FROM THE PEOPLE
STATE PRINTER BILL.

Salem. Nov. /, 1912
Editor East Oregonian:
The state printing problem. now
before the voters, is summed up as
follows:
Unspeakable abuse in state print
ing recognized for ten years with at
tempts in every legislature during
that time to correct it.
Every attempt to date defeated by
the beneficiaries of the abuse.
Flat salary law enacted by legisla-
ture of 1911 after bitter struggle to
defeat 1t led by business associate of
state printer. EXponents of meas
ure desired enforcement at once but
We're compelled to submit to amend
ment delaying operation until JAM
nary l. 1915, whereupon they volun-
teered assistance to put it into opera
ton as soon as possible by the ini-
tiative
Initiative to put Legislative act into
effect December 1, 1912, placed on
ballot.
Vigorous fight begun against both
initiative bill and legislative act by
state printer involving expenditure of
thousands of dollars. Law branded
by him as a scheme of union print
ers TO gain control of. state printing.
Initiative endorsed by state grange
in annual convention at Roseburg
subsequently investigated at urgent
request of state printing expert by To-
cal grange at Salem with result that
local grange withdrew its support.
Action of Salem Grange followed by
Pomona Oranges in Linn and Marion
counties and by a meeting of mast
ers of local oranges in Multnomah
county. There are some $50 local
oranges and IA Pomona oranges in
the state, only three or four of
which have taken action adverse to
the measure.
Public statement to voters by Gov
ernor West, four senators and five
representatives of the legislature that
passed the law urging support of the
initiative act. Go. S2SD
Act gives state printer $4,000 IA
year He can make $4,000 To 10000
year under present law over and
above all wear and tear. interest, risk
and expense whatsoever. and himself
never darken the door of the state
printing department.
The undersigned was appointed To
the position of expert without solici-
tation and especially charged by the
governor to expose this abuse and
work for its elimination. He has dis
charged his duty as he saw it for
a. =.
printer as the unworthy source of all
the agitation and as everything vile
and despicable.
The numbers of this measure on
the ballot are 32S Yes, 329 No.
Voters are urged to reflect thought
fully and vote their convictions

HOW TO TRANSFER.

Here are suggestions for transfer
ring the pattern before you to any
material before working.
Perhaps the easiest way is the
Nv ndow-pane" method. This is sue
cessiul when the material is thin, like
linen. batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of
paper nd the material together and
hold them up against the glass of a
window With Il sharp pencil draw
on the material the design. which can

one-half of the design only be given.
unpin the fabric. The strong light
behind will make it plain.
If YOU have carbon paper, you
should place the sheet between your
fabric and the newspaper. The lat
ter Is on top. With sharp pencil
go over the outline of the design. The
impression will be left in fine lines
and will last until worked. This

\ unique timepiece has recently
been invented by Mr.. Eugene Walser
a matchmaker in Los Angeles. Four
years of work has perfected clock
which keeps accurate time, but is
without a spring in its entire make

the clock rolling down an incline
regulated by a wonderful arrange
ment of weights on the inside of the
clock. There is no winding. to be
done, but every thirty days the clock
is lifted to the top of the incline and
begins to slide downward. The dial
does not revolve with the case, but
remains as an ordinary dial with the
figure IL at the top. The incline is Of
polished wood, sixteen inches long,
with an eight and third per cent
grade. There is no relation between
the wood and the clock--it is simply
matter of properly adjusted weights
which move the hands and control the
downward motion of the timepiece.-

A straw vote taken at the agricul-
tural college showed much the same
results as other tests
\ Significant made in this state.
Straw Vote. Out of 65S votes cast
Woodrow Wilson re
ceived $40; Roosevelt POS: Taft S5;
Debs IS and Chafln -. Wilson'S
vote was more than the combined
vote given Taft and Roosevelt.
This vote is significant because the
students at o. 4. c. represent very
accurately the common people Of Ore
gon. The students for the most part
are from farm homes, though there
are many city students also. Doubt
less the votes cast reflect home senti-
ments as well as student opinion.
The vote taken at Corvallis bears
out the declaration that the fight in
Oregon rests between Wilson and
Roosevelt. 1t is very evident Taft
will be a poor third in this state. A
vote cast for him will be thrown away

The Fleet. canal Here is a re-
cent comment by the
Chicago paper.
The Panama canal is to be opened
or Oct 23, 1913, and our famous old
sea fighter, the Oregon, will be the
first vessel put through the locks.
None of us will ever forget that
marvellous flying trip of the Oregon
from the Pacific to the Atlantic in the
days of the Spanish american war.
Around the Horn she went and
she steamed proudly to her station in
the fleet off Santiago ready to fight
on the instant. What she did to Ger
veras squadron is glorious history.
1t was this race against time by the
Oregon that drove home the neces-
sity of the Panama canal.
THAT the Oregon should be first
through the canal that unites the two
oceans is strictly in accord with the
eternal fitness of things"
Oregonians also feel the same about
the matter.

