MUCH NEEDED REFORM.

The committee appointed by Con
gress to investigate the use and misuse
Of government publications has de-
cided upon a reduction OF nearly
1000, 900 volumes of documents. The
committee finds that hundreds OF tons
of documents are printed every year
that are of no interest to the people,
and at the rate they are piling up, it
will be but a short time until every
public building in Washington will
be filled with them. The same need
less extravaganza has been carried on
in Oregon on a smaller scale, and the
task of finding storage room for
surplus printed matter authorized by
the Legislature is causing the secre-
tary of State much worry and annoy
ance.
Thousands of copies of official re-
ports are ordered printed, where few
hundred copies would be sufficient for
all purposes. Among these useless
documents are reports Of the various
state institutions, reports OF state
boards and commissions, house and
senate journals, extra copies of pro-
posed bills, and numerous other pub
lications of similar character. Some
of these documents are mailed out by
the Secretary Of State, in an effort to
get rid of them, but usually find their
way into the hands of persons who
have little or no interest in them and
are soon dumped into the waste
basket The surplus stock is stored
away in the basement Of the Capitol
building, where it occupies needed
room and is Of no possible benefit to
any citizen of the state
A reform such has been started at
Washington is needed here in Oregon.
1t is time for the Legislature 70 put a
stop to this useless expenditure OF
the state funds and to place the state
printing on the economical business
basis where it belongs. The remedy
for this abuse rests with the Legisla-
ture, and not with the State Printer.
The Printer does only that work which
he is authorized to do, and it is nc
fault of his il thousands of dollars
are wasted each year in printing doc
uments for which the state has no use.
Good printing costs good money, and
the State Printer has no option other
than to do the printing which the
Legislature orders him to do.
This thing Of making the State
Printer the scapegoat for the sins OF
the Legislature should cease That
official probably has enough sins Of
his own to answer for, and each tut
should be made to stand on its OWL
bottom. If the people of Oregon will
stop cussing the State Printer long
enough to get right down to the hear
OF the abuse, they will find that the
Legislature and not the Printer
is responsible for the expenditure o.
fully hree-fourths Of the enormous
amount of money that is worse thar
wasted in the public printing depart
ment each year.

Over in Tillamook county, Abram
Hembree. a rancher. was tried on
charge of numbering his wife and
daughter and burning their bodies to
conceal the crime A fool jury brought
in a verdict of manslaughter. All OF
which leads to the thought that there
is seldom a term of criminal court
held that does not furnish good argu-
ment in favor of the abolition OF the
existing jury system.

The Corvallis Times. advocating q
reduction of insurance rates because
of the installation Of a gravity water
system, calls attention to the fact that
a considerable reduction in rates was
made in Dallas when the mountain
water system was completed. Yes, we
got the reduction in rates all right,
but after the San Francisco disaster
the old rates were restored and more
added to them and that's whathurts.

QUAIL DANGEROUS TO HANDLE

Game Commissioner Pinney yeSter-
 day swore to a complaint against the proprietors of the English Kitchen. charging them with violating the game laws of the territory in serving quail on toast to their customers. The menu card of the restaurant the day before bore the legend. quail on toast" in inconspicuous lettering with a lead pencil on a remote corner of the card. The game commissioner sent a couple of men there 10 ascertain if it was possible to actually get quail Their mission was successful. The matter will come up in Justice Johnstone's court this morning and probably a fine of sufficient weight will be imposed to show that quail are dangerous birds to traffic in. While the law allows the killing of quail for ones own use at certain seasons of the year and also the killing of wild turkey. and deer. none of these products of the chase can be sold. The sale of certain varis- ties of fish is prohibited by the laws of this territory.

8 VISITORS MISTAKE.
Cost the Lives of Ten Prisoners in the
 Philippines.

Manila, Dec. 3-Investigation made of the death at Bilibad where ten pris- oners inoculated with cholera germs instead of serum. which are so much alike that it is almost impossible tu distinguish them. shows that they were mixed in the laboratory by a visitor who examined the plague germs and. by mistake. placed them in the rack with the serum tube.
 This is said to have occurred during the temporary absence of Doctor B. P. Strong of the bureau of science, who has been conducting experiments and inoculating prisoners with cholera serum to test its efficiency. The na- tives generally are in ignorance of the situation but native newspapers are indignant and bitter. IL is not believed that criminal charges will be preferred but there will possibly be strong con- demnatiOn.

A Washington dispatch informs an interested public that there was noth- ing conventional" about Miss Ethe: Roosevelrs greeting to her father when he returned from his southern voyage. Why should there have been? Was it expected that the young wo- man would offer him the tips of her fingers and murmur that she was grat- flied at his homecoming in good health and spirits?

THE UTAH PUBLIC LANDS.

If the investigation of the alleged coal land frauds in Utah accomplishes nothing else, it has already evidently opened the eyes of the government to two things. One of them is that there is more coal land in Utah than had been supposed, and the other is the tendency of the state authorities to let go, to spectators, of lands over which they had been put in control, on the assumption that they were ag- Ficultural lands.
 In consequence. the government has manifested an unwillingness to trust the Utah state board any longer. and has decided to reassume control of the lands which are suspected of being coal lands.
 This reminds us that while the state hood campaign was in progress, one of the arguments used by The Repub- Iican against the statehood bill, was the provision which placed 2OOOO,OOO of acres of the public domain under the unrestricted control Of a legislature. It is not a comforting thought that no state legislature ought to be trusted with the disposition of the future wealth of a state. but experience has so far proved that legislatures are not to be trusted. There may be no lack of hon. esty, and there may even be no lack of Judgment, but the land department of a state is necessarily not sufficiently permanent to have control of large areas of public lands, especially now that public lands are growing scarce.
