It has been the fashion in Oregon to say that the last legislature was the worst that ever cursed the state. It is undeniable, however, that the one just closed at Salem was the most reckless, unscrupulous and extravagant that ever met in Ore gon. No one can be found so poor as to do it reverence. They had no compassion on the poor no mercy on the tax payer. They seemed to be imbued with only one idea, and that was to vote away, for any and every object, all the money in the treasury. They re deemed no pledges; they kept few promises. Our joint representative, James U. Campbell, told the house on one occasion that it was almost impossible to get a bill through the house, unless it called for an appro priation. It is computed that sixty tcr cent, of nil the bills passed called for an increase of salaries, new commissions and money votes of one kind and another. So com pletely oblivious were they to the demand for retrenchment and econ omy that the entire appropriation bill, as it left their hands, is about one and a half million dollars great er than was ever made before. They came together declaring that they were going to "put the gover nor in a hole," a uio.it unworthy ambition, and one but poorly real I ml. With them it was a case of "exaggerated ego" which they, doubtless, have discovered by this time. Hut while saying this, it would be unfair to charge that they were all reckless and extravagant. There were several members in both the . . , , a I house imil senate who honestly tried todotheirduty to their constituents. aiki loremost among tiicse, iiiiow me to say was our joint representa tive, Hon, James l. Campbell, of Oregon City. Representing as he did a class who weie largely inhab itants of cities and towns. I did . . ... ..I. not look for this. Hut from the very start he took a manly stand in behalf of the laboring classes. So far as I can sec hvTsupported every measure calculated to benefit the state, and he stoutly opposed every- imiiK mm iuum.u hhk useless waste of the public funds. '1 he people of St. Johns 1 would do well to remember him should they ever nave a ciiaucc to vote lor unit uku". iic wua iiiiicwi mc i"' of the people, btich men are scarce and should be appreciated when wu have them. Addressing the House shortly before the legis lature adjourned, Mr. Campbell said:. "The way this legislature has appropriated money out of the treasury for various purposes in differed: parts of the state reminds me of a gang of robbers gathered together to divide the loot." Hut there were several other good men of whom I may have occasion to speak later on. J. II. Fletcher. New Pension Law. Kvery old soldier who wore the; blue during the civil war will get a pension. This .was guaranteed when the house of representatives recently passed without amendment the service pension bill passed by the senate on January u. I-or years the proposition to pen- dates.

The Grand Army of the tons to improve the ball park near Republic has exerted every effort in its power to bring ubout such legislation, Soldiers' tensions now less than the amounts named in the bill just passed will be raised accordingly.
