VintAds ^W ant A oî A LEGISLATIVE INDEPENDENCE There is something extremely amusing about the political sit-1 nation in Oregon at the present time especially when viewed in • the light of the historical .background of the American people. | The fathers of our country spent weeks of patient effort and many of the best minds of the times were puzzled to devise a form of government that would give sufficient governing power to alt, branches of government without allowing the head of any one de-1 partment to assume dictatorial powers. Most of them were rather proud of our system of checks and balances as it has been known for the last one hundred and forty . years. The executive is in theory held in check by the legislative branch while the judicial part of the government holds both to the I written law which is made by legislators as the representatives of the people themselves. School children a-e taught to marvel at, the wisdom which formed this system. f 7 I In Oregon last fall we elected a governor who had some defin ite ideas about several phases of state government. He received | a large majority of the votes cast and since that time the legisla tive branch of state government has followed dutifully in his foot, steps listening with bated breath to hear his wishes. It may be all for the beat and the state may prosper greatly under his rule I only time will tell that-but the point we are interested in at the present writing is how far such actions are from the original de-, sign of the founders of this nation. Those old fathers of the United States who fought so success fully against one oppressor were very fearful of dictators and f'ed to fashion a form of government that would Jmake them impos I Bible If they could have viewed the day in the Oregon legislature when the representatives stood up and apologized for their votes, on the ground of desire to agree with the governor our nationa fathers’ faith in the government they founded would have suf- fered a severe shock.
