STATE FLAG WANTED
FOR PACIFIC FLAG DAY
Secretary OlcOtt Digs Through
Musty Archives To Supply
Information

An inquiry from Honolulu received
at the office of Secretary of State OF,
colt toiay brought out the fact that
oregon has no state flag. So far the
Stars and Strips as recommended bv
the solons at Washington, d. c., has
always been sufficient, but when Ore
gOn is given a chance to become dis
tinguished as state in addition to its
place in the Union Secretary Olco.t pro
ceeded to outline a state flag accord
ing to the laws of tnis state as outlined
in the Blue Book. The occasion for
the need of a separate state flag is
A." Pacific Flag Day" in Honolulu. when
the flags of all nations bordering the
Pacific ocean and the territorial pos
sessions of the United States and the
flags of the separate Pacific states will
be on display.
Secretary Olcott found the state flag
as defined by section 1928, Lord S Ore
gOn Laws, to be in the nature of a
ba+allion flag for state soldiers serving
in the field. The state flag, as out
lined by Mr., OlcOtt to conform with tne
law, is as follows:
"To be of blue silk with arms of a
state embroidered or painted in the
center. The size of the flag shall be
s feet ~ inches on the fly and feet
II inches on the pike or staff, with the
length of the pike as 10 feet 9l5
inches" The flag bears 3S stars and
tie date 1857, but this should be 1859,
as the state was admitted into the
union in 1859, and is was undoubtedly a
typographical error that gave the date
as 1857.
Secretary Olcott did not make any
offer to supply the Honolulu commit
tee with flag of this state, but simply
gave them the plans and specifications
and his permission to make one if t1ey
wanted it for s'Paeitic Flag Day"

COUNTY OFFICERS AMENDMENT

The Cleveland Plain Dealer pre-
sents strong arguments relative tc
one proposition that will be up to the
voters to decide in the coming No
vember election. 1t says:
There are two objections to the So
called county officers amendment to
the state constitution, either OF
which should be sufficient to defeat
it.
The amendment, initiated by cOun-
ty office holders, in various parts OF
Ohio, reads as follows, being section
2 Of article X
"A board of county commits
sioners, which shall consist Of
three persons, a county auditor,
county treasurer, a county re-
corder, a county surveyor,
sheriff, a coroner, clerk of
common pleas, prosecuting at
torney and a probate Judge, In
counties having probate judge,
and all other county officers
shall be elected in each county
by the electors thereof, on the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, in the year
1918, and quadrennially there
after, for terms of four years.
No election for such officers
shall be held until the date
hereinbefore named and the
terms Of office of all incumbents
in such offices ars hereby ex-
tended until their successors are
elected and qualified.
Were this amendment adopted it
would take the place of these two
sections of the present constitution,
being sections 2 and Of article X:
County officers shall be cleo
ted on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November
by the electors of each county,
in such manner and for such
term, not exceeding three years
as may be provided by the law.
No person shall be eligible
to the office of sheriff or county
treasurer for more than four
years, in any period of six
years
The first feature of the proposal
likely to strike the observer is that
some hundreds of county officers, ell
ected last fall for two years, now ask
through the agency of an amendment
to the organic law Of the state that
their terms be doubled in length. 1t
is a species of office grabbing not
likely to receive sanction In the

