UpTo THE PEOPLE.

Corvallis never, in all its history |
received as much unenviable ad- |
vertising abroad as it got lastweek.
Ali the smaller newspapers of the
state, as well as the larger ones,
commented on the 1atetragedy, and
naturally enough, in such a way
that Corvallis as to an orderly, law
abiding town, was placed in an
ugly light. Many of the COM
ments were of hostile charac-
ter, many sarcastic, 3 3 and the
effect of all is to leave in the public
mind Of the State of Oregon, a
false impression as to the real con-
ditions. Following as it does, the
undesirable advertising abroad that
has resulted from the irrational
behavior of the Holy Rollers, and
incidents that resulted therefrom,
the town suffers humiliation and
disgrace abroad, that will take
many months of quiet and order to
overcome. With Corvallis a col
lege town, where hundreds of young
men and young women are sent by
trustful parents elsewhere in the
state to be educated in those things
that make up a wise and useful
citizenship and properly balanced
society, it IS all very unfortunate
if not very injurious to the inter
ests of both the school and the
town.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns. the responsibility is in
part upon the citizens themselves.
It is wrong to attempt to place all
the blame on those in public place,
for unless the officers are well sup
ported by a well defined public SEN
timent in the law enforcement that
they undertake, an effective sup
preston of hoodlumism and other
improper conditions is impossible.
A strong article covering this idea,
reprinted from the Portland Ore
gonian, is to be found in another
column. The logical and only con-
clusion that follows is, it is up to
the people of Corvallis to say wheth-
er or not they want hoodlums on
the street at night, who oughtto be
in bed whether parents want them to
be or not. It is up to the people
of Corvallis to say whether or not
they intend longer to tolerate con-
ditions in which these hoodlums are
permitted to have intoxicants either
over a saloon bar. or from the hand
of the low scrub, who himself buys
it at the bar and carries it to a
waiting crowd of smart youths in a
back alley or in the public street.
1t is up to the people of Corvallis
to end these conditions and to save
Corvallis further disgrace and
humiliation at home and abroad,
and they have their means of max
ing the fact known. Let every
man in the town make up his
mind that there must be an end of
these things. let him say so to his
neighbor, and left both and all
others remain agreed and united on
the subject throughout all future
time, standing ever ready to sup
port and sustain the officers when
penalties are applied, and there will
be no more folly, no more unen-
viable advertising, no more blood
shed.

FOR ECONOMY'S SAKE.

There should be careful scrutiny
Of any man who is to stand as the
spokesman for Benton county in
the state legislature. The legisla.
1ature is the last place on earth
to send men prone to subterfuge,
scheming and dodging. The leg
islature, during sessions. is the re-
sort of designing lobbyists who
hatch out schemes for preying off
the people. 1t is the Mecca Of
gratis and grafters, and the brood
ing ground of those who are will
ing to pay a price for unholy leg
islation. 1t is place where there
is barter and traffic in which a vote
is swapped for useless appropri-
alton or vicious law in exchange
for dollars or for a vote for some
other unholy scheme or job. 1t is
the place where the schemer, trick
ster, and dodger finds a ready
market for his wares, and it is be-
cause of this that men sometimes
seek election to the legislature.
The net result of the frauds pract-
iced there. is appropriation bills
and other legislation so prohigate
that there seems no end to the
length of extravaganza to which
the practice will go.
If there is one thing more than
another that this state of
Oregon needs, it is honesty and
stamina in its legislators. If the
question of what are his party
affiliations were laid aside. and that
vital question, is he honest, reliable
and straightforward made the test
of election, there would quickly be
an end of the rotten conditions
that prevail biennially at Salem.
The question OF whether the leg
islator to be elected be democrat
or a republican cannot have the
slightest effect on the pocket book
of any man in Benton county; but
the question Of whether or not he
is conservative and substantial and
will set his vote and influence
against the reckless spending of the
peoples money is of vital and par
amount Importance to every man in
the county. The state tax that
Benton county has to pay this year
is practically S25. 900. 1t averages
perhaps SI2.5o for every voter in
the county. To some taxpayers
this mere item of state tax takes
hundreds of dollars of their money.
1t is scandalous, an objectionable
condition, that is the net result of
filling the legislatures with unre-
liable and scheming men, who
thrive on jobs and schemes and who
vote appropriations here and there
regardless of the cost, because not
they. but the people have the bill
to foot.
The people can help themselves
in these matters if they will try.
They can cut off the gratis and turn
the grafters down if they will stop
sending dodgers, schemers and
tricksters to the legislature.

REGISTRATION ENDS SATURDAY
Fifteenth Fails on suuday-Attorney
Generals Opinion,

Fifteenth rails on Suuuay-Attofney
Generals Opinion,
At five o'clock next Saturday
evening. registration comes to an
end. The law provides that it
shall end on the 18th, but the 18th
falls on Sunday. In response to an
inquiry from Clerk Moses. Attor
ney General Crawford has decided
that registration should end on the
14th. The following is from the
attorney generals letter:
Replying to your inquiry as to
whether your registration books
should be closed on Saturday the
I4th or Monday the 10th, permit
me to say that I am of the opinion
that they should be closed on Sat-
urday. ** The 18th Of May
falls on Sunday, and the supreme
court of this state has held that
Sunday is at common law, as adopt
ed and enforced in this state, a nom
judicial day. Therefore any judi
icial act done on that day is void,
and I am inclined to the opinion
that the registration OF voters is
! partly judicial in its nature. The
clerk must decide whether the ap-
plicant is an elector from the evi-
dence produced before him. There.
fore the clerk cannot perform the
duties required of him as registra-
ton officer on Sunday. The stat.
ute provides that he shall register
electors between the first Monday
in January and the hour of five
o'clock May 18th, at which time
the books shall be closed To dc
this and on Judicial day, the
books will have to be closed on Sat.
urday. x X In this matter,
the law fixes the date and the hour
and says it must be done prior to
that time. The time cannot be ex.
tended except by virtue of some
law expressly warranting the ex'
tension, and I find none. The
date hxed on a non.Jud1c1al day.
and there being no law extending
the time, the books must be closed
on the last judicial day of the per
iod fixed, which in this instance is
Saturday. The direction to the
county clerk to close his register
at the date fixed is mandatory, and
therefore all returns by notaries
public and justices of the peace O.
electors registered by them mus1
be filed with the county clerk
prior to the time he closes his reg
lister. He cannot, after having
closed his books, open them te
p1ace>thereon, returns rom notaries
etc."
The attorney generals letter was
received by Clerk Moses yesterday
morning
