CITIZENS
I,OIINTY

With the highest county tax in the state, with
debt rapidly mounting up into the hundreds OF thou
sands with current expenses nearly double what IL is
in Marion county, the Citizens ticket should win.
While senator Porter, the Republican editor and
paCe.maker for Geo c. Browncll, has dropped out of
politics since he defeated for state printer,
Brownel is making the fight of his life TO be returned
While Brownell is not responsible for all the bad
work done by the Cackamas politicians, and is the
champion of some good laws, his whole influence is
east on the side of the grafters and works evil at
Wholesale Br0wnell prefers the chairmanship of
railroads To any office earth
The opposition parties have all laid down and put
up Citizens ticket and their convention was one of
the largest ever held in Cackamas county. lt was
composed of Democrats POpulsts and Republicans,
and represented every recaciuant element in the
county. full county ticket was nominated, and will
be known the Citizens ticket Ii is the outcome of
a movement To fuse all elements dissatisfied with Re
publican rule and Senator Brownell,
The Democrats We're the leaders in the fusion
movement, and have the largest following, hut they
did not receive the majority of the Offices. The head
of the ticket George w, Grace, is business man of

offices at Salem and Portland doing the state work
These commercial offices would pay rent, would pay
taxes, would employ union labor at good wages, all
the year round and the state printer would do his
work for fiat salary, and CRAFTS for the bOOders
Under all these circumstances the thing for the
people to do if they want reform, is to defeat the Re
publican candidate, Mr.. Whitney. II is true he is
running on fiat salary platform, but that platform
is qualified and the constitutional provision will be
relied to not have the law passed by the legislature
apply to his Office. In the Of that Office the
stiuon says the legislature shall fix his cOmpensa.
ton, but it shall not be raised or lowered during his
term of Office.
If voters of Oregon want to break the political
graft the state printing Office they hOuld vote for

fiat salary platform, without quail 'dcatiOns, who
will take any fair salary the legislature will give him.

Mr. Godfrey will accept the Office on these terms
and the Legislature should pass law at the same time
it puts through II salary bill to require that all state
printing should be done at union offices, and at union
scale prices for labor. That would protect organized
labor and break up the present corrupt system of
managing the state printing 1t is up labor organi

OUT OF POLITICS.

The proprietor of this paper is now out of poll
ties, and any man should not mix in politics if he is
going to run newspaper. AS long as Il newspaper
man holds Office he is constrained to frequently
take stand against his Judgment So long as he is
member of the official family he is in honor bound to
stand by their acts. If he is free from any political
obligations he is also free to say and do those things
that his political Judgment dictates should be done In
other words when he is out of politics there are no
strings on him, and he advocate those men and
measures that will tend to the best advancement of the
county and state without any political obligations TO
hamper him.-OregOn City Enterprise.

For the sake of getting at the matter in manner
that the people understand, The journal desires
to ask the Orcgonian To point out two things First,
where has Simon gone greatly wrong in his support
of or opposition to public measures coming before the
Senate since he has been member of that body? That
will have something to do with determining whether
he is safe public servant Secondly i'm what manner
in he any worse political manipulation in local pol
itCs than the OregOnian has on thousand dill
eren occasions asserted every member of the present

and Ike Patterson Old, and even comparatively new
files of the OrcgOnian make mighty intcrestn

said To be the daily subsistence of those with whom

time reader and amirer of the Oregonan who has not
had his esteem for that paper greatly lowered by its

MUSICAL DIRECTOR DROPPED

Little Rock, Ark, April 28.-The Little Rock School Board is dropping features of special work that some have chosen to denominate fads. First, the art teacher went after a few years trial, and then the director of gymnastics and physical training was dispensed with last year. The latest reform along this line is to drop the musical director, who has survived longer than any other, and by the public generally has been considered valuable adjunct to the public school curriculum. The latter was adopted Saturday night at the meeting of the board by vote of 4 to 2. Prof. w. w. Lanthurn is the present director, and has held the position since the departure of Prof. R. J. Hall, now of Memphis. A resolution was also adopted by the board looking to re- vision and improvement of the cur riculum of the schools.

MAY LOSE DIVISION POINT.

While Newport is pushing forward and acquiring new industries and rail roads, it has begun to appear that the city stands good chance of losing the local freight Iron Mountain division point.
 Only few days ago, the local di- vision point on the south end was changed from Malvern to Gurdon, making from Little Rock to Gurdon one run and from Gurdon to Texar- kama another.
 From Walnut Ridge, well authenti- cated news has been received that Walter Cotter, general superintendent of the Iron Mountain, visited that city a few days ago and made the town this kind of proposition. For strip of ground 400 feet wide running along the main track from Walnut Ridge to Hoxie, to be used for switch track, the Iron Mountain would agree to re- move the local freight division now at Newport to that city.
 The proposition was made to tha city through s. c. Dowell, land agent for the Iron Mountain, who lives at Walnut Ridge. Should Newport lose the division, Poplar Bluff would also stand to lose, as with Walnut Ridge a point, the distance of that run would be cut to 59 miles. Piedmont might land the other division point. Should the change be effected, the Walnut Ridge Little Rock division would be 121 miles in length, which would be an improbably long one.

NEITHER REMMEL

An Associated Press dispatch from Washington says that President Roosevelt has informed the Republi- can leaders of Arkansas that he will not reappoint Hon. H. L.

Tucker of Clover Bend for collector. No confirmation of the reportha been received by any of the party leaders in Little Rock, and it is supposed that the notification was given Gen. Pow ell Clayton, who is now in Washing ton. The news occasions no surprise among those who have kept up with the current of Republican politics.
