t browing and ail that could be brought
against him. bo proved tae victor, it
might be well for us to inqsire what
brought this all about, 'la the first
place, who was. responsible - for dis
charging an employe nt o of tlu
state Institution who u making
good, and at a salary of S2lde a year,
and asking, cor so advancer It was
learned that there was not timber fit la
f m the position In all Oregon. Hence
we had to to a neighbor tag state to
find a man capable of tilling tae posi
tion, and at an advance in salary to
the tone of 5000 a year. Will some
om explain who pays this excess sal
ary? Then, again, who oaa , -explain
why toe executive prerogative was
not used on that salary grab bill tor
$2600, and aU down alone; the lips,
when ,Mr. Taxpayer was already
groaning under the heavy burden of
taxation.. T"ben again, to cap the c&l
masv'wno was responsible Cor slling
an extra session of the legiBlattzre?
Wu it voder the pceteat of savins our
highways and byways, when. s a
matter of fact, it was common knowl
edge that the highways were ibeing
damaged by the Aeavy truck: traffic,
long since? This - could have been
brought to the attention of the legis
lature when in Tegular session. Those
are a few of the items that go to swell
our tax budget that is feeaped upon
the taxpayer. Who txas all the bills
to foot? We are told that -an execu
tive has very little -tax levying power.
Tills may be true, bat we are unable
to see much difference between levying
taxes or handing out the cash from the
nubile sack. We .have learned from
observation and 4a conversation with!
many staunch and lifelong Republicans
that they would not support the pres
ent administration. It areas surprise,
to me that Pierce received . each a
heavy vote notwithstanding the mad
slinging by the machine. Political
straws am good indicators of which
way the wind blows.- We .learn from
press reports that this is the zsost ex
travagant adminiatrs tion in all the
history of Oregon. Too much emphasis
cannot be plaoed upon these atoms,
and if there is no relief those re
sponsible had 'better take warning, or
there will be a .general demand for
more political scalps. G. W. Kant

How? By legislation and cooperative

pushes it ; let us hope H does, and -that
the rest of our cities and towns push,
too.
A number of years ago one could
take a bushel of wheat (60 pounds) to

pounds), and tret some bran nd -ehoris

The .Journal What . Save Haxding,
Ijodge, Borah and Johnson meant by
telling us continuously heretofore that
-entanglements with Europe - must be
avoided ; that no agreements -or guar
antees could .be made anywhere" that
might involve the United States in
war; that Europe cannot expect the
United States to participate ia jmy
Buropean conferences or negotiations
looking to the pacification of Europe
until the nations of Europe faavs shown
themselves capable of acting Juetbj
toward each other t Klnoe .when have
the sations of - Europe proved them
selves worthy of the participation sjf
this -government in -the settlement of
European disputes? Why bas tt so
suddenly dawned n the government at
Wasnington that the Dardanelles, way:
over to the oast of Europe, must "bo
made free both in war and in peace?:
President Monroe, back 4a 1822, In a
aMsaage to congress, said that any
attempt by any foreign nation a get a;
foothold in America would be regarded
by the Ouited States as an junfriendly'
act. iTnis became the Monroe doctrine,
for the enforcement of which the
United States has been at all times
ready with its naval and land forces. 1
Through .President .Harding Air. Guild
was authorised to Bay to the allies.!
Turks ami all concerned . that "the
straits of the Dardanalles tmnst be 1cept
free." How similar to that saying of
Alonroe. in language and apparent th
tentl Zo we hear any objections from
Borah? None. From fdr. Johnson?
Not a 'word. Xigbt not xbis declara

use of the naval and land forces to

might. "Why this change -of attitude

CITT-COXTNTY MERGER

The aournal-Tbe Journal -of Monday
contained .uuite a leagtby -editorial oa
"City -County Merger," And in ome
of the reasons given why there should
be merger It was intimated that if
there was a merger, .country property
would aid ia lessening snrar burdens,
etc., etc Let me ask a few questions
for information : If there are many
persons anxious for merger, wrhy do
they -not prepare a bill at once and
place the same in the hands of the
state representatives sd they will have,
the measure for study purposes. The
members of the legislature are entitled
to have a question of such great mo
ment before them at an early: period.,
It Stakes time to digest such questions.
The people of Gresham are entitled to
know . the contents of the proposed
ateasdre ; the people of the entire coun
try district that -would be -affected
are entitled to know the contents of
the measure; the people of Portland
are entitled to know the contents of
the measure. -Then why wait for its.
preparation until the last half of the
legislative session and at a time when
the members are rushed with work, to
spring the bill on them. In . one
measure of this kind I now iiave in
mind, when introduced at Salem, a part
of Multnomah county was left out and ,

- -
ernment which Mr. Brower assails so
vigorously. 1 hardly feel qualified for
the -task, tut would dike to submit
a few statements relative to some of
his .assertions omd conclusions.
- It does seem te me that' Mr. Brower
is confused with regard to the real
meaning of political government. - X
Cannot see -that Just because a gov
ernment is -political It is -unjust and
oppressive to the laboring people. As
I look at It, politics in government
simply indicates the policy of the par
ty, or of the administration in .control
of the government. Thus, the policies
of the Satding art ministration differ
very radically from those of the W11-.
son administration in many important
particulars. That, however, does not
mean that either of them has -been
oppressive to the Common people. It
is only as they abuse the -powers -which
have been intrusted to them that they
become oppressive. To my mind, -a
government has to be political ; other
wise it is either religious or-despotic.
In our country political" government
indicates the trend of public opinion.
In other words, it ia government -by
the consent of the .governed. I would
ask Mr. Brower to try to ten ds how
the common people, by taking control
of the onrarBBwnt, could sex up a gov
ernment that would be neither political
nor harmful to the working jieople. He
surely would not set up a theocracy.
Yet -even .the theocracy! might have
policies of its own, hence be a political
government after all. Or would he ad
vocate -a socialistic .government? But
how could even a socialistic govern
ment help being political?
As I look at It, It is the abuse of
political power that Is oppressive to
the poor and favorable to .special
privilege aa against tne common .peo
ple, and not the- political power itself.
The real object of true covemment is
to protect all in -the. enjoyment of life,
liberty -and the pursuit of happiness,
as per the immortal Declaration of Jn
dependence, and our glorious consti
tution is .for the purpose, of preventing
the violation of said rights by any
person or persons to whom we may
intrust political powers. Ixmg -may
the true principles of our glorious po
litical government hold away -over -the
lend of the free and the 'home of the
brave! J. Ftanklia-Toleen.

The report from Sydney Australia,

That "means they nave a governmental

Those correspond to. our counties and
