OUR LEGISLATURE
Since the Initiative and referendum
passed and our people are rated as
capable law makers the majority to
rule, our Legislature is a sort of eo-
ond handed affair or an organisation
under the rule of thumb methods. If
after forty days and forty nights of
relfm.and a flood of laws are handed
down for the public to obey, some ot
us think that we dont like the way
the I-eglslature treated ua we ait
down and draw up a referendum peti
tion, secure the necessary number ot
aignatures and then pass it up to the
voter to say "I dont like It either.
We place a good "knocking" heading
on our bill and the majority of the
people vote "yes.' j
What is the use of the Legislature
If we are to undo their work? If we
cannot co away with one method or
law making in Its entirety, why tie
Its hands and feet and allow It to die
In agony? The Legislature Is a ne
cessity, and the best men in the var
ious communities should be encourag
ed to give their time and minds to
the Important work demanded of that
body. But, as long as we hinder them
In their work, it will be a difficult
matter to get the best men into the
game. Meantime, we continue to
bring up and pass matters through
two sources to the, detriment of the
state at large..
to satisfy the majority of the people
with a law understood by only a few
seems sn Impossibility. These diffi
culties will always come up with the
present system of law making by the
people. If we all wore lawyer and
hnd the time to atudy out tha nlggera
In the various proposed bills all well
and good, but we ar not all lawyers
and very few of us would take the
time if we could study the propostlons
presented.
MONEY
In this life we learn among our
first lessons that we can buy things
with money. As we grow up, we find
that some people will do most any
thing for money steal, kill and
even sell themselves. Very few suc
ceed In their money mad work without
detection. Their stories are told by
the daily press. Some go to prison;
others miss the searching of the grand
Jury. Their ains hurt them, but in
their mad ruth for money they wil
lingly do anything to cover them up.
They try to hide them behind the pil
lars ot some church, but evil will out
Their life work is the talk . ot the
neighborhood finally the daily press
views the situation and airs It
Conclusion: there Is one way to cor
rect the Injury that evil doing have
brought upon him; If he can only se
cure money the people will see that
he is wronged. Money, money, taint
ed money, how the world lovea thee.
SUIT FOR SALARY
LOST BY BURNS
OREGON CITY BEAUTIFUL
A stranger in Oregon City on Sat
urday remarked that he never aaw
greater signs of prosperity anywhere
than here. The atorea were all full
the streets showed men, women and
children In large numbers; new homes
are going up in all directions; new
streets being laid out and .traded;
automobiles on every corner. He was
amazed at the spirit shown, and ask
ed, "How do you do it?" We could
only answer that our large pay roll
stands behind our motto "la unity
there is strength."
Very few, of us consider the great
value of our industrial plants. Just
a week ago Salem paid a bonus of
13000 for a small factory just to get
more pay roll We don't need to pay
bonuses, we have the best Industrial
pay rolls in the state and with a it
tie encouragement it would probably
be an easy matter to induce further
investment here, all of which means
"More pay roll." Shall we aid?
LOVERS OF LABOR
A man high up in political and legal
life some two years ago sold a farm
to a hard working man with a large
family to support; the note given in
part payment became due about a
month ago; the man meantime had
greatly Improved the place, had clear
ed many acres and expected this sea
son to get large returns, more than
sufficient to make the payment due.
On demand be asked for time; the
man's wife begged for time but mon
ey mad men cannot give time; they
must have money. The poor man lost
his farm; he was driven off. The
original owner had a perfect right to
do as he did; he had the law on his
side. The records of Clackamas Coun
ty show the transaction. Does this
show love for labor? Does this ac
tion, show the original owner trying
to aid the poor laborer to better him
self? But such Is the work of the
money mad.
THE MOLALLA RAILROAD
Pay by day the good work goes on
and It will only be a short while be
fore our Molalla road Is In operation
The contract covers the work to Sit
verton but can be cancelled at Molal
la if desired: Now that work is be
gun In earnest It will be an easy task
to get subscriptions to carry the road
the rest of the distance, and when the
people see the Canby-Molalla road fall
by the way side there will be more
boosters for the road which taps the
best part of the Molalla valley.
We have the real thing taken Into
camp and by winter everybody will
be a Clackamas Southern booster.
Those romoting this road deserve
better than can be given them by this
community.

