CLASS GOVERNMENT.

EDITOR CAPITAL JOURNAL
There is perhaps no better illustra-
ton of ithe law making of Oregon
than the present water-steal and
homestead law, the one to insure a
pittance to the family of the unfor-
tunate whose toll fails to provide for
them the necessaries of life, in fact
the very people who feed, house and
clothe us. While on the other hand,
a large majority of the saloons vote
for a public grab that would deal out
injustice to unborn generations of
toilers. And our "great and only"
newspapers advocate the passage of
such laws. A pleasant aspect to pre-
sent to the throng of honest tOilers
who are invited to our glorious coun-
try. And to see the money sharks
gather around the body polite on
such occasions as the scavenger birds
around the PROSTATE form of the an
cient horse. Verify, this will be an
illustrious page in the future history
of Oregon, and will rank high with
much of the by-gone legislation.
Poor youths, following the eX-
ample set, find themselves incarcer-
ated, for long terms, for pilfering
even food to eat, while older and
more hardened criminals steal thous-
ands and stay, much shorter terms.
Long steals make short stops, and
the rule should be applied to law
makers aswell. And the men who
had the staminy tovote against such,
to step aside from the time-honOred
path of legislation, should be sup
ported by every honest toiler. Then
we shall soon strike from our code
the disgraceful laws that confront
every honest tOiler and making it
criminal to be poor and incarcerating
us without trial. We can only say,
with one of old, "Deliver us from our
friends"

COAL MONOPOLY.

The Hayes Valley Advertiser of
San Francisco thus speaks:
During the past winters, the
damnable monopolies of coal and its
carriage has caused more suffering
than it is possible to describe, short
of n volume as big as the holy Bible.
Matter created by the Almighty for
the use of his children as fuel, which
costs in labor, when loaded on the
ears, some seventy-tive cents per ton,
taken from the mines along the Mis-
souri, River, carried to Kansas City,
less than fifty miles, can not be had
short of five or six dollars And
out in the blizzard regions of Kan.
sas, Nebraska and Dakota, say ten
dollars. And made purposely so
scarce, ut that-the people had to
either perish (aS many did or
rise en- masse, Dnd take it by force.
"Coal all around in quantities in
finite but held under such hard con-
ditions, that these laborers who mine
it are under martial law, rs at
Bevicr, Mo-, at one end-while the
consumers are dying of cold, or
forced into highway robbery, as at
various points along the railways in
Kansas aud Nebraska last winter.
"Who gets the five dollars per ton ?
the hundred dollars per car load,
more or less, that 1t sells for? Isn't
Il nice ?"

NOVEL FUELS.

The people in some of the great
peach-raising valleys of California
are using peach stones for fuel.
They burn as well as coal, and sell
readily at six dollars per ton. This
reminds us that a stove called the
trash-burner is now going into use
in Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.
1t being well known that nineteen
twentieths of all the heat is lost in
most stoves this IS made to save and
use it all. 1t is a large drum stove
with an apartment on either side
filled with hay or straw or paper or
other combustibles baled tight by a
leverage system in the apartments.
AS soon as one is burned out, in
from four 20 twelve hours, as the
weather may require, the other is lit,
while the empty one may be filled
in minute. Hundreds of promi-
nent citizens who have used this
declare that for the future they will
not burn coal or wood if given to
them.

TAXATION.

If the people do not think and
reason among themselves on all pub
lie affairs, abuses will develop and
grow more and more. In early
days taxes were not very high and
the assessors were easily evaded, Of
ten; but now the burden grows
more serious. The question of pub
lie revenues is the most important
one of the day. Is there no way of
raising the revenues but by tax ing
industry? Does it not seem wrong
to let the idler, the nom producer go
free and just as soon as a man begins
to do any good to fine him with
taxes in proportion as he is industri-
Gus? There goes the idle loafer or
vagrant utterly worthless to the
world. YOnder rolls the millionaire
in his fine carriage drawn by his
thousand dollar horses. The ASSESS
or may have as little to do with one
as with the other. Here is the man
of industry, his face grimed with
dust and wrinkled with care. He
employs many men he is the life of
his community. BY his labor all
kinds of commodities are being eX
changed and transformed. Him
the assessor is after in his most in
quisatorial manner. Him, the
collector keeps hiseyeon. AS though
he were criminal he is fined. In
stead of encouragement and reward
he is discouraged, hampered and
punished. 1t is a queer world, any
how.

CoNcERNING the system of ballot
ing usually known as the Australian
system the Galveston News of.Monday
says:
"The Australian system of voting,
or something very similar to 1t, Will
be in vogue in every state in the Union
within very few years. Massachu-
sets made the first trial of it, and
with such success as to attract uni
versal attention and favorable COM
ment. Connecticut, Minnesota and
Rhode Island have adopted the sys-
tenn, but have not yet given it trial.
In other states in which it was en-
deavored to secure ballot reform upon
this plan the purpose was defeated by
professional politicians, who were
afraid their "business" would suffer,
for it must be known that under the
Australian system the ward heller
ceases to be a potent factor in politics,
because men cannot be marched up to
the polls like sheep in droves and
voted according to his dictates. The
matter has been canvassed IN most OF
the states and the impression pre-
walls that all the legislatures soon to
meet will take steps to reform the
ballot whether the Australian system
be adopted or not"
The LIGHT most sincerely hopes
that in this thing the News will be
found true prophet. The submits
sion of an amendment to the Texas
constitution providing for registra-
ton law some two years since did not
meet with such favor at the
the polls as to warrant any speedy
adoption of registration in this state.
Perhaps new trial might give better
results with an Australian annex.
At all even is the LIGHT will join
prayers with the News for a reform
in the ballot.
