filled up with offices and court rooms.
He wanted action taken Immediately to
get a new Jail, he said.
Coming from the chairman of the
finance committee the remarks carried
weight and conference was Immediately
held in the mayors office, with the re-
sult that special message was prepared
by the citys executive. 1t was as fol-
lows:
The time has arrived when believe
action should be taken looking toward
the purchase of acreage and the
building of workhouse to be used
Jointly by the city and county O. Los
Angeles. and 1 respectfully recon-
orable body appoint committee of
the council to confer with a COM
mittee of the board of supervisors
with this end in view.
The expenses of land purchased and
the erection of a workhouse should,
in my opinion, be divided between the
city and county.
Our city jail is too small to accom-
modate properly the present number
of tenants.
During the recent exceedingly hot
spell there was much suffering in the
Jail, and the need of a workhouse
became more apparent than ever.
The chain gang work is the only
employment offered to prisoners at
present. A workhouse would provide
employment for all kinds of prisoners,
and could be made to lessen the bur-
den of expense the city is now put to
Jail.
The county of Los Angeles is in a
position similar to that of the city,
and l am sure the council commit
tee will receive hearty cooperation
from the supervisors.

THE MINORITY REPORT.

Sometimes we think we would much like
to know how the signatures to the minority
section of the so-called Potter committee
were obtained 10 that report.
The names which 1t bears are those OF
Barrett Potter, l.. Z. Morse and B. E. Cou-
sins. MIR. Potter is of Brunswick, Mr. Morse
of Liberty and MIR. Cousins of Lmington.
We understand that Mr.. Morse was not at
OronO when the committee visited the State
University and that r.COusins was not at
the hearing of the committee in Portland;
May %, 1906, nor has he been present at
any of the meetings.
The Commercial has been informed on
what it considers the highest authority that
Mr.. Cousins name was obtained to the re-
port by unfair means and that he would be
very glad If it was not attached to the re-
port. Indeed, we understand that Mr. Cou-
sins would not have signed the minority re-
port had he not been told by a member of
the committee that by signing it he was do
ing the one thing which would help the uni
versity. and in this ways If he did not ad-
vocate abolishing the 3. A. degree the col
leges would come in to get an appropriation
and thus hinder the university, and as he
himself thought so much Of the university,
good appropriation must be obtained
Therefore the only way to get it would be
to not rouse the other colleges.
Let US have the facts of this oase.-Ban-
gOr Commercial.
So say we. 1t is altogether probable that
the signature of Mr.. Morse was obtained in
similar way, for we doubt if he would
wish to injure an institution which has
done and is doing so much for the youne
men and wo men of Waldo county. This
minority report is plainly the work of one
man. and he alone should be held RESPONSE
BILE for it and it should carry no weight be
yond that given to it by his name.
