The lnasna is composed of some of the most influential men in the country statesmen, scientists. socioIOKisti aufl professional men and they now have olubs in a numiier of the educational centers of the EBt. The plan of the nromiizntinn is briofiv as follows: First : To form a national council. composad of men of the highest type of intelligence ana integrity repre senting all seotions of the country, the function of which will be to de termine by a Bystem of balloting tbroueh the mails, from nominations by its members, the problems t nnimidtired bv the league. Seoond : To organize, for the dis cussion of these problems, non-parti san olubs in as many oities and towns as possible throughout the country, Third : To providebureaus to assist the clubs in seourins speakers ior their meetings. Fourth : To annoint suecial corn. mittees to study and investigate the sobtects discussed and to submit re Dorts covering their findings. These reports, if approved by a two-thirds vote of the National Oounoil, would be printed and disseminated as widely as possible. What the League hopes to accom plish is as follows : First : To have the great issues be fore the country directly initiated by the best independent thought rather than left, as now, to the exigencies! of political conventions. Heonnd : To have these issues fairly and fully discussed before non-partisan audiences in all parts of the coun try by the ablest speakers obtainable representing all sides of a question. Third : To secure the judgment of impartial expert commissions upon the issues considered, and, through the widest possihe dissemination of their findings, to furniBh to the people in oouoise form Bach information as will assist them to reach intelligent conclusions and enable them to choose as their political leaders the men who are most likely to represent the conn try's best thought and ideals. For the purpose of determining whioh of the subjects named below were of the nioBt importance a vote has been reoently taken. The pre ferential system was eniployedin ordtr to obviate the necessity of a third ballot. The following is the result : First Direct legislation, including direct primary nominations, diiecc eleotion of Ulnted States senators, in itiative, referendum and recall, 85 per cent; second, inotlioiency and dolay of the courts in the administration of justice, 19 per oent; third, regulation and control of corporations, 8 per cent; fourth, centralization of power in thefedoral government. 7 per cent; fifth, conservation of natural re sources. 8 per cent; sixth, the tari3, Sporoont; seventh, the publio school system in relation to physical, intel lectual, oivio, moral and vocational training, 6 per oent; eighth, efficien cy and economy in federal, state and municipal administration, 7 per cent; ninth, corporation influence in poli tics, 3 por cent ; tenth, taxation, 3 per oent; eleventh, relation between em ployer and workmen, 8 per oent. As a seoond and tlnal choice, direct eleo tion secured GO. 5 per cent and ineffi ciency and dolay in the courts 4a. 6 per cent. The method of determining the preferential vote .was' as follows: A count was made of the first choices for each subject, the result showing that direct legislation as a first preference had secured 85 per oent of all the votes cast. The bal lots for the subject reoeiving the smallest number of votes wore then redistributed according to the prefer ence of the voters and another count was niado. This eliminating process was continued until only the two sub jects receiving the greatest number of first, second, third and other votes re mained. The result of the vote may be summed up as follows: As between tho first and second sub jects on the ballot a majority of the voters favored the first. As against all of the other subjects votod upon, majority of the voters favored the first two. These questions, therefore, direct legislation, and inefficiency and delay iu the administration of jistice, may be considered to be the choice of the National Oounoil as the subjeots of greatest importance tor considera tion by tho country at the present time. The advanced legislation of the , Why a Checking Account? The checking account at good bank Is a necessity with everyone who wants to put system safetynduMity Into his moneymatters.

