Tho candidate, for governor who propose to pttrjso the public payrolls of their numerous tmentera will be Irreslptlble. The candidate for governor who proposes to cut off superfluous board ami commissions, and to oppose all public appropriations therefor, cannot bo beaten. ,' Tho candidate for governor who offer as n cardinal plank In bis plat form an Initiative amendment to tho stale constitution, giving the gover nor the power of oto over single Items In nn appropriation bill, will have struck the keynote of practical and effectlxe reform. The candidate for governor who stands up for public retrenchment, anil shows how It may be accomplished, and how It will he accomplished, If ho shall bo elected, will l)e Oregon's next sovornor. This hns boon Governor West's program. Yet the Ore gonian fought every effort of the governor to economize, reduce taxation, purge the payrolls, abolish boards, save the state school lands and backed up the legislature in its many measures to increase taxation and thwart the gov ernor. On February 2f, 191.1, Governor "West sent the follow ing veto message to the legislature: I return herewith House Hill No. 71 Items and a total appropriation of 1.2ai,l0.J0. Most of tho Items are meritorious an.l the appropriation necessary for the proper conduct of our state government. There are other Items and amounts, however, of questionable merit which have been Included In this bill and undoubtedly for the purpose of Insuring their passage. Tho practlco of presenting blanket appropriation bills Is wrong In principle because It deprives the executive of his constitutional right to veto unless he should take It upon himself, as I havo done In this Instance, lo veto the bill as a whole and thus delay needed appropriations. Further, the measure carries an emergency clauso which deprives the people of thla state of their constitutional right to Invoke tho referendum upon any part thereof. W Hood business and tho best Interests of the. taxpayer of this state de mand that such appropriations as are covered by this bill be classltled and presented In smaller nnlts. I know of no gronter service jou can render to your .state than that of presenting the.e appropriations In the manner here suggested nml thereby set an example for ruturo legislators. I. therefore, am returning House Hill No. CSS with my disapproval, for further consideration, leaving It to already over-burdened taxpayers of this, state or to force from their pockets, by doubtful legislative methods, questionable, unjust and excesshc charges. Yet the Oregonian aided the legislature pass these bills over the veto and approved the many slaps and discour tesies showered upon the governor. Why did the Oregon- iiii i i i ) it i inn acnveiv netn increase power to nullify the governor's efforts at reform'? AVhv does the Oregonian, even totlav, oppose the pro gram of economy West is striving to inaugurate 1 Why does it misrepresent the curtailment of expenditures in the game department as the creation of a "political machine l" AVhy does it support the worse than useless desert land board in its supine policy of doing nothing and oppose A Vest's program of action and reform? Why does it belittle West's plan of a state committee to draft an initiative bill removing the political driftwood lodged about the capital? Because the Oregonian's pinhead policy of playing pea nut politics does not permit the practice of sincerity or honesty. If it were otherwise, it would have supported the governor in the really meritorious parts of his program, even though it discarded the emotional and grandstanding methods of accomplishment. But tho really little big city paper is entirely too small to judge persons or events upon their merits and practices a partisanship belonging to the dark ages of journalism long since discarded by progres sive papers. The only candidate now before the people whose plat form contains all the demands made by the Oregonian editorial above quoted, is Dr. 0. J. Smith. Tf the Oregon ian was sincere, it would support Dr. Smith but it isn't. It can't be. It is opposing him and attacking him which should cheer the doctor's heart for the Oregon ian's support means defeat, and its kiss, political death. Fur Bearers of Xext to the pelt of the silver fox of Labrador and ermine, the snowy fur whoo costliness hns made it the badge of royalty and riches, the chinchilla of South America carries in its back nbout the most expen sive material used in Jiishionnble feminine attire. High up on the eastern slope of the Andes in sections of Peru, Bo livia and Chile the chinchilla has its habitut. Living at no elevation of from 8000 to 12,000 feet nbove the level of the sen, its chilly home is responsible for its thick, warm cont and also largely for the exorbitant price it brings. It is hard to gel and not plentiful therefore it i wanted. "It is n hopping rodent mammal," writes W. A.

This bill carries yon to act for tho best Interests of tho la.xauou nv noiiiir an in us South America the similarity is even more notice able. Ordinarily the body of the miimnl is nbout ten inches in length, exclusive of tho tail; it is colored with n gray fur, soft nud silky, which on the sides is nbout uu inch long. The animals burrow in the ground and live together in vitiligos like our prairie dogs. The natives of the Audenn regions hunt them with trained dogs or with grisous. What is a grison? The South Amer ican cousin to our weasel, and jii"t about as cunning, nnd he easily slips into the rocky crevices where the chinchilla seeks to hide and captures it. Since the fur of tho chinchilla was first introduced into Kuropo during the earlier pait of tho 10th century, the price of the skins has soared until a lady s muff and col lar of only medium size mado of this material commands a price of $r00 or more.