There U an Orphanage at Oswego
100 or more girlg who have never had
an automobile ride. Why not, go
with 40 machines and take them all
for a "Joy ride" for such It most cer

What better work could be done?
THE ELKS ARE COMING
Rose Shows are now past history.
Booster and Bargain Days are paying

In Its work.

What will the automobile club do
about the many good roads bills to
be voted on at the next general elec

GARY'S DECISION
State Superintendent ot Schools
Alderman has upheld the decision of
County Superintendent Gary in the
case of the dismissal by the directors
ot Tbmas B. Lovelace, teacher of the
Viola District Mr. Gary held that the
evidence was not sufficient to justify
the dismissal of the teacher. It Is
thought that Lovelace will make an
effort to collect his salary for the full
term. The controversy started over
a complaint that the janitor of the
school did not keep the building clean.
As a result the directors waited upon
Lovelace, and a fisticuff occurred be
tween him and Thomas Cocker line, in
which the teacher was severely beat
en. He was dismissed several days
later by the directors, and appealed
to Superintendent Gary.

Holding that In order to obtain his
salary he must first establish his ti
tle to the office. Circuit Judge Eakln
Wednesday decided In favor of the
defendant In the case ot Charles K.
Hums, appointed Chief ot Police by
Mayor Dlmlck, against the city. The
council by vote ot eight to one re
fused to approve the appointment ot
Burns, and has made a fight for the
retention of & U Shaw. Bums act
ed as chief tor four months, aud Shaw
is still acting, but neither has receiv
ed any salary. Krtends of Shaw aay
the decision la a victory for him
while friends ot Burns declare that
nothing la settled except that he can
not obtain hia salary until he proves
through some other legal action than
the suit for salary that he la the
chief. I'nder the decision Burns must
nay coots. The plaintiff was represent
ed by Cros Hammond and the de
fendant by J. E. Hedges.
Judge Eakln dismissed the counter
claim of the city against Burns tor
1795 said to have been overpayment
ot salary when Burns was chief sev
eral years ago. The opinion in part
follows:
The charter ot the city provides:
"Sec. 45. The mayor has power
and it is his duty to organise, govern
and conduct the police force within
the limits aforesaid and shall to that
end:
1. Appoint a Chief ot Police and a
suitable force ot regular policemen.
such appointee to be confirmed by a
majority of the Council'
While Section 57 of the charter pro
vides:
"Sec. 57. The Chief of Police and
his sureties shall be responsible to
the city or any person aggrieved the
same as sheriffs and their sureties
now are. Before entering upon the
duties of his office, be shall file a
bond In such sum as the Council may
fix by ordinance, which bond shall be
approved by the Mayor, and subscribe
and take an oath that he will faithful
ly perform the duties ot Chief rT Po
lice during his continuance in office.
Every regular policeman, ahall etc,"
Ordinance No. 122 provides as follws:
"Sec. 1. The amount of the official
bond to be required by the Chief ot
Police shall be and hereby is fixed at
Two Thousand Dollars ($2000.00.)"
It will be seen from these provi
sions of the charter and ordinances
of the city, and from the evidence ad
duced at the trial, that the plaintiff
was not at the times alleged in the
complaint the regularly qualified
Chief of Police of the defendant city;
and If he was acting In the capacity
ot Chief at all, he waa only acting aa
an officer de facto and not as one de
Jure.
But this Is an action against the city
for the salary of Chief of Police, In
which capacity, plaintiff alleges be
waa duly qualified and acting, which
facts are denied by the defndant but
whether or not he is the qualified
Chief of Police ot this city cannot be
determined in this action, to do so
would be to adjudicate the right ot
E. L. Shaw (the other claimant to the
omce) to said office, but be Is not a
party to this action .and judgment in
this action would be of no effect
against him. Before he could be ad
judged to be acting without authori
ty, he would have a right to be heard,
and the city is not authorized to ap
pear tor him, any more than it is auth
orized to appear for plaintiff.
Consequently, no judgment which
this Court could make In this case
could determine the right to the of
fice as between the plaintiff and E. L.
Shaw, the actual Incumbent of the of
fice. This question was fully discussed
and decided in the case of Selby vs.
City of Portland, reported In the 14
Or., at page 243.
It is therefore clear that the title
to the office cannot be determined In
his action. And It seems to me, as
clearly, to follow, that the plaintiff
cannot maintain an action for the sal
ary of the office until title thereto has
first been determined.
If plaintiff is occupying the office
merely de facto he Is not entitled to
the salary, even though there be a
vacancy in the office. His Incumbency
would be wrongful, and be cannot
make advantage to himself by his
own wrong, consequently his right to
maintain an action for the salary per
taining to the office must depend upon
his first establishing his right to the
office.

