"She hath a rlbald tongue. even for

Mechanically l gave my name in an

ANorHER INIouIToUs MEAsURE.

Among the many U'Ren measures
to be submitted to the people of Ore
gon at the November election is one
to amend Section 2 of the Direct Pri-
mary law This particular measure
is so iniquitous that we herewith pre-
sent a few of its provisions for the
consideration of the voters of Polk
County.
The proposed bill provides that del
egates to the National conventions
shall hereafter be elected under the
Direct Primary, and it further pro-
vides for a change of the date of the
primary election in Presidential years.
According to its provisions, the pri-
mary nominating election shall be
held in September, excepting in the
years when a President and Vice
President of the United States are to
be elected. AS National conventions
are usually held in late June or early
July, it Is proposed to hold the prima-
ry in Presidential election years As
days before the first Monday in June.
1t will readily be seen that an ar
whereby primaries would
be held in September in certain years
and in April in others would cause
endless confusion among the voters
and would upset the state campaigns
This feature of the proposed |
law alone is enough to condemn 1t, but |
it is not as Objectionable as the one |
which follows:
Section d provides that every dele
gate to a National convention shall re-
ceiye from the State treasury the
amount of his railroad fare, hotel bills,
and other necessary travelling expens
es In other words the taxpayers
would be called upon to foot the bill
FOR 'junketing trip" for 25 or 80 del
sgates, which would amount to some
5000 or $4,000.
From time out of mind, it has been
he custom for delegates to a National
to pay their own travelling
expenses, just as the delegates to a
county or state convention pay theirs.
capable men can always be found who
consider the honor of representing !
heir state in a National convention !
efficient compensation for any ex- !
ense incurred in making the trip. To {
addle this expense on the taxpayers ]
f the state would be nothing less
han willful extravaganza. I
This bill is another of the impracti-
able, expensive U'Ren measures that Y
eserves defeat at the hands of the I
Oters OF Oregon. /

SHEEP PROTECT FORESTS
Consume Grass and Prevent Spread of
Fire in Timber.

Sheep raising has in many cases
been found very effective in preventing
forest fires in the national forests. BY
consuming the grasses and other for
age which naturally carry the fire
across the open ridges from one body
of timber to another, grazing performs
what was formerly accomplished by
yearly burning and without the bad
results of the latter. 1t is not neces-

vent forest fires.
Grazing il in a conservative man.
ner which insures a full utilization of
the forage crop is sufficient On the
most important grazing areas in ma
tional forests. which are usually locat-
ed in the yellow pine regions, the ef-
feet of grazing as a fire preventive is
said to have been conclusively shown.
The usual fires of the pine country are
what are known as grass fires These
do considerable damage to large tim
ber, but are most Injurious to the
young growth, whose thin bark can
hui NithStdhu even the neat OF
slight grass fire. The absence, through
grazing. of grass and other forage
which forms fuel for ground fires, pre-
cludes any danger to this class of tim
ber.
Sheep trails and driveways are usu-
ally laid of on the SUBMITS of the
mountains, which are the natural
roads for ingress and egress to the
sheep ranges on the national forests. |
These trails make ideal fire lines. Since /
many thousands Of sheep pass over
them yearly they are devoid of grass
or small growth. and being OF suffi- /
cient width to prevent fires from cross
ing them, as well as being located on
the crest OF the ridges. they form ideal /
places from which to attack a fire.
In some cases sheep grazing has in
jured young growth and il has been
necessary to restrict il In such places.

pine timber has not proven undesira-
