CLIMATIC' value lire relative. AVliclhor or not t lie climate! in
a pnrlieiilnr district is ootid or ;nl, depends iimhi wlt.it tilt; cii
ninte is in other districts id the same time.
licnriiiK this in mind, Jledl'onl and 1 lie If-ojjue Kivcr valley, inelnd
intr every section from the l'iii)(iia Divide to the Siskiyons, has
reason lliis year tn boast of the climate which is the ;irticulnr good
iYirliine of Southern Oregon. ;
I'rolinlily never before has the clinnrte in this section shown up to
hetter advantage. Shortly ufter the first, of the year, there were. e
.viistutinn floods throughout, the i'neifie Northwest, 'transportation
v.its paralyzed, losses in properly find stock were tremendous, but
there were no floods in Southern Oregon, there were no losses. .
The past few days the 1'iicifie Northwest north of (irants l'ass has
been .swept by one of the worst blizzards in recent history. In Se
title, the storm hint! took ti toll id' seven lives. In Portland the liter
enry reached ten above, schools were closed, traffic wits paralyzed.
At this very tune tho sun was smiling in tin; liogtie itiver valley
iind everythiufi climatically wits lovely. Thus far since the first of
the year. Southern Oregon lias enjoyed a winter with much sunshine,
umipiirativcly little wind nnd snow, n winter t;ood for the crops,
tfood for the stock nnd tfixid for the human beiiijrs.
Moreover if records of the pust.decnde were examined, we believe
it would he found that the climate hero year in nnd year out, par
ticularly in February, is superior to any thins i" the 1'iu'ific North
west. It isn't the climate, of Palm Pencil. The climate is more rigor
ous nnd vigorous. Put it is free from extremes, it is stimulatini; tnd
varied without boiii;? unpleasant, it is year after year, a type of
went her difficult to beat.
Therefore, we believe a pamphlet giving the comparative weather
reports of Southern Oregon nnd the other districts of the Northwest
would be nn excellent proposition for the various Chambers of Com
merce to publish and circulate. Let tho world know just how the
weather man treats Southern Oregon, particularly when he is mis
treat ing practically every other district in other parts of the country
and the Pacific Const.

If IbesB bills had been 'left to their
offielnl champions we venture to Miy
none of them would have passed. The
reason H lierc. Only n small group
composing tho committee to which a
nieiiHiun Is referred ever havo an In
tlmtite knowledge 'of -'It. The majority
usually see the 0111 for tho first time
when it is up for final passage, or
at least examine it in dotal! for the
first time. As a result the majority
uepenn largely upon the way the case
for that bill Is presented lo deter
mine their vote. If It l presented
poor'.y, tho average legislator 1 con
cludes that If that Is thi best the
champion of tho bill can offer It must
ho a pretty doubtful measure, and the
one overshadowing rule in most
legislatures and particularly In this
one is, when In doubt vote "no."
tutlves were not cleeted bi
their ability, but because they were
either demagogues or fanatics. The
main issue. In the legislative contest,
was religion.
In a vast majority of cases, par
ticularly in Multnomah county, men
were elected either because they were
members of the Ku Klux Klun or
liecuuso they accepted the Ku Klux
program for pollticul advantage.
As u result tho house assembled
under tho banner of religious bigotry
und the organization was perfected
under this banner. The Important
committee, assignments went not to
the men best fitted by expel lenee nnd
attainments for the various .positions,
but to the men who liau yelled the
loudest against tho Catholic church.'
In other vonl Injecting nn issue
Into tho campaign which never should
have been Injected, which was not a
real issue, then, and is no issue what
ever now, tho least competent men
wero placed In positions of influence
and importance, and tho most com
petent men wore left out in tho cold.
The outcome bas been, particularly
in the house, un organization without
a head, without ability or leadership,
in short no organization nt all. And
to understand tho present confusion,
dissatisfaction and general chaos, one
has merely to go back to the sturtlng
point, nnd place the blame souarely
upon thoso men, who for their own
political ndvuntago, injected the re
ligious issue Into Oregon politics.

Tho Incapacity and general futility
of the nominal committee leaders in
the house is shown every day, as the
bills come up for passage. The
heads of tho committees have charge
of the committee bills und nro dele
gated to lead tho debate for thoso
bills. Tho rcsuLMins been pitiful. A
number of excellent bills might well
have been killed for no other reason
than that they were incapably
handled, that tho men selected to ex
plain them, had neither the parlia
mentary ability nor the knowledge of
the subjects concerned, to elucidate
tlio proposals favorably and clearly
nnd thereby securo the necessary
votes.
Fortunately for Oregon the origi
nal Ku Klux machine has long since
been scrapped. There is nothing left
of It but an unpleasant memory. Kx
cept for the farm bloc, which is only
a unit on distinctly farm-benefit
measures, there Is no working organ
ization in the house at all. Kvery
member has boon for sonic weeks, a
free laliee, voting, we( believe con
scientiously for tljose measures be
lieved to be right, but In the general
hurry and confusion, .necessarily
unable always" to know the precise
meaning of tho measures under discussion.
House Hill 140 which came up the
other day, a bill to supervise taxes
within tho various counties, und con
trol local extravagance, a very de
sirable measure, would undoubtedly
havo failed If no one had come to
the help of the committee. Fortu
nately John Carkin sprang Into tire
breach, and In a clear and convinc
ing speech, showed Just what tho bill
would do. Just why it was particu
larly needed If any real relief to the
taxpayers is to be obtained, und with
a decidedly forceful closing, nroused
so much enthusiasm, that several
other speakers Joined in, notably Jlott
of Astoria, ono of the best speakers
and clearest thinkers in tho house,
and tho measuro carried. This is only
one example of many. Tho people of
Oregon can be thankful for tho spirit
of public service and loyalty, which
has impelled those men who were left
out-in the cold nt tho opening of the
session, to forget grievances they
might have had, and devote their
energies to getting tho best that can
be gotten out of the legislative mess.
For tho Inst two days tho house
has been consldertpg tho assessment
and taxation ' mea'sures exclusively.
There is a great hue, nnd cry about
what a rotten income tux bill has
been presented. This condemnation
is rather premature. Tho provisions
in the published bill are entirely ten
tative, and there is every reason to
believe that tho final bill will be both
moderate nnd -fair. It will probably
not please the radicals, but it has a
chance of pleasing as tiinnv people
as can be pleased by uny sort of tax
ation. Moreover it Is highly probable that
the people of Oivgon wilt finally de
termine whether or not there is to
lie an income tax bill. If no" bill is
passed nt this session ono will un
doubtedly lo initiated, and It a bill
IS passed, it will In nil likliliood lie
referended. So in either event the
people of Oregon won't pet anything
they don't vote for which is not,
wo might add, the same thing as
saying they won't get anything they
don't want.
