OREGON, with clear republican
majority of ten thousand frequently
enjoys the luxury of democratic state
treasurer, governor or supreme judge.
Each and every time this has occurred
it has been caused by the treachery of
Joe Simon, who had not been allowed by
dates. Every member of the 1egis1a-
ture knows this to be true, and unless
they intend to turn the state over to
Joseph they will not elect his pet-Do1ph

THE salary of Benton county's judge is
now 5000 per annum. This sum is out
of all proportion to the service demanded
The county is small and contains pop
ulation not, Exceeding 5000 or 10000.
The time required for the faithful dis
charge of the judges official duties will
at the outside not exceed five days per
month or sixty days per annum. Ten
dollars per day should be ample remun-
Grafton for such service. Petitions ask
ing that the salary be reduced from 5000
to $500 per year, have been circulated in
nearly every precinct in the county.
Never have petitions of any sort been so
readily and generously signed by all
classes and creeds as this one. In fact
the endorsement of the movement has
been almost unanimous. On the can
vass last spring our Legislators promised
their constituents to further any move
ment in the line of economy. Now an
opportunity is afforded to fulfill those
promises. A bill to reduce the judges
salary of Benton county has been pre-
pared and together with the numerous
petitions asking for the passage of the
measure, will be sent to our delegation
this week. Will they see that this bill
becomes law and thus fulfill their cam
paign pledges?

THERE must be crisis in the senator
ial matter shortly. The election is stand
ing sn the way of needed legislation, and
good bills are apt to be defeated, or bad
ones passed through the desire to elect
some particular man. Most Legislators
are honestly imbued with the desire to
accomplish what is needed in the way of
legislation, but they cannot give the
proper attention to proposed laws while
the election is still agitating their minds.
Mr.. Dolph ought to see that he cannot
be elected; that he is standing in the way
of an election and his candidancy is pre-
venting our state law makers from doing
their duty, He must realize that the
party and the state owe him nothing
that he owes to them all the honors he
has received as public man. The spirit
of gratitude if nothing else, should move
him to relinquish the role of ''the dog in
the the manger," and retire from the
contest.

Thurston has few equals. He fully real
ICES his duty to the people and will
attempt to carry out their wishes to the

his remarks stated: ST am in favor of

am in favor of American bimetalism and
in this the United States should lead the

STATE PUBLICATION.

The matter of state publication of
school text books is likely to be brought
up for consideration at the present ses-
sion of the legislature. In fact it has
been stated that Port1and's committae of
one hundred has bill providing for state
publication, and that Multnomah men,
bers will attempt to force its passage.
It hardly seems probable that this state
ment is true. Business men will not
attempt to secure the passage Of such an
important measure until after careful
investigation of all its phases. Such an
investigation would at once disclose the
utter folly of the state entering into the
printing business. The experience of
California alone is such as would cause
any thinking man to oppose the plan.
There it has been IN operation for several
years, but the plan has become heavy
and needless expense to the state, besides
being disastrous to the best interests of
the schools. AS a rule the books are
inferior in every particular, and the fact
that they have cost the school patrons
vast sum more than superior books could
have been purchased for in the open
market, has caused deal of dissatisfac-
ton. Oregon should profit by the alto
gether unsatisfactory experience of her
sister state aud not be guilty of similar
folly. The result of the competition of
publishers under our present plan of
providing books has been to effect
steady reduction in the price of books,
and steady improvement in their quail
ity. The books of today made in this
country are models of the bookmaker's
art, and are superior to the school books
of England or Germany in every respect.
''The principal objections to system
of state publication" says Prof. S. S.
Parr, dean of the normal school at Green
castle, Ind, "are to be found in the
greater cost of books, the impracticabi1-
ity of securing efficient means of distri-
button without adding about one half of
the usual retail profit, the fact that state
manufacture or supply thrusts books upon
the schools from the outside rather than
allows them to arise.as a growth .s.out Of
the necessities of the work, and, as part
of the last question, state supply stiles
that free authorship and free bookmak-
ing which have done so much in the last
twenty years to give us improved books
1t opens wide the door to special 1egisla-
ton intended to control contracts, turns
textbook suppliessover as the spoils of
politics, and is an incentive to all kinds
of jobbery and corruption. It destroys
the business of the jobber and retailer of
books, and thus breaks down a useful
and benefcent industry. Such system
is paternal in its tendencies, and takes
away all local privileges of selection and
choice. The making and distributing of
books must be made business, and can
not safely be entrusted to boards or COM
missioners whose business is to do some
thing else. With the six-year limitation
put on textbook change by the present
law of Indiana, free competition and
intelligent dealing with the choice of
books and with schoo1book firms, by
school officers, offer as little friction and
as little loss as any known system which
is possible

