Some Little stories and
Gossip of the Legislature

easier if the bill introduced in the house
by Representative Dedman, of Candy,
gets by. His measure provides for the
incorporation of rural communities as
municipalities for securing water supply
for domestic use. The bill defines the
kind of a petition that is required in
initiating the incorporation, the limits
of the district, and the humber of sign
ers. Under its provisions 16 per cent
of the registered voters must sign the
petition. On submission of this petition
the county court is required to order
special election, and if the measure
bonds are to be issued at six per cent.
! The bone dry bill prepared by the I'm
ion Dry committee and Oswald West,
ex-governor of Oregon, is in the hands
of the committee on alcoholic traffic, of
which DR.. J. E. Anderson is chairman.
The bill is said to be comprehensive and
to include every phase of the liquor
| traffic
! Legislators are invited to attend the
meeting of the Polk Yamhill- Marion
Medical society, which will hold ses-
sion at the state hospital for the insane,
when discussion of Sterilization of
the Unfit" by DIR. r. E. l.. Steiner,
win be delivered. The meeting is sched-
uled for s O'Clock. DR.. l.. F. Griffith,
also of the state hospital; will talk on
Prevalence, Prevention and Serious
ness of Sdeial Diseases and Possible
Prevention. A successor to DR.. Fl. J.
| Clements, secretary, win probably be
chosen, as the doctor wishes to retire.
The Clackamas county court, through
the Commercial club of 0regon~City, has
sent telegram to the state highway
commission, stating that the county has
appropriated money for the improve
ment of the Pacific highway in Claeka-
mas and that aid of the state is request
ed The county court of Claekamas
county was in Salem yesterday and ask
ed hearing, the date for which was set
for Monday. The fact that the state
highway commission may be abolished
will probably act to defer the request.
According to an opinion by. Attorney
General Brown, no further action by the
Legislature is required TO make effective
the single item veto amendment to the
constitution, which was passed at the
November elestion. This measure pro-
vides that the governor can veto any
single item in an appropriation bill
without killing the whole bill. The at
torney general held, however, that to
prevent any uncertainty it would be a
wise thing for the legislature to declare
the procedure of the veto. With this
axe in his hands the governor can lop
off off any unnecessary appropriations
he may think fit.

REDUCING THE WRONG SALARIES

Some weeks ago when the tax limitation law was be-
ing discussed and talk of retrenchment and reform
in the air. the Capital Journal made the proprecy that
the first place the legislature would discover where
saving could be made would be with the anitors and
those who took of the state house lawns then the
stenographer and clerks and all others whose salaries
were the lowest paid by the state
The Legislature was not six hours old before this
source OF tremendous saving for the state discovered
and proposition made to cut the salaries of this class
True, the taxpayers demanding economy but they
not asking that any be forced work at wages that
will hardly support them Throughout the United States
every big corporation has granted its employees in
of salary account of the high cost of living and
yet the great corporation of the State of Oregon of
the greatest states in the unon deliberately proposing
to reduce salaries of its lowest paid employees at time
when the dollar it pays them is not WORTH in purchasing
power what Is cents worth year two ago. 1t
is the purchasing power Of wage that makes it large
small
There is not an industry in the state that is not get
ting for it's products than it did year ago. The
farmers getting nearly double for their wheat and
vegetables way yonder in price Beef is the highest
ever known and nvountary lifts his hat to the fat
hog that has doubled in value since the war; An
poye getting 600 year now is no better paid than he
or she would have been a year ago on $780,
These state employees if their pay is reduced, will be
in the condition of the college professor who went to the
bank to cash his monthly check The cashier paid him in
one dollar bills The professor looked at them, turned
them with his finger and finally put his glasses
to give them closer inspection
"Whats the matter professor?" asked the cashier Do
you think there are microbes on them?"
"No, indeed" was the mournful reply "No mcrobe
could live on my salary"
Yet this is where economy is supposed to begin.
There is proposition to do away with merge two
or three commissions but it is noted so far that with the
new clerks and assistants said to be required the
ing plans there will be little if any saving only different
lot of employees will draw the salaries -sz
Economy is commendabe but it wants to be real
economy not farcial If the legislature must
salaries let it seek to make the reductions elsewhere
than from the lowest paid employees who at the best
no more than meet the expense Of living.

