A GREAT SENATOR.

M the general hilarity due to the In
auguration Of our president aud
tho turning over the rclns Of sov-
ernmcnt TO the Democracy (hore
were some other things overlooked
One Of these is the retiring Of Orogons S
senior senator, Jonathan Bourne, from
the senate. This Is an event Of grave
importance to the state for no matter
how much ability his successor may
bring to the work, II is undoubtedly
true that he has tackled q big job In
stepping into Senator BOurnes shoes,
While the latter has not figured eN-
tcnsiycly IN the big debates he has
proved one Of the most rOr-secng,
hardost-worling, brood-mIndod mem-
bcrs Of any senate Of recent years
It Is TO him we owe the parcel post,
which, though in operation but short
time, has already demonstrated It's
practical utility and has taken such u
hold on the people that they would not
not do without IT, II must he rcmem-

cy, and that time and experience will
show any defects it may possess, and
these will be corrected until it is,
what It's creator, Jonathan Bourne, in
tended it to be, a practical, everyday
adjunct to our old postal service, that
benefits and accommodates all of us.
It seems but a small matter now that
it is in operation, that anyone might
have thought of it, and yet 1t took
days of patient inquiry and research,
weeks of persistent toll, to study out
the details and put the idea on prac-
tlcal working basis. This is but one
Of the big things Senator Bourne has
done, and, were 1t the only thing, he
would still be entitled to the gratitude
of not only all Oregon people, but of
every citizen of the country. The pass
ing of Senator Bourne Is indeed a Sc
rious loss to the state, and to the
country at large, as well.

To HAVE
ROAD ELECTRIFIED
SiIyertOn and Salem People United In
Asking for Electric Line and
More Trains Daily.

Praying the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern Railroad Co. to electrify its
line from Silyerton to Salem via Geer
petitions are being circulated among
the citizens of the two towns affected,
and also among the farmers who re-
side along the line, The petitions now
being circulated Ia Salem have al
ready been signed by a substantial
number Of citizens,
The petitioners argue that there III
room for u so per cent increase in
the population benefited by the road;
that this increase is not great way
off, and that its coming will be en-
hanced by the electrirication Of the
road and the increasing number of
trains.
Following is the petition which is
being circulated, and which will bo
forwarded to President strahorn;
I'VE, the undersigned, residents Of
sllverton, Salem and vicinity, belev.
ing that our interests are mutual,
would respectfully petition that the
portion Of your road extending from
Silverton to Salem, via Geer, be cleo
trirled
1--WE believe that the business over
this line would be greatly increased,
both MS to passengers and to freight,
and that the operation Of n sufficient
number Of trains to serve this terri
tory could be more economically han
died by electric than by steam power.
1--WE believe that the change mem
toned would induce large number
Of settlers to purchase land build
homes along the line, thus cutting up
the large individual acreage and max
Ing room for many small holders.

building an electric road from Candy

START A MOVEMENT
FOR CITY ELECTION
PrOhis VIII Circulate Petition Calling
for Election on Wet or Dry
City Next June.

Initiative petitions have been drawn
and will be circulated at once calling
for an election to be held in Salem on
June on the question as to whether
Intoxicating liquors shall continue to
be sold in the Capital City, The cam
paign was launched by the Prohibi-
tlonists at a meeting Of the Municipal
Improvement League at the Baptist
church last night.
A mass meeting and rally in the au-
ditorium Of the church was followed
by meeting Of the members Of the
Municipal League, at which plans for
the campaign were adopted. The
league is to hold meeting for the
annual election Of officers in q few
days. Before that time efforts looking
toward the prohibition election will be
preliminary. AS soon as the election
is over the campaign will be waged
by the anti-saloon people with much
spirit. 1t is planned to call to Salem
every prohibition campaigner Of note
that is available or in reach Of the To-
cal organization. A decision to hold
the election was arrived at several
months ago, but made public last
night for the first time,
The antl-saloon people hope to car
y the election largely with the aid
Of the votes of the women Of the city.
The election would have been called
some months ago had the question Of
woman suffrage not come up. When
indications began to point toward the
success Of the suffrage movement, It
was decided to defer the election un-
I'll later.

THIS LAW MAY ALSO
BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Because it is feared that the present
law of the state whereby foreign cor
porations are required to pay an an
nual license fee in proportion to their
capital stock may be declared uncon-
stitutional, the corporation department
Of the state hurriedly drafted sub
stitute law and procured its passage
Through the legislature at the ad-
journed session on Tuesday,
There are two reasons for which the
present law might be declared uncon-
stitutional as pointed out by Corpora
tion Clerk Babcock. One reason Is
that It is believed to be contrary to the
interstate commerce law, and the 9TH
er is that it is taking property without
due process OF law. A similar law in
California has been declared unconsti-
tutional by the United States supreme
court and If the Oregon court follows
the United States court there Is no
doubt that the law will be declared
contrary to the federal constitution.
The new law provides an annual IL
cense fee OF 800 on all foreign corpo-
ratlons doing business in this state.
1t Is admitted that this fee is q trifle
unjust to some of the smaller corpora
tions while It lets some of the larger
ones off very easy. But the law Is
temporary and a scientific schedule Of
license fees will be drafted in the next
two years and placed before the 1915
Legislature.
There are 600 foreign corporations
doing business in Oregon and paying
license fees of from $40 to $500, max
ing a total of $4,000 a year Under
the new law the total will be 100000,
The new law reads as follows:
Section /. Every foreign corpora
ton, joint stock company or associa-
tlon, now doing business in this state,
or that may hereafter do business in
this state, except fire, marine, fire and
marine, life, accident, life and accident,
plate glass and steam boiler insurance
companies, and casualty and surety
companies, shall, between July 1 and
August 10 of each year, pay In ad-
vance to tho corporation department
Of this state an annual license fee of

ARE ARRANGING
FOR STATE FAIR
Board Met Yesterday to Consider
Plans for Improvements and
Arrange for Meeting.

