AN IMPORTANT ELECTIO.V The slate and county election to be held in Oregon next June is the most iniortant, in point of numbers of slate, district, and ron nty officials to be elected, of any that itjll again be held tor 12 years to come, for lt.il only once in 12 years, tinder our present election laws, thai a complete set of slate, district and county ctlicers are chosen. The list ol stale officers, embracing the ovornor. secretary of slate, treasurer, school Miperintendent, attorney general, and state printer are lo be chosen, also a member of congress from each district. Two United Stales senators are to be elected at the two next sessions of the legislature, provided there ate t.o Sinioii-U'Kren bold ops to prevent. The voters oltlils district will be called upon to say who shall be circuit judge and district attorney, Judge McBride and Mr. Cleeton's terms expiring jiext July, as well as wbo shall be the next member of tbe state board of equaliiation. For Clackamas county two state senators and three representatives will have to be selected and the full county list embracing jndge, commissioner, clerk, sheriff, recorder, treasurer, assessor, school superintendent, surveyor and cororer, as also tbe justice! and constables for the various districts. It will ibus be eeeti that the voters of Or gon have a greater responsibility than usual resting upon them in the coming election, and as taxpayers and citizens it behooves theni to be ai ake to their interests and to the welfare and good name of the state Oregon, through a series of causes, is strug gling under a very heavy loud of high faxes, in the various levies required from state down lo K-bool tax, and to lessen this bur den will require men in otliee who are known to be thorough and successful busi ness men, and not merely politicians and vote-getters Our stale is just recovering from an era of unprecedented bard times and with the stimulus given to the financial and industrial energies of the country by tbe incoming of a republican national adminis tration, this slate can make, witb its bound less resources, a most marvelous growth in tbe next lew years lo come. But if the re publicans of Oregon are derelecl'in their duties and by distentions and indifference allow the state to come under control of the populists, with their reactionary methods and revolutionary practices, then may we expect, and be sure of undergoing another period ol depression and sana tion, lor both cat ital and ludor will shun our state, as lias been the case witb other stales, ai d the w ail of the calamity howler will displace the busy hum of industry. Another important fact that the republi cans ol Oregon should bear in mind, is that the senators from Oregon may dictate the po litical complexion of the next United Slates senate, so close is party lines in that body. It therefore is imperative that a republican legislature be chosen, so that Oregon may not be the means of handicapping President McKinley's administration with a senate antagonistic to the policy of tbe republican party. SHALL hTOKES CLOSE EARLY. The movement for early closing of bn si nets houses is making steady progress in many tow ns ol Oregon. Oregon City being about the only tow n of any size thut lias not either put the movement into effect, or at least having it under consideration, this town being content to keep in tbe old rut, in fact many of our stores, especially some of those started within the last year or so, keeping open so late as 10 lo 11 o'clock. Tbe Kugene merchants have effected an early closmgorganization and now all itores in that town close at 7 p. m. 8o many stores in Portland now close early that the custom of evening trading is being very materially lessened, all the better class of stores being closed, leaving only the small shops to grasp for the pennies of the late shoppers. There is neither reason nor thrift in keeping a store open late in the evening. Even here in Oregon City, with our large laboring population, the profits on the goods sold after 8 o'clock p. in. will not, one month with another, pay for the lights and luel consumed during these late hours. In fact there is very little trading done after 7 o'clock, and that done after 5 o'clock is principally in the grocery and jntalline and is in small packages which re carried to their homes by the purchasers. Since Hi custom of taking outers and free delivery lias been adopted by the merchant nine-tenths ol the day' bitumens la trannan ted before ft o'clock . m. and it the InitKimlj knew that the Mores closed early nil tlie trailing would he done that in now done and no one would be inconvenienced or would tutlVr by the chance in the hour of clo.liij. There is no more husdnejs necessity or reason for dry goods and grocery Mores to ramain open hall of the night, than there is for lawyers, doctors, or banks to keep lale hours and it is false economy to both mer chant and customer, I.ate closing deprives the merchant of the rest he needs, as well as the pleasure of having at least a few hours with his family, there being merchants In ! ,.,. p:,.. m m fne ..li i t!m nil... "'!''.. "o for weeks at a time, oilier than umlav, never see their children except at meal time and then only for a few brief moments as a hurried dinner Is euten. It rests with the merchants whether they shall keep their stores open 10 hours or 18 hours, their customers with Tew exceptions, would be satisfied with the ten hour limit in which to do their shopning. RACIAL DISTINCTION FOR VOTERS. An ellort is being made to organize the German voters of Clackamas countv for political purposes and to that end a meeting was held in this city last Sunday, which was attended by about 20 Germans. The moving spirit and power behind the throne in this effort to lurther complicate the political situation In this county by bring ing in a racial factor, is a few republican and democratic politicians wbo hne by this means to control the German vote in their Interests. To organize the voters of this county by racial distinctions is one of the most deplor able and at the same time dangerous (no vations which can be brought into our political system. This nation paid dearly, in the blood of its men and tbe tears of its widows and orphans, for allowing sectional (It (Terences to segregate its voters and we are already beginning to hear the ominous muttering of the arraying of our voters by classes against each otber, by the anarchis tic threats tbat are coming up from our great cities. And now to appeal to the racial pride and predjucies of the voters of free America and array them agniost each otber on selfish, personal lines, rather than on divisions over great questions of political economv, is to be deplored by every person who has the welfare and future peace of this nation at heart. Questions ol public policy and political economy should alone divide the voters of this country, and the fitness of the men to represent these principles and their ability and manhood should oe the test of their qualiticalions when seeking the suffrages of their fellow voters, and that they represent the German, the Irish, the French, tbe Dago or the the twenty other nationalities having large following In the United States, should not be considered Tbe future stability and prosperity of tbis nation demand that its voters be Americans, no matter under what Hag they were born, and tbat no racial, class or sec tional ditlerences array them into hostile factions. Senator Geo. W. Mi'BriPK left last Sat urday for the East where he will attend meeting in St. Paul, of the senate special committee to consider plans for checking the floods in tbe Mississippi river, either by building reservoirs on its headwaters or by a system of levees to retain the Hood when once started. This investigation will take several weeks, as the committee will visit all parts of tbe Mississippi valley, after which the Senator will go to Washington to ar range bis work lor the coming session of con gress, wli ich meets in December. Congresv men Tongue and Kllis will leave for Wash ington in two or three weeks, so as to be there in ample time to get their work in shape before congress convenes. 8PIKIT OK THE F&KS& "Congressmen Tongue and W. R. Kllis are going to Yaipuina liay soon, says the Yaiiina New s, to examine the public works there. (Senator George W. McBride would have made one of tbe party, hut the sub committee on commerce ol which he is a member meets in St. Paul on tbe Irtiu inst, hence his inability to be here." The Ore gon delegation are alive to the interests of the entire stale and are doing ellicient work for Oregon. That our present laws for the collection of taxes works a very great hardship upon poor men who Are uulurtuiiate enough to get upon the delinquent list, is a lact that is most deeply deplored by all who wish the poor to have a fair show in the struggle to gain a home. On this subject the Port land Farm, Flock and Factory has the fol lowing sensible words to say: "The idea that, because taxes on lands are delinquent, they shall be advertited at great expense, bid in by monied men and then again specu lated on, is a shame. If land taxes are de linquent, they should be simply forfeited to the county, redeemable by the owner at any time within lOyears upon the payment of the taxes due and legal interest for all delinquencies. People should not be robbed out of their money or their lauds because they happen to be poor." f ree Fills. Send your address to II. E.
