Two Many Laws
“ Residents of Oregon,” says a news dispatch,
“ must wtach their step a little Mote closely from
now on if they would escape an argument with the
cm trtls,” Tettiarks the Portland Journal.
And the news story is descriptive of the situta-
tion; More than 80 new laws passed by the 'flVPgtth
legislature at the late session have already gone into
effect. That is 80 more laws that people have to
know and obey. Saturday 370 more new laws, also
passed by the recent session but without the em­
ergency clause, go into effect. Subtracting the laws
Which repealed old ones, something in the neighbor­
hood of 400 new statutes will go ofa the books for the
regulation of individuals and corporations.
At the legislative session before the last one,
morfe new laws were written, for people to know and
obey. At the session before that there were new
laws. New laws have come from every legislative
session that ever convened.
Meantime, city councils have been piling up the
regulations for people to know and obey, Ik) on ties
have been doing it. States have ben doing it. The
federal government has been doing it. They have all
been doing it for years past and undoubtedly they
will he doing it in the years to come.
• And groping along through life goes the poor
old citizen, trying to get along in the world and still
frying to know and obey all the laws that are turned
out for his regulation like sausages at a sausage fac­
tory.—Rosebuyg Newa-Review.

It la,not my purpose to dis­
cuss the merits of,. or objections
to, this law and its application to
Jackson county. I hare an opin­
ion, but some of my best friends
think differently; it is a proposi­
tion which has two sides. There
is one very serious thing, about it,
however, .the fact that the voters
of Ashland and Medford have the
same chance to vote on it as the
people /residing ’ in the oustlde
districts. This, it semes to me, is,
absolutely unfair, if the people
in these outside districts want the
County Unit system, then we have
no business voting it down; if they
don’t want it, we have no busi­
ness putting it over on them;
they are the ones to profit or suf­
fer from it; they are the ones to
pay the bills and get the rekllts.
The Spring Festival
GENERAL
The spring festival is over
dreams of those who had planned aud drilled and
worked for its presentation, and otoce a gain Ashinb d
has Shtowh a community spirit—ft willingness to es­
tablish in the town those-institutions of most worth.
The festival was a thing of exquisite beauty.
From an artistic standpoint it was never surpassed
in this city. It is oiie of those splendid programs
which create a love for the artistic and beautiful. It
was moot worthwhile.
But it did more than entertain. It did more than
please. It showed once again what splendid co-op­
eration and community spirit will do in making for
success. It showed the appreciation of the city of
Ashland for the work being done at the Southern
Oregon Normal school, and appreciation of the fact
that Ashland has before her the possibility of be­
coming one of the educational centers of the state.
Does “ absence make the heArt-gfoW fonder” as
says the old adage.
It may not do exactly that but it at least makes
jx>ssible joy of reunion.
Almntri Dhy for the old grads of the Southern
Oregon Normal school has passed and In the mem­
ories of the many who were present there are de­
lightful thoughts Stored away of the joys of that re­
union—happy thoughts, worthwhile thoughts.
So ofteh the pressing affairs of every-day life
crowd out the memory of school days—the happy as­
sociations, the pranks, the carefree life. Those happy
thoughts become uncertain memories.
But a reunion with old friends brings hack those
dreams, those carefree days, and adds to the store
of happy inridents of a lifetime. Partings are more
worthwhile when the joy of reunion can compensate
for the pain of separation.

ance of its duty in this direction, all the time.
