Delegates Swarm 'Round Aimlessly (Continued from page one) th' nomination has got a cinch In No vember.

FOR A LEGISLATIVE SOVIET. The "People's Power League" composed of O. R. Hartwig, president of the recently organized Land and Labor party, W. S. j U'Ren, father of the "Oregon System" and single-tax advocate, jp. H. Chapman, now editor of a non-Partisan League paper in Idaho, Arthur Brock, a labor organizer and otners have dratted a proposed constitutional amendment for submission at the Novem ber election, wheih provides a soviet government for Oregon by basing election of representatives on voter's business occupations, instead of partisan politics, abolishes the state senate and subor dinates the executive department. The proposed amendment proposes a house of representatives lof a hundred members, chosen proportionally by occupation, as the governing power,which will elect one of its members govern or, who holds office only while he commands a majority support in the legislature. He has no veto power. Failing to secure sup-' port, he must either resign or dissolve the legislature and call a l-new election, after the manner of European parliaments." The legislature can be dissolved and a new election ordered by the 'people at any time. Its life is seven years. It meets once a year. he salary of a legislator is $500 annually. Voting by mail is sanctioned. Registered legal voters of every business are to be entitled to nominate and elect one representative in the legislature for each one-hundredth of the whole number of legal voters in the state who are registered under the name of that occupation. The proportion and classification of the representatives is estimated as follows : 14 farmers ; 14 farm housewives ; 4 tenant workers ; 3 merchants; 2 manufacturers; 7 railroad and transportation workers; 3 male clerks and salesmen; 5 loggers and sawmill workers; three professional men' (capitalists, lawyers, doctors, bankers, priests and editors) ; 20 town dwelling housewives ; 2 women factory workers; 3 women clerks, saleswomen, stenog raphers and school teachers; one for cooks and waiters; one for fishermen; one for actors and other theatrical employes; one domestic and personal service. The authors expect the people, under this plan, to elect their most intelligent, unselfish and patriotic leaders to represent them, and expect laws to be made and administered, first for the welfare of the children, second, for the welfare of the women, third, for the rights of men, fourth for the rights of property and last for the rights of profit. These are great expectations. The authors have an altruis tic faith in human nature and a despondent belief in the perman ent class stratification of Oregon society. They are optimistic theorists as regards the intelligence and unselfishness of the class, but, pessimistic as to the humanity of the mass. " They believe in the inauguration of a foreign caste system for American democ racy, and the substitution of vocational calling for ability of leadership. They would make government a central trades union regarding only the welfare of the workers, overlooking the fact that the welfare of the workers depends upon the welfare of indus try and that business must be profitable or idleness and want re place prosperity. . The bill will serve a useful purpose in calling attention to the defects in our existing system. It contains some meritorious ideas. It limits the franchise to the industrious and bars the non producer and parasite. It lengthens the term of office, making for greater stability of government. It would diminish the vicious influence of the privilege seeking corporation and special interest whose lobbying is done by lawyer legislators under "re tainers" fees. Our governmental faults in Oregon are not due so much to the system, but to the people who fail in their duties and obliga tions of citizenship. Government will grow better as the people become better fit to govern, and the people will be no more fit finder such an occupational soviet form than they are under the existing order. mm if .it r ' v' -rr byart h SCOTT .

Rippling Rhymes If Grimes is our next president, the land will be in clover; we all shall bask in sweet content, our troubles will be over. So say the boys who whoop for Grimes, and fix his divers fences, and hint we ought to dig some dimes to pay campaign expenses. If Grimes wins out, the useful lad who's always busy toiling, will never lack a helpful scad to keep the kettle boiling. And in the bank he'll have a hoard of large gunmctal dollars, tnd he will own a nice tin ford, and Sunday shirts and collars. If Grimes wins out the idle jay will have no decent standing; he'll loaf throughout the golden day, free soup and pies demanding. 'Twill be the same if Grimes should lose, his hopes to ashes turning; all kinds of men will get their dues, will get just what they're earning. The man who buckles down to work will find the times are booming, and we will see the village shirk in some cheap poorhouse rooming. I'll vote for Grimes, but if he wins I'll keep on sawing maple, that I may fill my shelves and bins with fancy grub and staple. LOVE and MARRIED LIFE By the Noted Author IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Bad News. "My dear Katherlne," began John's letter rather formally! ar.ti I knew without reading any further that he had something to say that was not par ticularly pleasant. "I am sending you a clipping from one of the papers here, which will tell you the whole story of our entry Into the oil business, and your exit from It, much better than I can. "it really reads like a movie. You 'I J i 1 " 1 i i! m ! Boms o" these flays somebuddy go In' t' be so jiiilltv thev can I find a hiw ver fi'iiMUJS eiimh t ueffed eon H A i ii' .

