Thb bill introduced in the legisla tura last Friday by Hall, of this coun ty, to regulate tbo salaries of county officer and their deputies, is not an extravagant measure. The fact of the matter is, heretofore the problem baa been a perplexing one because it per mitted of too much discrimination. Tbe matter was so unsettled aa to be a continual source of trouble, because it placed the harden upon the couit and commissioners of allowing or dis allowing help hif e in the different de partments. Should tbe bill become a law it will seal the matter of political bickering and bidding for county of fices. The present schedul of salaries is altogether inadequate. Time was, and not so long ago, when the salaries now paid would have been sufficient compensation for services rendered, but conditions are greatly altered, and tbe work to be done in tbe different departments has increased fully 100 per cent in the last six or eight years. Ths ratification of the peace treaty in the senate by a majority of one vote, last Monday, came to late. Had the action taken place at an earlier date there seems little doubt but that the recent battle at Manila between the United States troops and the Fil ipinos would not have taken place. Neither is there but little doubt but that the altercation hastened the rati fication of the treaty. The lives on either side which were sacrificed is af direct result of opposition to the treaty. Not subjects of any country, the Fili pinos, beaded by the man Aguinaldo, who se apparent motive is to tyrannize and pilfer, encouraged and permitted riot to run rampant. Tbe people of tbe Philippine island are now subjects of the United States, and it is possible under present conditions to treat them as a rebellious element and whip them into submission until such time as the question of retaining or sunendering . the islands is decided upon by this government, I It is a deplorable condition of affairs when property is submitted to the ravages of such unscrupulous charac ters as have been operating in differ ent portions of the county within tbe lost two weeks. The burning of tbe cord wood at Scappoose and tbe de struction of Freeman's gristmill at Fishhawk were acts not calculated to set the pace for anything but anarchy, the spirit of which is engendered through malice because one's neigh bors are prospering. An example should be made of the perpetrators of such lawless acts, and tbe example should be a severe one. Such acts dis courage improvement and frighten cap ital and intending settlers. In a com munity where such characters abide an honest man's property is certainly unsafe, and it is well for his sake that bis energies and capital are not ex pended in tbe improvement of his farm or home in order for it to be come the prey of highwaymen and. otherwise dangerous characters. In the law providing for the taxation of adjacent lands for the improvement of roads which we published extracts from last week, we believe can be found a most practicable plan by which a plank road can be built from the Nehalem valley to St. Helens. As we understand the law, no greater amount than 5 mills can be levied each year for that purpose, and such a levy may be made for ten successive years, but that is only a minor matter compared with the good rest ul Is to be bad. For instance, a quarter section of land along tbe proposed improvement be assessed at 1 1000, the owner would be required to pay but IS tax each year for tbe use of a good road, and the nonresident landowners are forced to bear their equal share of the taxation. There is not one person living along the rt'Ute between the two places men tioned but who could well afrjrd to lay the tax or two limes the tax each year for the improvement, benides property vhlaes would at once be in creased, the lands be mora eagerly sought, and the section vastly bene fitted In many ways. New homes would be established, the degree of production be increased because the possibilities for marketing it is at ouce at band; in fact the benefit to come cannot be calculated. Ths opporlun ity lies waiting for us to grasp it, and if it is not taken advantage of it will be entirely the fault of those whom it would relieve from the disadvantages of impassable roads the greater part ol the season. Wk published last week a few ex tracts from a law found in the session laws of 1893, regarding the improve ment of publio highways by taxalioi. of the lands directly benefitted, and bulieve the law to be a most feasible uud happy solution of the aggravating problem of improving toads. If the same amount of money that is annually paid to improve roads under the pres ent system were applied to a general fund for the improvement of one cer tain road directly benefitting the lands and the money expended j udioioualy in the permanent improvement of one road, that thoroughfare could be-made a fixture that would endure for all time. Let your opinion on the matter be given, at least. America is the richest nation on the globe. Mulball furnishes these figures : United States, 191.750,000,000; Great Britain, 159,030,000,000; France. H7. 950,000,000 ; Germany.140,260,000,000 j Kuesia, f 32,125,000,000 ; Austria, $22, 560,000,000; Italy, $15,800,000,000; Spain, $ir,300,000,000. These compu tations are based upon values ss showu by real-estate records, buildings, mer chandise and railways, as well as the circulating medium in each nation. As well be seen our wealth ia more than seven times greater than that of Spain, double that of (Jermany, two and one-half times greater than that of Russia, nearly double that of France, equal to the combined wealth of Bus sis, Italy, Austria and Spain, and f 22, 720,000,000 larger than that of Great Britain. Oregon voters will once more be oalled upon to decide tbe question whether or no the fairer sex is to en joy the right of suffrage. Tbe resolu submitting the issue a second time to the voters of the slate in the form of a constitutional amendment passed both houses of the legislature last Thursday by all but a unanimous vote. It was a good-natured concession to a personal appeal from Mrs. Duniway, who bad beea very active in tbe lobby.' A sim ilar resolution passed at tbe last reg ular legislative session, and the pro posed amendment will be submitted at the next general election. It ia our honest belief that tbe women of Ore gon do not care for the privilege to which the act would entitle tbem. Many women would avail themselves of the opportunity, but in our candid opinion few ladies would ever go to tbe polls to vote. Characters more mascu tin than femiu ine trapse about tbe country agitating this question, whose time had vastly better bespentin tbeir homes performing the functions of woman making tbeir homes happy comfortable- and attractive to their husbands, sons and daughters, and so permeate the homes, and surround ing the husband and sons