THREE WOULD Be
SEATTLE'S MAYOR
(By United Press Leased Wire. J


Seattle, AIN. 11.-With but one
more week to file for candidates. in
the coming municipal election.
Seattle faces the greatest paucity of
candidates since the direct primaries
were adopted.
There are only three candidates
for mayor, Mayor Gill having filed
for reelection yesterday afternoon.
The others are Oliver T. Erickson,
president of the city council, and
Austin f. Griffiths, former council
man and chief of police.
With three councilmen to be elect
ed, only four candidates have so far
filed. These include Judge VIM. II.
Moore, former mayor of Seattle, and
r. H. Thompson, former city engi-
neer for many years. Councilman
Fitzgerald has filed for reelection
and State Representative F. H. Rem
ick is the fourth aspirant.
1t is generally conceded that a
higher class OF candidates have filed
this year than ever before in the
citys history and this has tended tc
scare away smaller fry. In 1871
there were ten candidates for mayor
and 27 for the council.

l. R. MAKES PLEA
FOR PREPAREDNESS

Chicago, Jan, 1l,--~Asking the bull
moose national committee. in session
here today, to drop all purely parti-
san considerations. Colonel Roose-
velt today wired the members u plea
for preparedness, In 1t he declared
the country faces 4 great crisis and
that the nation has fallen far short
of its duties for the past Is months,
The message did not mention Roose-
Welt as a presidential candidate,
The message was read by the COM
mitteemen and scores of other bull
moose leaders at q conference pre-
liminary to the committees executive
session.
There is crying need that We
disregard all but vital issues affect
ing our national life," wired Roose-
welt. and strive whole-heartedly for
a sound Americanism which shall in
sist that every man within our bor-
ders be an American and nothing
else.
I'VE must do justice TO our own
people at home, and insist that they
have justice when they are abroad.
We must insist upon q most thor
oughgoing preparedness to protect
our rights against all attacks by any
aggressor. Such preparedness is the
best guarantee OF an honorable peace.
We must ever remember that there
can not be such preparedness in
things material unless there 10 also
that preparedness Of soul and spirit
which alone renders a nation fit to
perform its high and difficult duties
in national life"
Reading between the lines. some
said that the message
squared with George W. Perkins at
tack upon President Wilson last
night, particularly the part referring
to Justice when they are abroad"
They held that in this Roosevelt had
indicated an intention OF making. II
necessary. a direct attack against the
Wilson foreign policy. and. likewise,
that he had indicated stand for
broader preparedness program than
the present administration seeks.

MRS. LEE ACCIDENTAL.

Portland. Jan. ll.--Albert Gabel
steadfastly maintained today that the
fatal shooting of Mrs Minnie Lee
Sunday night was accidental. The
coroner's jury last night discovered
that Mrs. Lee was shot only once.
This upsets the strongest single cir

20 calibre rifle against Mrs. Lees
breast and pulled the trigger. be-
lieving the safety lock on. He insisted
that he shot only once, After a pre-

declared that there were two bullet

CHRISTENING THE FARM.

The Oregon farmer can swell his
annual receipts by using good printing
and by occasional advertising in the
weeklies of his county, says D. W.
Morton, dean Of the new school OF
commerce of the University Of Ore
gon.
A farm letterhead should carry the
name of the farm, the name of the
owner, the location OF the farm, and
perhaps a small picture Of some fea-
ture of the place, says Dean Morton,
who regards the farmer as a business
man with substantial investment
upon which he should make every ef-
fort to pay interest.
1T gives farmer certain busi-
ness standing if he has neat letter
head OF good stock, and 1t improves
the value of his farm to have name
and something of an individuality,
he said. There is some initial ex-
pense in having picture taken and
q cut made, but the publisher Of the
nearest country paper will attend tC
the details and afterward will do tn,
printing reasonably.
"If the farmer raises high-clasl
animals, his letterhead may contain
a picture OF prize animal with IT
record or II he has stock farm, ;
picture Of a bunch Of stock; or II h,
has the best house or barn in tn,

our youth, then we must expect that
in the ripeness of old age others will
maintain the barrier that separates us
to the end.
The Joys and pleasures Of youth
are easy to acquire but as time silvers
our locks they are more difficult to
obtain.
The person who adheres to an ex-
elusive clique today may find that to-
morrow tho integral parts have drift
cd away and that other doors are
closed. And II is then that the gray
moss of the winter OF life ia brought
home to. the one who lives in the be-
ginning and forgets the other end.
We all have our good qualities and
our faults, some more pronounced
than others. None of us are ever
perfect. for ye are but human and
are OF the same clay.
Let us remember that life of to-
morrow will he Just as we shape our
beginning today.
Let us bear in mind that the end OF
the string may be sharp and strong
and virile. or that IL may be old and
worn and frazzled.
Life, like the string, has a begin
ming and an end. and the end must
inevitably pay for the omissions OF
the beginning.
Those who cultivate friendships in
the summer Of youth will find that in
the decline OF life others will cleave
to them. and that the mellowncss Of
old age will be filled with Joy i'm
stead Of being saddened by sorrows
and regrets.
In our intercourse one with anoth-
or, friends, let us remember that each
day we are approaching the other end
OF life. and that the end will be In
accordance with the precepts and pol
icles OF the beginning.
Let us make this community OF
friends. and not merely of acquaint-
ances.
Let us transform the gray winter OF
life into a perpetual sunshine OF sum
mer.
Let us begin today.

