WONDER IF COIN
WILL HOLU OUT
Appropriation Bills Tremble
In Balance, With Odds
Against Them

Everybody who has bills carrying
appropriations-and they are legion
as we'll as lusty-is interested in the
report of the appropriations committee
on the amount of money available for
the purpose of spending on state en-
terprises, says the Boise Statesman.
1t is not expected that the report
will be made for a week or ten days,
by which time the session will be on
! its last legs with not more than two
weeks to run. As there are several
dozen bills which carry appropriations
and which depend upon the report of
| this committee those interested in
such bills are beginning to have bad
dreams o nights, lest their chance has
come too late, after all the money is
exhausted.
Last Legislative Appropriations
The last legislature appropriated the
sum of $S22 $50 for all the various de-
partments of the state government.
ms, however, ulO not cover ali the
expenses of the state as deficiency
warrants were issued considerably in
excess of 100000 after exhausting the
appropriations.
The state auditors report issued up
to October l estimates the needs of the
state at approximately $4,000. This
is far short of bills now before tire
legislature, which, not counting the
regular state departments estimates,
which have not yet been filed, are es-
timated to approximate a million
dollars.
The university is asking in one way
and another. close to 100000. outside
of the appropriations for maintenance
The jute mill for the penitentiary asks
for $3.50, 900. The Lewiston bridge will
ask for $4,000 upward. Other state
bridges will approximate $5O,Oeo. The
Academy of Idaho will ask for $4,000
exclusive of maintenance.

Oregon Facts Desired.
Especial Correspondence
Portland. Or. Jan. Z. LOO;

AOItiahu, VI, Jan. Z, l9Ui.
Never at any time since Oregon be-
came state has there been such wide-
spread interest in her development, as
is evidenced by the letters received
from all parts OF the United States by
the Oregon Development League.
President t. B. Wilcox, of the State
League, has just authorized all increase

liable agricultural publications of large
circulation. These advertisements are
devoted exclusively to the agricultural

farm population that Oregon needs

and prosper. With that end in view
Oregon is being advertised as never be.
fore, and the inquiry is three times as
great as it was during the Lewis & Clark
Exposition.
Many communities of the State are
sending out literature to inquirers, lists
of whom are being furnished to each
and every one Of the sixty-three organ
lzations composing the Oregon Develop
ment League. Letters of inquiry are
coming in many languages English.
German, Swedish and Polish lead; let
ters are coming from every state in the
Union, but Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas,
Wisconsin, the Dakotas and Nebraska,
are about equal in number, and il is
from just these portions of the United
States that we want our immigration.
An accurate conception OF the enormous
correspondence can best be had from
the fact that it cost $527 to pay the out
going postage for the past twenty-five
days from the Portland office alone.
Remember that it is in January that
you get more readers than any other
month, because the farmers in the cold
sections of the country are resting, but
February is also important. One piece
OF literature and personal letter sent
today are worth more than ten during
the farmers busy season.

A Law for Lawmakers.

III some of the state institutions find
common prejudice against them they
may perhaps discover the reason 70,
that feeling by review of their own
practice. When, for example. the Leg.
islature appropriates $4,000 for con-
struction, furnishing and equipment OF
certain building and the management
OF the institution expends the money
in partial construction of a building
and then comes back to the Legislature
asking for further appropriation to
complete the work and to purchase and
furniture and other equipment, it is
not surprising that there should be a
ceiling that the servant has assumed
the authority of the master.
When the Taxpayers, through their
representatives., direct that a certain
sum be expended in constructing and
furnishing building, they intend that
the plans for the building shall be so
drawn that the money appropriated
shall be sufficient to construct and fur.
nish. To make plans and contracts for
building that will clearly cost more
than the appropriation is a breach of
trust. Such an act cannot be con.
strued as anything else than deliber-
ate attempt to force the taxpayers to
expend more money than they origin.
ally intended should be expended for
the purpose. If 1000 be appropriated
for the erection of building and the
whole sum he expended in laying the
foundation for a 100000 building. the
next session OF the Legislature will be
confronted with the argument that this
$4,000 will be wasted unless the $4,000
be appropriated to complete the build
ing. Such practice forces expenditure
of the additional sum of money, re |
gardless OF the merits of the purpose to
which it is applied, and the fact that |
the expenditure was forced creates a
doubt as to its merits. Direct violation !
OF instructions is malfeasance in office, |
and should be SO declared by appropri-
ate laws. .-Oregonian.

state to the Timberman says: "Condi-
tions in the big timber are far from
satisfactory to lumbermen. They are
still having serious trouble with the

of men has increased somewhat, but
much higher wages have to be paid to
induce them to come, and they are
