THE. oihcr two suiigostions ore i not so - important, or so

I no .obvious abuse in onr courts, the JliiindiiiK down fit extreme

Hut there would be the danjrer of "t,oo Jitrjet a standard.izatioii,

all in all a very desirable feature.
A similar criticism could be made of ,t,he pi'oyisioii, prohib

tion of the sentence. Circumstances alter cases. There are
times when extreme lenience', is justified and if not invoked -works
an unwarranted hardship, hof somuch upon tjie defend-,
lint perhaps, as upon innocent members .of his family.
However, in both instHiieeSj a step would be made in ihe
direction of correc.ting the growing abuse, of Jumding down
unjust and .disproportionate sentences, 'which to our mind, is
a serious evil. , In qther words we believe more can be said in

There- Is renewed discussion of
the sulilecL ot ..v-reiuing tjw office
of lieutenant governor for Oregon
since the death of 'Clovcrnor Pat
terson and the ' succession of A.
W. Norblad, who was president of
ti.n .iitin .i.nnte. Nobody so far
us observed Is objecting to Gover
nor Norblad hut the tact is iieinn
pointed that Oregon now has lit
the highest office within the gift
of the people an Incumbent for or
against whom those people neve.
have been alvcn an opportunity
to vote. In Oregon, the state which
was firm to move away from rep
resentative irovornment toward-
popular government by adoption of
the measures coming under whit
Is known ns the Oregon system, we
have Just elevated to our hlghe...
office a man who had neither
sought nor obtained the pulill.'
suffrage for thnt ofjlrc.
Some of the comment on the
situation now developed and prior
heroto ls In a tone Indicating hi
opinion thnt some right of tho
people la being withheld from
thnn in the matter. This woul 1
h true were It not for the fact
that the people themselves adopt
,. M-inuiilntlnnnl nmendment
Whereby the' present form of suc
cession lo the governorsnip was
provided. The legislature submit
ted It and the voters ratified it by
a heavy majority. To argue that
the present form of succession is
not what the people want, is to
argue that they did not know wJirj
they were voting for when th' y
adopted that amendment. The
populur'. Diandate against the. of
fice of lieutenant governor is even
more murked.- Three times a pro
posal for creation of the -office has
been before the people. Thr?e
times the proposal has been re
jected by great majorities.
Our constitution formerly pro
vided that tho secretary, of sta.e
should succeed to the governorship
upon death or disability of the In
cumbent. On assuming the high
est office under -such circumstances
It was then the duty of tho new
governor 'to appoint IjUi suebesior
as secretary .of elate.: -thus ienab
llng him' to control'the stidto bonrjl
of three members', 'abiolutety. . it
was this objection in ,the abstract,',

Thus we have a governor select
ed not by tho people by their bal

state senators. As few as 16 mn
may thus choose a future gover

nor Norblad is fully qualified for
his office hut If an occasion shaM
come to puss some time wherein
an unfit or unworthy incumbent

by the present method of succes
sion then the voters might conceiv
