Private mchange conecctiog alt Why Recalled The Oregon public service commission has had ample proof that it never should have made the six-cent fare _ order. q One of its members has been recalled by the people. 4 Not only Portland, but the whole state, has protested. The _ breaking of the contract under which the company agreed to a five-cent fare outraged the people’s moral sense, Christian people have a sense of honor and they resent the claim that a pledge, as the Prussian kaiser says, is -only a “scrap of paper.” That is the chief reason why one member of the public service commission was _re- called in the late primaries. The other members of the six-cent fare commission will go, too, if there is not a return to the fare pledged in the contract. The principle of keeping a contract is deep seated in the public heart. The carrying out of a covenant is nothing but common honesty.

Our suffrage prohibition amendments are clearly interference with rights, inasmuch as their ratification by only a part the states makes them constitutional law over all. And, n you come to study the matter, there’s no more reason prohibition and franchi-e legislation shouldn’t cover ill the states than that tariff legislation shouldn't. , Then, there are other ways to beat the states that are d about indorsing general pdlicies. Take, for in- child labor legislation. The U.S. supreme court has invalidated the child-labor law but the states ean p sale of products of child labor. This principle is dy in effect in several states as to importation of in- tants. The objection to this—and it is a strong one— that it promotes ill-feeling between the states, It's cine, but it is loaded with bitterness. But this is a critical period in which the absolute Recessity is a solidly united country, and a good many of our old ideals, partisan and otherwise, are being ~™owed down. We are taking on a lot of positive autocracy, which none of us like in ordinary times. We will throw “overboard some ideals, like states rights, which some of us have liked very much. But when we come to readjust ‘we'll have more of democracy, if we're wise and vigilant. |WILKES FUAVERS PLAYERS _ LAST WEEK OF THE SEASON! : Starting Matinee Tomor Tomorrow (Sunday) * Extra Holiday Matinee Thur Theedey, Fourth of July oe THE BIG NEW YORK COMEDY-DRAMA ‘ THE BIG q IDEA This company returns on Sunday matinee, Sept. 1, appearing in “Romance.” Ivan Miller, Grace Huff and practically same company.
