A DUTY TO OREGON.
No well informed person supposes for a moment that the
full rental value land tax amendment that will be on the Oregon
ballot tliis fall will be approved by the voters. Its chief
purpose is to take the land of Oregon away from those who
own it now and give it others, and the people of this state have
no desire to Mexicanize themselves in this way. The amend
ment will be defeated, of course.
But it is not enough merely to defeat it. In order to pre
serve the good name of Oregon and assure better business con
ditions and greater development in the future it must be snowed
under so deeply as to leave no doubt of the attitude of the people
of this state on such freak measures. Prospective investors
and homeseekers must be assured that they can come to Oregon
without danger of having their investments confiscated.
Those of us who live here know that there is no prospect of
confiscatory legisaltion like this being enacted. There have
been really dangerous measures on the ballot at every election
since the Oregon System was adopted and they have been
uniformly swamped by the voters. But people living elsewhere
among them prospective investors in Oregon do not know this.
They seegrab schemes on the ballot and jump to the conclusion
that it is unsafe to invest money in Oregon.
This is unfortunate, but under our system of government
there is no way to prevent the appearance of wild schemes on
the ballot vear after year. All that can be done is to snow them
under so deeply as to convince the rest of the world that sanitv
and common sense rule in Oregon and that investments here
are as safe as anywhere else.

Salem, Ore., Sep. 22. The Board o(
Regents of the Oregon Normal School
filed its final draft of a survey made
of the Normal School condition to the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction on Thursday. That the State
of Oregon is sadly in need of an addi
tional Normal School as is provided
by the initiative measure creating such
a BCbool at Pendleton is recognized by
the Board of Regents In their final re
port made after an exhaustive survey
of the condition of Rie one present
school at Monmouth. They recognize
too, in their report, that any new Nor
mal School should be located in a
town having public schools large
enough to provide ample teacher train
ing practice for the (teacher) students
of the Normal.
"It la appaent to anyone who has
studied the situation that there is need
of additional Normal School facilities
In Oregon; the Monmouth School alone
cannot care for the number of students
who desire to be or should be enrolled
in Normal School within the next two
or three years, and It will be necessary
to send Oregon students to Washing
ton and California for their training."

FIRM POLICY PREVENTS WAR,
War is not necessary in order to maintain American rights,
although the Democratic spelbinders who are now going about
the country telling the people that "Wilson kept us out of war"
would have them think so.
The war is not yet over, and the worst thing that could
happen to us, from the standpoint of peace, would be to have
"our more years of the present Democratic administration, con
trolled by the present uncertain policies.
Four years ago the flag of the United States was honoied
and respected in every nation that borders on the Seven Seas
When our fleet sailed around the world it was hot as big as
some, but it ranked third in point of guns and Al in the mat
ter of markmanship, which after all is the main thing in a
naval battle. It commanded respect everywhere and so did
American diplomacy.
If you want to know how it stands now, do not take Jose
phus Daniels' word for it, but read the papers from England,
France, Germany and more esepcially from Canada and Aus
tralia.
The United States is cordially hated by the people of all
these countries because we have not made common cause with
them against 44 German militarism." All the aid we have given
them in the way of money and munitions docs not seem to count
in the last analysis.
The blood of fathers and husbands and brothers in distant
Australia is declared to be on the head of the Americans, who
might have put an end to the war, it is said, if they had only
"come in at the start."
International hatred breeds war. Our policies have es
tranged us from the central powers and have made us no friends
with the allies. It is time to "swap horses" when the one you
ire riding gives out and one tried and true is at hand. Portland
Telegram.
The president himself has tried to appropriate for his own
advantage the sentiment of "America first." The Democrats
have tried to make his support an act of piety by adopting
Thank God for Wilson" as a slogan. Mr. Hughes with rare
courage, frankness and penetration, is exposing the flimsy foun
dation for the claims of Wilsonian infallibility. He is laying
bare a record of extravagance, partisianship, sectionalism, in
competence, wrongheadness, vaccillation and insincerty which
destroys the attempt to make a joss out of the president. The
Democrats must come out of their ecstatic trance and defend
their stewardship. The President is to be put on the stump,
We are to hear something beside Delphic prose peoms. St,
Louis Globe Democrat.
Mr. Wilson now virtually admits that all his own ideas were
wrong four years ago. He hag changed his mind on every pub
lic question. On some of them he has changed twice or even
three times. Even if his friends could satisfy the public at this
time he is exactly right, what assurance could be given that he
would be right a year hence t
Mr. Wilson refused to take the stump because "No Presi
dent from Washington down has ever appeared as a campaign
orator." In the meantime, Secretary Tumulty is busily ar
ranging speaking dates for the president,
