Editorial Correspondence
Seven young men of Portland havo
been cooped up for a series of burg
larles. One wns secretary of a Sun
duy school class, and anothor carried
a powder puff. There waB nothing tho
mattor with the other five, except that
they did not want to fto to work.
TtellttlerB of tho legislature will now
hold their serpent tongues. A bill to
increase tho butterfat In Ice cream has
been Introduced, and it will produce
an oratorical cyclone, rivalling the 47!
years discussion of tho blessed Rogue
River fish bill. The butterfat bill is
of no particular vajuo, except that It
aggravates practically everybody.

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.

Now if Wojiechowski is assassinated, we'll know Mat a linotype

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.

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.

There is a lot of loose talk about

And this garrulous desire to aid

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