In spite of an effort that was made
to have the state fair given up in
1915 in favor Of the San Francisco ex-
position, it was decided at a meeting
Of the Board of Agriculture yesterday
to have the fair that year as usual.
The first meeting of the year of the
State Board of Agriculture, which 80
days hence will be known as the State
Fair Board, was held, the fair grounds
were visited, the new pavilion dis
cussed and general plans laid for the
big September industrial carnival
Among other improvements that
will be made at the fair grounds will
be the tiling of the grounds for better
drainage purposes. Another meeting
Of the board will be held in June, and
further arrangements made for the
September fair.
The board has decided to hold, in
addition to the regular racing pro-
gram, wild horse race and saddle
pony race. The shooting tournament
and the eugenics exhibit, both new
features last September, will be con-
tinued. Both were found to be paying
attractions. The list of premiums
will not be completed for several
weeks. The harness races scheduled
for the year, with the purses offered,
are as follows
Monday-Two year old trot, futuri-
ty course, 5000; 2:14 pace, every heat

THE PAROLE OF ROSS.

uTHB application for a parole by j..
Thorburn Ross has stirred the
bowels of compassion Of the
press Of Portland, which is unanimous
in endorsing his application and incl
dentally, asking that he be set free.
Whether guilty or innocent Is not for
us to say that matter having been
threshed out in the courts. 1t seems
through, the consensus Of the legal
opinion is that while, technically gull
ty, the law he is accused Of violating
was so ambigiously worded or, so they
contend, that it Is now stated, his act
showed no moral turpitude, that the
state did not lose cent by his trans
actions, and that he was really not
guilty of the offense for which he was
convicted. Tf these are the facts, a
parole or pardon, or whatever other
step Is necessary to give him his free
dom should be granted. That phase Of
the situation needs no argument or
criticism.
It strikes us, however, in this con-
nection, that these applications for
parole for pardon, for avoiding the
payment Of the penalty Of offenses
that are backed up by the big news
papers, are always those committed
by some person with plenty Of money
of q high place, whose influential
friends work on sentiment for them,
and Influence the newspapers in their
behalf You never see whole columns
Of editorial, and stories played up on
the front page, for some poor devil
fighting against what he considers
an unjust sentence, and which Is per-
haps as unjust as that of Thorburn
Ross Is claimed to be, and that is
where the newspapers, all Of them, are
un-American and unjust II j. Thor
burn Ross is innocent, If the law 1t Is
claimed he violated was 80 ambiguous
that his construction Of II was u
plausible one, then he should be set
free at once, as should any other
man, rich or poor, with hosts OF in
fluential friends or frlendless, 1t is
because the press is prone TO take up
the cases OF such men In the higher
ranks under such conditions as the
above and to ignore those Of the prac-
tically friendless, that such moves as
cthht to free Ross are looked upon with
suspicion by the masses, Gentlemen
,of the press just make n note Of this
on your tablets, and give the same
treatment to some poor poverty-stricS
en- and rriondless man. down and out,
in his struggle for justice, It is prob
able we would all feel better by doing
80, and We certainly would be looked
upon with moro respect, by the great

Weston and the
Walking Habit

Edward Payson Weston plans
one more notable pedestrian &C.
Movement in his tramp starting
from New York June 2, for a 1900
mile walk to Minneapolis. He
hopesto reach his destination Aug.
g.
Mr. Weston's feats upon the road
are probably regarded by the gen.
erality of men as interesting, but
exceedingly eccentric. Like the
six year old boy who plays the
piano skillfully, they might be
worth attention, but of no univer-
sal application.
The popular method when per-
sons of sedentary occupation feel
their physical vitality low, is to
gulp down man copious gallons of
mineral water or erect pulley
weights in their sleeping rooms
They yank at these weights desuI-
torily morning and night The
count their motions carefully 80
as to be sure not to do too many.
But it is not easy to manufacture
health to order III this way
The man who enjoys walking is
regarded as singular. When his
friends see him piking along, they
pick him up, feeling that they do
him favor in helping him reach
his destination.
Mayor Gaynor of New York has
had the habit for many years Of
walking daily to his Office and
back, three miles each way, and
may have it still. He says the
young men and women who crowd
the street cars, many Of the fell
lows putting at cigarettes look at
him Judging along as a curiosity.
Probably though had Mr. Gaynor
not kept up this exercise he would
today be underground, as the re-
suit Of the assassin's bullet.
Even country people do not walk
as they used to. Formerly the
youngsters thought nothing of a
three mile trudge each way be-
tween home and school. Now if
they have to tramp more than a
mile, they must have transporta-
ton wagon.
Mr.. Weston is now "a years old.
His abundant physical vitality
shows the possibilities IF q ripe and
vigorous old age for every man
and woman.
