VOTE DOWN COUNTY DIVISION SCHEMES I Details Involved in Formation of New Counties Unknown to Voters.

More counties will provide additional of flcial places and other patronage They will also make higher taxea and mor trouble for property owners, It la reaching a point in Oregon where too electorate will feel obliged to vote uniformly against all these new counties. The voters cannot In form themselves on the many local details Involved, In order to legislate, therefore they are likely to take the view that their safest action will be that of votlnc "No" on the 'whole bunch.' " Oregonian Comment. The Oregonian comments gain on the scheme in Its Issue of June 28: "A tenth scheme for county divis ion appeared for Initiative enactment next November annexation of a piece of Washington county to Multnomah. Theie county questions are proper subjects tor legislative attention where they can be studied on their merits and be amended and adjusted to suit local needs. The great trouble with the Initiative measures is that each and all of them emanate from a spec ial Interest No element should ever be allowed to frame laws regardless of other elements ot the population Yet that Is what they undertake to do when they refuse to take their bHls before the legislature and Insist oo enacting them by the 'direct' method. Lawmaking is one of tbe oldest or tbe affairs ot men and ages of exper ience have proved the superiority of legislation by delegates instead of by the mass. Delegated, representative government is tbe roost triumphant lesson of history." Compliment to Laf ferty. Mr. A. V. Lafferty, the Republican nominee ter Congress from this dis- trk-t, waa not the choice of the edi tor of The Optimist before the pri maries, but he Is now. He has been fairly nominated by the Kepnblieaus ot thl district, and he will receive tbe hearty and cordial support ot the entire Optimist force. Mr. Cue ot The Optlmlsl, has known ! Mr. Lafferty tor many years. In fact they were born and reared In neigh boring counties In Missouri, and Mr. Cue says that no young man iu that state stands higher iu hi home county than doe Mr. 1-nfferly, and ot bis republicanism there Is no iinestion. Iudeed, he wa one of the men who assisted in turning Mis souri into a Uepubllcan state. Of Mr, Lafferty'e ability there la no question, of his character there is no iiuestlon that be will make an able representative for ns In Congress there is no question and of his election there is not a particle of doubt. 1 All ot which la Inspiriug, for Mr. Lafferty Is assured of election noth ing but death can prevent his trium phant success. But there Is another side to Mr. Laflerty, and that Is the htman side, the side that repels or retracts. In Mr. Lafferty'e case we are glad to say that this human side Is all to the good, tor be ia a manley man, a manly man, a gentlemanly geutle- miin. And he will be found to wear well, being both by Instinct and nature as true us steel, aa loyal ns tbe sun. Water Board Meeting. : New Speed Meter For Automobile. The Faro meter, a new speed meter for atitomobllas, is the invention of an Encllshman.
