Il0R.SK tlOl'OIIT AND Sol.D At the
Scappoose Livery Stable.
Scappooae, Oregon,
Of thirty-two measures on the ballot
at the recent election there were but
seven that met the approval of tha maj
ority of the voters. They were the
following:
An act authorizing- the establishment
of a branch Insane asylum in Eastern
Oregon.
A bill providing for the permanent
supptrt and maintenance of the Oregon
Normal School at Monmouth.
The Home Rule amendment.
An employers' liability law.
A bill prohibiting the taking of fish
from the Rogue River except by angling.
Toe good roads amendment-
An amendment changing judicial pro
c ilute, terms of Indues, etc.
Tl t Eatteru Oregon Insane Asylum
bill carries an appropriation of f 200,000,
ihichsuin includes maintenance cost
;p to December 11)02. Within 60 days
;ba uct becomes a law, the Governor,
Secretary of State and State Treasurer
wlli select a site for the instution within
five miles of Baker, Union or Pendleton.
Aft r selecting the site they will have
plans drawn for buildings capable of
accommodating not lens than COO
patients, and will cause the same to be
elected. After the hospital i com pie ted
the b.-nrd, with the advice anl counsel
of the superintendent of the Asylum at
Salem, will select such patients as shall
be removed to tha branch in-ititution and
thereafter the board will direct the
various countiet as to which asylum
their insane shall be sent.
Tha Monmouth Normal School bill
creates a separate fund fur the support
and maintenance of the institution,
buildings being already provided. For
putting money into the fund a tax of
one twenty-fifth of one mill is levied on
each dollar of taxable property in the
state. This tax will provide a'lout $23,
00.) yearly. There will probably be
sufficient money iu tin fund to permit
the reopening of the school next Fall.
The Home Rule bill ostensibly gives
cities and towns exclusive pjwer to
license, regulate, control, suppress or
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors
within tha municipality, but it is so
loose'y drawn that the ablest lawyers
disagree as to its real effect.
The full meaning and intent of -the
Rogue Rivos fis iiiij bill is expressed in
its title. It simply prohibits the taking
of fish from the stream except bv hook
and line. The bill puti oat of business
a valuable fish c tmiery at the mouth of
the river. Althuugn the new law aifuets
only a comparatively small 'community
in the southwestern corner of tha state
and the people at laige knew nothing
concerning thj merits of the act, it was
approved by a large majority.
The good roads amen Inieut letnoves
a restrict;, m now found in the const.
itutiun against a county incurring more
than $ 5000 indebtedness to build per
manent ro.nU, The adoption of a gen
eral statute by popular vote providi ng a
method for counties to incur more than
ftOOO indebtedness for roads will pro
bably be necessary before advantage can
be taken of the amendment.
A CORRECT STATEMENT
The Mist w,i9 in error last week in
the statement that I was defeated by
over 400 voV's. Assuming that the
totals given in the Mitt were correct, if
to these the vote received by Mr.
La Hare and- myself in the Rainier
preciuct not accounted for, be added,
Mr. La Bare and I have 989 and 683
respectively.
For the reasou that a certain
"politician", previous to the election,
"gave out the information'' iu various
places that I would not cr.rry my own
town, I wish my frieuds to know that
in the Rainier precincts, I received 301
votes to my opponent's 50.
Very respectfully,
J. B. WH.KEBSON.
