rest assured that there was no authority
for them.
Harry Joseph OF Salt Lake opposed
the resolution and was unwilling as a
Gentle and member OF the Republican
party TO put himself on record. The Re
publican party had never been guilty OF
this, but there may have been high eccle
siasts who had gone around TO their
friends and asked them TO do certain
things, as coming from the church, but
they had done 1t on their own responsi-
bility.
Lorin C. Woolley OF Davis said whenever
any Republican member OF the church
had come TO him and asked him TO vote
so and so, saying the authorities" de-
sired it, he had always asked them who
the authorities were. and they always
hesitated because he knew that the au
thorities of the church had proclaimed
long and loud that they did not want to
influence any mans vote.
Mrs, l.. c. Boynton of Cache opposed
the resolution and was for llberality of
thought and action.
Glasmann Extraordinary Plea.
william Glasmann, who held a proxy
from Weber, having been defeated in his
own district at Ogden, made the extraor-
binary plea that 10 adopt the resolution
would be an attack upon Apostle Smoot,

George Hicks OF Spanish Fork opposed
the resolution and threw a bouquet at
Smoot for attempting 10 secure pensions
for the Indian war veterans. of whom
the speaker was one.
Harrington Closes Discussion.
The discussion was closed by Daniel
Harrington, who introduced the resou-
ton, saying that Its purport waS to oxi

BAD PLEDGE TO SIGN.

we hear Of few men here ana
there who have the courage, for
doubtless it takes some degree of NOR
al courage, who contemplate being
candidates for the legislature, to re-
fuse to sign the pledge No. 1" set
out in the primary nomination law,
and We think they are as fully en-
titled to support, at least, as those
who sign the pledge. We have no
objection to candidates signing 1t, II
they really believe it is a good and
the right thing to do, but we believe
there are few such candidates, but
that most Of them who sign will co

IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

From many state papers and other
sources it appears that Farmer and
Doctor Withycombe is steadily gain
ing ground, and is constantly improv-
ing his chances for the Republican
nomination for governor. His work
takes him among farmers in all parts
of the state, with whom he is very pop
ular, not as a politician, for he has never
been one, but because of his ability
and high character and industry and
great usefulness. He has undoubtedly
been of greater and more beneficial
practical service to the farmers of
Oregon than any other man in the
state, and they appreciate it. And
when a man benefits the farmers,

LET IN THE HILL ROAD

A loud, clear, strong protest ought
to go up from the people of Portland
against the prolonged and persistent
efforts. especially when based on pure
ly technical grounds, Of the o. R. &
N. to keep the Portland G. Seattle
railroad, otherwise the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific line building
down the north bank of the Columbia
river, out OF this city, or at least to
delay and harrass its progress as
much as possible. OF course the peo-
pie cannot dictate to or interfere with
the courts, but they have right to ex-
press their sentiments on this ques-
tion freely and plainly, and it would
be well to do so. The daily papers
have spoken mildly in behalf of the
peoples interests in this important
matter, and might well become still
more vigorous and insistalt in de-
manding a prompt as well as right
of the matter. The people
want and need the Hill road here;
they want it as soon as possible:
they want no obstacles put in its way;
and they should make it clear that it
will not be advantageous to those who
are trying to prevent or delay this
road from crossing the peninsula and
river and securing needed terminal
grounds in Portland. Mr. Hill asked
Tor no bonus or right Of way, or any
special favors or privileges; the ad-
vent of his road here will be of i'm
nense value to Portland, and the peo-
pie Of this city should make it clear
hat they welcome and appreciate the
coming of this road and help 10 make
t easy. All these technical objections
md Instructions, with due Difference
@ the courts, should be brushed
iside as soon as possible, and the way
or the Hill road made clear.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

