A WORD ABOUT SALARIES,

@rHE ordinance introduced by Cotli-
Gilman Jones for the purpose Of
putting the city attorneys salary
back at the sum ellowed when tho
present incumbent accepted the of'i'e,
and, by his action In 30 doing, PROM
ised to perform the duties required
by the office for the sum Of $1,000 a
year, has not been heard Of or from
since It's introduction. 1t has prob
ably been laid on the table, or under
1t, or otherwise put safely and com
fortably to sleep. We suggest that
Councilman Jones wake the little Bill
lie, and let us hear him cry, II moth
ing more. 1t is stated the mayor also
regrets his action in consenting to
this increase, and 1t is suggested he
might have his spinal column starched
up, and take a hand in undoing the
things he should not have done. Coun-
cilmen Minton and Jones both say they
are in favor Of putting the amount of
the salary back where II was, but,
somehow, they are not getting action,
The suspicion is growing that the city
attorney has the majority of the coun-
Gil tucked away in his pocket That
the creature has become greater than
its creator, and that when the city at
torney tunes up his fiddle the coun-
.cllmen get ready to dance. This, Of
course, Is merely a suspicion, hut
stilB-well, the city attorney Is draw
ing that extra $500. With more city
engineers and the other city expenses
increasing along all lines, that $500
should be saved, for the city will prob
ably need II in It's business, especial
ly should the dry element succeed in
cutting off revenue from liquqor IL
censes. In the meanwhile ian open,
free confession is good for the SOUL"
and The Journal columns are open to
any Of the council the city attorney
or the mayor, for an explanation Of
why they voted to raise the city attor-
ney's salary, and also why they do not
vote TO put II back to where II be-
longs.

the governor, and which salaries
were fixed by members Of the loglsla-
ture from the respective counties, Is
$S5Y8OO, or $1,000 less than the bill
commended by the 0regonian and
held up by it as a rebuke to West,
Truly, whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad" and our big
contemporary down the creek Is GER
tainly mad as March hare, to thus
print the evidence Of its own insincer-
ity, and give vent to It's spleen.
The Oregonian story also goes on to
state that In the bills passed there
was a good and sufficient reason for
the increases" Was there? For in
stance, the salary Of the county judge
Of Marion county was raised from
$1,000 year to $1,000. II the Oregon
ian, or any one else, can point out a
good reason for this raise, quite a
large number Of Marion county folks
would be pleased to have 1t done.
Judge Bushey is clever gentleman, a
good county Judge, but the people gen.
orally were not clamoring to have his
salary raised, and he would not have
resigned, had the salary been left as
1t was, and we might add that this is
5000 more a year than that "detestable
Gill bill, the infamous salary grab"
would have given him.

SALVATION ARMY
MAY HAVE NEW HOME

Among the building projects which
are booked to be started in Salem dur
ing the coming summer is that of
modern flreproof hall for the Salvation
Army, While Brigadier Dublin was
here few days ago the question came
up for brief discussion between that
official and Captain N. II. Lorenzen,
Of the local company. Brlgadier Du-
bin will be here again next week and
the proposal will be further consld-
cred at that time.
Captain LOrenzen has several desir-
able locations for the hall in view, but
has no option on any Of them. The
present location of the quarters in the
old building at Commercial and Ferry
streets, Is n very desirable location,
but It is doubtful II deal can be ne
gotlated with Max Buren, owner Of
the corner, for the construction Of
quarters at that place The corner Is
much larger than could be used by the
army, and Captain Lorenzen admits
that II would be impracticable for the
owner Of the property TO divide the
corner, There is a possibility that a
large building may be built on the
corner In the next year and o portion
OF II leased to the army people
$4,000 Is Needed.
Captain Lorenzen states that the
sum Of 10000 donated by friends Of
the work will make q new building
possible II the building Is constructed
by the army itself. The method fol-
lowed by the national headquarters of
the army is TO pay one-thIrd of the
cost Of new buildings after two-thlrds
OF the amount has been raised by the
local forces. Captain Lorenzen says
that he has q donation Of $1,000 availa-
bic as soon as he is ready TO begin OPP
oratlons and possibly another dona-
ton equally large in sight.
IL new building Is constructed It
will probably be q two-story structure
with the lower floor devoted to the
ordinary uses Of the army and the
upper portion used as a dormitory and
either operated by the army or rented
to others for similar purposes. It Is
u custom Of the army whore II has
commodIons quarters to maintain
dormItory for the benefit Of laboring
men who make use OF the army ac-
cOmmodations.

MAD AS A MARC HHARE.

THE Oregonian Thursday jumps on
to Governor West, alleging that
the salary bill introduced at his
request in the Legislature, was sal
ary grabbing measure. The big paper
as usual, gets 30 much red in It's eyes
whenever Il mentions the governor
that II can see nothing in Its true col
0rs, How unjust unfair and un-
called for It's attack is, is evident
when the fact Is that Governor West
did not mention the amount Of any Of
the salaries, leaving those amounts to
be filled In for each county by the
members Of the legislature from the
county If thore is any salary grab
IN II, as the Orogonian asserts then
the members of the legislature, not
the governor should be the object OF
the big newspapers attack.
Now again, to show the anlmus Of
the attack, let US take the Oregonlan's
own figures. There were only t.
counties In which salaries were
changed, and these, according 10 the
Oregonlan's figures, show as follows.

How can a proposed salary bill in
which the salaries are less than those
in salary bill passed by the legila-
ture be salary grab while the other
has % good and sufficient reason for
every increase?" Ask the Oregonian,
the only source from which that in
formation can be derived.
It is strange but true, that most Of
flee holders discover so quickly after
being elected to an office after siren
uous eXertions on their part, that the
salary is entirely inadequate, consid-
ering the talents and ability of the in
cumbent the citizens have chosen.
