The only way to curb the depredations of the legislature is to elect presiding officers who will act for the people, instead of for the combines. A speaker of the house of representatives who would take the side of the taxpayer could save the taxpayers a million dollars. It is to be hoped that C. N. McArthur, of Portland, may run for the legislature and be nominated and elected and be made speaker. He has been a speaker of the house of representatives and knows the pressure that Is brought to bear on that office. Having had one term of experience, and knowing what mis takes to avoid, he could now serve the people fairly and well. The speaker of the house and a president of the senate should once bo chosen who do not regard their offices as mere opportu nities for u general hand-out. The legislature starts out doing things with a general loot in the form of the clerkship graft, paying five to ten dollars a day for work that can be hired done by business people for fifty dol lars a month. With that for a starter, every member is scheming to get his arms into the pork barrel until the brine trickles off his eye brows. ' Generally the state printing office is put in the saddle, in con trol of the appropriations committee, and the big institutions grab the rest of the committees. Then, it is stand and deliver to the taxpayer, and that kind of a grasping octopus is called politics, and is called the sovereign power of the general assembly. The people who find their taxes doubled ought to know what is at the bottom of the whole stupendous aggregation of mental fertilizer labeled popular government. o Tho city council should appoint committee of three of its mem bers to investigate and report the facts as to the condition of certain streets of this city that the property owners have been called upon to pay good prices for. The mayor's edict, "Let them kick, and bo d d," is all right as an exclamation of political bra vado, but what would be wrong in relieving the street committee of passing on their own work by having three members of the council investigate the street wi k of the past year, get t the ac tual facts and conditions as they find them and report the facts? There is no other way to get at this matter, unless the people go before the grand jury or take the recall on some who may not be to blame. If the cement manufacturers, or the con tractor, or the inspector who passed on the work, are to blame, let tho people know it, and avoid Ruch mistakes in the future. "Let the people kick and be d d" will not settle anything. That right is guaranteed in the constitution, but does not replace bad street work. A NEW CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. Mr. C, L McNary's declining to become a candidate for con gress leaves the field open to ex-Mayor Geo. F. Rodgers, of this city, If he desires to make the nee. Another man talked of by many friends is Mr. Williams, of Forest Grove, who is an insurance man well-known over the dis trict. Ex-Senator Geo. C. Browne.., of Oregon City, has also been considered as an available man for the place. It is to be hoped that one of these men will be centered upon to rrake the race at the primaries. If they could be persuaded to do bo the three could come be fore the people together at a preliminary try-out. Ut three meetings be held at Salem, Oregon city and Forest Grove. Let the people see the men, hear then speak and know what principles and convictions they carry about concealed on their persona. That would be fair to the people and fair to the candidates. The theory of politics that candidates are not to be allowed to speak at public gatherings is childish. Tho Lincoln banquet at Salem would be a far greater success If It was understood that candidates were allowed to speak. Some other occasion must bo found at which candidates can bo allowed to Rpeak. If Mr. liawley were at Salem when the Lincoln banquet Is to bo held he would have been requested to make the big speech. We do not say this unkindly, but In justice and fairness to candidates and the people. I5ut by all means let the people have a chance to hear from pos sible candidates for congress. NEW NOSTRUM FOR REFORM. Tho scheme to reform administration of affairs in Oregon evolved by Mr. Harris is an old one. ' Unite labor officials. Grange officials and heads of colleges to reduce taxes a very simple device. That is like ton men on Money Island .pulling themselves up by their own boot straps to get to heaven. Reforms do not come from such theoretical sources, and people proud of their whiskers do not trim them themselves. Oregon is suffering from an overdose of high taxation at the hands of the very people who are to reform things. The work Mr. Harris has cut out is how to get the votes of the governed, ami at the same time not interfere with the privileges of their masters. How to git tho votes of those who labor for a living, and not labor with your own hands yourself. How to vote the men who dig a living out of the soil, and not have to worn on the soil yourself. That hits neen the game of the professional politician in all ages of the world. Plenty of promises, plenty of chin-music, plenty of new polit ical nostrums will do it.

THE RED ROSE AT THE GRAND "The Red Rose," the beautiful mu sical comedy, la scheduled here at the Grand opera house tomorrow night and will no doubt be witnessed by a capacity house, and will prove to be the distinct novelty of the season', at traction. The production is under the Personal direction of John C. Fish er, the noted producer of "Floro dora," "Silver Slipper" and Sun Toy," and come here direct from the Globe theatre. The piece is the work of Harry B. and Robert H. 8mlth and Robert Hood Dowers, and Is said to portray the gay Btudent life of Paris In a clean and wholesome manner. The story Is a simple love tale of a young American artist, "Uiclc Lorlmer," and his model, "Lola." Complications be tween the artist' and his millionaire father arise, but are finally adjusted, when It Is learned that Lola the mod el, is of royal blood, and would bo an acceptable member of the family. The plot Involves many new and distinct characters and requires an un usually large presenting company. The action of the play is In three acts, onn of which Is the famous stu dents' "Hall of the Four Arts;" an other sho-vi an art school of the mas ter M. Julian Duprez, which affords an excellent opportunity for sumPtous scenic effects and gorgeous costumes. The cast Includes such notable play ers as Zoe Harnett, Sidney Ilroughton, Grace Kllsworth. Maurice Uarcy, Joseph W. Standlsh, Oliver Depp, Honottl Frnscona and Marguerite De Von. The chorus and ballet are unus ually large, and are said to Include some stunning young women. The musical score contains 24 numbers, with a variety of popular song hits and others of greater musical worth. One of the special features of the jierform ance Is the "Students' Glide," which made nothing less than a sensational hit in New York City. . o , X-RAYS AND SMILES. Ex-governor Hock, of Kansas, who was at Eugene Saturday, says Taft and Bryan will be the candidates named by the Republicans and Dem ocrats for the next presidency. The street car service Is much Im proved In the pant two or three months, but still tt gets off once In a while. Cars on time all the time, in a necessity where there Is no more frequent Bervlce than on the Salem line The Columbia Orchard comapny Isaued $5,000,000 worth of bonds. The Oregon-Washington Trust Co., ol' Portland, was trustee for the bond holdera. The two companies' assets were the names, signs over" the of fice doors, and the literature adver tising their scheme. Tho recall of Judges, tt is claimed, will tie the hands of Justice and hob ble her feet. As the old jade U al ready blindfolded, a hobble or two will not make ber stumble any more. All Judges are first lawyers, and all lawyers are not so pure that wings are Indigenous to them. Hence It follows that, all Judges are not, simply because they are Judges, abHolutly angollc, or above human criticism or recall.
