The legislature is embroiled with Governor Pierce. The house organi zation is embroiled with tho joint ways and menns com mittee. The appropriations necessary to tho carrying of current state activities have not been made. Revenues to meet necessary appropriations nrc insufficient. The governor says he will not permit tho levying of an ad ditional tax on tangible property to meet them, and de mands that provision bo made through special taxes. Tho ways and moans committee shows inclination to coin ply with tho governor's demands. Tho houso organiza tion and many leaders in both branches refuse. Tho 40 days prescribed by tho constitution for a leg islative session have expired. The legislature is per forming overtime service. Its pay has stopped. K very body is under stress of anger or resentment or anxiety to get through. Members who are interested in special measures of their own see danger that tho legislature will never get to consideration of them. They are ready to trade and barter; to give support to other measures in exchange for assurance of consideration and support for their own. Disposition of measures under such con ditions is not likely to bo determined 'on their merits. The log-rolling process is in its full flower. In such a situation almost anything can happen, and from what does happen under such conditions tho public usually gets little better than tho short end. Tho governor blames the legislature for tho snarl and tho legislature blames the governor. There is blame to be placed on both sides. Neither has striven so hard for tho public weal as for having its own way. There is yet time for the governor and the legis lature to get together and adjust necessary things from the standpoint of the public interest. There will be time enough afterwards for recriminations as to who brought on tho crisis. What tho governor and the legislature owe to tho people now is to clear up the crisis. An Editor's History of Oregon. THE written works of an editor to not live unless they are given expression through channels other than his newspaper columns. The editor may be n (rue leader of tho thought of his generation; his work may bo vastly valunhlo and interesting for its economic, historical and ethical teachings and its literary excellence, and the principles which ho inculcates through it inny become permanently established within the zone of his influence by aid of his efforts, but his editorials will not be read or quoted or remembered by succeeding generations, for tho liewspnper from day to day is an evanescent thing. llnrvcy AW Keott, late editor of The Oregoniim, has boon tho outstanding editor of Oregon's journalistic history up to now. lie was a man of towering intellect, a profound thinker nnd n brilliant scholar. For more than 40 years ho wrote for The Oiegonian and directed its editorial policy. Ho brought to his work, besides the qualifications already named, a tireless industry. The brilliancy of his writings was roeognizod alike by those who agreed with him and thoso who differed from him. His completo command of basic background-facts con cerning every subject that ho discussed was the admira tion of all who read his writings. Mr. Scott's interest was bound up in tho newspaper that ho edited, nnd ho sought no published avenues of expression outsido of its columns. Ono of the subjects on which ho wrote host nnd with gventest authority was Oregon history. Himself a member of a pioneer family who had como to Oregon from Illinois in 1852, he had neon that history in tho making and had part in it. Much of what ho wroto on tho subject was from personal knowledge of his own. Tho rest was from first hand information and from original delving in the records. Within tho period of his editorship he wrote and pub lished in Tho Oregonian articles which in their mass entirety enrried every essential event and step and every pertinent pltnso of tho beginnings, tho rise, the growth and tho development of the Oregon country. That this vastly valuable- and humanly written rec ord did not meet the fato of future obscurity, for the reasons act out in tho beginning of this nrtiele, is due to the enterprise, ability and devoted effort over a period of years of a son of tho late editor, Leslie M. Kcott. Tho younger Scott has taken from the newspaper files in which his father's work appeared thoso editor ials. He has cross-indexed, nnnotated and appendixed them and has so arranged their sequenco that they form a consecutivo compilation. Ho has supplemented them with soino few articles from addresses prepared and giv en by tho elder Scott, nnd with some valuable contem poraneous articles of other origins. Tho result is an au thoritative nnd complete work which has been published in six volumes, entitled "History of tho Oregon Coun try," nnd which is, in tho view of qualified critics who have scanned the work, in many respects the most valu able contribution yet mndo to tho historical literature of Oregon. In tho work preparatory to compilation Leslie M. Scott recovered, scanned nnd selected from more than 30,000 articles of Harvey W. Scott's authorship. This statement of fact gives a glimpse of tho magnitude of tho task which he has performed. That ho was actuated by no purpose of financial gain (tho edition of the work is limited to 500 copies) but sought only to perpetuate his father's lifowork and 1o mnko a contribution of vnluo to Oregon literature, adds to the appreciation that pubic opinion will accord his effort. A majority in tho legislature recognizes the fal lacy of any attempt to inculcate religion by compulsion. Garland 'b bill to enforce the reading of the Bible in the schools has gone the way of La Follett's bill to compel the posting of the Lord's prayer in industrial plants. Both measures were killed. in presenting a solid front against the enactment uf measures taxing oleo margarine and other cotiou-seed oil products. "If they boycott us, we might re taliate by boycotting them," sug gest Governor Walker of Georgia. Soiuo such realiatory measures would undoubtedly follow passage of legisla tion in northern states designed to aid northern farmers by discriminating against southern farmers, which would interfere with the cordial re-a-tions existing between the states by forcing economical hardships on the southern states. If the protective aud discriminatory tariff idea spreads among the various states, where will it end? The south may put a reprisal tax upon our prunes, apples, cherries, canned goods, lumber, paper and other pro ducts, which would seriously cripple our markets and the entire situation create sectional aminos. ly menacing the solidarity of the nation. This paternalistic theory of appeal ing to the state to create class pros perity by destroying the prosperity of other producers, at publ:" ex pense, may be good local politics but it is mighty poor economics. The Seaside Normal (Astoria Budget) The stute legislature, recognizing the need of more normal schools in the stute for the prepurutiou of pub lic school teachers, has voted to plueo upon the ballot ut the next election a bill to provide for a- normal achool at Seaside. As a site for a normal school, Sea side bus advantages which cannot he overlooked. Not the least of these is the bousing facilities at nominal costs during the school period, owing to the large number of summer homea which are vacant and for rent during uine months of the year. The public schools of Seuside are large enough to serve as a good la boratory for the- uormal school. The city of Seaside offers the s'uto n free site for its building, an inducement not to be disregarded in this day of high taxes and insufficient public funds. It will not be an easy matter, how ever, to couvinco the voters of the state of the justification for further normal schools and a thoroughly or ganized campaign will be necessary to secure an endorsement at tho polls. .

