T. W. Davenport, of Silverton,
father of the cartoonist. Homer Dav
enport, and a keen and far-seeing pol
itician, writes as follows of the old
methods of nominating candidates for
office. Following Is a portion of an
excellent article In the last week's
Silverton Appeal:
It is asserted by persons opposed to
the direct primary law, that It costs
the people $50,000 more than the old
way.
This I must consider a baseless as
sumption, for although the cost of the
direct primary is pretty well determ
ined, the cost to the commonwealth
of the old system was never known or
ould be known; then how can It be
shown that there Is a difference of
JS0.000?
Now. notwithstanding the fact that
one can be estimated in dollars and
cents, and the other Is Incomputable
in like denominations, I think there
is no difficulty In comparing the two
systems and arriving at an undoubted
conclusion that the old system Is far
more expensive than the new one.
And to begin, the loss of time to the
people In the work of the direct pri
mary is no greater than the other;
so that is even. Then comes the
cpunty and state conventions which
are supplanted by the new method,
and their cost eliminated.
There are 33 counties in the state
and the cost of holding that many
conventions and a state convention,
composed of not less than 100 dele
gates each. In all probably as many
as 5000 persons, paying.board. travel
ing expenses and other incidentals,
aggregating how much less than
150,000? which somebody has to pay
and the-question is, who pays the bill?
The political party? No. verily! The
delegates pay it at the time, but how
do they get even?
Or are they self-sacrificing parties
working to establish their principles
for the common good? Not on your
life. They are aspirants to office or
working f')r those who are, and expect
remuneration In some way at some
time r.ot far ahead. They constitute
a prospective army of Invasion, upon
th) commonwealth, as everybody
knows.
That such an army has been sus
tained at public expanse for the last
SO years is as evident as any other
human fact, for armies without pay
or the prospect of .pay, soon disband.
If American politics had not paid its
voturies It would not have required
any direct primary or other law to
eml it.
Tolitlcs, as foreigners truthfully de
scribe it, is the great American in
durtry. Rut to proceed; the candidates for
office have been selected, and now
the work of assessment begins. Mem
ber." of the lower house of the legis
lature are assessed (20 apiece; sena

ers, who never explain how or what
or to whom it is disbursed a wholly
unnecessary proceeding, as they ere
a!l honorable men.
The members of the legislature re
ceive a per diem of $3 for 40 days
$120 and out of this come their
board ar.d wash hills, so that their
assessment amounts to nearly half the
remainder.
As they cannot avoid the assess
ment and be partlzans, the question
arises. Is this system conducive to the
practice of economy In their legisla
tive career?

Coffin Bros., that Is. the Wenncr
Sheep company, has 6000 ewes at

on hay and grain. The season has
been an extraordinary one in every
respect and Stanley Coffin reports an
exceptionally good lambing. They

as the lambs are all February born

That the students of the Pendleton
high school are loyul to the University ,
of Oregon was shown yesterday after
noon when a stirring resolution en
dorsing the university appropriation
was passed by the student body. The
following is the resolution In full: (
Whereas, The work of the U. of O.
is but a continuation of that prescrib-,
ed for the high schools of the state,
and believing thut-lt should be given
the same or even greater support than
the secondary schools are now re
ceiving, and knowing that It has al
ways been customary for the majority
of the members of the graduating
classes of the high schools to attend
the U. of O. In preference to other
Institutions of the state, aitd
Whereas, The earnest support of
the U. of O. Is needed to encourage
more students to seek and enjoy high

der to compete with the educational
institutions of other states of the west
and northwest, which are now receiv
ing appropriations varying from $200,
000 to $600,000 annually, and
Whereas, The status and progress
of a state Is measured largely by the
standard of Its educational Institu
tions and the support given thereto,
and knowing that if the appropria
tion made by the last session of the
legislature for the operation and main,
tenance Is rejected by the voters of
the state at the coming June election
that .the work of the U. of O. will
have to be discontinued, be It
Resolved, That we, the associated
students of the Pendleton high school,
take a firm stand for the U.'of O. and
deplore any attempt to hold up or
limit the appropriation and that we
exert such power and Influence as we
may have to encourage the voters of
the state to give the university their
hearty support and that we solicit the
co-operation and support of the other
high schools throughout the state In
our endeavor to uphold the standard
of the U. of O.. and be It further
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be spread upon the minutes,
a copy be published In the Ilakawlnn.
