A wheelbarrow load of bills wore
passed ' by tho legislature yeBterday.
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.

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.

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

:! If that hussy don't trot bock -with

i going to be a new face on the early
evening patrol of Main street, as sure
on you've got a whisker in your musb.
i Knough Is enough. 1 don't care if she
" has got a new hat on her head, and
, four wheels under her. When I say,
: i-roduce! Produco! Produce!, she calls
i me, Dearie, but kind words don't get
me my jewels. She came hore from
Frisco, but that little nuto mechanic
knew her la Klamath Fulls, for soven
I years. ' I don't euro whore she camo
f from, but I know where she's going
the hospital, kid! And, when I wns
. dltcusBlng the matter with her the
I other day, that old codger over there
chirps up and says, "Don't fight, llttlo
! girls! Cats and dogs do that In loway!
That blat was her chance. Sho went
to chattering to him. 1 ain't no tiger
') lad; like Clara Phillips, but their muk-
ing a wildcat woman out of mo. I got
i a heart In me, as big as On ox, and
' I'm kind and not too rough, and I al
e ways thought I had some rights, nnd

It ain't the nocklaco, Its the principal
of the thing. Why right now, I'd glvo

i doa't know it.
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.

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.

I THERE ARE MANY POINTS RECOMMENDING
THE "THOR" FOR USE IN ROGUE RlVtik
VALLEY HOMES
THREE FACTS ABOUT
"THOr EC0N0NY
1. The first cost is unusually low coiisidcring
quality and lonff service.- The Thor is made by
niechaiueal experts who have had long exper
ience in appliance work. It is the result o
. . . . ... b.'A
scores ol tests and years or pertectinp. 'j
2. The economy -of operatioti of Ihe Tlior is an cs--'
tahlishctl fact. It costs but little in elect rt
power to handle a lar.ee washing and the parjtK
subject io wear are. practically eliminated.
3. It will prove cheaper and quicker for you to do your "own washing with a
Thor than send it to the laundry. If you-have been in the habit f washing
at home by the old tub system you will ' f'hrds that the Thor will take the
drudgery out of the work. x . - .
