This is the only; consolidation bill that is alive now. . Oregon ha3 been talking about consolidation for years ' ' Consolidation was an issue in the last campaign; the people'expect consolidation; they have a right to expect it And, the Legislature has no right to refuse to pass a con solidation bill. ! 1 i The Carkin bill is well worked out. It divides the state administration into five departments, with! five Secretaries. It gives a cabinet form ot state government. Washington has such a form; but with ten departments and ten. secre taries,: instead of five 1 M 1 , ., And the Governor of Washington claimi the new system . greatly reduces state expeh3es and state taxes. lt is up to the House to put it up to the Senate! Then the responsibility will rest.with the thirty members of that PASS THE OLEOMARGARINE BILL There is a bill in the Legislature known as the oleomar gerine bill that is, a measure for. the protection of the dairy industry of Oregon. , . It i3 Senate Bill 118. It passed the Senate 22 to 7, and is now in the hands of the judiciary committee of ;the Hotide, sent there for the purpose of killing it. It jnust come out of committee and be passed by the House. The votes are there to pass it.v . , r---".'.r-i:;. :"..; ' ,.. The dairymen of the state are a unit in demanding the bill. . The children of Oregon, the people of Oregon who do not know the difference between cow's butterf at and vege- - table oil are oii one side. A few dealers, one manufacturer, the Portland Chamber, of Commerce, and the Associated In dustries of Oregon are on the other side. Fof whom is the Oregon Legislature going to cast its vote ' - v ' i Which is the more important, the dairy industry, of the state, and the men, wqmen and children, who get their energy that produces growth, brain power and resistance to disease from the vitamines found only in. any quantity in butter fat, or the South Sea Islanders and South American Negroes who produce cocoanut oil? . ; ! ! ' The butter substitutes sold in Oregon last year replaced 10,000 cows. That is equal to the entire ? dairy product of Marion county, or, Linn county; greater than Clackamas county. Yet they say the industry is only in its infancy. . Oregon is now a butter exporting state; has been for i several years. Last year we sought an outside market for nearly half a million pounds of butter. i If this infant industry, is allowed to grow; the dairymen of Oregon will be put out of business. There is no halfway about it. Let there be a small over production, and the en 1 eciroon l STUDf BPOSTS- CoTjriht, . 1023, Associated Edit For.

It was considered a great' treat for an vordinary boy llko Oliver to meet the prince. 1 The two boys went off in a side room to . play. Something ''the Prince said ; to Oliver made 'him angry,, and he forgot that king. His fist shot out and the - fight began.

He started to shiver5 and shake; "Just wait," whispered Dick, tire market goes to smash, just as the potato market did this year. . ; . , Filled milk and margerine consist of-milk from' which the fat has been removed and vegetable oil added. It becomes a substitute, sold and eaten in imitation of butter. . This bill forbids the manufacture or "sale of dairy substitutes from which the fat has been taken -and vegetable oil substituted. It has nothing to do with oleomargerine, but does forbid the use of the dairyman's product (skimmed milk) in the manu facture of a product which will put him out of business. He is certainly entitled to that protection. There are 75 pages of tederal regulations trying to con trol margerine so that it can be manufactured and sold on its own merits, but even that does not effect control. Oregon forbids the coloring of oleo to imitate butter. Yet they use skim milk to give it the milk flavor, and place a pill of color ing in each package with directions for mixing, so that it is still served,, on the table camouflaged as butter. The farmers demand this legislation.1 They are aroused. The vote ia going to be watched, and an accounting will surely be demanded of those who so far forget their trust as 'to Support the interests against the well being and happiness of the dairymen of the state, and of the menwojnen and children of the state. ; THE INCOME TAX BILL The income tax bill should be put through. It will no: doubt be referred to a vote of the people. And there should be a provision, in case it is referred, for a call by the Governor of a special election in November; not in June. FOREIGN INSURANCE BILL The foreign insurance fee bill, introduced by Mott, and through the house, and in a committee of the Senate, ought by all means to be passed. It will add to the state's revenues many scores of thousands of dollars ; and, mostly, justly. . ' THE ASTORIA BILL 1 There is an idea of .making the proposed loan , for the re lief of Astoria from the highway funds. Do not attempt this. 1 If there is to be a loan to Astoria, loan the money on bonds from the state accident fund; and let the state stand behind the bonds and guarantee their payment, in order to make certain those funds, which are trust funds. That will hold water. No one will be harmed. There will be no question concerning constitutionality, or about pre cedent.' I - i 1 .. Minutes count now, in the legis lature, : . ( . ' : The verdict will be that the mistakes of the legislature were not all of commission; some will be of omission. It would be fine if things would quickly so clear up that the legis lature 'could redeem all the rest of its campaign pledges. i COMING EVENTS f i Feb. 28.

