REPRESENTATIVE RULE

An American whose business took
him for the first time to the meeting
of a city council, came away dlslllu-
stoned and puzzled. $50 that" he said,
in recounting the procedure he had
witnessed, sis representative govern
ment'
It was not representative govern
ment, an exchange asserts. Bernard
Shaw has said of Christianity that
the world really ought to try tit
might work. Representative govern
ment might work if we tried it. Our
government is representative merely
in form. Our representative assem-
blies. whether national, state or mu-
nicipal are not truly representative,
because they too often represent only
classes of interests as distinguished
from national, state or municipal IN
terests. Those citizens most truly
representative of the people as
whole, and their interests are not
found in these assemblies, or rarely.
They do not belong to the PROBES
sionally political class to which the
American electorate has handed over
the business of government.
IT cannot be too often repeated that
representative government can be
lust as bad as any form of govern
ment ever devised, and frequently it
IS in America. 1t makes little differ
ence what the form of government
is if it's operation falls into incom-
petent or vicious hands. Representa-
tive government easily falls into such
hands because the nature of 1T re-
uuires that it shall have a mandate
from the voters. If representative
citizens do not vote, how can we ex-
pect government to be representa-
tive? And representative citizens do
not vote. not as least, in the num-
bers nor in the unanimity that those
citizens vote VINO are OISdHlZeu lol
the purpose of bad or unrepresenta-
tive government.
This is the condition that accounts
for the kind of government we have
in America today. Because we dele
gate authority we call it representa-
tive government, not stopping to
think that government, under what
ever form, takes its character from
those who operate it, not from those,
no matter how able, patriotic or high
minded, who do not participate in it.
The average city council is not rep
resentative of the community, the av-
erage legislature is not representative
of the the state, congress is becoming
more and more Representative of class
and occupational interests-bloc in
is not representative
either of the ability of the interests
of the nation. Before we condemn
government ought we
not to really try it?

OREGON SCENTS DANGER

Next Saturday Oregon meets Idaho
In what sport experts regard as one
of our. hardest games Of the season.
There is a deplorable lack of interest
in the coming contest due to the gen.
eral belief that Oregon has always
beaten Idaho, and therefore always
will.
Remember the Moscow team down.

There is considerable stir about the
Washington state capitol over the
pardoning by the lieutenant governor
during the governors absence, of a
Tacoma banker. Governor Hart will
be a candidate for reelection and |
Lieutenant Governor Coyle will be a |
candidate against him, according to
present indications. In some quart
ers it is claimed that the governors
friends urged Coyle to grant the par
don in order to get him in bad, while
others claim that Coylei did it with the
idea of enhancing his chances for the
Scandinavian vote. We are incli-

By The Associated Press.

 Tokio, Dec. 2S.-While announce ment of the resignation of the Jap anese cabinet appears to have been somewhat premature, in view of de- velopments growing out of the at tempted assassination yesterday of Prince Regent Hirohito, the latter has requested the members of the cabinet to continue in office for the present and they are expected to retire before the meeting of the Diet on January 20.
 The cabinet was in session all day yesterday considering the situation precipitated by the attack upon the prince regent, which has increased greatly the difficulties confronting the ministers.
 Home Minister Goto is said to be insistent upon the acceptance of his resignation, presented yesterday, in asmuch as he is compelled by custom to hold himself officially responsible for such an untoWard incident as fhe tempt to slay the heir to the throne.
 Many officials still are being heay- fly guarded, even the approaches to their residences being patrolled.
