Constitution tinkering will resume
activity In the next Oregon election
and a crop of fads and fancies will
bo foisted on the voters again. Al-
ri-Rdv four amendments to the con
stitution are slated for the election
snhmitted by the legislature for
reforonlum--and others will show
thomselvea In duo time, hy Brace of
the initiative,' proposing prohibition,
womnn suffrage, sliiKle tax and oilier
things. None of these changcB is
needed by the commonwealth, nearly
all of them mennce conHtllution.il
stability, and the public would be no
better off with the best of them.
Chief of tho dangerous changes
will he the amendment authorizing
the state to build and operate rail
rnmlH There will ho two amend
ments, cnrrvlng out the "new Idea"
of assessment and taxation. In spite
of the obvious truth that there ran
bo no better basis of taxation than
that now prescribed In the conntmi
tlon for equal and uniform taxation
of actual values. Least objectionable
of the proposed "Improvements" Ip
the one pilhstltutlng tho district rep
resentation method of electing mem
bora of the leglslnl lire In counties
that have more than one member In
either house for the electlon-nt-large
method heretofore In hho. i-rom one
point or view the legislature should
ho commended, perhaps, for limiting
to that small number the "progres
sive Idens" that are rlnmorllig for
place In the constitution. The Initia
tive, howovor, Is still wide open.
Preachers of political fnds. profes
sors of what they call political uni
on, apostles of multifarious re
forms all think Oregon the most pro
gressive stale In the union. So 'nr
ns this slate allows them to "mon
key" with the organic laws and lifts
tho lid that other states hold down
on cranks and enthusiasts, -they have
the right Idea of Oregon's progres
rlveness. There will bo someth'ng
doing again In constitution tinkering
next November, and the electorate
will receive another visit from the in
novating pest. Oregonlan.

ItlffcrfMit From All Odiers-
Flagstaff, Ariz., Jan. 24. The
luminous body now visible to observ
ers in various parts of the country Is
a new comet. It is known as "Comet
A. of 1910." and photographic obser
vations made ot It by the scientists of
Lowell observatory show that its light
differs from that of most comets,
though it closely resembles tho great
comet of 1882.
The new comot was reported by Dr.
R. T. A. Inness, of the observatory
at Johannesburg, South Africa, on
January 16. His name was given to
It at first, but as the same comet is
said to have been observed In the
Orange Free State prior to that date
scientists here prefer to call it "Com
et A."
Tlie newcomer has excited keen in
terest among astronomers who are
making close observations, but it has
not yet been determined whether the
comet will ever reappear again.
An analysis of the photographic ob
servations made hero .lio-vs that the
now body dlfforB greatly from comets
in general. The usual comet spec
trum consists of a very bright series
of hydro-carbon bands, hut the comet
now visible shows very bright sodium
lues. The striking orange color of
tho comet head, as observed in vari
ous parts nf the country, is said to
bo duo to Incandescent sodium vapor.

F.dltoi' News: Rending a few days
ago in your paper some items per
taining to my neighborhood under
tho heading "Sylmon Items," I can
not refrain from expressing my Ideas
concerning the name Sylmon," and
believe others than myself think
it anything but a pretty name, or that
It suits our neighborhood, which is a
most picturesque place, nnd ulso a
pleasant placo to live in. but when
one hoarB the name "Sylmon" ap
plied to It makes nn think of Simple
Simon. Now, to my notion, I believe
the nnmo "Rivcrdalo Items" or "Riv
erside Items" would bo more appro
priate, as our valley from Kdenhower
to Junction of roads to Coos Hay nil
slope toward tho river and n view of
the river can be had from most nil
the farms In this Bectlon, and the
name "Kiverdale or Riverside Addi
tion" would, 1 believe, sound very
pleasant to the ear. nnd what better
time than now to change a name,
when new people and new railroads
arriving? What say you all?
