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 ! ' j
And there are a few, definite things to be done, as out
lined in this corner of The Statesman of Sunday morning;
for which there is a studied program by the joint ways and
means committee ; and which can be done in a spirit of friend
liness and cooperation quickly,

not to play ' further with the -La-Follette
party is a wise one.- The

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

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

so at once we should solre a real
bad problem. . - - J
THE DOO POISONER i ;
Every once In a- while . dog

and many need killing, but the
dogs that are poisoned are gen

sense , than to be friendly with
everybody. They are the ones to
which "poison can be administered.

He hesitated a second longer
before taking the oo in and pocket
