But they do not care for that. - They are-going ahead with their plans of T organizing the senate to beat tie Pierce program just. as. though the people,of the state by the greatest majority ever "given a Democrat in Ore&on had not ordered'that program put into effect. - vr-v . ' - i The legislature of, North. Dakota, -some years ago, when farmers of. that state begged f or relief just as the farmers, homeowners and realty holders- in Oregon have done, were told to "go back home 'and slop the hogs." The country knows what the result was; There is now in Oregon the same cry for relief from oppressive and discriminating tax injustices. A big,' well organized mass of these people have, by an unheard-of majority, elected a man ,to be at Salem to lead the legislature into the adoption of a plan of relief In a regular election, constitutionally held and carried.. out in an orderly manner, they credentialed him to represent them in the tax - - Men out there'beyond the city limits of Portland broke party alignments of a lifetime to vote and work for the Pierce proposals.. There- were counties, like Wasco, for example, which was never carried by George Chamberlain, that broke all precedents and cast the vote of that county for Pierce. The ejection was an, uprising-of the farm vote. Does the coming legislature-propose" to tell this" vast mass, of voters and citizens to "go back home and slop the hogs"? . 'x , , Representative government means one thing: It means that the majority rule. If 'not,; there is no representative government.. If, obstruction in the coming legislature frus trates a legitimate effortbyhe governor-elect to equalize and otherwise cut taxes in this state as he has pledged him self to do and as he will, do unless the legislature resists, it will be niisrepresentative government of the most vicious type. It will be a breakdown; of representative government The majority f or, the'Pferce program in a regular and orderly, election was 30-odd thousand. ' ? - r The fight for. tax readjustment did not end November 7. Back of it is the biggest mass of, organized voters that ever banded together in. Oregon; It is an organization of men who know what they want and why they want it. They have seen the tax collector, take away the rental value of their land. They have seen' taxes mount and mount in this state until, as tSenator Borah said in ? a vspeech in Chicago, Oregon has a higher per capita tax'tlian any other state in the Union. -They poitea pany tjoitea inewme party candidates, to eletj aman who would represent them in a plan to change this order, ' ' .

It is, how ever: to: be regretted that your. plead ings are having little, effect In reliev ing: the. situation. The city, county and street railway officials seemingly are ef ithe opinion that; traffic conditions cannot be improved until more .bridges are erected. sS It 'Will be years before 'the new structures recently authorised are completed,- and something should be I done in the meantime to make our present river crossings more effective and convenient. One of the first things that should be done is to discontinue the practice of allowing street-cars to at At .an nridf a atnnroachs to . let ' off or ( take on passengers, pafticularlyj during the busy hours. . As an instance, the -approaches to the ' Broadway bridge may be-cited. I there any good reason - for permitting outbound Mis sissippi avenue cars to stop on the ap proach at East Broadway to let off, or take - on . passengers, thereby Holding up all traffic following; when the carsj could just as well - round -.the: corner Into : Larrabee street . and allow the traffic following to pass unobstructed. And is there any reason why outbound Broadway cars cannot tcrbss Larrabee street-before stopping, so as not-to ob struct . northbound -v, andi southbound traffic oa Larrabee street? ; ?It ts a good rule that forbids -autes ' to: stop on the rnridges ' ana .-approaches, i mo the rule should , be extended to include street cars.. . ; .' .v i"- Another point i Is it not. about -time to build that other west: side approach toi the-'-Broadway..-bridge." which will permit traffic .coming from and going to points north of Hoyt -ftreet, to cross the bridge without the loss of time and energy at present necessary? The de lays" and congestion at Gliaan and Hoyt ' streets on Broadway are , very much - doe to this cross-traffic trying to get onto the bridge. The : North Broadway . J-toosters who' . discouraged the : needed Kxtra - approach when the bridge. wal originally boilf would prpb ably not object jto it now, In view, of the fact that whew the proposed new bridges sts built; traffid, -iIl-go-where it finds fewest obstacles, and unless something 1& dona tn 'relieve congestion i irt that section -Ptr-the city iortn Broadway will get a setback.

To the Editor of The Journal I have Just read in the Morning Oregonlan Mark Sullivan's Armistice day article, as copyrighted by the New York Evening Post, nd it strikes me as singular that one so up to date as to "compare the civilization of the. world to a stalled autoould; have to go back, to -m past administra tton to discover a .cause for tbe de-; bade, evidenced by Tuesday's election. " That th: Armistice,: without the estab- -llshment of International law through a League of Nations, was a sad mis take r evidenced by Greece's stubborn , entry into Thrace, : Turkey's destrue-i ; tion of Smyrna and occupation of Con stantinople; : and -the assumption .' with which Bolshevik propaganda Is spread over the world, j This is emphasised by the "eye for an eye dispute between; England- and : France, the notoriety given. - ex-Kaiser Bill's marriage, and the fact that our secretary of state J could, : with impunity, be openly da-: clared vuninforroed!, and o-wnlef by a Turkish minister; or lgnorant and undiplomatic" by the French press. : But - the - armistice was accepted , by : the allies for humanity's sake, and with the , expectation of a law of na tions fo enforce the resultant treaty, ; ; .. In" his study , of "those events In which the course of destiny takes the unhappy turn 1 that torments us all to day," Mr, Sullivan seems- to have forgotten-, that - Mr. 4 Harding was' elected 1 on the promise of a modified League of Nations : It wa only about the 1 time of his inauguration that he dared an nounce a no-league policy. In this he seems to have followed Lodge, and La Follette, and VBoran. ' and Reed, .and Johnson; but the American people will not follow , him.
