- Mr, Taft struck - a blow at the
farmers of the United States when he
vetoed the farmers' free list bill.
That bill removed the9 duty on agri

delivered the farmers from George
Perkins harvester trust, The veto
was an unpardonjtble ijlunder.
v Mr, Taft vetoed the bills for un
taxing food 1 and clothing. Those
J)llls were in tbo interest of every
consumer In the country. Mr. Taft'p

Impardonable blunder. ' "

though it was an excellent measure,
it was widely misunderstood, and be

TWO .CHARTERS.
Tl
HE opponents of commission
government in Portland have
made splendid headway through
tbe order of Judge Morrow for
two charters to be submitted.
It Is an easy way to beat commia
slon government; -It Is a aplendld
scheme tfor perpetuation of menag
erie government.
There Is no purpose here to
charge those behind the seoond char
ter with wrong Intent. The point in
mind Is, that the effect will be en
couraging to the peanut politicians,
the hangers-on, and -all the others
who insist on the perpetuation .in
Portland of ft system whose lneffi
ciency has been demonstrated and
ita manifold weaknesses many times
confirmed
The submission of the added char
ter means a division of commission
government, forces. It means dis
couragement and disgust for those
who have been ' striving to bring
about a correction of present munic
ipal .impotency and Incapacity.
' It threatens to continue a pro
gram In which city officials can hide
behind each other and escape re
sponsibility for their acts. It prob
ably roeang that a crooked, official
can go on in his crookedness and
escape detection and penalty because
of the divided responsibility in the
present system which makes it- si
mps t. impossible" for the pyblio. to
separate the sheep from' the gpats.
For seventeen months various
citizens have been working patiently
and laboriously on a charter , by
which it was hoped Portland could
be delivered from a mixed and mul
titudinous' officialdom,.. System! in
other commission cities were studied,
and the best from all of them incor
porated In ihe. Portland plan.
Not one committee, but several
participated in the work, and there
is reason to believe that it presents
a"3cepW-pJan;71yir:igniteC3B
Portland and Portland conditions. It
deserved to go to the voters on its
merits. It ought to have had a. fair
trial for adoption or rejection, and
been allowed to stand or fall on its
virtues or Us faults.
Put the JMorrow decision, if it
Stands, Injects another charter Into
the election, to confuse, to confound
and to demoralise. The city attor
ney holds the decision not; to be
good law. Whether good law or not,
the insistence that the second char
ter shall go into the election Is a
foolish proceeding".
Apparently Portland will have a
hard time in getting rid cf her offi
cial parasites.
THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE
r
N his public statement, Senator
Bourne renews the charge that he
was defeated In 1 the primaries
through alleged violation of the
corrupt practices act by Mr. Selling.
Mr. Selling's friends reply with
the charge that Senator Bourne re
pudiates the primary verdict, and
that, after pledging his support to
Mr. Selling.
There are other charges and coun
ter charges on both sides. They
make ex-Mayor Lane the logical can
didate for senator. Against him,
there is no charge of any kind.
He has not repudiated the primary
law. He has not violated the cor
rupt practices act. They are facts to
which his supporters can point with
pride.
They can point to more. As
mayor of Portland Mr. Lane made
aa, honorable , record. ..yia.4wo, ad,
ministrations left in no mind the
slightest question of Mr. Lane's in
tegrity. On the eontrary, those who
opposed him are free to admit that
all his public acts were guided by
honosty and a zealous devotion to
the interests of plain citizens and
public progress.
There Is need at Washington
more men of the Lane typl.

does Mr, Strong contend this would
