A MUCH NEEDED . COMMISSION.
Amon? the bills to go into the Oregon legislature ia one for a
commission to save steps.
The farmer and the farmer's wife waste a great many steps
in going about from place to place. :
The laboring man, it is estimated by a commission sharp,
wastes about one-fourth of his steps.
The steps wasted are so much dynamic force lost, and all
added together amount to millions.
Millions of horse power are wasted and lost by - this process
and a commission on conservation of steps is wanted.
Such a commission, with an appropriation of ten thousand or
so, could save the people all this lost force.
It is believed that even school children can econemize oh the
steps now wasted that could be put into more athletics.
The los3 of energy of taxpayers going to the court house and
? hiMIing around to raise taxes could be minimized.
: JTJe primary object of all commissions is to protect the tax
payer, and this grand idea is one of them.
Let the Marion county delegation get behind this idea and
taxes will come down a whole lot.
A GREAT VICTORY FOR TAFT.
The North Dakota primaries were a great victory for the
Taft managers.
To be sure Taft did not get many votes to speak of, but there
was a grand moral victory.
Just what moral principle the machine crowd are represent
ing has not yet appeared.
A great agricultural state holds primaries, and the people,
alxwt 20 to one, vote for men opposing Taft.
Taft managers, it seems, do not need the votes of the people,
and will elect some way, if they can only nominate him.
That was a great Taft day up in North Dakota, when Taft
got about one vote out of three hundred.
SENATOR KELLAIiER IS A LIVE ONE.
The appointment of Senator Dan Kellaher, of East Portland,
to a place on the Public Docks Commission was a good one.
The live senator from Multnomah county will also be a-can-didate
for re-election, and his election is beyond doubt.
He is the champion of an idea that means a great deal for the
development of Oregon industries and jobbing trade.
It is that an American dollar shall buy just as much trans
portation going east as coming west to this coast.
Senator Kellnher is a man of force and original ideas and that
kind of men are not hanging on the bushes in Oregon.
IMPROVE SOCIAL CONDITIONS.
A Cottage Grove paper says: "Social conditions in Salem
among the young boys and gMs seem to be somewhat of a char
acter not to be desired."

Regarding the children your children. The
romping, rollicking, out-of-door life that your
children will enjoy if you take them to live at
Kingwood Park will mean more to them men

you can possibly do,
( Your home in Kingwood means the estab
lishment of a practical playground, where
they can enjoy play that is play,
You may look east, west, south, north and
you can't find the equal of Kingwood in this
respect in addition there is a good school
right at hand and with plenty of fresh air and
an abundance of crystal-clear, pure water at
all times, tho yougstcrs will grow and
thrive in a manner- that will more than sur

It Is not alone because of the ideal location
or the extensive improvements or the low
prices and easy terms or the promising in

It is rather "the wonderful combination" of
all of these things,

suit of some of the wild statements made by a. transient evan
gelist here recently.
The man may be excused, as he had to have sensationalism of
some kind to hold his crowds, and he could attack the character
of the children in a mass with safety.
. His addresses probably poisoned the mind and embittered the
life of the woman who killed her children and then herself in
the mad fear that they would all be ruined. !
But the evangelist's wild statements and the woman's wild
deed should be taken advantage of to impress people with the
need of bringing about better conditions.
Those conditions cannot be improved by irresponsible howlings
but must be changed by careful constructive work, reaching in
to the homes and improving conditions there.
The extension of industrial education, putting a more serious
purpose into the lives of our children, cutting out idleness and
get-rich-quick propositions, will help. "
A closer bond between the school and the home development
of the neighborhood center and uplift work . will help change
things. .

