AS these worda are written, Jamea
Mattern and Bennett Griffin,
who flew safely and rather casually
over the wild and dangerous waters
of the north Atlantic, are enroute
to Moscow by train after "cracking
up" In a Russian boa;.
One la reminded of the soldier who
fought through three wars and then
was killed by a brick that fell on ,hls
bead from the top of a building.
fJERE Is the moral If you care for
morals:
' If you have aomethlng WORTH
WHILE to do, DO IT, taking what
ever chances are necessary.
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

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.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 8.
(AP) The reparations agreement
scaling down Germany's bill from
an original $64,000,000,000 to ap
proximately S712.800.000 was Initialed
today by delegates of the leading
powers, and almost before the Ink
was dry preparations were started
for the world economic conference
authorized In the treaty.
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.

Analysing In a statement the coats
of delivering the gasoline to Idaho,
he said It could be brought here at

charging two cents for overhead, a
saving of more than four cents a gal
lon could be made.
"During March," he said, "Idaho
used 2,834,925 gbllons of gasoline. If
the state made It possible to buy
gasoline at 22 cents a gallon Instead
of the present 36 cent product, this
would mean a saving of $137,071 a

to pay the state's bonded debt." .
