RING MUzzLED.

The delicate touch of master poll
ticians was visible in the actions of
the Umatila county senators, Pierce
and Smith in the organization of the
senate. So far. this diplomacy has
passed unnoticed by the papers of
the state.
The division of the machine" and
"anti- machine" senators of the re-
publican faith was so close. that it
lequ'red the assistance of the DEM
ocratic senators for either side to
win. Grasping this situation at IL
glance, the democrats, although less
than half a dozen in. number, ma
nipulated the organization, so that
while the machine" won the day,
outwardly, It made concessions in
committee appointments and in
promises on legislation. which actu-
ally amounted to a victory to the
democrats, considering their small
minority.
Nottingham, the anti-machine can
didate for president of the senate
was supported by the democrats, and
had the Kuykendall forces not con-
ceded to the demands of the anti
machine people, Nottingham would
have won the day, but rather thar
tie up the senate for day, the Not.
tingham forces and the democrats
accepted the concessions granted by
the Jack Matthews crowd, and sac
rficed the presidency of the senate
to the good of the state.
Even though the Portland machine
won the day, from all outward ap
pearances, yet it won it at the price
! of some of its most cherished ideals
and the state is better off becaus,
of the deadlock of "a hours.
/ Without the democrats assistance
che Nottingham forces would hav,
I been showed under and the arrogan
/ machine would have held ever!
point of vantage. To Umatilla coun
ty is due the honor of preventing thu
triumph of the Portland ring. in th'
organization of the senate.
The legislation of the session viii
be influenced by the diplomacy o
Umatilla county.
1t is almost certain now that tn
Portland crowd will not tamper will
the direct primary law, nor the ini
tiative and referendum. The bill
vetoed last session by Governo
Chamberlain will not be passed owe
his head at this session, it is thought
and taken from a legislative stand
point, the machine had its wing
=, clipped about right.

It is now up to the o. r. & n. to
show its interest in Pendleton by
either selling or leasing its vacant
lot at the corner of Main Ind Rail-
road streets, for the erection of a
theater building. 1t is the only va
cant place left in the city, it is not in
use. and is evidently held for specu-
lative purposes. If the right people
offer the right price. the o. r. & n
should either sell or lease or do bet
ter-build upon the land itself.

property of the state, gives irrigation
a place among the state departments,
concentrates the authority in capa-
ble board of commissioners, who
shall have jurisdiction to adjust diff
ficulties and grant water rights and
really places irrigation on a distinct
basis. as one of the great arms of
the industrial interests of the state.
The Pierce bill encourages specu-
lation in water creates an owner
ship in water that cannot be used
by the appropriator except as a
marketable commodity, while the
Cole bill makes the water appurte-
nant to. and part of the land, AND
MAKES USE THE ONLY PRoPRIE-
TORSHIP.
The Pierce bill says that an appro-
priator may by posting a notice on
stream. become the owner of any
amount of water not used by prior
appropriations. thus placing the water
i'm every stream in Oregon at the
mercy of private ditch and irrigation
corporations. to the exclusion OF the
actual settler. while the Cole bill says
the water is part of the land, that
any title to water must be founded
on use, and that no appropriation can
claim or acquire title to water that
the land which he owns does not need
nor require.
The bill formulated by the irriga-
ton commission and presented by
Representative Cole, conforms to the
ideas of the reclamation department
on the subject. 1t is practically the
same law in force in Idaho today
and it is something near the form
that must be adopted by oregon, Il
she expects any irrigation by the gov
ernment.
on this point several times within th'
past year.
The time has come for the or
ganization of the irrigation industr!
in oregon. 1t may cause losses t.
private owners. So would the Dust
ing" of the beef trust cause losses t.
. private owners.
! 1t is fact that cannot be lodged
that the government is determined Il
make water a part of the land, an,
thus destroy all speculation in tina
which belongs to the people.
( Oregon can either get on that ba
sis. or make up her mind to foreg
the immeasurable benefits to com
from the government irrigation o
her great tracts of idle arid lane
which cannot be handled by privat
capital.
The East Oregonian has the high
est regard for the aims of both c
the bills, and knows that the plan
proposed are the best thought of tn
leading citizens of the county an
state. but there seems but one of tw
things to do, THAT Is TO GET l,
) SYMPATHY WITH GOVERNMEN
, SENTIMENT, OR QUIT TALKIN
OF GOVERNMENT IRRIGATIO
; FOR THE STATE.

Had Senator Mitchell remained si-
lent. the people would have said that
Silence gives consent" and that the
charges must be true. The least he
could do, and preserve his dignity
and honor, was to call his accusers
liars, and overshadow the littleness
of their assertions by the greatness
of his oratory.
