A Bad LEGISLATURE.

| - 1..0 kSg4s4~sUIe.
The developments arising from
the wreckage of bad legislation and
uncalled for appropriations is be.
coming more and more apparent
Too many OF them went there fol
"self7' forgetting that they were sent
there by good, honest, Woodworking
people to whom Il dollar means a
great deal. The Posi- is the only
paper in Snyder county that has
dared to expose the wrong-doers in
the Legislature. 1t has dared to
expouse the cause of the taxpayers OF
Snyder county and the state Of
Pennsylvania. When n man takes
money illegally or votes for it to be
taken illegally from the Golfers of
the state, he is reachiug into the
pockets of every man in the entire
commonwealth.
The Governor vetoed $350,000
in appropriations and he should have
vetoed fully as much more making
about 100000 voted out that
should have been killed in the
embryo. ln attempt to justify such
grabs by saying that it was done be-
fore is about as logical as to say
that because Guteau shot Garfield,
some farmer in Center township has
a right to kill his neighbor in
Adams.
1t is about time for the people Of
Pennsylvania to cry 'halt" and the
people of Snyder county owe it to
themselves to guard against the i'm
position of those in power. But
there comes voice from every part
of the county, "What can we do ?"
"Who can we trust ?" The prob
lem does seem pcrplexing. The
power lies with the people if
they but assert it. If the people de-
mand more careful expenditure Of
public funds and exact pledge
with a bulldog oath before nomina-
ton and election, they will at least
lessen the reckless extravaganza
with public funds. Why not exact
of every candidate for representative
and every candidate for Senator to
obligatc himself to the people that
he will not accept any pay for mile
age or salary or anything else ex-
cept that expressly stated in the
Constitution and further that he
will not vote for any bill for like
items for another or for others?
OF course when these officers
elect are sworn in they swear to
support the Constitution of Penn'a,
but they do not seem to heed the
mandates of the constitution or their
obligation to support it, but if the
people rise up and make this de-
mand, it is at least more likely that
an officer, if he has any self respect
at all, will heed such demand.
The Posi- has done its duty to-
ward the people Of Snyder county.
1t has stood between those members
of the Legislature vino were willing
that the people should suffer and to
allow the charities of the state to be
cut short on the one side and the
honest toilers and taxpayers on the
other. Every dollar of a steal that
is voted out OF the State Treasury is
Il dollar out of the pockets of the
taxpayers. And any effort to be-
little the merits of newspaper in
exposing such wrongs is an indica-
ton that such exposures are a

A LEADER WANTED.

The new secretary Of agriculture is
said to be an enthusiast on the subiec,
Of sugar beet culture. He has made
an exhaustive study of the matter,
and has ascertained beyond the posi-
bility of a doubt that the soil OF the
United States is excellently adapted TO
the growth of the sugar beet Recent
experiments made By the department
SHOW thai the percentage Of saccharine
matter is as large in beets raised in
this country as in those grown in Ger
many. Feeling certain. therefore, that
We can raise all the sugar We can
consume, Secretary Wilson is energe;i-
cally at work endeavoring to get our
farmers interested in beet culture. that
this new and profitable industry may
be taken up without delay.
A special agent Of the agricultural
department is now in Missouri making
arrangements to begin the work The
plan adopted is 20 organize the farm
ers Of each county into blocks Of five
for the purpose Of experimenting in
the cultivation Of beets; each block
Of farmers TO be Furnished with all
the seed they need. and the only con-
dition being that samples Of the beets
grown shall be sent to the department
at the end of the season for analysis.
1t is intended that the work already
begun in Missouri shall be carried on
in other states, and the department
has purchased 5000 tons Of sugar beet
seed 10 be distributed upon the plan
outlined above. Seed will not be sent
to single individuals, but blocks Of five
farmers must be organized in the coun-
ties Of the states selected by the de-
partment in order to obtain free seed.
There is abundant testimony that
the soil OF Clatsop county is adapted
to the cultivation of this root, our tide
land flats being especially suited for
this purpose II ought not 10 be diff
cult to get five of the most progressive
farmers in this county to organize
themselves into the blocks Of five re-
quired by the department; each OF
whom would pledge himself to devote
a certain area to crop Of beets during
the coming season. Mr.. Stafford or
". ]. Ingalls, should take the matter
up before it gets too late, and, after
getting others to go in with them,
by communicating with Oregon's repre-
sentatives at Washington the neces-
sary quantity Of seed could doubtless
b. obtained without difficulty or ex>
pense. Farmers throughout the East
are reported to be much interested and
excited by the prospects OF growing
this remunerative crop, and it will be
a pity if this section Of Oregon should
allow the governments store Of seed
to be exhausted simply because no one
will take the lead in procuring our
share of the supply.
