COL WOOD PREFERS

SAVS GOVERNOR HAS OXLY
CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY
Declares New Jersey Candidate for
Democratic Presidential Nomina
tion Has More Substantial Views
Than Others.
(By Colonel C. E. S. Wood In the
Oregon Journal.)
My preference among all tho can
didates, that have been named on
both sides Is Woodrow Wilson, and
the reason I prefer" him is that he
seems to be the only one who has a
decided constructive policy. I would
say the difference between a states
man and even a good laudable poli
tician is that the politician simply de
sires to hold things as they are, but
to make them clean and honest, while
the statesman perceives the flux and
flow ever going on in human life and
seeks to make such changes in our
Institutions as experience and added

wisdom suggest.-For examplo, Wood
row Wilson, both In private conver- J
nation and in his public addresses, has
certain very distinct programs. He
thoroughly believes in the Initiative
and referendum and yet ho does not
believe the Initiative should be the
regular dally method for making laws
(nor do I); but he believes that if
we can achieve a body of legislators
truly representative of the people
they may be trusted to do the gener
al routine of lawmaking and the Ini
tiative may be kept for great occa
sions or emergencies and as a check
on the legislative body.
ltCMpousibillty to Pooplo,
Everyone knows we have never had
a legislative assembly, either stato or
national, which represented the plain
common people. Wilson points out
that the reason for this is that tho
one agent who is directly, responsible
to the people, on whom a single re
sponsibility rests or ought to rest;
who is the eyes and ears and tongue
for the people, the executive, never
has had any voice or standing in the
halls of legislature. He very clearly
Instances the example of the appro
priation bill, or taking of the people's
money from their pockets. The ex
ecutive and his subordinates will be
charged with the duty of spending
this money. They have the manage
ment of the state's business and know
what Its bills are and its needs are,
and they do prepare the necessary
facts and data for appropriation
bl'.ls. But there their control over tho
matter ends, and in both national and
stato legislatures the estimate of ap
propriations or the budget Bent In by
tho Dresident or the governor is
thrown Into the waste paper bosket
and the members begin a system of
logrolling, swapping and wire pull
ing, each for himself and his own lo
cality, until an appropriation bill is
finally passed with which the execu
tive sas really had nothing to do.
He compares this with the English
system, where the executive or prime
minister, or his cabinet, can go upon
the floor of the house, explain the
budger, drag It out of pigeon holes,
prevent Its being mutlliated, or at
least can by dally speeches report It
In the press and by the records or
tho house keep the people fully post-
od as to just what their so-called rep
resentatives are doing, with the prac
tical result that the house of com
mons does represent the average man
much more truly than does our house
of representatives.
Then, again, Woodrow Wilson
ppints out that the clause of the con
stitution requiring all bills of reve
nue to originate in tho houso, has
become a dead letter, being observ
ed merely In the narrow letter of the
law. Because, after a bill has once
originated in the lower house the sen
ate. under the pretext of amend
monts, injects Into It all manner of
appropriations and the senate by tho
cohesive power of public plunder,
and by tho prestige of a longer term
of office. Invariably beats out the
house If disputed 'points go to con
ference.
Amendment Urged.
Wilson says that this vice should
be corrected and the constitution
ought to bo amended so as to allow
the people's choice and hand (tho
president and his cabinet) a place up
on the floor of the house, so that as
the agents for the people they may
keep au eye on what is done and re
port to the people just who Is to
blame for graft, looting, extrava
gance or improper legislation. Ho
says that he will, if elected, through
constitutionally denied any - voice in
the house, publish In the daily press,
for the benefit of the people,' just
what is being done in congress, re
gardless of any question of political
etiquette.
Anyone who will think upon ths
matter will become convinced that it
is much better that our executive
should with all dignity and decency
have the right to watch legislation in
the house and report to the people
as in a sense a member of that house,
than to have to use backdoor meth
ods, sending for members and laying
the cudgel on their backs, dickering
for patronage as tho price of sup
port, etc., etc. .
It would take too much time to
enumerate the progressive and con
structive ideas which I believe Gov
ernor Wilson approves as a student
of political history, and particularly
as a student of conditions in the Unit
ed States.
From personal talks with him I
know that, while he Is of course
nothing like so radical and extreme
ns myself, he is certainly to be class
ed as a progressive man with a con
structive program and with due def
erence to Governor Harmon and Mr.
Clark, knowing them to be fine gen
tlemen and honest politicians, I do
not think this can be said of them.
That Governor Wilson stands for all
the principles of democracy, Includ
ing free trade, we know, and what has
been urged against him namely, that
he has changed his views is to my
mind all in his favor, for it shows
two things: That he has the capac
ity for growth and ehange and that
he has the courage to avow his con
version and to admit his former mis
takes. No one who knows him or has
watched him can believe that his
change is from motives of tricky pol
icy. In fact, he would be much more
popular in the populous centers and
with tho "interests'' and standpat
democrats if he were not so frank an
advocate of thos progressive policies
which belong to the comparatively
scantily populated west.

The pouches were thrown off by

ty packages bearing the names and

of the Great Plains," in which the
damage done by the dogs was point
ed out, and various methods of pois
oning them were suggested. This
report may be said to have blazed the
way for practical extermination work.
Prairie dogs devour grass. Where
they establish themselves the destruc
tion of the range is only a question
of time.
Range improvement in national for
ests is one of the chief objects of
regulating the grazing. For this
reason the forest service of the Du
rango national forest Is going to leave
no stone unturned to pre"ent range
deterioration.
Stockmen who have suffered heav
ily from the prairie dog pest, were
solicitous to have the work taken up
and have offered to co-operate with
the service in furnishing men and
horses to distribute the poison.
Experiments were made last year
in parts of the Leadville and Pike
national forests. The region In these
forests upon which the dogs were lo
cated aggregated 300 square miles or
more. An area of some 60,000 or 75,
000 acres was selected for the test.
From 80 to 90 per cent of the dogs
were killed with the first distribution
o the poisoned wheat.
It will be necessary to go over the
ground a second time this spring, and
by "spotting" the occupied holes kill
off the remaining dogs.

will be scattered over tho forests and

The experiments made with poison
last spring -proved highly successful
in riding selected areas of prairie

plans are being made to carry on the
work on a much larger scale.
The first experiments in this line
were made in New Mexico by a stock
