This is ahmit twice as many as were submit ted two years ago, when, it will be remembered, voters were heard com plaining that the election ballots were only a little smaller than a horse bian W. S. tl'Ren was In Salem, Monday with arguments In favor of four bills from the People's Power League. The first of these is in favor of extending the direct primary law to the nomina tion of delegates to national conven tions and . to choosing presidential electors. The second argument is one In favor of a measure to provide a plan for election of members to the legislature by proportional representation and to Increase (he people's power In the In itiative, referendum and recall, (wnat ever that meana The third is a bill to provide for partial Inspection and reports on state and county officers and ror puonca tion of these reuort of governmental progress In the Oregon Official Gazette, la mnnthlv naner which, we under stand, Is to be furnished to the voters at tha modest price of 11 a year.) The fourth Is an amendment pro viding that three-fourths of a Jury mav nan on civil easea. Still another argument presented by U Ren was one in ravor or an amena ment to allow the state to build rail rniHi at will, without any restrict Ion on the amount of money to be ex tended in that direction.

I do not believe any real Republi r tn he found fighting the assembly unless.they are misinformed or misguided. The noise against me aumblv emanates mainly from Dem ocrats who see in Republican harmony the dereat of the Democratic party in Oregon." This summary of the political sit uation concerning opposition to the assembly movement in the Republican party was made yesterday afternoon hi- .IihIb M. C. George, chairman of .ffiHenrv and careful management on the part of the train men. Polk County has good cause to be proud of Its mod ern railroad. r..t . tha hie oil well on the White- .ir. farm n. huav scene is presented. The 10-Inch casing will be down to the bottom of the well before the ena oi th. ek and ail water will then be shut off, preparatory to drilling into .i, Mnrf The well has been making a fine showing of both gas ard oil re cently, and the officers or tne com r.onv confidently expect that within a few days oil will be found in commer cial quantities, at which lime the price r.f th tnek will be advanced. From the reports of experts who have ex amined the property, it iooks as though, within a few days, or a very few weeks at most. Polk County win h .hi- hoast the first oil well in Oregon. This will mean millions of dollars to the state, a great portion oi which will find investment in roia County. PLAIN STATEMENT. (State Chairman M. C. George.) 'The assembly means nothing more than a public indorsement, ine m .i in made at a public meet ing where the merits and qualifications of candidates are considered ana ais 1 Therein lies one of the defects of the direct primary-. It doesn't pro vide for public indorsement, ii snuum be open to public as wen as pnva recommendations. It should be, as nnmnr Hushes says, so that a man can get on the ballot with public in dorsements. And no harm can poaiu. ..m tn ir. for the assembly precedes the primary and the people have the final say." A press dispatch from Salem says ih voters of New Mexico and Arizona are greatly interested In Oregon's con stitution and that many Inquiries are ,.uiv.H dailv concerning the amenu- ments adopted In the last few years. If the people of the two terriiorica .ti.,neH are looking for the latest thing In freak constitutions, they have only to cross over the line into uma homa. It might be wise, however, to suggest to them that If their admis sion to the Union depends upon the kind of constitution they adopt, the less they pattern after Oregon and Oklahoma, the better their chance will be. wuiiom L Douglas, the millionaire rnannracturer and Democratic ...niiMnn has issued a printed state ment In which it Is argued that the kih farirf is resDonsible for tne ri in nricra In the United States. The v . i inaa.) Gazette. In its issue of June II, pays Its editorial re- .. t tha nouulus letter and ef fectually disproves every assertion contained therein. Taking the Item of hides alone, from which staple iir. Douglas worked harder than any other one man In America In securing a repeal of the duty, the Gaxette pro ceeds to remove the "hide" from the it sn .hoe man with neatness and dis- uatch. The editorial follows and is well worth reading: rm I. Douglas, the shoe manu facturer. has tamed a printed slip of George. In an Interview, went into the tnr.lc of assemblies in some detail and also took occasion to point out some of the principles the Oregon Kepumi cans are contending for In the effort to produce harmony and maintain party supremacy in the state. He said: Direct Primary Abused. 'The assembly movement is in no way a blow at the direct primary and cannot be so construed by any fair minded, unprejudiced and thoughtful person. We believe that the direct pri mary law in Oregon is abused and it is the purpose of the assembly to meet its shortcomings so far as is practi cable. "Rather than to attack the direct primary law, the purpose of the as sembly is to support and perfect it. The direct primary principle of letting the voters decide Is fully respected and borne out by the assembly plan. Our ideas relative to the law are sim ilar to those advanced by Governor Hughes, of New York. He believes in party, action in- bringing the list of candidates before the direct primary and urges that this list should go on the ballot by virtue of party selection and without going through the process of petitions. Petition requirements will not be embodied in the New York law. Hughes' Idea Identical. It seems logical to say that a man who is indorsed at a public meeting of voters should have preference over a man who has been privately In dorsed. That is Governor Hughes" Idea, too. All who believe in the main tenance of organization in the Repub lican party should participate In the assemblies and all candidates should be given a fair and square deal. No packing should be permitted, no boss tm. n inch ahuses a have been ad mittedly participated In by those who are now opposed to us. The arguments against tne assem hlisa where thev are honestly present ed are based largely on exceptional cases of abuse. The fact is overlooked that the great mass of the people are hnneat and mean well. And there can no longer be any motive for packing an assembly. For the assemoiy ooesn i nominate, it recommends. And so the evil charged against the system is con jured up, and the charge is without merit. ' Better Selection Offered. "By the assembly plan, the people i ARE STILL IN COURT Uvexley Company Secures Rehear ing of Case Against Krebs. The supreme court has granted the application of T. A. Livesley & Co., of Salem, for a rehearing In the case brought by It against the Krebs Hop Company, and which haa for Its object :he restraining of the latter from the collection of a Judgment of 14000, se cured In the lower court. This case first made Its appearance in the courts in 1S0, when the Krebs Hop Company commenced an action to secure a Judgment against Llveslej i Company for the violation of a hop contract The lower court gave the Krebs Company a Judgment for $4000, ind an appeal was taken by Livesley to the supreme court The Judgment of the court was sustained. The next move of Livesley & Com pany waa to commence an action In ihe equity department of the circuit court, in whit it sought to restrain the Krebs Company from collecting its ;udgment The lower court dismissed ;he action, and an appeal was prose cuted to the supreme court The su preme court granted an Injunction pending the litigation, but finally sus tained the lower court in Its dismissal of the case.
