THEY ARE INCONSISTENT

! The Oregonion and the Salem States
man, the two leading republican papers
OF the state, have figured out that the
failure of the legislature to organize
and pass the remedial legislation that
was promised last June, will cost the
taxpayers of Oregon $4,000 during
the coming two years. If these
Journals make no mistake in their cal
culations, and a saving of this vast
amount can be made by harmonious
organization of the legislature, they
certainly are pursuing most incon-
sistent course, so long as they pose as
the friends of the taxpayers.
Each of these papers hes taken sides
with the factional fight that is going
on in Salem and which prevents Or
ganization of the house. The Oregon
ian wants the legislature organized
but unless it can be brought together
on lines that will defeat the election of
it prefers no organization be
effected, and the people of Oregon can
suffer the consequences of paying $780,
'0o to satisfy factional prejudice. On
'he other hand, the Statesman is fully
ls obstinate, and unless Mitchell can be
elected, it is willing the taxpayers
nay go to the demnation bow-wows
Neither OF the these great dailies has
advocated compromise between the
actions. Neither is or has been will
ng to concede anything. If the Or
gonlan and Statesman were consis-
ent they would advise harmony instead
+ persisting in the course of rule or

banished from it's councils, is left a
wanderer among man in the political
world. And in these times OF bitter
partisan strife man without a party,
especially one who has once been
prominent in political life, occupies
little more enviable position than did
Benedict Arnold.
One need not go far back into his
tory for illustrations. Compare the
position held by David B. Hill of New
York, with the esteem in which he is
held by his fellow partisans today.
Only few years ago he was the leader
of the New York democracy: he was
elevated to the highest position in the
gift of the people and was later made
their representative in the United
States senate. In that body, instead
of deYoting his efforts to making the ad-
ministration OF his party a success, he
exerled his entire energies to making
it failure. He became a traitor to
his party; and as q reward, when he
became candidate for governor in
1896, he was defeated by over 10000
votes. Today he is an outcast from
the democratic fold, and has not
.'whereoa to lay his head" politically.
The experience OF this man, who
were once leader, may we'll serve as
warning to the several Democratic
members of the Oregon legislature,
some of whom contemplate deserting
their party and supporting reprbli-
can for United States senator. No
surer road to q political grave could be
chosen than to pursue the course they
are contemplating. If they would
choose to be men without a party in
the futdre, they have but to take this
one step to forever become political !
But one reason could be ad-
vanced for taking this fatal step, and |
that would be that the senatorial con-
,est had blocked all possibility of |
needed lepislatiOn

Oar present financial system is by
no means the best in the world and IS
susceptible of Improvement, but re-
formed on such lines as the national
board of trade suggests, would be apy-
thing but an improvement. TO place
the issuance Of all credit currency in
the hands of one class wonld indeed
make it elastic, so elastic that it could
be made scarce or plentiful at the beck
and call of the bankers. But this is
not the most Objectionable feature.
The proposition to allow national
banks to issue currency on their assets
is most dangerous. 1t would be an in
centive to dishonesty that has never
had parallel. The numerous fail.
ures Of national banks that have oc.
CURED within the past few months is
sufficient illustration of the dangers
underlying such a system. and also
proves that even the supposed super
vision exercised over these institutions
by the government is so lax that fraud
may be perpetrated at any time by the
making up of false exhibits of assets,
hence currency issued thereon would
be based on extremely fimsy security.
And the reduction of the tax on circu-
lation would be an incentive to bank
ers who were SO disposed to mike up
fictitious assets in order that an in
creased volume of money might be Sc
cured on which to speculate. This re-
form would simply result in returning
to the times of the wild cat" bank
ing system, only its effects would be
more hazardous since the government
would be compelled to redeem all the !
currency issued on questionable !
securities.

UNITE THE FORCES.

