BUT IT NEEDS REPAlIfflXG.
Some of our friends, Including Bro.
Flagg of Elgin, have "said consldiera
Ue relative to the Observer's opinion
of Oregon's delegation In congress as
a product of the Oregon system. Mr.
Flagg defends and ' almost praises
Chamberlain. ,
X Why any man who believes In re
publican principles should eulogize
Chamberlain's political career Is be
jona understanding. Personally no
Jollier, more pleasant man ever walk ed
the soil of Oregon, and when per
sonalities are considered there can be
little objection to Bourne and non
to Oswald West, but the Observer con
fined Us opinion wholly to these men
os officials officials paid by the tax
payers. We cannot positively say
they were elected by taxpayers. j
The system which Is responsible for
1111 ' . , - n . .
a conuiuon existing in uivgon neeus
repairing and In course of time It will
be revised and repaired. In order, to
get away from an obnoxious political
ring the voters have bom w'lling to
:mcad
iff
earre
accept what was offered so long as it
as opposit'3-.
The cunning ones have taken ad
vantage of the people's desire to free
themselves from, political ringsters of
tie old Bcbool, and they have swung
the pendulum to the other extreme. It
is the history of most' reform move
ments too far either one way or the
other. .' '. . ". ,'.',.
Oregon Is now going through that
epoch of, re-adjustment and during
which there will be some repairing
done to what Is termed the "system."
t People of this state will not sit by and
be satisfied with hypocritical politics
whin they can do a little adjusting
themaelvts and thus eliminate many
undesirable and unite pen dabbi . men
who nominate themselves forofflce.
, Taere Is no danger ot this state, or
any other state in thi union ever
again following .the old rut which
permitted senatorial candidates to buy
legislators. ' As It Is now a man must
have a great deal of . money to spend
If fa makes a rati? for the senate but
he cannot buy legislators with it. The
money must be sown In a broadcast
manner In doing things which are
looked upon as legitimate. ,' .;
' The most ardent admirer of tins en
tire congressional delegation must ad
mit the "system" as It operates now
fails to select men who actually rep
resent Oregon and her resource. So
far there has been not one farmer
named for, an office of Importance.
Why Is this? Because as a rule the
farming class IS not of the brazen type
that goes about the country nominat
ing themselves for office. V , ...-',;
" There have been" but very, very
!V-w merchants asked to hold office
under the Oregon system, no mill-men
and few, If 'any bankers.
With these men eliminated you
eliminate those who really have Ore
gon and her welfare at heart.
Let us see what class of men do
hold office In this state. Congress
man Hawlty Is a wry ordinary attor
ney. Johnathan Bourne is an attor
ney whose law practice never bother
ed him much, Geo. E. Chamberlain la
nn attorney but he nevur worked very
hard at the profession, and Congress
man Lafferty Is aUo an attorney, wo
are told.
