OREGON CITY COURIER PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHER M. J. BROWN, A. E. FROST, OWNERS. Subscription Price $1.30. Telephones, Main 5-1; Home A 5-1 Official Paper for the Farmers Society of Equity of Clackamas Co M. J. BROWN, EDITOR STOP THE LEAKS Portland has the probe into Multno mah county and the Citys government ana the disclosures ol looseness and innefficiency are a disgrace to Oreg' on. Of the health department the Journal says it is demoralized govern ment. It is government by accident. It is haphazard government. Clackamas County is going to dig into its public affairs and determine whether the charges of mismanage ment and looseness are true or false, and there is considerable talk in Ore gon City of having the probe started into city atlairs. Tillamook county is up in protest over alleged extravagance and polit ical rule in that county, and they sent representatives here to attend the mass meeting to determine the best means of an investigation of af fairs. The Courier office is in receipt of letters from taxpayers in Marion county asking for full information of this county's procedure in taking up a county investigation, and for by laws of the association that is forcing it. And so it goes. Oregon is awake and there are go ing to be investigations all over the state, and there are going to be chan ges in county government also as a result. The county court system does not satisfy. It is a rule of a trio. It is not representative. It takes away from the people their right to run their own affairs. Voters are protesting. They demand a change, a re-organization, a new system, and you may be sure it will come if the voters of Clackamas county stand by their rep utation of demanding and gettin things, There have been many suggestions and outlines of improved systems from the thinkers of this county. Out of these will be formed a whole that will better our county. The only thing is to everlastingly Keep up the agitat ion. No power can long stand against public sentiment, it it is strong enough and Jong enough. The Oregon System is known the world over as a representative system and a system to copy. In Oregon it has been disappointing in tne way oi results ot practical pocket book results. The people only are to blame for this. A new pail will answer all pur poses required of it. Punch a hole in it and it won t deliver the goods. Stop the leaks and we will have government that will produce UE TWO VIEWS CHANGES Do you realize how fast the com mon people are making their power lelt in this country ! Twice within a few months the con stitution of the United States has been chantred. because public senti ment has forced the legislatures to represent. We have the income tax amend ment. We have it because our legis latures dared not longer oppose the demands of the common people, lhis amendment will force those to pay taxes in proportion to their ability to pay. We should have had it a quarter ol a century ago. We have direct election of United States senators, and no more will we have the disgraceful spectacles of bribery and corruption, as we have seen in Illinois and other states. And we will have men in the Washington senate we can get to rrom now on The old oligarchy of the money power is passing in this country and potter days are coming. Every nook in this country is going to be searched out; every public of ficial must show a clean deck. The people realize their power and they are going to use it. The political crooK and tne grattor have got to go, By a vote of 75 to 47, Missouri has passed a law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes after January 1, 1914. At the next Oregon legislature I hope some membor will have sand enough to stand behind such a law. It would be interesting to note the roll call. For two years Woodburn has had a suit in litigation over the matter of payment of a saloon keeper's bond when he was found guilty of soiling liquor to a minor. And the stute su preme court decided that the bonds men must pay the $1,000 to the city of Woodburn. .This may be interesting to Oregon City. The bonds a saloon gives are one of the conditions for grunting a license. When they are violated, should not the bondsmen be holding? If not, why are they given? If so, why doesn't Oregon City demand the bond ing money ? There is universal sentiment again st holding a special election this Fall to refer the university appropriations tor new buildings. The business men of the state are not only opposed to the expense of the special election which with the women vote, would cost from $75,000 to $1000,000, but are opposed to uphoding up the ap propriation of a sum like $175,000 that is badly needed for buildings at the state university." Col. Hofer in Oregonian. To which H. J. Parkinson of Port land replies: "This is an injustice to those back ot the reterendum movement. "As has been stated before, the spe cial election will be called regardless of action taken on the university referendums. This, however, is not the greatest injustice done, me last .Legislative Assembly, in my opinion, passed many laws that were contrary and in opposition to tne Pest interests ot the people of he State of Oregon. Owing to these facts the Legislative Assem bly evidently saw that the referen dum would be applied. Therefore, in in order to make it as unpopular as possible this special election was called by them; and to make matters worse the emergency clause was at tached to this unjust law, making it impossible for the voters to apply the referendum and prevent the election. "These acts by the Legislature are in violent opposition to the principles of direct legislation. It is apparent that when our legislators pass object ionable laws, and tnen endeavor to prevent the use of the referendum up on them by passing an additional law making a special election, at an ex pense of $100,000 necessary before the voters can exercise their just ngnt ot passing upon all acts ot the Legislative Assembly, that this thing deteats the very purpose of legisla tion. It makes the referendum ineffec tive. If, for no other reason, I am in favor of a special election to stop this practice. "Colonel Hofer justly says that "the $175,000 is badly needed for buildings at the state university." No one pre tends to dispute this lact. 1 will go him one better, and state that there are but one or two permanent build ings at Eugene that is buildings that can be used for any great length of time. The rest of them must and should soon be torn down and replac ed if the university is to be left at its present site. For this very reason the rcrerendums are applied. The Uregon Higher Educational Institutions' Bet terment League will present construc tive legislation that will among other things, consolidiate the two schools. thus save the cost of constructing buildings at the university, and du plicating them in part, at the college. Now, until the voters pass upon this question, it is certainly ill advised to start building construction at the un iversity, where there is so little per manent improvement.

Mho educational measures in the ocent legislature went through on their merits, and were not matters of og-rolling, trading or politics." If this is so, then why were the merits f tho case not what the people desir ed and voted for last election, and hy were they not kept within the mils of the budget asked for by the regents of tho university, instead of multiplying that amount by three? lUCMinnville Kegister. Whether it is fashionable to save money or not, it is sensible. ''Spend and have a good time" is a popular slogan, but if you believe iu it aud practice it too strongly, you will never be rated high in the credit books. The nieu and women who keep their extra cash in the bauk until profitable investment opportunity arises, may have to forego some of the luxuries of their neighbors who make away with their entire income, but a few years will put a financial difference be tween them that no effort can bridge over.

But always look to the Last fall the people voted down an appropriation of half a million dol lars for the State University. It is stated by our exchanges that in the face of this action the last legislature appropriated $600,000 for the univer sity this year, after the university people had agreed to get along with $205,000. If this be true, it looks as if there are some fools who are incap able of learning even in the fool's dear school of experience. Wood burn Independent.

Studebakcr wagons are made to back up a reputation.' "I know, because wagons of every make come into my shop for repairs, and I have a chance to see how few are Studebakers." That's the opinion of thousands of blacksmiths who know the quality of Studebaler wagons. The owners never regretted that they bought SluJebaers. Tested materials, accurate workmanship insure a wagon unequaled for durability, and this careful selec tion of wood, iron, steel, paint and varnish has been a fixed rule with the Studebaker Company for sixty years. That is why a Studebaker wagon runs easiest and lasts longest. It is built on honor. Whether you live in town or country, there is a Studebaker vehicle to fill your requirements for business or pleasure and harness of every description made as carefully as are Studebaker vehicles.

"For stock running at large Yes" "Against stock running at large No." That is the way the instructions read on the ballot, and Judge Camp bell would like to know how any voter could vote "no" under such guidance.
