(ATHENA. OREGON, OCT. 13 1922
The Peoples Power League will
have a "state government reorgani
zation and occupational representa
tion" amendment on the Oregon in
itiative ballot in 1924. Sounds for
midable if not promising. But well
have the same kind of people and
they'll elect the same kind of leg
islators, even though they'll assem
ble in one house instead of two; and
well have the same kind of state
officials, even though state govern
ment is "reorganized." It's our
blessed privilege and practice to be
rate our solons and other office
holders, but they assay always just
as high as their constituents. A
stream may not rise above its
source and Oregon government under
any kind of system is apt to be no
better nor worse than the standard
of its citizenship indicates. Let's
have . no more hifalutin' reform
measures until we get used to those
we possess.
Lady Mount Batten, England's
richest heiress and wife of the young
peer who with her is touring Ameri
ca, says with determination that he
hasn't had a chance to meet any
American flappers and she'll see
that he doesn't We'll bet that with
equal determination scores of Amer
ican flappers will now make up
their minds to meet Lord Mount
Batten,
The eager manner in which the
government's half-billion dollar bond
issue was snapped up by the big
eastern banks cannot be considered
an entirely encouraging feature of
this country's economic status. It
shows that milions of idle money
awaits Investment but in tax-free
securities and not in industry.
The Oregonian will run a series
of articles by Dr. A. Conan Doyle
on "Our American Adventure." And
herein the famous spiritualist will
have the advantage of a good medium.
It may cheer Uncle Sam to learn
that he has regained a measure of
our respect, how that he has retired
from the boot-legging business on
the high seas.
Princeton gets the skull of a giant
tltanothere. The news leaves us un
moved, unless there's some way of
comparing it with the skull of a
congressman who thinks - the new
tariff will benefit the , American
farmer.
"Reading maketh a full man," and
if devoted to the official pamphlet
before election day will also make
a better informed and more compe
tent voter.
The St Paul Crescent remarks that
"what this country needs isn't thet
we get more taxes from the people,
but that the people get more from
the taxes.".
However natural the conclusion
may be, it isn't because Lloyd
George came from Wales that the
wails are coming from England.
Gotham brags of its peach trees
abloom in October. Well, what of
it? Right here in October, perfect
peaches are walking the streets.
Ocean-goers on Uncle Sam's
boats will, now have, to satisfy
themselves with a eye-full of. the
"big drink" beneath the keel.
The present sultan will soon quit
reigning in Turkey, but not because
its soil has been drenched with the
blood of "Christian dogs."
The American people need not ex
pect to be liberated from the chains
of high taxation without paying the
price of eternal vigilance.
The Portland fair is now up to the
voters, and when 1927 rolls around
the voters of Eastern Oregon will be
down to the fair.
Glad Voliva has prophesied an
other world war, since this makes it
pretty certain we'll never have one,
Siki is coming to America. He's
apt to be a long time coming to in
America if he mixes with Dempsey.
The striking worklngman seldom

- It cannot be said that "The Sick

It may be because the Turk seeks

The Christian powers have discov

The Near Eastern situation never
