"At Salem tho governor of Oregon Is hurled under nn nvnlnnchc of hills, rushed through tho Legislature hi the Inst moments of the Into session. No less thnn 2H3 mensures were piled upon him by ndjouriiment, nnd he hnd but live days In which to consider them. Mnny of them nro full of defects. ErrorH nro unavoidable when bills nro ground through n session like sausage through n mill. Some nro trivial errors mnde by clerks, others nro vital to tho llfo of the measure nnd cnused by hurried consideration. Thoy Involvo ovory kind of topic every kind of human conduct nnd legal re groups MORKL 3, HO II.-P., COMPLKTK WITH WINDSHIELD AND TOP DELIVERER IX MAHSHFIKLR JM.BIM.OO. turned tho entire tldo land holdings',,, Homo oppog(1(, nn(, 80IU0 fnvorlng of tho stnto on Coos liny, nnd nil Its inlets nnd nil tho other tldo lands In tho entire stnto thnt hnd port com missions ovor to tho mnnlpulntlons of local Port Commissions who would lenso or refuso to lenso them ns their own sweet will dlctnted, nnd whllo I nm on this subject Mr. Editor I fnll to boo whom tho actions of Port Commissions nro Infnlllblo. Tho people of Portland hnvo Just succeed ed In reorganizing their Port Com mission nftor claiming nil kinds of inlsninnngoinent nnd iuIhuso of tho powora conferred on Ihem; If this Is posslblo In one case It Ih possible in others, Now about tho law In tho nintter: In every case where tho state claim ed ownership between low nnd hluji water and tho discs bavo been car ried to tho highest courts, tho stnto has nlwnyH won; for Instniice. on Lnko Mlchlgnn In front of tho City of Chicago nnd in Snn Frnnrlsen Hay In front of Onkland tho railroads that clnlmed ownership for years were compiled to lenso from tho stnto. In his veto of this hill ho showed good aense, good logic nnd good law, your nrtlclo to tho rontrnry notwlthstund lug. In your nrtlclo you say Instend of deciding IiIHh and laws and public problems In accordance with their merits governor West Is Indulging In "potty porsonnl prejudice nnd peniiut polities." 1 think when you wrote this you must hnvo had (he diction nry open nt tho loiter P. for Instance, plnylng, politics, pandering, person nl, pique, peeve, problems, petty pre judice, pennut. port." enough words to convict nnybody of any crime, but u in km more than words to innke facts. Now let u see what the Oro- gonlnn of February I nth. ny: "west wielding rod nnd House obey. Stnto printer lint salary bill possed. Husk hides? Iledhim rules. rnriiniuoiitiiry law downtrodden to win for meaaure. (lovoruor's threat tells. Kvecutlve measure condemning spendthrift legislation nnd predicting tho Blushing of funds Is victor." Now, Mr. Hdltor. this mny be pea nut politics according to your politic al creed but when tho governor, prnctleully nlone can compel n hos tile House nnd Senate to pass this hill, saving the state $20,000 a jonr, It compels me to nsk you where the peovo. pique nnd pennut politics comes In? You any In your nrtlclo there Is n mnrkod dlfforonro In the veto power between tho American nnd Rrltlsh adaption of popular rule, there Is no veto In the English or Canadian par liament, what the people decide to hnvo done Is dono forthwith nnd I would Judge by this you hold tho English wny hotter thnn ours; If such Is tho onso how can you reconcile this stntoment with this article that np poars in this same Issue of The Times: Contempt for the House of Commons'. "Thoro Is nothing uoblo or oxnltod tho proposed lnw. Thoy nro legisla tion stretching almost from tho Occi dent to tho morning stnr nnd from tho North Polo to tho southern cross. To digest, Investlgnto nnd lnvnlldnto or Invalidate all thin wilderness of hills nnd do it nil within five days was tho legacy loft to tho governor by tho recent session. Tliu stnto nld hill came to him with a phraseology thnt made it Inopera tive. It wns one of tho vltnl mens ures of the session nnd yet Its pas sage was Impotent. The publicity Immigration bill pnssed without safe guards for spending tho money. A hill referring to county trensurers' Invalidated Indictments In tho Thor liurn Hobs case, and wns killed by oxecutlvo itcgntlve. A bill appro printed Jfi.OOO for lighting bubonic plnglo hut fulled to stnto who wns to receive tho money. A hill professing to fix tho standard of purity of Un seed oil fulled to provide- whnt tho standard must be. With 72.1 bills Introduced mid hut 10 days for consideration accuracy gave way to Innccurncy and blunders run riot. Defects stnlked through tho lawmaking like death on n white horse. Legislating wont serenely on with the accuracy of n scnttor gnu. To discover the blunders, to pass upon the advisability of mensures, to listen to nnd decided between the controversies of those urging or op posing approval of bills nnd to do It nil In II vo dny this was tho legacy left by the legislature to" tho execu tive depart incut. And still, they say that only logls lutiircri should be allowed to legis late, and that the citizens hnven't time or sense enough to innke laws." Now, Mr. Kdltor, one word more about this port tide laud bill. Who had Senator Chase Introduce this bill. Was It n bill of general Inter est to the community, wns It endor sed by the Chamber of Commerce. Would the passage of this hill In any way affect litigation that Is nt the present time In the courts, If so, to whose benefit. Now In regard to Senator Chase. You charge that Governor West vents his personal spite on him. This charge is In line with the rest of your article, not homo out by fncts. Per sonally, I have the highest regard for Senator Chase, but ns n representa tive of Coos county In the state Sen ate, he accomplished very little. Ho was not classed as one of the pro gressives in the Senate, but was al ways classed In the Uowerman camp and tho Senate record shows Rower man on every occasion did everything In his power to harass the present ' stato administration, this probably Is tho reason that Senator Chase thought tho governor had a porsonnl feeling ngnlnst him, but why should Governor West show any more con sideration to Senator Chase than to Senator Oliver, a warm personal friend of Governor West and one of the throe democratic senators his Public Garage 1IAVK LKASKD KKLLV DOCK WAHKHOUSK AT FOOT OK CENTRAL AVENUE IX THE HEART OF Till!
