Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING DEC 26, 1905. THE PRIMARY LA W.' It is too o'ien the habit of re formers to he impractical. Many a theory that is pretty on paper fails to YTTk o in practice. There are thoae'Vuo -,vil be badly fooled if the prlnnry r.w proves to be an unmixed 1) essing. There are those who do not hjpi for it to be a blessing at ell. It provides for two elections in stead of one, and thereby raises up a new expense that somebody has to pay. It essays to eliminate the political boss, but, since he can, with greater ease than can any body else, concentrate his forces for his particular candidate, it real ly leaves him as much or more pow.

Read more jobbery under the new plan tbem . all. than under the convention system, me sisfns ucne idc lactA- j.u au dition, there is the problem of mon ey. The candidate who has cash .and is willing: to spend it, even by only fair means has by far the greater chance of securing a nom ination. The new plan, while it p.-esents a pretty theory, has all the faults of the convention system, if not more, has no particular advantages, and it costs a lot of mone3'. LET THE REBATE STAND. The three per ce t rebate should not be abolished, as is proposed by " . ' . ' a new tax law tne Development League will offer voters through . the initial ve at the next election. 1 The rebate feature has proven one of the be-t agents in securing prompt payment of taxes, and it ought to s-tand unchanged. A re ward is probably effective in induc ing more people to do their dutv than is the fear of a penalty. There is a glamour about getting a three per cent rebate that caues property - owners, big and little, to hurry to the sheriff's counter with their tax money. Everybody likes to "get the best of it," and that the aver age taxpayer thinks he is doing in " matter of fact the early payments now are so well nigh universal that nobody is gainer in the long run. Tiarnum said once that people insist -on being humbugged, and in the rebate they are humbugged just enough to make the system work admirably, as experience has abund antly shown. It will be a mistake of mistakes, if, in the proposed law the rebate is not allowed to remain unchanged. It is emphatically and unquestionably a place to "let well enough alone. THAT DOWRY. The fool killer ought to be -sent fo Baker Citv at once. Alice 'would probably second the motion. Let us not be a nation of toadies and fawners. Honor the presid ent's daughter with good will and good wishes, but give the million dollar dowry to the poor. For the Christmas and New Year's holidays the following rates are author ized between all points on the G. & B. One fare for the round trip, minimum, 25 cents.

The mother quickly telephoned a local poysi cian. and wa5 told to administer a spoon loof ale hoi or whit ky without ce ay. Directions were hastily fol lowed aad as nothing further haB been heard of the case it is suppos ed - the lemedy was : successfully applied. The case is a reminder that dilute alcohol, or whisky, or brandy or kindred solutions in which there is a large oer cent, of alcohol, are, if properly applied, very effective antidota for poison ing by carbolic acid. As a- little bottle of the acid is nearly always ia ihe home the fact of what ia an actidote ought lo be remembered. Clarence Hyland is supposed to have parted with Corvallis for good. While he languished in the city bastile the other day, he pro posed to Chief Lane that if given his liberty he would leave the town and never return. It was a plan that commended itself to the chief. Hyland had a bad start here, reas oned the chief, aud in another place he might do far better. His going would simplify matters in Corval lis, somewhat, for during his so journ in the town, the painter ha been nothing but a source of dis satisfaction to himself and his friends. In the Bhadows of the jail the deal was made. Early Saturday, morning, the prisoner was taken out and giv en a good breakfast.