PARTY AssAssns BARRED

John j. Whitacre, of Canton, is
busy these days trying to get former
Governor Judson Harmon to be d
candidate for the Democratic nmlna.
tion for governor next year,
Gov. Harmon has a warm place in
the heart of every Democrat in Ohio.
He knows who are his real friends,
and, also, Is wise enough to know
what is back of the effort that is be-
ing made to use him and his honored
name by the nondescript Whitacre
and his bunch of party assassins. The
very ones who are now so much in
terested in getting Gov. Harmon out
as candidate, were the ones who
fought him for the presidential nom
inatlon in 1912.
The Canton buccaneer has been the
intimate adviser of Gov. Willis and
has secured patronage from the pre-
sent state administration for some of
his fellow cut-throats, and, of course.
is anxious to keep them in fat offices
and get more places for his crew.
Whitacre and HIS associates are
without the pale, They have no rec
ognized standing as Democrats, and
their action now in attempting to die
tate to the Democrats of Ohio, is the
personiacation of impudence. They
are without the Democratic lines and
are not wanted in. Their support of
any person for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor will only act as a
blight on that persons candidacy and
stamp it with not being made in good |
faith.
If Gov. Harmon possesses the wis |
dom and sagacity In keeping with his |
reputation in such respect, he will |
beware of the Greeks bearing gifts"
When the proper time is at hand,
the loyal Democrats of Ohio will |
make choice of a candidate for gov
7rnoT, and will not tolerate any in
reference by, or suggestions from,
he Whitacre band of Hessians.-Mt.

Regardless of whom the Democrat
ic nominee for governor may be in
1916, the result seems duly forecast
ed. In this connection the Dayton
News of former governor Cox says:
"The attempt of the Republicans in
Ohio to ditch Governor Willis will do
them no good. They can't swap
horses in the middle of the stream Of
their mistortunes. 1t was not

be fought out on the issue of the

didate, the result is now written in
the minds of the people"

MAY CALL SPECIAL SESSION

Rumor has 1t that Governor Willis
may call special session of the leg
islature to appropriate money to pay
the state fair shortage. The emer-
gency board has twice refused to
break the law and give money to
make good the deficit. The Cover
nor and the new board of agricul-
ture, realize that the chances are,
one hundred to one, that the next
legislature will be Democratic. In
such case there would be little
chance Of getting public money out
of the state treasury to pay the cost
of cheap politics and stupidity.
There is also doubt whether even the
republican legislature, II called in eX-
ira session would hand out public
funds to pay illegally contracted
debts.-Ottawa Sentinel.

WHAT MASSACHUSETTS FARM
ERS SHOULD KNOW

Massachusetts farmers should get
in touch with Assessor S. H. HOwes
of SouthbOro who is himself a farm
er.
Mr. Howes was one of delega-
tion that appeared before the State
Tax Commission at Boston on Octo-
Der to discuss proposed changes in
taxation. There he presented facts
and figures which If known to farm
ers generally, would make them the
most enthusiastic Single Tax advo-
Gates.
Mr.. Howes showed that the 33 CT
ties of the State occupy about 7 per
cent of It's area, but have 80 per
cent. of its land values. So If Mass
achusetts were to adopt the Single
Tax, 80 per cent. of taxes for state
purposes would be raised from 33 ci-
ties, while farmers occupying SO per
cent. of the States area would pay
but 18 per cent.
There is nothing in this that is new
or surprising to Single Takers. There
is nothing in this that is peculiar to
Single Takers have
for years been telling the farmers
that the cities have the greater part
of land values, and consequently the
greater part of public revenue under
the Single Tax would come from the
cities. Now that one of their own
number in a position to know, en-
confirms these statements,
perhaps the Massachusetts farmers
will sit up and take notice.

THE PEOPLE VS.. THE SPECIAL

by VIM. J. Bryan, Editor of The

Another fight is on between the
people and the special interests, and
the democratic party is the only par
ty in position to take the peoples
side. Ex-President Roosevelt is bel
lowing for war He wants this ma
tiOn to enter the present conflict, and
his chief advisor, Geo. w. Perkins, is
identified with the steel trust which
is ready to furnish preparedness.
EX-President Taft, who has the sup
port of all the trusts that are not
supporting Mr.. Roosevelt, wants to
increase the army and navy appro-
priations one hundred and fifty mil
lions go per cent? so that we shall
be able to join Europe in future wars
--tnat is the plan of his League to
ENFORCE Peace"
Both Roosevelt and Taft are pIo-
tectionists--they believe in taxing
tho many for the benefit of the few,
and preparedness gives an excuse for
raising the tariff. The democratic
party took the side of the people
against the tariff barons; 1t took the
side of the people aginst the trust
magnates, and 1t took the side of the
people against Wall street.-the real
