supervises the building operations. After completion of
the building, half of the investment can be borrowed from
banks on a first mortgage, the association retaining a
second mortgage for the balance, thus releasing the
money for construction of another house.
The plan has been proved successful in many cities,
and is being put into effect in Eugene and in California
towns. It will enable the man of moderate means, either in
business or on salary, to acquire a home.
The housing situation is acute in Salem. The city is
daily losing population for lack of houses. With the com
ing of spring and the opening of new industries, it will
become more serious. Citizens must show their faith in the
future of Salem and make that, future possible by co-operation
and support of this and similar movements.
Here is an opportunity for Salem to set a thrift exam
ple to the country by subscribing the full amount of stock
in this public spirited move for civic welfare during thrift

THE senate refused to submit to the vote of the people
' the proposed constitutional amendment requiring
two-thirds majority of Votes cast to adopt an amendment
as against a majority vote, as at present, because of the
"Old Guard's" fondness for tinkering with the constitu
tion. The measure was a two-edged sword, working both
against freak amendments by cranks, and legislative de
sires. . :" " '
Three times the legislature has sought to amend the
constitution to provide a lieutenant governor. In 1912.
the measure was defeated by a vote of '61,644 to 50,562.
In 1914, the proposed amendment was again defeated by
a vote of 14:5,804 to 52,040. Not disheartened, the legisla-

Apparently convinced of the hopelessness , of creat
ing an executive fifth wheel to make impossible succes
sion ot the secretary ot state, the legislature has now
submitted an amendment to make the president of the
senate governor in case of the death or disability of the
executive.
There wa3 some merit in the proposed creation of a
lieutenant governor who would at least be elected by the
people. There is none in the elevation of the president
of the senate, who is not elected by the people, but by the
political machine that dominates the senate. The people
nave no voice in nis selection.
The proposed amendment is .doomed to more river
whelming defeat than the legislature's previous attempts
to side-track the secretary of state. The neonle are ienl-
ous of their rights and suspicious of the machinations of
legislators and will not confer upon the "Old Guard" of
politicians that dominate the senate, executive power and
patronage.

Of course, the. bees- wouldn't go
down into the water too. They knew

ready to pounce upon his nose.
So poor Cuffy, had to keep pulling
his head down intp the pool. He would
keep it there Just as long as he could
hold his breath: and then he would
simply have to stick his nose out of the
water in order to draw some fresh air
into his lungs.
It was not long before Cuffy became
very tired from so much swimming.
So he found a shallow place where he
could stand on the bottom of the brook
with just enough water to cover him.
and where he could poke his nose out
whenever he had to. And just as often
as his little black noce came up above
the surface of the pool the bees lighted
on it and stung Cuffy again.

Cuffy had to stay there in the water

understand, he could hardly see to pick

"So John did not forget to buy me
flowers!" I s iid to myself, "but he de

after a moment. "Hudn't you better

John opened his mouth and then his
lips tightened. I was fully aware that
had I not been quite so ill he would
have said something ugly to me.
Instead, however, he remarked: "I

did when I was' here before. I rather
like you in those short curls, although
I never before had cared for a short

"I am glad you rather like me, any

I knew that in his usual brusque man

thought of Karl Shepard's violets, or
his own parsimony ln the matter of
buying flowers for my sick room.
