Wo mm woOld Assembly nominations be legal in Oregon (From tho Portland Daily Journal) Thoro wore good reasons why the lato loglslaturto refused to make as- Romuiy conventions mwiuit a uuiei ono is found in tho primary law it eolf. eSctlon 11 of that law says: "Every such political ijarty shall nominate all Its candidates for pub lic omcQ under tho provisions of this lawaid not in any other manner." And It is furthor declared in tho pre- qmblo qf said law that all quail fled roWtors who wish to servo the ijedplo in an electlvp public ofllco are rlgntfWy entitled to equal oppor tunities under the law." Naturally, tho legislature shrank frpm providing nnothor method of nqnynaupng, wnon inq primary mw iisolC explicitly stated that nomina tion's should not bo made, "in any other manner." To prpvido "any otTior manner" was to defeat the purpose of tho law, and it was u law nmdo and adopted by tho peoplo for tho purpose of providing a spec ific manner of nominating. 'That purpose carried with it, as tho pri mary law Iteolf declares, an Intont that "all qualified electors who wished to servo tho people In an olootlvp public ofllco are rightfully entitled to equal opportunities un der tlio law." Tho legislature naturally recog nized that tho preliminary conven tion or nsBombly, would "not glvo a'l qualified doctors oqual opportunity under tho law," and thnt to provide for such n gathorlng would defeat tho whole spirit, intent and nurnose of tlio primary law by giving and assembly candltlato Kroator onnor- tunity than a non-assembly candl- uatp ror tiu nomination. Conso quontly, the proposed preliminary assomuiy ror soioctlng cnndldatos to rocommond to tho peoplo was re--jectcd, and did not Wecomo tho law of the stnto. It would hnvo boon a monstrosity, because on its fnco It would hnvo boon in comploto antag- oniam to tno primary law, nnd in effect a nullification, If ot.nn actunl repeal of tho most Important pro visions of that law. It Is vory doubtful if a candidate npmlnutod and oleoted undor the proposed assembly convention plan could, were the matter carried to tho courts, hold his pasittion. It Is proposod to nialco tlio nssombly con vention a part or tho process of nomination. The business of tho assomuiy .convention is to mako the soloetlon, for tho argument is that tno poqplo hnvo not sonso onough to HAlnnt ''(It" n...ll,l., OKLAHOMA BANKING GUARANTY Provision Believed to Be Good Thing In That State De ' positors Protected. tho unlawful character of the as sembly program. It is proposed to defy fundamental provisions of a sovereign statute It Is proposed to rldo rough shod over tho will of tho olectorato as expressed In that stat ute. It is proposed to cheat the peoplo by subterfuge and unlawful proceeding out of the fruits of their comblnod authority as announced at tho ballot box. It is proposed to ropudlato a ballot box verdict, to kick over tho law of the land and to sot up personal governmont by a few politicians instead of lawful government by the peoplo. what kind of a governor would tho candidate of such a program mako? His official duty would bo to execute tlio law, and yet his ante cedents and means of election would bo ono of resistance to law. His duty would bo to servo tho people, ! 000. A Salem business man who be lieves in tho Oklahoma Banking Guaranty law, Is in receipt of a let ter which throws some light on the practical operations of the law. In tho course of tho letter the following statements of Interest are made: You, of course, know that cer tain bankers are trying" to kill the guaranty law because it Is seriously interfering with their business in states where it is in operation. As proof of this I enclose you condensed and comparative statement to show you what it is doing for them in Oklahoma. "Wo have had only two state bank failures in Oklahoma since this law went Into effect. The doors of the banks were never closed in either case and tho depositors got their money as fast as they called for it. "The Columbia Bank, and Trust Company fniled In September. They had deposits approximating $3,000,- In this connection I might yot his record would bo one of de- i du that this was the largest bank flanco to a people made law and an 1 UKinnoma, eiuier stato or na- Inslstenco that tho peoplo have no sonso onough to mako a proper law. and not sonso Knough to select "fit" candidates. It Is indeed a beauti ful program that tho promoters of tho assembly convention are prepar ing to forco tho peoplo of Oregon to swallow. "JOHN D." THINKS OF ORGANIZING DRUG TRUST UNITED TRESS MUSED WIItB.l Chicago, Doc. 15. That John D. Rockofoillor contomplntes establish ing a ohnlrt of drug stores through out tho country Is tho substance of a rumor current In wholesaio circles horo today. Many of tho by-products In oil preparation are utilized in the drug trado, and the Standard magnate Is said to have' laid plans by moans of which ho hopes to reap a doublo profit in his venture. Agents, bellovod to havo repre sented nockorollor, have boon visit ing different cities, and havo nego tiated tho purchaso 'of drug stores. While they rofusod to ndmlt thoy woro in Rockofollor's employ, tho rumor of his planning an Immonso drug morgor hns spread dapldly tional. I have reduced their bank balances from $1,300,000 to $127, 000, and am paying them as they call for It. You will be surprised when I tell you that this failure, largo as It was, not only did not in terfere with the financial Interests of tho city and state but the state banks In Oklahoma City, whore the failure occurred, havo gained more than 33 per cent in deposits. I mention this as never before in the history of banking has such a thing occurred. '"Wo had a national bank failure In this city C years ago Avlth less than half the deposits that the Col umbia had and thoy have only paid tno depositors ?.()( on the $1.00. "Wo assessed tho stato bankers of 1 per cont when this bank fulled, which will not only bo re turned but nil tho rest of tho guar anty fund which was used. "Our guaranty law Is now strong er In this stato than ever as you know nothing succeeds llko. success. THE PEOPLE GOT THEIR MON15Y, "We havo had two nationnl bank fnllures sinco this law went Info ef fect. Since tho failure of tho Col umbia two national banks hnvo convertod to stato banks and two soloct "fit" cnndldatos Its wholo purposo thoroforo Is to Hloot, and selection thoroforo Is the vital and paramount part of the nominating process. It Is tho only important function In tho procoss of nominating, nnd If dono by an ns ombly convontlon composed of dol agntoH, It Is a manifest violation of nootlon 11 pf tho primary law. which says. "Evory such political party shall npinlnato all Its candi dates for public pfllcV" undor tho pro visions of this law, and not in any other mannor." it violates aguln that provision in tho pronmblo which says, "All qualltflod oloctors who wish tp sorvo tho peoplo In an olootlvo public ollloj aro rightfully entitled to oqual opportunities undor tho law," a provision that would bo completely violated in Bonding out fpr ratification a soloctod party can didate, rocommindod by tho nssom "bly convention who would bo glvo. opportunities for nomination that nro donlcd othor cnndldatos.
