BRITAIN TO VOTE
M INDORSEMENT
OF LLOYD GEORGE
LOX'DOK, N'ov. 15. The issue in
the coming e!ections,is whether the
country will indorse Lloyd-George's
proposal that tho present coalition
government with himself as premier
shall be' continued after the war for
the work of making peace and carry
ing on the labor of reconstruction.
Never before were British political
conditions so chaotic as they are to
day. The war has shattered old par
ty lines.
The electoral reform bill adopted
by parliament during the summer of
1917 virtually doubled the number of
voters. It gave the ballot to all wom
en over 30, men over 21 and soldiers
under 2t. This added 6,000,000 fe
males and 2,000,000 males to the
voting lists. How the women will
vole and what parties the soldiers
will support none can predict.
The Icts: Ufa of tho present house
of commons expired three years ago
and has extended its own tenure of
office from term to term by resolu
tions. This has been Informal pro
ceeding which would have been im
possible except that it had the in
dorsement of public opinion because
no one wanted an election during the
great war.
As the new voters will be entitled
to take part in choosing the govern
ment Mr. I.loyd-Gsoro has before
him the difficult' task of trying to
keep together that majority of the
conservative party that supported his
war measures and enough liberals.
The decisive factors will be how
many liberals win follow him and
what policy the !abir party will
adopt.
'Herbert If. AnuHh remains the
official leader of tho liberal party
whiio Mr.. Lloyd-Coorgo is a free
lance without any party organization
or party funds behind him, iio
wishes to continue the political
truce which ail parties declared at
the beginning of the war and trusts
to the slogan that he is the "ieader
who won the war" to attract votes.
Trouble to lie Solved
The program of his followers is
apparently to nominate Lloyd-
George.
So far as Ireland is concerned,
the election probably means the al
most total disappearance of the old
nationalist patty of Redmond and
Dillon from Westminster. The Sinn
Feiners are-expected to-sweep south
ern Ireland but the members elected
by the Sinn Fein always refused to
take their scaU.
In addition to trying to hold to
gether his conservative and libera!
supporters, Mr. Lloyd-George is try
ing to reconcile the Asquith faction,
Mr. Asquith could have had a high
seat in the present cabinet if he
would have accepted It. There were
two obstacles, however, Home Rule
and Protection. One of these the
conservatives wilt not have and the
qther is objected to by the llbsrals.
NEED RAILROAD
-ACROSS OREGON
EAST AND 1ST
To the Editor: How does it happen
that Oregon is the only state in the
tmion without direct rail eqnneetions
with its eastern and western terri
tory; tf a man in western Oregon
wishes to visit the eastern part of
the state, he must go to Portland and
follow the Columbia river un. or go
down Into California and come back
to get into Oregon again.
Eastern and western Oregon grow
different products, and while eastern
Oregon is only a few miles from the
Rogue River valley, California anil
Washington grow most of the fruit
consumed there. There is a railroad
as far east as Butte Fails, and not
(many mites ' farther wouid connect itj!
up with tho system building north,
and south, and east, and give Med
ford and the Rogue River yaliey an
outlet for their fruit, and other pro
ducts; also soon give a short line east
for all of southern Oregon, as far as
tonnage is concerned.
,ilm Hill once said that tho timber
in Oregon, on SO acres of land, would
give a railroad as much freight to
haul out, as tho farm crops would on
SO acres for ninety years. That part
of Jackson county surely has the
timber to supply the tonnage. WW
don't Medford and ihe Rogue River
valley work to get the railroad com
pleted across to the other system now
building?
The war fs over, and railroad
building will soon begin again, and
if a railroad is needed anywhere on
the map, it surely is to connect Med
ford up to the cast. No tonnage has
to be created; it is there now, al
ready grown.
'Portland lumbermen figure there
will be one hundred and fifty thou
sand men employed In the lumber
business in Oregon in a few years.
Shall what railroads have been start
ed be dismantled and the valiey iso
lated from the great lumber indus
try?