1t is unfortunate that the mayor
and council are at loggerheads, az
they have Deen ever since they went
into Office. On either side, at least in
some cases, it appears that the pub
lie interests are subordinated 70 petty
spitework. of which the people are be-
coming tired. In tne matter of fran
clises for proposed new light and
power companies the mayors execn-
tive beard fixed the terms so high that
it looked like design to protect and
perpetuate the present monopolies,
while on the other hand the council
reduced the franchise tax to what
MANY consider a ridiculously low rate,
one not at all in consonance or accord
with the prospects of this city, which
is destined to grow very rapidly, rem
dering such franchises exceedingly
valuable. If they cannot agree, the
executive board and council ought to
call in impartial experts and be guild
ed by their decision or advice, not
thus be butting against each other
merely to express and exhibit their
mutual grudges.
1t would be a boon to the people OF
this city to have another gas plant
and company established here, and it
should be encouraged and granted
on reasonable, liberal terms.
and in the meantime the present NAL
odorous monopoly should be subject to
a suitable franchise tax; but all this
should be. done solely with the inter
ests of the people in view; not as
seems to be the case, out of personal
and political spite and malevolence.
The mayor has made some bad breaks,
but that does not excuse the council
for opposing him and trying to put
him in a hole" on every possible oc-
casion.

EDITORIAL
INITIATIVE TAX BILLS.

The initiative is all right for use a:
to some one specified proposition, when
no other one on the same subject is
presented to be voted on at the same
time, but for the purpose of bringing
to a vote a voluminous and complicat-
ed assessment and taxation law, to
say nothing Of voting on two or more
such laws, conflicting in many partic-
ulars, would, if the proposed laws car
ry, lead only to endless litigation
trouble and loss, and to confusion
worse confounded" generally
A committee Of the Willamette Val
ley Development league has drafted
an elaborate assessment bill, which Is
to be voted on next June, and not one
voter in 100 will know whether, as
whole, it is an improvement on the
present taxation code or not. Com
petent men who have studied it say,
however, that while it has good points,
it has very serious defects, being in
some parts unconstitutional, in others
contradictory, and in others impracti-
cable, so that it is best to vote against
it.
The grangers have also prepared a
tax law and il both should be adopted
the two would conflict, and even
Philadelphia lawyer could not tell
what the law was. So the only safe
way is to vote against that too, lest
the state find itself in such mess
that it will be difficult and very expen-
sive to extricate itself.
The only proper way to amend the
taxation laws, either by the legisla-
ture or by the vote of the people, is
10 do one or Two particular, pIec'Ss
things at a time, and not attempt any
thing else in any one law. There
could and should be, for example
law taxing franchises, but this should
stand by itself and not be submitted
or considered in connection with any
other proposed changes in or additions
to the present laws. So with the tax
alton Of railroads; this question
should stand alone.
Unless those who get up bills to be
voted on at the general election will
confine themselves to single and, as
far as possible, simple propositions,
that the people can understand and
vote on by themselves, they should,
and we think will, vote down all these
laws.

A TRAVELLING GOVERNOR.

The pleasant governor of Oregon
has become a great traveller. He might
be termed the absentee governor, so
much of the time is he away from the
capital, and even from the state, at
tending Elks' conventions, or league
excursions, and swinging round the
circle generally, with frequent
tangent trips on the side.
For two or three weeks past
he has been on a prolonged jaunt
down in California, leaving the affairs
of state to his private secretary. 1t
is not to be expected that the gov
ernor will remain in the state house
six days in the week the year through,
or not break away from the rather
sedate town OF Salem occasionally,
but great many voters are thinking
that he has become rather too much
addicted to the travelling and junket-
ing habit to give due, careful and con-
attention to the dutieg OF
chief executive of the state. The gov
ernor has done some good things
while in Office, and has made few if
any bad mistakes, and he has a win
ming way and an ever-ready smile and
glad-hand; but it is perceived by
many, even of his own party, that he
Is by no means invulnerable, and it
probably will be demonstrated next
June that he is not invincible.

