"Brass Tacks" Candidate Charles G. Dawes vigorously declares that he is going to make a campaign of "brass tacks not bombast" yet his use of the term "brass tacks" as well as his speech are more or less bombast, for he declares the main issue is "progressive conservatism" against "masked radicalism," that Davis and Bryan do not figure, but that LaFollette stands for the overthrow of the constitution and the triumph of the Reds which is not only bombast but buncombe. Neither LaFollette nor his platform can be called radical, except perhaps in contrast with Dawes and his platform. In fact LaFollette is anything but radical in the accepted sense. William Z. Foster, communistic nominee, state3 that the LaFollette platform is "the most reactionary document of the year" which is the way it is viewed by the Reds. It is true that the Socialists are to support LaFollette, that organized labor, the Farm-Labor and other discontented elements will rally to his standard, but outside advocacy of ' public ownership for water power and railroads, the LaFol lette program is individualistic, -and even the neutral and impartial administration of transportation and power are not inconsistent with individualism. LaFollette is a firm believer in laws and law enforcement as a cure for all evils. If anything is wrong, he would pa3s a regulatory law to remedy it. This of course necessitates more officials to enforce it and stimulates the growth of bureau cracy. Much of our present paternalism can be traced to the Wisconsin idea, fathered by Paternalism is viewed by Socialism, for when regulation believe the remedy is state ownership. The Communist goes further and would abolish all private property both of which ideas are indignantly repudiated by LaFollette. LaFollette threatens to republican states. That is endeavor to paint him as a destructive Red, to make him a bogey man threatening the overthrow of the country and rally the voters to save it by electing that peerless states man, Calvin Coolidge, who cannot manage a congress con trolled by his own-party. While we do not agree with the LaFollette program, he is at least, entitled to a square deal for he is anything but the futurist or cubist statesman That Office We are informed by the Portland Oregonian that Salem has revived the proposal for building in the rear of the supreme court building, to house the rapidly increasing number of slate employes, and save rent paying for scattered offices about the country. Theroxiro two elements of Salem are surprised because such proposal, as it is a matter would not be in good taste. prised that the army of stale under a tax-culling and reform If the rapid growlh of the bureacracy continues, nothing less than a modern sky scraper will bo needed to house the various departments now scattered all over Portland and Salem in privately owned structures. Some $14"2 a month is being paid for 17 different offices in 17 different places in Portland and $175 a month for two offices in Salem, a total of $1,G07 a month. In addition, every conceivable corner in the capital build ing is utilized, the senate chamber, the hall of representa tives, and the various corridors partitions. The supreme court with the state library and printing office cramped for space and curtailed m expansion. Of course the sensible thing to do would be to erect a sky scraper and concentrate all departments there, as it would be both a public convenience and a money saver. A still better solution would be to cut out about half the super fluous boards and reduce the number of employes 50 percent, as Hi-other Charlie did m Nebraska but it is apparently too much to hope for under an administration whose main contribution to economy has been the creation of new offices, When it is remembered that a decade or two ago, not even the basement of the state house was utilized and the top floor only partially occupied, and the state employes num bered hundreds where they number thousands now, we can understand why taxation lins OPENING FRIDAY OrcRon City, Ore., Auk. 21. flic dedication ot tho new Pacific highway link hero and tho ac companying celebration when Queen Hiiby will bo placed on the tnrone to rule over tho merry kingdom ol Fnllsnrla will take place Friday.

I have the utmost faith in the honesty and integrity of hoth M Cookinghum and Mr, Albert, the examiner for the clearing house association. Neither had intimate knowledge of this transaction and I am satisfied neither would ha given it their approval had they known the facts surrounding it, Both of these gentlemen will learn more about the neal from our re port than they ever knew before and, while their tongues may de fend the transaction, at heart they condemn and deplore it, because it was not in keeping with tho tra ditions of the institution. It was not in keeping with good business. It was not in keeping with sound morala. On the other hand, it was most unwise; it was foolish: it waa idiotic; it was shameful and it was criminal.

Nevertheless, M. Herriot went on, ho had come be fore the cabinet in Paris "de cided to limit to a maximum of one year the military occupation of the Ituhr. "To go beyond this waa to risk again a rupture of the confer ence,'' the premier added, "and he becanio convinced that if France remained in tho Ituhr except for a definite stay she would stay there absolutely alone."
