WON'T GRANT TOWN SITES.
Secretary Noble Sees no Authority to
Encourage Corporations.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The secretary
of the interior today rendered the follow
ing decision relative to town sites in Okla
homa:
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1889.
To the Commissioner OF the General Land Office;
Sir-I am in receipt of your communica-
tons of the 18th Inst relative TO applica-
ton of the Oklahoma Capital City Town
Site and Improvement company asking
permission to locate and enter certain
lands in Guthrie and kingfisher land dis
tricts fer the town sites in the Indian ter
ritory--seventeen in number-said applica-
ton having been referred by the depart
ment to your office on the 18th inst.
concur III the views expressed by you
in your said communication that there is
no authority in the department to grant
application of the Oklahoma Capital City
Town Site and Improvement company TO
enter lands as now presented, and | am
also of the opinion that the provisions of
the act Of March =, 1889. providing for en-
tries of lands for town sites under sections
2371 and 1855 of the revised statutes does
not apply TO corporations of this character,
although the president might have power
to reserve land sites for town sites under
section 1881. Such reservation could not
be made for the benefit of a corporation of
this character, but would be disposed of in
the manner now provided by law.
Very respectfully,

cd is to procure from soldiers declaratory
statement which will operate to re-
serve the lands for period of six months.
They also obtain from the soldier at the
same time a REIMBURSEMENT of his rights

these frauds and when found the guilty
parties will be prosecuted to the full eX-

entries through attorneys who, however,
must swear they have no personal interest
in the claims and filings are not made
with view to relinquishing the claim.

Whitman County Republican Ticket.
J. E. BALLAINE. of Colfax.

The tax payers OF Whitman county
will save annually $4,000 by statehood.
Is this true2 Let us see. The assessed
valuation of Whitman county is,
in round numbers, $7,5O0,000. We now
pay q mills territorial tax, or total of
$1S,75O. This is our proportion of the
expense OF running the territory, and
nearly tho same expense will be incurred
under the state. In addition to this
there will be the salaries Of the state Of
fcers and the cost of the legislature
which amounts in all to $69,250 in the
whole state, to raise which tax Of a lit
tie over Z Of a mill will be required,
therefore, the state tax will be raised
from p to 81 mills which viii yield a
revenue of $24,375 in this county, or
$685. more than at present. There are
in this county, about $50 school sections
which cannot be sold for less than SO
per acre, at even this low price these
lands are worth 81, 152, 900, the fourth of
which can be sold at once, giving us the
sum of S2S8,OO0 which, invested at s per
cent-this being fair interest-would
give us yearly $4,000 for which we pay
nothing. 1t requires $37,50O to run
our schools, hence, the interest, figured
as above, would be short $14,460. To
raise this would require a levy of a little
less than mills. At present we pay 5
mills for our school fund. This, then,
would be a saving of B mills which
equals $22,500, but, inasmuch as our
state tax will be more than at present by
S5,625 this amount must be deducted
which leaves a balance of $16,S75 in ia
vor of the tax payer. Add to this the
difference between the amount now paid
County officials in fees and the salary
they will receive under the constitution
and you have over $4,000 to the credit
of the tax payer. To this should be
added the reduction in cost of holding
court under the constitution. Now,
what is true of this county is true
throughout the territory, and as Whit
mans assessed value is about one-twelfth
part of the whole territory, therefore, the
saving throughout will be over $780,
600. Figures do not lie. Here are the
facts, figure for yourself and you will
(. find that economy consists in voting for
the constitution.

has rich heritage that she can come IN
to only when she becomes a state; and
as her fund will be more than ample to
support all her public schools, without
speciaI tax, the people of the state, by
adopting this constitution and putting
their state government in operation, will
put an end to speciel taxation for school
purposes, and thereby will save enough
to meet all the expenses of the state es-
Establishment. The fact should be remem-
bered that much of the value OF the
school lands consists in timber, and that
this timber is subject to great waste,
both from fire and from encroachment
bv those who take what is not their own.
Administration of the school lands
should, therefore be assumed by the
state without delay. This is an import
ant reason for adoption of the constltu-
ton now.

THE Oregonian speaking Of the Wash

THE Oregonian speaking Of the Wash
ington constitution, says;
Criticism of the constitution is based
almost wholly on the allegation that it
creates too many offices and allows too
high salaries. A state government no
doubt could be conducted with a smaller
number of officials for the present, but
a constitution is for the future as well as
for the present time, and Washington is
increasing in population and wealth at
rate that will soon require all the official
services that the constitution calls for.
Nor are the salaries too high. Men of
ability and capacity cannot be expected
to enter the public service unless they
are decently paid. Nothing can be more
pitiful than invidious comparison Of the
salary of a justice of the supreme court
with the daily wage Of the common la
borer. Nobody but a paltry demagogue
Will ADOPT SO low an expedient. 1t should
not be forgotten that while the constitu-
ton creates seventeen superior judges it
does away with thirty-four probate
judges, and in this particular, therefore,
it is a positive measure of economy.
Again, the state is to pay one-half the
salary of each superior judge-a provis-
ion that directly favors the smaller coun
ties. In her school fund Washington
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1889-09-28
Was it Ignorance!

THE Commoner says why don't they
(meaning the republican press) tell that
it Is in the interest of economy and just
ice that the superior court of each coun-
ty can appoint three court commissioners
if it chooses, as standing judges, paid
by the county or itigants, while the
superior Judge goes fishing and draws
So, 600 a year. He can sit back upon
his dignity and never do days work,
only revise the work of the court com
missioners." The above was uttered
either through ignorance or willful de-
ceit. Article 4, Section %, reads There
may be appointed in each county, by
the Judge of the superior court having
Jurisdiction therein, one or more court
commissioners, not exceeding three IN
number, who shall have authority to
perform like duties as the judge of the
superior court at CHAMBERS, subject
to revision by such judge, to take depo-
sitions and perform such other business
connected with the administration of
Justice as may be prescribed by law"
In another section the constitution al
lows the court commissioner to be paid
in fees. Does the commissioners duty
extend as far as the Commoner alleges?
He can perform the duty of the judge at
chambers; that is he can issue
writs of mandamus, quo warranto,
review, certiorari and prohibition, and
such other business as judge can do
out of court. In Whitman county a
commissioner will seldom be required,
except in case of sickness Of the Judge;
but in counties where no judge resides
commissioner will be very necessary,
ane as the constitution provides for sew
eral counties being joined together for
judicial purposes there must, or at least
should be, commissioner in each county
wherein the Judge does not reside; and
for the Commoner's information we will
say that such commissioner is both
economical and will promote just ice
That this is true will be seen from what
actually exists at the present time in
Whitman county. Suppose any citizen
of this county desires mandamus and
the act to be prevented is taking place.
and unless prevented Immediately a
great injustice will be done; the plaintiff
must go to Walla Walla to obtain the
writ, and by the time he returns the act
is completed. IF, however, there had
been a court commissioner at Colfax, in
few hours he would have his writ, and
his rights protected, besides the saving
of expense. Answering another question
of the Commoner, namely: "Why are 80
odd probate judges retained in Officer"
we viii state that we can see no reason
in this except that it was the policy of
| the democrats to retain IN office all
county officials until their terms of Office
had expired, and, inasmuch as we do not
remember seeing Mr.. Warmers vote
recorded against the provision we will
leave it for him to answer. Still we can
see no reason for rejecting the constitu-
/ ton on that account, as the fees they
receive are small as compared with the
expense Of a new constitution, and,
again. their term of Office would expire
before another constitution could be put
| in operation.
