County Bill
M angIed
COPY SENT TO THE GOVERNOR
TOO FULL OF ERRORS AND HE
RETURNED IT

The story of the typewriting of the
county government act, which had to
be done all over again at great ex-
graft in the Republican" legislature.
Most OF the work of the session espe-
cially that of the House, has been dis
tributed among Hone Rulers who were
in the last Legislature, or were its en-
ployes, and much of it has been so
badly done that it had to be done over
again.
When the county bill finally passed
both houses a final copy was ordered
typewriter, for presentation to t5,
Governor, such copy to be signed by
him and to become part of the ar
| chives of the Secretary's office. The
copy was made and sent to the Gov
ernor, and when he began to go through
it he found it so full of errors, some Of
them important omissions, that he
would not sign such a copy and sent il
back. This is not the first bill which
the Governor has had to reject because
of similar imperfections in the copy
sent to him. but in .ne case of the
county bill, the largest and longest bill
Gus one, as the cost of another copy
was in the neighbOrhood of two hum
dred dollars.
On Saturday the work of typewriting
the bill over again was begun and it
was continued all Saturday night and
Sunday with a larg, force of typewrit-
ers, in order that the bill might be
ready for the Governor today

the motion in favor of the report re-
commencing $12, 900 was carried
The finance committee submitted a
long list of reports, the members of the
committee in many cases being divided

ports, each signed by two members,
were sent in. The committee reported
favorably on Senator Cecil Browns bill
for a commission to pass upon the
claims of British subjects and others
imprisoned in 1895, also in favor of
Paele's bill to provide for the payment
of claims. Harris and Andrade re-
ported against Wright's Hawaii Tele

the proposed company too much lati-
tude while Kumalae, Kaniho and Da
mien favored the bill Both reports
were tabled.

ported in favor of the bill to repeal

considerable foreign capital in our local
securities has informed your committee

to it's clients that they are compelled
to withhold making investments here
unless this tax is removed" The re-
port also showed that the revenue from
the stamps was only $6,245 in the past
two years. Kaniho and Damien re-
ported against the bill. Both reports
were tabled.

drade favored the McCandless bill re-
lating to corporations, while Kaniho
and Damien reported against it anu

by moving the previous question just
as Kumalae rose and remarked that he
had lot of points to present. A mo-
tiOn for a recess was lost, in spite of
kumalae's promise to give his speech
after lunch if the previous question
was not voted. Then the previous
question carried and the bill was pass

COMPETENT PUBLIC SER
WANTS

The penitentiary sentences imposed
on josiah S. Smith and Charles r. Lane
BY Judge Mcbride yesterday brings to
close one of the most unique cases
on record in the criminal annals OF
Clatsop county, and incidentally ends
the career for term of years at least;
Of two of the most brazen criminals
that have ever operated in Astoria.
The arrest of these men and the sub
sequant conviction of Smith after a
trial lasting three days, followed by a
plea of guilty voluntarily entered by
Lane. was only made possible by the
dint Of hard work on the part of Dis
trict Attorney Harrison Allen, Sheriff
Linville and City Attorney A. NJ. Smith
peace officers of the county of Clatsop
and the city of Astoria respectively.
We measure the workfof our public
officials not so much by what they save
us in dollars and cents as by the pro-
lection they afford the community by
preserving the peace and ridding it of
lawlessness. In this case, however, the
diligent efforts of our public servants
saved the taxpayers thousands of dol
lars in actual cash and also secured
the conviction of two men, one ad-
Judged guilty of perjury by jury and
the other self confessed perjurer and
thief. These men have long practiced
their criminal operations in other cit
les, including Seattle and San Fran
cisco, where they secured large sums
of money for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by Book having
fallen on defective sidewalks. They
haffled the best legal talent of those
cities. and secured judgment against
the city of Astoria for $500, which
would have been satisfied on a COM
promise had not information reached
the peace officers that there was
crookedness in the case. Then it was
that the effective work was done, and
in the trial just ended the defendant
Smith became tangled in gill net
set for him by District Attorney Allen
and his able colleague on the case that ,
resulted in securing conviction at /
the hands of the jury. Sheriff Linville
aided in accumulating the evidence of
guilt against the men, and it was due
to his influence with Lane. alias Book,
that a plea of guilty was entered.
These men will now discard their civ
illan clothes for the striped garments
of convicts.. and viii change their
mes 20 numbers.
The people of Clatsop county and the
city of Astoria are fortunate in having
such able officers in their service. 1t
is to be hoped that their sue
efforts in this case will result in
bringing the publ so az better under-
standing and appreciation of the diff
ficulties under which they are often
compelled to labor, and that renewed
determination will make itself manifest !
among all classes of citizens to support
BUR local authorities in the performance
Of their sworn duty without fear or
favor.
