Useless and unlnforced laws are
tho'b'ano of modern administration.
Every city, every state, and tho
nation, has them. Tholr existence
is usually cither duo to carelessness
on tho part of legislators or to tho
fact that unnecessary lows aro shuf
fled through at tho Instnce of some
faction or other, and then later they
aro found to bo cither unwise or uu
nppllcablo. Also, many laws simply
outgrow their usefulness n changed
condition causes thorn to bo no
longer efficient or desirable.

day's election a numner or unuccvu

without adding, through Initiative

crop. Before adding more let us
tlrst do away with many that aro now

mechanism of state, accomplishing
nothing, other than to add to admin
istrative and legal complications, and
notably lowering popular respect for
wise and- useful laws because they
exist side by side with tho latter.
unenforced and ridiculed.
A striking example of tho sltu-
.nn i fnun.1 In Washington. That
state has a law forbidding tho salo
of cigarettes. Today, In any tobacco
storo In Seattle, you oan buy cigar
ettes. There Is no slightest pretense
of secrecy, the outlawed product Is
sold as freely and openly as cabbages
o, khoes. The law was a ridiculous
oner It could novcr be enforced as
was demonstrated and It should
never havo been Inacted. That It

Waahlngtonlaas aro violating It dally,
makes not only that particular law,
hute hi a measure, all Ibwb and legal
machinery, a Joke, and a vicious Joke
at that.

IJACK TO THE KOII.
The recently organized Hebrew
Agricultural Association of Oregon is
doing excellent work in' induolng
members of their faith, particularly
headB of families to fllo on govern
ment lands in Central and Eastorn
Oregon.
About thirty heads of families have
already filed on lands in the Hond
and tLakevlew districts and a number
of others are ready to do so In the
early spring. All these homestead
ers are self sustaining and havu suf
ficient money to ktep thorn going
while on the land.
Tho "Hack to (he Boll" movement
Is spreading among the JewUh people
all over 'the country. Over B000 of
thgm are now earning their liveli
hood In the New England states by
tllU(0tho soil and many abandoned
farms have again become fruitful
iinder-'thelr skillful and patient work.
One of the principal supporters of
this movement Is lion Bolting, tho
iiromlneut Portland merchant, who Is
very much Interested in tho upbuild
ing of the sparsely settled sections of
Oregon particularly Central and
Eastern Oregon, with desirable home
steaders and homefccckers. A num
berof other prominent men nro back

expected from this organization In

of sottlera filing on Oregon lands.

Tho Uulletln Is cited as an exception
of this general neglect, In tho follow

In tho recent publication by Tho
Rend Uulletln of a series of articles
written by an authority on agri
culture, wo have a rather signifi
cant suggestion of what may bo

scrlbers. The fact to be particu
larly noted In this connection, how
over, Is that these articles nro be
ing prepared especially for this
community, and thus will be based
upon an actual knowledge of Its
needs.
Perhaps tho most notable feature
of tho Just-completed presidential
campaign Is the fact that tor tho first
tlmo In the history of similar politi
cal eruptions, there has been no
business Hurry and no appreciable
economic disturbance. Tho country
has gone on about Its business un

All lints of enterprises throughout
the United States art nourishing.
Tho customary '"hard times" howl of
tho presidential year has boon

before us and that they further re
alizo that whatever their icrsonaI
preferences, so far as candidates arc

vidual benefits or disadvantages that
may result to tholr Investments
through tho election of ono or an
other candidate, the fact remains
that fundamentally business Is going
to progress Just about as sntlsfac
torlly under one presidential reglmo

drawn a big measure of satisfaction

property owner and wage earner

that which Is promising.

something or other about "tho timber

something of an admission. For not
so long ngo the prom of our sister

bald assertion that there wnsu't a