WINTER

We always tire of winter before it's had it's
fling, and yearningly begin ter extol the
charms of spring. We roast the wintry
rigors in wild, impassioned terms and long
for spring and chiggers, and flies and bugs
and germs. And yet the winter weather is
good for mortal man, and we should get
together, and boost it while we can. The
arctic blasts hummer, but while it roars
and rolls, the pests of spring and summer
are dead or in their holes. Hail, storm that
SWats lis critters. with manv a h1stv hiff I

The suffragettes have picketed the white house,
twelve of them beginning duty Wednesday morning. 1t
stated there will be three thousand of them duty
by inauguration day. They carry banner with the in
scripton: Mr. President, what will you do for woman
suffrage" How they expect to accomplish anything by
the movement is too deep for the mentality of what the
mayor of Umatilla calls "mere man."

President Wilson told certain suffragettes Monday
that he was leader Of party that had not indorsed
suffrage. He might have added that the suffrage or
rather the womens party had not ndorsed him but had
openly tried to defeat him because he refused to go
further than his party in the way of making the suffrage
question national one. The republican and democratic
platforms identical in their treatment of the suf
frage question both stating it matter for each
state to decide for itself The simple truth is that suf
frage has had it's hardest blow from the socaed women
party Instead of coming west to learn how the of
the west had they started campaign with party
of their own which by its action caused feeling that it
would be unsafe to trust the bunch with the ballot Their
action set national suffrage back for years and the pres
ent move is pushing it still further back They call it

In the democracy OF the dead,
all men at last are equal. There

er rests from lnrequited toll. He
at last is natures final decree in
equity. The wrongs of time are
redtessed. injustice is expiated.
the irony of fate IS refuted, the
unequal distribution of wealth,
honor, capacity and pl aSure,
which makes life so cruel and al
most unbearable the weakest
needs no defense. The mightiest
succumbs to the invincible adver-
sary which dissrms alike the vic
tor and the vanquished.

To Our Critics.

In Jasper as elsewhere, there
are both reptiles" and warm
ints". The reptiles" is straight
sonof gun both by preference
and by origin The warmth
is merely poor devi who can't
help hisself The reptile is
by calculation naligant and dis
honest. The ''warmint" is some
thing of an ass The reptile"
would set fire to your house or
barn. The "warmnt" contents
himself with making faces be-
hini your back The reptile"
is an habituai liar and Backyard
but he is hypocritical about it
and pretends to be "a gentleman
and a Christian The warmth
is SNUG rogue. who is happy if
you kick him. and has vein Of
vulgar humcr in him. The Vel
low Kid" for example, is a
warmth" but your reptile"
is often well-manEered and al.
ways we'll dressed. and. usually,
affects a lofty superiority.
Both the reptile" and the
warmth" are. and always have
been, habitual enemies of the
Courier. IL is constitutional with
them. Whatever the Courier
may be, or may not be. it is
straight goocs''. What it pre-.
tends to be it is. For What it
says it has reasons and gives
them with fullneSs and candor.
It's readers are never left in the
dark, or in doubt They do not
have to read between the lines
1t plays politics as certain g-mes

never oeen a time when any

request OF President Wilson,

70 the Officers. Teachers and
Scholars of the Sunday Schools
Of America:
The present insistent call of
our beloved country must be
heard and answered by every
citizen Of the United States in
proportion to his or her ability
to maintain the national power or
honor. Many citizens will rem
der their aid by force or arms on
the battlefield while others will
make the nation strong by their
patriotic gifts and support of
the common cause. 1t is there
fore highly fitting that the Sun.
day-schools of the nation should
observe a special patriotic day
and on this occasion should make
a specia contribution to the Red
Cross for the alienation of the
suffering entailed by the prose
cution of the present war. It. is
my earnest hope that your gen,
crosby may not be unstinted u
this, the hour of a nations need,
and that this special day may
mean much to you in the under
standing of a cause for which
our beloved land now contends

Red Cross Fund, in fact, was the
first to donate here in the recent

The main object of the pro-
gram is to instill the spirit Of
patriotism into the hearts and

an O d fashioned program and
the audience will be asked to
sing such old time songs as The
Battle Cry of Freedom, The Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic. Amer
