MARION COUNTY SHOULD BUILD THE BRIDGE

If the Willamette river is brdged at Salem in the i'm
mediate future it is evident that Marion county will have
to do it. Unquestonaby the officials of Polk county do
not want bridge at this city, subordinang the welfare
and convenience of the entire central willamette valley
to an effort force certain trade into the Polk county
towns that otherwise might the river That ma
jorty Of the people of that county want the bridge
built there is no doubt but the small clique of obstuc
toniss in control of the county affairs is IN the saddle
and purposes delay construction through excuse
another just as long as it can be done.
This being the case, what should Marion county do?
The wisest plan, it would to u.s. would be to go
ahead and build steel bridge according to the state
highway engineers plans, without any assistance from
Polk county The entire cost of bridge of this type
would be less than Marion counys share of the cost OF
concrete bridge even if Polk county should assist in
building it. According to the report of the highway
engineers it would be servceabe structure after
it built and these engineers the only persons who
have thoroughly investigated the matter.
If Marion county has right to divert its tax money
to the payment of bridge which would be partly within
Polk county this objection could doubt be remeded by
legislation There is still time to get bill through at
this session. if it is needed that would egaze the con-
struction of the entire bridge by this county
The quickest cheapest and easiest way to solve the
bridge problem is for Marion county to proceed to build
it, and allow the obstructonis officials of Polk county to
be taken care of by the voters of that county when they
get another crack at them.

JUST ASKING QUESTIONS

The Oregonan calls attention to an amendment to
the referendum law under which it may be possible the
bone dry law may be referred to OF its sections
This amendment reads: "Ihe referendum may be de-
manded by the people against one or more items, sec
tons parts of any act of the legislative assembly In
the same in which such power may be exercised
against complete act. The filing of referendum petit
ton against items sections or parts OF an
act shall delay the remainder of that act from becom
inc operative Attention is also called to recent deciS
ion of the supreme court of this state in which the follow
inc language is used "He who made the law knows best
how it ought to be interpreted not less te now than
when Rousseau wrote" This is doubt true, but 1t
does necessarily that every law if there was
question as its Interpretation, should be interpreted
by the author of the bill making the law Suppose such
author should have inadvertently used the word not
at some place in his bill and the had not been dis
covered would the courts allow him to strike the word
out because of his mistake?
Again If any item of act can be referred to the peo
pie would it be possible for two referendum petitions
to refer the whole act? Suppose petition should ask
the referring of certain sections and another should ask
the referring Of the other sections? Could both petitions
be acted upon? If not which could? Who would
decide whether set of petitioners might refer sections
they did not like, and at the time deny the right OF
another set of petitioners to have the other sections
ferred? Is the emergency clause part Of an act? If so
could not be referred just the any other part?
We not asserting that any of these questions are
meritorious but just asking questions.

MEXICANS FIRE ON SHIP.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 27.-The
American fishing schooner Maryland
and Mexican patrol boat at San
Ramon Point exchanged shots yester-
day, according to word received here
today. 1t is claimed that while the
Maryland was going south through the
Mexican fishing waters the patrol boat
steamed alongside and members of her
crew opened fire with rifles.
John B. Elliott, collector of Gus
toms, refused to comment, save to say
that he had issued orders to search all
vessels suspected of carrying arms and
munitions and to seize arms that are
found. He states he has information
that several fishing vessels planned to
leave here and San Diego, carrying
arms and ammunition.
When the Maryland was suspected
of smuggling arms into Mexico or
whether the reported firing was the
result of controversy over fishing
concessions in Mexican waters will not
be settled until the Maryland returns
with a complete report.

Senator Orton s attention to the fact
that il was not publican or a republi.
can who went into the highways as
stated but a pharisee. 1t was noticed
though that his stenographer nudged
him before he made the correction and
whispered something to him which
makes some of the doubtful ones be.
Geve that he got his information as to
Pharisces but short time before he
gave it publicity.
Then there was another senator who
took a long chance at a biblical quota
tion and commenting on remarks that
had peen made concerning a bill Sena
tor Farrell was interested in said that
another senator "'spoke whereof he
knew not which. -
Homer Foster, who is employed by
Secretary of State Olcott to look otter
the welfare of his office when he is
out, is the "god of things that be" for
the newspaper men who are trying to
report faithfully to the world the do
ings of the twenty-ninth legislative as
sembly of the state of Oregon.
In truth, if it had not been for Ho-
mer, the newspaper men would not have
the wbercwithal to tell the people what
is going on. 1t was he who supplied the
paper, pen, ink, pencils, erasers, carbon
sheets, etc, and the many other small
things the news writers need to keep
their tempers calm and suRve so they
can fully appreciate what is going on
around them.
Homer is well known in Salem as he
has lived here number of years and
has been employed in the secretary of
state s office for ever so many years.
And his particular job during the legis-
lative sessions is TO look after the needs
and also the wants, of the news paper
men. And he does it-he does. For
which the newspaper boys are truly
thankful.
Homer has been doing this stunt for
the past two or three sessions, and he
is getting so expert he knows Just
what a newspaper man needs by the
way he tits his cigar, if he is smoking;
how he scratches his ear, or how he rubs
his nose That requires science. New
ertheless, Homer Foster is a prince of
good fellows, and every one of the boys
like his genial smile and courteous way
of doing the best he can for every one
in all the ways he can.

House bill 172 makes a mistake in
consolidating the stallion registration
board with others in the creation of
the agricultural department. II should
unite that important board with the
board of higher curricula and the pure
seed commission What S the use of sep
arating boards that so naturally should
be together! If the legislature is GO
ing to consolidate, after it gets its com
mittees on consolidation consolidated it
should look after the natural contiguity
of boards and things. One senator re-
marked the other day that "we are here
to consolidate something and we might
as well try our hand on this tax com
mission and merge it with the public
service commission, and if that does not
give satisfaction we can consolidate
something else, for we have lust got
to consolidate something - That is not
the exact language, but it is the sub
stance of it. Senator Huston frankly
stated he considered most Of the CON
solidatiOn talk as pure Chunk And
If the other senators were equally frank
they would second the senator s motion
You would not suspect it of Senator
Gill but he is some humorist.
He is sedatc, dignified, and would
be taken for college professor or the
president of some society for the uplift
of the human race, or a distinguished
lecturer on the psychological effects of
the Egyptian mysteries as disclosed
from the cuneiform writings taken in
connection with the emblems of sun
worship as evidenced by the monuments
left by the AZtecs and their probable
descendants the cliff dwellers of .Ari-
zOna and the Colorado basin, or words
to that effect. You would be sadly
mistaken. Yesterday wnen the PROPOSE
ton to have the sheriff of Multnomah
county turn some of the emOluments
of his office over to the county, by
boarding the prisoners at actual cost
to the county, Senator Gill made, for
him, quite a lengthy speech. He said
the bill provided that prisoners should
be served but two meals a day so long
as they did not work. He did not want
them to grow fat like the bible charac-
ter .Jeshurun and kick. He ais opoint-
ed out that if the prisoners were well
they should have but two meals, but if
sick they might have more. 1t win also
be noted that the senator has some
knowledge of the bible, which is rather
surprising in an Oregon legislator. Or
ton the other day made a stab at quot
ing scripture but the nearest he could
come to it was having publican -
remark that he thanked God he was
not like other men. Senator Garland
came to his rescue and showed he had
