ONE ENCOURAGING SION
(Editorial in Portland Telegram)
It ia pointed out that the one encour­
aging legislative sign is that 22 mem
bers of the Houae had the nerve to go
down in defeat in the Hpeakership fight,
knowing that they were going down to
defent. Usually member* of the Legis­
lature want to get into the band wagon.
Through long experience they have
found that to be on the band wagon is
the only way to get anything for their
constituents and the “ pork barrel ” , in
its small way, is rated of quite as much
consequence in the Legislature as it ia
in Congress.
*
This is the club that has always dan
gled before the eye* of every member
of the Legislature, and experience ha*
taught him that it was wiser to be a
good dog than to take the chance of
beink crushed under the steam roller.
The fact that 22 members of the House
did not climb into thp band wagon nnd
thnt they faced certain defeat with open
eyes shows the beginning of a reaction
againat the oldtime machine methods
and lends some hope to the belief that
ultimately such reform* will be intro­
duced as to give actual control of I,eg
islatures to the membership rather than
to a coterie.
