Mill Yesterday
(From Thursdays Daiiy.1

Eight Clemson College students OF

also to go over few of the textile

The visitors here yesterday were
much impressed with what they saw
at the Brogon Mill and said that their
text boks could hardly give them a
very clear understanding of such mag
niflrient equipment as was shown
them on their tour of inspection
through this modern mill.
Every ono of the eight declared the
time snGlt here was most ins:- lctive

Petition Solicitation

To the Editor: 1t has been
quite generally agreed that un-
der the system of paid circula-
tion of initiative and referendum
petitions two evils exist-the
submission of many measures
for which there is no popular
demand. and the forging of
signature. To remove these
evils | shall propose an initiative
measure prohibiting payment for
circulation of petitions, but
placing no restrictions upon the
right of the people TO circulate
petitions for any measure in
which they feel an interest.
One of the fundamental pur-
poses of the Oregon system is
to increase the power of men
and decrease the power of
money. am surprised, there
fore. TO find that there are some
sincere advocates of better gov
ernment who oppose the plan of
prohibiting paid circulation of
petitions. Most of those who
oppose my bill acknowledge that
il is right in principle but say il
will not work satisfactorily in
practice. contend that VI il is
right in principle il will ultimate
ly be adopted and will work in
practice.
An initiative petition is sup
posed TO represent the desire of
eight per cent of the voters. IL
does no such thing. ltrepresents
merely the expenditure of a cer-
tain amount of money.
Possibly circulation of petit
tions serves TO notify about ten
per cent of the voters that the
measure is being proposed. but.
il that is the end 10 be gained.
il certainly could be done more
effectively by expending the
money in the printing and cir
culation of copies of the bill
which voters could read, rather
than in securing signatures of
voters 10 a petition which
few take the time 10 read.
The adoption of my suggested
bill would make the petition
represent public opinion, for
the number of volunteer circula-
tors would be in proportion Ia
the extent of public desire for
the measure.
| admit that so long as the
custom of paying circulators
continues. practically every
measure must be initiated in
that manner. but | am confident
the time will come when the
duties of citizenship in procur'
ing and protecting desired laws
under the initiative and referen'
dun will be performed without
special compensation.
The hiring of paid circulators
for measures or candidates is nc
less representative than the hir'
ing of workers or vehicles OF
election day, which have botl
been prohibited by the corrupt
practices act.

A Scenic Playground

Co-incident with this return
from the east, A. S. Benson an
nounced that his father, S. Ben
son. the noted Oregon timber
man, capitalist and good roads
advocate. had bought about 220
acres of land embracing the
famous Gordon Falls. and would
make of it scenic playground,
where the people could go in the
summer months and see the
beauties with which nature has
endowed Oregon.
The Gordon Falls which are
in close proximity to Multnomah
Falls. are considered by many
to be even finer than the latter,
because the approach is more
beautiful and the falls them
selves, even though not so great
in volume. are more picturesque.

Fathers Day Services

Fathers Day was observed
in the Evangelical church last
Sunday. There was a full house.
A beautifully painted motto
greeted the audience. The
wording was arranged by Mrs.
George Hall, the Sunday School
superintendent, as follows:
Here's to My Father, My
Truest and Oldest Friend" The
G. A. r. and Boy Scouts were
present in a body. Mayor Brede-
son and others were present.
The motto was the theme for
the sermon by the pastor. The
text was Gen. 22:7. He likened
the hoy to a question mark, an
interrogator that will not be
satisfied with the assertion that
the earth rests on a big rock.
and that rock on another big
rock. ETC., until he finds out that
it is rock all the way down. at
least. He said that father"
implies Deity and special provi-
dence, that one good father is
worth two good mothers, arguing
from the scarcity. that to be-
come q man in the truest sense
one must be married and anchor
ed to five or six promising re-
sponsibi!ities. that the childPs
connecting link with the outside
world is the father. and that 10
is their life more than precept
that gives JUNCTION TO the boys
life. that the high tide of the
fathers love emotions are en-
graved on the boys heart never
to be forgotten.
He said that the time "a

COTTON MARKET IN SAVANNAH

(From the Savannah Morning News)
Evidence that there is a market
for cotton is furnished by the fact
that the Steamer City of Augusta,
which plies between Savannah and
Augusta, arrived yesterday with 402
bales of the fleecy staple consigned
to Savannah factors.
This is the largest cargo of cot
ton the Augusta has brought in this
season. The indications are that
there will be other cargoes equally
as large, if not larger, from points
along the river between Savannah
and Augusta. The vessel promises
to be busily engaged from now on
hauling cotton to Savannah.
Besides the 400 bales of cotton
the Augusta brought in $50 bales of
hay. 1t is carrying back a miscel-
laneous assortment of merchandise
for points along the river.
