upholding the Huerta version will not
set we'll on the stomachs of freedom
loving Americans. His behavior is not
in accord with the best traditions of
this republic. 1t would be interesting
to know the full facts as to our gov
ernments attitude during the recent
revolt and what part it had If any in
destroying the lawful and liberal gov
ernment of Mexico and bringing on
this reign of tyranny and murder.
Our hands may be perfectly clean and
ii so the fact can be shown. If the
new administration finds that such is
not the case but that the United
States was a party to the overthrow
of the constitutional government of
Mexico there may be good reason for
this country to intervene, not to pro-
tect American investments but to re-
store popular sovereignty in Mexico
and thus right a wrong committed
against the people of that bleeding
and unhappy country.

NO plan for reformation of the leg
islature can amount to much that does
not call for payment
Reforming the to the legislators of
Legislature. salaries in keeping
with the time they
should devote to the public business
and in keeping with the important
work they have to do.
There has been abundant experience
in public affairs, city, state and ma
tional, to establish the following
principle:
WHENEVER THE PEOPLE FAIL
TO PAY PUBLIC OFFICIALS SAL
ARIES COMMENSURATE WITH
THE WORK THEY DO THEY RUN
A CHANCE OF LOSS FROM THE
FACT SUCH A COURSE TENDS TO
KEEP GOOD MEN FROM AC-
CEPTING OFFICE AND PROVIDES
A CONDITION UNDER WHICH PO-
SITIONS OF TRUST BECOME
FILLED BY MEN WHO VIEW
LIGHTLY THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO
THE PUBLIC AND WHO DESIRE
FIRST OF ALL TO SERVE SPECIAL
INTERESTS WITH WHICH THEY
ARE CONNECTED OR BY WHICH
THEY MAY BE EMPLOYED.
The present legislature illustrates
the truth of the foregoing There are
members in both houses who are not
there to serve the people at all. They
would not have gone to the trouble
and expense of getting elected for any
such purpose. They sought election
because they wished to do some par
ticular work for someone OF some
special interest. They are special
agents, not legislators The payment
o. proper salaries to legislators would
tend to correct this situation in that
such a course would make it worth
while for disinterested men to seek
election in greater numbers than at
the present time. 1t would tend to
fill the legislature with men for whom
there would be no reward of any sort
save what they got from the people
and therefore they would serve the
people more faithfully than is done at
present.
1t is also time to eliminate partisan
politics from the legislature. With
direct election of United States sena-
tors now fully established in this state
there is no longer any necessity for
partisan Legislature. The work that is
done by the legislature is of business
nature and can be performed most
satisfactorily in the absence of parti-
san strife. There is no more need of
partisan legislature in Oregon than
there is of partisan city council in
Pendleton or in any of the other towns
of the state.
The people of this state have long
bScii III NhC iIdDil VI ulSIeSdIulHB party
politics when they elect a governor
and they could we'll carry the plan
farther and choose legislators on
nonpartisan basis. This could be
brought about by eliminating party
names from the legislative ballot.
Had the present legislature been
selected without regard to partisanship
il would not have devoted its time
ard energy trying to harrass the gov
ernor and trying to escape from en-
actment Of meritorious measures pro-
posed by the executive.
When the treacherous Huerta and
the Mexican tories who are making
use of him smugly assert
Needless the killing OF Madero
Hypocrisy. was the result of an at
tack to rescue him they
offer insult to injury. The murder
was official and of that fact no one
can have the slightest doubt. The
cheap hypocrisy of those who claim
otherwise is not pleasing and the ac-

Realty and BUILDING Fiaures.

Real estate transfers and building
operations continue to hold up well as
compared with last years. A com
parison of figures for the thirty
seventh week Of 1918 with the CORE
spending period in 1912 shows that
realty transfers were only 20 less in
number and s2,1S6 less in amount,
while building permits lost only l
in number and S6,112 in amount.
Cancellations were nearly double,
which shows little trouble in meeting
mortgage ad loan obligations.
