CISE.

Oregon government will be made
over from top to bottom if the voters
of the state next November approve
a voluminous amendment to the con-
stitution now being sent out by the
peoples power league, which has
been framed by W. S. U'Ren, of Ore
gon City and associates. Here are
some of the most startling changes
proposed.
Cabinet system of government for
the state with state business mana
ger on big salary to take general
charge.
Governor and state auditor the
only state officers to be elected by
the people, others being appointed by
the governor.
Sheriffs and district attorneys to
be appointed by the governor.
Board of three directors" to rule
in county government and employ a
county business manager, the latter
to appoint other county officers.
State senate to be abolished
Sixty members of Legislature to be
elected by proportional representa-
tion by the state at large.
Members of the legislature to hold
power on roll call in voting in pro-
portion to the vote they received al
the election.
Governor and defeated candidate
for governor to be ex-otficio members
of legislature and hold large voting
power therein.
Entire legislature may be recalled
and activities suspended pending the
recall vote.

THE FIRST PASSENGER ELEVATOR.

The first electric passenger elevator Made in Oregon will be
installed in the new Masonic temple at Salem.
The Masonic order deserves commentator for being loyal to
the Oregon industries giving the preference to home pro-
duct
The Portland Elevator has made and installed many
freight elevators in this state but this is the first modern pas
senger lift
The nearest elevator factory is San Francisco and Yonkers
New York. the latter supplying most passenger elevators
When eastern elevator is put into modern Oregon building
about 85 per cent of the cost goes East and stays there
Five per cent goes in commissions and really only the
cost of assembling and installing remains in Oregon
The money sent East for machinery and building materials
gets back here and the dollar spent here revoves here con-
tnualy
The campaign to keep twenty million dollars in Oregon that
has been going East for things that be made here
good one.
Every fine modern building erected in Oregon should be equip
ped with "Made in Oregon" passenger elevator

A resolution was passed in which
1t was declared to be the sense of

Robert M. La Toilette triumphed

Monday at Wabasso. Paul Gala
CHAN was chairman.
Had there been no fight made on

Plenty of Thrills
But the fight was made and there
were thrills enough.
In the end the Roosevelt men won
out. A. +. Henderson, A. d. Stew
art and A. H. Emerson led the fight
against giving Roosevelt anything.

choice. Roosevelt, Of course, was Mr..

MONEY OUTLOOK
PLEASES BANKER
III. A. Baldwin Says Financial
Situation in Redwood
County is Good
LOOKS LIKE NEW RECORD CROP
Thinks More Threshins Ma
chimes will be Needed to
Care for Grain

H. Al. Baldwin, president of the
First National Bank Of this city said,
while speaking of the present finan-
ciai situation in Redwood county:
The demand for money is strong
and the paper offered as security is
exceptionally plentiful and good.
:'The heavey demand for money
from the merchants is largely due to
their desire to take advantage Of
discounts by paying cash for goods
in anticipation of the promising
crops this year while the agricultur-
ial demand is prompted by the pre-
valent desire to improve farms, by
erecting new buildings. drainage,
fences, silos, and more adequate
equipment while there is a very
marked and growing desire by far
mers to increase the quality Of their
stock
Practically all Notes Good
Mr.. Baldwin said that SO per cent.
of all notes taken today are good
and attributes this condition to the
high sense of honor and appreciation
of business which this community
feels and observes.
THE Redwood county farmers"
says Mr.. Baldwin, represent the
higher type of husbandmen because
of their industrious and successful
achievement along modern agricul-
tural lines. The Redwood county
farmer spares no money in pnrehas-
ing the best quality grain for seed.
He is constantly seeking the best
grain and informing himself on up
