HAI-KM, Ore.. Jan. 1 0. Juckson county has nothing to bouHt about In the way of committee appointments, and yet when it U remembered that none of tho local representatives are in tho Portland and eastern Oregon combinations, the situation might be worse. v Judge Dunn is the most favored. He Is chairman of elections and piivoleges. which commlttco will probably handle tho proposed change in tho school election laws. The Jackson county sunaior Is also on two other committees which prom ise to bo important In this session. education, rouds and highways. His other committees are mines and game. In tho house, Carkln, who wanted tho ways and means or assessment and taxation, both being committees on which ho is particularly well qual ified to serve, was denied both and was given chairmanship of legisla tion, which will havo to do with the introduction of bills after tho first 20 days. Ho is a member of the roails and highways however, and also gets n placo on the judiciary committee, both Important, particu larly tho former, but not dealing with subjects In which Calkin spec ialises. As before stated Tlnlph Cowglll particularly wanted, chairmanship of the irrigation committee, IiIh expe rience as engineer of tbe Medford Irrigation district well qualifying him for the position. Tho place, however, was given I.eo of 'anby, a real estate dealer. Cowglll getting second place. Cowgill is also on game, which is not so important slneo it was divorced from fish; ho is on mining as well, and is chairman of the Military af fairs commlttco which will probably havo plenty of excitement In the pro posed revision of tho state bonus law. When tho really important posi tions in both houses are considered, howover, Jackson county; oa usual, is nn "also ran." Portland and east ern Oregon havo control, and having control, make the most of It. In fair ness It should bo noted, however, that Senator Hmlth of Grants Pass has the important chairmanship of ways and moans, which holds tho purse strings considered the most important, po sition in the upper house. But Jackson county Is not the only district thus affected. Two of the ablest 'men in tho house, veterans of long standing, men of tho highest at tainments, particularly in tho way of general business administration, are Tom Kay of Salem and Herbert Gor don of Portland. In sheer ability and devotion to tho public Interest, they stand put In tho present houso like giant Roquols on nn arid plain. And yet they hnvo been completely smothered. Kay has been mndo chairman of labor and Industry, and given a place on manufacturing, ir rigation and public institutions, which will nilow him to vlddlo his thumbs to his heart's content. Cor don is to bond tho railroads and transportation nnd bo a subordinnto on alcohol traffic, eloctlons nnd Ir rigation. Not one of these commlt tees, excepting Irrigation, Is Import ant, nnd Gordon is not an irrigation export. In other words, the houso ns or ganized defies all tho laws of na ture gravity, and common horse sense. Tho little men nro all on top and tho big men on the bottom, the heavyweights ure suspended in mid air tho llKhwelghts are put in as cor ner stones. Tho only law that Is noi defied is the lnw of the F. K. K. K. Tho Wlllametto Is going down nnd an U Ihn Infjtulti 1 1 va evcitement. With the committees appointed, nnd bills coming In for first roauing. ouwi chambers do littlo but meet and iwlW.m-n. Tnrlnv tho lilrlltH Went OUt and as tho usual downpour was going on, there was immeuinie uaiKnens. Speaker Kubll of tho house resur rected a sawed -off cnndlo from somewhere, nnd had It placed In a curious cup-shaped cnndlo stick. In tho dim flickering light ho looked like Mephistopheles In Fnust, in the midst of some diabolical incantation. . . Oovernor Plerco eats at the Marlon with wlfo and family. His two daughters nro exceedingly nice look ing girls with bobbed hair and rosy cheeks like father, and at times sug gestions of father's smile. Tho do mestic circle, howover. Is broken whenever anyone walks pnst tho table which Is every three or four minutes by tho clock.' Tho governor misses no one nnd no ono misses the gov ernor. Those who have no particular favors to ask always congratulate his excellency on his inauguration speech. To each congratulator the governor gives assurance with a vig orous hand shake, that nothing could gratify him more thnn those words from such a source. Tho thoso who hnvo favors to nsk thero is ulso a heartv hand shake, and tho assurance that everything In human power will bo done to see that the request is promptly granted. Hut nothing ns far as known, has been granted, or will bo granted until tho Ides of March. II. I Walther offered his resignation from tho fair board, but It was declined and tho Medford man urged to retain his berth. In March it will bo a differ ent story, for in March the Legisla ture will havo adjourned. Kveryono is for consolidation for tho other fellow, nnd everyone is for nn Income tax no drawn that it will hit someone else, nnd everyone who owns no timber is for a severance tax. And yet everything indicates that all these measures will pass tho senate a thing unthinkable in any previous session. What will happen in the houso Is another story for under such nn organization anything may hap pen. Kap Kubll is for an Income tax. but his own, he is reported to be op posed to consolidation' and a sever ance tax. 'If tho house committees don't follow Knp's lend thero will bo somo excitement. And on the other hand, there will be some ex citement If they do. In fnct, it is bound to bo an exciting session in nnother .ten days' or two weeks, perhaps boforo but just now, with Joseph's spbech forgotten, , It Is a dead calm.

