When we began'this article we said
that we were not inclined to attach
any blame to the members Of the
board. So far rs taking their $40 per
dav is concerned. we will cOncede
they did no wrong. The law allowed
them to do 80. But when they em-
ployed page--and they needed a
page about as much as they needed a
sergea or a livery rig to
ride to and FROM the capltol--there'can
be no excuse for their conduct. This
lucky young gentlemen pockets soOfor
his 26 days work while dancing
attendance on the board. We denounce
this as an outrage on the taxpayers OF
the country. The town and country
Is filed with poor, deserving boys
who would have gladly done all that
Paul Van Dersol did for s25, and
many for less money. But they did
not belong TO the class on whom favors
are shown in this age. This was a
matter on which the members Of the
board could have used some discretion,
but they used II in way that reflects
no credit on either their patriotism
or judgment.
There is still another thing that
demands explanation. 1t is this: The
board first sat on the Sd day of Decem.
Der. Their labors ended on January
2. That gave them exactly 20 days.
But out OF these 30 days, there should
be deducted four Sundays, which just
leaves 25 working days. And yet the
bill went in for 20 days, four days
more than should have been charged
for, amounting IN all TO 10 days, an
over change Of $500.

THE CUBAN PATRIOTS.


THE JOURNAL Monday evening had
specials from Cuba, showing that the
revolutionists had arrived in front OF
Havana, the fortified capital OF CUBA
and that the Spanish forces were
hopelessly demoralized. The down
fall of the royal authority of Spain In
the West Indies may be looked for at
any moment as the news Of the day.
The patriot generals landed few
months ago on the farthest eastern
shore of the island, and their progress
westward has been crowned with un-
broken victories. If they shall sue
ceed in freeing Cuba Of the Spanish
yoke it will be one of the greatest
triumphs over monarchy since the
British surrendered to our revolution
ary forefathers at Yorktown.
III the patriot armies sweep away
the last vestige of Spanish power in
the West Indies, the question will be,
what will be the attitude Of the
United States towards the successful
revolutionists? If they had failed,
the leaders would hang by the necks;
II they win, the world will declare
they are heroes. viii Spain attempt
to restore her power over Cuba?
What monarchies will assist her?
What then will be the attitudeof the
United States? The Cubans have
won their freedom now and the
of true Americans is
"Cuba shall be free"

present one. Is not this time for

"Oh, for more spirituality in the

SAN EXPENSIVE LUXURY"
The bill just paid for the work Of
&C ualizing the taxation Of the state
furnishes another proof that we have
another law on our statute book that
is base imposition on the public, and
shat ''must go'' or the first oppor.
1. rlty that precents itself. Why such
stupid and expensive a law ever
found a place among the laws Of the
state, IL is difficult to conjecture. In
other states, the business of equaliz-
ing the taxes costs little--here II
cInches the taxpayers TO the tune Of
5000 per annum.
The bill just presented by the board
ef equalization for one months ser.
vlces, shows most clearly the need Of
reform In every branch OF the public
servlte in the state Of Oregon. 10
shows that In times past there must
have been a systematic and well de-
vised scheme adopted by the different
legislatures TO loot the treasury and
rob the taxpayers Of their hard earned
money. Turn in whatever direction
we may, examine whatever depart
ment we viii, IL is the same thing
throughout--bIg pay for little work,
a few enriching themselves at the en-
pense Of many. When times were
good and money plentiful, the people
did not notice 30 closely the exorbl.
tant charges that were made for the
transaction Of public business. But
now when every farmer and laboring
man has 70 bend every muscle and
devise every scheme 20 provide bread
and clothing for his family, such bills
as that presented by the board OF
equalization for twenty-six days
work, startles the taxpayer and COM
pels him 10 denounce such an Internal
law az called the board into existence.
We do not contend that the mem-
bers OF the board can he blamed for
taking what the law allows them.
But the law itself is one OF the most
shameless and senseless statutes that
even disgraced a state or robbed
people. IL Is so manifestly unjust
that we sometimes wonder how
people can be law abiding while hay-
Ing TO submit to its provisions. The
law, as We understand II, allows each
member siO day and mileage for one
round trip from his home 10 the
capital and return, 80 that Mr.. Auldon
OF Lakeview, gets sS0o,0o for part OF
a month spent at Salem. Our com.
plant, therefore, Is not with the
members OF the board for taking slO
a day, but rather with the unjust law
which permits such charges, and with
the legislature which allows Il TO
exist. Here Is the bill as Il was paid.

And zephy rs sweet fiit laughing by,
With strains unheard before,
While look in her peerless eyes
And envy not the rich and wise
Nor heavenward gaze with wistful aighn.
For heaven can yield no more
When Mabel frowns, the world Is dreaR,
Each trembling dewdrop seems tear,
The roses droop in grief and fear
And cease to breathe perfume.
Alas, for me, a mournful swain.
The dismal moments drag In pain,
For who could bear to meet disdain
From lips 90 full Of bloonT
When Mabel smiles. my heart is proud.
When Mabel frowns, my heart is bowed.

THE people of Wichita Falls are
taking a decided interest just now
in the Indian Territory by invest
ing considerable talk in its affairs.
While they 0verdraw the situation
they no doubt do so honestly, and
and if their efforts for a change Of
conditions bear fruit. the end will
justify the means, so let them go
ahead undisturbed. While we can
not endorse their resolutions as
stating facts, they are certainly
eminently proper for the purpose
of attracting attention away from
the recent lynching at Wichita
Falls.
