SELECT FINE BELGIAN
Dallas Horse Attracts Attention of
o. A. G. Officials.

The authorities of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College have decided to breed
the two handsome imported Belgian
mares belonging to that institution to
the big Belgian stallion, Louis de Mon
creau, owned by the Dallas Belgian
Horse Company.
These mares are large chestnut
roans, weighing over 1900 pounds
each, and were imported from Belgium
by H. c. Campbell, a well-known Port
land breeder.
1t has been the policy of the Ore
gon Agricultural College to breed its
mares to the best horses on the Coast.
and the selection of the horse, Louis
de Moncreau, is a compliment to the
pure-bred livestock interests of Polk
County.
Louis de Moncreau is one of the best
Belgians ever imported into this
country and his owners are more than
satisfied with the attention which he
is receiving from breeders this year

OREGON'S GREAT NEED
Continued from Page One)

by the electorate was required for the
adoption of constitutional amend
ments.
oregon's s Constitution Disregarded.
1t can thus be seen that the present
constitution of Oregon is practically
abandoned, for it is wholly at the mer-
cy of a single Initiative petition and
may be amended or abolished by a
plurality vote at any election The var
ious amendments that have been add
ed to the State Constitution since
1902, together with the present lax
system of amendment, warrants the
statement that our present Constitu-
ton is practically dead letter, and
in addition to this it may be said
without fear of successful contradic-
ton that majority Of the provisions
of this antiquated document are being
violated every day. Four proposed
amendments were submitted to the
people by the last Legislature and the
Initiative will furnish another batch
at the coming election. If any consid-
cradle number of these proposed
are adopted, our Consti-
tuition will bear a still greater resem-
bance to a crazy quilt than it does at
the present time. Unless some check
is put upon the present system Of |
every election will bring
forth its harvest of initiative amend |
ments to be voted upon by the people,
Nl,nro ~, L.
at haphazard fashion, with
out any definite plan or purpose, to sat
sfy the demands and whims of self
appointed lawmakers. AS the frag-
nent of our organic law now stands,
t is without plan or purpose, without
full of contradictions and
provisions that are null and void be-
.ause they are in conflict with the
federal Constitution. A constitution
$ supposed TO be an instrument de-
igned to protect minorities, to guar
Intee certain rights and to insure a
epublican form of government. Does
he Oregon Constitution do any of
hese things? Under its present pro-
isions, is there any guarantee of
epublican form of government The !:
My Constitutional Protection enjoyed
y the people of this State today lies
n the Federal Constitution. But as {
hat instrument bears only indirectly
pom important questions such as the
Iabeas Corpus, the Right of Trial by /

tent, the people of Oregon are prac- S

AN ABLE ADDRESS.

Perhaps no more able argument has
been, or will be presented, in favor of
Ia Constitutional Convention than that
contained in the address delivered by
Hon. C. N. Macarthur before the Ore
gon Bar Association in Portland last
month. Having made an exhaustive
study of the Constitutions of the sew
eral States, as well as the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and being
thoroughly familiar with existing po-
litical, commercial, social and indus
trial conditions in his home state,
Speaker Macarthur conclusions as to
The need of a revised Constitution for
Oregon are to be commended to the
earnest consideration of every voter.
In addressing the Oregon bar, Mr..
Macarthur asked that it be distinctly
understood that his appearance before
that body was not as a representative
of the State administration, with
which he is at present connected, but
rather as a member of the Legislature
that passed the bill calling and au-
a Constitutional conyen-
ton
As the people of Oregon will be
called to pass upon this bill at the
coming November election, the 0bser-
YER believes that Mr.. McArthur's ad-
dress will prove helpful and instruct
i've to every voter, and that the light
thrown upon little-understood, but
vitally-important, public need will
ead to further investigation and con-
,ideration by the electorate and thus
,esult in well-eonsidered and safe de-
,ision at the polls in November. For
his reason, the address will be printed
n full in the columns of this news

in Dallas well-nigh perfect, and this
Improvement it is hoped the company
may see its way clear to grant at 10
distant date--that is, change in the
switchboard arrangement that will
make it possible to dispense with one
set of instruments in the offices and
homes of subscribers. The mainte-
nance of two telephones is little less
than a nuisance, and any change that
will make it possible to do all talking
with one instrument will be hailed
with joy by every patron of the COM
pany.
BY consolidating the two central
offices, the Dallas telephone company
has taken long step in the right di-
rection. A further Improvement that
will make it possible to dispense with
one instrument is all that is needed
to win the appreciation and lasting
gratitude of every phone user in the
CITY.

CAN ONLY RECOMMEND.

Certain noisy critics of party as
sembly declaim as if the Republican
assembly next month will select all
the candidates for nomination and as
Iif other candidates will be barred out
But Republican voters are not Sc
stupid. as to be misled by this false
talk. Assembly candidates will be
placed on the primary ballot just the
same as other candidates; the several
aspirants for nomination will appear
in alphabetical order without regard
to recommendation either of assembly
or of other bodies of citizens; regis
tered Republican voters will cast their
nominating ballots for the men of
their choice; the voters will not be
driven like cattle nor compelled to
swallow any "dose.
Democrats and their 'Ren-Bourne
allies will not profit their political
schemes through faIsehoods about as.
sembly and primary. The truth is that
candidates Of the assembly will appear
on the primary ballot in the same way
and on equal terms with all other as
pirants for party nomination Voters
will then choose the men they want
for Republican nominees.
Assembly candidates will be vouch-
ed for by the testimonials and the
recommendations of a representative
body of more than 1900 Republicans,
in addition to the thousands Of Re
publicans who will sign their primary
petitions. The people are to judge
whether these recommendation shall
be worth considering. The Oregonan
believes they will win approval of the
Republican electorate.
1t has reached a pass in Oregon
politics where aspirants for Office
should be examined by a body of rep
utable citizens as to their fitness for
the public service. These citizens
should not belong to one class of bust
ness, or trade or industrial interests
they should be comprehensive of the
whole voting population within a po-
iitical party. Republicans will hold an
assembly fully representative of every
locality within the state to study the |
qualifications of seekers of Office and |
