THE SALARY BILL.
Two bills to raise the salaries of Columbia County officials
nave ocen ltitroaucca by beuator Hodson aud have passed
the Senate. The salary of the sheriff is not directly raised,
but his traveling expenses are provided for. leaving $1400
per year net compensation.
me biicnii s traveling expenses Jiave been oaid out of Ins
own pocket, and we understand that in at least
his monthly expense exceeded his salary. The office is one
in which a man is called upon to risk his life for the public
good, and the-present sheriff has never been found wanting
either in courage or ability. We do not believe there are
very many substantial taxpayers in this county who cousider
$1400 per year any moie than a reasonable compensation for
a laimmi aiscnarge 01 tne duties ot that omce.
The office of assessor is, sd far as our financial prosperity
is concerned, the most important in the county. This bill
proposes to increase this salarv to 1200 ner vear net. If
the people want good work
willing w pay ior u. 1
lost to Columbia County the
the salaries of Columbia County's officials for all time to:
come by the slipshod manner in which assessments have;1'
been made. The present assessor is improving quite rapidly ; ' "
and is giving the pconle a better show than thev have liaH !
for years. Very much remains to be done, and his work!

WHAT IS THE REMEDY?
The Mist ist in reciept of a
Minneapolis paper by President Klliot of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad, the object of which is to instruct the country
press as to the great efforts
transportation companies to
tne tiusiness ot the country. It is a very able special plea
and demonstrates that the Northern Pacific has paid out an
mmense sum of money in the
and if the railroads have done
must be admitted that under private ownership they are un
able to cope with a great emergency. Mr. Elliot very truth
fully says the railroads are not in possession cf Aladdin's
lamp. They cannot procure an unlimited supply of money
by merely wishing for it, and is not so very long since
many of them were in the hands of the receivers. There is,
however, one corporation that can secure all the funds neces
sary to meet any emergency. It has demonstrated its ability
to raise billions upon its promise to pay and it can get all
the men and means necessary to keep pace with its own
prosperity. The Government of the United States is a pub
lic service corporation. If it owned the roads there would be
no necessity for a car shortage or a coal famine. It does
not hesitate to run rural free delivery roads wherever it can
serve a reasonable number of people, nor is it alarmed if
some particular branch of its service fails to pay expenses.
It spends billions upon the improvements of rivers and har
bors and looks to l he general prosperity of the country for
its returns. If it owned roads it could order cars from Flori
da to the Dakotas, or from any point where there was an
abundance to a point where there was a scarcity. It wonld
not have to make enormous profits upon watered stock or to
go into the hands of a receiver at the first breath of hard
times. In fact, the ownership of the railroads by the Gov
ernment would do much to prevent the recurrence of such
times. The prosperity of the country is in the hands of
the transportation companies. Why not put the transpor
tation companies iu the hands of the Government.

I fx lit prodgies, child won.lrrs, juve
nile actors und entertainers are debarr
ed from the s.iige by Semite bill 20 in-
trodued by Senator Beach and drafted
and advocited liy Judge Kraner, of the
Portland Juvenile Court, h) the Port
land Telegram. This provision govern
ing child performance appear to hi the
....i.. ... ...i.i..i. ...;n .i;o.,i;.

(action in the future. The objevt
oi the bill In tl'O inuin is to regulate the
treatment and con I ml of dependent,
neglected mid delinquent children, to
provide for their suport, edm-atlon and
punishment, to provide fr the separa
tion of children from udults when con
lined in jails, and to supervise all corpo
ratiouti, ancit-tii'S and hist tuiious whirb
receive under the provisions of the art.
Toe sweeping part of tlia measure
which eliminates tho child performer is
"and any child under the nge of 14 yeara
who is found begging, peddling or sell
ing any articles, or singing or playing
any musical instrument upon the street
or giving any public entertainments, or
who accompanies or is n)l in aid or any
person so doing."
if this construction ol the proposed
law is correct, and it so upiars, because
no exceptions nre specified, it will a licet
many of the performances given in Port
land theatres. There is scarcely a
mouth when a child acrobat, musician
or actor is not found on one ot tlw vaud
yillo bills, and et least that often chil
dren nre found in the plavs presonted
"'!rea i'rveling com-
panics. Kverv circus has a half a doxen
boy clowns, riders and gymnasts, and
all these are under the ttkiue
The bill will also prevent children
from picking bops in the fields of the
Willntiittte Valley, or strawberries lu
Eastern OiCgou, because It is a mensute
to prevent child labor.
In vot'ng for Ibe bill, the Seuators un
Coiiciously put themselves on record
against their own pages, as the boys, or
ut least two of them, nre not 14 yeais
old. Senator Colo was lu the peculiar
position of oting for the bill which
alTects his own son, the youngest page
in the Senate Chamber.
These examples are some of the
awkward c inditions which are likelv to
arise after the bill becomes a luw, but

This interesting nnicle try to siy
something alout changed politics in
connection with the publication of the
court proceedings, but the writer of il
does not show very clearly where tho
politics come in. lie does, however,
bring out with commendable- clearness
one point. That is, that this paper, to
quote from the Chirk "lakes down th
proceeding as they come ff tho reel."
We nevercopy the proceeding, however,
before they are made a matter of record,
signed by the court.

A Year.
From experiments male at the Utah
Agricultural experiment station, it is
found the average hen consumes 82
pounds of grain and meal iu a year, and
and requires six pounds of oyster shells,
or its equivalent, for the egg shells.
The grain food cost about a cent a ound
and with the ntat or protlen food, the
total cost of food she requires is tib.iut
Tl a year. From this she ought to pro
duce 150 etrgs, valued at say $2. lite
hen pavs 100 per cent on her keep. Tula
is for first class board, wh re everything '
is paid for at market prices. What
about the heu that boards herself by
scavenging around the barnyard and
