NEED HIGHER SALARIES.

The enormous expenditures of gov
ernment officials are shown in the
following dispatch from Washington
to the oregon Daily Journal:
The proposed law for an increase in
salaries of cabinet officers and the
speaker of the house recently led to
an exchange of condolences among the
members of Roosevelt's official fami-
ly on the cost of living in Washing
ton
Secretarys Hitchcock and Root are
the largest spenders. The former
spends between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year. Both are very wealthy men.
The $4,000 salary does not pay house
rent for these men.
Secretary Taft has a large family
and it costs him $4,000 a year to live
/ in what he regards as a plain way.
Secretary Shaw owns to spending $1S,-
600 a year since he became secretary
of the treasury. He, too, has a num-
ber of growing girls, and he says mil
linery bills are revelation to him.
Secretary Moody has spent about
$4,000 more than his salary each year,
although he is a bachelor. Secretary
Bonapare is rich and spends 100000
year.
Secretaries Wilson and Cortelyou
live on their own salaries, the latter
for the good reason that it is all he
has to live on. Secretary Wilson has
only himself and one daughter, and
he lives very quietly.

NEGLECTING COMMERCE.

Manufacturers associations have
for many years been passing resolu-
tions about the lack of authentic in
formation Of trade opportunities in
foreign countries, which information
could be furnished by the American
consuls.
The manufacturer cries for new
markets and wants the consuls to To-
cate them. Yet the department of
commerce and labor has been pub
fishing for several years a most val
liable serie. of consular and trade
reports giving Just the information
wanted.
That the manufacturers are not
paying proper attention to these re-
ports. which often contain excellent
advice, is shown by the increasing
number Of consuls' reports about
faulty packing and slowness in filling
orders.

THE OREGON PROGRAM.

The Oregon program is attracting
the attention of legislatures in all the
northwest states this winter.
Idaho and Washington are consid-
ering direct primary laws, local OPP
ton laws and river improvements
These subjects have lain dormant in
our neighboring states until Oregon
has demonstrated their worth and
carried them through the experiment.
al stage.
The popular election of United
States senators has been practically
adopted in Idaho. W. f. Borah was
the choice of the state convention last
spring and has been selected by the
legislature out of respect for the ex-
preston from the convention.
In Washington the local option law
and the direct primary law will
doubtless be passed this winter and
other oregon measures will be seri-
ously discussed.
Oregon is willing for her daugh-
ters to initiate her. She has set
glorious pace in popular government.
She has demonstrated its worth and
has borne the brunt of the expert

SPOKANE VIEW OF BRYAN.

The following estimate Of the ad-
dress of William Jennings Bryan at
Spokane is from the Spokesman-Re Re-
view, which is not politically for
Pryan, but which gives him the high
est praise as a statesman and a citi-
zen. The Review says.
Persons who heard Mr.. Bryan's
speech Tuesday night and had heard
him frequently before, said that his
speech at the banquet was the finest
they had ever heard delivered. All
the elements of great oratory were
blended in that address-deep knowl-
edge of the subjects discussed, flashes
of Wit and humor, lofty ideals, good
natured ridicule of the other party,
OF eloquence-nothing hysterical,
nothing florid, but beautiful senti-
ments expressed in choice, English.
But perhaps the true greatness of
the man was better revealed by his
broad and generous utterances ap-
proving many of the acts and utter
ances of President Roosevelt.
Here was a man who was twice de-
feated for the presidency; whose
leadership was rejected at the last
national convention of his party who
has been abused and vilified as prob
ably ne other American since Lin
coin, and yet he spoke without bit
terness, spoke indeed with a fine ex-
hibition of good humor and kindly
feeling and gave a speech which was
characterized rather more by praise
of the leader of the republican party
than by criticism of that party.
No wonder Mr.. Bryan retains his
grip on the affections of the demo-
cratic masses and the respect of the
great body of American citizenship.
His superb courage, his undoubted
sincerity and his broad and kindly
synpathics endear him to millions of
all parties.
II is the great good fortune of the
nation that the leadership Of the
democratic and republican parties is
held by William Jennings Rryan and
Theodore Roosevelt.

INCREASE RACE STAKES.

1t has been suggested by some
Thoughtful people that instead of Of
fering an additional $4,000 stake at
the Oregon state fair this fall, 1t would
be better to increase the two $4,000
stakes to $4,000 each, giving $4,000 for
the main stake and $1,000 for con-
ISOLATION, says the Rural Spirit.
This plan 1t is argued would be more
satisfactory and would be recognizing
the trotter equally with the PAGERS. A
$4,000 stake for 2:09 PAGERS on the
handicap entrance plan and the same
amount for 2:15 trotters would create
a great stir here in racing circles and
no doubt the colors OF a number of
new stables would be seen on this cir
cult the coming season.
Events of this kind would certainly
bring together a great class OF horses
on this circuit that would draw large
crowds at all the leading fairs. II
such stakes are offered at Salem we
would advise that a liberal stake be
offered for 2:10 trotters also.