Gearin, for he may have more votes
than any Republican candidate. II
they care nothing about senator's
politics, this would be all right, for
Mr.. Gearin is a good man and will
make an able senator, but it will be
something new for Republican mem
bers Of the legislature to stand
pledged to vote for a Democrat for
United States senator.
The new age., 1906-01-27

for he is regarded in Washington, not
only by the president, but by leading
members OF congress, as one Of the
great editors of the country and as
Oregon's greatest man, and is listened
to accordingly, ard what he says is
sure to have much weight with the
powers that be.
This is the case all the more be-
cause Mr.. Scott is not an Office seeker,
nor desirous of any political prefer
ment. While he would be a very
strong man for Oregon to send to the
senate, and while three years ago he
would have accepted an election. it
is not likely that he will ever become
a candidate, and he Is doubtless sim
eere when he says he does not desire
this or any other Office, and that his
position as editor-in-chief of the great
est paper on the Pacific Coast is rne
OF sufficient honor and usefulness.
Portland and all Oregon are much
indebted to Mr.. Scott for his free ef-
forts in behalf of the jetty improve
ment and other needs of Oregon, as
they were for his weeks of unremun-
erative efforts in behalf of the Lewis
and Clark Fair appropriation. for his
is a potential voice at the national
capital, and in this emergency such
an one wcs badly needed there.

MR.. SCOTT AT WASHINGTON.

If congress should make desired ap-
propriations for the jetty at the mouth
of the Columbia, credit for that action
would be due in large measure no
doubt to the efforts and influence OF
Mr.. H. W. Scott, editor of the Orego-
nian, who has been in Washington
several weeks working for this object.
The work of Mr. ]. N. Teal, Mr. c. H.
Carey and others has been valuable,
but that of Mr.. Scott il peculiarly so,

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES SHY.

Still nobody except F. W. Mulkey,
who only wants the "short term
and very short it will be-less than
two months-has openly announced
himself as a candidate for United
States senator, though it is taken for
granted that Senator Gearin will be
the Democratic candidate. 1t is ru-
mored that while Judge Webster has
not at this writing fully decided, he
will conclude to run for county judge
again; Jonathan Bourne appears to
be preparing to fling himself into the
arena; ex-Judge Lowell, of Pendleton,
would like the Office, but recognizes
the fact that it must come to Multi
county; ana some others have
been mentioned" chiefly among them
being Mr.. T. B. Wilcox, who at the
proper time is expected to make the
necessary announcement, and we are
of the opinion that when he does,
nearly all opposition to him will dis
appear. as he appears to be the lnan
among those spoken of peculiarly H.
ted for the work for Oregon involved
in this position.

teaches them how to raise more and
better crops, to have better homes.
and to prosper, he benefits all other
classes of people, particularly the
merchants, for all are more or less di-
rectly dependent on the farmers, and
when they do well, all do well. DIR.
Withycombe is not only an ex-
tensive and practical farmer,
but he is a scholar and teach
er of much ability, good business
man, loyal Republican, and man
in every respect competent to fill the
office of governor. Mr.. Johns will get
quite good many votes, as will ex-
Governor Geer, but the indications are
that Mr.. Withycombe will easily be-
come the nominee.
Among the several candidates for
secretary of state none is better quail
fed or equipped for that important Of
fee than Mr.. F. T. Wrightman, of Sa-
lem, who for eight years has been an
assistant to Secretary of State Dun
bar, having especial charge of the cor
portation tax bureau. He is thorough
ly familiar with the duties of the Of
fee in every particular; is beyond
question entirely competent and trust
worthy, is a gentleman who is accom-
modating and democratic In manner
and has multitude of friends, and he
will poll a very large and very likely
the largest vote at the primaries in
April for this Office.
A third candidate for representative
in congress for the Second district
has appeared in the person of Hon.
John l.. Rand, state senator from
Baker county, but it is doubtful if he
will be any more acceptable, if even
as much so, to the rank and file of
Republican voters, than the other two 7
who had announced themselves.
Friends of Mr.. Johns, candidate for ,
governor, who live in the same town,
do not take kindly to the candidacy
Of either Lachner or Rand, and there
is certainly large fraction of Repub-
leans in Portland who would not
cheerfully support Rand
There appears to be rather too
many candidates up in Baker county,
as well as in Marion county. There
Is Mr.. Aitken, away up in the little
town of Huntington, who wants the
big fat Office of state treasurer, but
the chances are that be will have to
DO some very lively rustling in other
parts of the state to get it, and then
The result would be, to say the least,
doubtful in his case. He may be quite
4 big man in Huntington, but that
-own, though a good one of it's size,
IS a mighty small part of Oregon.
Some of the criticisms of Candidate
'or Representative Tooze in the First

grudge and malice, particu-
arly the slurs of the Newberg Graph
