Official Paper of Benton County.
OOBVAXUS, OREGON, JAN 21, 1905.
GOVERNOR AND SOLONS. -
Governor Chamberlain is on ab
solutely solid ground in his con
tention that the legislature should
not use the emergency clause mere
ly as a bar to the referendum veto.
In adopting the initiative and refer
endum amendment, the people of
Oregon withdrew certain powers
that in the state constitution they
had hitherto granted the legislative
assembly. ' For instance, in estab-
; lishing the referendum, they reserv
ed to themselves the right to scru
tinize all legislative enactments,
and if so desired, to declare by pop
ular vote, such enactments, or any
- of them to be null, void, and of no
effect. The incorporation of the
referendum in the state constitution
means all this, and the legislature
has no right by frivolous and false
use of the emergency clause to seek
to withhold from the people their
known and full right of veto. .The
people have so voted, and the heavy
majority they threw for the meas
ure is the voice of their authority
It is, , in fact7 proper that they
have the'right of veto, and it will
be well if their resort, to it be fre
quent.. The fear that the people
may use the veto is the best and
and strongest influence to compel
virtuous and only virtuous legisla
tion. That fear, in fact, is the best
influence in the world to teach leg
islators to behave themselves. Scru
tiny now of the bills at Salem will
probably show that every measure
of doubtful or dangerous purport is
accompanied by an emergency
clause. The very attempt to seek
evasion of the referendum veto, is
in itself a sign of guilt, and a look
beneath the surface will probably
disclose in all such bills a wicked
provision ora thrifty scheme. In a
special message. Governor Cham
berlain has fairly warned both
houses not to undertake by usa of
the emergency clause to deprive the
common herd of the right to veto,
and if, as report has it, the legisla
tors insist on the opposite course,
they will be certain to find the peo
ple, almost to a man, on the side of
the governor.

OPPOSE THEH.
Benton Salary Bills Delegation Went
Down Oats not Wanted.
Considerable opposition appears
to have developed locallv to thp re
form bills introduced by Senator
Avery and Representative Carter
in the legislature - Senator AyerVs
bill plans to abolish the recorder's
office and transfer the care of the
records to the county clerk. It pro
vides a deputv for the clerk at
salary of $400 a year. The salary
01 the recorder is js 1,000 pef year,
and the authors of the bill fi on rf.
that $600 would be saved the coun
ty by the arrangement. .Serious
opposition however, is said to have
arisen. It general, it is not art out
spoken but more of an under-sur-
tace hostility. Some of the-f epub
licans sav there'is "rxilitics" im it.
but in what way the abolition of
1 county office could.be said to be
'politics" is hard to understand
There are democrats too, who, say
that the"' move is a. step backward,
though the big county of Baker,
with a city in it of 10,000 inhab
itants is stepping in the same -di
rection by abolishing the county
recorder's office there, the bill for
which introduced by republican.
Senator Rand, has already passed
the senate. ' .
There is also opposition to ' the
reduction of the salaries of tire coun
ty judge and ,he county school su
perintendent. This bill was introd
uced by Representative Carter, and
is now pending in the house. , It
cuts the salary of the county judge
from $900 to $700 per vear. and the
county superintendent frorn&iooo
to f 800, The cut in the county
judge's salary is to take place at
the end of Judge Watter" s term, a
year and a half hence, and - the
lowering of the salary of theuper
intendent is to take effect in 1908,
when Superintendent Denmanrs
present term ends. A meeting of
the republicans, called by the coun
ty chairman was held Tuesday ev
ening, and action taken to inform
Representative Carter that there is
serious opposition here to the pend
ing bills. The following morning,
a delegation of workers went to Sa
lem to make a talk against the
measures. It is probable that all
of them will fail of passage, in
spite of. the fact that there are
many who believe that all of them
should become laws. (