"I'm sorry, we can't spend the; very first day together," Uncle Bill said, the morning after DTcki arrived, "but my business keeps me In town today. I'll take you up the trail : and you and Jack Hobbs can scout around to- gcther." j j. Dick and - Jack took -to each pther like old frtends. With ! a can of water and a bag of pro visions they started off up the mountain to spend the day at what Jack called the "Haunted Shack" i They reached the place about noon Just as Jack was coming around the corner of the : shack he stopped short "It's a snake." he whispered "Look!" He shiT ered. and no- wonder . Coiled up nearby on the ground Dick saw the largest snake he had over seen in his life. , ; s i "Gee!" hei gasped. "Isn't he a whopper I never saw one b big." Jack looked puzzled. t "1 never saw one like him before, either,' and I've lived here all my life. , 111 wager he's a bad one, though. We'd better kill ! him.' "Walt!" Dick grabbed Jack's sleeve. , "You say you've ) never seen one , like him before? It lcoks to me like one Uncle Bill was telling me about last night. He V caWed it the 'pre cious snake because it . is so rare. : Say,' can't we catch him alive?" Jack looked doubtful, but. Dick pointed to the: large box.' "Couldn't we get that over him?" Vt v :i In a second the boys gTabbed the box and made . a dash for the snake. ,They Caught him Just in the niek at time. r- He bad .; uncoiled and , made a : his sing strike towards Dick when they , popped ,he box over his head. Dick sat down and wiped his forehead. Then together they drove pegs Into the ground Needed, right now, a super steering committee in the legisla ture and a steam roller weigh ing about a million pounds. There is an end to all things. The Oregon legislature is not done, and it ; will not get done. But, however generous and grac ious its hard working members, they cannot be expected to go on much longer -working - for noth ing and paying their own board. . , Three more weeks of the pres ent session of congress, and there is much to be done. Why is it that the important matters are left until the hurry and. confus ion of the end of the, session? Lps Angeles Times, Feb. 14.

HIS OKEAT REFUSAL (Los Angeles Times.) The last Sunday of Ismet Pa! sha in Lausanne must have been one of almost unalloyed pleasure, lie had announced his great re fusal. On no occasion would An gora sign the treaty presented to her. As a consequence Giaour statesmen were making last ap peals. Giaour motor , cars were panting up the hill from Ouchy to Lausanne and down again; the most notable, the Marquis Curzon of Kendleston K.G., P.CM. G.C. S.I., G.C.L.E., -was standing, as it were, watch in hand, in his sitting room in ' the Hotel de Chateau, having held up his train for 30 minutes And the meaning the meaning was perfectly simple, lust that Mustapha Kemal, care fully gauging the situation from Lausanne to Lahore and from the Ruhr to the Riff, had come to the deliberate conclusion that the end of the bluffing was not yet. Running over the cards in his hand, Kemal found what? First, the usual jealousies and enmities among the great powers. Just as in the old days, the German am bassadors In Constantinople, Mat schall von Bieberstein or Baron von Wangenhelm, could always safely be relief upon by Abdul Hamtd or Envar Pasha to disrupt the' unity of the powers, so now it was Franklin H. Boullon' with a secret Angora treaty, or Mr. Bompard with an intimation that Paris must not be taken too liter ally, when she announced her in tention to stop fooling in Lau sanne. ' - A separate treaty with France, calculates Kemal, would leave England .very thoroughly in the lurch, just as did that earlier ar rangement at' Angora. It Is true, reasoned the Turk, we cannot fight England at Chan ak, but we might tire her out by heaping delay upon delay., We are not really in any . hurry to get into ponstantinople now, for we have no longer got the Greek array on the run; but that is a small trump In itself, as it will enable us to represent to Cairo and Kabul, to Agra, Lahore and Delhi that the English Giaour. is Ikeeping "the faithful" out of full control of their holy cities of Adrl anople and Constantinople. And then, It is impossible to say what may -not happen: at Mosul.; The Russians are always saying' that they want an ' opportunity to get at the English. Redek said the thing was to find the place where dreadnaughts cauld not go and to which 15-centlmeter guns would not carry. : Mosul is just such a place. But, of course, it would be very dangerous to let a friend like Russia get there. Russia is so f riendly that she has a way of declining to go home and remain ing permanently with you. Any way, delay does hot matter to us and is very embarrassing to the great powers; while, having no prestige to lose, we can always give in at the last moment if we must and appeal to the sympathy and fanaticism of Islam. The calculation, is an astute one, but it Is not' without its weak ness. To begin with, in an im pressive phrase of Bismarck, it is always dangerous to play tricks upon great nations. That re doubtable pair. Count Aehrenthal and Count Berchtold, playod a very considerable trick upon Rus sia over Boznia and Herzegovina. It came off at the time; but the result is the condition, of the old Austro-Hungarian empire today. Then, again, no nation can live upon swords alone; it cost money even to make them. Turkey has burned Omyrna and 'driven out the Greeks, who were her great moneymakers. Yet she cannot very well live upon concessions, and it she could, she would oon find the energy and driving force of the concessionaires scorpions in comparison to the whips of the Greeks. And here is a thing Ke mal Is by no means forgettingi The Greeks, with England behind them., are no longer on the run. What Is the matter with Turkey Is nbt other people and other na tions, as Angora imagines; it is herself. The centuries come arid go with their changes, but she remains unaltered. She is a good servant, but a terrible master. One wonders if that interesting publicist, Aaron Hill, who lived In the years when the old Stuart dynasty ave place to the Guelph in Great Britain," and who trav eled much in Turkey, had the Turk in mind when he wrote: j i" Tia the same with common j natures; Use 'em kindly, they rebel; But be rough as nutmeg-graters And the rogues obey you well." : That really is what it all am ounts to. Kemal. looking over the cards in. his hand, decided that it was safe to go on bluffing yet a bit. lie had already won quite a number of tricks that way, because no one at Lausanne had the measure of the Turk as had that great ambassador, Sir Henry EJIott, who said: "Don't argue; tell him." GRANDPA GEORGE i Among the fresh responsibili ties heaped upon the graying head ot King George is that of being a grandfather. It is the first time anything like this has hap pened to him and he is a bit flus tered, don't you know; The calm confidence of Queen Mary, how ever, will pull him through all right. She "will naturally re strain him from any undue cele bration. There's nb danger of having a king full around Buck ingham palace.
