LET OREGOX PEOPLE WATCH IF TUB MAYOR of Portland - re toes the docks ordinance, the cit izens of Oregon will have visible example of what assembly gov ernment means. If any hare, doubts as to the lnadvlsablllty of the asgemi bly .systemT the veto," If it comes, should' Instantly settle the question. Here is an ordinance that by a Vote of more than two to one and In an election regularly and legally, held, the citizens of Portland ordered passed. The city council, bowing, to the higher power vested in the. asso ciated citizens, has passed the ordi nance, and It Is before the mayor for approval. , No mayor nominated 1 dl rectly by the citizen body and feel ing thereby that it is to the citizen body that he is accountable, would for one moment think of vetoing this ordinance. , To such a mayor the idea of presuming to deny the citizen body that which It is their known right . to have would be so repugnant that this veto would not be entertained for one minute, But Mayor Simon1 is the product of assembly government. - He was not selected in ah open, .unmanaged primary."? A convention' was held, and 1 corporation!, lawyers old-time politicians,,, representatives of Inter- . ests, .professional .office-seekers .and managing tnen were the active fac tors, and it was they-who -chose Mr. Simon. - It Is to them that he feels he owes his only obligation' for, ele vation to the mayoralty and to them alone that he acknowledges responsi bility for, his official acts. This Is why we are threatened with the spec tacle of this mayor: Insisting that he is not bound by action the citizen masses may take, even though .their act is authorized by the' constitution, is provided for by law and sanctioned by their own understanding 'of citi zens' .rights as guaranteed under the government, of Oregon. ..,'., . Assembly i government Is s on trial in Portland, and the docks ordinance is the test. .' If the mayor, as he says be will, vetoes that ordinance every citizen of the state w;Ill be given full warning of what assembly govern- ; ment will mean. Let every man in O regon k eep his eye on Assembly Mayor Simon and the : docks ordi nance. , ' "" -i-.-.i'.'i. EARLY every town In" Oregon, large or small, now baB a spring, cleanlng-up day,, or in some cases two days. ; As a reg ular formal annual affair, this Is rather a recent Innovation. Only a few towns had such ' a', day a few years ago; now no town is too small, nor, as will be seen In Portland to morrow, 'too large, t.o have one. Every town needs the work of such a day, and ! the -'larger the town the greater the heed. 4 Portland is the largest town in the state, : and not only; needs, cleaning up more than others, but It should set a good ex ample to its smaller, sister cities.. Everybody, owning ; or - occupying premises of any kind can help and ought to help. Each one owes this much" effort In behalf of cleanliness, comfort, beauty and health, not only to himself, but to his neighbors, and to the whole 1 community."'

It would be repugnant to the public sense of confidence in Jus tice to hold that partisanship should enter this sanctuary for Influence of bench, bar or those who go there for redress. That wonld be a claim to Instantly convince all that decis ions were subject to bias, and Jus tice to be dealt out with a string to THE RAILROAD BILL 0 NE OF. the- administration's measures called for' conven ience the railroad bill, has passed the house, somewhat amended,' and something of like character will probably pass the sen ate. .There seems now a fair prob ability (.hat the two houses will final ly agree on a bill containing some of the features of that recommended by the president and urged by the attorney general. Whether, it will be a good law for the country it Is impossible at this stage of the pro ceedings to say. It is a very import ant measure ana ono presenting dif ficulties, In. several of Its features, and It Is not strange nor a matter for adverse criticism that congressmen cannot agree upon any part of It easily. It is a subject upon which able men may honestly differ widely. Yet It is always to be reasonably sus pected - that a railroad bill that Ais supported by Aldrlch and his follow ers, and the leading , "regulars" of the house, Is not one that is good for the people. .These men are not In congress t& serve or represent the people., ' - ' ' . - One greatly debated section la that creating a' commerce court, . the Judges to be appointed by the su preme court judges. To this" com merce icourt appeals from the Inter state commerce commission can be taken.' This section went through the house with the aid of 14 Demo crats.' -It Is reasonably viewed with a good deal of mlstruBt.. It Is feared that It will mean interminable delays of cases against the; railroads and perhaps decisions by Judges of pro- corporation bias, and .'.will also weak en the power of the commission. The railroads seem to he greatly pleased With this feature of the bill, r Two : otheriecUonaoL-the.JWlckershani bill,, however, those allowing a rail road to acquire stock In another and allowing freight rate agreements be tween competing railroads, have not so far prevailed, and the bill may be bettered by their final elimination. : The amendment providing that the rata shall never - be' greater,' for . a shorter than for a longer haul over the same line carried -In the liouse, but is not likely to succeed In the senate.

" PROSTITUTED COURTS HE CIRCUIT COURT of Multno mah county must, have, become conscious by this time that it is being abused and misused in the Broadway bridge suit. It'ls near ly six months since the case, was brought," Period sufficient to have carried the issues through the su preme courfci ln the water main suit, both, parties desired a decision, and the case was carried to a final de termination In the supreme court In a little, more than 60 days. A" de cision, with three jud'ges In perfect accord, was entered in the bridge case on February' 16. Klernan was beaten, but a new 'quibble was brought forward, and we have the spectacle of nearly three months of time. wasted on this dilatory move. When It is overruled by the court, it Is the plan doubtless to interpose another technicality and secure, an other three months' postponement, and to continue jthe process indefi nitely. In short, it is common and notorious knowledge that the court Is being used as a convenient vehicle not to reach a final decision, but to prevent' ft, not to settle a question of legality, but to fbrbld it.; 1 f In the meanime, the passing cars have to halt and wait at the bridges, ! the moving thousands have to stand I etlll tilt the draws close, the precious hours of 4he working multitude are Irrevocably lost, and Portland Is de nied the free growth and expansion towWchahflLia.entltledU la. there anybody who will contend for one moment that a court of Justice was ever established for such a purpose? you take a oomet that causes hens to lay ostrich eggs and brings on census enumerators and high prices and sear city of labor, why, it can attend to busi ness in a - cometational nanner. iioi only that, but it has-caused floods and railroad wrecks and storrps and finan cial failures and frosts, and It woke up Mt.
