A LOCAL APPLICATION.

The move to oust ]. w. Bailey from
the office of food and dairy commits
sioner is a move for competency in
the public service. Bailey is clearly
an unfit man for the position he holds
and he should have been kicked out
years ago. He has held on through
politics, not because he has conduct
ed his office upon a meritorious basis.
But it now looks like he will get what
is justly coming.
In the fate that is in store for tins
particular relic of the old political
system there should be a warming for
others. Those who are mixing peanut
politics with public affairs should
take heed of the hand writing on the
wall. If they don't they may soon
find an investigating finger pointed
towards them.
This is a warning that may we'll be
needed by public officials in this
county. The merit rule must apply
to the work of county commissioners
as we'll as to the state food and dairy
commissioner.

HOW SENATORS ARE MADE.

There are those who fall back up
on the constitutional provision and de-
clare that the plan devised by the
founders of the government is still
good enough. But they forget the
factor choose to ignore it-that our
present way of electing senator's is
grotesquely different from that ,hich
the constitution prescribes and in
tends. The constitution intends, and
means to prescribe, that the entire
legislature, including every individual
member of it, shall take part in the
actual choice of a United States sem
ator. AS a matter of fact, under the
existing system, a senator is usually
not chosen by the legislature in any
true sense. He is chosen by the party
caucus of the party which has a ma
jority of the members of the two
houses of the legislature on joint bal
lot. 1t is regarded, under the pres
ent system, as virtually necessary for
legislators elected in the usual way
on a party ticket to enter the party
caucus and to abide by the result
Thus, if the legislature has $50 men,

FOR THE GOOD ROADS BILLS.


AS people investigate the good
roads measures now before the legis-
Iature opposition to those bills melts
away. This is perfectly natural be-
cause as a matter of fact the bills call
for exactly what people want. 1t is
a burning shame that there has been
SC much misunderstanding upon the
subject
The good roads bills call for the
construction of permanent highways
and if those bills pass such highways
will be constructed. The measures
place a premium on activity. The
various county courts will say what
roads shall be improved. The only
restriction imposed is that the roads
must lead to principal market places
10 the county or connect with some
permanent highway leading to such
market places. There is no provision
for any cross state highway. That is
a bugaboo.
In meeting its share Of the expense
a county may pay its money out of
current funds or it may raise the mon
ey by a bond issue. The matter Is
optional with each county. 1t is also
optional with a county as to whether
or not it takes advantage of the state
at huf M
foot Of permanent roadway unless it
wishes to do so.
Now as to the state highway COM
mission about which many are fear
full. Every precaution has been taken
to guard against graft and ineffici-
ency. The members of the highway
board will draw no salaries. The only
paid man is the highway commits
sioner who is to be given salary Of
$4,000 per annum. He is to have sup
ervision over the roadwork done, but
will not designate the roads to be i'm
proved save to see that the roads are
selected in accordance with the law
which prescribes that they must be
roads leading to some market place
ir the county where the work Is done
Some people want the state engi-
neer to do this work. But the plan ID
foolish because the state engineer is
an irrigation engineer, not a road
builder. He devotes his time to
Strengthening out tangles over water
rights. To give him supervision over
the road work would be like picking
out sailor to drive a span of mules.
The only objection Of any merit that
can be urged against the state aid
p plan is that the expense does not seem
to fall equitably upon all the coun-
ties. But then no thoroughly equit-
able plan of roadbuilding has ever
been devised and no such plan ever
will be devised unless we want to go
back to the system Of allowing each
individual to provide his own high
way.
tionably as fair a measure as can be
devised and It should be accepted.
Under the terms Of that bill Multno-
NAH county suffers the greatest in
Justice. Multnomah will have to pay
approximately 100000 of the state
aid money yet will not get one cent
back. Still the Portland people are
not complaining. On the contrary
they are taking the lead h advocating
the passage of the state aid bill and
kindred measures.
Surely Umatilla county can well af.