The Bank of Oregon City The Oldest Bank in the County state of Oregon on the first proposi tion lias been brought to the attention of many of the legislatures now in session in many of the eastern states, and in a number of instances members of different state legislatures have been elected on direct legislation their platform. The time will come when all the states will enact d rect legislative measures, but, like all great reforms, it will take time. OEORQE WASIilNOTON MEMORIAL ASSO CIATIOW It has been suggested that steps be taken on Washington's birthday tl vcar to organize branch societies the National George Washington Memorial Association, at organiza tion that was incorporated in Wasli ington in 18'J8 to bring about a popu lar memorial that would oarry out Washinaton's insistent wish for the increase of higher education in thi oouutry. A reorganization took place two years ago, and Airs, lleury t Dimock of New York became presi dent. Mrs. Dimock belongs to that class of wealthy society women who use their means, time and influence to increase the general good, not by indiscriminate ohainty or public bo nevolouce. but by promoting enter Drises in which Americans who asoii to better their own conditions and to advance their fellows may engage With Mrs. Dimock originated the re markable conception of a memorial which has won the nneqmvocal en dorsement of publio imen, important national societies and leading edu cators. Every citizen is entitled to form his own opinion as to tins effect of the proposed memorial, from a definite statement of its purposos. The use to whioh the building will be devoted and for whioh it will be designed to provide a world forum for every worthy cause that requites national or international coventions, wicn sufficient auditoriums and halls to ao commodate any size of assembly, and different conventions at one time should need arise: to provide centra executive offices for permanent and temporary movements whose objects can best be attained by snob accom modations: to provide the most mod em facilities in building accommoda tions for conference, and other aotiv ities by bodies that are moving hu inanity to a higher plane; and to se cure all this as a free gift by the American poeple to the races of the world for all time. The building will be constructed from the best designs obtainable, and from the most dur able materials. Its style will com port with its lofty uses, and the structuie alone will be a Mecca for lovers of the beautiful everywhere. In noint ot chaste magnificence, it is exjieccea mat una uuiiuiug win uum lenge comparison with any moon mental work. The location on a oon venient site in Washington of thii great institution will lift our national capital to a plaoe of equal interest with any city or tne globe. KEEP THE BALL ROLL1NQ The recent appropriation of seventy five million dollars by the stockhold ers of the Harriman system for the purpose of bettering their system is taken by eastern financial men to mean that there is no present prospect of any depression in business circles Although Harriman spent nearly four times that amount w lien lie nrsc ao- oulred control of the Union and Southern Pacific in extension and im provement of old road beds, still, con eidering the teudenoy of railways in general to favor retrenchment wher ever possible, this is an amount suffi oient to keep a large number of labor. ing people employed for a long time to come. It has been feared that tne completion of the Panama canal and two or three transcontinental railway lines now in process of construction would relieve so many laborers in the near future that there would be a glut in the labor market and that the labor thrown out of employment might seriously affect the prosperity of the country. Now that one of the lareost svstems in the country has resolved to expend an immense sum in keening their roads in first-class condition it meaus that other roads will be oompelled to follow their ex ample and thus there is a likelihood that there will be no cheok in our in dustrial conditions. Just think of it. Seventy-five millions of dollars to be expended by one corporation. That amount would be almost sufficient to comtruct another transcontinental railway. More than twelve million dollars of this amount is to be expend ed iu double-tracking and extending the lines of the Harriman system in Oregon. Twelve million dollars ex pended by the Harriman people and an equal amount by the Hill interests means muoh to Oregon. It will keep thousands of people employed for a long time, and the new country that will be opt'uert up in eastern Oregon will undoubtedly be the means of at tracting untold nnmbers of settlors to that region. l)ut eastern Oregon will not be the only section of the Btate to profit by the immense outlay. The extensions proposed by the Hill in terests in the Willamette valley and tho wide advertising this section is receiving from flattering notices printed in eastern papers is an indica tion that this section will not be en tirely overlooked by people looking for more favorable locations. The people of tho Willamette valley ought to be well organized, and efforts should be made to distribute an abuu dauce of literature sotting forth the advantages of this locality. No time should be lost. A large number of American farmers are settling in the Canadian provinces for lack of infor niatiou concerning Oregon's advan tups. High taxes and small crops cause unrest among the agricultural cinsses in lar eastern points and now is the time to distribute information oncoming the innumerable induce inputs of this looality. THE RECIPROCITY MUDDLE Apparently the reciprocity agree mont with Canada has placed the Re publican party in a worse plight than it was in just after the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. It waB then rent asunder bv the secession the so-called progressive elements, but now senator Cummins, the leader the progressives, refuses to sanction the progressive attitude of the presi dent, asserting that the farmers of the West have much to lose and nothing to gain. senator Cummins' view have evidently undergone a chang since the debate on the fayne nieas are in the senate, as at that time he was one of tiie leaders iu favoring reduction of the duties on all articles necessary to cheapen the cost of liv ing. Senator Late Youog, the other Iowa senator, is opposed to everything that Oummins advocates, but on the treaty question they seem to have had some sort of an argeement and both oppose the measure. The house Democrats will unanimously support the bill, but the senate Democrats while they are favorably disposed, are afraid that President lart will gain some kind of advantage, and are hesi tatiug. All of which goes to show that the average senator does not care a rap for the country at large and is only looking out for some samll