There still remains much to be de-
sired. Astounding charges have been
published in the form of sworn and
signed affidavits. If the affiants
have not forsworn themselves, cor

the people of property and profits that
belong to them alone
what the legislative investigation
during 1909 and 1910 disclosed in re-

clear that it was high time to substi-

The meeting between the two was
pitiful. All who witnessed it We're
impressed with the mans innocence,

woman for bringing trouble and no

Now the state good roads associ-

pecially to the state aid law. Under
the terms of that law as finally pass
ed the highway commissioner is CIV
en- no substantial authority, so it is
claimed. Yet would it not be wise to
take what is to be had in the way of

approve the repeal of the Tuttle law

wallow in the mire for two years to

4 MINED SITUATION.

What a mix up the reciprocity
treaty has produced. Drafted ap-
parently with the hope that it would
restore the administration to popu-
larity it looks like it will only serve
to make the president more unpopu-
lar. He is charged with favoring free
trade in agricultural products but
protection for trust made goods. The
price of wheat has already declined
because of the prospect that the treaty
may be made, so it is charged.
Then look at the supporters of the
treaty. At first it was bitterly op-
posed by the standpatters and the
treaty was forced through the house
by the progressive republicans and
the democrats. Now the senate
standpat leaders announce themselves
for the treaty.
What sort of game is this? II
would be interesting to know the in
side particulars regarding the same,

A STRANGE LEGAL CASE.

Fine questions of law and right
shade into one another with a nicely
difficult to unravel, IN certain phases
of double personality.
John Anderson was a fairly pros
porous farmer, who rented some
eighty acres in one of the corn pert
states. He had a wife and family
with whom he lived in perfect accord,
as we'll as with his neighbors. He
was hard-working, prudent and saw
ing, and as sound in intellect as you
or l. Owing to the delicate health of
one of the children, and for reasons
Of ambition, he conceived the idea of
going to southern California to buy
an orange grove, to have a home of
his own, and live in peace and quiet
with his family for the rest or mis-
days. His frugal habits and contin-
uous toll had provided enough for
this purpose, so he went on alone,
with the intention of sending for his
family as soon as he could find the
kind of place he wanted. For some
| time letters were received at frequent
intervals; everything seemed to be

AN IMPROPER MOVE.

Actuated seemingly by a desire to
take revenge for the defeat of Nesmith
county some Cottage Grove people
are busy with a move to refer the
University of oregon appropriation.
They should drop the scheme at once.
Oregon has had enough anti-school
troubles already. To refer the uni
versity appropriation will only fur
ther disgrace this state with the edu-
cational world.
It is true that the university has
been given a large appropriation. It
might have been the part of wisdom
for the university people to have ask
ed for less. Then there would have
been less danger of the referendum.
Still the use of the referendum in
this matter is inexcusable. Oregon
can well afford to give the university
all the money it properly requires
and the same is true of o. A. C. and
the normal school. Money spent in
maintaining good institutions Of learn
ing is money well invested. Every
time.
The fact that the referendum move
ment was started in Cottage Grove
makes it look especially bad. 1t lays
the movement open to the charge
that it is prompted by a desire for
revenge. II they are out for revenge
then the Cottage Grove people are
making improper use of the refer
endum and they should call the
movement off. II they go on with II
they will merely bring defeat and
discredit down upon their own heads

SAVE THE STATES WEALTH.

How to use state lands with view
to getting the maximum benefits from
the same is both a problem and
task. In this state Governor West
has a plan for creating a state forest
out Of the base land that has not yet
been utilized by the state. 1t is a
meritorious move for it looks to pre-
serving the property of the state.
That state forest will become very
valuable some time and will produce
revenue that will do much towards
maintaining the schools of the state.
Better 10 save the states timber than
to let It go for a song to the timber
monopoly.

This state still owns an immense
area of public land and timber. Effi-

resources for another generation will
result in giving Washington fund 80

public schools and relieve the tax
payers from this expense.
