Mills, of Portland, tiiat the forthcoming legislature shall enact modifications of tho Oregon direct primary law, subject to referendum of tho voters. Informal proposals heretofore mado for such an effort have been rather vocitcrously cried ciown. There will be objection in the present instance. How extensive or how representative that objection will be remains to be developed. But .tho referendum proposal would seem to remove its most serious ground. If the measure is enacted and if tho pcoplo do not like the plan they can vote it down. , Among people who have observed and studied the I workings of tho direct primary law there is unanimous recognition of tho fact that .it has defects. It is a fact I that under this law candidates are sometimes nominated I for office who represent a minority choice only. It is a i fact that under the law self-seekers find their oppor ' tunity. It is a fact that direct primary nominations sometimes give us cheap and poorly qualified men as officials. It is a fact that officials nominated under I the direct primary do not find it so important after they are in office to carry on for principles or measures as to seek perpetuation and extension ot personal pop ularity against tho time of the next primary by dema gogic and class appeal. These defects are by no means as serious as the I defects of the old system of nomination by party con vention, whereunder only inch candidates were nomi- nalod as would agree in advance to do tho things de creed by the party boss who controlled. tho votes of the ! delegates. Tiiat system did not operate in the public 'interest, but in its very nature was controllable, and controlled by special interests. It; was vicious, -find I wrong and thero will not bo return to it. Tho voters will never again submit to a system whereunder a party boss sitting at Portland or clsewhero will bo tho most powerful man in Oregon. And it is fair to assume that scarcely anybody seeks or desircB tho restoration of such a condition. In previous discussions of proposals for modifica tion of the direct primary, objectors have declared that if and when the law was amended its friends and not its enemies should attend to tho matter. In broaching his present plan Mr. Mills declares he is its friend, and cites in substantiation the fact that ho was president of the direct primary league, which gavo to Oregon the existing law. His decision to draft and propose to the legislature corrective amendments was reached fol lowing many requests mado upon him. In preparation lie has studied primary laws of many states and con sulted with many students of election laws. What Mr. Mills proposes now, it is oxplninod, is to leavo the present primary law as it is, with the exception of providing that a candidato must receivo not less than 40 per cent of the party vote cast to be nominated, failing which the nomination, will fall to a post-primary convention. Holding of those conventions by tho stato and by. counties is provided for in the proposed supple mentary nmendment. The stato convention would con sist of ubout COO delegates, not moro than 20 per cent of whom would coino from any one county. A majority of tho chosen delegates must bo present to mako any convention legal and nominations would bo by majority voto of tho delegates present. Precinct delegates to the county conventions would bo elected at May pri maries and countv conventions would bo hold tho second Tuesday in July. County conventions would fill places on county tickets caused by failure of any candidato to receive 40 per cent or moro of the votes, and elect dele gates to the state convention, which would bo held the second Friday following tho stato convention, in addition J ' t. . i 1A ! I I lionet uuc to i in i me oi canuiuaics 10 receive less man 40 per cent of tho party vote cast, would adopt a plat form upon which party nominees would bo expected to stand. Summarized, the Mills plan would leavo with the voters the direct nomination of candidates for office in the main, but would resort to supplementary represen tative action to fill places on tlio tickets concerning which there might reasonably appear doubt as to the popular will, as evidenced by failure of any candidate to obtain 40 per cent or moro of his parly voto cast. It would delegate the power of platform making, but under tho provisions for choosing delegates, at. least of those to tho county conventions, it would appear that those conventions would be thoroughly representative. Tho stato convention, composed of delegates chosen by -the county conventions, would bo a degree farther re moved from the condition of direct representation. As to tho hope that all nominees will subscribe to tho plat form declarations, one wonders a little how a nominee of tho primary can know in advance that he is going to approve tho party plat form" in full and what would happen to his conscience if 'lie didn't. In practice, liow ever,it