Bills will bo presented at the coming

Providing for a more equitable sys
tem of mine taxation.
Modification or repeal of the coyote
bounty law.
sentatlve J. H. Robblno expecte to press
several measures pertaining to mining at
the coming session of the Legislature.
"A general revision of the antiquated
incorporation laws trill be one of the first
things to receive my attention," said Mr.
Robblns. "I want to see the laws of the
state encourage Incorporation here, as in
New Jersey, West "Virginia and Arizona.
At the same time, a substantial tax should
be Imposed for the privileges granted,
but on a basis making the companies feel
that they are getting value received when
such tax is paid. This revision is especial
ly to apply to Incorporation of mining
companies, many of which Intended for
Oregon now get their charter In other
states.
"I shall work for a bill providing for a
mining inspector, who shall have general
supervision of timbering, ventilation and
other features of mining operations where
lives are jeopardized. The exact duties of
such an official are details I have not
yet outlined. Licensing of all engineers
handling machinery upon which the
safety or life of men depend, will be the
subject of another bill I shall Introduce.
Qualifications peculiar to mining will be
among the conditions Imposed by this bill.
This measure Is heartily sanctioned by
miners, Vwho often protest against the
facilities for raising and loworlng them
from deep shafts.
"Mine taxation may also receive my at
tention, as this subject has caused wide
discussion throughout this district. Several
of the great mining states are now agitat
ing Important changes In their tax Jaws
as regards mines, the Montana system of
taxing 2 per cent of the bullion output.
$5 per acre for surface area and im
provements according to the usual valu
ation of other Improvements, being the
most popular plan. I am collecting all
possible data regarding this subject, and
may Introduce a bill bearing on the same
after a thorough study has been made."
Olds, Wortman & King
SALEM, Or., Aug. 24. (Special.) Mar
lon County has nothing to ask at the
hands of the next Legislature, except
such things as are of equal Interest to
other sections of the state. The members
from this county, so far as can be learn
ed, have no pet schemes that they wish
to get through the Leglelature, but they
.will, as It rule, be free lances on the
floor of thelr respective houses, at liber
ty to support or oppose any measure that
comes up. As everybody knows, legisla
tion Js largely a matter of trades: the
man from one county gives hla support
to a certain measure in return for as
sistance In securing the passage of a bill
in which he himself Is interested. This
is the way pernicious legislation gets
on the statute books, and the man who
has no local or pet measure to care for
is relieved of the necessity for trading.
The Marlon County members ye pledged
to the support of but one proposed law,
that placing all state officers on flat
salaries. In all other matters they are
entirely free. Those members who have
been approached on the subjeet have al
ready been giving attention to the sub
ject of needed legislation and are form
ing their opinions as to what should be
done .on matters of state importance.
Frank Davey, a member of the lower
house, believes that the present tax law
is inequitable and should be amended. He
would abolish the 3 per cent discount
for early payment, for the reason that he
believes It an unjust advantage to the
capitalist, who can pay his taxes at any
time, while it is of little, if any, ad
vantage to the small property-holder,
who must pay his taxes when he can and
not when he would. The taxes for 1901
hecame due in the Spring of 1902, at a
time of the year when the people have
little money to spare Mr. Davey would
amend tho law so as to have the assess
ment roIT completed and the levy made In
the Fall of the year the assessment Is
made, so that taxes may bo payable about
the 1st of November, when the greater
number of people have money. Then he
would allow delinquents until the follow
ing Spring in which to pay and would
impose only such a penalty as would
make It an object for property-owners to
pay as promptly as possible. Under this
plan the taxes of 1901 would be payable
in 1901 and not in the succeeding year.
Senator E. M. Crolsan believes the flat
salary law should have early attention. He
thinks the salaries should be large
enough to attract competent men to the
offices, but should be provided in one
sum. He has given some attention to
the subject of electric lighting for the
state institutions, In view of the fact
that the state contract is about to expire,
and is of the opinion that It will be econ
omy for the state to manufacture lte own
electricity for the Asylum farm, the Mute
