Because the report of the special
committee of the council, appointed
to act upon the proposition Of secur-
ing an offer from the Salem Water
company for the transfer to the city
of its water system, in accordance
with the vote of people favoring the
city ownership of this utility, con-
tained provisions whereby the COM
pany demanded that the city pay the
taxes upon its water rights and pow
ers during the optional period of
three years specified in which the
city is to lease such water power and
rights at $4,000 per year, after
which time the city may purchase
such power and rights for 100000;
and because the company made no
allowance for the deduction of the
original price of appraisement of the
physical value of the system in com
putting the cost of betterments aud
improvements and the actual cost of
such betterment and improvement,

opened between the city and the
company under the extension"

council last evening declined to ac-
cept the draft of ordinance offered
by the special committee and the
matter was re-referred TO the COM
mittee with instructions to secure
clearer and more detailed report up
on these conditions.
The matter came up when under
the order of reports of special COM
mittees, Chairman Elliott, Of the
committee appointed to negotiate
with the water company relative TO
the purchase of the water plant, sub
mitted the report of the committee
which contained the last offer of the
company, which was, in substance,
that the company would sell its

This matter came up before the
council at last nights meeting for
the 'steenth time swhen the second
or third set of bids were received
for the construction of the North
Salem sewer, which has been pend

specifications for the city, and placed
the probable cost at S62, 900. The

yet the assemblyites are endeav-
loring to destroy this, the states great
est asset. Every vote for an assembly
nominee is an inferential confession
that the voter is unable to select his
public servant, or pass intelligently
on legislation. After voting the as
sembly ticket he should Immediately
go TO the county court and ask for a
guardian for his business or property
as his vote for an assembly nominee
is virtual confession of his incom-
petence, and his mental paresis might
apply to business.
In addition to the expenditures /
have mentioned in behalf of the per-
petuation and extension of Oregon )
popular government laws, the only
money l have spent for political pur-
poses since this campaign began was
$20 which l paid for a half-page ad-
vertisement in the State Fair Pro-
gram, urging the defeat of every as
sembly nominee.
This explanation regarding my ex-
penditures is sufficient answer to the
malicious charge that progressive
newspapers and progressive candi-
dates have been subsidized by me. A
poor, warped intellect or purely sell
fish heroism can't seem to realize that
the truth or the retention of demon
strated improvement in government
need no slush fund where the people
are concerned and have direct voice
as they still do in Oregon.
Neither myself nor any other indi-
vidual is or can be the chief issue in
his campaign. The question involved
is whether the people shall retain
their power to select their candidates
or shall delegate that power to a con-
vention under the name of assem-
bly," chosen and manipulated by po-
litical bosses representing special in
terests and antagonistic to all pro-
gressive laws and all extension of the
system of popular government.
"The people of Oregon are on trial
They have the best system of popular
government in the world, notwith-

clare that Oregon is the fool of the

Worker" said an actor who has played
in many Of the Fitch comedies.
when he had a play on the stocks
he would labor over it day and night,
often scarcely pausing for his meals,
and getting very little sleep. Conse-
quently his health suffered. He
would work until on the verge of a
nervous breakdown, and then his pny-
stefan would step in and force him to
knock off.
During one Of these periods OF en-
forced idleness he was lounging in The
Players club one day when Harry 2,
Smith, the prolific comic opera libret-
fist, strolled in.
"'What are vow doing now?' asked
Smith.
"T'm in my doctur's hands, replied
Fitch. He tells me I'm in bad way,
and has absolutely forbidden me to do
any brain work
That's tough" said Smith. How

GEORGE v. ON
THRONE OF BRITAIN

was born. He was the second child
as well as the second son of the late
King Edward and Dowager Queen AL
exandra, then Prince and Princess of
Wales. The Duke of Clarence was his
elder by seventeen months, and the
two boys grew up close companions.
The father, with an eye to fitting
them for responsibilities at the head of
seafaring nation, dedicated them
both to the navy. They were both en-
tered in the service as cadets in 1877,
when the present king was only
twelve years old.
George and his brother entered the
naval service together and served as
cadets, being treated much the same
as are other embryo officers. George,
however, made regular profession of
the navy, and was gradually promoted
until, within few weeks of his mar
rage, he had reached the rank of
captain. In this service he took all the
hard knocks to which the sailor must
use himself, and his readiness to do
his share of the rough work won him
the intense admiration of officers and
men alike.
1t was on January IA, 1892, that
George came into the direct line of
succession to the throne, for on that
day his brother, the Duke of Clarence,
died of influenza. Up to this time he
had been merely Prince George and,
constitutionally speaking, commoner,
as are all members of the royal family
until admitted to the house of lords.
The question then arose as to what
title he should be given. 1t was de-
| cided that of all royal dukedoms that
of Duke of York was most fitting for
an heir apparent, since it dated from
the time of Edward Ill, and had al
ways been allotted to the second son
of the sovereign until Queen Victoria
broke the custom by creating her sec
ond son Duke of Edinburgh. So Prince
George, as heir apparent, became Duke
Of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron
Killarney. On the accession of his
father to the throne in 1901 he became
! Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and
York and Duke of Rothesay in Scot
land.
Although the propriety of a wedding
between George and Princess May was
questioned in some quarters, the voice
Of the critics was lost in the general
burst of approval from the people.
Princess May at that time was ex-
tremely popular, while George himself
was much more popular than he has
been since. The English people well
coined the idea of a union between
these two, and the marriage took place
in the royal chapel of st. James on
July 6, 1893, amid general rejoicing in
England and the colonies.
Six children have sprung from this
union. Prince Edward Albert, the eld-
est of the family, was born in 1894. He
is now next in succession to the throne
anG will probably be created Prince
of Wales almost Immediately. The
other children and the dates of their
birth are: Prince Albert Frederick,
1895; Princess Victoria Mary, 1897;
Prince Henry William, 1900; Prince
George Edward, 1905, and Prince John
Charles.
