THE PRESENT LEGISLATURE
The numbers of the Oregon Legislature in session at the
Capitol are, "generally gpeaking, fair minded, intelligent,
earnest and able t , . , .
As fine a body as ever assembled under the bigome to
make laws and give directions for the conduct of the business
of the state government.
Tkey need no advice a3 to their duties
Though advice from any source will not be resented by
the earnest representatives of the people working in the state
house with an honest desire to serve their commonwealth and
their country in the best possible ways.
Here is one suggestion: .
Congress ought to be memorialized early, in the session
in favor of protective tariff legislation for the products of
Oregon I
For our wool, our fruits, especially our cherries, our flax
and hemp, our poultry products, our hides and skins, etc etc.
The Wavs and Means Committee of the House, which has
the making of the proposed new tariff law in hand, is now
holding daily hearings; this committee began that work last
Thursday.
Perhaps there should also be a memorial concerning the
f mpiwnw tariff Wislation though this "will likely be a
fruitless effort i due to the free trade President fortunately
on the last leg of his administration.
- The work of the enrolling and engrossing committees of
the Legislature will be dove-tailed in together at the present
session, through an arrangement made by Hon. Frank Davey
and others.: and several hundred dollars, if not some thou
sands, saved to the taxpayers. There is no doubt that econ
omies in other directions might be made in the machinery of
legislation,' brr-effeiency-expert.---In everydirectioaiiie
interests of the overburdened taxpayers ought to be looked
after, and no doubt will be, at the present session. The high
cost of living and the high cost of everything else must be
trimmed to the point just above where efficiency and quality
might be endangered. The state government must be earned
on, and all the useful branches of its various activities main-
1 tamed. . But economy ought to be the watchword.

The Pilgrim- tercentenary is
over and the question is not yet
settled whether Isaac AlSerton and
company landed at Plymouth

this proposition. Personal!

KEEPING THE PEACE.
Twenty- two nationr have al
uady signed the " preamble or
agreement for the permanent
court of International justice as
framed by Elihu Root and others
for the League of Nations. When
this is ratified by the parliaments
of a majority of the countries
form in i; the League the status of
the world court becomes effec
tive. This looks like a fair start
toward iternational j.istice. The

tocol which has a'ready been
signed by four nations. The

will, for a measurable period at all events, leave them each
