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.

too jocose for a law. It pretends to pu
rify the ballot by restricting the amount

He may expend but 2>
per cent of the salary of the office he is

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.

will squeeze the facetiousness out of the

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.