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur agrees with Admiral Moffett but Sec retary of War Weeks disagrees with tieus. Patrick and Mitchell. Mitchell really is the most whole souled aviation man in Washington. Patrick and Muffctt are just as en thusiastic but Moffct holds the air services to be no more than army ami navy arms and Patrick considers tin combined services a mil.tary arm in a general way. -Mitchell looks on air power as en tirely an independent proposition. which he does by filing a yellow own ership certificate upon which the i debtor corporation is not required lo ; withhold the 2 per cent. If, however, ; tbe owner is one who is subject to the payment of income tax lie is re quired to file a white ownership cer tificate upon which the company must withhold, and pay to the gov ernment, II per cent of the uuiouut thereof. Ownership certificates are remired only in en so uf bonds con taining tho "tax-free covenant" clause. I 25 Years Ago m. U"rom Tue Guard uf b'eb. -0, llXMiJ P. J.

Secretaries Weeks and Wilbur take the sum, position that the tendency of the army and navy is to develop ail' forces of distinctive character, radi cally different in organisation, meth ods, plun of operations and machine types. The two secretaries argue thus: The army and navy have separate uii-ssiuns. 'life armv fights on hind and the navy on the water.

HOWELL 'T'lIE American I'ederstioo of Labor anoouuecs that it will continue tbe carapaifu for Uio cliild labor amend ment, even though it is temporarily defeated. An amendment is perman ently peeling until passed, ao time is always on the side of tbe proponents. Theoretically, this privilege of ratifi cation continues forever. There are two amendments legally pending for ratificatiou now, one pro viding Ibat congress .halt not have more than one member for each 50, 000 population, nnd tbe other than a i increase in congressional salaries shall not take effect until an election has intervened. ijinco tbe first would now authorize a congress of 2-00 members, it is useless. Tbe other is doubtless super fluous, but it is unobjectionabl'. These amendments were submitted in 1700, and, never having been ratified, are still pending. Let us hope that tli child labor amendment will not bava to wait so long. MR. GARNER BETTER WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.
