A CONTEST of more than passing note is being waged
in California by the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league, with Hiram Johnson as gubernatorial candidate,
against the corporation bi-partisan political machine, cap
tained by that distinguished son of .Tackson county, Wil
liam E. llerrin. Hitherto spasmodic efforts have been
made to defeat the machine, but little has been accom
plished. What the people have been able to do, the courts,
controlled by the machine, have promptly undone.
Eor many veal's this plunderbund has held all Califor
nia in the hollow of its hand. It has ever stood for special
interests against public welfare. By control of courts,
legislatures, city, county and state governments, it has
looted the people out of untold millions. By control of
the dominant political party, and frequently by control
of the opposition, it has perpetuated its dynasty of loot.
Hiram Johnson seems to be a real enemy of the ma
chine, a true insurgent against graft and corruption, and
is making a vigorous fight against the old regime. Nat
urally, he finds every old line politician in California
against him and many newspapers. Such reliable party
organs as the Los Angeles Times and the ban irranciseo us to bmiiy damage uia automobile
Chronicle and innumerable other press beneficiaries of ,wn,1 nttompiiK to croso n railroad
the System, are m full hue and cry. But if Johnson wins
the nomination, Herrin's tactics will be to nominate the
democrat, and throw the full strength of the republican

men1 own niacnmej ruie mar, politicians ever seei. xnat tll0 worlc ln
and graft. They care nothing for party, except as a means
to an end.
California's condition, absolutely controlled by corpo
rations which furnish the campaign funds for both parties,
in the throttle grasp of a bi-partisan political organization
which uses the masques of party names to fool the people
and perpetuate itgelf, is the plight of many another state
and is a warning to the people of Oregon of what their
condition will become, if the wishes of the politician is
heeded, and the voice of the Oregonian is listened to.
It is impossible under present conditions, with the di
rect primarv, Statement One and the initiative and refer
endum, for the Portland corporation financed machine to
rule Oregon, hence the determined reactionary effort to
undo all that direct legislation has done, rob the people of
their power and restore it to the politicians.
The attack made upon Statement One is only the en
tering wedge for the attack upon all direct legislative
measures. Every enemy of Statement One, which is a
vital part of the direct primary law, is at heart an enemy
of the direct primary law, and would abolish it and restore
to power the bosses, such as rule California.
Because the Oregon politician is out of a .job, Oregon
is libeled as the "fool of the family." Because Oregon
citizens have a voice in electing a United States senator,
she is called a "'freak state." Because she has made it
impossible for a coloration to rule, as in California, no
end of abuse and contumely are heaped upon her by the
lick-spittle corporation press. A desperate effort is being
made by the Tories to restore themselves to jiower, but
there is little likelihood that the people will favor the
reactionary program.
What Oregon has accomplished, the restoration of the
governing power to the people, other states, including Cal
ifornia, are striving to accomplish, and by the same means.
The battle for good government against special privilege
is a never-ending one, and unless each citizen does his
share, and vigilantly protects the rights already acquired,

FOR A CITY BEAUTIFUL.
IT IS to be hoped tbat the next time charter amendments
are submitted to the people, that there will be one
authorizing the council to enforce a program of tree plant
ing along curbs of residence streets, if such an amendment
is necessary.
Surely some way ought to be provided to force those
who have little public spirit to beautify their own local
ities. Those who refuse are very short-sighted, for beauti
fication of the street improves the appearance and en
hances the value of the property by making it more attrac
tive. The ladies of the Greater Medford club deserve great
praise for efforts last winter to beautify the streets, but
they encountered so much lethargy that unless some law is
passed making tree planting compulsory, Medford will
not become iamous lor its shaded avenues.
Medford has "got off on the right foot" as regards
civic improvements. She must follow the start up by
making the city the most attractive and beautiful of any
in the state, and this can be done so cheaply and so easily
