WHERE MIR. UREN ERRs.

w. :. Uren complains Of the move
to do away with the practice Of en-
gaging men to circulate initiative and
referendum petitions for hire. In a
letter to The Portland Journal he says
that none of the progressive laws Of
Oregon would have been enacted had
men not been employed to circulate
petitions.
What Mr.. Uren says is probably en-
tirely true yet the fact need not in
fluence the present agitation against
the circulation Of petitions for hire
TIE agitation against hiring petition
c!rculaJors has to do with the present
and The future not with the past. The
direct primary law, the recall and the
corrupt practices act are duly enact
ed. They cannot be affected by the
change.
What Is wanted is to stop the pIac-
ing of so many initiative measures up
or the ballo, and to curb the use Of
the referendum. The ballot should
not be 2urdened each election with
a miscellaneous assortment of bills.
many Of them Of a strictly local nature,
as were The county division bills. The
schools Of oregon should not have to
wage q constant fight with those who
would refer their appropriations. The
opposition to the school approprl-
atiors comes from ignorance. selfish
ness or q desire for reyenge-nothing
else.
Do away with circulating petitions
for hire and these abuses will be alb
onshed If a large class of citizens
throughout the state do not wish q
measure passed they will not circu-
late the petitions for it. If a large
element does not wish a bill referred
+. VIII not be referred. At the pres
ent time a single man, if he has the
money to employ petition circulators,
may referendum almost any bill that
may be passed by the legislature. A
single man with sufficient money may
initiate most any sort Of measure. It
Is a system that invites chicanery and
legislation for revenge.
IN arguing agaist barring paid Pc
ution circulators Mr.. Uren assumes
there is more money available for pro-
noting good legislation than bad. He
Is wrong in that assumption.

1T WOULD BE BETTER.

s Why should the tariff be a political
football which must be kicked either
T. the goal Of a trust making pro-
tective tariff or to the other extreme
"a tariff so reduced that many i'm
rortant industries may be crippled?
When will the country adopt the
policy Of maintaining a tariff COM
mission which will have the power to
gather data and order tariff changes
in the same manner as the interstate
commerce commission enacts changes
ia railroad rates? Changes in rates
are usually brought about by degrees
and the transportation companies are
saved the injury that would resul,
from a radical reduction. The inter-
state commerce commission Is able
70 do this because It is always a,
work. II does not act spasmodicalIy
Advocates Of a tariff commission
point out that with such a commits
sion at work changes in tariff sched-
ules could be brought about withou,
disrupting business in the least The
changes could be made gradually and
Sufficiently far In advance as to give
business men ample opportunity &c

SKETCH OF w, s. FIELDING.

Canada's minister of finance, the
Hon. William stevens Fielding. has
.e-ently become a figure of great in
t-rest to the industrial forces of the
United states through his recent ac-
tivities in conducting negotiations
concerning the reciprocity treaty now
under fire Mr.. Fielding is native
of Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he
began his career at 16 as an office
boy in the service of the Halifax
Chronicle 1t took him four years
10 become a leader writer on that pa
per. and at 27 he was its editor. He
entered politics in 1882, and two years
later became premier of Nova Scotia
He was appointed to his position by
Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1895, and he
is now 81.
Back in 1884 when ne was called
unon to form a ministry, few outside
1f Nova Scotia knew who the new
premier was, and his rise to the chief
place in the political ife of his native
province seemed meteoric in its sud-
denness. And yet. unknown outside
~ Halifax. a Mr.. Fielding was at that
time. he had for no short time been
considerable factor in the public life
VI his province, for he had many
years Occupied a prominent position
on the Chronicle, and it was his edi-
torial work on behalf Of the liberal
party that had risen him to so high
/ q position in it's esteem.
Mr.. Fielding's success as a politi-
clan may be attributed in large meas
ure to his unbending integrity; not a
! single charge can be brought against
! him that would in any way reflect on
| his private or public character, or on
/ his management Of provincial affairs
| As a public speaker his principal
/ characteristics are his remarkable
, fluency and clearness and his practi-
cal, business-like treatment of his
| subject In debate he is remarkably
! telling. being quick to see and avail
! himself Of any weak points in an OPP
ponent's argument.
He first became really known to
the Canadians west Of the Maritime
! provinces at the great liberal conven'
ton at ottawa in 1893; he took an ex'
ceedingly prominent part in the dis
| cussion at that great gathering ant
won the highest opinions by the sense
I and clearness Of his arguments.

