I'rlnevllle Is a home town, a town of

nothing do the people take more pride
than In their schools, snd no schools

class do the graduates stand higher. 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. A
strong body, a healthy body means, to
them, a fit abiding place for alert and

people, as a a hole, as well educated, as

not wish their sons and daughters to

The htich school building Is a model
of architectural beauty, and Is. 1 am
told, as well equipped as any of the
modern buildings In the state. But while
It Is practically new It is already too

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

win be the purpose to Institute an

can be conveniently arranged therefor,
In order to determine whether ths
provisions of the law are being- com
plied with. The examinations will not

which are organised under the laws of

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.

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