THE FIGHT FOR INFRINGEMENT

The cause OF business administra-
tion and tax reduction IN oregon
must be kept up in the interest OF In
dustrial and community development
and will largely depend on the char
acter OF the Legislature
The battle for reduced taxation
has been waged 40 warmly by the
state press that nearly every candi-
date for the Legislature Is elected on
a platform pledged TO retrcnchment
and cutting out gratis.
While this feeling In stronger than
ever before the need OF real leader
ship In the organization OF both
houses OF the general assembly IL Inn
perative II any oppreciable result is
obtained.
For instance, the higher education
al interests OF the state for the pres
ent biennial period are getting ST.
e91,5S2.40 from the taxpayers and
will make demands for larger sums
for 19l7-1S.
This instance. backed by a power
ful organization all over the state,
was able TO get S2S5, ,1O3.63 more
than all the other state institutions,
and will give all other sections lib
eral slices from the state pork-barrel
These and other large interests
will doubtless try to capture the
speakershlp and the presidency of the
senate, and then the taxpayers in
stead OF getting the promised reduc-
tions will have the larger bills to
meet.
The State Taxpayers League, an
organization pledged to secure ma
terial scaling down of tax leyies, is
backing a tax limitation measure by
initiative but that would not prevent
large appropriations.
The presidency OF the senate seems
10 be conceded TO Lair Thompson of
Lake county, and speakership viii
not go TO a delegation that has too
many axes TO grind,
The state tax levy for 1914 was
S4,l65,OOO. For 1915 this was cut
10 s3,l12.OOO. For 1916 this was
further cut to s2,55O.OOO, The fight
for retrenehment is vital and is the
biggest issue,

SHAKE UP YOUR BRAINs.

Shake up your brains, brother,
shake them up lively. Somewhere
in the dark recesses of your Uranium
is an idea that would be OF great
raiue to your home community.
Let the idea out and pass II along
for examination and dissection and
for possible use for the betterment Of
our people.
Any man of normal intelligence is
full of good ideas, but few people
care TO exploit them before the pub
lie. And yet the exploitation OF ideas
is Just what we need for the improve
ment OF local conditions.
Step forward and tell us what you
know or what you think. Much OF
Il may not be utilized, but there may
appear the one great opportunity for
which this community is waiting. DO
Il now and your action may spur your
neighbors to such an extent that we
may eventually get somewhere and
do something.

INDUSTRIES SUPPORT COMMUNE
TIES.

Industries and their payrolls not
only support families and make the
community prosperous, but pay the
taxes.
They sometimes earn profits for
the owners and even in rare cases
have been known to pay dividends
TO stockholders.
Properly speaking industries in
clude all business employments and
activities that result in payroll or
circulate money,
The city of Klingenberg, Germany,
owns valuable mine of clay and
pays each resident an annual revenue
of $50 besides all city taxes.
Industries produce the wealth and
put the money in circulation that
enables people to pay taxes, whether
il be a bootblack stand, a cannery
or a railroad company.

"watchful waiting" which was mere
ly form OF putting off this country's
duty. for weakness and with each in

was ever credited 10 a nation. The
course taken led 20 only the thing
that is now before us-trouble that
Is bringing war.

spanking. Mexico cannot understand
"a lick and a promise" II must
have a real trounclng that will con-
vince II that this country can rule
and will rule that country II II has to,
but will not do so II Mexico will be-
have, and will respect those trying to

FORGETTING THE OTHER END.

There are many things that would
improve conditions In this town aud
the surrounding territory, but the one
defect which impresses itself most
forcibly upon our mind at this time
is the lack of unanimity and cohe-
siyeness in social affairs,
with each individual the town or
community in which he lives is like
a piece of rope or twine, IL has two
ends, and each should be In harmony
and work smoothly with the other.
The one end is where we begin our
life in the community. and the other
is when death or removal breaks the
connection,
We devote our time, our thoughts,
and our energies TO the beginning and
10 each successive step as we progress
through life. The end is but a phan-
tom OF the future and we give it but
little heed.
And therein we err, for II is not
wise tc forget the other end,
We need an awakening and a more
cohesive spirit in the social life OF
this town and of this countryside, We
need a greater spirit of fraternity in
our associations one with another A
spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood
should bind us closer together for
the common veal of all,
In the Measures and the excite
ments of today We forget that there
is a tomorrow for which we must pro
vide, and in this omission we too fire.

for the later years of
life.

ness and exclusiyeness in the days OF
