FRIDAY EVENING. DEC, 16. 1904
THE LEGISLATURE
that you will be - compelled to
pay out money to - accomplish a
thing that is of no benefit to you
or the, general public: but is of
special utility to one or two in
dividuals, who, taking advantage
oi your luamerence as 10 wnai
the legislature was doing when
in sessiou, that they got a bill
passed that makes you and
others put up the cash to benefit
them but not a cents value to
you. It is too late to object after
the law is passed. If you neg
lected to keep posted : so as to
enter protest against bad laws
before they pass, you had better
hold your peace and pay what
ever taxes are imposed by law
and continue to read foreign
news with the full assurance
that the forthcoming legislature
will pass laws that you will be
bound to obey.
The law making power for
Oregon will soon assemble at 8a
lem and then and there proceed
to make Ltws for people to -obey.
You may be so indifferent as to

of this article and find but it, is
about legislative matter, you
leave it unread and go in search
of an item about the Russians
and Japan doings, or one that
tells how a cute woman got the
better of Aome wealthy man in a
far off city or land.;
It may be dull reading to keep
posted on what the Oregon leg
islature is doing,- and then it
may interest you much uior6
than the Russia Japan war . or
the act of an adventuress in New
York or Paris. The Oregon leg
islatore can, and without doubt
will order that you pay several
dollars of your own hard earn
ings into the, state or county
treasury to be expended to ac
complish something you never
heard o until you got the legis
lative mandate from the tax col
lector to come' down with "the
Rbyno, , .But it makes no differ
ence that you kept yourself io
ignorance the cash will have to

fication in front of a complaisant

It is to be admitted that th
Commissary of Subsistence un

It is an error to intimate that
the securities of Mrs. Chadwick

Ten years ago Japan exported
$650 worth of. cotton crepe to
the United States, but: now the
figure is $33,000 yearly. Japan's
total export of crepe is worth
$235,000 yearly.
. About two-thirds of all the
cotton textiles imported by Per
sia are of British manufacture
American cotton goods ' should
find a good market there.
A Belgian swimmer made a
wager recently that he could

With regard to American pro
ducts in Munick little progress
seems to' have been made by
American manufacturers in
selling goods, with the excep
tion perhaps of shoes, office fur

According to the report of the
postmaster general "that the ex-

ing year." Well, what..of it?
The farmers and their families
are entitled to the benefits of
the new service. They went
without them over a hundred
