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.

motisly took that view. It is pro
gress toward a better moral and civic
atmosphere In this state. 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?'. -.

Shipment of tho nipples was sug
gested by a correspondent In liur
inuny. lie quoted tho head of a chil
dren's hospital to tho or toot that. It
something was not dona to help nor
mal! babies; by 1933 tharo would bo
no Qurman soldlor fit to tight. Com
menting on this statement tho liven
ing Standard says:
"Taoro aro crowds ot peoplo In this
country, who while loving children,
want to know it the first and most
Imperative duty of Great llrttaln Is
to raise up a German army for 1933.
Tlioro aro ' many areas upon which
German children's fathers dropped
bombs killing Kngllxh children, anil
Htlll'inany more In Franco and Ilol
gluin, whose clilltlhood camo face to
race with theao German chlldron'a
fathers who would toll where the
charitable thought of Great Ilrltnln
us regards children might first lie fo
cused." After listening to an appeal for
funds to purchase tho nipples, Guorgo
Kgerton. Mrs. Goldlng Urlght). the
author, gave out a statumnnt In which
she said that tho "child iu the one
thing that counts, yut I say frankly
the appeal left mo cold." .
' ,.; "Tho boys whose bandages wore
torn off," sho continued,, who had
cups of water-dashed from their
parched lips by Gorman women, wore
all Homo British mother baby onco;
theso wonderful boys, In tho thoughts
of broken-hearted mothers,, are al
ways just nor baby. 1 had too mUrK
faith In the common souse ot my sex
to bellove they would supply Fritz
with a million-pieces of rubber, but 1
find my fulth was not Justified."
. The secretary of the league has
statod that the league's work at
horns need not be ourtnllud in any
way to help tho Gorman bnblos,
"We ourselves feel It may mean a
great deal moro than moroly giving
nipples ta starving bsblos," sho said.
"It may create a bettor fooling which
after. all. Is the only guarantee of
peace afterwards."
