large profit the total of construction in pri.
vae shpyarls
Under the present system, the government does
little more than repair work in the navy yards, but
maintains them up to certain standard of efficiency
for actual construction. The theory of this is that
the ability of the government to construct its own
ships is check upon contractors in bidding To
what extent the shpbuildng contractors have an un-
dcrstanding among themselves regarding competitive
bidding, whether combination exists among
them, only he surmised At all events there can
he no doubt that the contract building is done at
profit. which should be saved to the government by
having its work done i'm its own navy Yards The
fixed expenses of maintaining these yards are very
heavy, and the more construction work they made
to do the lower will be the proportonae cost all
round.
One of the chief objections i'm the past to the
building of war vessels in the government navy yards
run Il political basis and were hotbeds of
iobbery and corruption But since the application Of
civil service rules to the management of the yards
there has been little complaint of this character At
all events there is why all such objections
may not be speedily removed by business.like ad.
mnistration of the war department as in the post
office and treasury departments. And it is question
if there have been any worse scandals in connection
with the navy yards than have attended some of the
shown for instance that the government is forced to
pay cXtortionate prices for armor,plate, much Of
which has been of inferior quality

raising the amount to he annually paid the governor
from 5000 to $500 as prison Inspector This same
Legislature made said amendment retroactive and
gave the governor back perquiste" of 5000 for the
years 1889 and 1900
An examination of the records will show that the
"perquisites" of the several state officers have in.
creasd threefod since 1883, and in the case of the
governor more than twelve.fold
With this in view, is il any wonder that the tax.
prayers are asked that our state officials be placed
upon reasonable fiat salaries? However, YOU argue
in your able editorial that this would also be uncon.
stitutona but you admit that if applied to all the
officials of the state it would prove more economical
way than the present "perQusite' system.
When the constitutional convention was in scs.
sion which fixed the salaries of the state officials an
amendment was offered to add the words "and no
more" after each officials stated salary, and the
amendment was debated and voted down
Now, it is apparent that the taxpayers of the
state of Oregon are sick and tired of our fces and
perqusites' SYSTEM and the people of all the parties
through their several state conventions demand that
our state officials he placed upon reasonable fiat sal
aries by our next legislature. Heretofore no such
general demand has come from the people of the
state of Oregon.
when the people unanimously demand that their
state officials be placed upon fiat salaries does not
that amount to II decision by the people themselves
interpreting the amount fixed i'm the constitution as
the minimum to be allowed as salaries to the state
officials and that the same may be raised whenever
found to be inadequate for the services of any state
official?
1t seems to me that the unanimous voice of the
people enlightened by object lessons operating
against their interests should he as the voice of God
unto their public servants

TilmOn Ford on Fees
and PerQuiSitieS

~ ILMON FORD replies to editorial in the
Orcgonian of the 9TH inst urging consttu
tional objections to the fiat salary PROPOSE
tion for all state officials, and also showing
that the system which has grown up in this state of
allowing fees and perquisitcs to the state officials is
in direct violation of our state constitution. lie
says 81 have since been looking into the matter
somewhat and it seems to me that your argument
against the fees and perquiStcs is unwarrantable.
This "pcrquisitc" system originated in 1864,
when the legislature passed an act allowing the gov
crnor an annual salary of 5000 for inspecting the pen
itcntary at least four times year
This clearly "perqusite' and in direct vo'
aton of the state constitution, but it seems it was
such small sum that the people did not notice it.
This seems to be the only "perquisite" allowed
to governors from that time until Governor MOodys
term of Office beginning in 1888, since which time the
'perquistes of the several state officials have been
multiplied at each succeeding session of the egisla
ture until it now requires much time to look them up
through the various session laws.
The governors "perqusites" have gone up from
5000 until they are $3.50 year, in addition to
his constitutional salary; the secretary of states
"perquisteS have gone up until they are now some
where between $4,000 and $4,000 Il year above his
constitutional salary and the state trcasurers per
quistes" have gone up until they now about $500
a year above his constitutional salary.
All the state officials, whether Democrats Re
pubcans, have accepted the "perquistes" doled out
to them the various sessions Of the legislatures cX
ccpt Governor w. W. Thayer. He served from 1879
to 1882, and he declined to receive 5000 year
prison inspector, which was then the only "perqu-
site' allowed IN 0ovcrnor and | am informed that
Governor Thayer refused the ''pcrquisc' ON the
ground that il was unconstitutional.

A Curious Certifi-
cate OF Character

- ENATOR KUYKENDALL tells the public
~ in this mornings Register how the bill to
~ cut off from Lane county four by twenty
miles of territory including much of the
Blue river mining district killed in the house by
the efforts of the house members after he allowed it
pass the senate, The senator has secured curious
certificate of character from Lane county gentlemen
who were prominently interested in saving the yalu
able strip of territory To Lane county 1t is extra
ordinary document Referring to his statement in the
Register they certify:
To the best of our knowledge and belief the above
communication is correct statement of the matters

the satisfaction of the secretary of state that such
person is the lawfully constituted candidate of the
party of which he claims to be the nominee Now if
any doubt existed Mr. Geers right to have his
name the official ballot as the candidate of the
Republican party of this state for L. $ senator it
would not have been placed there by the secretary of
state, Mr. Dunbar, (who is the bosom friend of Mr.
Fulton, Tan independent candidate for the Office of T.
s. senaorD and who would not have given the pres
tige of place the official ballot to Mr. Geer unless
in the sccrctarys Judgment, whose legal adviser Mr.
Fulton is reputed to bc) he deemed him clearly cnti
tied thereto
Now Mr.. Furnish who is on the same ticket and
Mr. Fulton, who seeing the nomination of Geer i'm
mnent in the convention, joined the Scott faction to
defeat any nomination by the conventions have formed
a combination for mutual benefits The former fur
nshes the funds the latter the talk in their Joint Of
fort to make the one governor and the other L. s.
senator The first trick taken by this combination of
money and wind the mutilation of the Repub
can state ticket it appears at the head of the col

verting public attention in this off year in politics
from important local and economical questions to
those pertaining to the islands beyond the sea- and
above all ignoring Mr. Geer's candidacy
Now in view of these facts, should the surprise"
expressed at Mr.. Geers absence from the Futon-Fur
nish rally have been unexpected" or should it not
have been rather of the expected sort? ndeed-woud
the failure of Mr. Gecr to read between the lines of
their pressing invitation, "will You walk into my par.
lor said the spider to the fly" have evidenced bad
ly impaired perspcacity?
To rccapituIate Mr. Gccr is the regular and only
candidate ON the Republican ticket for t. s. senator
Mr.. Fulton is an illegitmate candidate for the same
position. Mr.. Furnish and Mr. Fulton bolt the rcgu.
lar candidate and form Il combination to-
First defeat Mr. Geer at the polls with the result
if they shall succeed that in compliance with the law
(see session laws of 1901 PIP 14) before proceeding
to the election of L. =. senator the president of the
senate will he required to proclaim to the Joint con.
yention and to the world at large that c. T.. = Wood.
the Democratic candidate, is the choice of the people
of Oregon for the Office Of t. = senator
Next, elect Mr. Furnish who as governor. with
his money and patronage is TO influence the egisla.
ture to elect Mr. Fulton senator.

bolters not the friends of Governor Geer fully
