None of tho lot will throw any of the hearenly bodies off their orbits, be fore the first of the month. One, how ever, la a beacon of wisdom, and a masterpiece of deep thinking. It pro vides for tho appointment of a com missioner of oil, and oil prospects. In every county of Oregon. Of course, there are no oil wnlls now, but the leg islature has a long head. . If oil U dis covered, a commissioner of oil, will bo handy. to! I1I1U begin to como out like pop corn from a popper and there is a rush, day and night, until adjourn ment. The "pop" period started today. Heaven only knows how muny bills wore passed or what they woro ull about, least of all the members of the legislature. Hut they proceedod to roll up llko the proverbial snow hull and tonight the legislative rec ord of this session Is at least twice u3 large us It was this morning. Tho Jackson county delegation led tho procession. Two bills by Cow- gill passed tho house. One compels the county trcusurer to give bond for tho District Irrigation funds in his possession, another puts the expen diture of funds In an Irrigation dis trict under the direction of tho Irri gation securities commission with tho governor a member of tho commis sion. There was a hard fight on tho latter with Durdick of eastern Ore gon, leading tho opposition, but Cow gill won. Senator Dunn's bill preventing a votor from changing his party within 30 days of a primary election also passed tho senate. There were sev eral speeches against It. Senator La Follotto of Marlon quotod the scrip tures regarding a sinner that may re pent unto tho last and maintuinod that If a democrat saw tho error of his ways even two hours before eloc- ' tlon ho should have the right to vote the straight republican tlckot. Senator Zimmerman, tho dirt larmur ruiiroHonuuivo uuu .oil J am-. I port is the bill has been killed. Kveryonu seems agreed it should be. i Hut let it lie remarked right here thul when it comes to sluying giants and drugous and sich like "Jack the tiiant mailt Killer" hud nothing on one II, L. W. John (Jarltin is the busiest mau in the house. When anyone wants ai new consolidation bill or u new in- scnute. Not boss In a derogatory sense. Ifut boss because of his high character, keon Intelligence . and growing prestige. Tho Kddy school hill wus tho turning point. When that passed iu-splte of tho tight I'ortlund made against it. Senator Kddy- be came tho, loudm of the upper house. As predicted four weeks ago tho Upton-Joseph bull' fight has been en tirely forgotten. Upton chews gum und smiles llko a Cheshire cut and Joseph chews a cigar and almost smiles lftlck. He doesn't really smile. Ho cant. Hut he no longer glaroe. Ho appears quite chastened and con tented. Things are going well. Upton Is president, but tho Moser machine which was scheduled to run over the opposition Is'only hitting on ono cyl inder and sometimes doesn't hit on that. And Upton seeniB to bo enjoy ing himself. A month ago he was tho "biggest crook" in the stato of Oregon. Today ho is ono of tho moBt popular "presiding officers the upper house ever had and everyone ngrees lo doing extremely well. Tho trag edy has given way to a sort of placid cud chewing rural drama. Tho tight has departed, only tho Bull remains. II. L. Walther, Paul McKeo and sovoral officials from' tho California Oregon Power company und Captuln Vanco of tho Homo Telophono com puny wore hero yestorday to opposo a bill which would buso aBsesments of public service corporations upon tho amount ' of money invested or nan adherent, fell back on Abraham something like that. Tho latest ro- Llncoln w'io changed bis party from Whig to Itepubllcun, and maintained our modern Abrahams should huve the same right. Hut Senator Kddy seconded Judgcj Dunn's endorsement of the measure and said It was in the intorest of "honest politics.:' So the bill passed. Almost any bill advocat-1 come tax bill they go to John. The od by Sonutor Eddy will pusb. The governor bus given him at least two uosouurg solon is clearly boss or the i important commissions, and his op- RipplingRhunsQs fr won Down, ! T A Rod and Gun club will bo formed In tho valley. This Is a stop forward In home management, and all sincere ly hope, parents will never have to use a gun on their offsprings. One of the planks In Henry Ford's platform for the presidency, is The abolishment of poverty." Here is a compalgn cry, more alluring than any thing, that-can happen to the taxes, and will get everybody out of over alls by Christmas. I PLAIN ENOUGH 1 i-,'. (rtoscburg (Nows-Itevlow) ,, i'.