GIRLS, DON'T!

Girls, you think it is very funny to f1irt,
don't you? And so you so on and on,
trifiing with young mems affections, jilting
them and Laughing in your sleeve at their
piteous, or indignant words, as the case may
be. Some mon swear, or feel like doing so,
at such times. while others cry, according to
their peculiar dispositions. For my part,
I'd rather have them swear, for crying does
make their noses so ridiculously red and
shiny. Oh, yes, girls, know all about it.
just how the compliments-or fattery-
from good looking young man, tickle your
vanity; how their honeyed twordsi some
times fall upon our perturbed spirits like
oil upon an angry sea; how their chocolate
drops, gum drops and tafy drops-and in
truth they feed you more taffy than any
thing else-tickle the appetite and make
one feel that seTom isn't half bad" And
then, such delightful buggy rides as he takes
you! to say nothing of theatres, excursions,
picnics and concerts.
And all this time poor Toms purse has
been growing leaner aud leaner, til at length
in desperation he blows in his last four-bits
for box of bon-bons for you, and while You
sit and MUNICH the sweets he has brought
you, Tom puts his fate to the test, and.
gets left. And your Oh dear, you're a
woman! And SO you gently smooth the
poor boys hair with one dainty hand, while
with,the other, you poke another chocolate
drop into your greedy little mouth-which
no one but Tom ever did call ittle-at the
same time telling Tom how sorry you are,
and how unexpected his proposal is, while in
your heart you know full well you've been
trying to make him propose for the past
three months. And SO poor Tom goes his
way, and as he has been duped by you, so
arc other unsuspecting girls duped by him,
for he has learned thing or two since he
was boy And now, having disposed of
Tom, you put on an extra dash of powder,
give your bangs more bewitching curl. and
sally forth to capture a new victim, and be-
ing young and attractive, it doesn't take
YOU long; and soon the old farce-on your
part at least-is enacted once again.
And thus the game of life goes on; you

CORVALLIS GAZETTE
From beneath the capitol dome
the anti-Dolph carpenters, far
mers, laborers and miners are still
driving nails in his honor, ]. N.
Dolph's coffin. Twenty-nine re-
publican spikes are driven deeper
every time a ballot is taken. To-
day Hon. T. H. Cooper will drive
the thirtyeth. Dolph's follow
ers now concede his defeat, and
the work of compromise is now
begun. AS to who will be the
man, much conjecture now pre-
walls. 1t is thought that Gov.
w. P. Lord, would stand the best
chance, were it not that he is a
good man in a good place. Hon.
Geo. H. Williams is the next
strongest man, and doubtless can
have the support of Multnomah
county delegates when the ring
is broken. There is but little
hindrance now caused by the
deadlock, as it only requires about
twenty minutes to ballot each
day. 1t is not Senator Dolph SO
much that the people want to
retire, it is the principles he rep
resents, and the power that dom
mated in the so-called caucus,
and the power that has controlled
the state for so many years.
The Multnomah delegation,
Dolph's sentinels, are asking the
legislature to pass Portland's new
charter bill. Country members
are also watching the bill stabing
"Billy' Hume. Although both
seem of a local nature, they are
wide-sweepers, and should they
become laws, will shackle the
freedom of Oregon forever, un-
less there is local upheaval and
a general turning over of the
republican party. This should
not result now, and the republi.
can party now in power can be
of great benefit if put into
clean hands-the promised new
deal.
Our senator, Hon. Tolbert Car
ter has secured the passage of {
bill, changing Lincoln's circuit
court terms to the fourth Monday
of July and January of each year,
not effecting, however, the mex
May term. This is a much need
ed change, as the court coule
not heretofore reach that place
in time. Mr.. Carter is sick ano
has not answered to his name
this week.

