Macy at the lueetitiR of the council in the city hall tonight. The city attorney, at the meeting of the council two weeks apo, was ordered to bring in nn opinion tonight, revealing future right to authority on the council of the members. The council, nt Its l.t-st meeting, passed nn ordinance establishing ward boundaries in the city, to become ef fective Tuesday. With this re-establishment of the boundaries they nit bo changed that, it is estimated, seven coimcllmen will be thrown out of po- nlMrniN nn the f.riiim.ll. Tt In understood that the councilman who ar affected whole paraphernalia and propaganda of self-seekers, of politicians by the ciwnge will resign tonight, and and partisans, and force the nomination of some broad-visioned businessman, like Hoover, who is spurned by the politicians, but who is recognized by the people as the type of man needed in the White House. CAUSE OF THE PARALYSIS The government of the United States fails to function be cause of politics and partisanship. The senate has failed to ratify peace because of politics and partisanship. Congress has ignored reconstruction measures becauase of qeorgb putnam. Editor-Pubiisbw I politics and partisanship. ! Decent treatment for ex-service men is refused by congress because of politics and partisanship. j, The war ia muckraked anid congress divides on party lines iiij all investigation reports because of politics and partisanship.

" Statesmanship, citizenship, honesty and common sense have been discarded in congress because of politics and partisanship. Everything that is done or left undone is for the sole reason of its influence upon the coming election, for the- glittering promises of fulfilment that can- be held forth in the campaign for votes. We have turned over the government to narrow partisan politicians and as a result we have lack of leadership, indecision and paralysis, and a complete breakdown in legislative affairs. Any business on earth managed in such fashion faces bankruptcy and destruction. Shall we continue to turn over affairs of the people to the politicians to play their selfish games of greed and grab for spoils?, Shall we permit these politicians to continue to misrule the 1 country by letting them name the candidates for the rest of us to . vote for or shall we name them ourselves? The malady of the nation is politics and partisanship. Its cure lies in cutting out the cancer of politics and installing a non political administration of proven capacity, common sense and common honesty that will act for the welfare of all the people and not for the party bosses and political advantage. Shall we continue to wear the blinders of party prejudice to the profit of the politicians, helpless pawns in a vicious game of privilege, or shall we oust the usurpers of popular rights and re store sanity and service to public service ?

State Has No Control Over Railroad Line The Oregon public service commls flon has no jurisdiction to change the ntandavil time under which railroad companies shall operate, In the opin ion of Attorney General ltrown. The Opinion was given in reply o a request from the Oregon commission which has been asked by the Idaho- commis sion t co operate with that body In changing the standard time under which trains on the Oregon Short Line operato between I'ocntollo, IJi.. and Huntington, Oregon, from Pacific lime to mountai n time. Inasmuch lis a few miles of this division of thaOre pon Short Line Is in Oregon, it Is pointed but, the co-operation of the Oregon commission would be neces sary in ovdor to make the change in timo complete, undoperntlvo. could she find. No one had seen him. At last Mi-s. Rabbit happened to meet Jasper Jay. "Have you seen Jimmy?" she asked. "Yes!" he said. "Right after break fast I saw him hurrying along the road by the river. The gypsies have a camp there. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they had stolen him," he added very cheerfully. When Mrs. Rabbit heard that she was terribly upset. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! she cried. "Whatever shall I do?" "The usual tiling," Jasper Jay told her, "Is to offer a reward." "Is that so?" said Mrs. Rabbit "I've never done anything like that. Will you help me?" "Why, certainly!" said Jasper. And he set to work and painted a big sign, which looked like this: Ijost, Strayed, or Stolen! A boy in a checkered suit, with a short tail and long ears. He answers to the name of Jimmy Rabbit. A re T.y the time he had reached Henry wara wiI1 be pai(1 fQr his retUrn, and Skunk, Jimmy could think of nothing no questions asked, new to say. Mrs. Rnbbit.

RUINING THE COUNTRY PRESS. Small papers throughout the United States and Canada are suspending publication because "of the impossibility of securing news print, the prohivitive price that must be paid when it can be secured and the high wage scales and increased cost of production. The situation is so acute that the question has been raised as to whether the country press as an institution is not doomed. Paper is high because the big city papers have contracted nearly all the mills' production and have forced the price up by bidding against each other for the paper not contracted. Advertis ing and circulation have increased until the demand for paper ex- ceeds the production. Congress, coerced by the big paper influence, refuses to regulate, the size of papers admitted to the mails and there is no relief in sight. Some of the large eastern papers, like the Chicago News, the Chicago Tribune, the New York papers and the Hearst pub lications have voluntarily reduced the size of their issues and raised rates to curtail the volume of business to help the situa tion, but many city newspapers refuse co-operation. , Commenting upon the situation, the Eugene Guard remarks: "The country press is not dead yet, but it is dying. Its resources are limited, ' It cannot arbitrarily raise advertising rates nnd there is a limit to its subscription price. It must pay the high wages of the city. Everything that enters Into its cost of production has gone "out of sight". It can live only if it can command the support and loyalty of its community. And that It ought to have. It would have It, too, If the community really real ized the Hot-vice these small papers perform. Realization will come when .'these papers disappear and the community, without a medium of expres sion, finds Itself left to the callous indifference or sneering jibes of the big city daily. Tho small paper generally has a heart. It also needs a head the day of the conjunction of ignorance and ink has about gone. But If a community has a paper, however smalt, that has a head and a heart, It should cling to that psper with all the support at Its command. If not, it will find Itself Isolated, indeed." j Small papers in Oregon have greater handicaps than those' of any other state because of the hostile attitude of the big city newspapers. The Journal has crippled tne country press ana ma teriallv reduced its income by initiating and forcing the passage of laws fixing advertising rates and curtailing legal publications, while the Orcgonian and Telegram wantonly waste enough paper to supply all the other papei'3 of the state and in addition cut cir dilation prices in the country to a point below that which local papers can meet, in a systematic effort to ruin the country press. If the country press in Oregon is doomed, the blame can le placed upon the journalistic hogs of Portland. Rippling Rhymes BY WAL" MASON m0i .-" IN THE HOLE. .
