THE SPEAKER RISK KILL.
In considering the vetoed bill this
legislature seems Inclined to, some
time during the session, look favonu
bly upon and probably pass the Speak
er Rusk bill of last session which
provides (or a second . choice by the
voters. The bill always seemed to
us a good one, and In the Interest of
fairness we never could understand
why Governor West vetoed the meas
ure unless It was to protect some po
litical game that he bad on with oth
er officials. It certainly looked as
though that was the only reason.
The senate this session bas already
gone behind the Rusk bill and will
fight for It throughout the session,
while the house la fuddling with it
back and forth. .But there is a possi
bility of It passing both houses and be
coming a law which would mean that
a lot of foolishness bas , been ; done
away with In elections in Oregon.
The, Rusk bill is well known to every
reader quite likely and needs no
planatlon. It means that the voter
ball have a second choice on election
as well as a first choice. Other states
that have this law working say It Is a
good thing and it stands to reason
that It would be.

GO TO) 'E3I, LAIR.
Our confidence in Senator Lair
Thompson, of Lakevlew, Is crowing
It always was good sufficient, but Lair
Thompson is showing speed In legis
lative matters. Ho Is showing that
the organization does not dominate
blm, neither d oes( the "mighty" gov
ernor. When this session will have
finished the name of Lair Thompson
will have been connected with almost
every fight for good legislation that
occurs in the legislature and he will
bave been a stumbling block to many
f the corporations whose "pussy-footing"
lobbyists are always watchful
for tbo interests of their masters. I
Go to 'em, Lair, you are from the
cow country where you don't have to
bow the bead or bend the knee to any
man who offices in a story building, or ,
owns a string or mines, or naa

Editor Observer Dear Sir I would
like to say a few words about' this'
compulsory vaccination scare. Now
I believe that this remedy is ten times
worse than tbe disease and to my
knowledge bas utterly undermined
the health of . many children. Just
think of having oiir loved o'nes Inocu
lated with a lot of filthy viruB. The
wlole scheme Is illegal and would de
prive us of the liberty granted us by
the constitution of the United States,
to care for and protect our children
from all danger and sickness without
Interference from anyone.
The whole proceeding is uncalled
for and Is not Justified by any - epi
demic existing In La Grande at the
present time.

WSllGHlATIOJi LAWS
After years of discussion concern
ing the need of more adequate lmm'.-
gratlon laws, tho matter has now,
come to a head here and a movement
bas been launched which It is hoped
will result In the remedying of exist-1
Ing conditions, particularly by exclud
ing more carefully from this country
aliens suffering from mental disorders
whether In the advanced or early stag!
es. While the movement has taken
form here, It is of the greatest inter

But what happens when our atten

we spend time In reading atv adver

old undesirable goods being forced on
us like bitter pills with a sugar coat-livg?
Such advertising does the mer-
chant more harm than good. What

thing Important to offer? Won't
people think It's the same story of

It's the advertiser who plugs right

tisements that wins. People read his
ads because he takes large space and
it c reates Interest and b uslness be
