Why Mcguire Was Nominated for
Governor.
Chicago Pos.

chicago Post.
California Democrats hold Representa-
tive OverStreet responsible for the dIsap-
pearance Of Judge Mcguire from congress.
When Mr.. oVerstreet was out on the coast
on his wedding trip early last summer he
went into conference with the Republican
leaders in San Francisco. They we're dis
cussing plans for knocking out Judge Ma
guire. who is q Democrat. and who is I'M
mensey popular In San Francisco. MIR.
Overstreet listened 10 the talk and then
casually remarked that the emily way they
could keep Mcguire out OF congress was 10
put up a job and have him nominated for
governor and beat him thai way. The sug-
geStion met with instant favor and was
acted on. Judge Mcguire owes his nomina-
ton 10 the very friendly interest taken in
him by Republicans. He naturally thought
that the Republicans who wanted him
nominated for governor would vote for
him and felt compiimented. They were
just mailing him up as a target 10 shoot
at as he found out afterward to lis sor-
fnM.

A correspondent Of the Post-Intes-
ligencer makes the suggestion that
county warrants be received in pay
rnent for county taxes. His chief OBJ
ject seems 70 be to increase the value
OF county warrants from sixty-hve
cents, al which he says they are now
selling, to their face value. II the war
rants were turned In for taxes in some
OF the counties. they would have TO be
paid out again and another discount
would have 10 be allowed. because those
counties have not money enough 10 re-
deem them as fast az they are present
ed, otherwise, Of course. they would
be called In.
II is unfortunate that some Of the
counties have issued more warrants
than they can gather in, bat much
better plan would be 10 fund those war
bonds. and pay that low rate OF inter
est instead OF issuing the warrants over
again at a discount Of from fifteen
down to .orty-five per cent, and con-
tinue to pay ten per cent interest per
annum No warrant should ever be

afg ax-4e hot
the next Legislature should extend the
time for the payment Of delinquent
taxes at the same low rate of interest
as that allowed by the last Legislature
There is much 20 be said on both sides
OF this subject. There Was consider
able opposition to II at the time the
bin was passed. and there was a sort
of promise that IL it were permitted 10
go through no further attempt would
be made 10 obtain an extension. The
objection made at the time WAS that #
the interest on delinquent taxes was
er would find Ii to his advantage To
neglect paying his taxes. and lend out
his money at current rates. The bill
never would have gone through II II
had not been for the representations
that many poor people would lose their
homes because their failure to pay back
taxes gave the mortgage the right to
foreclose. Many took advantage OF the
reduction in the rate of interest, and il
might be as we'll for the members of the
legislature to thoroughly understand
the proportion OF delinquents TO those
who have paid up and the character Of
the land upon which the delinquency
rests.
In some counties the taxpayers have
not been so fortunate as in others. and
the times did not pick up quickly
enough 10 enable them TO get in under
the shelter Of the lenient law. 1t might
be good policy for their sake To risk do
ing more than justice in some other
places, The law must be the same as
10 all. OF course.

c unties will be in better position To
call in their warrants. but 1t would be
the height of folly to start an endless
chain

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1898-01-28
Salem School District,
Hard Propositions for Financiers to
WrestIe With.
Cost Of Insurance, Janitors and Interest Is
About $1,000.

