A CONTEST of more than passing note is being waged in California by the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican league, with Hiram Johnson as gubernatorial candidate, against the corporation bi-partisan political machine, cap tained by that distinguished son of .Tackson county, Wil liam E. llerrin. Hitherto spasmodic efforts have been made to defeat the machine, but little has been accom plished. What the people have been able to do, the courts, controlled by the machine, have promptly undone. Eor many veal's this plunderbund has held all Califor nia in the hollow of its hand. It has ever stood for special interests against public welfare. By control of courts, legislatures, city, county and state governments, it has looted the people out of untold millions. By control of the dominant political party, and frequently by control of the opposition, it has perpetuated its dynasty of loot. Hiram Johnson seems to be a real enemy of the ma chine, a true insurgent against graft and corruption, and is making a vigorous fight against the old regime. Nat urally, he finds every old line politician in California against him and many newspapers. Such reliable party organs as the Los Angeles Times and the ban irranciseo us to bmiiy damage uia automobile Chronicle and innumerable other press beneficiaries of ,wn,1 nttompiiK to croso n railroad the System, are m full hue and cry. But if Johnson wins the nomination, Herrin's tactics will be to nominate the democrat, and throw the full strength of the republican macniue 10 mm lor sucii is ever me pontics ol oig uusi ncss.

California's condition, absolutely controlled by corpo rations which furnish the campaign funds for both parties, in the throttle grasp of a bi-partisan political organization which uses the masques of party names to fool the people and perpetuate itgelf, is the plight of many another state and is a warning to the people of Oregon of what their condition will become, if the wishes of the politician is heeded, and the voice of the Oregonian is listened to. It is impossible under present conditions, with the di rect primarv, Statement One and the initiative and refer endum, for the Portland corporation financed machine to rule Oregon, hence the determined reactionary effort to undo all that direct legislation has done, rob the people of their power and restore it to the politicians. The attack made upon Statement One is only the en tering wedge for the attack upon all direct legislative measures. Every enemy of Statement One, which is a vital part of the direct primary law, is at heart an enemy of the direct primary law, and would abolish it and restore to power the bosses, such as rule California. Because the Oregon politician is out of a .job, Oregon is libeled as the "fool of the family." Because Oregon citizens have a voice in electing a United States senator, she is called a "'freak state." Because she has made it impossible for a coloration to rule, as in California, no end of abuse and contumely are heaped upon her by the lick-spittle corporation press. A desperate effort is being made by the Tories to restore themselves to jiower, but there is little likelihood that the people will favor the reactionary program. What Oregon has accomplished, the restoration of the governing power to the people, other states, including Cal ifornia, are striving to accomplish, and by the same means.

IT IS to be hoped tbat the next time charter amendments are submitted to the people, that there will be one authorizing the council to enforce a program of tree plant ing along curbs of residence streets, if such an amendment is necessary. Surely some way ought to be provided to force those who have little public spirit to beautify their own local ities. Those who refuse are very short-sighted, for beauti fication of the street improves the appearance and en hances the value of the property by making it more attrac tive. The ladies of the Greater Medford club deserve great praise for efforts last winter to beautify the streets, but they encountered so much lethargy that unless some law is passed making tree planting compulsory, Medford will not become iamous lor its shaded avenues. Medford has "got off on the right foot" as regards civic improvements. She must follow the start up by making the city the most attractive and beautiful of any in the state, and this can be done so cheaply and so easily i.i.i. a. i i i. j. i i 'i mm ii is annus i u uniiiu not to ao it.
