WANTED onferences have been held looking to the arrange ment of dates for a “Country Life Fortnight” in Portland dur ing the fall or winter months when dairy show, land show, stock exhibits, gatherings of hor ticulturists. creamerymen. wool growers. poultry and goat raisers, florists and similar or ganizations will be held. In this way it is thought meetings of in terest to farmers can be grouped so that events in similar lines can be held simultaneously, or following each other, and those interested can attend them all without losing much time from their duties at home. C HE lay of theOregon hen has been the subject of much thought on the part of the re gents of the Oregon Agricultural College and they will seek funds from the Legislature to establish a model poultry farm at Corval lis. The average hen in the state lays about 50 eggs per year, while champion layers at the col lege have gone well past the 200 mark in a twelvemonth. It is desired to develop a laying strain of poultry, and to sell the fowls and their eggs at a reasonable price to farmers is the object aimed at in establishing the poul try ranch. T STRONG demonstration has been made in favor of the proposed interstate bridge tween Oregon and Washington crossing the Columbia river at Vancover. Joint committees from the two state Legislatures went over the site chosen for the structure and looked carefully into the merits of the project. At a later meeting in Portland, attended by citizens of both states, support was aroused for the bridge and it seems likely the plan will be accomplished. A Wyoming made herself cele brated on the third Inst, by beat ing New’Jersey and New Mexico in deciding to support the Con stitutional amendment favoring an income tax. The next Con gress will have the job of pro viding laws to regulate the col lection of this source of revenue now'. it by the legislature. Really.it is much too jocose for a law. It pretends to pu rify the ballot by restricting the amount of monev that may be spent by the of fice-hunter. He may expend but 2> per cent of the salary of the office he is seeking—but his friends may use in his behalf a million dollars. That has a large dash of real humor, hasn’t it.' Ami the corrupt practices act ¡ b pleased to be jocular in other ways. For in stance :If you are an aspirant for office, but do not care to “announce” yourself, you can spend all papa’s money and pawn the wedding presents to get more with which to make your pussyfoot cam paign ; then when you have tooted your born by circular, through the press, at club meetings, ami in all the other ways kuown of and approved by the clever politician, you strike an altitude, place your right hand be'ween the buttons of your coat, look the corrupt practice* act squarely in the eye and say: “Hear ing the unanimous call of my fellow citizens, and mindful of the honor they have done me in the past, I reluctantly consent to take up the battle in their behalf. Gentlemen, I accept.” Funny! Why. the corrupt practices set should be in Joe Miller's joke boox. Senator I. 8. Smith of C<x»s and Cur ry has introduced a bill which he thinks will squeeze the facetiousness out of the corrupt practices act; but we hardly think he has put the screws on tight'? enough. The bill limits the expendi ture of the candidate to .30 per cent of hie salary for a year; contributions of ■friends’’ muBt be spent through a par ty committee of the candidate. That is little better than the present witty lav’. It does not at all limit the expenditure of money in politics. The “friends” c n spend as much as they ever did, be cause the candidate can appoint all the cheerful givers as members of an au thorized committee, through which they can in the future, as they have in the past, corrupt voters, debauch the press, be and buy office. The purpose of the corrupt practices act was to limit the expenditure by or on liehalf of acondidate to acertain sum, so that the rich candidate would have no advantage over hie poor opponent. Any amendment that does not clearly and unequivocally incorporate that in the law is an evasion, which is saved from the charge of dishonesty because of its paloable puerility.—Spectator.
