TOMORROW IS THE BEGINNING
It can be reasonably expected that
the ', legislature at Salem will get
down to business tomorrow and that
the remainder of the session will be
devoted to active work. To all ap
pearances there will be a skirmish
of some Importance as to ' whether
Speaker Rusk shall name the com
mittees or whether this shall be done
by the house as a whole. Strictly
speaking there should be 'little, or no
objection to the house selecting Its
own committees, at least no objection
should arise from the reform element
of which Speaker Rusk is the recog-i'-d
' IcMtlei . it me spirit' of the
Murdock fight In the national con
gress is to , be taken up in Oregon,
as the leaders say, then why not let
the house organize Itself and let the
house select its own committees.
The attitude of Allan Eaton along
this line la not considered, for Eaton
was beaten for speaker and he prob
ably feels like reorganizing the house
so there shall be no speaker at all.
But aside from Eaton or any other
man who may. have a personal feel
ing, does It not seem if the reform
element wants to be consistent' that
it will not lusiBt on Speaker. Rusk
naming committees. So far, no one
has stated that Rusk was demanding
: this prestige.

strange. It is, In fact, well known
that the large proportion of the pro
fits of agriculture accrue to non-producers,
who, having had the sagacity
to organize, handle and dispose of the
farmers' crops. Farmers hav been
slow to learn the lesson of organiza
tion, but once having learned it, they
are not likely to go back to the old
go-as-you-please method of market
ing their crops. The experiment cov
ering a period of two years lies re
sulted In a saving to the farmers of
the three counties of not less than
$600,000, possibly as much as $1,000,
000. The story Is simple; its lesson is
plain. Portland Oregonlan.
BARTERING OFFICES
No one &n find fault with Govern
or West and Treasurer Kay for re
moving Dr. Plamondon from the of-
' flee of superintendent of an insane
aBylum that has never been built. Ac
; cording to inside belief the doctor ac
quired the office through a trade, and
Jit is but right that he should relin
quish It. ' '' .
, But Dr. Plamondon' would , have
been looked upon as a mere incident
in the matter had he not, when it
seemed certain he was to go, offered
to resign provided he was named on
'the staff of the asylum. This showed
the caliber of the man. It convinces
everyone that he Is a cheap trader
and not worthy of further recogni
tion by the people. ,'.
. But the laughable feature of it all,
'is this: Our good friends Bill Thomp
son, Bill Furnish and & W. McCo-'
mas, of Pendleton, were doing a little
"politics" on this whole asylum .af
fair. They (landed at every quarter
pole and seemingly carried the new
Institution and all of its appointments
in their vest pocket. But now a part
. of the . deal la tipped over- Bower
man lost in his fight for president
of the senate, which was their fight
Plamondon ' loses a soft place to re
cline; which was a place of their
making, and the Pendleton . bunch
,have a prospective asylum with the
state board In charge to report. Just
how much money shall be spent. ;
Isnt this game of politics a funny
old game if you try to play it the
(old way?. , Better. take, a hunch, you
, Pendleton old-schoolers, and let
I Judge Lowell offer a little advice as
to how to proceed. v

Advises Fatrents What to do When
Suspecting Innocnlatlon. ;
"In case persons are bitten by the
dogs or other -animals believed to
be afflicted with rabies, the only and
proper recourse to follow Is to kill
the animal and send its head to the
state health officers at Portland, ex
press C. O. D. and within a very
I short time, that office will notify the
person bitten if the animal was suf
fering with rabies or not," Bald Doc
tor Ly tie, the state veterinary, who
is here today on his way to Wallowa.
In case rabies are evidenced, the per
son should go to Portland at once
and be treated by the Pasteur pro-
'.cess, but as the disease does not take
definite shape until after twenty days
or more, the person need not be par
ticularly alarmed. While here Mr.
Lytle is looking into the Brill affair
'Where a dog is said to have died with
rabies. He does not believe the dis
ease will come this way across the
range but wil work over toward Asot
in and to Walla Walla perchance.
