TT U good to be told that Oregon is operating under a system of government which it is impossible to im prove. For years we have been hearing, and believing, that a consolidation of a multitude of state bureaus, boards and commissions under a few departments would result in increased efficiency and bring about a substan tial saving to taxpayers. But it appears we have been laboring under an erroneous impression, and that it has remained for the present legislature to bring us to our senses. i Governor Meier advocated consolidation of various 'departments in his inaugural address and has since urged our legislative body to adopt his program. He advocated the grouping of all state law enforcement de partments under one head, patterned after the Canadian mounted police system. - He advocated the creation of a state department of agriculture which would absorb numerous boards and commissions. Bills providing for consolidations along the lines recommended by the gov ernor were drafted, referred to proper committees and hearings called to consider them. AH went well until numerous witnesses appeared at the committee hearings and advanced the argument that the consolidation idea is not worth the paper required to print the bills. Witnesses appeared telling the com mittee that consolidation is desirable, but should not in clude the state traffic department . Then came leading sportsmen who said the plan is constructive but it would reduce the efficiency of the state fish and game department if its wardens were included in the program. "Take in the others, including the traffic department, but don't bother ours," was the substance of the argument advanced by the fish and game boys. Then to further prove that the consolidation plan is at full of holes as a rusty sieve, those jealous lovers of the state prohibition department pointed out that the efficiency of their department would be greatly lessened if its representatives wearing badges of authority were placed under the command of a central state police de partment, So we find that the state traffic, fish and game, pro hibition and other law enforcement bodies are all work Ing to a maximum of efficiency and being conducted in the most economical manner. The only fly in the ointment is that heads and mem bers of the several departments believe in consolidation, ao long as it does not include their respective depart ments They are possessed of an "holier than thou" attitude. Meanwhile taxpayers are bending lower under the ex cessive load, with hundreds of them signing pledges to go on a tax strike unless relief is afforded. At the same time members of the legislature are growing gray haired In a frantic endeavor to plug the leaks and pro vide sufficient money with which to operate the state, If there is anything more inconsistent and fickle than the human mind it has not been discovered. Tarkington Sees Pittsburgh Post-Oasette: There will be a treat public to rejoice with HiKiih Tarkington that his sight haa been restored by the operation which baa been con cluded In llaltlmore with the final removal of bandages. What ever section of America may have failed to appreclnt bis books and plays did not fan to recog nise the fortitude, pattern: and manhood which he put Into the fight for his eye. The struggle was a long up-hill affair. For many, perhaps, It would have ended last August, when he pass ed from declining vision Into total blindness. With him, the battle became the more Intense. Uo6th Tarkington occupies a special place lu American letters. To hla credit are some twenty six novels and seventeen plays, ten of the latter being written In collaboration. His first work. "The Gentleman From Indhtns." which still commands news rend ers and is an old friend In many a library, waa published In 1SS9; since then he had been an un flagging producer, tie was born In Indiana and his humor and outlook upon Ht are true to the Hoosler soil. Declining slsht did not dimin ish his powers for creating. It may be that he worked the hard er for the handicap. He called his work of dictating five hours a day easy In comparison with other years, when he wrote in lonp-hnnU. Those who know the uummrs oi mina ana memory which are needed for dictation unaided by tight may doubt the tre-h as they pay tribute to the co .ige which made the observation. MIIY ' AQiiiwcTnw ill TTER , Worried Over Prohibition Iimiic? Never Mlml, Ho Are Mnnter Minds ut Hie To Major Poli tical 1'arllea of the .Nation. BY ItODNKV DIWIIKU MCA Service Writer WASHINGTON- Nearly every-1 One aereea that nrohibition Drob-t ably will be the big 1931 cam- j Republicans have. hand, are almost certain to go wet. Nobody thinks they rouid carry a single one of the afore mentioned ! statea with a dry candidate. Political considera tions will decide their course lust as thev will dictate the Kepubll- can altitude. And In so far as the Democratic couventlon la concerned, the wishes of the drv south wilt have to be aacraflced to the end that the parly may assure Itself the hope of a lot of electoral Totes, The Democrats have a wide split on prohibition Just aa the Hut from tne paign leaue, but let s not be too i standpoint ot politics, tneir lost- i.'re that the next presidential j cal decision la comparatively ea.y election la going to eettle any-1 to maae. Legislative Responsibility TP the present session of the legislature fails to enact a measure which 'will drive ponderous trailers operated by motor truck companies from public' highways of the state, it will have failed in its duty. There is not an Individual who drives over the high ways of Oregon but who recognizes the extreme danger to which trucks and their trailers of boxcar dimensions subject those of the traveling public. There is not one but who recognizes the tremendous damage public highways are sustaining as a result of their' common use. While it is admitted that highways are constructed for commercial use as well as for pleasure, it was never intended that they be subjected to loads which their construction will not bear, and as a result of which de terioration and complete destruction are resulting many years earlier than were they used for moderate loads. Oregon has a system of highways of which its citi zens are Justly proud. They make motoring a joy and together with the splendid tourist attractions which the State has to offer, are attracting an increasing number of tourists year after year with a resultant profit to the state as whole. Let us not be so negligent as to permit their premature destruction by vehicles and loads which they were never intended to carry. Science assures us that fish make love, "bill and coo.'