Manchester (Eng.) Ouurdlnn. Ouill Points Getting sophisticated is just it slow process of .searching for another kick. ' ' " Now if Wojiechowski is assassinated, we'll know Mat a linotype operator did it. Even a League of Nations can't keep a man with authority from being an infernal ass. A modest man always feels a little cheated if you don't notice his modesty and praise him for it. Still, parents arc permitted to seo their daughter's beau at inter vals when he stops in front of tho house and honks. Poison is quicker, of course, but sho can give him fried food' three times it day nnd avoid embarrassing publicity. The surprising thing about that mint robbery is that anybody should care that much about mint in times like these. Well, why shouldn't the bride have lots of clothes? It will prob ably be a long time before she gets any more. RipplingRhutnes tv won rrawxr S as. I ft FAT OR LEAN " I WAS IX) ADHD down with lard, and had lost" my pristine grace j 1 was much tho fattest bard to be seen around the place; and the diet doctors said, "You are much too richly fed; you must live on graham broad nnd raw turnips for a space. Drastic rules you must obey if you'd have a slender form; you must walk twelve miles a day, in the sunshine or the storm; you must fire your fancy cook and drink water from the brook, and be. guided by our book, which is full of by-laws warm." So I cut. out all the grub that had made me largo and fat, and ate mushes from a tub, and drank water from a vat; and tho tallow seemed to melt underneath my snowy pelt, and iptite willowy I fell,. for a while, and that is that. Hut. my dreams were all of steaks when at night I closed my eyes, and by day I thought of cakes and of large and stately pies; and I yearned for Irish stew and for chops and cutlets too, and nij; longings grew and grow till they reached a beastly size. So at last I rose and said, ' llcauty isn't worth the cost; slaw and hay and sawdust bread as a diet are a frost ; I shall eat tho things I wish, roasted tur keys, beans nnd Fish, every luscious, tempting dish, though my shapeliness be lost." So the lard is coming back, 1 am fat, who once was lean; but I'm singing in my shack, I'm as happy as a fiieen; let Apollo slrnt around, let Narcissus paw the ground, I shall evermore ho found where the gorgeous grub is seen.

It is protty well settled thnt we are a going to furuish Europe witb a lino ct credit so tbut she cuu buy enough grain und foodstuffs to tldn her over her present period ot scar city. Let it bo understood that It is an emergency and not the perform ance ot any duty. There is a lot of loose talk about our duty to Europe or Asia or Africa, or any benighted corner of the globe that happens to Interest tbe talker. And this garrulous desire to aid somebody usually takes tbe form of a proposed dip Into the U. S. Treasury as a gift or a loan that no onex ex pects to be paid back. Out of Your Pocket It Is a pity that all men can't be made to understand that the U. S. Treasury can't got a dollar to give to' anybody except as it takes that dol lar out of somo one else's pocket. If our generous politicians could be made to realize that It Is our dollar that they' are giving away, possibly they might tie a few strings to it. For instance, as the lender, we havo the right to lay down' tho condi tions of the loan. Then why not re quire that governments In Europe shall balance their ' expenses with their real income, stop printing their mako believe money with which to cheat creditors, levy taxes on their people at least, as heavy as those we pay, revise the impossible terms of the Paris treaty, and stop was and threats of wars based upon attempt ed seizure and spoliation of other people's land.
