The annual fair of the second East ern Oregon District Agricultural So ciety, embracing W asco and Hood River counties, will be held In The Dalies, October 1, 2, 3, and 4, and pro m ises to surpass anything of the kind ever attempted in this section of the state. Owing to the surprising develop ment of the livestock Industry since the Portland Union Stockyards com pany established Its plant at Kenton a little more than 18 months ago, the directors have ordered the capacity ef the pens doubled at a cost of more than (100,000, and the work has al ready been commenced.

Hyslop, of the Oregon agricultural college, are Washington. Yamhill, Marlon, Polk. U o , Clacka mas and Benton. Counties haring the best drained soils are preferable for raising clover seed, he says. Dr. J. F. Calbreath of Portland, who has been elected superintendent of the erstern Oregon asylum for insane nt Pendleton, made vacant by the resig nation of Dr. M. K. Hall of La Grande, has informed State Treasurer Kay that he thought he would accept the I 'sltlon. He said he would not say oc.lnitely until he had time to arrange h a affairs.

It will appear on the November ballot, warns the alert Portland Journal, and is what is known as the majority l amendment Its requirement is that no initiative measure can pass unless supported by a majority of all who vote at an election. Its effect is to record as voting against the measure every person who votes no as well as every person who does not vote at all. It registers as voting against the measure, whether bill or constitutional amendment, every voter who does not care enough about the bill to express his choice. It arrays against the proposition all the forces of unconcern, apathy, non-patriot ism and discontent It would set up a process that would make it extremely difficult to pass an initiative measure at all. The proposal should be beaten. Its passage would be a knife-plunge into the vitals of direct legislation. It is the most serious attack yet made on the Oregon system. There are changes that should be made, but this is not one of them. When we amend our system of direct legislation the aim should be to improve, not destroy.
