We take plenty of chances every day, no matter what we do. f rvOWN in Portland the other day or so, at least. It la alleged masked bandlta entered the offices of a firm of attorneys at night, held up the watchman at the pistol's point, and stole from the safe the petitlona for an Initiative meaaure .proposing conaolldatlon of the Unl veralty and an Agricultural College. We're getting to be a wild and wooly lot here In Oregon, aren't we? rpHESE petitions, proposing ft law of.very great importance to the atate of Oregon, have been hawked around all over Oregon, In the hands of persons of no official standing. Barnes on them have been purchas ed at ao much per name. Now, we reed, they have been hi jacked at the pistol's point by des perate and unscrupulous persons, In tent upon Interfering at any cost with the processes of law In this sov erlgn state. TpHERE have been ugly stories In the 'past about this business of petition shoving. ' It has been asserted, on reasonably good authority, that petitions pro posing lawa. that would be Injurious to certain, Interests have been circu i lated and filled, at so much per name, and. that after.tbe petitions were filled and ready to file they were SOLD at a high price to the Interests that would have been In jured by the proposed law. We have a name In this country lor that kind of business. It Is known as RACKETEERING. IT Isn't a very pleasant situation when unscrupulous individuals can take advantage of the processes of law-making to practice racketeering Is it? TpHIS writer has urged for many years that this practice of pri vate and unofficial circulation of pe titions for Initiative and referendum measures be done away with, and that In Its place we adopt the sys- 4 tern of placing petitions with re sponsible public officials, such as county clerks, where those who wish to sign may go and do so. That, at least, would do away with petition racketeering. If such has ac tually existed In the past, as there secma to be reason to suspect. HERE Is a purely personal ques tion: What do you think of the person al feud between Governor Meier and Secretary of State Hoss, which for more than a year has been aired so liberally In the newspapers? npHIS writer, who 'is merely one in- dividual among many thousands of Individuals, thlnka It Is very, very far Indeed beneath the proper dig nity of two of the highest officials of this state of oura, of which we are 11 exceedingly proud. GOVERNOR MEIER Is a good man and an able official. With his k desire to provide Installment pay ment for automobile licenses, which precipitated the latest brawl, this writer Is In complete accord, believ ing It to be a sound method of meet ing an existing emergency. Secretry of State Hoes, whom this writer , haa known Intimately for many years. Is also a good man and an able and conscientious official, whose administration of his office haa been above reproach. It Isn't a pleasing spectacle when men of such unquestioned ability and talent become so deeply Involved In a personal quarrel that they forget the dignity of their high offices and quarrel and bicker and brawl In public Ilk a couple of Irresponsible boys making facea at each other.

Great Stride Made. Convinced that a great atride had been made toward putting Europe's economic house In order, 'Prime Min ister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain, whose Indomitable determi nation was largely responsible for the agreement, turned hta attention to adjusting the agreement of Lau sanne to world problems. That means bringing In the war debts of 11.000,000,000 owed to the United States. At the ceremony of signature the prime minister made a speech In which he declared, in effect, that the United States would have to re consider those debts. Open New Chapter. "Thia begins a new chapter," he said, '"We have closed one book and opened a new one. Agreement has not been easy. There . are too many old memories which are not easy to uplift::" - "Lausanne must put into effect a universal framework. Europe can not live alone. The arrangements signed here must have a response elsewhere." The immediate problem was the extending of an Invitation to the United States, which was the subject of several conversations today. This matter was considered most delicate. BERLIN, July 0.
