Vlv FORGET IT The time is now in the over-time hours of the Oregon Legislature for all the members to forget that they are mem- oers oi political panies or xacuuius or wmes untuca- r To remember only that they represent the people of their counties and districts for the purpose of legislating for the benefit of the oeoole of the whole state !

This has been suggested because in at least one school in Marion county they bare organized a city gorernment. and are now .carrying on the administration to the prac tical advantage of erery pupil. his is an idea that should be spread. Not only : should they study city sorernment but .' they should study county government and state gorernment. The school to which we refer is the North Howell school. We hope U will carry- this work up to studying, county, state, and national gor ernment as well and we hope also that the North Howell "example will spread because it is a, wonder ful thing. i TWO PARTIES The decision of the labor unions not to play ' further with the -La-Follette party is a wise one.- The lesson of last fall appeals to all the people and labor certainly did get. the worst of-itIt is apparent that wk itre to hare of ljs f wo great . 1 -1 : Aii r tl- .r t- also apparent that we" must be liberal in our construction Of what means allegiance and loyalty to parties. It is just as wrong to head hunt in politics as it is in theology and it will get Just about a far. ; The republcan party Is the people's party. Of necessity it must hare a lot of men in it who do not agree on many things. They need to agree on the funda mentals and they need to agree on majority rule. The history of politics is that if - you don't get what pou want in one campaign, bide your time and build up Pub lic sentiment for it in the next campaign. This preserves , party organization . and really, furthers progressive legislation. To put new idea out on the firing line with out previous preparation means tts slaughter at the hands of un thinking people' but let 1t work Its way through party policies to becoming 'a party principle' and the people will be ready ' to ac cept it on its merits. , , ';.. ' A LJJGISIAT1E EVII4. . It ig apparent to any one .that one of the great erils of this leg islature has been local bills. They are not fair and yet there Is no way to prerent them under our laws. What we need in Oregon Is an amendment as they hare in most states prohibiting, local legis lation entirely. Few men hare the nerre to oppose a , local bill on principle and it is a mighty easy thing to make a legislator be Here that all his people want a certain thing, because only those Interested are. consulted in the petitions and letter.'' Most "states hare already prohibited local leg islation, and -. Oregon , should: ;do so at once we should solre a real bad problem. . - - J THE DOO POISONER i ; Every once In a- while . dog is "poisoned. Now there are a lot of worthless doss in the country and many need killing, but the dogs that are poisoned are gen erally some pets that get away from .home and . hare no better sense , than to be friendly with everybody. They are the ones to which "poison can be administered. Our idea of : a man "who will poison a dog is tha the sulphur- fumes of a four-letter word some times pronounced North Portland, as described in the legislature. will finally get him and ;he will deserve all he gets. IXCXD3IPRE1LENSH1LE At this time, when economy is the watchword and the whole world is orerburdened by taxa tion, it seems incredible that the members of congress should rote to Increase their own salaries No man has to be a member of congress and those who are there knew what the salary was when they were elected. It is a salary grab absolutely indefensible and Can not be justified by any con sideration of decency in , either politics or good morals.' - After all the fuss and furbe lows, C. E. Spence, the worst of fender of them all. goes on touched. " . - " . " ' " .

It Is a fine idea, ' ' ; THE ARMS PARLEY : ; President CooIIdge Is sounding out the nations for still further disarmament. He is certalnlj right. The world does not' want war,- and 'America will not hare war.. If will be a mighty hard thin; to arouse the American peo ple to get into another man's war. Of course If we were attacked the response would be our man-power, but no one is golnff to attack us and If we keep up moderate prep arations and not become pacifists but continue as haters of 'war, we can " do a ; lot . of good in, the world as leaders of. thought, and we can ; cause other nations , .to sare vast sums of money which are now wasted. So fast is the world, going that one battleship is hardly completed before it is put in discard and has . to giro place to a more up to date one.
