While we believe there is sufficient merit in every one of these amendments to warrant them to become laws there is one amendment in which Union county Is especially interested and that is the first one, which provides for the initiative and referendum on local and municipal laws. To illustrate at the last session of the legislature there was a bill before that body to sub-divide ' Union county. If this amendment is adopted such a propo sition would be referred te the people and if a majority decided in favor of a division then it should be divided, but not until then. & V.

THE GRAB SACK An amusing game used to be played by the young folks called the grabsack. To play it a sack was filled with' packages carefu'ly wrapped. Some of which con tained desirable articles, others with things that no one Wanted, and one had a large bull frog elaborately concealed. The players were blindfolded, led up to the sack and told to help themselves to one article from the share of good things generous fairy had provided. Each was required U open the drawn package There was much tittering by the girls and stamping of feet by the boys when a blank was exhibited, but when the maze of wrapping was unwound from the frog the applause was loud and hilarous. each one pointing at the ' recipient and calling out "croaker! croak frog croak." The game of grab sack aptly illustrate the doings of an ordinary Oregon legisla tur in which the sack is filled 1 with packages with appropriations for specially favored localities and interests, many blanks for modest members and frogs for loquacious ones. From a million to two million dollars of the taxpayers money is thus distributed )o localities, corpora tions and popular party leaders who have been wise In the popular acceptation of that term; that is those who did not foolish their time away in the legislature talking about rights, principle and good of the state. Those who drew blanks, that is secured no appropriation to be expended in their county, district or to enrich some special friends or vote controling corporations. were jeered at as though they had drawn a bull frog from the legislative pool or sack, and styled croakers. This term "croaker" is successfully used to silence them whenever they raised their voices against the wasteful expendi- tur of the taxpayers money, and the eople were taught to disregard his state ments as to how the state school lands had been frittered away with little to show for the proceeds thereof, or how the many millions of dollars of state money had been divided among political leaders, and not for the good of the state. 1"i :, ... . . ma suencing legitimate criticism on state and county revenues by the oppro- bus term "croaker" has allowed millions of the peoples money 'to' be expended with nothing to show for it "but our d m d debts," heavy interest accounts bad roads, corporate control and high taxes.

' a. baton returned bunday morning from San Francisco and Eugene.