The democrats, populists and silver
| republicans have a common, cause in
fur thering the interests of silver.
1t is an issue on which all can harmon.
ize in the future as they did in the
campaign of last year: and as it is cer-
tain to be the dividing issue in all
future elections, unless the re-
publican party shall be able to inaugu-
rate perfect system Of bimetalism in
the United States within the next two
or four years, it becomes necessary
that the believers in the free coinage of
silver until in one solid party to battle
for one cause. Other issues of smaller
Importance on which the,denocrats,
populists and republicans cannot agree,
may be discarded for the present and
until the matter of finance has been
permanently settled.
The three parties in Iowa have united
on a plan that appears to be feasible,
which If carried out will result in the
formation of a party to which each can
lend its assistance, and would be
practicable in every state. A meeting
was recently held ia Des Moines, COM
posed of democrats, populists and silver
republicans, for the purpose of forming
a basis of operations in the next cam
paign and the following was adopted:
Profoundly convinced that there
can be neither business security nor
Industrial prosperity until we return
to the unrestricted coinage of both
gold and silver at the established
ratio, and until We adopt for ourselves
In independent American system of
1nance, We therefore unanimously
"F'irst-That the union of the free
silver forces effected in the state cam
'aien be declared permanent, upon
he basis recognized in that struggle.
"Second-We further recommend |
hat our state organizations be main
aimed. and that in the future all con-
conventions of'said parties, state, dis.
rict and county, be called to meet at
he same time and place, and that they
Igree upon the same candidates.
1--WE further recommend the imme-
late formation OF clubs in every
ownship and voting precinct in the
tate.
1--WE Also recommend the appoint
lent of committee from each party
D prepare and publish an address to

THEY WILL RETALIATE.

A bill bas been introduced in the
Washington legislature in which the
sheep raisers of Wasco county are di-
rectly interested, and should it become
law will result in their asking the
Oregon law makers to pass some retail
iatory measure. The bill provides that
all sheep entering Washington from
an adjoining state shall be quaran-
tined for period of sixty days before
being permitted to pass through the
state or be herded on the ranges there
of. The object of the measure Is to
prevent Oregon sheep being taken in
to Washington for the purpose of sum-
mering them in the mountain ranges
of that state. Should it become law,
it will prove great Inconvenience to
many sheep raisers OF Wasco county,
since large numbers of sheep owned
here are taken into Washington to
summer. If they were to be quaran-
tined for sixty days after entering the !
state they would virtually be ex-
cluded therefrom, for no owner could |
afford the expense OF a quarantine of |
his hocks for that length of time, es-
pecially at season of the year when
hey should be ranging on green
pasture.
Should the Washington legislature
enact such law, it would certainly
,all for the passage of retaliatory
MEASURE being demanded by the sheep
'aisers OF Oregon. A similar law
would opererate greatly to the disad-
'antage of the Washington sheepmen.
\ large number of their sheep are
into Oregon to be shipped.
md if they were compelled to submit
% quarantine of sixty days before
hey could be shipped through the
tate, the owners would be subjected
o serious Inconvenience. Either of
hese measures would be most obiec-
for trade and commerce of
very nature should be perfectly free
nd~unrestricted between neighboring
tates, though if Washington shall in
ist upon enacting such a law, it un-
oubtedly will he met with similar
ne in Oregon.

FINANCE "REFORMn


The national board of trade at Wash.
ington few days ago adopted a plan
for reforming the finances of the
country that will be urged before con-
gress. The plan is all on the side of
the bankers, and outlines the system
which they will insist upon as soon as
their henchmen shall get full control
OF the government. Briefly stated.
the plan is as follows:
"First-Gold coin shall remain
the standard money.
"Second-Steps shall be taken to re-
tire all United States notes in such a
way as not to disturb business rela-
tions. National banks be allowed to
issue currency to the par value of their
bonds. the tax on the circulation shall
be reduced and the banks be allowed
to issue currency based on their assets.
under such national supervision and
restrictions as will make it safe, elastic
and redeemable in gold at the bank of
issue and at the city of New York.
''Th1rd- Such banks of issue. with a

SENATORIAL ECONOMY.

The Oregon senate has sixty legis.
lative clerks under salary. There are
thirty members of the senate. The
senators also voted each of themselves
five dollars worth of stamps, a dollars
worth of wrappers and ten dollars
worth of Hills annotated code.
The marvel is that the public neces-
stiles of the senator's were so simple.
Two clerks and SIG worth of stamps.
wrappers and code to the man, pur-
chased with public funds under threat
that they might be officially needed
suggests that the senators should also
have voted themselves each a bicycle
to ride between senatorial boarding
houses and the capitol, a plug hat each
for better vindicating the states and
senatorial dignity, a jumping jack for
each ofthe senatorial children at home,
and~a photograph gallery to make
pictures of senators for free distribu-
tion among an admiring people. If
the first items were needed, SO were
the latter, and out of the spectacle
comes the conclusion that there is one
reason at least for the people to feel
thankful that the Oregon senate has
opportunity to be economical but
once in two years.-Corgallis Times.