The death of Vice President Sher-
man has brought to light a consti-
tutional provision that
Keep Out of has been known to
The Jungle. very few people. The
twelfth m ndment,
which is published in full on this
page today, specifies that should
there be a tie up over the election
and the house be unable to decide the
issue the senate will then proceed to
elect a vice president who will assume
the presidency. In selecting the vice
president the senator's must choose
one or the other of the two men hav-
ing the highest number of votes in
the electoral college. The man stand
ing third cannot be considered.
This constitutional provision now
assumes especial importance because
here is a possibility the election may
not be decisive There is also a pos
sibility the house may be unable to
decide the matter. Taken by states
the house of representatives stands
exactly tie between the republicans
and democrats. The senate is repub-
lican but under the constitution Il
would be unable to elect a republican
vice president unless the republicans
should hold first or second place in
the electoral college. Should the
Taft electors stand third, as is indi-
Gated they will, the candidate they
will name in lieu of Mr.. Sherman
could not be considered. We would
have the spectacle of a republican
senate being forced to choose between
Marshall and Johnson.
It is one more kink in the compli-
cations that might arise should the
election fail to be decisive. 1t is
hard to tell what would happen
should no candidate receive clear
majority next Tuesday. 1t is hard to
tell what the consequences to the
country would be should there be
tie up. IT is a situation no thought
full, loyal citizen should wish to see
come about.
The best way to aid in keeping the
country out Of such a jungle Of un-
certainty is to vote for Wilson. He
is plainly the leading candidate. He
will have a majority if anyone does.

method is successful on heavy mate
rial.
The last way is also easy. On wax
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace
the pattern before you. When the
design is completed, turn over the
paper and outline the pattern with
heavy lead pencil Then place the
design down on the fabric and re-
draw the outline. pressing hard with
the pencil. The pattern will be trans
ferred without difficulty.
Surely the way is easy.

The East Oregonian may be wrong
but it has a surmise that the coin
used in behalf of the majority rule
amendment and the coin used in the
fight to block equal suffrage may be
traced to the same war chest Look
at check books that show contribu-
tions to one fund ana YOU will prob
ably see stubs showing contributions
to the other. Smell of the check
hook and YOU win detect the odor of
a hrewew.
For some reason beer makers do
not stand for equal suffrage. 1t is
not because equal suffrage means
prohibition because it does not mean
prohibition, Equal suffrage means
decency 1t means better regulation
and mare cleanliness 1t is antagonis-
tic to the low order of dives brewer
les sometimes control and wherein the
SOW bugs of vice thrive most freely,
So equal suffrage finds opposition
from that quarter.
1t is also natural that the forces
fighting suffrage should uphold the
majority amendment. Should that
thing carry it will be extremely diff.
ticult for suffrage or any other re-
form To win in this state. Under the
sc-called majority amendment all
those not voting are counted as vot-
ing No As rule large element
of voters do not vote upon the legis-
lative measures. They are ignorant
or Indifferent voters Those back OF
the majority rule amendment seek to
count their ballots anyway and count
them as voting No They would put
premium on illiteracy and indol-
ence. They would count votes that
are not cast at all and have them off
set votes that are cast by intelligent
men. They would put a ball and
chain on progress.
Vote No on the so-callei majority
amendment and vote Yes on equal suf-
frase.

Instead of putting machine-stitch-
ed pleats or tucks in lace blouse or
one of very fine material, catch the
Iucks down with French knots. These
can be worked in any shade you de-
sire or can he white or the color that
matches the blouse. Net and lace are
sure to shrink when washed. causing
the machine stitching to pucker or
break when the garment is ironed
or pulled into shape.
In any case the French knots make
a very attractive trimming.
