Capital and Labor.

"The people, too. would like to have
think. a complete explanation OF
the basic reasons for your change of
front in the last Legislature, upon the
Dimick bill looking toward improved
conditions in the Oregon City paper
mills. Men are now thinking of Law
renee, Mass. If you found justifica-
ton in placing the interests of capital
above labor then, is it not fair to con-
clude that you will do the same thing
ip the federal senate?
1.-The land owners of the state would
like to listen to your eloquence upon
the very vital subject of the single
tax; and upon the moral responsibility
of the Peoples Power league. of
which you have long been president,
for the adoption of that mistaken con-
stitutionai amendJnent which makes
the danger of the single tax in our
counties a very imminent one.
Never do l permit political differ
ences to interfere with my personal
relations with men, and / guarantee
YOU courteous treatment. Let us not
take ourselves too seriously. There
is no monumental demand for the
services of either you, or me, or Nor
ton. or Bourne. We are all candidates
however, and we have right to be
candidates, the Oregonian to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding as to Bourne,
Morton and myself. We are al ask
ing support for an exalted position.

estly and without deceit"

GRANGE To INITIATE
OWN HIGHWAY BILL

Portland, Ore. Mar. 5.-Despite
the efforts toward harmony in the
good roads" movement, the interests
included have failed to come to a
satisfactory understanding on the
question, and the Oregon state Grange
has decided to initiate the bills it has
prepared irrespective of the attitude
of the harmony" committee.
The following communication ad-
dressed to Governor West by c. e
Spence, master of the oregon State
Grange, sets forth the position of
the grange on the good roads" ques-
tion
II met with the good roads har-
mony committee and endeavored to
eliminate the Objectionable features in
the proposed good roads bills. Four of
the bills proposed by the so-called
highway committee were materially
changed and the grange highway en-
gineer bill was adopted. As stated in
the letter sent you yesterday by the
harmony committee. We could not
agree on the state aid bill of the
committee and the grange county
bonding act. The majority of the
harmony conlnlllee agreed 10 accept
the grange county bonding bill on
conditions that the grange indorse the
four bills proposed by the state high
wav committee as amended by the
harmony committee and 1t YVES fur
ther agreed that the proposition be
| submitted to the next session of the
state grange which will meet in May
next. We are informed today by the
chairman of the harmony committee
| that the agreement made with us had
been reconsidered and it was decided
by three members of the committee
that no county bonding act was ne
cessary to put into effect the amend
ment to the constitution permitting
counties to incur Indebtedness fol
road building, and they had decided
not to indorse the grange county
bonding bill and that they would
aropt the grange highway engineer
bin IL drawn satisfactory to them.
Therefore we seem to be as fal
apart as ever upon the questions a
issue. namely, in whom the power tt
select the roads to be improved shal
be vested and under whose supervi
sion the funds shall be expended. I'm
der these conditions we feel justified
in proceeding to initiate the grang
good roads bills as now prepared"

WILL NOT
DEBATE WITH LOWELL
CHALLENGE OF LOCAL MAN
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
He Cannot Spare the Time Neces-
sary for Joint Discussion of Issues.

Portland Ore, Mar. 5.-Challenge
| to joint debate is made by Stephen A.
Lowell of Pendleton to Ben Selling.
| Both are, candidates for the United
States senate. There will be no joint
debate, however, as Mr.. Selling yes
terday stated that while he has not
received the challenge of his eastern
Oregon rival, he cannot spare the time
to debate from the demands made up
on him at his headquarters in this
city.
Lowe.Ps challenge is contained in
an open letter addressed to Selling in
which he says in part:
Permit me to extend to you an in
vitation to join me in a campaign of
the state, to the end that the repub-
lican voters may know and consider
our respective views upon the issues
of the day, and may choose between
us with full knowledge of the capacity
of each. Mr.. Bourne long since de-
clined like invitation, but / hope you
will not follow his lead. We will in

likewise desirous of succeeding
Bourne at Washington, and the sever

fices as well. By pooling funds all
can keep within the limitation of the
corrupt practices act, and each will
have an opportunity to meet and ad-
dress the people upon public issues.

81 would be pleased to discuss with
you in the larger centers of popula-
tion the serious national problems
which demand solution. and upon
seeking that honor, must have decid-
ed views, in accord alike with sound
judgment and public sentiment. / as
sumo that you have thought these
questions out, and are ready to pro-
claim your opinions and to defend
them. 1t is best thus; otherwise I
think your candidacy a mistake both
for you and the state.
"You are reputed to have expended
on the eve of the formal announce
ment of your candidacy from $4,000
to $1,000 in circularizing the state,
postage, stationery, printing and cler-
ical work, while the corrupt practices
act, a law which every good citizen
is bound to obey in spirit as we'll as
letter, provides a limit of Is per cent
of the first years salary, which in
your case would amount to $1125
only. If your expenditure of $4,000 is
within the law, what is there to pre-
vent some man whose wealth happens
to be ten times as great as yours,
from spending under like circum-
stances $4,000, and is not the law
by your procedure deliberately assas-
sinated?

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermiS
where the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
