among those who get the ken-
ef1ts from the Improvement.
The proposition was endorsed by the
Oregon state grange in the following
language:
Whereas, The most important ques-
tion Of interest to farmers under CON
sideration today is the tuildlng of per-
manent public highways in order to
lessen the cost of farm produce to the
nearest market. therefore. be it
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
any proposal to remove any constitu-
tional restrictions on the peoples
power to obtain and pay for good
roads.
Adopted by the OREGON state grange
May II, 1910.

WRITE CANDIDATES NAMES
Notice to Democratic Central Commit
teemen of Umatilla County.

Pendleton. Ore. Sept. 81. 1910.
To the Democratic Central Commit
teemen of Umatilla County:
Gentlemen:
Since we have no candidates by pc
tition for the offices hereinafter named
and we should have a full ticket nom
mated at the primary election on the
oath inst. kindly let the "boys" in
your several precincts know that il
the following names are written on the
ballot with an tx" marked before the
name, and the parties nominated. most
of them. il not all, will accept and
make the race:
For joint representative, Umatilla
and Morrow counties, Ben Hill.
For the legislature, Umatilla coun-
ty. J. T. Lieuallen and Will Moore.
For joint state senators, Umatilla.
Union and Morrow counties, M. X.
Hall.
For county clerk. w. D. Chamber
lain.
For treasurer, L. j. Tweedy.
For recorder, Tom Robertson.
For coroner. B. K. Monkman.
For surveyor, John r., English.
For congress, second congressional
district, Harry Lane or John Manning
And, since we have only two candi-
dates for supreme judge the democrats
who do no care to vote for Frank A.
Moore. H. J. Bean and Thomas A.
Mcbride. republican candidates,
might consider the names of Col.
James Fl. Raley and Judge Alfred s.
Bennett. COL Raley is not only one
of the shrewdest and wisest democrat
ic politicians in the state of Oregon,
but his legal ability and special quail
ifications fol- supreme judge are not
excelled; in fact. few men III the state
of Oregon are so well qualified and
spendidly equipped for this high
judicial position in every way as he is.
Judge Bennett is the equal of Col.
Raley. and these two men on the SUI
preme bench would certainly help to
make the court one of the very strong
est in the United States.
If the democrats in the several pre-
cincts prefer to write in the names of
Others on the ballot and nominate
them. it is not only their privilege but
their duty to do so. The above names
do not constitute "slate," are not
tie product of any assembly or con-
vention, and there is not even a moral
obligation on the part of any democrat
to write their names on the ballot II
they prefer not to do SO.
The democratic party must, at all
times. strictly comply with the direct
primary law and not in any manner by
subterfuge or fraud, circumysnt it ia
the least.

Chairman.

everything" said an official of the
Union Stock Yards company in answer
to the dairy commissioners attack at
Salem. "He simply doesn't know what
he is talking about. He never comes
down here. If he did he would know
that approximately cent more a
pound is being paid today than year

little slumps of the market. but they
have never been serious.

National Bankers Yield to Postal
Savings Plan

Very likely the passage by one
house of Congress Of the postal saw
ings bank measure advocated by
President Taft, caused the American
Bankers Association to realize that
the chances are very great that Con-
gress will pass and the President will
approve a measure by which the saw
ings banks may be established all
over the United States through the
utilization of the postofices At all
events, the meeting of the executive
committee, which is really the work
ing part of the American Bankers
Association, at Atlantic City a day
which took place at that meeting,
were almost entirely occupied with
this matter.
Congress has permitted the ma
tional banks of the United States,
excepting in some of the larger
cities, to establish savings banks de-
partments. This permission has been
wisely accepted, especially in the
South, and in some parts of the
Southwest. The national banks find
almost as profitable a business in the
operation of their savings banks de-
partment as in the regular opera
lions of their commercial depart
ments. Now, the national bankers in
these parts of the country have been
very apprehensive lest the authori-
zation Of postal savings banks would
cause the national banks which oper-
ate savings departments to lose that
business. No public announcement
has been made of the nature of the
discussion of the executive commit
tee at the Atlantic City meeting.
And until publication in this column,
there has been no announcement of
the decision of the executive COM

Well, | did then as I shall now do

the attractions of the country-the
unfailing source of womanly women
and manly men-talk about those
things which make for the upbuild-
ing of people and a country.
Did I not tell you, in the outset,
that in these 'Walks and Talks, I
purposed to have great liberty of
speech as we'll as wealth of subjects?
I may, from time to time, seem to
be noticeably at the front, but that
will be in the seeming only. I may
take occasion to tell how much good
reading can be done by country girls
and boys, and, in doing so, give my
individual experience in reading by
the watch.
Understand. I am not to lecture
anybody. Rather give you the bene-
fit of lectures to which I had the in
describable pleasure of listening.
That recalls a lecture heard in
Clara's Hall, Augusta, when I was
in my early teens. William Curran
Derry, Jesse Ansley. D. B. Plumb,
and gentlemen of that stamp, were
at the head of the then Y. M. G.. A.,
and arranged for series of lectures
on winter nights. The first lecturer
on the boards was the distinguished
and eloquent DR.. H. H. Tucker whose
subject was, Beauty Duty" I re-
member the speaker and the occa-
sion, the lecture, also, as though it
were an incident of last night.
DR.. Tucker stressed the impor-
lance of systematic reading and study
pointing out the developing effect
of contact with good books; the
Strengthening influence of historical
reading. the soothing and uplifting
effect of poetry, the encouraging ma
ture of studies in biography These
could not have any effect other than
to lift one up and set his feet upon
rock and establish his goings These
could not fail to expand the intellect
and tone the features down until
ones cOuntenance became beautiful
hence, he argued that it was the
duty of everybody to be beautiful.
The next number brought Charles
Wallace Howard, one of the most
scholarly men of that day of illus
trious men, to the front His sub
ject was, "The Life and Character
of General James Oglehorpe." I can
see Mr. Wallace now, and I hear his

REGISTER OF 1910
ALONE ACCEPTED
Those Who Sign Candidates
Petitions Must Have En-
rolled Their Names

That the registration of 1910 is the
only registration list that may be used
in signing candidates nomination
papers for the primary election next
August. is the decision of the supreme
cosrt in the appeal taken on behalf of
the city and county of Los Angeles by
the district attorney in the case of
Grieb against Zemansky.
The supreme court rendered a deci-
sion February II to the effect that
nomination papers must be Signed by
voters who had subscribed to the 1910
register, which decision was held by
the Los Angeles county district attor-
ney to discriminate against those can
didates who had already filed nomina =
tion papers signed by voters registered
before the opening Of the 1910 register
and a rehearing of the case was asked.
The rehearing was denied by the su-
preme court yesterday.
According to this decision it will be
necessary for all candidates who have
already filed nomination papers to Sc
cure new signerS and file new papers
in order that they may be eligible at
the next August primaries. In its de-
cision the court held that, from the
fact that the primary election does not
take place until August, sufficient time
is allowed for candidates to avail them
selves of the signatures of voters, reg
istered under the latest register.
