In boosting for good roads ex-Seuator Jonathan
Bourne has entered upon a lire work of which he may
well be proud. His plait id tne most feasible yet ad
vanced for such a greatly to be desired culmination,
and we sincerely hope that lie will win out.
Again Saturday evening was the pitiful inadequacy
of our fire alarm system thoroughly demonstrated
Our hose team came up Main street and hail to stop
and inquire where the fire was, not desiring to he run
ning off in a totally wrong direction. Then all they
could find out was from a passerby, who said that he
had seen a light off in the west as he came from home.
This matter should be taken up by the council and
rectified at once, or it may cause serious loss of prop
erty.
The Oregonian and a number of its correspondents
are sepnding lots o f space in an effort to decide wheth
er a man and his wife can live on $90 a month.
We know of a man right here in Dallas who has
always lived fairly well, has provided for his
wife and family of several children, and lias
managed to save up $5000 in cold cash on never
more than $00 a month, and many times
was out of employment. This question all depends on
the man—and the woman.

The Oregonian continually harps on the lack of a
united republican puny, and claims that this or that
would have occurred had the party been united. The
party is united enough as iar as it goes, che only
trouble with the Oregonian being that it is trying to
claim allegianc e from voters who will never again ailil-
iate with the party. The raw machine work at the last
national convention left thousands of voters without a
party, and you run up against them every day. They
are not necessarily Progressives, hut frankly state tiiat
they do not know to which party they belong. It is
pretty nearly a certainty that republicanism as it has
lately been expounded will never he able to claim them
again.

PROPOSED FOOL LAW.
While the legislature is known to have perpetrated

many fool laws on the people of the state of Oregon,
laws that are indefinite in meaning, and which it gen
erally takes years to straighten out and get into pass
ably good Tuning order, yet when it comes to the
people making laws they can get some ones that are
equally as had.
Now comes a Mrs. Jeuu Bennett and
proposes at the general election to have passed a law
making an eight-hour working day obligatory on every
one. but! lias uaU.Llie law uiaileu Liy ¿iiiotiiey oeneial
UuWiuul, and u is luosl uiasuc m every pal Ucuiai,
applying to every trade, pioiesb.on and industry, su m
a law would oe a most roolisu one, and extremely det
rimental to many lines oi business, in e larmer, lor
instance, would he certainly up against it to make a
living. During certain times oi tne year the larmer
must necessai uly pusn tilings in order to get his crops
harvested, and lor any law to say ai hilarity tiiat he or

tile hours ot 8 a. m. and 5 p. in. would put him so iur m
the hole that it would he impossible to either get tne
necessary work done, or to m„ke anything ou( m the
job alter it was done. Even now, with the price that
is demunded tor puiely physical labor, the farmer unus
himself up against it, even it ue can work ins hands lor
twelve liouis. 'i bote is not enough in wheat, oats
and other tilings oi the Kind to make a prolit a.ter
paying the price for labor, and it is only by intensified
farming, the making o outer tilings balance up the
deheit, tiiat a larmer can nowadays occupy the proud
position he does in the way of a livelihood. To attempt
to raise grain and pay the wages demanded lor only an
8-hour day would mean bankruptcy in a little while.
In fact, there is hardly anything a farmer grows but
what would become non-paying ii the hours of labor
nre to he curtailed. There are many other lines of
business tiiat would suffer in a like way, if such a law
would pass. Newspapers would be compelled to quit
existence, especially the country ones, as the labor
problem is now drawn on the very smallest margin of
profit, and prices would have to go up for everything
charged, or the paper go Into the sheriffs hands.
Stores being only open from 8 to 5 would have to raise
prices on everything they sell in order to make up for
the I o b s of time, it not being feasible to work two sots
of labor. The families who hire domestic labor would
have to do all their eating in eight hours, and go hun
gry the balance ot the time, or hire two cooks. In
tact, such a law would entail so many hardships, when
you get to thinking of it seriously, that the Itemizer
does not believe there is any danger of the people vot
ing it. The ballot title of the proposed law will read as
follows, and it would he well to think what a really
drastic thing it couid become:
"initiated by Mrs. Jean Bennett on behalf of Unlver-
sisal Eight Hour league. Universal constitutional
eight hour amendment, its purpose is to add section 9
to article 15 of the Oregon constitution prohibiting any
man, woman, hoy or girl from being employed more
than eight hours in any one day, or 48 hours in any one

or in any domestic service, or in any kind of employ

cal. w ithin the state of Oregon. This law applies to
children and o th er relatives of employers.”
