Why Should The Progressive Party
Help Any Other Party? 1t Should Seek
For Victory For Its Own Principals

No nolitical party within pro
gressives and it's conservatives. Current shows
that the Progressive party shares the lot 1t
those who fear because Of the
ces and those who would move regardless of the
quences EDO nominate a ticket says element
in the Progressive party at the meeting may
help the Democrats
fELet nominate says another element. s'Why
should we help John T. King?'
But why should the Progressive party nominate to
help anybody to hurt anybody. Has it peculiar
of its own? Has it political program it seeks
effect? We think it has IF it has, it should
proceed do it's best to make its will effective This e
the only way which anything worth while be done,
by trying.
We are sure of this It is law of life that there
shall be action When a dies, action ceases. When
parties cease from action, they die.

We note that the so-called tentative platform was

The tentative platform carries full hedged double

We fancy that when the Progressives get down to
business they will make real platform in which will be
embodied at least few of the real issues which the Pro

tor, flour mill and storehouse were

sembled the dust explosion in the
Hustled MILL last June, in which q
large number of workmen were killed.
There were three explosions in rapid
succession and then the building burst
into flames.
OF six of the wounded taken to the
hospital, one is likely to die. He is all

The hop market had another lift
Thursday, going up a cent and is still
climbing. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that the price will not stop short of 20
cents, and how much higher it will go is
matter of individual guessing. Re-
ports from England and the old country
hop yards show steadily falling esti-
mates, and they are not alone on this,
for here in Oregon the yield is now es-
timated at about 100000 bales as
against the first estimate of 145,0OO,
and this may be too high.
Wheat is unchanged, but firm. The
government report shows the potato
crop is about IS per cent below that of
last year. OF all the states, Maine
alone shows an increase over last year.
The total production of the United
States last year was 414,2S9,0O0 bushels,
Oregon's crop is only per cent below
normal, and last year was one per cent
above. The total yield in 1912 for the
state was 10,3S5,00 bushels. The peach
market is demoralized. Tomatoes are
scarce and firm at from so to 65 cents.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
BY COMMISSION

You voters of Salem will probably be
called upon in the near future to vote
ON whether we will have the commission
form of government for our Cherry
City or not. To vote intelligently YOU
ought to know something about this
commission form of government, and
the public library is the place to find
out. The library has been able to sup.
plement its own collection along this
line by special collection from the
state library, so the material now
available is especially valuable. There
are not only general books about com.
mission government, such as Bradford's
Commission government in American
Cities and Bruce's New City Govern.
ment, but there are also charters of
many cities which have adopted this
form of government, such as Tacoma,
Grand Rapids, Mich, and Dayton, Ohio.
We also have the Iowa law, under
which the city Of Des Moines operates,
There is one book which is especially
worthy of mention, and that is Charles
A, Beard s Loose Leaf Digest of Short
Ballot Charters. It is absolutely up to
date, the list Of short ballot cities be.
