BENTON county's members in the legis-
lature will be expected to lend their
assistance toward securing the abolish
ment of the railroad commission. 1t
has not been made apparent to taxpayers
of Oregon that this commission is any
thing else than useless expense. Its
members will no doubt attempt to i'm
press upon the legislature that its main
tenance is an absolute necessity for the
states welfare. Of course in urging this
matter these gentlemen will not be actu-
ated by any selfish motives. No, not for
the world Twenty-Five hundred dollars
year, and perquisites is nothing to any
one of them.

THE choice of the GAZETTE for sena-
tor has been Governor Lord. The fact
that he carried the state by the largest
majority ever given in its history, shows
his popularity. His services upon the
supreme bench, and his record before
that, prove that this popularity is well
deserved. He would have been strong
man to have sent to Washington. His
election would have caused no divisions
or bad feelings in the party, but would
have been ratified by every true and hon
est republican in the state. The repub1i-
can caucus, however, either overawed or
influenced by the Portland machine, by
small majority, voted for the nornina-
ton of Dolph. But, though Mr. Lord
may not represent Oregon in the 1egisla-
ture of the nation, Oregon will enjoy his
firm, able and intelligent administration
of her state affairs.

Hon. John D. Daily came up from Salem
Saturday for the purpose of comforting with
some of his constituents, relative TO pro-
posed amendments to the city charter, bill
for which purpose Mr. Daily will introduce.
A special committee ef the council is now
engaged in rnaking s,ch revisions to the
chartsf as are thought eo be expediens. Be-
sides th!s, a petition generously signed,
has been sent to our members in the lsgis-
lature asking that a law be enacted which
viii provide for the election of police judge
and chief of police by popular vote. 1t is
stated that another petition, though nos so
literally signed, has been circulated re-
questing that the charter be SO amended as
TO prevent the bonding of the city for any
purpose. 1t is also stated that bill has
already been prepared In conformity with
this. last mentioned petition, which will be
introduced by Mr. Cooper. 1t would seem
that tia best course to pursue in these
matters would be to call mass meeting.
In that way a more general expression of
our citizens might be had than is possible by
the circulation of petitions. The latter
course calls forth no discussion of the vari-
Gus matters In hand, in which all citizens of
the community are alike interested.

CORVALLIS, OREGON, JAN. 24, 1895.
GOVERNOR LORDS ADDRESS.

Governor Lord in assuming the duties
of his office delivered before the legisla-
ture his inaugural message. 1t is an ad-
dress eloquent with plain statements,
sound recommendations and timely sug-
gestions He expresses himself forcibly
in matters relating to the judiciary, and
in other affairs whereof experience has
given him cognizance and made him an
authority. Economy seems to be the
key note of the message and the practi-
cability of his recommendations for the
saving of the peoples money, commends
itself to all thoughtful citizens.
The governor briefly sketches the
resources of our state, and expresses an
<'abiding faith i'll the future of Oregon. "
He mentions the business depression and
finds cause i'll late national legislation.
He asks the legislature to investigate
every department of state and correct
any abuse that may have arisen therein.
He impresses upon the Legislators the
necessity of equality in the assessment
laws, and calls attention to- the wide
spread demand for the revision of the
taxation statutes. Some recomnenda-
ton in regard to the management of the
insane asylum and the penitentiary are
made, and he advises that the $Ioo, 600
appropriated for a jute-rnill be returned
to the general fund. He suggests re-
duction in the militia appropriation that
will meet with more appreciation with
the farmers than among the young club
men of Portland.
After regarding the necessity of the
education of the masses to the strength
and stability of the state, and calling
attention to the acknowledged efficiency
of the various state institutions of learn
ing, the governor insists that the strictest
economy be observed in their manage
ment, and that no money be appropria-
ted except for what is absolutely neces
sary The value of good roads is com
mented upon, and a revision of the pres,
ent system of roadrnaking, demanded.
In regard to irrigation, salmon fisheries,
and labor, recommendations are made.
Governor Lord strongly urges some
measure of relief for the supreme court
judges. He suggests that appeals to that
body be allowed only when the amount
involved amounts to more than $3.50, OF
when the controversy regards matter af-
fecting lands, public revenue and the
construction of the state consultation.
The governor thinks that the appointing
of state officers by the legislature il
wrong in principle, and leads to abuses
and political trading. The necessity fo1
a great and sweeping reductions in the
expenditures for public printing; mar
riage and divorce reforms; extending
the time of redemption from forced
sales; bank inspections, and the early
submission OF appropriation bills, takes
up the balance of the message.
The tenor of the address throughout
shows it to be the utterance of a sound,
safe man VINO can and who will watch
over and care for the interests of the
people.

