peace:
That all nations are equally inter-
ested in the peace of the world and
in the political stability of free peo-
pies and equally responsible for their
maintenance.
That the essential principle of
peace is the mutual equality of ma
tions in all matters of right
or privilege.
That peace cannot securely or
justly rest upon an armed balance of
power.
That governments derive all their
just powers from the consent of the
governed. and that no other powers
should be supported by the common
thought purpose or power of the
family of nations.
That the seas should be equally
free and safe for the use of all peo-
pies. under rules set up by common
agreement and consent, and that, so
far as practicable, they should be ac-
cessible to all upon equal terms.
That national armament should be
limited to the necessities of national
order and domestic safety.
That the community of interest
and of power upon which peace must
henceforth depend imposes upon each
nation the duty of 1eeing to it that
all influences proceeding from its
own citizens meant to encourage or
assist revolution in other states
should be sternly and effectually sup
pressed and prevented.

THE RENAISSANCE OF A COW TOWN

Umatilla the famous old town on the Columbia where
in early days the freight wagon and pack mule received
their loads for the mining sheep and cattle camps which
in the earlier days about the only things in the way
of settlement in the far Inland Empire has within the
past few days undergone radical change in its city gov
ernment The town where in its pamiest days woman
was as scarce an article Bible has become the first
gynecocracy in the United States. At the last election
the mayor and all councimen elected were women, but
there are two hold-over councilmen who being mere
men, have been not only told but shown that they are to
have but little to say regarding the conducting of the
cys affairs The mayor by the way had her husband as
an opponent in the election and beat him to FRAGILE
The new mayor, Mrs Laura j. Starcher, is true to
name for she put starch in her brief message which she
by the way asked one of the male hodovers to read and
then she appointed her committees all OF which are COM
posed entirely of The mere male was not given
aook in and the council its business well with
out as with them All they have to do is to do what they
are told and the regime being mostly married
women are capable of telling them just what that is.
AS beginning in economy the mayor refused to ap-
point marshal saying the city had no use for such an
animal and that his salary would help pay for better
street lights which she asserted the city would soon have
as she would the company furnishing the lights got
busy and kept that way.
Considerable interest has been awakened in the new
departure and the result of real womens government
will be closely watched AS prelude to the kind of adj
minstration the city is to have the mayor remarked: IF
did not believe every in this council was as COM
petent as any man ever sat in it. would resign right
now" From which, and her handling of the situation
from the start it is fair to presume that Mrs Starcher

REPORT GIVES ROADS AWAY

The report of the Public Service Commission to the
governor filed Tuesday, shows more clearly than any
other thing the discrimination against Oregon in
the way of furnishing for shippers This report
shows that in the fiscal year ending June 30 1914 the net
operating revenues of railroads in the state $601
co., For the year 1916 the operating revenues were
$5675 1885, and for the year 1916 ending June 3d. they
were $5329594 The reason Of the decrease largely
due to the fact that the railroads did not furnish cars to
do the business Of the state The year 1916 furnished the
roads much more business than they could handle and
yet the receipts less by 10 than in 1914 when
as is well known, business slack The greater
received because though business was dull
there were cars enough to take care of all Of it. Instead
of being increase there should have been there was
falling off of practically 25 per cent of the net revenues
This shows that Oregon not given her share OF the

If the blood is very impure, the

Voluntary removal of Bopp from his

the case satisfactorily from a diplo-

Senator Olsen IS joint resolution call
ing for a committee to be appointed to
draw up measures of law reform was
read in the house yesterday and refer
red to the committee on Judiciary. It
provides for a committee of seven, the
members of which are to be one supreme
Judge, one business man and five law
yers. The aim of the resolution iss to
effect reform in the Judiciary depart
ment of the state.
Publication of the tax lists in the
newspapers OF the state may be elimin-
ated if the bill recommended by the
county clerks and commissioners gets
by the legislature. Yesterday the
Multnomah delegations met and discuss
ed the plan and all were in favor of it
except Representatives Kubh and Bur
ton. Instead of notifying the delinquent
tax payer by means of the newspaper,
it is proposed to notify by means of a
postal card. Newspaper publishers are
opposing the measure.
Because borrowers of money from the
state school fund sometimes suffer the
loss of their property on account of be-
ing unable to complete payments on the
loan, bill was introduced yesterday in
the house by Representative Bean, of
Lane county, providing that when go
per cent of the loan was paid the bor-
rover took title to the land and gave a
mortgage on the remainder.
Representative Kubli, chairman of
the ways and means committee, proposes
to eliminate the cost of publishing the
candidates pamphlets from the expense
of state elections. This would eliminate
the sum of $S,75225 from election ex-
penses on the part of the state. The
total cost of publishing the pamphlets
amounts to $11,7S7.25, of which the
candidates pay approximately $3,035. In
addition to this reduction in expenses.
Representative Kubli is in favor of
shortening the ballot, and arranging it
so that either a party ticket or split
ticket can be voted.
