Washington, D. C, Oct. 5. Dem
ocratic laws have been tried and
found wanting.
As the time for Congress to re
assemble approaches, this fact is be
ing gradually disclosed by the admin
istration itself. In nearly every De
partment in Washington, government
officials are preparing amendments to
patch up defects in statutes. These
defects exist because the methods
followed in the enactment nf n,
statutes were slovenly and careless to
me msi aegree.
Another problem farlm the o,i,in
istration, even more serious than that
of defective laws, Is that of the gov
ernment's finances. Thprp ha hmn

propriations. Articles
fore appeared giving a few tvniral py-
amples of how this waste has oc
curred. These articles might be con
tinued indefinitely. Enough has been
said, however, to illustrate the waste
ful, inefficient principle that has vit
iated the entire Democratic regime.
A recapitulation of the later arti
cles, from 16 to 24, is given herewith.

tional descriptions of Democratic
mistakes :
16. Millions of dollars worth pf
the nation's timber supply jeopard

17. The integrity of the law tax
ing "cotton future" sales is in doubt,
and must be tested in court.
IS. As business manairera H,p
Democrats have been failures, their
methods of enacting appropriation
bills causing enormous waste. To il
lustrate: 19. The rural free delivery ser
vice has been shamefully crippled.
20. The construction of good
roads by governmental aid was re
layed a year, and much of tiie appro
priation absolutely lost.
21. Important Surveys of Alaska
mineral resources were prevented for
two successive years.
Prevention of epidemics of tuber
culosis and trachoma among Indian
trmes ana adjacent communities de
layed a year.
23. Civil war veterans died in
want through needless errors in spe
cial pension laws.
24. Over ten million dollars lost
in one appropriation bill alone
through needless delay in its enact
ment; enough lost in four years of

Community Conferences to be Tried
in Oregon,
A program of "community rnnfor.
ences" is offered to the state this year
by the extension division of tllP ft r u r 1a
University at Eugene. The commun
ity conferences are a development
from the system of filling single lec
ture calls.
City planning Is one of specimen
topic for a community confWpnra
The state University has a school of
arcnitecture, at the head of which is
fcllis F. Lawrence, who Is notable In
ciy planning work. Any Oregon city
that desires to map out a develop
ment plan so that as the years go on
it will be a healthier, prettier anil
happier city in which to live is enti
tled to the services of anyone on the
State University faculty who ran
speak with authority upon citv Dlan-
ning.
A city's educational system is an
other specimen topic for a commun
ity conference. The University school
of education is able to make limited
number of school surveys this year
showing to each surveyed town where
Its scnools are strong and where de
fectlve. An elaborate survey of this
type was made last year for Ashland.
Or. Community conferences on the
schools are suggested.
School of commerce professors are
available for conferences unon citv
administration.
The extension division believes
community conferences will nroduce
much more thorough results at much
less expense than the old system of
sending out single faculty members
for single appearances, many of
which lectures were requested bv the
promoters for cntertuiiiments rather
tnan educational or community ad
vance purposes.
