Kind of tlie NOT FOR TRICKERY, The People Are Waiting Ilfr? Mie Chief Executive to Governor Lord huu all along exhib ited a disposition to ncccdc to the de mands of the people In the matter of calling an extra session of the legisla ture. He said today that 110 direct request for a special session had reached him. Upon thta It can bo prcdloted that he has not as yet deter mined to call an extra session, and will not, unless formal demands arc made by the people Oregonlnn, Jan. 23. Vriie above paragraph in today's Or- egonlan Ir most Important. It is tho first formal utterance of tho Governor of Oregon to the effect that he Is in favor of an extra session of tho legis lature to pass reform measures, prem ised upon the hypothesis that thcro In a call for such an extra session froih tho people. The challenge is thrown down in tho Oregon Ian editorially that the reason the governor will not call an extra Mfiaion-is that he is unwilling tapart with alleged large unconstitutional emoluments. In legal parlance, this brings the issue squarely before the people. The governor Intimates that ho would call a special session to pass reform bills, If tho people demand It. TheOregonlan says ho will not do so on account of his Interest in unlawful caiolumcnts. The Issue cannot longer be avoided. Tho crisis Is now upon the Republi can party, and It must be faced reso lutely, fearlessly and Intelligently. The Journal Is opposed to a special session with a domand coming ns it did from the old Portland ring politi cians; but TnE Journal to not op posed to a special session called in tho Interests of the people. The Jour nal believes uovernor Loru is an honest man, and wants to give the people relief from extravagant legisla tion and excessive and improper ap propriations milde by tho last legisla ture. That kind of a legislature tho people of Oregon would hall with joy. That kind of a special session could relieve tho people of several hundred thousand dollars taxation for this year, and a quarter of a million dollars in etato and county taxes next year. That kind of a special session tho people of Oregon demand. All they need is an opportunity to express themselves in favor of it. A special ses ion demanded by the Portland ring pol iticians, called for political purposes and to carry out political schemes, the people do not want. Tho people want atnecial session called purely for business purposes, to lop off useless commissions, to abolish unnecessary offices, to cut down extravagant sal aries and to wipe out appropriations for institution that should not prop erly bo supported by tho state. Such a special session the people want, and want badly. As tho executive of this state, Governor Lord sees and knows the whole situa tion in which the people of Oregon find themselves. That situation was Jwcll described in the governor's mes sage to the legislature. Tho struggle over the senatorshlp made it Imjofr Bible to carry out the suggestions 1 j L .1 .... mi,. iu then made by the governor. There is now so such obstacle in the way. 19. RD y a special session ' -' j People W'arilt BUT FOR isiNESS v. , M Governor Lord can how call a .special session, place the whole situation be fore the people nndj tho legislature, lay before them suggestions for re trenchment arid e'ednomy of such a specific character that no member of the legislature could misunderstand tho purposo for wslch ho would be called to Saleti'u .Taio people aro con fused by tho choi&cs and counter charges of ,ihe nljrcnt factions of which the.-lastiSSoiubly was com posed. ,Th&& factions would not ex 1st in thercxtrtv Session If tho call to duty was mnddo plain that no man "thoughlicbo a fool or a way far lug man could err therein." WHAT TO CUT OFF. Tho governor should specify about what he thinks should be done. A great deal has been suggested in tho nress of tho state, and thcro Is abundance of material fur a business reform session toojyork upon. Follow ing uro propositions, that the pcoplo all understand: Abolish the railroad commission. Abolish the state fair appropriation. Abolish tho district fair appropria tions. Abolish tho state board of equaliza tion. Abolish the olllcc of attorney gen eral. Put all state officials on a salary. Put all fees collected into tho state treasury. Fix the salaries of all clcctlvo otllcers in state and county to take effect Immediately on expiration of tho terms for which thoy aro elected. Cut oil nil appropriations afStato UnivciDltyand normal (schools. Pass a precinct assessor law and county attorney law. Make care of Insane chargeable upon counties. A OALL TO DUTY. Such a call for a special scsslon,that wouiu leave no room ror politicians to wrangle or juggloor evade the issue would bo n call to duty for every true Republican In this state. Tho gover nor in making such a call. and making the issue so clear and sharp that no member of the legislature could for any partisan purposo evade tho ro sponslblllty, would meet with a re sponse In the hearts of tho taxpayers that would niiiko him their idol and he would becomo tho real leader of the people. Governor Lord cut looso from tho old ring politicians on tho senatorial question last winter, llo has paid all ids political debts If ho over owed them any. Ho Is In a position to take tho side of tho pcoplo fearlessly on this Issue of economic reform. If ho will send out a ringing call to duty, por traying the distress of tho people in us trtio colors, nnu assigning tuo proper responsibility to extravagance in stato ami county govori neonlo will rally to his sum tho people will rally to his support with a unanimity and a determination that will not Ikj misunderstood. It Is useless for tho people of Ore gon to bo compelled to wul t until all the rascals die or until tho people elect a better legislature. Tho good men in the, last legislature aro good men still and Bomo of tho wrong doers show signs of repentance. Governor, place tho situation before tho pcoplo without fear or fuvor. Call a business session of tho 'legisla ture. Tho tlmo is rlpo for action. The people will endorse such a decis ion on your part to give them all the relief in your power, and you will have dona your official duty. In 48 hours tho people of Oregon will bo at your back, and bosslsm and boodle politics will have received a death blow. The people want a loader against tho selfish organization within tho party to rulo or ruin. Tliero was never such opportunity for a public man In-thls state to distin guish himself as tho friend of the people. Tho people know you have the courage of your convictions and they would hall with Joy your actions In the contingency ns their friend nnd saviour in these times of distress. J enable tho true their pledges, ana moso wno reiuseu todoihelrduty when the opportunity , 8 offere(j them would be cast Into outer darkness where they belong.
