Improvements, there Is no doudt that,
since such Improvements are bene
ficial to tho whole community, the
assessment which is often suddenly
and almost unexpectedly levied,
should be carried by the public for a
reasonable time. But hero the pub
lic is weak and the Individual, so far
as tho public benefit Is concered, is
relatively weaker. MarshflelJ should
take steps to organize under tho gen
eral laws and by so doing improve
her capacity for self help.
THE RACE QUESTION'.
The race question in America is al
ways active and will never down. In
tho South it is the Negro. In the
East and North It is the "scum" of
Europe. In tho West It Is the Asiatic.
In the South no real progress seems
to be made toward a solution of the
problem, but It 13 encouraging, at

STRAIGHT JACKET LAWS.
One of the most apparent reasons
for tho acknowledged backwardness
of tho state of Oregon along progres
sive lines heretofore, is the deficiency
Intho legal and legislative system
The man who has studied the laws cf
other states In the' light of modern
development Is amazed when he takes
up the study of Oregon's system and
makes comparisons. He finds that
the Oregon system, both general and
local, Is in nearly every respect a
straight jacket, and that growth un
der ordinary conditions would be im
possible. Tho present conditions are
not ordinary and the growth which
this state is now enjoying, Is in spite
of its laws.
The city of Marshfield is a re
markable example, In miniature of
the same defects. It Is astonishing
that tho city has been able to make
any progress at all, bound and
hampered, as It Is, by charter and
legislative restrictions. It Is no
wonder that the streets are in bad
shape. No wonder public Improve
ments are lacking. No wonder pub
lic spirit Is suppressed when its most
reasonable demands are met by such
ancient obstacles that ono has to
think a long time before he can figure
out just what they are. For instance.
The charter provides that tho city
can not Incur a greater indebtedness
than $25,000. There it stands, an
obstacle to overy move in the direc
tion of progress. It Is quite custom
ary, In other states, to limit the pow
er of the city government to Incur in
debtedness beyond a certain percent
age, usually five per cent of its as
sessed valuation. But hero It is fixed
at $25,000. No matter how great
the Increase Is in valuation or popu
lation the limit is $25,000.
No wonder that the city can do so
little! No wonder tho people are In
clined to object to proper grades,
sewers, water systems and public
Sulldfngs! While the abutting own-
5 cents
50 cents
$1 25
$2 50 least to note that Mississippi can keep
$5 00 cool long enough to elect to-the sen
$1 00 ! ate such a man as Williams rather
than the fire eating .Vardaman. in
the East and North the "scum" sends
its children to school and one genera
tion disposes of the race question
there as far as the present phase is
concerned. The second generation is
all American and as Intelligent and
patriotic as any. But the question
affecting the Pacific coast Is differ
ent. In the South the problem is
aggravated by fecundity. In the
West It Is plain enough that If given
the liberty to do so, the Chinese and
Japanese, to say nothing about
Hindus, will swarm over and run
over the whole country v The trouble
might not be serious if the swarm
ing were less swift and the immi
grants could be assimilated before
they could impress their own charac
ter and institutions on the country
and rife our American institutions.
It seems plain enough that the way
to prevent the Asiatic problem from
becoming serious and complex Is to
continue to restrict immigration from
the Orient. Rather than have Amer
ican students submerged, and the
American character superceded,
many very wise men would think war
preferable.
