ONE STALL OF THE AUGERAN
STABLE THAT NEEDS
CLEANING BADLY.

| CLEA MING BADLY.
1t is a hopeful sign that there is to
be a new deal in the state treasury.
IL has for twenty years been dark
corner OF political intrigue, where
personal politics ami general con-
tempt for the public are the chief
rule Of conduct. After three years Of
hammering by THE JOURNAL where
by it incurred persistent boycott
and loss OF public patronage) the
semi annual report Of the condition
of the state treasury was reluctantly
made known through the press, but
not from the state, treasurer. His
statement must be filed with the
secretary OF state and governor, and
they decided to publish the report.
But the report showing about one
and "A. half millions Of money Ia the
state Treasurer's hands was in no
ma nner verified.
The governor and secretary OF
state did not approve the report to
the extent Of saying they bad seen
the money or were even satisfied as
TO its whereabouts. In Iowa the gcv-
ernor Is required once a month to per-
sonally check over the state funds as
reported TO be on hands by the state
treasurer. Here the law requires no
such action, or IL 1t Is required by In
ference, the custom has been TO let the
treasurer report what he pleases. The
treasurer does not take the people
into his confidence, and say: "G have
on band 50 much money, 1t is here
or 1t IS there, or wherever IL can be
DO seen and counted. l invite the
legislature or the state officers TO
count It,"
For these exposures aud demands
for light on the condition OF the
treasury there is the biennial legis
lative white wash, by a committee
ito IN gestigate and report on the
books aud accounts of the state treas
ury." -Four or five experts, politicians
waiting for a soft job at ten dollars a
day, are set at the perfectly harmless
amusement OF checking over vouchers
aud cancelled warrants that disclose
nothing.
This costs the State OF Oregon $1,000
or $1,000 and reveals not one iota as
TO the real status of the treasury. IL
IS the greatest fraud that can he prac-
ticed on the people In the name OF an
Investigation. There might be half
million dollars stolen or missing since
years and IL would not leak out In tie

will probably have 20 endure this

will be simply TO cover up fraud and

the old monopolized channels aud old

THE FUTURE OF SALEM.

There has been some hard work
done the past week for the future OF
Salem. Mayor-elect Bishop selected a
committee Of one alderman from each
ward, after an informal conference
with the old and the new council, TO
draft a charter for the city. At his
suggestion each OF the four charter
builders was authorized to add TO the
committee one citizen, making COM
mittee Of eight.
This committee has gone over the
old charters, the present charter, the
so-called Richardson charter and the
Portland and San francisco charters,
and they have come to the conclusion
that the city has been running with
out any charter, unless II was lot Of
provisions that interested parties had
got enacted for their own benefit.
The charters the city hss had prac.
tlcally left the city powerless except
to run In debt aud create salaries and
fees for officials.
This committee of citizens, COM
posed OF business men, bankers and
lawyers, propose TO draft a charter,
give IL an overhaullng by good legal
ability, aud then submit IL toa cit
liens mass-meeting for adoption or
rejection, before 1t goes 10 the legis.
lature. These citizens are all serving
without compensation and the charter
will be the work OF citizens and not
Of politicians.
These steps have all been taken by
the Mayor-elect, after consultation
with leaders OF TIE citizens moYe.
ment. The object seems TO be TO gel
at the fundamental problems pre-
sented and solve them, Que by one, IL
the most Just, rational and intelli
gent manner. Mr.. Bishop and his as
soclates lind they haye a great dut,
confronting them, with only q wrecl
to build upoB, and much divergence
OF opinion as to how TO proceed.
They have taken the very wlsest
course and one that will lead TO {
solution Of some, II not all, OF tn,
problems confronting them. Tht

gresslves and conservatives, OF met

itself.
Mr. Bishop expresses himself freely
Rs 70 the future outlook for this city
He states 70 the committee that he
wOuld like charter built and a plan
fer the conduct OF the city adopted
that is more than merely Temporary
makeshift. He would like to see pol
icies adopted for building this city
and managing It's affairs. covering a
a period Of at least tea years.
In taking this attitude, Mr., Bishop
has hit upon the profound truth, that
cities should not be built or managed
by chance. Like successful manu-
featuring or wholesale business there
must be wise program adopted coy
erlng period like ten or twenty
years, not only for the finances, but
for the growth and construction OF
the city itself. On these lines are
modern cities built.

Rah, rah, rah Santa Clara! Santa
Clarar
This yell of the San Jose High School
students sounded through the streets this
morning, and people realized that the
hght TO abolish politics in the San Jose
School Department was on in earnest. The
voices of about 100 boys and girls joined
IN this cry, and people along the sidewalks
waved their hats and 'kerchiefs and
cheered the pupils
Never before has such strenuous pro-
test been entered against the high-handed
manner in which the city Board of Edu-
cation has mixed politics with school af-
fairs. This rebuke given the trustees by
the High School students will be produce
. tive of lasting good. The students parents
have been aroused, and a battle to the
finish with the Rea gang has been COM
menced. The support given the students
by the people is a direct slap in the face
to Boss Rea and his methods of conduct
Ing the schools.
The history of the San Jose High School
trouble Is a long one. For the past two
or three years there have been petty jeal-
ousies among the faculty, and these cul-
minated in a general. dislike for Professor
Leigh r. Smith, vice-principal of the
school, and about the only one in that in
stituuon possessing regular high school
diploma. The other teachers held diplomas
normal school diplomas. Affairs went
from bad to worse, and in May last the
faculty failed TO re-elect Smith This
worked upon the students, with whom
Smith was a great favorite and at
meeting of the student body they resolved
to strike unless Smith was reinstated. The
school bOard-Trustees Graham. Wemple
O.Brien and Kenyon-then promised the
students Professor Smith would be re-
tanned if they would let the matter drop
IT leaked out that the Trustees were not
keeping faith with the pupils, and mass
meeting of citizens was neld to protest
against the removal of Professor Smith
Citizens and organizations took up the
matter and petitioned the Trustees to
keep Professor Smith in the school, but
without avail, and Charles B. Gleason
was elected to Smiths position.
This settled it, and the students became
hrmer than ever in their resolve to quit
the school The action of the school board
was denounced from the pulpits of the
city and charges of immortality were made
against members of the faculty.
Professor Smith was elected principal of
the Santa Clara High School, and ar
engagements were made by the students to
attend that school That the strike is
success is best evidenced by the fact that