But he did not tell all this to Timo thy. When he stepped behind Timo thy and gazed nt his back, Peter Mink thought of a fine way to tease the old fellow. Of course, he had not the sllghtesr idea what those marks on Mr. Turne s sheU meant But he looked down at them with a wise smile, Mr. Turtle, watching Peter out of the corner of his eye, saw that smile; and he did not like it In the least. In fact, it made him feel quite peevish. "Well, what do you see?" he asked Peter Mink Impatiently. "Ah!" Peter Mink replied with a shake of his small head. "I'm not go ing to tell you, Mr. Turtle. I doi want to hurt your feelings. And if I were to explain that your back says you're a disagreeable, mean old scamp, you know you'd be very angry." Peter Mink jumped out of the way just in "me. "For Timothy Turtle wheeled with amazing swiftness and snapped at his tormentor. "Don't do that!" Peter cried. "I didn't say anything about you, iar. Turtle." "You'd better not," Timothy warnee him. "And If Johnnie Green carved any such words as those on my shea t don't know what to do. I certainly don't want to carry them about with me for the rest of my life." He looked unhappy, to say the least. He krtew, that probably he would live a great many years longer. And he was puz zled. "Why don't you get a new shell?" Peter Mink inquired. "I'd hate' to do that," Timothy Tur tle told him. "I've had this one a Jjnfc time; and it fits me perfectly." "Then why don't you get the well known tailor, Mr. Ferdinand Frog, to G. O. P.

Timothy Turtle ex claimed. 'Til see Mr. Frog at once. And some day I'll do something hand some for you, because you've been a great help to me." "Why wait?" Peter Mink demand ed. "Why don't you do it now?" Knowing that Timothy was stingy. Peter thought that the old gentleman would soon change his mind about "do Ing something handsome" for him. "No!" Timothy Turtle declared.

Th.. v......,!,. all the land around your little tract, ana much to their surprise they did strike a gusher on their own land. Not content to make money honestly they piped out over to yours hoping to be able to sell both their own and your wells at fabulous prices. It was at this moment that your Cousin Charles turned up, and having paid the taxes which these two crooks had neglected to do, he was able to prove title for you. Then they decided to deflect the oil back to their own well, and did so. And there you are. Coming Back to the Job. "You have never had an oil well and I don't believe there is any oil on your land. So sure I am of It. that I was o. fered a thousand dollars for th acre yesterday and took it, and I am coming back to take up my own job again. I have Just paid this thousand dollars for bills that have been made down here.. "I shall probably be home" the first of the week.

The property was on the market, at a smaller figure than it will ever be sold tor again. Frankly, however, I think I had better keep It for an Investment, and we'll go right on living with my mother just as we have been doing. You will see by the paper clipping thai I have had the men arrested. The joe has created a great sensation down here; but I don't like paying out five or six thousand dollars just to provide the reading public with a sensation." Told By a Telegram. While I was reading this letter Han nah delivered me a telegram. It was from John and read: !'I have changed my mind. Will be with wou almost as soon as my special delivery letter. Things are looliiiig rather blue. Since I have been away the office has let two large accounts slip away from them and with the losses made down here and the purchase of that house there will be considerable cut in our income for the next year. I'll tell you about It when I.see you, John." I went to .the telephone and called up Charles and he came over Immed iately. I showed him John's letter and wire. "Katherlne, I believe you are psy chic," he said In surprise. "No one could have called the turn as you did on this entire business without having some supernatural power." I wondered what Charles would think if I should tell him all the things I see. I can visualize Karl Shep ard out there in Lotus Land and I know exactly how he looks and almost what he Is thinking. So intent I was upon my own task that I did not realize what Charles was saying, but after he had read the letter again he said to me: "Please don't think, Katherlne, that I am making suggestions which I should not, but If I were you I would take out that (2,500 that you have In your checking account and put It In a safe deposit box for a little while." "Why should I do that, Charles?" Will Want It Immediately. "Well, don't you see that your hus band Is coming back and he will want that money Immediately to put on that house and I dothlnk you should have a little money of your own that yeu can call upon if you wish." "You know I have this little Income that I can not touch for the upkeep of this house, Charles." "Yes, I know, but" Tomorrow John Returns. Hutchason Wins Gold Medal For Insurance Sales 3. F.
