OREGON LEADS T1IC loislithire recently dofcatod a resolution that de clared that Oregon had the best government of any state in the Union. Peanut politics, a desire to slap a Unit ed States senator, the grudges of defeated and discredited would-be leaders, were responsible for its rejection. But the truth of the matter is that Oregon has the best government. Oregon is Ihe only slate where thfc -people, ha e; a say, where the initiative, referendum, recall, purity oi'.elGctious and popular election of senators obtains. Scarcely a state in the country, east, west or south, tliat; is not dominated by corrupt bosses and eprporate interests. Neither dominate Orciron. Scarcely a state in the middle west or eastern seaboard, where "respectable" citizens do not make a practice ol'j selling their right of suffrage. 'Witness the exposures now in progress in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and other slates. Nothing lik" this in Oregon. . .Kvcn in the south, purer lhan the norm, nan uie em Hens are disfranchised by constitutional subterfuges. No one is disfranchised in Oregon. It is said that popular and progressive measures des troy party unity, because it smashes the political machine. Wliat is the difference, if they also eliminate corruption and bring. about better government? If Oregon hasn't the best, government, name a state that has a better. HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S NEED. OIltfCJON is probably the only state in the Union that shamefully neglects its historical society, which is preserving a mass of historical data of great value to fu ture generations. . . , , Repeatedly the society has requeste'd a modest apnro priation to erect a permanent home. But while there is sufficient money for everything else, the claims of the so ciety arc ignored. The exhibits and data collected and maintained, dat ing from the first settlement of the territory, its great his torical and educational value, make it imperative that they be sufficiently housed and cared for. If there had been a graft iu connection therewith, or if a large sum had been requested, the appropriation would have bqon made years ago, and it is no crdit to the slate that this worthy and meritorious subject has been so long neglected. Jt is to be hoped that this legislature will atone lor the shortcomings of previous sessions and grant the society's request. PEANUT POLITICS PLAYED. SO FA P. the legislature l.ias done nothing but play pea nut politics nothing to justify its existence. The senate chamber has rung again and again with in vective hurled at .Jonathan Pourne, who is not an issue. Charges of graft and extravagance in the management of state institutions under the administration of Acting (Jovernor .Jay Powerinan have been made by Senator Jay Powerman, with the hope of injuring the new administra tion. .lav Powerman, who at the state's expense appointed a superintendent for the eastern Oregon asylum before it Was built iu order to secure an extra vote for himself as president of the senate, is devoting his time and energy to "getting even" with those who failed to appreciate his genius, and aiding and abetting him is the old guard of reactionaries. Small wonder thai the people of Oregon grow disgusted with legislatures, and that they favor extension of the ini tiative and referendum to replace them.