is quite likely that nearly every nominee would dicover"tho post-primary platform to be wholly accept able. Voters in this slate are pretty jealous of the Ore gon system. In the minds of some there will be suspicion of tho Mills plan, regardless of the integrity of its pro visions or intent. Nevertheless, to the doubters the referendum provision may appear as n saving grace. Thero may not bo great objection to letting the voters decide whether they want the amendment or not. COMMENT OF Another Commission (Cooi Bay Harbor) I The Oregon teachers it Portland who have recommended a slate su pervision of school bonks nd free . use ol tens ire jockeying the state Telephone 1200 JANUARY 5. countv conventions. The to filling vacancies on the 1 1 1 1 1 it THE PRESS Into the posiiiou of needing another commission enlsrged at least, and an expensive one at that. A school bunk commission would offer one of the best avenues for graft. The Hate Is cominiision rlddru, as Senator Charles Hull said at the lait session of the legialutur?, or the pre vious one, yet hi hope to eliiniusto all but a few was daubed. Cooiuiii lous safely ensconsed in office are not congenial when one talks of dis continuing them and saving the tax payers great suuis. Moat people like a political job and there are inore such in Oregon to the square yard than auywhere else, not excepting Ituasia. Some day the people of the state will rise up in indignation and vote the whole lot of commissions out. of Dullness. They will have to perforin the amputation from the public crib, for the habit has grown so strong that legialatora are quite helpless in even curbing it, let alone abolishing it. Jleforc the teachers went to Port land it was published probably as propaganda to induce them to ratify a free text book plan for the state, that books were about to be ad vanced in price, at least 23 per cent. That furnished an impulse to evade the increase for parents who already are in many cases unable to proper ly equip their children with books, and pass the buck to the atate, where a furore would not be created by the proposed greed of the book trust. A Modest Editor (Salem .Capital Journal) Newspapers all over the country are in receipt of marked copies of the Louisville, Kentucky, Post, con veying, the Important information that James B. Brown, president of the publishing company, and principal owner, has promoted himself to the position of editor and publisher of both the Louisville Herald and the Post, its evening issue. Mr. Brown prints a two-column cut of himself on the first psgo and In a two-column headed story de scribes himself as the "state's fore most citizen," with the interesting information thst "he is in many ways the outstanding citizen' ot Kentucky of this generation." Besides such modesty as this even the shrinking violet would blush. While many newspspermen have a secret admiration of their own ability, few have the nerve to print aelf-lau-datory estimates in their own papers. They have to print so much guff and bunk about others that self-respecting editors bsr mention of themselves n their own columns. In justice to the profession, it should be stated, however, that the new editor of the Herald and Tost who ia so enamoured of himself, is not a newspsperman but a banker, and therefore knows no better. To bim, a newspaper is just a commercial enterprise like a peanut stand, run to make money and incidentally to influ ence public opinion in the way bank ers think it should go. A Good Showing (Salem Statesman) Eight sons and daughters of Ore gon newspspef men and a Washing ton newspaper man a daughter are taking the journalistic course in the university at Eugene. This is a great testimony to the increased respecta bility and financinl rewards that come from the newspaper business. It used to be that a man in the newspaper business would want his children to do anything else rather than follow in his footsteps. The pro fession was so poorly paid that there was no inducement for a man to want his children to follow it. The newspaper business has arriv ed, bik) despite the fact tbut it 1b continually fighting to keep from be ing choked to death by the politicians, it manages to innke progress every year.

That the British empire means to rule tho air, with the world s best air fleet, as it has hitherto ruled the old-fashioned oceans, is perfectly clear and much to the credit of Brit ish statesmanship. Tho British are building giant diri gibles, for air mail service from Kng laud to India, in peace; big enough to carry troops for fighting, with a capa city of fivo million cubic feet of gas. And Kngland goes ahead with this program in spite of the fact that the highly dangerous and deddly hydrogen gus must be used.

"Yes Itabs, 1 will." he promised patting my baud, "and you'll be sure and have the nurse call me in the night if Jon or the boy should wnnt tne," he added proudly. "Are you glad it's a boy, Kent?"
