The Eugene Register hits the nail
sqnarely on the head when it says
that the clerkship graft will not be
done away with until Oregon gets
wise and provides decent salary for
the members of the Legislature. There
are clerks in the Legislature today re-
ceiving much higher salaries than
are paid to the lawmakers. Small
boys who are serving as pages, and
who are incapable Of earning more
than 50 cents day at any other occu-
patton, are drawing SIS day out the
public treasury, while the senators
and representatives are allowed only
49, This condition of affairs is nothing
short Of ridiculous. The graft will
continue, however, until the Legislators
are paid salary sufficient to justify
them in employing clerks at their
own expense. When this is done,
there will be no danger Of more clerks
being employed than are actually
needed. The present system merely
provides an opportunity for the pay
ment Of personal political debts at the
expense of the people, but there is not
much hope for any immediate relief
from the graft, and IS committee
clerks and $5 pages will probably in
crease in numbers with each succeed
ing session Of the Oregon Legislature.

The Governor vetoes the Port OF
Portland bill because he deems it un-
constitutional. A most shallow reason.
In Oregon nothing is "unconstitu-
tlonal." This talk about "unconstitu-
tionality" is the poorest and cheapest
stuff OF our times. Whatever
majority Of the Legislature wants, or
may sanction, from one session to
another, is constitutional-or rather
the constitution has nothing to do
with it, There is no constitution to
check anything that the Legislature,
through "log-rolIing," may desire or
enact; and the Governor himself is
receiving unconstitutional "perquis-
ties, " in large sums. And he knows
it. And in all probability-thatis, is, we
may suppose-he will approve the
bill just passed, to make unconstitu-
tlonal salaries permanent salaries,
and to give them the sanction Of law
in defiance Of the constitution. There
is nothing unconstitutional in Ore
gon. All talk about it is poor stuff
and cheap tigment. Let the Governor
of Oregon cease to violate the consti-
tuition himself and to put the money
in his pocket-and then he may talk
about violations of the constitution.
This is not criticism of the present
Governor, merely. 1t refers to a long
line of his predecessors. But it is
grotesque, when a Governor of Ore
gon, beneficiary OF constitutional vio-
lation, censures violation Of the
constitution by others. Violation of
the constitution has been steady
practice these thirty years-with APP
proval Of all Governors, including
Governor Chamberlain. 1t is rather
late to protest and entirely supernuous.

honored by every member Of the great
order which he founded. The news Of
his death, while not unexpected, will
be received with profound grief by
every Woodman I mourn his death
as that of personal friend.
b. @, kirkpatrick, delegate from
Oregon to former sessions of the Head
Camp-F. A. Falkenburg was one of
the most pleasant and lovable men
have ever known. Prosperity never
changed him. [ had enjoyed the
pleasure Of his acquaintance from the
time he instituted the Pacific Juris-
diction Of Woodmen-a time when his
finances were at a low ebb and when
ne was obliged to make great personal
sacrifices in order to carry out his
cherished plans-and he vas always
the same cheerful, hopeful and
courteous gentleman. Next to his
family, Woodcraft was first in his
heart, and he never ceased to labor
diligently for its advancement. even
after the order had grown to be one of
the strongest in the nation. One of
the secrets of his popularity in the
order was his strict sense of Justice.
AS presiding officer and in the distri-
button of offices, he was always fair
and impartial. His death is a sad
blow, and nowhere will the loss be
more sincerely mourned than in the
humble ZONES of widows and orphans
whose darkest hours have been
frightened by the benefcence of the
order he founded and loved. Mr.
FaIkenburg was easily the brightest
light among fraternal insurance men
in the world, and his place will be
difficult to fill.
Inc following message of condolences
was wired to Mrs. Falkenburg by
Dallas Camp, Tuesday evening:
DALLAS, DR., Feb. IA, 1905.
Mrs. F. A. Falkenburg.
Los Angeles, CAL,
The neighbors of Dallas Camn
tender you their most heartfelt svm-
pathy in the passing away of our
grand old man. 1t is a loss to us all
that can never be repaired, a sad blow
that will take us years to recover from
May our fraternal sympathy enable
you to bear the loss with the resigna-
Ilon and fortitude accorded the will Of
the Master and as the beloved wife of
one who has certainly done his life
work well. "

V. P. Fiske, editor of the Oregon

United States have suffered a great
loss in the death Of F. A. Falkenburg.
As Presidentof the Fraternal Congress
Of America, he had formulated many
plans that would have proved OF in
estimable benefit to the various
fraternities, and it will be difficult to
secure a competent man to take his
place. Mr.. Falkenburg was a born

F. A. Falkenburg, head consul OF
the Woodmen of the World, and presi-
dent Of the National Fraternal
Congress, died Tuesday in LosAngeles,
Of a complication of nervous and
kidney troubles Mr.. Falkenburg was
taken to LosAngeles from Denver two
weeks ago, in the hope that a lower
altitude would benefit him. Two weeks
ago his case was given up as hopeless.
The remains will be shipped to Denver
for interment.
Mr.. Falkenburg was born in 1857,
and has been prominent in fraternal
circles for many years. Together
with Joseph G. Root, the head consul
of the Modern Woodmen of America,
he founded the order of the Woodmen
of the World in 1890, and has been

trip giving him $2O2.5O Graham and

80 cents apiece. Senator r. A. Booth.
Speaker Mills and Representative
Mears do not claim mileage. The
assumption is that these members do
not think it is necessary to accept
transportation at the hands of the
state, so long as they have travelled
on passes. S. B. Linthicum, Of Multi

round-trip fare between Portland and

county, will draw $4s.3U. Repre-
sentative Cooper will receive $5s so,
and Representative Fawk, SO. The
mileage includes any trips of Joint

it sounds like talk over telephone.

did not get any presents and carried

there they talked and played for some

would not allow her to enter the room.

standing at the window in animated