LONG of Multnomah, has in
troduced a bill to abolish free
scholarships to the Agricultural
College. Aided by the Dolph-
Simon machine, which has ever
been antagonistic to the states
welfare, the bill may become a
law. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that there are enough men in the
Oregon legislature, who will rise
above machine politics to defeat
the measure. For the informa-
ton of members, not dominated
by the machine, and who might
be inclined to favor the bill un-
der the false impression that it
was measure in the interest of
economy, it might be stated that
the Oregon Agricultural College
and experiment station connected
Herewith are maintained exclu-
sively by the federal government.
All the money appropriated by
the state has been expended in
the erection of buildings. Abol-
ishment of free scholarships will
not lessen state taxes in the least.
The course of study prescribed
at the institution is the most
practical and useful to be obtain
ed. Its students are made up
from the Drawn and sinew of the
state; not from the plutocratic
class, who are now attempting to
force the passage of a bill which,
if successful, will limit the inhu-
ence and usefulness of the college,
because it will deprive many of
the more dependent students
from entering the school. Pupils
of the Agricultural College, as a
rule, are sons and daughters of
farmers, mechanics and the la,
boring classes. Fully three-hfths
of its students are doing manual
labor about the college farm, or
in town to assist them in defray-
ing their school expenses. Iffree
scholarships were entirely done
away with it would materially
effect the chances of at least 60
students of getting an education.
By withdrawing this assistance
the state receives no pecuniary
benefit; but on the other hand
diminishes the influence of the
college without reducing the cost
of its maintenance. The bill is
without semblance of merit,
and should suffer defeat.

ANTI-ALIEN LABOR LAW.

Corporations performing the service of
common carriers as rule enjoy many
privileges obtained from both the state
and federal governments On this ac-
count it would seem perfectly right and
proper to require such public corpora
tions to employ only American citizens
1t is true that there exists a growing
tendency to legislate all corporations "off
the face Of the earth, y 80 to speak. This
naturally causes them to retaliate, and is
perhaps the cause Of much interference
from them in politics and legislation.
These corporations, however, receive
valuable franchises from municipalities,
counties, states, and from the national
government; besides, these interests
receive deal of favorable legislation.
Therefore the government has right to
dictate, in measure, how their business
affairs shall be conducted. Whenever
possible the welfare of the American
workingman should be considered, and,
should any opportunity present itself to
legislate IN his behalf such opportunity
should not be allowed TO pass. In Amer
lea the interests of an American should
be considered paramount to those of for
eigners. A citizen of this country should
not be compelled to compete with immi-
grants who cannot become American
citizens or who do not intend to become
such. The anti-labor alien labor bill
introduced by Representative Hofer
should receive favorable consideration by
the Oregon legislature. That portion of
the act providing for the payment of $Ioo
annually as license for the privilege of
carrying on the business of a common
carrier, will. probably not meet with
approval from all sources. But section
four ought to pass without serious oppo-
sition. It is as follows:
"Any public corporation transacting
business in this state, within the terms
and meaning Of this act, is hereby pro-
hibited from employing in its service, or
having upon its payrolls, or keeping in
its employ in this state any person other
than an American citizen, or a person
who has declared his intention to become
an American ss.citizen, and this section
shall not be construed to permit the
employment of persons whose citizenship
Is of a temporary character, or founded
upon treaty relations with countries from
which immigration is restricted or pro-
hibited by acts of congress-"

DUN's Review, In one of its recent
issues, estimated the loss of wages to the
employees of in all industries in 1894 as
compared with 1892 at about $500, 100000
This amount must be deducted from the
productive wealth Of the country, aud
taken by itself, or in its relation to the
industries affected, 1t is appalling. It is
an amount sufficient to pay off one-half
the net debt of the United States. The
industrial strength of the country has
been severely tested the last year or more.
