rHe socIALlsr eALARY pLANK.

THE SOCIALIST SALARY PLANK.
The state Socialist platform declares
that no state Official should receive
over two Thousand dollars a year.
That is mistake 30 far as the
figures are concerned, because II ex-
cludes all but rich men from the state
Offices.
The governor, treasurer and secre-
tary of state are important Offices, and
require the best men OF ability and
high character.
Il is doubtful II they could be Sc.
cured for $4,000 a year under present
conditions for the services they render
the people.
In the opinion of the writer the re.
suit would be better TO give those three
officers a fiat salary OF $4,000 a year,
than $4,000.
Il would be cheaper to the people,
and better in the long run. But that
may not be the proper figure. in the
judgment OF the legislature.
The Socialist figure Is not an arbi.
trary declaration. but more a demand
for fixed salary, aud is right In prin.
clple, but is too radical.
Under all the circumstances a $4,000
salary would work a social injustice,
and favor the wealthy man as against
the man * moderate means.

He Is a man no one Will always

is quite stubborn, in fact, and hard to

But the opposition type comes high
as legislator The prostitute style Of
position says yes, yes, to everybody.
He is in with everybody, and cannot
say mono, to any proposition This is
not settiemier.
Hence settlemier is not so popular
as some others. But he could be elect.
ed. and would make a safe man for
Marion county in the legislature, as he
has on the state fair board.

THE MARION COUNTY PROGRAM


The Marion county Republicans owe
a duty to the state IN pointing out the
way to a thorough reformation OF our
state government.
Marion county has been taken out OF
debt. her county tax reduced, her of.
hcers put on salaries. and all fees 90
into the treasury.
That simple rule laid down for our
state government would work change
of half a million to the good In the state
government
The people demand such a declara-
tion from the Republican delegates at
the Marion county convention March
goth, and II should be given them.
The Multnomah county convention
overlooked the TACT that there is urg
ent necessity for this reform, and they
said not word about t.
Multnomah county will come up and
demand a million for the Lewis and
Clark exposition. and. unless there Is
retrenchment somewhere, debt will be
forced on the state in the form OF a
bond issue.
Marion county dies not believe In ex-
trayagance or bonded debt. Il be-
lievos In straight business--more bust
ness and less politics.
