COMMITTEE FOR PRIMARY IMPROVEMENT The Uepublieaii central committee of Union county, v-liich is tlie organization sponsoring J-ulili'iiu priuci rjjlcs throughout the year, lias gone on reif rtl Avith a desire to improve the present primaiy law. it is a worthy step, hut people should not throw np their hands and say," they want the old convent in back again", for such is'not the case. 2o fair-minded .Republi can wants a return of the 'corrupt, bossed convention. On the other hand, no fair-minded Republican brieves that the present primary Jaw is divine and not subject to improvement. . 4 . The committee does not want, to abolish the primary in any maimer whatsoever, but it does seek to provide (some guidance, to have the parly in Orcgi n stand for rionrethiug; to have some principles which today are nev er put before the electorate. To do this there must be some kind of a meeting of men and wfnieii interested in Republican principles and out of that conference a platform can be written and u dop'ted for candidates to stand upf n, and if they do not htouid there they have no right to run as Republicans. " The New York primary law has been suggested as an inipi1i:yeinent over the Oregon law and we believe it is an improvement,, In that state a' conference is held and a platform is written, and at the same lime candidates for the different oil ices are recommended only, 11ns does not shut out anyone from running, and if the m inference should berime corrupt or err in judgement; the free right of run ning, another candidate is preserved. Under this plan Oregon -would be relieved from the Johnny-Jump-ups anil the self-centered boys nominating Ihemselves; it would be relieved of influences entering into party politics which do not belong there. Unquestionably ihe Union County Republican Cen tral committee lias taken the (first step to achieve a sane primary procedure for the'state; 'To 'our mind it is a his torical step, for the entire party in the state has been wait ing for some county to take the lead, all knowing that t he primary law needs improving, llor its expense and results are not what the state either wants or can ail'ford.

Our juduiiiieMt then was that re-iufl i tioii was veny liable to ccnie, for the reason that America holds the wealth of the world', and it seemed lo us that bankers would hold their WiA on the brake about so lony and then they would inrrease the business speed. The speed is inereasiiifr. Harden Ctilfax, writing in 1he Portland Oreonian, says the banks of the Tniled Stales are buliu with idle eretlit, and that 10 b.llions of dollars lie unused in t he nat ions van II s. liankei's ablijor idle money.
