Gallagher of this district is the author of measure designed to solve the problem of financing new Irrl nation projects in Oregon arhich will com mend itself to the residents of this lection, where the potential wealth of the countrj is as useless today as it w;is when Columbus discovered America. Under the prorisions of Mr. Gallagher h plan which, howerer, is uol s new one to Western legislatures, the State thru i prop erlv constituted board, would, alter B thoro examination of the proposed Irrigation dis triet. guarantee the interest and principal of the bonds of the district to the purchasers. The Stati- board WOUld have the DOWer ti compel the levying of necessary taxes to meet these obligations and enforcement would be secured by tirst right of foreelos ure on behalf of the State. While there are many admirable feat ures in the proposed law that would inure to the benefit of practically oven section of Eastern Oregon, it is almost beyond belief that the present legislature will take the plunge In State socialism which this nieas ure approaches. To secure the passage ot such a law will require enormous work in lining up the Multomah delegation, as well as the lawmakers from the timbered count us of the West side not directh benefitted, unless the terms of the bill be made to in dude logged off and swamp lands. Hut the greatest difficulty which the bill will encounter will be due to fault methods in irrigation nnanee which hav tions Were necessary only during the reic.ii of monarch! ot' the Hohensollern type, in dor our present representative form of gov eminent we have in the past 147 years . chieved greater reforms thru the process ot poltical evolution than were dreamed id' b the leaders of the great revolution against George III. All these things have come about be cause of the genius of the American people for self government, and while the leaders to a large degree were of Anglo-Saxon lenl age, The direct sctionist movement, the disgruntled socialistic pmpagands has Its direct foundation in the followers of Kail ftfan and the Tuctonie t pe of leaders wh i prcj upon the ignorant in the industrial centers. A glance at the list of names heading anv protest movement these days indicates thl origin of the men who are advising re volt to America ideals and casting slurs up on American institutions.
