A CORRECT PRIMARY LAW

A primary law is wanted that don't
permit twice as many Republicans to
vote as there are Republicans In the
precinct.-Salem Journal. The way
to fix that is to enact a law requiring
voters to register in towns the size of
Salem and Eugene before they can
vote at the primaries Eugene Regis
ter
The Journal Is correct, a primary
law Is needed TO apply to every county
and incorporate towns in the state
and should be promptly enacted at
the next session of the legislature

Mere registration will not effect a
reform. In Portland the voters regis
tered but the bosses made the states
and the rest was easy for men like
McGinn, Matthews, Ready, ct al.
Nothing but Direct Nomination will
cure bossism and machine methods of
railroading the minority out of exis-
tence.
Under direct nomination the people
would be trained to reform abuses
and reform fellows out of existence

pie would be trained to do right.

pRoeRrss oE rAe PEOPLE.

In spite OF the warning offactlons and
the corruption of politics, the people
OF Oregon can get some progress out
of the situation. The last legislature
passed a law that candidates for the
senate can be put on the Australian
ballot, and voted on at the regular
election.
The amendment to the constitution
should be adopted at the June election
giving the people direct legislative
powers. While the bosses hope that
will be a dead letter, there will be
some good got out of 1t.
The third great step in the develop
ment of popular government is direct
nomlnatlon--really the first and most
important Of all--because the bosses
have the power to nominate they are
still in the saddle.
With the general use of money and
corporation influence, and the corrup-
ton of the primary by ofnce-seekers,
conventions are no longer representa-
tive.
With the election of senators taken
out of the legislature, with the power
of direct nomination in the hands of
the people, and with direct legislation
Oregon would be a model government.
While the government will never
rise much above the virtue and patriot
ism of the people, 1t should be at least
as good as the people, and that is not
now the case, owing to corruptive sys-
TENS.
With systems in which the people
will be trained in the right direction.
and away from the corrupt practices
of leadership that rests on Doodle, the
people will be benefited, instead of
demoralized.
Politics In Oregon is fought out by
the people on very small margin of
success for honest men or decent
measures What little progress is Sc
cured in the way of better govern
ment will be gained by the people
holding onto a large-sized club of In
dependence, and using 1t to the end

THERE IS NO scUTTLE PARTY IN
OREGON.

The Portland Oregonian misrepres-
ents the Democrats of Oregon in say
ing their platforms on the Philippines
represents a policy of 'scuttle.' Their
platform does not advocate abandon
ment OF the islands.
On the contrary. It takes intelligent
and patriotic ground in favor OF as
sertlng American sovereignty in trade
relations TO give us the benefit of
their commerce instead OF taxing It
for the trusts. This is advocated by
men like Corbett and has been the
policy Of Mr.. Scott until his recent
flop.
On the Philippine question the plat
form says:
"The inhabitants of the Philippines
have petitioned for free trade with the
United States and the request has been
seconded by the Philippine com
mission and the sentiment of the
American people, yet the Republican
congress refuses any proper relief.
but enacts a tariff law for those Is
lands more burdensome and less de-
fensible than the acts of the British
parliament against which our fore
fathers rebelled
"The policy which makes one law
for the Hawaiian islands, another for
Porto Rico, and another for the Phil
ipplnes, cannot be upheald on any
ground except that of subserviency to
the sugar and tobacco trusts.
Our insular possessions are either
part OF our country or are foreign
territory II part Of our territory,
the people are entitled to the same
trade conditions and privileges that
are granted any Of our territories. We
believe that the true policy is to pre-
pare the people Of those islands for
self.government as speedily as pos
sible, and when so prepared, TO grant
them independence, retaining such
coaling stations and ports as may be
necessary to protect these islands from
foreign interference and 20 maintain
our trade relations with the Orient.

HARVEY SCOTT ON
STUMP SPEAKERS

In an editorial on the candidates for
governor the mouthplece OF the pres
ent dominant faction at Portland has
this:
"Mr. Furnish is a man of ability, OF
character and OF force. He is not a
stump speaker. which is no defect, foI
your stump speaker is usually shai
low man, whose fiatulent eloQuence
confuses the matter OF discussion and
dRrkens knowledge"
Without reflection on Mr. Furnish
who has said he will take the stump
in his own behalf. the above is not
complimentary to men like Mr.. GeeI
who are relied on TO carry elections In
states like Ohio and Oregon.
After all is said and done. public
discussion cannot be done away with
and maintain free institutions. Talk
Is among freemen the avenue for full
est presentation aud the channel for
reaching conclusions.
IL Is public speaking that carries
great national campaigns. In Oregon
men like Tilmon Ford, G. b. Moores
Willis Duniway, and even Geer have
more than once helped materially
save the day for the Republicans.
That does not make them shallow
men, whose mental flatulency wroks
injury TO the cause of good govern
ment II the above slur ON all stump
speakers were true, Il Is a question
II n Is not hOnester and better In all
ways 20 carry an election by such
shallOwness than by use OF money.
OF course state that had only one
great man. and he the editor OF the
only great paper. ana that editor In
control OF the dominant faction, and
make him In addition u s. Senator.
NO speakers are needed
One great mind would be the whole
thing and all the rest could be mere
silent citizens reading what is put at
them, dumb and driven cattle" But
even Oregon is not yet In that state
OF perfect political yassalage. In the
meantime the people win hear some
stump speakers.

INVESTIGATE IT.


Before the board Of supervisors
changes the manner Iof working
the public roads it should make
some investigation into the con-
tract system before adopting 1t.
We see that 10 several counties
the contract system has proven a
failure, and we don't want the
wealth of our county IN the pub
lie roads.
The working of a public road IS
a great problem. What will be a
success in the hills will prove a
failure in the Delta, and vice versa.
We think that for a few years yet,
or until more white people settle
in the county, 'the present road
working system is the best and
cheapest, provided the board OF
supervisors sees to it that the
overscers do their duty.