School and Reform School, ana perhaps
for the Asylum, Penitentiary, Blind
School and Capitol. He also believes the
3 per cent discount on taxes should be
abolished.
T. B. Kay, a. member of tho House of
Representatives, is also studying the flat
salary problem, but has not formed his
opinion of what the amounts should bo
with sufficient deflnlteness, so that he
would care to announce them for publl
cation. Ho would Include the State Print
er In the list of officers on flat salaries. If
possible, and If the Constitution prevents,
he would proceed to amend the constitu
tlon. In any event, he would take meas
urcs. by cutting off the amount of print
inc. to flecluce the expense for that pur
inose. As other matters of economy and
efficiency, he would have Insane patients
and convicts brought to Salem by an oin
ccr provided for that purpose, rathe
than by the several Sheriffs, and he
would abolish the bounties on coyotes. As
a matter of Justice to creditors, he would
make the salaries of state officers and
employes subject to garnishment the
same as the salaries of men working for
private individuals.
TO GIVE BAKER CIRCUIT JUDGE.
Senator Rand "Will Make a Special
Effort to Get Such a Bill Through.
RATCER CITY. Aug. 24. (Special.)
state- Senator John L. Rand, of this city
who will represent Baker, Malheur and
Harney Counties in the next session of
tht TPirlslature. when asked to outline
snmft of the measures he proposes to In
troduce. said he had been so busy since
the election that ho had not had time to
think about what he was going t
when he croes to Salem this "Winter.
"In the first place." said Mr. Rand, "you
can eav that while I am in the Senate
I will to the best of my ability look out
for the Interest of Eastern Oregon and the
district I represent. I do not mean to
eav that I will have no regard for other
sections of the state, but I am going to
do -11 the good I can for Eastern Oregon.
.a regard to the bills that I intend to
introduce, I can't think of but one meas
ure Just now that I have fully made up
my mind to try and have enacted into
a law, and that is a bill to make a sep
arate judicial district of Baker County,
with a resident Circuit Judge and District
Attorney. It is almost the unanimous
opinion of the members of the bar that
the present judicial district, composed of
"Union. "Wallowa and Baker Counties, is
too large.
"There are several matters which I
will favor, among which I might mention
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, for
which I favor a liberal appropriation,
a. thorough revision of the tax laws, the
repeal or the modification of the coyote
bounty law, and a state inspector of
mines. I believe the growing Importance
of our mining Industry demands special
attention.
"I have long been of the opinion that
the constitution of the state should be
revised, or, better still, a new constitu
tion adopted by the people. If such a
measure is Introduced I shall favor It."
GENERAL RADALL ROME.
Returns Prom Inspection of Alaska
Army Posts.
SEATTLE, Aug. 24 General G. M. Ran
dall, commanding the Department of the
Columbia, reached Seattle on the steamer
City of Seattle this morning. The boat
reached the dock Just in time for the Gen
eral to catch the early morning Portland
train and he left for Vancouver Barracks
at once, where he will be for nearly a
week.
Captain "W. P. Richardson, aid to the
General, came down on the same boat
with General Randall, but remained In
this city for a few hours, leaving to re
join his chief on the night train. He
eclares that business of a personal na
ture caused his stop-over and that all
Army matters would be attended to at
the barracks.
General Randall, accompanied by Cap
tain Richardson, sailed for the North
July 8, and during the past month and a
half have made personal inspections of
nearly all the Army posts In Alaska, and
have Investigated the needs of the mili
tary forces In that section. The trip in
cluded an inspection of the new telegraph
lines which will connect Dawson, Nome
and other Northern points with the United
States. This work Is being pushed toward
completion and a large portion will be
completed this year. In speaking of the
trip Captain Richardson said:
"The General made a tour of inspec
tion to the posts in Alaska and found
them In very good shape. Some more
fixings are needed at several of the bar
racks and he will undoubtedly make
recommendations along these lines to the
department. The telegraph lines are be
ing built as fast as possible and it will
not be many months before the commu
nication in the frozen North will be as
simple a matter as In this state. There
are but few matters connected with the
trip on which it would be proper for me
to speak. As to what recommendations
General Randall will make regarding
changes in the Alaskan district I have
nothing to say."