discount the changes. German tariff
schedules are revised in this way and
the plan works well. The consumer
is protected against injustice and at
the same time the tariff beneficiary
is given a better chance for his life,

FIRE PREVENTION
FOR CHICAGOANS
Especial to the Tribuneo


CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Fire preven-
ton to stop an annual fire loss Of
over five million dollars in Chicago
is likely to be given / trial houeh
the finance Committee mas appropri-
ated only $4,000 for the expenses of
the fire prevention bureau. Put
ting out fires has become too expen-
sive. The plan proposed will give
the chief OF the fire department an
authority which will enable him 20
save life and property by require.
ments known to be effective and me-
cessary, but which under tn present
system the fire chief and his in
spectors are powerless - insist upon.
The finance committee has ascer-
tanned that practically 81 IL per cent
of the fire losses in the United ota.es
are preventable Judging by the Euro.
pean record of fire losses. Berlin
with a population of 100000 as
compared with the 2,225, 900 in Chi
cago averages a fire loss of $150,000
year in comparison with over
$5,0Q0,00O in Chicago Notw4thstand-
ing the holocaust at the stockyards
in which Fire Marshal Koran and his
men were cvitims of inadequate wat
er pressure the city las not remedied
that lack although the budget of the
water committee now includes an
expenditure Of 1919 900 for the stock
yards district. All European cities
observe strict measures for fire pre-
vention the result of which is seen in
an average per capita fire loss in
Germany, France, Switzerland, Den
mark, and Italy of about IS cents in
contrast to 1925 IN the United
States. It is hoped that the expendi-
ture of $4,000 will show such big
results that mere adequate provision
will be made.

4 SnaiI's Tongue.

A snail eats by rasping of small par
ticles with the tongue. This tongue is
a narrow band or ribbon with pointed
teeth set in rows across it. The COM
mon slug, often found in damp places.
has more than 25,OOO teeth on the
tongue, which act like the ridges on
a file and scrape the food into the
mouth. l once watched with mag
nifying lens a small water snail feed
ing as it slowly crawled up the side
Of an aquarium. and, although I made
no very accurate count, the tongue
seemed to be pressed against the glass
about forty times 4 minute. ~

Uncle Sam has genuine interest in
the welfare of the farmers of North
Dakota, and that interest is taking
on a material form through work in
Walsh and Pemplna counties, where
land owners are being taught. each
day in the year, thar they must turn
from the one-crop farming system to
the diversified plan If they wish 70
reap the greatest benefits. The COW
is the medium through which success
in the greatest measure will be a.
tanned according to the federal gov
eminent, and in order that the farm.
ers may realize that fact AN expert
has been assigned to duty in the two
counties, and he is the man VINO is
bringing to the filters of the soil the
knowledge that greater things are l
store for those who adopt the diversi.
fled farming plan.
Night SCHOOLS and weekend schools
for farmers, in which they are given
an opportunity of studying modern
farming questions. are medium
through which the educational cam
paign has been carried on. In the
construction of modern farm buildings
Fred w. Merrill, the federal expert
in charge of the North Dakota work,
takes the place of a supervising archi-
tect, free of all cost to the farmer
And in helping him care for his cattle
in teaching him how to select and buy
stock, and in instructing them how
to keep records of them and thus be-
come thoroughly conversant with the
actual results achieved through the es.
tablishment of the dairying industry
as a farm feature. The expert de-
votes his time and energy without
compensation from the man benefited
the government bearing all such ex-
penses.
Through the work which it it is
doing in Wash and Pembina counties,
the two farthermost north counties
of the Red River Valley of the North
the government is hopeful that farm
ers of the entire state will become In