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS. hr mi r .f WHEN in my cozy room o' nights, I count my blessings every hour; I push it button and the lights shine forth with potency and power. Last night the button failed to work, some dynamo had broken down, nnd midnight shadows seemed to lurk o'er all the sore nnd saddened town. My aunt produced an ancient lamp, with misfit glass and shado of green, and its ex terior was damp with evil-smelling kerosene; I cranked it up and lit the wick, and said, "Now, wc shall have some light;" the smoke it sent forth, dark and thick, incrcrised the blackness of the night. When turned too low it gave no light, when turned too high it acted drunk, and I exclaimed, "Dodgast the wight who ever made such hopeless junk." I fooled with it in my abode, neglecting more important chores, and in the end saw it ex plode and blow my mints clear out of doors.' ' My clothes were wet with kerosene, my hide was full ol broken glass, and neighbors say they wist nnd ween my language shriveled up tho grass. Our fathers used such dizzy Irnps to light the'ir homes, and thought them great, nnd much I fear we modern chaps don't realize our rich estate. I count, my blessings, count them all, since with that ooal oil lamp I wrought; I press a button in the wall, and lo, tho light to me is brought.

UNITED CREDITORS ASSOCIATION Hot) Spalding Itullding Portland, Oregon The larget nml most efficient organization serving the creditor public. This service Is In common nso In Jackfon County. iniou on assessment or taxatlou bills are eagerly sought for and highly re garded. Ho wusn't given the com mlttoe but ho is doing tho work. So merit seekn its lovol oven In tho legis lature. Just us Eddy dominates tho senate, tho Farm Hloc dominates tho house, Our udvlec to anyone who wishes to put somothlng over in tho house Is to put on a pair of fnlso whiskers, a woatner uouten Stetson, scatter some nli'ulfa seed on a mud spattered uls ter, and mako a noise like a bum yard'. Yon can't, lose. Whut tho furm 'bloc wants, goes. Whut the farm bloc doesn't want, doesn't go. Take market roads for example. Tho farm bloe Is death on taxes ex- copt when taxes bonofit tho farmer. Tho market roads bill passed the house today. It means tho expend! turo of something like i 1:1,000,000 on market roads, that Is county roads, connecting with tho main high ways. Tho highway commission op posed the bill on the ground that this sum will be needed for maintaining tho paved highways already con structed. Tho members called an emergency moeting to sido track the measure. Men the stamp of Yoon and Booth opposed the hill. But when Graham, who Introduced the bill, talked about tho poor hard work inz furmor and bow the limn had como when the legfsluturo must de cide whether tho farmor wns to bo given a square deal or not, there was nothing to It but Knp Kublls' "The measure having received a constitu tional majority is passed." As far ns actual results aro con cerned this tax reduction talk is bunk. Perhaps a million dollars In all will bo lopped off, but when tax paying time comes around no one will notice It. Tho tax burden may bo shifted slightly, but tho burden will be there for some ono In Ore gon to shoulder. There will bo new taxes, too', Income tax, gas tax, and othor taxes. No, the hard fact Is state taxos aro up and will stay up. The real problem is to keop them from ascending higher. Tho sorest man In Salem is Sena tor Charley Hall. He blames every thing on the anti-Klan Bloc. Hardly. And yet this much is certain, the Klan Is not in favor either in the house or senate. It- has no power whatever. Even tho Fedoratcd Patriotic Sociotics aro against it. Po litically speaking, the chickens are coming homo to rooit. Tongue Twisters (To be read aloud) By C. L.
