Little Ground Lost
State House, Salem. (By Mail). Thus far Governor
Tierce and his prohibition head, George Li. Cleaver, do not
' seem to be- losing .much ground before the alcoholic com
mittee. It is our opinion that as far as the investigation has
been carried sentiment is rather switching to Mr. Cleaver.
One thing is as sure as the rains of the Willamette,
'the state senate of Oregon as a body is going to render a
decision in favor of Cleaver and the governor if they are
entitled to that decision. Should the investigating commit
tee find nothing wrong with the department there will be
enough members of the senate say so to make it positive
and well understood.
We do not believe there is. any disposition to make of
this committee a prosecuting committee as has been charged. I
I
Of all the propaganda ever floated through a legislative
lxidy the child labor amendment advocates have the record.)
,'Not a day passes but several new pieces of literature are
i deposited on the desk of each member, supporting the
amendment.
J Just , when the bust-up will come in this session, or
whether there will be a bust-up at all is now a question
I for debate. No legislation of great importance has thus
jfar been offered. Changes in
a few new ones of minor importance takes the time of the
two houses wln-u in session. Pome scent the big game this
' session as irrigation, for it is well known that the bond
jj holders or those who sold the bonds on the different proj
ects in Oregon are hern well represented by able talent.
Flan after, plan is being considered, but as yet nothing has
broke into the hopper on irrigation.
Motor bus people know how to organize for a session
and they have a lobby these days that makes the railroads
look' tame. The bills already introduced are irksome to
the bus people and with a big bus scheme brewing in Port
land which promises to compete very heavily with street
xar service yon can imagine just how interesting thin;:?
get .when lobbyir.ls attempt to argue their' case in the
corridors.
j
j ' Normal school talk hangs in festoons all over the state
house. The attempt to help Monmouth school has opened
the norni 'l school (iiest,iou as wide as it was in 1!U(I. It
is now as plain as the snow on Ml, Emily that in older
.to help Monmouth the legislature will have to install i
school at Ashland and one east of the ('asecade mountains.
This will require some real money and whether the move
ment will get past the ways and means committee re
mains to be seen. Asid- from the opinion of those win
are selfish enough to want institutions located in their re
spective towns the fact remains that Oregon is woefully
weak on teachers' trainii.g and it must be strengthened
even if we have ot bui'd two more schools to do it. Should
such a bill pass in all probability the referendum will be
tacked on it, but that may be all right, too, for have not
the people of Oregon the pinlound right under our form
of government to pass on all the work of a legislature, I
it good or bad ?

A neu-spaper in Detroit, the center ol the automobile
industry, stated very frankly that the new Willys
Overland line was the sensation ol the New VorV
Automobile Show. And the popular leader ot the
new Overland models is this all-siul Overland Sedan
That lull 5-pa'senger Sedan with a body nttrfly o,'
rtL with four doors, can be priced at $715 is the
surprise ol the automobile industry.
Such a car at such a price was bound to pet a tre
mendous welcome from the public Interest every
where centers on this car. Sales are passing all goals
originally set for it.
The Overland Sedan's steel body construction pro
vides not only greater strength and endurance, but
gives you the greater safety of greater driving vision.
Kor steel eliminates bulky wooden body posts. See
this car. See it today.
