A- LIEUTENANT- GOVERNOR,. TIlBJ'lbgislafiU'P has oiii'p again submitted' a bill to the people, creating tliv off U'O of fiduUuiimi 'governor at a salary of $10 a day with nothing, to do to earn it. Iu i912 the people voted down n similar measure, the vote standing: yes. 50.562, no 61,644u. In.1914 thoy over whelmed a similar- bill; with the vote of 52,040 for and 143, 804 against- a majority of 9li7U4! agaiust the measure. These ejections show plainly enough tho sontinuvnt .of tho people-but what does the legislature care for the people, when.' there is a chance to 'play polities i ,: j., For (50 years, sinee Oiogon was admitted as a state, the state has got along without a lieutenant governor, who is a fifth wheel- iu state affairs, a supernumerary to eoiisume taxpayer' niouey with no sendees- in return and in all probability, they will continue to worry, along without this frill. '. . - .,;;...; ;,.'" : v Tho constitution provides that, in case of the death or disability of the governor, the secretary , of stato be comes governor as was the ease when Benson succeeded Chamberlain. In case of his disability, the' president of the senate becomes acting governor,, as;, happened-when Judge Bowermau took Benson's place during tho hitter's illness. The arrangement, in1 the i-are cases it has had to be invoked,1 worked as satisfactorily as if we had. a lion tenant governor. ' ' . The present effort of the politicians is aimed to pro vent present Secretary of State Olcott .from .heconiing governor in ease of Governor Wilthycombe's disability or death not because Olcott would not fill the position sat isfactorily to the people, but because he might oust some of the darlings of the machine which steam-rollered -thru the bill in the dying horn's of he session.: ? ' . . : Everyone hopes that Governor Withycombo Avill recov er from his reported indisfsition. and regain his shatter ed health, but in case he does uotx there can be no objec tion to Olcott, who is admittedly the best secretary-of state Oregon ever had, whose-soiuid business judgment as indicated by his votes on the board of control, commend him to all and who was second choice for governor in the republican primaries last year. . .. . Taxes are high enuf without adding any-more super fluous office-holders and the people can be depended upon to vote against this political luxury. ' ' , To Recover .i - (From the .Oregon Journal. . The ' people have the state land board's approval) the attorney gen eral's approval' and the . legislature's approval of the plan for securing restitution of fraudulently acquired Oregon lands. Only three men in all the legisla ture voted against the proposal. These were Mr. Westerlund, Mr. Bean and Mr. Gore of the house: In the senate the vote was unanimous. The bill had the unanimous . - ap proval of the joint ways and means committee, the approval of the public lands committee of the bouse, and the approval of the public' lands committee of the senate. , , If this legislature had done, noth ing else, the session and all It cost would be fully justified by the action thus taken. The one mindedness of the -beginning in this enterprise of restoring that which has been stolen Is splendid augury for the final suc cess of the undertaking. ) -.- We require restitution of a stolen automobile. . We require the bank clerk, if captured, to return whatever of the loot that 1b yet in his hands. The courts, both federal, and State, have; in recent decisions, held that we should do the same thing with men who have fraudulently acquired public lands.- - .- . i The Oregon legislature has almost unanimously taken the same 'View.

V ' - So long as the theft of public lands remained unchallenged, so long as one of the ' greatest robberies of a state public domain- went unques tioned, so long as we closed our eyes to the tragedy of the children's school fund pillaged, why preach morality and attempt to make the civic virtue of the commonwealth all all that it ought to be?'. -.
