A 0RD AllOIJf SALARIES, i , . Tilt) ordinance Introduced by fjotlh oilman Jones for tlio purpose, of putting the city attorney's salary Tai'k at the sum allowed when tho present incumbent accepted tho offb o, nnd, by his action In so doing, prom ised to porform the duties required by the office for the sum of $1200 a year, has not been heard of or from elnce lta Introduction. It has prob ably been laid on the table, or under it, or otherwise put safely and com fortably to sleep. Wo suggost that Councilman Jones wake tho little 1111 Ue, and let us hear him cry, If noth ing more. It Is stated tho mayor also 'regrets his action in consenting to this Increase, and it Is suggested he might have his spinal column starched up, and take a hand In undoing the things ho should not hnve done. Coun cllmcn Mlnton and Jones both say they are In favor of putting the amount of tho salary back where It was, but, somohow, they are not Rotting action. Tho suspicion Is growing that tho city attorney has the majority of tho coun cil tucked away In his pocket. That tho creature has become greater than Its creator, and that when tho city at torney tunes up his fiddle tho coun cllmon get ready to dance. This, of course,, Is merely a suspicion, hut till well, the olty attorney is draw In that extra $300. With more city engineers and the other city expenses increasing along all lines, that $300 should be saved, for the city will prob ably need It In its business, especial ly should the dry element succeed In cutting off revonue from llquqor li censes. In the meanwhile "an open, free confession Is good for the soul," and The Journal columns are open to any of the council, tho city attorney or tho mayor, for an explanation of whji they voted to ralso tho city attor ney's salary, and also why they do not voto to put It back to whore it be longs. !KI AS A MARC II II fl K. "TPIII'I Oregonlan Thursday Jumps on I to Governor West, alleging that tho salary bll Introduced at his request lii the legislature was a sal ary grabbing measure. Tho big paper, as usual, gets so much red in Its eyes whenever It, mentions tho governor that It can seo nothing In 113 truo col ors. How unjust, unfair nnd un called for lis attack Is, Is ovldonl when the fact Is that Governor West did not mention the amount of any of the salaries, leaving those amounts to bo filled In for each county by the members of the legislature from the county. If there Is any salary grab ,!u II, ns tho Oregonlan asserts then the members of tho legislature, not the governor, should bo the object of the big newspaper's attack. Now, ngnln, to show the animus of the attack, lot us take the Oregonlun's own figures. There were only 12 counties In which salaries were changed, nnd these, according to tile Orcgnnlan's flgiireM, show as follows, I ho figures for tho hills passed coin ing first, nnd being the totals, the sec ond flguniB being those pressed: Lin coln county $IS,r,0, $l:lilil; Crook, I'jnufl, $!i.'o0; Hood Itlver, $'it(0. $:.t!tm; Jose phine. $S(l()0, $S200j l,ako, $tJilun, $0200; Columbia, $!Mon. 8200; Wash ington, $r.700, $l!200; llenton, $8200 $82(10; Wheeler, $:i(!0(. $11200; Harney 10,or,0, $!)2O0; Jackson, $7:0O, $2u0; Marlon, $10,100, $lo,0o(i. The grand total of tho bills passed by the legis lature, and whose act Is commended by the Oregonlan, In $87,00. Tho grand total of the bill Introduced by LADD & BUSH, Bank ers ; , k TRANSACTS A (JENEIIAL HA Mil NO 1I1SINESS. SAFETY DE ' . . :: l'ONIT 1I0XES. TltWELEHS' CHECKS, We have on Hand the New Nickel ': :: with the Bison and Indian Head j the governor, nnd which salaries were fixed by members of tho luglsla ture fi'OM the respective counties, Is $85,00, or $1900 less than the bill commended by tho Oregonlun and held up by It as a rebuke to West. Truly, "whom, tho Gods would dostroy they first make mad," and our big contemporary down the creek is cer tainly mad ns a March hare, to thus print tho evidence of Its own Insincer ity, and give vent to its spleen. The Oregonlan story also goes on to state that In the bills passed "there was a good nnd sufficient reason for the increases." Was there? For in stance, tho salary of the comity judge of Marlon county was raised from $1200 a year to $1800. If the Oregon Inn, or any one else, can point out a good reason for this ralso, quite a largo number of Marlon county folks would be plensed! to havo it done. Judge Hushey is a clever gentleman, a good county Judge, but the people gen erally wero not clamoring to havo hlB salary raised, and he would not have resigned, had the salary been left as It was, and we might add that this is $200 more a year than that "detestable Gill bill, tho Infamous salary grab," would havo given him. SALVATION AUMT MAY HAVE NEW HOME Among tho building projects which are booked to bo started in Salom dur ing tho coming Bummer la that of a modem fireproof hall for tho Salvation Army, Whllo Tlrlgadler Dubln was hero a few days ago the question came up for a brief discussion between that official nnd Captain N. II. Loronzon, of tho local company. Brlgadlor Du bln will ho here again next week and the proposal will be further consid ered at that time. Captain Iirenzen has several doslr ahlo locutions for the hall In view, but has no option on any of them. Tho present location of tho quarters in the old building at Commercial nnd Ferry streets, Is n very desirable location, biiit, It Is doubtful If a deal can be ne gotiated with Max Huron, ownor of tho corner, for the construction of quarters at that plnco. Tho corner Is much larger than could be used by the army, and Captain Loronzon admits that It would bo Impractlcablo for the owner of the property to divide the corner. There Is a possibility that n largo building may bo built on the corner In tho next year and a portion of It leaned to the army people, S)(I00 Is Needed. Captain liorenzen dates that the sum of $0000 donated by friends of tho work will make a new building lKsslblo If the building Is constructed by tho army Itself, Tho method fol lowed by tho national headquarters of tho army Is to pay one-third of the