Job 22:23. U'Ren to the Rescue W. S. U'Ren, "father of the Oregon system," who is to a large extent responsible for the craze of government by constitutional amendment, which having spread from Oregon over the nation for the demoralization of the body politic, has given us prohibition, suffrage, and other more or less dubious blessings, now proposes to prevent future war by amending the federal constitution. t Great is the power of amendment! If we can change human nature and end crime by merely passing a law, as our U'Ren's have convinced our legislators and congressmen, why of course we can abolish war by a constitutional amend ment. The great law-giver wants Oregon to take the lead by enacting, through the initiative, a mandate to the Oregon delegation directing it to obtain the submission of an amend ment to the constitution under the terms of which "the United States will wage war in its own territory to repel invasion, but its armed forces shall not take any part in war for any other cause in any other land, except that it reserves the right to aid any nation of America and Australia an its own territory to repel invasion." If rowdy nations persist in insulting and attacking a "gentleman nation," like your Uncle Sam's, Mr. U'Ren .ays we'll boycott them ! Which means, of course, we will refuse to trade, and as under the beneficent protective tariff we sell more than we buy, of course the belligerent would be brought to his knees in no time. In the meantime, under1 modern warfa're, fleets of hostile ' airplanes would probably bomb our cities, gas our inhabitants, torpedo our vessels, blast our factories and destroy our commerce and we'll even it up by a slap on the wrist, when the president "suspends diplomatic, trade and business relations." War is an evil, so, by all means "there orter be a law against it " That'll end it. Taxes Increasing Property taxes levied in Oregon this year, as compiled by the Oregon Voter, total $42,600,783 which is an increase of $2,470,757 over last year, not including revenues derived from other sources which shows how fur we have realized Gov ernor l'icrce's promise to cut taxes in half.
