Ths students of the high schoot, under the directions of the principal and teachers, take grant pride tn the cultivation or de velopment of the body along with ths advsncement of mental qualifications.

Montana, Washington, Idaho, Utah and California, Insurance Com missioner Koxer left for Spokane yes terday. Beside the Insurance Commissioners of the respective states there will be present at the conference representa tives of the leading fraternal societies of the t'nlted States. In practically all of the states named no laws regulating the business of such societies have been enacted and aa such a measure is some what of a departure from the policy assumed by legislation in other states, a uniform policy Is desired for the guidance of departments and for the benefit of fraternal societies which come under their supervision. New Laws In Oregon Discussed. Before leaving, Mr. Koxer made the I following statement and commented briefly upon the new Insurance laws which become effective In Oregon to day: "There are between 30 and 40 fra ternal societies now operating In Ore gon with a membership aggregating 73.000, and Insurance In force of more than f 100.000.000, upon which the an nual contributions amount to more than 21.000.000. Ho reports have been re ceived from these societies covering their business in the stats during the year 1910. but statistics complied by this office show that during the year 190 the membership of these societies In Oregon was over 60.000, while the insurance In force was about IsS.OoO. ooo. Hereafter it will be definitely Known wnat societies ars doing bus! ness in tne state and ths annual ports of their condition will bs avail able for the use of the Dublic "The Insurance Commissioner Is au tnorixed to examine Into the affairs domestic societies of the state, and It win be the purpose to Institute an examination of Jhe Oregon fraternals aa soon ss the business of the office can be conveniently arranged therefor, In order to determine whether ths provisions of the law are being- com plied with. The examinations will not oe connned to fraternals, but will ex tend to all other Insurance corporations which are organised under the laws of urexon and hold a license to transact Dullness therein. Anti-Compact Law Extended. a numoer or laws relating to Insur ance business generally will become ef fective tomorrow, among which Is House bill !. which extends the anti compact law of 10. relating to fire insurance ana surety companies to In elude casualty, marine and plate glass companies, while It prohibits comb! nations or these companies for ths control or rates. It nevertheless pro vides that ths general agents thereof may maintain bureaus for the purpose of ascertaining fair and equitable rates on ins insurable property In Oregon. "One of the most Important measures is nouso bill 144. providing for ths reg ulation and control of fraternal benefit societies. A similar measure was en acted in the states of Alabama. Mis souri. Colorado, Montana. Californl Utah. Idaho and Washington. This law places fraternal societies under the su pervlsion of the Insurance departments oi tne respective states and provides for adequate rates In order to Insure their solvency and permanency and the fulfillment of their contracts. This law Is known as ths uniform bill to regulate fraternal benefit societies and was drafted by representatives of the fraternal societies of the country with the assistance of a committee from the .National convention of Insurance com missioners. Oregon can claim the unique distinction of being the first stats to enact this measure Into law. Two Per Cent Tax LeTied. I had the great pleasure today of vis iting the home of J. N. Williamson.

The County Court, at Its next meet Ins will probably discuss ths subject. SEATTLE. 'Wash.. Mar 20. Advocat ing; the commission plan of govern ment In bis publlo address at the Dreamland Auditorium tonight. Dr. Woodrow Wilson pointed out two things: That the once-popular Idea that people gain power by making evorr office elective Is wrong, and that It is a deceptive conception of city government that it is a state govern ment In miniature. "For. one thinm." he said, "the most conspicuous feature of the new form of city government negatives the greater part of our practice hitherto In trying to establish popular control, Until we began this new movement of reconstruction In city government It was the commonly accepted doctrine In America that the way to make the people supreme was to make every office elective, was to have as few appointive officers as possible and to put every choice for office, whether the office Vere great or small, in the hands of the people. We now see that that was exactly the way In which not to make popular control effective. Long Ballots Defeat Purpose. "I suppose that there Is not a single voter who has ever voted a ticket with more than 10 or 15 names on it who will not admit that he knew absolutely nothing about most of the persons he was voting for and cared very little about them. Moreover, It has become obvious to anybody who knows any thing of the practical operation of politics that the poltticans who make up tha long tickets with scores of names upon them feel that they have perfect control of all the nominations except those for a few conspicuous offices. "This means, of course, that they put up for genuine election one or two men and virtually appoint the rest to office. Very few except those of the inner circle" of the political machine can tell you anything about the -nominees on a long ticket or what their nomination signifies and Is meant to accomplish. It Is evident upon the face of It that this Is not a process of selection or election either on the part of the people. It is a process of ap pointment at the hands of the political manager. It has become an axiom among those who understand practical politics that If you give the people something to do which they cannot do you virtually take it away from them. It Is as Impossible for the people to select a miscellany of officers to serve them In posts big and little as It would be for the head of a great business to select the whole body of his employes down to the boy who sweeps out the office. The only way In which he can make his business effective Is to put these matters tn the hands of responsl ble superintendents whom he must hold answerable for anything that goes wrong and for the inefficiency of their subordinates. control of the moneys of the city and determine how much the various de partments of the city should be per mitted to spend. -We have had water boards and gas boards and boards of public works and boards of every kind, each with its Independent set of powers, each with its independent derivation from ths votes of the people, and have seemed almost of set purpose to multi ply the clogs and Jealousies and pull Ings hither and thither of a 'system which ought. In order to work effective ly, to have worked In harmony as a unit and not as a system of rivalries and suspicious checks." Expert Service Is Result. Dr. Wilson declared that it was not by accident that the best governed cities had the short ballot, concentrated authority ' and by consequence expert service. He said the Indispensable conditions of success of city govern ment were first, publicity: and, sec ond, alert public opinion guided in some definite way by those who really under stand the business in hand. From the Dreamland meeting the Governor and his party went to the Press Club, where they spent an hour with the newspaper men. He was ths guest at luncheon of the university men of the city and at dinner of the Demo cratic State Central Committee.

He said that the order of United Artisans founded in Portland 17 years ago now numbers more than 12,000 members in Oregon. Governor West said he believed In the Order of United Artisans because it is a home order. He said that under the law he was the grand master of the most novel lodge on earth, a lodge of 600 members the convicts In the state prison at Salem. He said be' wished to put the institution on a paying basis, and that he courted In vestigation of the conditions at ths state prison. In the afternoon all kinds of athletU amusements were held.

"The second thing manifest in ths new form of government Is that It abandons the Idea with which we so long deceived ourselves, that a city government is prsctlcally a state gov. ernment In small, which must have Its carefully separated executive and legis lative branches. Of course there Is an analogy, between the-power of a City Council to pass ordinances and ths power of a Stats Legislature to pass statutes, but ths ordinance-making power Is rather regulative, not legisla tive, and the city is a great admtnls. trative organization, not a miniature copy of the government of a state.
