It is to be hoped that Mr. Wilson
will not class Mr. Bryan with the
United Blates Senators, whom he
said had "pigmy minds.”

We wish that the democratic ad-
ministration would
quit talking
about lowering the high cost of liv
ing, for every time it does so the cost
ot living goes higher.
We would like to improve a little on
the dairy inspector’s slogan: “Ail
first grade cheese and no seconds in
1920.” Just the cart before the horse
in the inspector’s slogan.
o-------
Whoever is the next county judge,
the completion of a hardsurfaced
road through the county should be
the slogan until this is obtained. It
is good business, and good economy
to put as much effort and road
funds into that as possible.

•The supreme court has decided
Governor Olcott can fill out the en
tire term to which the late governor
was elected. The supreme court was
divided, with a small majority in
favor of Olcott inheriting a job to
which he was not elected, This de-
prives the people of Oregon of voting
for a governor at the next general
election. Who said the people ruled
in Oregon, and with the governor
sticking to two political Jobs?
K. E. Brodie, editor of the Oregon
City Enterprise, has decided not to
make the race for secretary of state.
That, no doubt, is good news for the
candidates who aspire to that post
tion, for Mr, Brodie’s editor friends
had intended to boost him for that
position. Public office looks tempt-
ing at times, but, after all, the news
paper field is of more importance,
for it is the editor who molds public
opinion in the county or state in
which he resides.
closely paid up in taxes as Tilla
mook City, on the 1918 tax rolls,
there would be a very small delin
quent tax list. Anyone looking over
the formidable looking tax list can
come to only one conclusion—that
there are tqp much delinquent taxes
owing the county. It seems a little
strange, with money so plentiful and
local conditions never better, that so
many persons have allowed their
taxes to become delinquent. As usual
beach property owners are the great
est sinners, and as they are the peo
ple who clamor for road Improvement
they should be the first to pay their
taxes. We will refer to the delin-
quent tax list later, pointing out
some of the beach property owners
who seem to think that it is the
other fellow' who should pay their
taxes and not them. We are heartily
in favor of the movement to force
delinquent taxpayers to pay up, and
failure to do so. their property
should be sold to cover the indebt
edness. Repealing the law- doing
away with the publication of the de
linquent tax list seems to have had a
bad effect in Tillamook, for the
county has the biggest delinquent
tax list in the history of the county.

There is this difference between
Bryan and Wilson. The pearless
leader believes that it is right and
proper that the United States Senate
should have a right to pass upon the
treaty of peace and the leage of na
tions covenant, for that is our demo
cratic form of government. Mr. Wil
son, who has ignored the Senate, be
lieves that his personal treaty and
league of nations should be accepted
exactly as
it was brought front
France. It is all very well for the
presidetn to talk about making the
world safe for democracy, but in the
United States he has assumed the
position of dictator.
The Commoner says: “Is ratifica
tion to be defeated by a Democratic
majority? Can the Democrats help to
escape responsibility if they prevent
a compromise? It is mockery to talk
about favoring a league of nations
if we favor only such a league as is
satisfactory to a minority of the Sen
ate. We cannot go before the people
on such an issue. The Senate is a
constitutional body, and the right ot
a majority to rule applies there as
elsewhere. The people can change the
Senate if they do not approve of its
course, but a majority of the Senate
cannot disregard the w ill of the ma- i
jority.”
