NO WORKMEN'S COMPENS =
TIoN LAW WITHOUT DIRECT
LEGISLATION
By Marcus Day

II we had responsible government
in Idaho we could then secure a work
mems compensation law based upon
justice to all parties, but until there
is responsibility it is futile TO expect
legislature to pass anything that has
not had its teeth pulled by special in
terests. There is much more pecun-
iary reward in betraying the public
than in serving it under the present
system. Every time the proposition
has come up before the legislature a
few honest public servants have work
ed tooth and nail to get this needed
legislation only to meet with vexa-
tious regret that they were helpless
in the face of majority who felt no
responsibility to the people who elect
ed them. Even without direct legisla-
ton it would be possible to get SER
vice from a legislature if it felt Sc
cure in its position and was paid a re-
compense compatible with business
principles. 1t is useless to expect
service from a nondescript OF men,
poorly paid and feeling that they are
uncertain Of occupying public posi-
ton more than one two-year term
Such sytem is the very antithesis of
efficiency
But the initiative, referendum and
recall is much better than any trust in
legislative servants because when
measure comes up for vote by the
people under it the mind is concen-
trated upon this one measure and the
reasoning power is brought more fully
into play During a legislative session
there are so many measures before
that body that the general public has
its mind distracted by so many con
f1icting measures that it becomes dis
gusted and loses interest altogether.
1t will know much more concerning
the merits of any measure i'll its rela-
ton to the general public than will
legislative body. This has been prov
en- in all states where the principle
of direct legislation have sCen put in
to operation. In majoritN of cases
the most powerful opposition to the
principle comes from public service
corporations who have a well-organiz-
ed lobby at the state capital during
legislative session. Direct legislation
if it be genuine, will sweep away all
Hobbies because the legislature will
have no power to sell and lobbies will
be a waste of money and time.

THERE SHOULD BE A PENAL
TY PUT UPON INDIFFER-
ENCE
By Marcus Day

A preferential primary, TO be effec-
tive, should be nationalized iii such
a manner that it arouses the public
mind to the importance of the institu-
ton. There should be a national hol-
iday when it is put INTO operation and
failure to participate in nominations
should bar out of the Immediately
following election all delinquents.
The only people who really count po-
Iitically are those who are alert to the
essentials and take active part in gov
eminent, but it is as futile to expect
= stagnant mass into energy without a
penalty as it is to drive lazy animal
to speed up without a prod or whip.
The citizensip who have been impor-
tuned to take part in nominations will
thank their drivers after they have
formed the active habit and will be-
come active in pursuading others who
have been more negligent of public
duties Unless there is some sort of
penalty attached to indifference there
will continue to be indifference in
spite OF supplication. unless there is an
unconventional appeal in the form of
amusement and entertainment resort
ed to in such manner that the apathet-
ic attend for the purpose of enjoy
ment. But this form OF attraction
rather degenerates the purpose of the
primary and would give it too much
the circus feature. If a penalty is put
into force for the non-participation in
primaries those who refuse to take
part in them are just the class that
should not vote at elections. MANY of
them losing rights at one election will
not becaught mapping at another and
join the multitude who do for the
sake OF pride. if nothing else. and will
not be long until practically all Join
except that impossible brother to the
OK" who can be joyfully disregarded.
The great monopolists who rule thru
apathy of great numbers of people
would be smothered in one election
if the Indifferent at nominations were
kept from voting because the great
bulk of this class are completely ig-
norant concerning economic issues
and do not realize the meaning of

CAPTAIN c. A. MURPHY
IS WARDEN OF PRISON
Selected by Board This Morn
ing for the Place---Is
Well Known Here

Charles A. Murphy, formerly cap
tain OF Company NJ, Third regiment,
Oregon national guard, was chosen to
be warden of the Oregon state peniten-
tiary this morning at n twenty minute
session of the board of control.
| Captain Murphy is now chief enSin-
ecr at the eastern Oregon branch of
the Oregon state hospital at Pendleton.
He was one of the numerous candidates
who filed application with the board
of control. lie will take charge of the
penitentiary Immediately upon accept
ance of the appointment and arrival in
Salem.
1t is generally conceded that the
board could not' have chosen a more
acceptable man to fill the extremely
difficult position of warden. In 1898
Charles Murphy was second lieutenant
of Company X in the famous Second
Oregon United States volunteers. This
was the Salem company. He fought
through the Spanish american war and
the Philippine insurrection and gained
distinction as q competent officer.
In 1899 he was commissioned to or
ganize q provisional battery from the
members of the regiment. This he com
manded and received high commenda-
ton from Major General f. S. Otis for
the services he rendered.
After the war was over and the See.
ond Oregon returned he was elected
captain of Company NJ, which position
he held until about 1909, when he re-
signed. A short time later he was ap-
pointed superintendent of construction
at. the new branch hospital at Pendle-
ton and practically built it. He was then
made chief engineer.
Captain Murphy, while commanding
officer Of Company NJ, was regarded ns
the most efficient officer in the Third
regiment and was held in high esteem
BY the men under him. With his ex-
perience in army discipline and in lead
ing men. he is believed TO be the right
man to bring order out of chaos now
existing in the penitentiary.
That the job of warden is gold
brick is generally conceded and at most
thankless task However, in view OF
the events of last Friday, when the
convicts demanded n change of admin
istration in what was near-riot in
the prison chapel, they were not con-
suited as to who should be warden over
them. 1t had been unofficially suggest
ed that perhaps solution Of the prob
lem would be to have the eonvicts
choose one of their number to be war
den,
The vote of the board of control at
the meeting this morning was as fol-
lows: Governor Withyeombe and Treas
urcr KAY for Murphy and Secretary Oh
cott for Frank Meredith, former see
retary of the Oregon state fair.
In voting for Meredith, Secretary
ulcott said he believed he was o thor
ough business man and capable lead
er of men. Meredith who was not can
didate and had filed no application.
Sheriff Esch, whose name was men
toned as a possible candidate, had
made no application for tho position.
A delegation from Portland presented
the cause of Deupty Sheriff Fitzgerald
Of Multnomah county to the board.
