CAPITAL JOURNAL.
We believe the editor of THE JOUR
NAL has had some experience with
the Oregon legislative mule, and OF
course, he knows IL to be most'stiff-
necked and leather-headed animal.
We do not know whose fault IL was.
Perhaps Col. Hofer can throw cal
cium light on the subject from the
stand point Of his intimate personal
association with that body.-Inde-
penpence Enterprise.
One OF the first things that need be
done II any reform is desired is TO
leave such men as Col. Hofer out of
the legislature. The Democrats have
no share In the responsibility for
either good or bad in the last ses-
sion, as they had not single member
in the honse and only eight of the
thirty senators. Some say that the
last Legislature was a bowling mob of
Republicans with sprinkling Of Pop
ulists, Of which the editor of the
JOURNAL tried TO be the leader. The
editor Of that paper should lose no
time In commencing the reform move
ment on hiself.-POrtland Dispatch.
The Portland Dispatch is run by |
one Tony Noltner, an alleged Demo-
crat, but really tool of the old Port
land ring, who wasakept at Salem all |
last winter to keep few Democrats
in line for the Dolph managers. PEN
noyer appointed Noltner regent OF
a state normal school, because he
thought II would put him where 'he
could not steal anything. But lac
surmounted all the obstacles. Noltner
could plumber even an educational
institution. BY some hOcus-pocus he
got his whole winters hotel and
whiskey bill allowed by the auditing
board OF the normal school. Instead
Of paying his bill he drew the warrant
from the state treasury and put IL in
his pocket, leaving the Salem land
lord TO whistle for his winters board.
He is still whIstlIng, and Noltner will
see TO It that he continues TO whistle. II
A great deal more calcium light could
be turned on Noltner IL he were not
such Il dead and stlnking political
carrIon that 1t would be waste OF
time.

THE ECONOMY PLANK.
Adopted by the Last Republican State
Convention.

Adopted by the Last Republican State
Convention.
The plank reads as follows:
"In our state OF affairs we demand
closest scrutinv and economy In ex
penditures. We condemn the prod
igality and excess Of past legislatures
aud call upon the next legislative as
sembly TO keep all appropriations
within the limits Of the most econom-
ical administration consistent with
efficiency. The officers Of the admin
istratiye department Of the state have
become too expensive, and their ex-
penses must be reduced. When the
constitution fixes the salary, only the
constitutional salary should be paid,
without additional emoluments. The
practice OF employing unnecessary
clerks and Of paying fees in excess OF
Just payment for services needed or
rendered, has become an abuse that
must be cut Off, and we pledge the
Republican party TO the prosecution
and accomplishment Of this reform
District attorneys and other officials
should be paid fixed salaries, since
payment of fees encourages litigation
and entails upon the taxpayers heavy
and needless expense"

THE PEOPLE WANT IT.

as popular as THE ONE CENT DAILY
