selfish advantage, and enable him tc
appeal more directly to his constitu-
ency upon the basis OF faithful SER
vice. 1t cannot fail in the main to
prove a strong barrier against the
efforts of those who seek by determ-
ining the selection of candidates to
pervert administration to the service
of privilege or to secure immunity for
law breaking. 1t is a reform which
is instinct with the spirit OF our insti-
tutions."
Another and very practical argu-
ment in favor of the direct primary
as it applies to the selection of sena-
tors is that by taking the selection Of
senators away from the legislature
that body is allowed to devote all of
its time to matters of legislation. This
is no small matter in a state like Ore
gon where the legislature meets only
every other year and then for but 40
days.
If we are TO have a fight on the
direct primary. let it come. Oregon
will never give it up.

AT WORK AGAIN.

Those who are anxious to see the
woolen mill revived will be glad to
learn that the committee is again
busy with the work of disposing of
the bond issue that is being floated
to raise local money for financing the
enterprise.
During the recent storm it was
found difficult to accomplish any
thing and the work was deferred
temporarily. Now that the bad wealth
er has passed the committee is TAX
ing the matter up again and the neces-
sary amount will soon be raised.
Pendleton wants the wooden mill re-
built and placed in operation again.
1t wants it done quickly so that the
mill may be operated the coming
summer. Then let the business men
and property owners Of the city as
sist in raising the local money that is
needed. The situation is up to Pen

LET 1T COME.

Already the Portland Oregoniar
and several lesser partisan sheets have
taken up the fight to annul the direct
primary law at the next state elec-
ton. Chagrined because Governor
Chamberlain received the popular
vote for senator last June these pa
pers would take from the people the
right to select United States senators.
Every statement No. republican is
to be opposed hereafter, and if pos
sible defeated; in the primaries if
possible. if not in the primary, then
in the election" declares the Orego-
nian.
But these papers had as we'll try to
stop the tides that roll in from the Pa
cific. The adoption of the direct pri-
mary system is logical step in the
political progress of this republic.
Our government is a democracy, so
intended at least. But experience has
shown that under the old system OF
electing senators the upper house of
congress has become an oligarchy de-
voted to the protection of special in
terests. 1t is fast becoming in a class
with the House of Lords which
blocks the path of advancement in
Great Britain.
The remedy for the situation that
exists lies in the direct primary.
Through the direct election Of sena-
tors only may the United States SEN
ate be redeemed and made truly rep
At present the only way we may have
the direct election Of senaors is by
requiring legislators to take oath that
they will ratify the selections made
by their people.
"The time has come, believe" de-
ciared Governor Hughes in his recent
message to the New York legislature,
"when nominations by all parties for
elective offices should be made di-
rectly by the enrolled voters Of the
parties respectively.
This will promote true party rep
resentation. 1t will tend to strength
en- and dignity party leadership by
making it less susceptible to misuse
and more in accord with general party
sentiment. BY increasing the direct
Influence Of the party voters their
participation in party affairs will be

COMMON FAIRNESS.

The principal objection to the cleo
ton of Governor Chamberlain as sem
ator comes from the fact that he is a
democrat. 1t is admitted that he re-
ceived the popular vote and that the
legislature is sworn to elect him. Yet
there are some who try to argue that
/ he should not be chosen because he
is a member of the minority party in
oregon. But this is the argument of
those who place party above the
state-of- men who in their narrow
ness believe, or pretend to believe,
that a bad senator chosen from their
own party would be preferable to a
good senator from the opposition par
ty Right minded men reverse this
order and place their citizenship
ahead of their party fealty. They
realize also that both parties are
working for the same end, the good
Of the state. These men would pre-
fer to see Governor Chamberlain
made senator than to have the toga
go to less worthy aspirant although
a republican.
But it is bad grace, for sure, to OBJ
ject to Chamberlain's election by the
legislature after he won out last June.
The fact that he overcame normal
majority of $4,000 or more, shows
that the people of the state want him
for senator and that he deserves the
office.
Aside from the fact that they are
sworn to choose Governor Chamber
lain for senator tomorrow, the men,
bers of the legislature have many
other reasons for electing him. He
is the logical man for the position, in
view of the peoples endorsement, and /
ii will be but common fairness to
elect him.

WAGES WILL
BE REDUCED
Steel Trust to Make d Sweeping
Reduction in Wages to Offset
the Rate War.

The general understanding
throughout the country is that
plans already have been formu-
lated by the Steel Trust for "A
general reduction of wages to take
effect on or about May lst. A re-
duction of wages by the Steel TMIst
will immediately be followed 4
similar reduction in all the in
dependent mills.
The report is that unSkillcu
labor will be cut about 10 per cent
and that skilled labor will suffer II
reduction of between 10 and 20
per cent.
1t is considered significant that
the officials of the Steel Trust not
only do not deny that general
reduction of wages is contemplated
but that they answer all Inquiries
concerning the matter by stating
that there will be no reduction be
fore May lst, anyway, and that
the whole matter is dependent
upon the action taken by Congress
in regard to the reduction of the
present excessive tariff duties.
AS to whether the steel work
will stand for the proposed re
duction is another question
During the period of hard times
which has been prevailing for
| nearly two years, the Steel Trust
has been doing what it could to
| destroy the labor unions and weed
out all union men from its plants
The spirit of organization, how
ever, is still strong in the Steel
Trust plants as well as in the
mills of the independent producers
and it is predicted that if the pro
| posed wholesale reduction of wages
is put into force in May, a general
strike will be the result.
| Organized labor in the stceI
trade has not as yet taken any
action upon the threatened wage
reduction. Labor leaders do not
i expect any such action to he ta<er
until the question of tariff rcduc
ton on steel comes up befor,

for the amendment. Prohibition