HoRTICULTURISTS will ask for some
special legislation this winter. The vast
interests which they represent, and
which are of such vital importance to
the state, are seriously in need of some
vigorous laws. British Columbia and
states adjoining us have quarantine laws
the provisions of which are faithfully
enforced. Oregon has no such laws, and
as result her fruit growers and nursery
men have sustained serious losses during
the past year, Pest infected fruit and
nursery stock are shipped here in great
quantities, ard the state has been power
less to stop the practice. A statute
should be enacted, providing for a state
board of horticulture 1t should have
power to inspect all fruit and fruit trees
coming into the state, aud power also to
condemn any shipments which were
found diseased, or infected with pests
In addition to these duties, the board
should be vested with authority to in
spect the various orchards and nurseries
Of the state and make such recommen-
dations for their care as experience has
proved necessary to attain the best re-
suits and prevent the spread OF pests
and diseases. To systematically carry
out the provisions ef such law would
require al appropriation. On this ac-
count many Legislators, acting under
perverted idea of economy, may oppose
the measure. Its failure to pass would
be looked upon as a public calamity.
The fruit industry III Oregon now rep
resents an investment of several mil
lions. To withhold an appropriation of
a few thousand dollars, and thus Grip
pie an enterprise of such magnitude,
would be parsi1nony rather than econ
omy. As a class, horticulturists are
men of careful observation and manage
their business economically. They real
ize the necessity for retrenchment in
every branch of the states government.
For these reasons it is unfair to presume
that the fruit interests will ask for more
money than is absolutely essential for the
faithful and systematic enforcement of
the law. Their requests in this matter
should be granted by all means.

RELATIVE TO tax LAWS.
CORVALLIS, January 81, Is

CORVALLIS, January 81, 1895.
EDrraR GA1ET7E:-
Today's Orsgonian prints bill introduced
in the senate by Hon. Tolbert Carter, which
provides for re-enactment of the mortgage
tax law, with provision that debtor may
pay the tax on mortgage given by him,
and receive credit therefor on his mortgage
Indebtedness, leaving debtor to still pay
on whas property no owes for, unless his
debts arc evidenced By mortgage. 1t seems
to me, this offers but very poor
remedy for what the people are generally
complaining of: The: injustice and great
hardship Of having to pay taxes on sll they
possess, regardless of whether it has been
paid for or not The large delinquent tax
roll in nearly every county in the state is
evidence of the hardship this works. Nearly
every delinquent tax payer will be found TO
be one who has been assessed ON property
for which lie was still in debt, ard this sddi
tionat burden placed upon him has been
more than he could meet Those !, 10 are
out of debt have paid less taxes these. hard
times, end those WHO are in debt, moro than
before the indebtedness clause was repealed.
The law as it now stands ii unjust and
impolitic for many reasons obvious to ell
who examine it, and the re.enactmens of
tho mortgages tax law, without going back
to the ti,as honorsd principle of taxing =
maa enly on what he is really worth, will
not remedy il. I bslievs very large ma
josiSy of the people of the state are in favor
of law which allows deduction from assess
ment of all real indebtedness. ALI the
sophjstrg used ct the time shs indebtedness
clause was repealed did not convince thu
people that il was correct move, and ex-
periencs has proven their Impressions were
correct. TAXPAYER.

AN 1NsrRUcr1vE MEETING.

The regular meeting of the Benton County
Teachers Association was held in the public
school building in the principals room last
Saturday. January 10Th. The association
was called to order by Pres. Pratt at 1890

HIS OCCUPATION GONE,
Removal of DR.. Parramore,
Physician at the Aims
house.
DIR. MCPHERSON SUCCEEDS HIM
An Investigation of Some Things
at the Hospital Prom
iSed.

