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.

Mr. Ilartzell worked for that firm
once before and he is oinr back be
cause he prefers that kind of work to
that in the shops.
The -Kveiiiiitf OIisitvcI' weeks niitl weeks nit said bus
iness would have to takenuie of two eiiiirses--ei her suffer
the geiienil drop, drop, drop in eoiiiinodit ies and labor,
or have re-inflat ion. 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. Their teai-hinn is against;
Mich a tiling and our leaching I'iually controls us wiiether
Ave be bankers, ranchers, or railroad men. Thus, it would
M'eni that- hankers of the, country, having rown tiretl
of idle piles of money in their vaults now seek in'(s1 nient
that willl jrive returns, with the result that re-inflation
to some extent, is now on and is bound to o-ct liiyer. No:
one Ijcoks for the hip. hip, hurrah inl'lalioii we once had
in this country when the safest and sanest business men
lost their heads and went plmiu'iiiir like a chariot! horse,
