DIRECT LEGISLATION THE NATION'S PAR'
AMOUNT ISSUE
For a number of years, the National
Economio League lias been perfection
nlnna for the education of the Amen
nan nnonla on economio and iooial
probleniB.; The project provides I
meaus of securing an expression oi
the people on snch questions, and ri1
lias already been tried in New Eur
land with satisfactory results. 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 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

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

NEW THINGS
There are some new things in dentistry. We re
cieve them from time to time from our friends and
agents the celebrated dentists, Drs. Keefe of Chi
cago, who are on the lookout for good things for
the dentists and their patients.
There are many dentists traveling about the
country, staying a short time in a place and of
fering cheap work and new systems, but they do
not stay long, nor does their work. There are
people coming to our office every day who have
been victimized by unscrupulous dentists both in
Portland and Oregon City. When you select a
dentist, choose one who is known to do work that
lasts. We have practiced dentistry twenty-one
years in Oregon City, and can give you thousands
of references if you wish.
You are cordially invited to inspect our
offices and talk dentistry. No charges for same.
You loose money if you don't see about your teeth.
