SENATOR MITCHELL. has been
in Portland for some time since
election. He left for Washing
ton only last week. He is far
from being unapproachable and
is always anxious to oblise. Had
Lylcll Baker really desired any
information from Senator Mitch
ell, the common sense and cour-
teous way of obtaining such in
formation would be TO cali upon
Mr.. Mitchell and find out. In
stead of so doing, he publishes a
rather impertinent letter in the
Oregonian, demanding some in
formation. The design in all
this is of course apparent. There
are cases where protestasions of
public zeal are ludicrous aud the:
few Portland gentlemen who. de-
sire so earnestly and SO publicly,
to have Senator Mitchell parade
his views, "for the sake of the
people," must expect to be laugh
ed at by the observing. 1T is
loves labor lost, for the people
of Oregon will not stand any Ad-
dicks business.

THERE is demand being made

~. THERE is a demand being made
by few of Senator Mitchelps
friends, yet who are his enemies,
-. that he declare Himself upon the
- money question. This demand
certainly cannot be made in good
faith, or for any other purpose
than as an embarrassment under
the circumstances. Sen. Mitch
ell put in his entire time for two
months before election stumping
the state for Mckinley and the
st. Louis platform. In every
speech he declared that he stood
squarely upon that platform; the
platform upon which Mr.. McKin-
ley was elected. What more can
be asked of any man, and what
more can any man do than in
dorse, unreservedly, the platform
of his party as a whole? 1t is
safe to say that. the men who are
making these demands: are, as a
= rule, men who sulked in their
tents during the recent campaign
and contributed nothing toward
the success of the ticket, and who
are not now and never have been
friendly to the senator.-St. Hell

"A Dangerous Voyage.

Mrs. J. S. Pond, mother of Mr.
Monroe Cameron, and daughter,
Mrs. Nellie Moore, returned from
The DaIles, Tuesday. They had
an exciting trip, for they were on
the wrecked steamer, ''Dalles
City" that met misfortune I'M the
ice bound Columbia.
They report the Oregonian's ae-
count as tame compared with their
actual experience. In the night
owing to the heavy wind and the
thick ice, the steamer struck OH
reef of rocks, knocking hole in
her hull. The captain realized the
danger Immediately and swung
the vessel around to rest on the
reef, preventing. her from sinking.
There were forty passengers aboard
and for eighteen hours they waited
for rescue CT. death. The vessel
might at any time have blown off
the reef and sank in forty feet of
water.
:, = Everybody" Mrs. Pond added,
chad OH life preservers, and one
man had four. 1t was bitterly
colo. The hegchain gave way,
breaking every window pane out.
There were hours of anxiety and
people prayed who had never
prayed BEFORE"
The rescuing boat had to break
ice with dynamite for 200 yards
in order to make a passage, and
The cable she ran out while the
were transferring, accu-
naufated ice, a fool thick in half an
hours time. It was altogether a
most trying experience, and the
ladies are thankful that they are,
safe at home.

IT is the universal opinion of
the Oregon press that Senator
Mitchell should.be reelected at
the opening of the legislature.
He is the choice of hisparty,, and
the general favorite of the people
without regard to politics. Let
his election be the first thing on
the program, then let thf iegis-
lature get down to- business and

COUNTY MANAGEMENT.


court is respectfully called to the
present financial condition of the
county. Not .abusively nor in
unfriendly criticism it must be
urged that the present policy, or
at least that hitherto pursued,
means BANKRUPTCY. 1t is not
charged that there has been any
wilful defrauding of the taxpay-
,ers, for it is generally believed
that we have had an honest man
.agement of county affairs, but
this does not relieve the people of
the Sis, 900 Indebtedness that
;stares us in the face. 1t IS a time
for plain speaking-the reduction
of that debt must begin at once.
To accomplish this will be a
difficult matter. The court is
confronted with an annual salafy
account of $S, 900 to which must
be added the yearly interest
charges of about IS, 900 making
"a total of 81 5000 for these. two
items alone. Our average nor
NAL expense account is approx
1nately $40, 900 in excess of the
latter figure, but the bulk of this
last sum is needed for bridges,
roads, court expenses, etc. Prob
ably stinder normal conditions,
however, by the practice of close
economy, AN annual saving, :of
$1,000 might be made on the
above figures, which sum could
be applied in payment of out
standing indebtedness.
Our total taxable property is
in the neighbo1hood of s., ooo,-
900. A levy of ten mills on
this amount will produce $50, 600
and it would, perhaps not be bad
policy to make.such a levy the
coming year. By keeping Our
expenses down to $4,000, we
would be enabled to pay $40, 600
Of debt each year. OF course
this levy would be a hard burden
to bear, but we must bear it., if
we are to extricate ourselves from
Our present deplorable condition.
Another important inattersin
connection with the subject, is
the enactment Of some legislation
governing delinquent taxes. It
ought not to lie within the discfe-
ton Of the, court to extend indeh-
nitely the time for paying taxes.
The law should fix the time wRer
taxes become due; when they be
come delinquents and also .the
time for advertisement and sale
4of the property against which de-
1inquent taxes have accrued.
Taxes would then be paid more
promptly and the laggard taxpay-
er would not as now be given a
preference over his neighbor who
pays promptly each year his caun
ty tax.
Another matter of serious con-
Germ isf;the item of salaries.
Eight thousand dollars, more
than one-third of the annualsin-
come of !. the county, is too mitch
to pay for officials in county the
size of Benton. Either we should
go back..to the fee system, Which
would certainly be more satisfac-
tory to all CONCERNED, or elsesthe
salary accouift must be lessened.
The cure for the deficits in our
laws, is of course without the
province of the court, and must
be brought about by legislation.
IT is, however, within the pro.
vince of the court, and it is its
duty. to the Taxpayers to see that
our, expenditures are kept within
our income; that a surplus rather
than deficit is created each year,
and that such business policy is
pursued as will eventually put us
IN a safe and h ealthy financial
condition. 1.s -
