Iterations.
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.

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.
