AVhere, then, does the inefficiency lie'? Is it in the leg islature'? Was not the legislature dominated by Senator J)ay, a man of "rare capacity" for looking after big busi ness interests? Did not the Oregonian's hand-picked IWultuoniah delegation comprise the all-important cog in his steamroller? Did not the legislature pass the famous midnight resolution to aid the Southern Pacific retain the forfeited land grant, ratify the eastern Oregon swamp land steal, and numerous other measures to aid special inter ests? U the legislature was melucjent, it was because it favored the program since advocated by the Aroter instead of the best interests of the people. Why this constant wail, calamity cry and defamation from big business and its little organ ? Do not the laws of Oregon favor legitimate and even some illegitimate busi ness? There is not a single statute restraining monopoly. In this, it is inefficient. J3ut there are laws against ehiid labor and to compel the payment of a minimum living wage to women. There is regulation of public service cor porations. There is a blue sky law all measures of pub lic welfare. These constitute the real grievance of trrcedv employers and the Oregon system of popular government 'he giving of the people a chance to enact or pass legis lation is the thorn in the flesh of predatory plutocracy. Oregon compares very favorably with other states in the matter of government. Its government is better, freer from scandal and corruption than that of the majority of commonwealths. It is far more efficient, far more honest than it ever was in the "good old days" of the old regime, when corruption, bribery and scandal ran riot in legis lative halls. Kven our county and municipal governments ivorago higher in efficiency than a score of years ago. Oregon's government is far .from perfect. Popular ?ovorninent is.a process of evolution. (Iradually it will be simplified and perfected and become more efficient. (Irad ually, as the legislature proves itself worthy of public con fidence, law-making will be left to it. It was its betrayal of the people by legislatures dominated by corporate cor ruption that created the Oregon system as a corrective but while the people, jealous of their rights, will not relin quish them, they do not want to make the laws unless com pelled to in self-dii'Mise. If there is any one thing that will force the people to stay in the law-making business for self-protection, it is thu big business program championed by the Oregon Voter. THE TUBANTIA CASE HP 1 1 Kl?l!l hats been a great to-do raised about the threat of (lerniaiiy to sink armed merchantmen without warning. As a matter of fact, the (icrumu submarine pol icy has betm to sink every ship possible, armed or un armed, enemy or neutral and usually without warning. If (lerniaiiy would only confine her submarine activities to armed enemy ships! The precedent set by the destruction of the Lusitania has been strictly adhered to. The destruction of the mag nificent new Dutch steamer Tulwuitia is the fourth Dutch liner to meet a similar fate, the steamships Katwyk, Ar temis and Dandling preceding it. , A long list of Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish and American vesnels adorn the ocean graveyards and iron crowcti adorn the submarine captains for their "mis takes." The submarine commanders do not take the trou ble to ascertain the nationality of their victim before loos ening the torpedo of death, to say nothing of attempting to ascertain whether the vessel is armed. "Shoot first, beat it, and let others do the investigat ing," seems to be the secret instructions given undersea commanders. When the wrong ship is sunk, apology is forthcoming, rop ration and punishment promisud -' and the submarines continue to fire blindlv at everv shin in sight. It is high time that the neutral nations united to de mand that such practice cease, for, with the discipline that rules the kaiser k forces, it is absurd to blame the dis asters on "officers' mistakes." Their constant repetition stultifies all (icrman promisee and assurances. The lust of death and destruction seems to have hlinded Germany to all sense of international obligation and destroyed all lv of luuuanitv. Rpl I -ALMCi JOHN A.

Thatvis good tobacco, badly cured. Curing is a matter of time and time alone. To bring out the full mellowness of leaf for the OWL we cure the tobacco an average of eighteen months. This means we must carry eigh teen months' supply of reserve to bacco on hand, so that every leaf may be properly cured before we use it. The value of this reserve stock at all times exceeds a million dollars. This is quite a large non-interest-bearing investment, isn't it? But think what this million dollar reserve supply of leaf means to the smoker. It means he gets a mild, full flavored smoke from perfectly cured leaves when he buys the OWL. It means that every OWL is mellow. This million dollar reserve supply insures uniformly good flavor. We might almost call the OWL the "Million Dollar" Cigar. Perhaps we will. M. A, GUNST & CO.