.' Sut not in public, which is in harmony with our frequent declaration that petting should be done In private, that it is nothing to look-at. Even the unblushing lovemaking of the screen rarely is worth the price of admission. Regardless of the boosting spirit of psychology, long ing for the unattainable is a source of unhappiness. "I believe in grumbling," says E. W. Howe, doss he believe in it he works at it. Not only A Woman's Idea The Pathfinder: Miss Frances Perkins, Industrial commissioner in New Tork. wrote to the Amer ican Institute of Architects urg ing that building plans in the future Include bigger and broad er window tills. There Is now. she declared, not enough room for the window cleaners to stand on. and ahe cited, the fact that last year no fewer than fourteen window cleaners tell to their death In Now York. Applying soap and water to the outside ot windows of fifty-story buildings is a precarious business. But the men taking the risks seemed to think little about It. and the men putting up the buildings had heard on criticism and had ac cordingly given the matter no thought. It took a woman, whose head Is never far from the heart. to tee the trouble and call for remedy. There fa room and need for more sympathetic, intelligent women In our official life. Here's A New Will Time: In Birmingham, Eng land, a retired manufacturer made his will, had a talking pic ture made ot Himself read in It selected tha friends and relations who will be invited to witness It after his death. Seating arrange ments are planned so that his lm age on the screen will speak to eacn individually as if In real life. His speech will begin: 'Now that I am dead. I claim the right to speak to yon impartially He will point ont faults and virtues of one and all, con- ciouing: "Ana now, my dear nieces, nephews and friends, I will bore you no longer. To save unpleasant lawsuits my soli citors win now reed yon a will in similar terms which you will find drawn np, testified and wit nessed in correct legal manner." BIRTHDAY BUC.GKKTIOX Young Lady (who haa looked at everything In the shop): Oh, dear! I'm afraid there's nothing quite suitable. Yon see, I want to give my husband a big surprise on his birthday. Clerk (fed up): Then whv not hide behind the door and shout Boo: at him? The Humorist. thing First, we must see where the master minds of the two major parlies are going to stand on the Issue. It that question has been bothering you a Utile, you can rest assured that It haa been giv ing a lot more worry to the mas ter minds. Your correspondent will undertake to explain Jut why. Among the Republicans, the most Important thing to consider Is the 19:11 attitude of President Hoover, who presumably will be renominated and will almost surely to able to tell hla party what to put In Ita platform. The latest Idea It that Hoover may campaign as an 'openmtnded," law enforcement president while admitting that prohibition la "on trial" and mar prove to be un enforceable. That was the atti-, tudo ot the two men on the Wlck ersham commission regarded as most likely to reflect Hoover's views. Chairman Wlchersham and Judgo Mackintosh. "Straddling" la Dangerous The campaign will be as good as uuder way before Congress can act on the cointnltelon'e re commendation, for more money, more men and other measures for enforcement. It will be easy then 10 argue that the recom mendations ought to be carried out before any derision la made na to enforceability. On the other hand, some folks would think such an attitude was Just another straddle and the dangers of atraddling on prohibi tion have been becoming in creasingly pronounced. It suc cessful, however. 11 would put off the day ot ultimata decision on prohibition. As far as prohibition la con cerned, the master minds ot both parties are worrying almost en tirely aboat the big northern stntcs such as New York; Illinois Ohio, Mareachusetts. New Jersey and Connecticut The weta won victoriea in all those states last November and the victories, ex cept In New Jersey were at the expense of the Republicans. They were very Impressive vic toriea, too. pry Face Handicaps Tha Republican parties In New York, . Illinois and New Jersey want pretty definitely wet, how ever, and although all tlx norm ally Tote Republican In a presi dential year there Is plenty of room fur belief that a roally dry presidential candidate would be likely to lose them all. A dry Hoover at tha head of the O. O. P. ticket, with hardly any other issues to help overcome the handicap In those statea, la an almost sickening prospect to many northern Republican poli ticians. Ot coarse. If prosperity were to return pretty soon with a rush and the Democrats were again to make the bad political mistake ot nominating a Catho lic, there wouldn't be to much to worry about Bat the Republican master minds can't depend on anything of the sort and so they are wor ried terribly. Mr, Hoover him self being the most conspicuous figure on the anxious scat Both the wets and the drys ot the party have been on hla neck late ly. In unprecedented numbera and with unprecedented Insistence. Hoover Is Raffled Important lcadera on both sides have been telling him that It la political suicide for him to firmly espouse the other cause and if Hoover Is sorely baffled by the question whether to be wet or dry, his feelings are easily to be nnderstood.

At that time It may have been true, but at the present time the North weatern'a circulation Is, ac cording to authentic Information. M0 dally. Of this number 100 copies are kept In the newspaper office, so that the circulation la in reality 740 copies, counting "dead heads" and news stand deliveries. Plans for a new Masonic Tem ple, to be built at the corner ot Sixth street and Klamath ave nue, are being completed. The plans call for an expenditure ot between 140.000 and ISO. 000.