Starvasnik, who had a wife and

ago he departed with Frang Laben to
seek work In the Colorado mines,

before. Since then nothing had been
beard from him until the news of his
death.
No reason to suspect foul play Is
known nor is any cause for suicide
known.

Cries of "Hadley for President"
brought forth a demonstration that
kept the Republican national conven
tion In an uproar for more than 40
minutes.
Cheers greeted the Missouri govern
or when he waa led to the front ot
the stage during argument on hla mo
tion to purge the roll of contested
delegates. Someone cried "HadleyJ
for president, and hundreds of vole-
took it up. Then the different del
egatlon began marching around tb
ball.
A woman In one the galleries un
furled a large lithograph of Theodore
Roosevelt. Immediately the clamor
increased. She was escorted to the
front ot the convention hall and lift
ed to the press box. The din became
erriftc. finally the police requested
her to return to her seat In the gnl-
lery. She obeyed, still carrying rem
nants or .the picture-
After the short recess Judge Rob
ert E. Morris declared that the charges
or fraud in Ariiona were baseless and
defended the action of the Arizona
state committee in calling the regu
lar state convention which elected
the Taft delegates.
'Everything was regular and In ac
cord with the exact procedure of the
party," he declared. The Roosevelt
men started to Invalldats the state
convention by flimsy, fictitious con
tests to keep the representation below
the legal figure. We took steps to pre
vent this, and when bese sharp tricks
railed 'hey begun to shout fraud
I deny, that the central committee
was controlled by federal office hold
ers. There were three officials among
13. And the charge circulated here
Is absolutely false and without found
ation." "They say there was fraud." yelled
Morris. "I throw the charge Into their
teeth. All that was used by Taft
men was parliamentary tactics. The
fact of the matter was that ha Re
publicans whether they were Demo
crats " ,
Thomas H. Devlne, of Colorado,
who is slated for chairman ot the
credentials committee, should the Taft
people control, spoke against the Had
ley amendment. He expressed sur
prise over the Hadley amendment,
saying the governor had endorsed the
committee when it had ruled In his
favor In the Missouri cases. . Devlne
said Hadley "only stood by agree
ments when it waa to bis interest to
do so," snd the assertion was hissed,
booed and Jeered by the Roosevelt
delegates.
Devlne. who Is a member of the na
tional committee characterized the
action of the Roosevelt forces in stir
ring U!) the contests in the south as
"the most damnable In the history of
the Republican party."
"The evidence before the commit
tee," Devlne said "showed that an
emissary from the north, whether
loded or unloaded I don't know went
down into the south from 30 to 60
days after the regular delegates had
been honestly elected, and stirred up
certain contests and engineered rump
conventions."
Every statement by Devlne was re
ceived with cheers from the Taft men
and with wild Jeers and hisses from
the Roosevelt forces.
"Let me tell you something," shout
ed Devlne. "Out of the 107 contests
from the south filed before tha com
mittee 101 of the names placed on the
temporary roll were put there by the
unanimous vote of the national com
mute, the Roosevelt men voting with
the Taft men."
"There are 107 counties In Texas
which never held a Republican con
vention," shouted Devlne. 'They are
mostly peopled by prairie dogs and
Democrats. Rut Colonel Lyon sends
out to his friends a list ot what he
wants done and he gets It done."
Hadley then called on C C. Middle
ton of Texas, who, he said, was a Taft
Instructed delegate, to argue the Tex
as case for the Roosevelt men.
Mlddleton began by saying tbat he
expected to cast his vote in the In
terst of President Taft, but that he
wanted to deny Devine's charges and
his "damnable assaults on the char
acter of the Republican party In Tex
as and on Colonel Lyon.
"I am for President Taft," shouted
Mlddleton, "but this thing of cussln'
out Cecil Lyon Is unfair. He has
built up an organization In Texas in
which the gates of hell will not pre
vail." John Mackey of Detroit spoke
against the Hadley amendment and
immediately attacked the fairness of
the Roosevelt forces.
The mention of PresMent Taft's
name was marked by a brief cheer
ing demonstration during which the
Taft men climbed on their chair.
Charles P. Taft, the president's
brother, led the cheering from his
seat with the Ohio delegation and ap
peared to be enjoying himself im
mensely. Maurice L. Gavin of Kentucky at
tacked the Roosevelt contests from
the blue grans state, characterizing
them as 'unfair and without merl t or
foundation."

