MAKE THEM ALL TAKE.

Seeing the futility of further op-
position to Statement No. /, the
would-be legislators In various parts
OF Oregon are planning to run as
statement candidates when the prim-
aries are held in April. From indi-
cations at present it appears the
Statement No. / tag will be all the
style and few will run without 1t.
This is a fortunate situation be-
cause there is particular reason why
the coming legislature should have
substantial Statement No. / majority.
A United States senator is to be elect
ed at the next session and the people
should see to 1t that they send to the
legislature only such men as Will
swear to vote for the peoples choice.
But likely there will be candidates
who will try TO avoid this issue by
saying they will abide by the law
vote for the popular choice for sena-
tor. II they are such candidates they
should be defeated. 1t is not enough
for them TO say they Will abide by
that law. The law has no penalty for
violations and 1t is also possible that
II tested the law will be declared un-
constitutional in which case tho legis-
lators could claim themselves free to
do as they pleased.
The one and only safe course for
the people TO take is to require legis-
lative candidates to subscribe to
Statement No. ]. Make them file oath
that IL elected to office they will vote
for the peoples choice. first last and
all the time, whether that choice be
a republican, democrat. a standpat-
ter OF a progressive.
Oregon has devised a plan that
does away with the old time iegisla-
tive corruption and provides in Of
feet for the election OF United States
senators by direct vote of the people.

IRON ORE IN 1911.

Preliminary estimates Of iron ore
sold in 1911 were sent to the geolog-
ical Survey by 26 Of the largest IRON
mining companies in the United
States at the close of the year. The
combined output of these companies
represents more than 80 per cent of
the total production of the United
States. From these returns 1t is esti-
mated by f. f. Burchard of the sur
vey that the total quantity of iron ore
marketed in the United States in 1911
not including stocks left at the mines,
was between 100000 and 10000
900 long tons This quantity repre-
sents a decrease of % to "a per cent
of the sales for 1910. which aggregat-
ed 56 SS9,934 long tons. The output
for 1910 was the largest quantity of
iron ore ever marketed in a single
year in the United States, and accord
ing to the present estimate the guam
tity produced in the year 1911 will
take fifth place, being exceeded by
that of 1910, 1907, 1909 and 1906 in
the order named. 1t is estimated that
of the ore produced in 1911 between
39,250 900 and 100000 long tons
was red hematite the remainder con-
sisting Of brown hematite. magnetic,
and iron carbonate ores. According
to the returns received the Lake Su-
perior district, in Minnesota, Michl-
gan and Wisconsin, apparently pro-
duced between 100000 and 35,
000, 900 long tons of red and specular
hematite, which represents a decrease

the production of 1910-46. $685. ,743
tons.
In the Birmingham district, Ala
bama, the second largest iron-mining
center, the production Of iron ore ap-
parently decreased 18 per cent from
that of 1910, the estimated production
for 1911 being between 3,5050,000
and 3,125,000 long tons, compared
with 3.S02,115 long tons In the pre-
ceding year. The ore mined In the
Birmingham d strict consists of red
and brown hematite in the proportion
OF about 4 to 1.
The production Of iron ore in Ten
nessee and Virginia apparently de-
creased only about 16 per cent, ac-
cording to reports from the principal
producers in those states.
As the production of pig iron for
1911 may exceed 23,500,00O tons, a
larger production of iron ore might
appear to be required than has been
estimated above, but it must be con-
sidered that at the close of 1910
there was 9,408,235 long tons Of iron
ore in stock at the mines in the Unit
ed States and that of this total s.
AL long tons was at the mines In
the Lake Superior district. Just how
heavily this surplus stock Of ore was
drawn upon in 1911 1t Is impossible

AIDING GOVERNOR WILSON.

Reactionary newspapers such as the
Portland Oregonian are striving hard
to belittle Governor Woodrow Wilson
and to ADVANCE Harmon's candidacy
for the democratic presidential noml-
nation. In doing this the Oregonian
is stultifying itself because at the
time Governor Wilson visited Oregon
last spring the Portland morning pa
per praised his character, his cour-
age and his craftsmanship in glowing
terms.
But the present efforts Of the Ore
gonian wont hurt the New Jersey gov
ernor. on the contrary they aid him
greatly In his campaign. The rank
and file of democrats in this state un-
questionably want a progressive nam
ed as the democratic standard bearer
and they are looking to Wilson as
such leader. The manifest attempt
Of the Oregonian to injure the Wilson
prospects and aid the Harmon boom
will only serve to strengthen demo-
cratic faith in the New Jersey man.

A woNAN's QUESTION.

There are indications that the equ-
al suffrage campaign in Oregon this
year will be waged along somewhat
different lines from the past There
is need of a change in methods.
In the past the suffrage workers
have not had the support they should
selves. For some reason the suffrage
leaders in this state have not received
enthusiastic backing from members of
the fair sex.
Perhaps such support has not been
sought. 1t is possible the leaders
have thought it best to convert the
men on the theory that the men have
the votes. But this is not the proper
course.
Those who want to enact equal suf-
frage in Oregon should first interest
the good and representative women
of the state in the subject. The wo-
men will then use their influence in
behalf of equal suffrage and we will
soon have votes for women.
The question involved in the equal
suffrage campaign is more than any
thing else one of expediency. Do the
women want to exercise the right OF
franchise? II they do they should be
allowed that privilege, No sensible
person can question the justice of CIV
ing the ballot to women nor can any.
| one question woman's ability to use
the right OF franchise properly.
In the coming campaign are the
suffrage workers going to again waste
their efforts by fighting valiantly ovel
points that will be granted by most
men without question or will they gel
down to sensible methods and wir
out through such action.

LIFE AND DEATH VANDALISM.

c. p. Rogers, on his coast-to-coast
flight, found that the souvenir hunter
is one of his worst natural enemies.
In Sacramento, Pa, for instance, he
detected a woman screwing loose
nut off the machine with her fingers.
She explained that she wanted it for
a souvenir, and that she had not i'm
agined it would cause any harm to
take 1t because there were so many,
surely one would not make any diff
ference" After explaining to her
that it might make all the difference
between this world and the next for
him, Rodgers turned back TO his ma
chine, only to find another souvenir
hunter-a man, this time-trying to
take valve off the engine with cold
chisel.-Current Worlds Work.

FIELD PEAS.

During the past year many eastern
Oregon farmers have been raising
field peas and meeting with good sue
cess. 1t Is n good crop for dry land
farming as we'll as for irrigated Sec
tions. Field peas may be used to ad-
vantage on summer fallow years and
hogged off. Farmers who raise field
peas generally get them in very early
in the spring and hog them off early
in the summer so that the cultivation
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-01-15

Of the summer fallow may be taken
up. Such course permits of summer
following the land and yet means an
annual crop. 1t means getting the
maximum return from the land and
at the same time enriches the land
because the Ieguminous crop restores
to the soil the very elements that
wheat raising takes away.
Eastern Oregon should raise more
field peas and more hogs.

211th anniversary of the founding Of
Detroit by Antoine de la Motto Ca

growth in population and business, Of
goals gained and ambitions realized,
of work performed and projects COM

during the week beginning today.
It was on July "a, 1901, that Ca
dillac arrived at the site of the fu-
ture metropolis with fifty soldiers
and fifty Canadian traders and ar
tisans, and established Fort Pont-
chartrain on the banks of the river.
Two days later he laid the founda-

this church, some two years later, De-

of Cadillac, was baptized.
The French called the new settle
