AMEND THE PRIMARY LAW

That there should be change in
the present oregon primary law will
be admitted by every one who has
paused for a moment to consider the
absurdities that have resulted from
the election which took place two
weeks ago.
In the first place the date should
be changed so that the people will
know who has been selected to do
their bidding, at least in time so
those who are selected will be able
to make the trip TO the convention
city and not be In doubt as TO wheth-
er or not they are really elected as
delegates.
And again when there is not a
majority for any of the presidential
candidates, the plurality vote should
not be considered as binding upon
the delegates for even the first bal
lot Such an amendment would pre-
vent the recurrence OF the inconsist-
ent position in which all OF the del
egates 10 tie convention this year
are placed, especially Wallace Me.
Vammant. iwho announced in adj
vance that he VAS opposed 20 the
candidacy OF Hiram Johnson.
Since the primary law is developing
so many defects its friends should
bestir themselves TO save it from the
glaring errors into which its use has
fallen II they do no; the time is
not far distant when it will be mod
ifed by those who arc not in SYM
pathy with il at all.

gon all the work of thirty years will
be wiped away and Harney county
might as we'll be abandoned by its
people and left as the paradise for
water fowl, Jack rabbits and coyotes
whose interests, in the minds of the
proponents of this legislation takes
precedence over that of their fellow
men.
The late and lamented President
whose name Is thus made the cloak
to cover this damnable outrage, we
believe would II he we're alive, fight
this measure. Tho he was one of
the most ardent of bird lovers, and
knew more about them than any man
in America, save John Burroughs
and one or two other naturalists, he
too was great lover of the West
and an ardent champion of It's de-
velopment.
The greatest monument to his con-
structive vision, beside the Panama
canal Is the Roosevelt dam in ART
zona, which stores the water that
transforms the deserts into fertile
fields for the beneficial use OF man
kind. and makes homes for thous-
ands OF independent Americans.
There is no doubt but that such a
man would be using his boundless
energy to lighting the proposals of
the idealist who would condemn for
all time the fertile acres OF Harney
valley to the water fowl that migrate
annually. while they might be made
the abode OF thousands of men wo-
men and children the year round
one OF the worst features of the
scheme Is that the proponents are In
fact deceiving the people who are
not In a position TO be In possession
OF the facts, or to learn OF the exact
situation. In the FIRST place they arc
uBing the word lake In a most liberal
construction. These bodies OF water
are not lakes. never have been. At
best they are only tulo swamps fed
by streams that are dry part OF the
year and by seepage water that has
been used for irrigation. Even II all
the water OF the tributary streams
were stored for irrigation and 80
used II would find It's way aftorward
TO these low lands and the level OF
tho swamps would thus be practical
ly maintained. But In the mean
time the surrounding lands would ne
made productive.
Finley and his sportsmen friends
do not explain this fact 10 those who
could not know II unless told, They
do not explain that there Is no pro-
posal made TO drain the lakes. In fact
they say there Is. when such talk was
abandoned yedrs ago. when II was
found 10 be entirely Impractical,
and his friends know this yet they
continue the deception. And Il is the
duty OF Malheur county men and wo-
men who know the facts TO combat
the work OF these fanatics. II the

oades who have 30 long been indiifer-

In addition, 295 of the broken
