THE COXSHTtmOXAL OBJEC
1
T"HERB! are some voters who yet
conscientiously tellers ;c that
electing senators hy popular
rote, as It ia proposed In effect
to do in Oregon through Statement
No. 1 of the primary law, Is uncon
stitutional, thats such vote cannot
have or la deference to the constitu
tion ought not to hays any force or
effect on the: action' of the lettala
ture. ";;' i"; i'..--;x'-r' I' -''
' A sufficient anawer to this scru
pulous . objection on constitutional
. grounds ta ibat after all the legisla
ture elects, ,It goes through the pre
scribed constitutional act of choosing
a senator.,. The senate, the govern
ment, looks no farther? back than
that. t The .legislature hat fully per
formed tte - constitutional function
And It does so none the less effec
tively, regularly and constitutionally
beeausa member had beforehand
promised to. elect the choice of the
people. , In , fact,' substantially the
same thing has been done for years
In .different states. Oregon merely
takes the advance step of asking the
legislature ?. to elect the people'
choice, regardless of his politics, or
of the fact that It may differ from
that of a majority of the legislature.
"But this Is no more unconstitutional
than" electing a ' certain $ party'
- voters choice.
. Those who persist In seeing the
wraith of an outraged constitution in
this plan should consider the method
of electing president and vice-presl
dent Under the constitution these
highest officers of the government
are not ' elected by the people at
large, but by certain electors from
each state. These electors are bound
under the constitution to elect the
president and vice-president, hence it
might be said that -to elect the men
whom the people -instead of them
selves baa caosen would be an abro
gation of their office and unconstitn
tlonal. Under the constitution the
people hare nothing to do with elect
ing the president and vice-president
directly,- bat delegate that duty to
. electors, who hare Cull power to vote
as they please. But as a matter of
fact, and. from long custom, these
electors . uniformly, unquestloningly
and as a matter of course vote for the
men who have received a majority or
plurality vote of the people in their
respective states, ; f : V- '
It 4i exactly this principle that
Oregon , is tiring to establish with
respect to the election of United
States senators. , ' The effort la to
1 oblige the legislature to act on the
... election of senator exactly as presi
dential electors act on the election
of president and vice-president.
These latter go through the form of
.voting, of electing, as the coustitu
tion provides, but the people really
elect; the people's will is obeyed.
- Why should not the legislature of a
. state perform the same function, act
as the people's agent, carry out the
- people's will?
everthat may be, . wHat should be Interests conflict or when the rail-
done by congress . and the state to-1 roads oppress the people. "

HAWAII WANTS HOMESEEKERS
LOCKS MUST PAY REVENUE.
THE decision of the supreme
court of Oregon In the case of
the state vs. the Portland Gen
eral Electric company, present
s proprietor of the Oregon City locksi
j Is a rather unexpected victory for tB
taxpayers of Oregon. The charter to
f the original "lock and dam" com
pany provided that it should pay 10
per cent of its net revenue to the
state as a tax. This provision has
. for many years if not always been ig
nored; no tax has been paid. At the
- instance of Governor chamberlain,
who is always looking out for the
people's 1 Interests and protecting
, their rights, a suit-was brought to
collect this tax or fee. The company
resisted on the grounds, first, that as
there had been no enforcement of
the provisiqa mentioned tor many
. years the state was barred by the
statute- of limitations; and second,
that the defendant company did not
succeed to and was not bound by the
obligation resting upon the original
company. The supreme court holds
against both of - these contentions.
and that the owner of the locks must
pay v the-: 10 per cent. If the back
tax can be collected, the state will
be entitled to a considerable sum in
consequence of this decision. t f
If to recoup itself the General
Electric company should- raise the
rates charged for passage, through
the locks, the result would be an ad
ditional burden on the people who

eastern Oregon this week can
not fail to do much Eood. Tha
local railway officials are to be com
mended for carrying out this useful
scheme, and as many farmers as nos'
slble should attend the lectures and
profit by the visit of the experts,
irarming has become almost an ex
act science, and the average farmer
has much to learn about it yet. On
his own account, if not on the com
munltya. every farmer should study
to make the moBt out of his land
while treating It well. The soil re
sponds to good treatment, and be
comes sullen and barren under bad
treatment. 1
The best things to plant on differ
ent soils, and the varieties of these
seeds or roots, are a source of con
Stant ' study to the Drorresnire
farmer. Then the care and market
ing of the crops are also of continual
importance. Formerly many farm
ers thought or cared but little about
these things; they plodded along tn
haphazard, happy-go-lucky way.
and were moderately eontent to
eke . out a shabby existence, But
times have changed. The farmer is
now a student, a scientist, a keen ob
Berver r of many things, a profound
practical philosopher. - At- least he
muBt be so If he is to succeed and
compete with his wideawake and
progressive neighbors.
This .train is a perambulating ag
ricultural college in miniature. It
carries people and literature that can
give the farmers valuable instruc
tion and help them to be more suc
cessful. This Is a modern and very
recent scheme, Originating a few
years ago, we believe, in the brain
of a professor in the Iowa agricul
tural college, who went about the
state teaching the farmers how they
could increase the yield and better
the quality of their corn crop. The
railroads at once saw that this was
gospel that was beneficial to them,
and furnished the professor with a
train, and the next year trains went
through not only Iowa but other
states, teaching the doctrine of more
and better corn, and It was a true
doctrine, to the extent of millions of
dollars already. r
80 ia this country the people
should listen gladly to the. doctrine
of more and better grain, grass,, fruit, ;
stock and products generally. Bet
ter farming means millions more
profits for Oregon producers, better
living, more comfort and happiness. '

"Statement No. 1 Is dead, say
some machine politicians. It will be,
they mean, If all the nominees of the
primaries are elected to the legisla
ture, so that there will not be a ma
jority of Statement No. 1 members In
that body.. But we think that voters
in Washington, TamhUl, ; Wasco,
Sherman and other counties will see
to It that Statement No. 1 is kept
very much alive until the people
niake sure that they have gained
their object election of senators by
popular vote.
A speaker at the Socialist na

D. Rockefeller was a Socialist. : But
will he finance the Socialist cam

the party much encouragement, and
would only be showing faith by
works. Of why not nominate him
for president. He should be able to
convert a good many voters to his
way of thinking.

T IS not at all surprising that Mr.
Harriman is doing what he can in
Oregon to defeat Governor Cham
