Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
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.

Two Major Questions On
Strategy Must Be Decided
Soon President Mum On
Exact Stand On Liquor
By Byron Price
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, July 33. (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

Joining districts can be provided

nation of some elective subjects are
among the recommendations made
by Charles A. 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. Efficiency in financial administration-
and management of
schools calls for extensive reorgani

WILL
ROGER?
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., July
21. I see where Mr. Mellen i
coming home "bringing the
dntR on the economic confer
ence." "A conference!" That's all
we have had for year. The
world has jus' conferred itself
into bankruptcy. There hasn't
been a conference since the be
gining of the war that hasn't
stirred up more hate and done
moro harm than it has good.
A conference is just an ad
mission that you want some
body to join you in your
trouble. The world can't im
prove till it gets so poor that
it can't send delegates to a con
ference. Then it will begin to
improve by depending on itselJ.
