municipal charters are framed and en-
aeted. The present system offers every
opportunity for secret work and huyger-
mugger. 1t ought to be made possible to
require every feature OF charter to DO
subjected to public examina ion before II
is enrcted; that is to require that every
provision that is to go iuto a municipal
charter be published In advance of en-
actment Of the charter by the legislature.
II nothing could go into q charter that
had not first been submitted. through
to general scrutiny and criti-
cisni. our towns and cities would rid
themselves OF this evil.
Amendment OF the constitution would
seem to be necessary as mems Of bring

place restrictions upon the lawmaking

probably would be unconstitutional, az

PROFESSIONAL CHARTER HUCESTER.
why He Wants n weak Charter
and How Ie Works %.


The following pointed article from the
Oregonian OF the 18th inst. is worthy
careful perusal by every taxpayer of this
city. He will find matter OF profound
interest to him In the way of showing
how large municipalities, having COM
mitted the error of changing charter con-
ditions frequently, are at last compelled
to resort to extreme measures in quest of
any degree Of relief from fraud, trickery,
jobbery and extortion which had crept
into local government:
At every session Of the legislature it is
found necessary to change the charter OF
the city of Portland. The reason is not
far to seek. Every time provisions are
inserted or omitted, with view of sub
serving special or private interests. This
work is usually done in secret, adroit or
surreptitious manner. No one except
those specially interested in " fixing"
things for their own advantage, knows
what is to be in the charter, and cannot
fad ont till after il is passed; and often
not till long after. Every time it turns
up with things in it that surprise and dis
appoint the people OF the city. Then
criticism begins again, and the next leg
islature goes over the ground once more,
and again the charter comes out OF the
shop, fashioned slyly to meet, in various
particulars, the wants and private pur-
poses OF the professional chartersmiths.
The consequence is that Portland never
gets such charter as she wants, never
such charter as she will consent t,

In the fall OF 80 the Nateheez river

George Taylor, John Cleman, Harley
Taylor and some others crossed on the
ice, and there were five inches OF snow
and in Kitttas about eight inches. But
the ice soon broke up 10 the Natcheez.
Still it was cold all winter and we had
plenty OF snow. and it driited and crusted.
And there was heavy loss of stock. The
next winter it was not very cold, until
after Christmas. Then It did yet cold. l

Letting the general and special taxes.
Fourth-The time when the taxes be-
come delinquent.
Fif,h-The time for equalization. .
II will be noted that the council only
dxes the time 10 which these things shall
be done.
Thus II will be seen that ample powers
for the levy and collection Of city taxes
are provided by the charter; and the only
question made and decided 10 the case Of
Newman vs.. The City was whether such
levy and collection should be made under
the laws Of the territory in force and err
isiiHs at the time the charter was enacted,
or at the time the taxes were levied, and
the supreme court says "that the reference
10 the city charter must be taken to be to
the general law in force at the time the tar
Sas ievied-instead Of to that in force at
the time OF the Incorporation"
ALI that is necessary to be done by the
city Is TO FIX the time for doing the sew
ersl acts required. make the necessary
provisions bv ordinance for placing the
city officers In place OF the county off,
GERS. and proceed to levy and collect the
city taxes in the manner provided by the
general laws OF the state when the tares
are levied, and all the difficulties will
vanish. You have an abundance Of
brains in the city to do all these things.
The decision Of the supreme court is q
most sensible one, and carries out the
intent Of the makers Of your charter.
That Is to conform the levy and collec-
ton OF the city taxes as near as may be
to the manner Of levying and collecting
state and county taxes.

SEIGHBORHooD OBSERVATIONS.
A Few Items Of Lecat Intercss Gath
cred frsm Exchanges.

r. G. Portway returned last evening
from trip to Yakima in the interest Of
his firm, the LeMsys. Of London. Mr..
Portway made purchases that will aggre-
gate 500 bales, rs bales being the choicest
for which he paid Is cents. He Gays the
Yakima hops have the color which the
English brewers like, and that is the rea-
son they sell for higher prices than hops
raised on the Sound.
Many people can not understand why
the price Of hops is 80 low when there il
an acknowledged shortness Of the crop
throughout the world. The reason for
this seems to be solely on account Of hard
times. which has greatly lessened the
consumption OF beer. We are informed
by person who is on the "inside" that
the two breweries in Seattle, viz, the
Ciaussen d Sweeney and Bay View, do
not sell as much Of their product by one
half as the Bay View alone did year
and half ago. When times are hard

Fred Parker, Eco, OF North Yakima,

Ing into bearing and last spring he con-
ceived the idea that coal tar would ward
off the insects that are prone to work on
fruit trees. He accordingly gave the
bodies Of the trees coat of tar, which,
AS the old southerner would remark,
gavem a abolition color. His neighbors
told him that was just what he should dc
il he wanted to kill his trees. The bodies
OF the trees were as black ae Jet, but how
to get rid OF the tar was stumper. II
could not be washed or scraped of. He
conceived the idea, or borrowed it, tina,
to split the bark Of the trees with knife

effectual, but II was sure death to the
trees. Mr.. p. 10 better entomologist
