UP IN CANADA, they are discussing wider use of British goods, the Idea being to keep the business within the British family. II they do, we are told, It will mean a con siderable loss of business lor the United States, Don't get too much worried over this talk of keeping the business to the family. It sounds line, when Indulged in at formal conferences. . but In the long run It will be prices and quality that will get the .orders. If the United States can continue to make satisfactory goods at satis factory prices, It will probably con tinue to get Its share of Canada's business. CYRIL d. BROWNELL, of Portland, Is under arrest, accused of hav ing stolen from the safe In his office petitions for an Initiative measure proposing consolidation of the Uni versity and the State College. Why he stole the petitions, IP he stole them, no one knows. The story, V If It could be told, would probably make Interesting reading. PBE petition hoax, whatever may nave oeen tne motivea Dack 01 it, Illustrates rather strikingly a weak- Bess In our direct legislation methods. Anybody who chooses to do so may ' go out and circulate petitions for an Initiative or referendum measure. These petitions, until they are filed, re his personal property, to do with as he pleases. If he pleases to sell them to some body who might be Injured by the proposed legislation, there Isn't any thing much that can be done about It. , eyKUS racketeering is encouraged. There h-ive been rather ugly negations In the past of actual pe tition racketeering in this ' state. Nothing has ever been proved, but there have been plenty of suspicions. THIS writer, for 'years, has advo- cated taking petitions for Initi ative and referendum measures out of the hands ot private and usually Interested circulators, and placing hem In the handa of public of ficials, such as county clerics, where hey may be signed by anyone who Irishes to come there and affix hla signature. This plsn, at least, would' remove ftbe temptation to use the Initiative and referendum laws as vehicles for personal gain, .... PHB chief objection to this plan has been that It would make It more difficult to get Initiative and referendum measures, onto the ballot. This writer, for one, would not tegsrd that as a calamity. At every jf election there are many tlmea as many measures as there Is any par ticular call for. If the number were reduced sharply, there would probably be no great popular complaint. pHIS writer has 'sn Idea that the Initiative and the referendum, II they are to be of any real' value, should be used quite sparingly. As Woodrow Wilson so well said, they should be kept as the "gun behind the door." By that, he meant that they should be used only in those emergencies when corrupt legislatures fall to pro Tide clearly1 needed and useful legis lation, or In those other emergencies when corrupt or inefficient legisla tures enact clearly harmful laws, J Petitions left with public offlclsU and algned voluntarily by citizens Interested enough to take the trouble to go to the places where the peti tions were kept and sign their names, . would at least Indicate genuine popu lar demand. That Is more then csn be said for the present system of private peti tion peddling at so much per name.

(AP) The rapid pace of the presidential campatgn la forcing toward decision these two highly Interesting and" pos sibly dominating questions of party strategy: How far will the republicans go toward an affirmative bid for the prohibition vote? And how far will the democrats go In aeeklng the sup port of the west at the sacrifice of certain strength In the east? For the answer to the first of these questions, the country Is looking to President Hoover's acceptance speech August 11. As he begins Its prepara tion, he Is besieged on the one hand by pleas that he show a definite per sonal Inclination to the dry aide, at the same time that he accepts the submission plank adopted at Chicago; ana on the other hand by advisers who think the party ought to cut loose entirely from the organised drys. and stand for submission and nothing else. It probably Is true that not one of the president's lntlmatea knows today what he will decide to say. He la listening to both aides, and keep ing his own thoughts to himself. All that can be said with certainty Is that he has no Intention of declaring for repeal, or even by Inference put ting himself definitely on tho ex treme antl-prohlbltlon side of the case. Similarly, many politicians expect Governor Roosevelt to Indlcste whe ther he Intends to follow the strategy adopted by his running-mate. Speak er Garner.

Howard, superinten dent of public instruction, to meet the problem of Increased enrollment and decreased revenues. The . Oregon schools, Howard aald, are facing the same situation aa many othera because of employment condition at the present time. Be cause they cannot secure work, young people of high school age are going to school, where otherwise they would neglect schools. During the past year the enrollment In high schools has increased cansiaerame, he said, while revenues are less. The exact Increase will not b known for some time until counties complete their reports, the school head said, but already indications point to a larger enrollment. It is also noted that high schools in smsller communities have ehown a greater proportionate increase than large city schools. Howard said It would be impos sible to seek new sources of reve nue for school districts so he has urged school boards to adopt strict economy for the coming year, and he has made recommendations to make the economy possible. Thare are 2760 school districts in Oregon. "Of these," Howard said, "approximately 2200 are achool dis tricts with levies for schools in 1031 ranging from less than 1 mill to 40 mills.
