LEGISLATIVE FOLLY
llMedford Mail Tribnne. }

((Medtord Nail Iribune.)
Among the measures upon which The
people of Oregon will be called 70 vot,
in June is thc Bean bill, which asks the
people TO vote upon restoring the q. 4
c. grant land TO taxation.
The measure was put upon the ballot
by the legislature, evidently to sustain
the railroad 5 contention that the prop
erty still belonged TO the railroads anc
the official recognition Of this fact by
the state of Oregon would aid the rail
road in its efforts before the supreme
court.
The United States supreme court has
ended all controversy by deciding that
the railroad has forfeited all right and
title to the property, save an equity
of $3.50 per acre, as provided in the
Chamberlain hill. The contention upon
which the Bean bill was based, railroad
ownership, does not exist.
1t does not make any difference
what the people vote upon this Bean
bill - il can have no effect upon the
title to the land, which is reinvested in
the federal government-and the people
of Oregon cannot override the United
States constitution and the enabling
act by which the state was admitted
by decreeing the taxation of federal
property especially exempted.
The only possible result, is that if the
Bean bill is approved by the people, it
will hold up the payment of delinquent
taxes by the government to the counties
until legal procedure has been invoked
and the courts declare the Bean bill un.
constitutional. The Bean bill should
therefore be defeated.
The authors and hackers of this bill
evidently were not acting in good faith
with the people or if they were, became
catspaws for pulling the railroads
chestnuts out of the fire. At any rate
they simply burned their own fingers