REASONS 1Y REVISED CHARTER SHOULD BE ADOPTED
In proposing a new charter for Ore
gon City the committee had In mind
snd have attempted to present some
thing which would simplify the city
government aud reduce the number
of eltlcera and at the same time pre
serve the representation from the dif
ferent localities of the city, ,
' A council of nine member ha dem
onstrated Hint It Is difficult to get so
ninny together when prompt action
is required In any mutter, besides the
diversity ot opinion, as to detail and
sometimes aa to non-easentlnls, rend
ers It almost Impossible to get them
to agree on matters ot vital neces
sity to the city, and the best Interests
of the city suffer In the meantime.
Since the Inst general election, the
people of Oregon City have witnessed
a contest between the Mayor and
Council which has been undignified,
unbuslness Ilk and such as to attract
the attention unfavorably of people
nil over the slate of Oregon, and to
put Oregon City In a very unenviable
position. Without attempllong to pass
upon the merits ot the controversy be
tween the Msyor and he City Council,
we wish to call attention of the peo
ple of Oregon City to these matters
only for the purpose ot emphasising
some ot the proposed changes In the
c'ly charter, aa such conditions could
not exist under It.
In view ot the foregoing fuels th
committee. In section ft of the propos
ed charter, made and provided for the
election of fivo rounrllnien Instead of
nine. In order tbat each section of
tha city would be Insured representa
tion In Ihe city council, the new char
tor provides that one councilman
should be elected from each ward, and
that two councllmvn should be elect
ed at large; that the councllinvn from
the wards should be elected for three
years, and the councilman at large
should be elected for two years, aud
so arranged the election that after
the gem ml election In 1913. two coun
oilmen only would be elected each
year. Ihe recall Is still retained so
that any, or all, of the councllmen
may bu recalled at the pleasure ot the
voters, subject only to the provisions
of the Slate constitution, t'nder these
provisions, unless recalled, there will
always be three councllmen In office
who have served, at least, one year.
The proposed charter doea away
with electing a Mayor. The council
men. each year after taking their
seats, will elect a chairman from one
of their members, who will be mayor
for one year. This provision Insures
entire harmony between the majority
of the council and the presiding of
ficer, and It effectually prevents a sit
uation such as Is now witnessed be
tween the mayor and council, and Is
largely responsible for the luck of co
operation which at times displays It
self In the police force. It, also, pre
vents a man from becoming mayor
through the votes of people who vote
under promise of appointments, or
other promise In favor of certnln
person or classes, and detrimental to
the city at large. (These provisions
aro contained In section t of lbs pro
posed charter.)
The other olTlcers of the city, ex
cept the chief of police, are appoint
ed by th council In practically the
siune mnnner as under the provision
of Ihe old charter, except that the city
treasurer Is uow elected by th vot
ers, I'nder the proposed choline he
will be appointed by the council. All
tha appointees hold their utiles at the
plcnsure of the council.,
The next change of liuportnitc Is
the provision for the appointment of
a bualneis malinger. Ills snlnry Is to
be fixed by th council, but Is not to
exceed :f00 per year. Of course the
council will pay only such salary as
Is necessary to procure th services
of k competent person, and If on can
be had at a smaller salary the coun
cil will not nay I'jr.oo per year, but
smaller snlnry aa shall b agreed up
on. He holds his ofllc during the
pleasure of the (Oiincll. Th busi
ness manager cannot hold an office In
the council, nor any other ofllc un
der this charter. He must give all
his time to the business of the city.
He has charge of keeping the streets
clean and In repair, and does away
entirely with the present oltlce of
street commissioner or superintend
ent It, also, does away with the ap
pointment of an engineer or survey
or and leaves the employment of such
persons to the business mnnagxr.
They ran be hired when needed and
to do specific things, and discharged
when unsatisfactory or when their
work Is completed. (Section 63.) I
The chief of police, will be splint
ed by th mayor as provided In the

