PATRIOTIC TALK HEARD.


CONTINUED from page one.)
ed" So they expressed themselves
and they meant that a government
should be and do what the people
want, no more and no less. They did
not believe in ruling class or divine
ly appointed guides.
Our government began as a free
contract between independent states.
None were forced to adopt the con.
stitution. 1t was invariably adopted
by a free vote of the people. New
states have always Joined the union
by free contract The admission of
new state is a political bargain,
promises made on both sides.
Oregon's government began in the
typical American way, by voluntary
agreement among the people. They
were living in arcadan anarchy, de-
cided they needed a government and
met and formed one. all a matter Of
contract.
Thus our national and state govern.
ments began and have continued by
cCntract among the people, deriving
their sanction from free consent and
rot from force. Shall we now militar-
ize ourselves? Shall we desert the old
american ideal? Why?
Contract Is MOdifiable.
Some even claimed that the con-
tract madp by state was a dissoluble
one but the civil war disproved this,
However. the fathers made it a modifi'
able contract. They held no theory
that a government once established
becomes too sacred to be changed.
When governments become oppres-
siye, when they no longer express the
peoples will then it becomes the right
and duty Of the people to change or
abolish them.
The fathers of the republic prOyid-
ed for change in the government by
constitutional amendment and many
changes were made both in national
and state government
There can be no progress without
change Opposition to it comes from
those who profit by inwrought evils,
by those who have acquired vested
rights in the evil.
How can a government express the
wishes and serve the needs of the peo-
pie unless it changes? What Jeffer-
son meant by his statement that the
best government governs least" was
that the best government depends
least on force and most on service.
Governing in his day meant using
force.
The fathers drew no fixed line be-
tween what government ought and
ought not to do. They held that the
government ought to do everything
that the people want done but must
first be sure that the people do want
IT, The American ideal of prepared
negs in government Is that It shall ex-
press the peoples wishes and serve
.he peoples needs.