The Board of Health held a special
meeting yesterday morning, the only pur-
pose of which was to GUST Edwin L. PARA
more, resident physician of the Aims
house.
For long time complaints have been,
made to the board that Dr. Parramore was
neglecting his duties. and was careless and
incompetent for the important position he
held.
1t was intimated at The last meeting of
the Board of Health that some summary
action was to be expected at that time, but
the meeting adjourned without word
being spoken in the matter.
Yesterday morning the board came to-
gether under special call, Mayor Sutro
being called from his Office to preside with
out previous notice.
DR.. Mays stated the case-that the re-
moval of DR.. Parramore was deemed ad-
visable, as he proven himself careless and
incompetent; that charges had been made
against him on these grounds.
The Mayor called for more specific de-
tails, but for answer DR.. Bucknan repeated
the speech with no additions.
HAS he been intemperate?' asked the
Mayor.
''Well, yes, there is something of that
kind" said DR.. Mays.
The motion to declare the place vacant
and then another that DR.. George McPher-
son be appointed TO the vacancy both car
ried without comment.
Superintendent Weaver has been COM
planning of DR.. Parramore for long time,
as stated. He says that the physician fire.
quently leaves the place for days at time,
his patients being wholly without medical
care in the meantime.
Weaver tells me-" said member of the
board yesterday, 'that Parramore was
away from the Almshouse for three days
at stretch recently, leaving several cases
of sickness that should have had his con-
slant attention. On the fourth day of his
absence he walked into the office with the
air of man on guard and remarked to the
superintendent:
''Well, I've done one good thing, any
how. / gave old Mr.. - dose of some
thing that seemed to bring him round.
''That is very remarkable" was Viewers
reply, "inasmuch as that man has been
dead for three days"
1t was this sort of evidence that seems
to have brought the board to the point of
making the change.
DIR. Mcpherson, who was elected to the
place, is a considera bly, older man than DR..
Parramore. He was physician in charge
at the Sutro tunnel and works adjacent to
the back of its building and the Mayor,
although apparently unaware that his
name was to be presented, spoke highly of
him.
The change is to date from the 10th inst,
although DR.. Parramore receives his salary
for the month. Members of the board say
that the next thing in this line will be an
inquiry into charges preferred to the effect
that DR.. Titus of the City and County
Hospital has been consenting to long
periods of absence on the part of some of
the nurses there while still allowing them
to draw salary for continual service at the
hospital. The specific instances mentioned
are those of Mrs Waterman and Mrs.
Robinson. Their pay is $40 month land
found"

half mile in As seconds or better, yet it
was won easily in 4914 seconds.
Ed Purser finally landed on a winner;
he played McLight in the mile race.
The fifth race on yesterdays card was
declared off, the two-year-old event being
split to meet the difficulty.
The Guilla FLY was virtually left at the
post in the last race, Glover pulling up as

THREE GREAT COMPANIONS
CELERY

The valuable medicinal properties of this
substance were first discovered by the en-
inent scientists, Homolle and Joret in 1S49.
They recognized in this agent an excellent
substitute for quinine in all cases of mala-
ria. They also found celery an exception
ally valuable remedy for the disease now
commonly called La Grippe and for all
Nervous Troubles. The entire medical
profession at once turned their attention to
the wonderful results attained by the
proper use of this article, and to-day it is
prescribed freely by the highest authori-
ties as an agent to overcome sleeplessness,
loss of appetite, headache, and the many
other evils attendant on an overweight
nervous system. Celery appeals directly
to the nerves, and when taken properly is
almost immediate in its wonderful sooth-
ing effects. An hitherto unknown calm
comes to the sufferer, and in place of the
jar and clash of unstrung nerves, he is
given at least an interval of quiet happi-
ness. With his mental faculties thus at
rest, he is able to intelligently study him
self, and investigate the causes that have
made these thousand minute wires running
through his organization vibrate so harshly
and constantly Celery stimulates and
euiets the nerves, and in company with
beef and iron, is the greatest and most per-
manent CONSIDER the nerves have ever
known.
