Official Paper of Benton County,
CORK eAXXJS, OREGON, JAN. 17, 1903.
FREE COAL. .
A republican congress has re
moved the duty from coal and made
its importation free. The duty on
the product has so operated to the
advantage of the coal trust that the
latter in the arrogance and brutality
- ofits exactions has plunged coal
using cities and districts into - lam
" natble . conditions. Poor people
have been stealing coal in order to
save themselves from freezing, and
the courts, recognizing that the
thefts were a measure of self-preser
vation, have suspended punishment.
The discovery has been maae that
Thile people were freezing to death
in their fireless homes, coal men,
backed up by the heavy duty onim
txirted coal were in ap-iVantio con
spiracy to keep up prices by with
holding vast supplies of coal from
the market. The situation has cre
ated such a state of widespread in
dignation, that congress has simply
. been compelled by public senti
ment to remove the duty on coal.
As it has been with the coal trust,
so in time will it be with the steel
and other combinations. When a
man or a body of men have the
power, natural selfishness will lead
tblP to exact tribute to the last
""limit. We have all seen It evm,"
plified in the widespread"misery the
"fcoal combination has just wrought.
It is going on in the same way in
the case of the steel trust, Standard
Oil and scores of other combina
tions. Men cannot resist the tempta
tions of innate greed.The trusts will
exact and exact, will turn the
thumb screws tighter and tighter
until by and by people will discern
as they have in the case of the coal
trust that prohibitive tariffon monop
ly goods is the implement by means
of which the multitude is robbed,
and then, one by one, the tariffs
will go. It may not happen today
or tomorrow, but it will happen.
At one time, the tariff may ' have
been sincerely designed as an aid
Tor labor. Time has shown that
the labor organization is the sure
and only protection of workings
men's " wages. Congress sees it,
acknowledges it, and seals it - with
a complete and unrestrtcted remo
val of the duty from coal.
erty and money largely escape tax
ation, and urges that means be
found to correct the evil, a recom
mendation in which he is heartily
supported in the message ofretiring
Governor Geer, and by the common
desire of every owner of real estate
in the country,
Mr Chamberlain argues with a
force and clearness that begets con
viction, that in the interest of econ
omy, state officers should be placed
on nat salaries, and appeals - to
members of the legislature to stand
by platform pledges in this respect.
He urges enactment of a law pro
viding tor arbitration between cap
ital and labor, and very correctly
deducts that now, when the state is
upon the threshold of a great . era
in industrial development is the
proper time to undertake such leg
islation. ' He urges withdrawal for
two years of the State school lands
from sale, and appeals for adoption
of measures for rescuing the residue
from the onslaughts of speculators
and grabbers and. saving it intact
for the benefit of the common school
filndT
These,, and many other recom
mendations, designed in the inter
est of retrenchment and a healthful
condition in public affairs commend
the message to the thoughtful con
sideration of the legislature, and
make it deserve an honorable place
among the deliverances of Oregon's
former chief executives.

. HIS RECOMNENDA TIONS. ;
. The message of Governor Cham
berlain is an able and elegant state
paper. It is clear and direct in sta
tement, broad in conception, and is
clothed in polished diction. Every
recommendation that it embodies
is a sensible proposal. It insists
that there should be but two instead
of four Normal schools, and that
"money devoted to the extra two
should be applied to the common
schools, a . proposition absolutely
axiomatic. It declares that real
estate bears more that its just share
f taxation" and that personal prop-

VICTOR P. MOSES,
County Clerk.
A lone boy of 17 looks out from
behindthe steel bars of the county
jail now. He is " Harry Lyons
sentenced Tuesday by Judge Gref
foz to 40 days in jail, for the hand
he had with Chester Keady in an
assault on George Fiske which re
sulted in a fall by the latter from a
sidewalk and the breaking of an
ankle bone.
Tuesday night Keady and Lyons
effected an escape from the city
jail. They were not locked in the
cells, but were left by officers in
corridor. During the night, friends
on the outside - passed a crow bar
in to them, and the two boys quick
ly burrowed through the brick
wall of the jail. Friends were in
waiting with a carriage and the
whole party drove to Albany.
There Keady, Thomas Cameron
and Ernest Stewart took trains for
Oregon City, where Thursday they
were apprehended and taken in
custody by Oregon City officers on
state warrants issued at the in
stance of Deputy District Attorney
Bryson. The warrants for Camer
on and Stewart are on a charge of
assisting prisoners to escape, for
which the penalty under both the
state and city law is severe. War
rants of the same character ! are al
so out for Thomas Flett and Jo
seph Day, who brought back from
Albany the vehicle in which the
party went away, but subsequent
ly disappeared.
Charles Young left yesterday
morning for Oregon City to bring
the offenders to Corvallis.
. The father of. the boy Fiske,
wnose ankle bone was broken as a
result of the assault by Keady and
Lyons, has arrived and is with bis
son."