rost of new buildings after two-thirds of tho amount has been raised by the local forces. Captain Uirenzen says that, he has a donation of $1000 availa ble as soon as bo Is ready to begin op era! Ions and possibly another dona tion equally largo In sight. If a new building Is constructed It will probably be a two-story structure with tho lower floor devoted to tho ordinary uses of tho army and the upper rtlon used ns a dormitory nnd either operated by tho army or rented to others for similar purposim. It Is I i custom of tho army where It. has commodious quarters to maintain n dormitory for the benefit of laboring men who make use of tho army ac commodations. First, neeeesary thing in a leglsta- ture; a quorum. LIVE HERE WHEN HE'S Says If He Ever Leaves Portland, He Will Live Here, lien the Abote Statement. "Says I, the people of Salem arc the cream of the universe (and I've traveled some) when It comes to show ing courtesy, kindness and all around good feeling toward strangers; God bless 'em, and may they continue to prosier and remember at least, that Joe Singer leaves them with a feeling of groXJtude and sincere appreciation of their friendliness, notwithstanding ho has met but a comparatively few of tho fine citizens." This was the gallant statement made by tho ever popular sergeant-at-anns of tho house of ropresentativea as he shook hands with the manager of the Hotel Marion and departed for his home In Portland yesterday afternoon. Without doubt, Joe' was THE shin ing light of the recent session. Proud of his Jewish ancestors, j,rou(j 0 tho distinction of iMnjr an official during three assemblies of tho Oregon legisla ture and proud of the fact that he can boost of as many friends la Salem as any person outside of the (Clt.y, joe leaves for Portland with a loftfclng to remain and continue his friendly re lations In tho Capital City. "There ain't no use talking," stated Joo yesterday, "this town and her in habltants lias mo wishing I lived here. Look at tho climate, the wide streets, and dandy peoplo and everything else going to mako up an Ideal place to live. Why, mnn alive, there ain't a better place on the ball than Salem, If one desires to llvo in peace and qul otudo. Everybody has treated me fine. Everybody has treated everybody else fine. What more can a human being want? If ever I chango my place of resi dence, bollevo nie, mister, I'm going to live In Salem." MR, HARRIS EI'RMSIIES STATISTICS ON DAMAGES To R. A. Harris, state printing ex port and veritable perambulating com pendium In the matter of labor and Industrial statistics, Governor Wt has given the task of satisfying one Hamilton Hlgday, of tho Washington Industrial commission, who has writ ten Uie executive office of Oregon for a grist of data and statistics on in dustrial conditions in this state. Mr. Hlgday proposes to get out a book on the Biibject of Industrial conditions and Is gathering data from all of the states, Tho Washington man asks particu larly about the working of the em ployers' liability act, which has Just been passed by tho legislature. The answer will show that 47 liersonal damage cases reached tho supreme court la 1012, all arising out of Indus trial accldens. Cases which were "cttlod out of court or which went no farther than the circuit court are not Included in this figure. A sum of $li!l,nir...ri0 was given In damages In theso 47 cases. The average damage was $l(iir).,'!2. HAS TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY THEREFORE LEARNED MI CH A new planet bus appeared In the lltlcal sky In tho person of C. F. Fisher, of Portland, who want to be appointed corporation commissioner, tho new office crea'ed by the passage of the bluo sky law. Mr, Fisher ap peared at tho state house yesterday fortified with a letter of recommenda tion from Dr. Charles Chamberlain, sou of Senator Chamberlain and re cent nppolntoo of tho governor to n position on tho state board of medical examiners. Chief among the many virtues ap pended to Mr. Fisher as recited In the letter Is the fact that bo has trav eled widely thereby becoming a Very fit man for the position of corporation commissioner In Oregon. Fisher Is ,ho third candidate for tho Job. The other candidates are C. 1). llabcock, present corporation clerk In the office of Secretary of State Olcott, and Representative Mitchell, of Baker county, who Introduced the blue sky bill in the house, To Cure a Cold In One D'lj.

The senator has not yet been on his Job long enough to distinguish between applications and endorse ments. ' ' The raising of tho salaries of county officials Is no doubt soothing to City Attorney Pago. He Is no longer so lonesome. Still the people of Salem would like real well to know why he nailed the office before asking for the increased pay. Cottage Grove Is feeling tho effects of street Improvements, in the in creased price of property. She will continue to feel them, especially along about tax-paying time. Mutt and Joff are not properly nam ed; they Bhould be mutton stew, for they are mostly potatoes and no meat, and have a decidedly woolly flavor. When the little frog tunes up for their evening serenades it Is not only evidence that spring has arrived, but that tho croak cusses are out. How can a proposed salary bill In which the salaries are less than thoso In a salary bill passed by the leglla tore be a "salary grub" whllo the other has "a good and sufficient reason for every Increase?" Ask tho Oregonlan, the only source from which that In formation can be derived. It. Is strange but true, that most of flee holders discover so quickly after being elected to an office after stren nous exertions on their part, that the salary Is entirely Inadequate, consid ering the talents and ability of the In cumbent tho citizens havo chosen. It looks ns though when a person once gets an office, that, person feels that every other office, In which tho salary Is larger than of that he is holding, right fully belongs to him They all believe In promotion.

Fislu r, of tho Eugene Guard, re cently sold that up-to-date paper and gave notice that ho would soon visit Mexico.
