The Obtu.e English Again.

Two Englishmen were discus sing with
Mark Twain the old topic of American
humor as not appreciated by foreign
ers.
But, are the English really so OBJ.
tuse?" asked one of them.
"Obtuse! You can't get an idea into
an Englishlnan's head with a surgical
operation" declared Mark Twain.
The questioner remained in solemn
thought for moment. Then lie broke
into a hearty laugh.
quite delicious joker he exclaimed
Though, of course, if you Were to open
the E,.glish1nan's skull you would kill
him. would you not?"
Mark Twain turned to the second En-.
glishman. What did I tell you? He
wants to know whether it would kill
him."
The ccuntenance of the second Fin.
giishman was like blank wall.
Wouldn't it?" he queried.-New York

Completes for the Prize for
Salary Scheme.

Governors Salary.

EDIroR JoURNAL:--You ask through
the columns Of your paper for articleI
on what the people think should be the
proper salaries for our five principa
state officials, namely: The governor,
secretary Of state treasurer, state print
or and superintendent Of public echools.
The readers OF your paper know by
this time what salaries the aforesaid off,
oials arc nov receiving, therefore It ID
not necessary 10 repeat those iguIe'.
After a careful consideration OF the
duties and responsibility Of each office,
| recommend the following figures:
To be Governor or chief executive Of a
great commonwealth like Oregon, is a
responsible position, and should, 1 be-
lleve, be- the best paid Office. Think
the governor should receive as fixed
salary per Annum the sum OF $4,000.
That is In itsoll a neat little sum, and
makes the governor very we'll paid la
diVuAl.
Then a. Tor the secretary Of state, his
responsibility is not 30 large and his sal
Ary should be rated accordingly. be-
lieve the sum OF $1,000 sufficient for the
duties and needs Of that office.
The office OF treasurer is believe,
next In responsibility 10 that Of thegover.
nor, but as bic position is rated below
that OF secretary OF state, IL would not
do TO pay him more than that official.
aud, therefore, believe he should re-

oeive the same salary, naTely $4,000
per annum,
Aud nov the state printer, the best
paid man Of the live, his responsibility
Is not great, the dutios OF his office
aud position are not great therefore he
should receive fixed salary not exceed
Ing $1,000 per year, flr that sum alone
would make him we'll paid official, As
for the state superintendent, he should
receive, think, sum not exceeding
$3.50 per annul0.
These above named salaries won q

qusiIes now received by these same f.
dclals c.uli bo turned into the state
treasury anl when their laries are

STATE AUDITOR CROUTER ON
THE FINANCES OF COLORADO

Ing NO information except statement
Of taxes RENTED to the state treasur-
er. The report recommends = travel
ing auditor to investigate the different
county and state Institutions. It rec
ommends that the money accruing
from the game fund be held intact for
appropriation. or turned into the gem
eral revenue fund for the redemption
Of warrants
1t is further recommended that the
fees collected by the boiler inspector
be turned into the treasury. The cor
poration license tax department has
been source Of disappointment 10 far
~ the amount Of revenue derived ia
concerned. Since the act was amend
ed and taxation lowered, the Income
has been Insignificant In comparison
with other departments. Mr.. Crouter
recommends that the taxation be
changed to tho original fee. or the de-
partment aboltshed. The report speaks
of the salary of the auditor. $2,500. and
recommends an increase to 1890.
Because the large corporations re-
fused to pay taxes upon their 1901 as
sessments, except In few counties
where compromise has been effected,
the auditor finds 1t dihicult to make ac-
curate estimate Of the excess revenues
that will accrue to the general revenue
fund for 1901 and 1902. Should the
corporations pay nfty per cent. Of the
taxes charged against them. the report
estimates an excess revenue of about
5000, 900 for the biennial period. after
having paid all the appropriations.
The auditor recomme1oB an Appropria-
ton Of this money for the payment Of
deficiency claims of previous admins
tratipns and the redemption Of out
standing warrants OF previous
years.
Mr.. Crputei calls attention to the ex-
cellent record Of the insurance depart
ment, and reports an increase Of $42.-
923.57. The floating debt Of the state
has been decreased over $300, 900 in the
last two years. Should this record be
maintained, It will be only few years
before the state will BE- ON cash basis.

was the prevailing opinion that Mr..

ing that he owed 1t to his family to
make some money. There are men.
some of whom the Mazet inquiry In
New York brought to light, who grow
rich through their connection with
politics. but who could not earn very
much money by legitimate private ef-
fort. Mr.. Reed was Of exactly the OPP

gave energy to public AFFAIRS. although
