INSTRUCT OUR EMPLOYEES.

Why not hold meeting in each of
the precincts in Washington county,
settle on few leading ideas and elect
delegates to a general convention to
be held in the county seat--a sort of
legislative convention=to let our rep
resentatives in the next session know
what we want them to do? We Will
guarantee that outside of the Seven
Devils and the Agricultural college
matters, not one of the members
stituents on any leading matter that
may come up. The water question
is perhaps the most important thing
that will come up. Does Mr.. Smith,
Mr.. Fletcher or Mr. Verbeck have
any substantial knowledge of how
their constituents desire them to
stand on the great question of water?
Being republicans, they will, of
course, vote for a republican u. S.
Senator, but will they arrive in Boise
at sea, their votes to be prize to be
by some one of the contestants, or
will they 90 forearmed by the ex-
pressed desires of their republican
colleagues and friends at home? Hey
burn, the attorney of the Northern
Pacific railroad, will be there anxious
to quit a SO, 600 job in north Idaho
and take a So, 900 job in the U. S. SEN
ate. We believe the republicans of
Washington county realize the vast
and appalling power the railroads are
beginning to WELD in the political
system OF our country sufficiently to
oppose the sending of another rail
road lawyer to Washington. We be-
leve that our republican friends and
nei9hbors of this county are in the
majority in favor of that able young
statesman from the north, whose
character and acts meet the applause
of democrats and populists when
they cannot have a man from their
own ranks. We feel CERTAIN that the
republicans of Washington county
would stand up in u body and say
1--WE want the interests of silver
looked after more than all else; this

The viewers appointed by Governor
Mcdonnell to inspect the Boise coun-
ty Lemhi division of the state wagon
road have reported The viewers
recommend that these divisions do
not be accepted until certain repairs,
enumerated in the reports, shall have
been made III accordance with the
specifications. On the Boise county
division it is estimated there is still
work amounting to 81, $50 to be
done, including turnouts, drains, ETC.
In some places the grade is reported
to exceed the 10 per cent maximum
provided by law
Reports from two of the Salmon
river divisions show similar state of
affairs
Governor Mcconnell said recently
he would not accept any division of
the road until it was completed ac-
cording to the specifications

they complete their work the state
will sue them on their bonds.

What the People Want.

James Gordon, a Silve'ton farmer
was in the city toiay to pay his taxes.
He only comes to town once year. tC
pay his taxes, like many Others, ana
expressed himself strongly and intelli
gestly on two points, to.wit: He said
be wanted the county court to publish
proceedings according to law, and be
wanted roll calls of the members of the
legislature published on all matters of
public interest. He and other farm, rs
had no other way to know what their
county officials and presentatives
were doing with public matters or how
public funds were disposed of except
through the newspapers.

THE REFERENDUM.
Following appears in the proceedings

Following appears in the proceedings
of ths Linn county grange council.
The committee on legislation, on the
question of finstructing the members OF
tue legislature TO work for the passage
of law making the inlative and refer
eDdum part of the laws of the state,
made two reports, the majority report
in favor and the minority report in
adverse. 1t was moved that the
question be laid upon the table and on
Gall for the ayes and noes the vote was
tie and declared lost.
A number of county conventions Of
both parties have failed to endorse the
Swiss idea of the initiative and refer
endum. 1t is doubtful if the lRepubli-
can or Democratic state convention will
act on the sui ject. But it is fact that
the people of this state demand that
some check be placed upon legislative
extravaganza and corruption. 1t is a
we'll known fact that if the enactments
and appropriations of the last Oregon
legislature had been referred to the peo-
pie for endorsement or rejection, they
would have rejected more than one
half Of all that was enacted.
While we may not need the Swiss
system of initiating new legislation
the people are not suffering so much
from want of new laws as from too
much legislatiOn--Oregon does need
some sort of check upon vicious and
extrayagant legislation and the refer
endum in limited and practical form
is the only safe guard against such cor
ruption and abuses as they have had to
contend with in Oregon.

WHOOPING UP GOOD ROADS.
The Move for the First Mac
adam Highway.
IT HAS GAINED GREAT IMPETUS.
Prepare for the Road Convention
Next Saturday, April IA,

The good roads movement | as taken
great shape in Salem the past week or
two by efforts of committee.
There should be a large attendance of
persons interested in better roads at
the court house in Salem next Satur.
I day at o'clock, to hear the reports of
committees.
This is not move to tax the people,
or to issue bonds, or assess abutting
property, but an earnest effort to get
better results out of present laws and
present expenditures. Every citizen
who loves common prosperity should
help 1t along.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
Geo. P. Hughes, VIM. Brown and
w. @. WestacOtt, the committee of the
Marien county road convention to so
licit subscriptions for the improvement
of roads, haYe been meeting with ex-
cellent success. Saturday they were
out on this only few hours and se-
cured the names of sixteen persons to
give IS per mile, being the equivalent
Of $3.50. In these subscriptions the
understanding is that the maximum
distance of roadway to be improved
must not be over eleven miles and
already 81, ,805 have been raised.
Should the committee succeed in
raising the required amount of 81 900
per mile for eleven miles this would
insure thorough and well built thor.
oughfare to SCOTS MilIs, abo1t twenty
two miles distance in the northeast
section of Marion county, as eleven
miles of improved road out of Salem In
that direction would connect with the
improvements to be made by the Sill
verton and SCOTS Mills people as one
of the principal comfy thoroughfares.
Eleven miles of road improvement at
$1,000 per mile would require $ll 200
and the committee will undertake the
work of getting Salem people to SUBJ
scribe at least one-half that sum.
