Some of the vetoes air deserved. Jn others the governor oiinht to be overridden. The bill restoring the delinquent tax list to publiea tion should have heroine a law. Xo one know; imw wheth er his property is on the delinquent list or not. and the nrsent conditions', enable tax and title sharks to reap a harvest by preying on the unwary property owner. The bill compelling medical examination before issu ance of marriage licenses was a common sense measure. Doctors instead of preachers ought to do the marrying to prevent the spread of disease and the birth of enfee bled offspring with heredity taints, thus keeping the sins of the father from the third generation. If, as the gov eftior stated, "it was an insult to the men of Oregon," they ought to bo insulted, for a man that can't pass a phy sical examination has no more right to a matrimonial policy thairhc lias io an insurance policy. The ''sfrriliz.il ion" bill is a measure endorsed by sci entists anil the medical fraternity, and wherever tried proven beneficial. It also fell the governor's ax. Vetoing" the measure in salary bills for county officers was a grandstand play, calculated to win the applause of the niossbacks. As counties double and tbrible in popu lation, the work of the officials increases in proportion, and to keep them on the same par as u lieu the office was a sinecure is absurd. First-class men in any line receive good wages, ami a county school superintendent certainly ought to get as much pay as a school teacher. MllSISfi THE LEdlSEATlHE. YOUNG TO POSTMASTER IN SPITE OF FULTON Under the caption "End of the I lie session" the Grants Pass Observer, among other things, says of the legislat ure just adjourned : "The, session liuil liesl be ilescribetl us a tift enh intsc affair on a lurtjc seale. Tin lionse of rt pi t st nhil i res lt ' roleil almost lite whole of I he II iluis' lerm to rutin; airuii public money.

Tht fete members of It iislal ire eapucil 1 ami common prmli nee were not able hi si a the tttnti." This is a sample of the defamatory rot that is going the rounds of certain rabid partisan papers. I !y raising the cry of boodle and scandal they hope to prejudice the publie against the legislature. Rending a little further in the Observer, the real reason for the outburst of venom is disclosed in the following: "This letjislatttri: that Hut alutsi tl ils trust teas the sccoutl jirutluct of the primai a lair. Tin first product , the legislature of WOT, was quite as slua'tl tint mil ipt'itc so cottrateoitsli) 1 ct ra runtnut . " liecause the members of the legislature stood by iheir pledges, kept faith w itll the people and elerlrd the popular choice United Stales senator, no infamy is too great o heap upon them, and no accusation too foul lo hurl at. them by the press of the discredited machine. This legislature did not differ greatly from oilier leg islalures. It was representative of the slate. There was a lack of leadership apparent, but so is there among the people of ( Iregon. It. was not an extravagant legislature. The aumiinl of . money actually appropriated was not much greater than that appropriated by previous legislatures, a 1 0 1 llic state's revenue.- arc larger 11. .v than ever lie fore.

In this respect, it compares wry fa vorably with any legislature in ( Ircgou's histoty. The sen atorial deadlocks, the "holdup" session, the eorruplioii that tainted t he cut ire stale in the days of old are st ill fresh in the public mind and in comparison the session just closed is a decided relief. The old order change! h. No plott ing on the part of pol iticians, no falsehoods smeared broadcast hv newspapers, will succeed in undermining the direct primarv law and in restoring the regime which has passed away along with the roses and thistles of vesterdav.
