THE OREGON SYSTEM.

The State of Oregon is said to have
the best system of popular self govern
ment in the world. 1t has the Austria
lian ballot pure and simple, with none
of the makeshifts that have been de-
signed to silence the popular demands
for ballot reform 1t has strict registra-
tion laws, initiative and referendum, an
iron-clad act against corrupt practice,
all of which insure an absolute govern
ment by the people. Under this system
every tub must stand on its own bot
tom, political bosses can not thrive, ant
the people have confidence in the law
Mansfield Enterprise.
This is possible in Oregon, but not ii
Louisiana, at least, until the people shall
become self-assertive. In Oregon there
is no city, as New Orleans, with seven
teen Ward Bosses who dominate in pol
itics and who, with their allies in tht
parishes. dictate the policy Of the State
but FITS up TO the people who must de
termine when the rule of the Bosses
shall be superseded by the Oregon sys
tenn.

THE TAX ON INCOMES.

After wrestling several days with the
tax on incomes, the issue as presented
to the General Assembly of Louisiana
for ratification is to be referred to the
people at the elections to be held i'll
November. The people, unlike the Leg
islature, will not be ,evasive, and the
answer will be, as it should be, an en-
dorsement of a measure which, if ii
should become a part of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, will compel
bond holders and bond clippers to pay
their share of taxation to the govern
ment, as is exacted from the masses
whose values, liable to taxation, is Wis
ible and therefore always in the reach
of the tax gatherers.

WE MUST PROTECT OUR GIRLS

WE MUST PROTECT OUR GlRLS.
New Orleans Picayune: There is an
active movement in the State Legisla-
ture to change the child labor law SO as
10 allow little children on the theatrical
stage.
This law is not perfect, but should it
be made the subject of a general revis-
ion there is no question that great harm
would be done in the end to the little
ones whom it is intended to protect.
To relax the law SO as to allow girls
under the specified age to appear on the
stage as a business there is great dan
ger that it would lead finally to condi-
tions demoralizing and injurious IN the
extreme. Today the American people
have become greatly aroused on the
subject of the decentralization and de-
praving of young girls, and to make the
movement for their protection worth
anything it must commence with female
children. They must not be surrounded
bv circumstances that tend to undermine
their modesty and purity Our people
are prone to shut their eyes to abuses
until they become a stencil in the public
nostrils. It is then too late to accom-
plish any good with hue-and-cry We
must start with the very beginnings oi
the evil, and prevent the possibility Of
contamination