dlnna closed the debate for the Taft
forces. He wss warmly cheered as
he ramo forward but a Pennsylvania
delegate caused a laugh by piping
"He's the man that made Indiana
Democratic."
"What I want you delegatea to re
member. In voting on this question,"
he said, 'Is that this convention has
no right to Judge of the merits of
these contests. The National com
mittee sat for ten days. It spent
much Ime hearing the evidence. Then
by better than a two to one vote, It
made up the temporary roll.
"I don't believe In mob law. You
ran say. Throw them out,' but that Is
not Republicanism. 1 am authorised
by my friend. Governor Hadley, to
say tbat he himself Is willing, with
certnln modifications, to send these
contests where they belong to the
committee on credentials."
A wild yell went up from the Roose
velt forces at this announcement
"Let hlrn speak for himself!" shouted
100 voices, and Watson turned- and
brought Hadley forward.
The Missouri governor stood smil
ing while the delegates cheered. It
was the first real, spontaneous enthus
iasm of the convention. More than
half the delegates were on their
chairs. Hats were swluging and hand
kerchiefs were waving while Hadley
and Watson, representing the two
great factions In the party .stood smil
ing sid by side.
For five minutes the demonstration
tlnued and the froces were being
augmented every second. Already
the Taft men from New York were
talking among themselves.
"lAok like they might try to stma-
pede the convention for Hadley,"
whispered he veteran Chauncey M.
Depew to William Iterry, who stood
alongside of him. As this word was
passed, James W. Wardsworth waved
to his delegatea and the members

although some of the others had on
ly moved to the aisles.
New York and Indiana were on their
chairs and there was a wide smile on
the faces of the leaders. They op
enly asserted that they believed that
the stable door wss open and that the
"dark horse" was being saddled. The
remainder of the California, Kansas
and Maryland delegations were chant
ing In unison. "We want Teddy; we
want Teddy." The Hadley shouters
were getting the better of it and the
California delegates started rival
demonstration. William llarnes, Jr.,
leader of the Taft forces, was asked
what be thought of the demonstra
tion. He said:
"I am waiting to see what they are
going to do with these contests. I
am not discussing any compromise
proposilon. I am Just watlng for the
return of these delegates and order
to be restored. I don't believe that
many of these men who are cheering
know what they are cheering about"
"Hadley for president; Hadley for
president!"
It started the cheering all over again
and the convention waa again beyond
control when Sergeant at Arms
Stone led Coleman off the stage. Hem
eway of Indiana, Insisted that the Taft
men were Intact despite the demons
tration. Mrs. W. A. Davis, wife of a Chicago
lumberman, who was seated In the
center of the right band gallery, start
ed the greatest uproar of the demon
stration by unrolling a huge litho
graph of the colonel. As the beauti
ful woman, stunningly gowned, enter
ed Into the spirit of the moment, and
holding the picture at arms length,
threw kisses to the crowd, th dele
gate and spectators alike went wild.
Mr. Davis held the picture In ber
band for a few moments .and when
the bear mounted standard of Cali
fornia was passed np to her In the
galleries she kissed It snd alternately
kissed the Roosevelt picture.
By this tim much of the original
enthusiasm for Hadley had been con
verted Into a demonstration for th
woman, whose enthusiastic spirit hud
been contuglous enough to luoculute
the thousands that packed the Colis
eum. Bo enger were delegates and other
enthusiasts to greet the woman tbat
It waa necessary for the police to form
a guard about ber, and when In an ef
fort to quiet things the police asked
her to withdraw temporarily, the ac
tion was met by a chorus of hisses and
booing.
It was 41 minutes after the demon
stration begun before Hadley was ab
le to make himself heard.