IL is problem worthy OF the at
tentiOn OF our best financial geniuses
how TO reduce the running expense
OF our public schools at the same
time not lower the standard.
The district has levied a six mil
| tax. There were not over twenty
persons at the meeting that made The
levy. The JOURNAL has not beer
convinced that six mills on the dis
tricL valuation for 1897 will produce
enough money TO defray the current
| years eXpenses-that is the school,
| year lS98-Y9. We have shown that
the district is l6 months behind IN
It's finances; that by the end uf the
school year, and the time the tax levy
begins TO come In thedistrict will haye
floating debt Of S25, 200 according tC
the clerks report; that when the
schools open In September the direct
Ors will have 70 begin borrowing
again on their notes.
This In addition TO the large bonded
debt, which there is no provision for
payment, makes an annual interest
burden on the district OF over four
thousand dollars year. With $l72l
a year janitOr salaries, and Sl560 in
surance that must soon be paid, no
one can figure out but there will be a
deficit at the end'of the year lSyS.99.
Besides there is prospect of litigation
growing out OF the Marion county as
sessment and the floating debt may be
Increased by that. Now IL is not just
10 the members Of the school board
TO make them carry the floating
debt as they do carry IL on their per-
sonal notes. 1t is not Ia safe propo-
sltiOn and the banks do not consider
the loan desirable one even at
seven percent. The district can get
all the money IL needs TO fund its
floating debt at four percent and that
is what should be done. The district
should vote TO have IL done or the
school board should find some way to
do that and get the district on cash
basis With that reduction aud by
refunding the East Salem school
half the interest burden could be re-
duced.
No one can explain why this dis
trict needs 80 large levy as six mills,
in addition To the county levy aud
state ppOrtiOnment, when Portland
gets along with mill toamill and a
half, and other valley cities only levy
two 10 four mills. THE JOURNAL Is
not prepared To say why this district
collects so much more than the others
but would like TO know.
INSURANCE
on the school buildings is carried to
the amount OF $5S,000. $4,000 on
buildings in the city cost $3.50 per
one hundred dollars, and s22, 900 on
buildings outside the city cost SO
per hundred. Total cost for insur-
ance 1880 for three years and this in
surance must be renewed in IA short
time.

Gallows Being Built.

HHLSBoRo, Or, Jan. 27.-WOrk on
the gallOws on which Gus Wachline
will be hanged, FEBRUARY 4, has been
resumed. On account OF an extension
OF time having been granted Wach.
lines attorneys in which TO perfect
an appeal To the supreme court, the
work was suspended last week. 1t
will now be pushed to completion.
The general opinion seems to be that
Wachline will hang, as there Is little
likelihood of an appeal being granted
or OF Communication OF sentence by
the governor. Wachline's statement
is looked upon as not increasing the
chances for prolonging his life. No
arrests have been made as a result OF
the statement, and none are likely to
be made.
Bobert Buck, upon whom Wachline
sought TO shift the blame for the
murder OF Ledrlck, was acquitted OF
the charge on preliminary eXamina-
tion shortly after the discovery of
Ledrick's body, about three years
ago. AT The nearing IL was proven
that Buck, on Friday night mentioned
in Wachline's statement as the time
of the murder, attended a political
meeting, aud did'nOt leave iJ until
about 10 o'clock. This fact does not
correspond with Wachline's state
ment, 1t Is thought Wachline will
make other statements before. the
time OF his execution,

above party advantage. He said
among other things:
1t Is Noticeable that every rascal IS
always an extreme partisan, and hOl-
lers patriotism and party loyalty 50
that you cannot hit MIN without
breaking plate glass. The mOnoDO-
list, the franchise grabbeT. the LOBBY
ist, the political apostles Of "bOOdles. -
are all extreme partisans. and when
anyone exposes their schemes or OBJ
structs their ambitious they wrap
themselves in the flag and cry you are
attacking the party.
Governor Pingree is a Republican
who has won many a hard fight
against municipal and state machines
in his own party. He has been bit
terly attacked because he was bold
enough TO declare that the corpora
tions who were firmly entrenched be
hind "the party in power" were not
bearing their just burdens Of taxation.
When he sought 10 compel the street
railway corporations Of Detroit To re-
duce their fares In return for valuable
franchises he was admOnished that he
would destroy the Republican party.
But Mr.. Pingree presents in his re-
markable career a fOrcible Illustration
OF the tendency Of the people to re-
ward those who are bold enough tn
defy the party bosses. Party loyalty
in support OF some great national is
sue is wise and praiseworthy. But
when used TO force or cajOle men into
the support Of dishonest men or meas.
ures IL IS menace TO good govern
ment.