with such good influences as to impress upon the minds of .them the duty of supporting by their ballot a clean and bonesl gov ernment. Such conduct would bare a vastly greater influence for good than if tbe women took it upon themselves to purify the ballot and at tbe same time degrade the home by neglect and degrading themselves by stepping to the plane of those who are by nature tbeir iuferiors. Our county needs nothing so much as good roads. Nothing will so favor ably advertise it as good roads, and nothing will prove so great a detriment as bad roads. A bad road is a heavy tax upon all who use it ; the worse the road tbe heavier tbe tax. Lands can not be sold to any advantage along bad roads. Bad roads cause a decline in agriculture. They impose the great est of all burdens on the farmer. Bad roads cause people to gather in a city and leave tbe country. Bad roads wear out tbe horses rapidly, thus de tracting tbe profit of the farmer. Good roads in the end will not cost so much as poor ones. Good roads increase the price of the farm and farm products. Farmers can always market on good roads, despite the weather. Good roads shorten the distance to be traveled, and tbe distance to market. Civiliza tion is judged by the roads. The ob ject of all legislation should be the greatest good for the greatest number; therefore legislation should be liberal toward good roads, as tbey are more generally useful than any other kind of publio improvement. In order to obtain good roads in Oregon we must abandon our present methods and adopt one more suitable for a civilized country. A roadbuilder should be ed ucated for bis work the same as a physician or a lawyer are educated for their professions. All road taxes should be paid in cash to the county treas urer, and kept separate as a road fund. The county courts are the proper per sons to have charge of and distribute road funds. The county courts of the various counties in Oregon should se lect a competent person a civil engi neerwho should be styled county road master, and who should, under the direction of the oounty court, carry on the road work of the county. Iu this way the county court would be furnished with necessary skill in doing road work. Thb names of Senators Hale, of Maine, and Hoar, of Massachusetts, look very pretty In the list of those who voted against the ratification of the peaoe treaty. "Evil associations corrupt good morals," eto. Admiral Dewey's two brothers and bis nephew at Montpelier confirm tbe statement that be is a republican.

' Sbcbktaby or Stats Dunbar's new ruling in regard to not charging for state seals ou deeds given by the state is one in the right direction. This source of revenue was worked for all there was in it during Kincaid's in oumbency of office, but then Kiucaid was a reformer with hia mouth, and a transformer with bis hands. An revoir, Harry. Corvallis Gazette. Henry Wattkrsok nominates Dew ey and Lee for presideut and vice pres ident in 1900, and the platform "The Stars and Stripes." He seems to think what this is necessary as an offset to McKinley and Wheeler. He says "The bloody shirt has gone) to the old clothes-basket. The president knows his business. At an opportune moment we shall see Wm. McKinley and Joseph Wheeler march down to tbe footlights hand in hand, the flag above them, and emblazoned on the red, white and blue: Tbe Land We Love From End to End,' or words to tbat effect. IH COLUMBIA C0UMTT, TOO. We hear a great deal now and then about grafting. Here is one instance in a nutshell: State Secretary Kiu caid, before he retired from office last week, paid himself $90 out of the state funds for subscription to the Eugene Journal his own paper einoe 1864. What a consumate gall. This should opeu people's eyes and make them in quisitive to know what other grilling itcheme he perpetrated upon the tax payers. A man like that needs watch ing, and we are sorry he is in the news paper profession. From all appear ances it is about time tbe boodle gang at Salem was relegated to tbe back ground, for its whole object was graft, graft, graft. Tillamook Headlight. Unfortunately for Columbia county we have had reformers engaged in the newspaper business whose whole ob ject was graft, graft, graft. A "Busted Community." Tbe socialistic community that start ed a co-operative society near Hast ings, B. C, three years ago, is a "busted community. Bellamy's dream '-Looking Backward" was tbe idea aimed at by the little band of well-meaning vis ionaries, who, to the number of 200, left comfortable homes in Vancouver to wander after strange gods in the trackless wilderness of British Co lumbia. One hundred thousand dollars, or $500 each, was the amount of cash provided to found the city of Bellamy, as it was called, and those who did not provide money were allowed to pay into tbe treasury an equivalent in time checks hi exchange for labor on public building. Wbea tbe social departure was fairly inaugurated a board of com missioners was appointed to settle dis putes and to teach the doctrines ot Bellamy. The colony soon numbered 500 men, women and children. Saw mills, farms and tradesbops were start ed. At first all tbe men received the same wages. Brains or skill did not count for a cent. Soon those who shirked work lived at the expense of tbe active toilers, and tbe colony 'was compelled to start a scale of wages. Boon after the colony was founded (he brainy men ceased to think the necessity did to exest. There was no spur to ambition; no competition. Then it was discovered that the work done in ths shops and mills was so in ferior that it was not marketable out side. ' Many shareholders in the com munity asked for their money baok, but they did not gt it. Pome dotorted. The common eating-houses and herd ing ot big dwellings led to biokoriugs and jealousies among the women folk. The men took up the quarrels ot the weaker sex, and every man's hand was raited against his neighbor. Tht commissioners who held the cash and arbitrated were overwhelmed with applications for the administra tion of justice, monetary and social. The commissioners were not equal to the occassion and resigned in a body. No members ot the community would take their pluoe, aud there was no law, no justioe. Members earned money outside the community, and on their return the members, still faithful to the tenets ot Bellamy, demanded that a division be made of the spoils earned outside. Then the shrewdest and fittest stsrt ed up the sawmill and farms again and employed their weaker brethren for wages iu defiance of socialistic principles. The community was drift ing back into old channels. The am' bilious got the reins of power in their hands, and all went well for a little while. Then creditors arrived, and there was no money to pay them, Tht books of the community showed a debt of $100,000. It was a "busted com munity," Danger of the Grip.
