institutions in one common fall. The
French militarists can carry the tri-
color across Europe, but the Red
flag will begin to advance in every
state in Europe as soon as this in
sanity of militarism is in motion.
Persons of different minds, diff
ferent intelligence, different amounts
of information, differed widely upon
the size and value of our real stake
in Europe's war. Some Americans
thought we would be imperiled by
German victory, other Americans
feared allied victory. Still other
Americans-and those the wisest, as
the event shows-thought that the
victory of either Germany or the
allies would be inimical to our well
fare and earnestly hoped for and
worked for "peace without victory"
But there can be no division of
opinion upon the enormous interest
America has in preserving Europe
from another and completely ruinous
war.
If militarism-no matter whether
French or German or British-again
proceeds to destroy what little is
left Of Europe's credit and produc-
tive power, then we shall be forced
to produce ONLY WHAT WE CAN
CONSUME AMONG OURSELVES,
and the whole fabric of production,
trade and commerce which has been
built up in the export and sale of
our margin of food, manufactures
and raw materials will collapse. In
world full of bankrupts we can do
no business.
Thousands of farms will grow
mortgages as their principal crop;
thousands of factories will have cold
chimneys and locked doors; thou
sands of mines and oil wells will
cease to produce, and armies of the
idle will look with hungry and angry
eyes upon the property of the we'll
to-do.
These are the black menaces which
peer out of the political and military
plans that are now emerging from
the secret conferences of European
diplomacy-from the hidden con-
claves Of French and British i'm
perialism and militarism.
The blind are leading the blind to
the ditch in which both will fall
and the voice of command, with
which great America might avert
the catastrophe, is dumb!
We discuss the right of human
beings to destroy the lives of those
hopelessly insane or suffering from
pain and beyond cure. At Pontiac,
Mich, young boy, Clair Blanfeld,

Psychologists it is said, are study

older brother. Everybody knows
that he should not have taken the
responsibility of ending his brothers.

State Schools Plead
For Increase unds

In spite Of the material increase
in millage allowances granted by
the voters of the state last June
both the state university and the
agricultural college are operating
on far less adequate housing ac-
commodations and at far less per
capita cost than the average OBJ
tanning for similar institutions in
any other section of the United
states. according to figures pre-
sented by President p. l.. Campbelj
Of the university and President w.
j. Kerr of the state college before
the WAYS and means committee,
Monday night.
Even with these increased mill
age appropriations the enrolment
at both schools has been so great
that the great bulk Of the available
funds are required to meet operat-
Ing expenses leaving such a small
margin for construction work that

Senate Fails to
Kill Hume Bill
On Court Judges

By a vote of fifteen to fifteen the
senate this morning failed to IN
finitely postpone senator Hume 5
bill providing that the departments
Of the circuit court be abolished SO
far as the nomination Jn1 election
of members of the bench is con-
cerned, and the bill was passed to
third reading and a place on the
calendar BY the ruling Of President
Ritner.
Those voting to indefinitely post
pone the bill Ware Banks, Bel,
Dennis Eberhard, Edwards, Han
Moser, Norblad, Patterson, Robert
son, Ryan, Smith. Staples Upton
and Ritner.
Those opposed - Indefinite post
ponement and therefore in favor Of
the passage of the bill were Eddy,
Ellis, Farrell, Gill, Hare. Hume,
Jones. Joseph, T.achmuEd, Lafol-
lette, Nickelsed, I'orIer SuayCr
Thomas and Viutcn.
Hume opened the debate by rc
viewing the departmental s: slem ii
vogue in Multnomah county. =
created antagonistn between IT,
judge in office and the candidate
who ran against him he said, and
was not in the pubic interest, 1hC
departmental system did mo- IRE
vail in the election Of ANY other O,-
ficial in the state government. llls
bill would give each candidate an.
equal chance ih IN open field.
There could be no opposition urged
against the bill except the d"Sne
to protect the !ncuIhhen-. Officers
of the court had been sent 10 Sa-
lem to lobby against the bill Hume
which was another indi-
cation that the judges were afraid
OF the bill because II disturbed the
safety of their tenure.
Moser opposed the bill, saying
that the bill had but one object in
view,to get rid of some of the |
judges now serving ana to see that
he or some others welc elected in |
their places. The best way to get
good judges was to make the caE-
iidates run against eacn other In
der Humes bill a certain l,oan who
ran in Multnonah coInty and who
did not possess the legal quaiifica-
.ions-the senator nnned Arthur
orion before the delegation meet
ng-would have been elected.
Upton moved the previous ques-
ion at the conclusion of Moser 5
shutting off further de
bate.
Hume said in closing that his
)ill was to shut out the court house
ing in Multnomah county and give
he people a chance u elect their
Judges.

Senate Passes
Bond House Bill;
Is Far Reaching

Senate bill so, by Eddy, bringing
bond houses within the puryiew Of
the blue sky law and placing bond
dealers under the jurisdiction of
the state corporation commissioner
was passed by the senate yesterday
afternoon by vote OF ~ to T. Eff
forts by Senator Hume. Joseph and
Ellis of the committee on revision
OF laws to recommit the bill was
charged by Eddy as founded only
upon desire to still further delay
legislation on the regulation of
bond houses in oregon.
The bill provides for examination
of the records of all bond houses by
the corporation commissioner AT
least once year and also requires
that bond houses must keep on
hand at all times sufficient assets
to cover outstanding interim GER
tificates and safeguards SO far as
possible investors IN securities who
are patrons OF bond houses.
The bin. Eddy contended, repre-
eented a practical solution of tn"
aemaod voiced by the people and
press of Oregon for the regulation
OF bond houses and had been APP
proved by both bond dealer and
buyer.
A counter proposal placing bond
houses under the jurisdiction of the
state banking department will, It "
understood, be introduced in the
bouae i'm an effort to defeat the
Eddy measure there.