THE, QUESTION IS WHO SHaLL RULE.
In our state affairs the question is whether the legislature
shall represent the taxpayers or the taxeaters.
In national politics the ijucstjon is shall the machine element
control, or shail popular rule b" extended.
Party control for purposes not of good government, but of ma
chine rule for spoils and plunder, is the issue.
The fight being made by the Taft campaign managers against
direct primaries is fully outlined by Judson C. Wellver.
Revolt is being stirred, in every section of the Union, against
the effort of the Taft campaign management to suppress the
demand for popular primaries.
Already the question of whether the people are to have any-
thing to do with the management of the Republican party has
superseded all other issues in the pre-convention fight. '
The Taft forces in many states are directing every energy to
prevent primaries; legislatures are being dragooned, office
holders are being set at work to intrigue against the popular .
expression being taken, and big business is using its influence
at every point. .
The situation is critical, the leadership and the following of
the national movement for restoration of the rule of the people
are just realizing how grave it is.
If Taft is nominated, then, no matter whether he is elected or
not, the reactionary crowd will have control of the Republican
party's machinery for the next four years, and that machinery
will be employed in every state, in every possible way, to prevent
the extension of popular government measures.
To secure the support of the most reactionary wing of the
party, the president has turned the complete control of. his can
didacy over to the Cannon-Crane-Lorimer-McKinley element of
the party.
To keep control of the party machinery they must nominate
Taft.
They wili keep that control, if they nominate him for four
years more; whether they elect him or not.
They regard 1912 as a very likely Democratic year.
The most they seriously hope to save out of the wreck is the
control of party organization.
To save that, they are willing to sacrifice the party's chance
of electing the president this year.
They know Roosevelt would be elected if nominated, but they)
would rather have the country go Democratic than see Roose
velt elected.
This kind of talk is heard more and more freely indulged, day
by day and week by week.
The increasing bitterness of the pre-convention campaign has
induced a measure of frankness not before displayed.
The fight, so far as the reactionary people are concerned, is
for control of the party, vastly more than the administration.
If we nominate Taft, these men argue, we lose the adminis
tration to the Democrats'; but we keep control of the party ma
chinery. If we let Roosevelt be nominated, we loose the administration
to the progressives, and the party machinery goes along.
It is beginning to be questioned whether the president fully
realizes the extent to which this disposition amounts to a be
trayal of himself.
Even the forces that have been lined up for Taft don't feel
any enthusiasm, any real fighting loyalty to him.
He is a figure-head; no more.
They are fighting for party control in 1910.
One of the commonest observations heard among them is that
this progressive business has got to be put down, and if the par
ty gets licked in 1912, it will be ready, by 1916, to accept the
leadership that promises to bring it back to power, and drop all
the progressive ideas and programs.
So the fight of the Roosevelt people for primary expressions
of presidential preference this year ha3 suddenly assumed the
huge significance of a contest to save the great movement of
popular n-'v eminent.

FHASK I.FTSON (ilVKS IMEI1ESTIX1 AITOI NT OK WHAT HE SAW
AND l.KAltKl MKIM1 HIS NIX MONTHS' VISIT OX THE PACIFIC
COAST THE COLDEST WEATHER WAS 80 AlfOVE.
Frank Letsor who Is connected
with the Klleudule National Hunk,
write for the homo paper, the North
Dakota Record, about his trip to Ore
gon, and about Salem. In spite of
the damaging statements made by the
Portland tabor Council about Oregon
there Is a constantly Increasing num
ber of arrivals from tho east and the
good opinions of the people who
have located their homes In Oregon
more than counteract the slanders
circulated agalnut this state. Hut
read what the conservative Ellemlule
banker :
Ktlllor Record: As you asked for
my opinion of the western country
after spending the winter there, will
give you some of my Impressions as
a result of experience.
My i(a and I bought our tickets
over the Milwaukee to Seattle last
Nor., and from Seattle to Salem we
traveled over the Great Northern. Th
Milwaukee Is a very nice route to
travel for passengers wishing to stop
at Spokane can stop at Rosalia and
take, an electric car to Spokane, the
fare being paid by the railway. The
rlile. Is about an hour and a half.
Spokane la a great city of about
100,000 Inhabitants. They rail them
selves "the Inland empire", and the
city probably has more millionaires
than any other city of Its slie In the
I'nlted States. Ther count their
wealth by the amount of the mining
stock they own, and figure It 100 cents
on the dollar. They are also credited
with selling $6,000,000 worth of liquor
the past year.
Portland Is the largest city In Ore
gon, and has about 2,"0,000 Inhab
itants, and they are all boosters. They
have Just Btarted a crusade for a
greater Portland, the plan being to
sell 10,000 Greater Portland buttons.
This Is something on the plan of lift
ing yourself by your boot-straps.
At Portland you take the Great
Northern Electric railway, for Salem.
This rotd will soon be pushed to
points further on. A train runs every
two hours to Salem.
Salem Is a town of about 20,000 the
state capital, county seat, etc. It Is
located on a river In the center of a
beautiful valley. Nature has prob
ably done more for this -alley than
any other spot on earth and Salem is
probably the moat beautiful city In
Oregon. They can boast of having
more good people of middle age than
any other town or Its site In Oregon.
Salem pays a net profit to Portland
companies of at least $10,000 per
month on Its street railway, electric
and gas lights, water system and tel
ephone companies. If Portland gets
as much of a rakeoff from the other
near-by cities in Oregon she surely
ought to be "great". But the good
people are waking up. They recent
ly elected a city council which raised
STAYTOfl
TO AMEND
CHARTER
Samuel H. Heltzel, of Stayton, has
been in the city for several days look
ing after business connected with the
proposed amendments to the city
charter of that thriving little city. A
special election is to be called there
soon to adopt or reject the amend
ments proposed by the citizens, the
legal part of which has been attended
to by Mr. Heltzel. If the proposed
amendments carry It will be possible
to make street and other Improve
ments and have the cost thereof made
a lien against the abutting and ad
jacent property, the same as is provid
ed by the Salem charter, under what
Is known as the Bancroft act.
Should the election carry it is the
Intention of the city council to begin
proceedings at once to improve the
streets and during the coming spring
and summer there will be considerable
street work and other Improvements
undertaken In that progressive city.
A supply of extras liable to be
needed while the teams are In the
Held will save time temper and cash.
It takes faith to remove moun
tains, but shovels help a whole lot.