luter euts in the state he represents and his own chances of re-election. It is well enough for representatives to watch out for the interests of their constitu ents, but senators are supposed to represent the whole people and favor such measures as will be of the most benefit to the masses. It looks very much as if the old fight over the Payne bill will have to be gone over again, with very little probability of this congress taking any action. l'ie next few days will doubtless decide the matter. The Boy Scout movement through ont the country has increased bo rap idly that they are now going to have a nations! annual convention, the first one of.whioh will be held in Washing ton next week. It will gather to gether the leaders of the movement in various parts of the country, who will report on the growth of the movement and make plans for the en suing year. The council will be re ceived b yfresident Tatt, who is an honorary member of the organization, and he will probably deliver an ad dress couoerning the aims of the movement. More than 800,000 boys hae been orgauized into troops uu der scoutmasters sinoo last March, and thousands more are expected to be enrolled before another season closes. No other boys' organization ever developed so fast, because no other organization ever appealed to so many phases of a boy's life and at the same time developed his character and the spirit of service to his fellow beings and his country. The recent demands of railway mail clerks for shorter hours or increased compensation will bring to the at tention of the country actual condi tions in the mail service. The inves ligation ordered by the postmaster general cannot stop with the mail service," as incompetency and inefi oiency in higher branches of the ser vice has long been known. The post- office department is not supposed to be a paying institution, but the fact that it was conducted at a loss of nearly six million dollars last year is reason for some sort of investigation and an attempt to place it nearer a paying basis. The British postal profit for 1110 was over twenty -four million dollars, and there is appar ently no reason why there should be such an enormous shortage in the op eration of our postofflce department. The people will insist on good service but they want that service performed at the lowest possible cost Tiie Crumpacker resolution, increas- ng the number of representatives to 4il3 has passed the house and will probably pass the senate. Under this pportionraent California gains three representatives, Washington two, while Oregon, with more natural ad vantages than either Btate possesses, gains only one. What excuse is there for letting our neighbors surpass us? it because they have more live ires, better roads, and have more extensively advertised these attrac tions? It cannot be the climate as Oregon's climatic conditions cannot he surpassed in the United istates. Possibly Oregon has too much law to suit timid investors. There must be a reason, and whatever it is should be remedied if it lies in the hands of le people to do so. J. Pierpout Morgan expects at some future day to have a corner on air. He nas started in on hot air, by pnr- ohasiug a controlling interest in a number of the leading magazines. ith a combined circulation of more than 13,000,000 copies. When you see an editorial in a big newspaper based some magazine article you can make up your mind that it emanates from one of Morgan's hot air shops near Wall street and that it was rittten tor a purpose. J P. 's phil anthropic motives will be disclosed later. I The split in the Methodist church I iu 1814 over the question of salvery caused the formation of the Methodist ; Church and the Methodist Church l South. The leading representatives of these organizations in convention at Chattanooga recently claim that thete no louger exists acy necessity for two associations, and they have decided that their publishing houses in New York, Cincinnati and Chicago shall be known hereafter as the "Meth odist Book Concern.

In an address on the utilization of dairy products before the Oregon state dairy convention, Mr. James Withy combe claims that the cow of all ani nials on the farm takes the least from the farm'and retunrs the most to the farmer. The cow is the conservator ot wealth, because she manufactures from the ornde feed the highest priced products of the farm without with drawing much from its storehouse of fertility, or in other words the oow fattens the land. A good oow, well managed, will give a larger return for food consumed than any other farm animal. He recommends dairy men to purchase liberally concentrat ed feed for the herd, as this is one of the best means of maintaining the fertility ot the soil. President Taft is evidently on the eve of a rupture with the stand-ua element of the Republican party. In a ppeech at Springfield, 111., on Lin coin's birthdav the president warned the Republican nartv that if it per sisted in maintaining a high tariff in tnese days or high prices it would arouse opposition that would not cease until it had removed every ves nee of a protective tariff. The presi dout s remarks were 'received with cheers. The Oregon University at Eugene has a civil war veteran among its students in the person of W. C. Cu- sick, 69 years old.

OREGON NEWS NOTES This is farmers' week at the Oregon Agricultural Collegs and there is large attendance of those interested in agricultural problems. . Leotures and demonstrations of the greatest value to farmers are being given. These oover stockraising, dairying, horti ouiture, intensive farming, and prao tically evety branoh of the industry. The attendance is muoh larger than during the special short courses of for tner years and great interest is shown by farmers from all parts of the state. Central Oregon will hear the loco motive whistle for the first time this summer. Operation of the! Oregon trunk will probably be commenced to Madras early in March and somewhat later the uesolmtes railroad will run trains to Redmond. These new lines will mark the beginning of a new era oi settlement ior tbe whole region east oi the Oascade moutains. The formation of a syndicate to clear logged-off lands of Southwest Washington and place them on th market is a step that might be fol lowed with profit on this side of the Columbia river. These lands, once cleared, are among the moBt valuable lor diversified farming, fruit growing and dairying. To put them in use is to make a great addition to the wealth of the state. Two additional salmon hatcheries on the lower Columbia river are pro vided for in the bill passed this week by the united States senate, appropri atiDg (50,000 for the purpose. If this measure passes the house it will mean a great deal to the salmon industry of the Northwest, adding largely to the wealth taken annually from the Co lumbia and its tributaries.
