BUSH CRITlCISES GOVERNOR.

The interview Of Hon. A. Bush, the
pioneer Salem banker, on the present
financial situation, is the most lucid OF
any utterance yet published, says the
Eugene Guard. TO those who know
the man, it will carry conviction and
they will heed his advice Mr.. Bush Is
q banker of the old school, honest con-
servative and clear headed, who never
allows his vaults to be depleted nor
INDUCES in speculative investments,
and when he tells the public to go
ahead with its business and let this
little furry have no more than pass
ing notice, he knows whereof he
speaks.
In brief, Mr.. Bush says the Port
land bankers induced the governor to
do an unwise thing in proclaiming the
special holidays, and that Oregon is
prosperous and solid, requiring a
large volume Of money for her enor-
nous crop movement the shortage Of
cash In some Of the banks being for
this reason, a sign rather of prosperity
than the reverse.

The Dallas Observer says: 1T is
doubtful il one voter in dozen took
time to read the Initiative and Refer
endum amendment before voting for
it, and it is doubtful if any consider
able number of them have read it
since" Is that an objection? 1t is
doubtful il any considerable number
Of voters have read the constitution Of
Oregon, or the constitution Of the
United States, but is that a reason for
abandoning either? Not one person
in a thousand has read the Bible
through; but is that Il sufficient reason
to destroy it, and to kick the whole
system Of Christianity oyerboard?-
Portland Journal.
No But the more one reads the
Bible, the more good one finds in it,
The more one reads the Constitution
Of the United States, the greater be-
comes ones respect for the wisdom Of
the trainers Of that immortal docu-
ment. Not so with the Initiative and
Referendum. The more the people Of
Oregon study that amendment, and
observe its practical workings, the
more they realize that George Brownell
and Bill U'Ren handed them a life
sized gold brick.
