STATE OUARNTY
Representative P. .1. 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.
To COUnteTSd the baneful efforts nf
such men. it is not enough that we privatt I)
condemn them. Every true Anuieian inilM
guard his birthright in this great demo
eracy. We have fought a war to tnak tli
Vorfd safe for democracy, while permitting
ts enemies here at home to sow seeds id
dissatisfaction which if carried to the ulti
in. lie would make democracy unsafe for the
world.

Ultimately, If the national government
does not solve the problem, such a measure
will receive public favor and i-iui be made
