So It's a case of oil ON FOOT (you can't phone the message or phone for a messenger)' tq the Western Union. It s a little sur prising how much lost time that involves. Unconsciously you mul tiply yourself by 140 million and get a startling picture oi the wasted time involved in the United States of America by the stoppage oi telephone service. It breaks in on you that In (his modern age in this most modern of the nation! TIME is both capital and raw material. Wasted time means wasted production. Wasted production means a low ered standard of living. A per manently lowered standard of living means that your children will have fewer opportunities than you have had. A .' IT all make J "you think. As al ways when you are annoyed and put out, your think'ing takes . strange turns. - - - - The teletypes" and the radio (the communications tie-up isn't " complete) bring you word that in Indiana and Virginia state la ; BLOCK strikes that ; lnt'erfero. ' with ttic public welfare. So the " telephones are WORKING there. Housewives don't have to leave - their Monday morning's wash to .". o down town to do the day's shopping. Business men don't have to walk to the telegraph office to dispatch a message that can't go by phone. Normal, mod ern life gor j on there as usual. - - m This thought stares you stid- '. denly In the face: Isn't it BET TER to have laws that protest .'. the rights of the majority against the (perhaps selfish) desires of . the minority? Somehow it had never struck you so forcibly betore. It's odd - how you see things like that J when your normal, accustomed routine of life is Interrupted and " you have lo devise ways to over- - come obstacles that hadn't been in your path before. - IN your disturbed and uo state, a frightening possibility . crosses your mind. Suppose some ENEMY, lying in wait for the moment when your country would bo momentarily WEAK and his would be strong and ready, should choose this In stant to POUNCE. In these days ' of air war nations can pounce like the cougar that has been waiting for the deer. Without perfectly functioning communications, how could we organize a successful defense In such an emergency? i A screwy thought? Of course It's screwy. I'rnc-' llcally preposterous. Such things are out of this world. It was only - in the bad old days that they ," happened. Still-? ? ? It's simply amazing what will come Into your mind when you're Irritable and Urt. Nothing Is more irritating or upsetting than having your normal routines broken into. There arc limes when getting rong number cm throw you oil your stride. Being unable to get any number is orie.

STANTON The Oregon Stute Legislature concluded its session shortly after midnight Saturday following 81 continuous days of work. During that period it wrote 5 new laws, while 420 measures were rejected or died in committee. Thus, in con sidering the 1016 proposed laws submitted for its considera tion, the legislature processed bills at the rate of 12 per day, which does not include resolutions, joint resolutions, memorials, etc., of which there were many. Some persons have been critical of the legislature, particu larly the length of the session, but we believe its record of accomplishment is sufficient to justify praise rather than criticism. The task of passing upon its 12 -f- laws daily, in volving committee hearings, public hearings, debate and investigation connected with believe, a most creditable achievement. During the first 50 days paid $8 per day. But they worked 34 days without compen sation. For many of the senators and representatives $8 per diiy was not sufficient to pay rent, meals, telephone calls and other expenses incident to the session. A few, who had low-priced living quarters, could, perhaps, make $8 stretch over the daily cost. But, using $8 as the daily expense of each legislator, it has cost each member of the legislature $272 out of his own pocket to serve his state.'We know that for (tome members, at least, the personal expense has been in excess of $-100. How much longer can we expect good legislation under such conditions? Are we to receive representative government by repre sentative men and women when we force them to pay for the privilege of public service? Oregon is growing In population and business. Conse quently legislation is increasing in volume and importance. We need the highest type of our citizenry in our Senate and House of Representatives. Biif bur prosent system ; eventu ally will limit us to men of independent wealth who practice politics as a hobby andor men subsidized to obtain legisla tion for pressure groups. Certainly we do not want our legis lative matters handled in such fashion. It becomes essential, therefore, that wo give early thought; to some method of providing procedure which would givo our legislators proper compensation" for .their services. We have reason' to be proud of thel fine record of our own Douglas County delegation. ' " .' , ' . Senator Thomas Parkinson was outstanding 'ih the Senate. His voting record was most favorable. His particular inter ests were in bills pertaining to; thd Northwestern Turkey Show ar)d the. Unipqua River fish bill. He succeeded in hav ing money accumulated to the credit of the Turkey Show during war years 'made1 available for future isHows.. The money, if desired, may l)e used for building purposes.' ith regard to the Uhipqua a seemingly impossible achievement when he secured unani mous affirmative votes on that controversial measure. He had the unusual position of being a member of committees on Game and Fishing Industries whereby he worked on both commercial and recreational fishing proposals. He was chair man of the committee on Federal Relations, and a member of committees on Elections and macy and Dentistry. One of the most responsible positions in the House was borne by Representative Robert C. Gile as chairman of the committee on Assessment and Taxation. This committee had a most difficult task in revamping the state's tax system. Gile also served on the Medicine, Tharmacy and Dentistry and Roads and Highways committees. Representative I'arl C. Hill, committee on Game, and as a IK'al Government and Education, was another of the excep tionally busy members. The legislative program of the State Game Commission was dumped in his lap, while lie carried the bull in the House for the I'mpqua River bill. The pro gram for settlement of the Basic School Iaw apportionment, disposition of the Rural School produced important and extended work in the committee on Education. Our own delegation and the lieve, deserve praise and gratitude for uuselfish and effi cient representation in the 1 Assembly of Oregon. soil of central Oregon.
