The 1 Roa<J To Success Start an account at our bank and get into Citisenahlp. T is not altogether bad that al most every county in the state wants an agricultural ex periment station. Rut it would be decidedly bad if the present legislature were to consider all the applications in the form of bills that are being presented this winter to the end of locating such institutions and try to support them. Experiment stations are not productive of finances or self- sustaining. If we stop to con sider them rightly they are not supposed to be. They are for the purpose of spending more money than they produce—thus saving some one else the necessity of spending their own resources. But it takes some cash to main tain one--say $25,(MX) or $50,000 annually, if any sort of a show is to be made or good be accomplish ed. The real truth is that the people of the state are beginning to realize that an experiment sta tion may be of some use and be fore having the two or three that are already established and sup ported by the Government with a minimum of state assistance, fully developed and provided with means sufficient to make them truly valuable, proceed to propose a score of small ones to divide the possible support. Now that is a mistake. There are several rea sons why the experiment station should be at the Agricultural College. Its lessons are brought home to the prospective farmer to more advantage there than they would be in any other loca tion in the state. Again, it is visited there by more people than it would be at any other place in the state for there are more rea sons for visiting the college, a hundred times over, than there w’ould be at any institution of the sort removed from the Col lege. We dare say there is not one percent of our readers who know’ there is an eastern Oregon Experiment Station, at all, and less than that who can tell where it is. And again, just put this under your hat. it costs money to run an experiment station. It re quires able men and women. It requires room in farm land. There must be buildings and provisions for experimental tools, seed, fruits, animals, feed, fer tilizers, drainage, roads, and a host of things unmentionable in one short article. We have seen one or two and think we know. Our station at Corvallis is now’ limited for demonstration grounds, proper barns, type breeds of livestock, and there is practically no limit to the money that may be put into these things. The fact that the people of the state are just beginning to value this sort of an institution is no reason why there should be one adjacent to every road district in the state, or one in every county. Let us make the most of those we have now, and for a considerable time to come, and when the wealth of the state and the counties warrant it will be time to locate county agricultur al experimental stations. I 'T'HERE is a bill before theleg- islature which purposes to limit the sending of money from other states into this state for the purpose of influencing legislation. This is a bill that should be de cided upon only after consider able deliberation. There may be instances where a little outside influence would be very bene- ficial, especially in those instances where the results are of nation wide effect. In general it ap pears to us that outside influ ences exerted to determine legis lation that will be of local or state effect should lx* excluded. We ought to know enough to keep our own house. We think the average of intelligence in this state will be* equal that of most other states and that we are probably as able on the average to determine what is for our own good as some one or more persons from the outside. But there is one phase of the matter that seems to be overlook ed. Why has not some one pro posed that the sending of money into the state for the purpose of assisting some political candidate into office shall be sufficient cause to declare the candidate’s nomin ation illegal in the event of his having secured the nomination. The people of a state ought to be able to chose their own officers and as long as the leather trust, or the coffee trust or the oil trust or some one or more of the hun dreds of other trusts are able to furnish the campaign expenses through a committee, or directly, the local citizenship can not be said to have the exclusive deter mining of their official represen tatives. Another thing, the bill will not be complete unless it provides that not only must the nominee file a statement of his expenses which must not exceed a certain percent of the annual salary of the office, but it should also be provided the 2 percent shall in clude all expenses incurred by any committee or friend or group of friends, who may desire to render assistance. When we have arrived at this condition of limitation it will be possible fora man to be a candidate for any of fice in the country even if he is a poor man. Honor and manliness, and ability will be the essentials of selection. Influence and wealth are the requisites now.

That is all well and good, but isn’t he over-loading some when he plans for the present president of the Senate to officiate as lieutenant- governor until the people have an opportunity to elect one. In the first place he is making him self solid with Malarkey; in the second, how can anyone “act” as lieutenant-governor until the constitution has been amended permitting such an officer? He also provides for a succes sion, in case of vacancies, to the governor's position, through the lieutenant-governor and the speaker of the House. “Pat” evidently doesn’t intend that “Ben” shall step between him and the first place in the state. habit the For almond cake filling blanch pound a pound of almonds, add eggs, a cupful of sugar and a spoonful of vanilla and spread ’ween the leyers for homes, offices, shops and other places need ing light.