ROCK ISLAND MOVEMENTS
Joint Trncfcngre Wltb. Burlington and
the Union Pacific.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug:. 24. The Star
Quotes C. A. Goodnow, general manager
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad, as authorizing the following
statements:
"The offices of the Kansas Clty-SL
Louis line of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad will be located In Kan
sas City. The line is to be in operation
within a year.
"The Rock Island will" continue .the use
of the Burlington tracks between Kan

Hannibal bridge and will continue the
Joint use of the Union Pacific tracks be

will be a double track built, however, be

!fo Signs ot Settlement.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 21. Reports
received at brigade headquarters today
showed the entire anthracite coal field to
be very quiet. General Gobln eaid today
that settlement of the strike appears to
him to be as far off as when he arrived
here nearly four -weeks ago. The troops
will In all probability remain here until
the strike comes to an end.
to furnish a ?50(X bond. and. this responsi
bility is placed upon hlnv'without giving
him any voice In the seleptlon of under
officers and guards. Such being the situa
Uon, I have not been Inclined to foist upon
the Warden appointments not agreeable to
him.
"The law should be amended so as to
make the Superintendent responsible. Ko
has the appointing power. He should have
a corps of officers thoroughly in harmony
with his policy. Then vigorous, progres
sive and successful endeavor Is possible."
Superintendent Lee Is manifestly right
on this point. The officer who bears the
responsibility should have the appointing
power, and the man who does the ap
pointing should bear the responsibility.
The Superintendent Is the head of the in
stitution, and should be responsible for
the carelessness or Incompetency of any
man under him. In law he has the power
to remove a subordinate at any time. In
practice he has not. The subordinates do
not owe their positions to the Superintend
ent, but rather to the Governor, and in
this respect they are upon a level with tho
Superintendent. In an institution where
discipline is tho primary consideration
there should be one source of power and
authority, and all within its reach should
be subordinate to that authority.
Is There Harmony Among: Officials!
When his attention was called to the
subject of the general belief that harmony
has not prevailed at the Penitentiary in
the last 12 months, and that the Warden
rather than the Superintendent has been
the real head of the institution, Mr. Lee
declined to discuss the matter. It is evl
dent, however, from his remarks upon
other subjects, as quoted above, that his
Ideas regarding appointments did not co
incide with those of the Warden, and that
he found It advisable to yield to the
Warden. This Is proceeding upon the as
sumption that the Superintendent and 1
Warden were consulted by tho Governor
before the selections were made. It may
also be Inferred from the language used
that perhaps the Superintendent has not
always had a corps of officers thoroughly
in harmony with his policy. The asser
tion, so often heard, that the Warden has
been the real head of the Institution
doubtless had Its origin in the fact that
Warden Janes Is a brother-in-law of Gov
ernor Geer. If the assertion be true, tho
condition that exists is an unfortunate one,
for such a state of affairs would be very
injurious to the discipline of the Institu
tion. Respect for authority dwindles rap
idly when that authority shows weakness.
It Is easy to assume that because the
Warden is closely related to the Governor,
the latter will listen tho more quickly to
the former's -wishes, and that the Super
intendent will yield the more readily to
the Warden's opinions. Upon this general
subject Governor Geer says:
Governor Defends Appointments.
"Nothing could be more unfounded than
the assertion that the Warden has at any
time encroached upon the prerogatives of
the Superintendent and that Mr. Lee has
been in any sense kept In the background
by roe. Such gossip is simply the work of
meddlesome busybodies. Even If It were
true. It could be" of no interest to the pub
lic, unless It had resulted in something
detrimental to the prison, which cannot be
said, since the general management of the
prisoners and the direction of its business
affairs will compare favorably with any
former administration or with any other
prison.
"The present Warden was appointed
solely because he had been connected with
the prison continuously, save only two or
three years, since 1SSS. He had served un
der four Superintendents, and, although
always a Republican, served fully four
years under Superintendent Downing.
With one or two exceptions he had been
longer In the service than any other man
connected, with the prison, which fully
qualified him for his work, and he was
appointed In obedience to the rule that
promotions should follow efficient service
in rubllc affairs.
"Mr. Lee was appointed because he was
a business man of long experience, of
unquestioned integrity, well known the
state over, and In the belief that he -would
make a good Superintendent. This belief
has been fully justified. He and I have
never had a single difference that I now
recall as to his duties, and scarcely one
day has passed during his term when we
have not consulted each other as to the
affairs of his office. The assertion that I
have, upheld the Warden as against the
Superintendent In any sort of contention
between them is the veriest bosh. So far
as I know, there has never been any vari
ance between them' of sufficient Import
ance to moke tho slightest difference to
tho welfare of the Institution or to any
taxpayer of tho state, -whether It was de
cided one way or another, although not
at any time has there been a dearth of
outsiders who have been pregnant with
advice and criticism concerning a great
many things as a result of which it Is
sometimes more difficult to manage the
employes of an lnstltuiton than it Ib the
inmates of It."
IIotv Gilbert Organized Prison.
It Is said that when Gilbert took charge
of the Penitentiary at tho beginning of
the Lord administration he left no doubt
in tho minds of his subordinates as to tho
source of the authority that governed the
institution. Before tho new officers as
sumed their duties they were informed
that they had been appointed by him, and
would receive their Instructions from him.
He told them that they could communi
cate with the Governor regarding prison
affairs at any time, but that they must
communicate through the Superintendent.
He gave notice that the first man who
went direct to the Governor with any mat
ter pertaining to prison management or
prison affairs would be discharged Imme
diately. He also laid down the rule that
no prisoner should communicate with the
Superintendent except through the War
den. This latter rule was strictly en
forced, even though Mr. Gilbert had In his
custody a former associate In the Legisla
ture. Appointment of Relatives Dreeds
Trouble.
place of some of the men who were there
might have saved the state tho expense
and discredit which resulted from tho es
cape of Tracy and Merrill.
Manifestly the man for the supervision
of a penal Institution Is one who has
had experience wltb criminals and who has
shown himself a successful manager of
business affairs. Nevertheless, appoint
ments are likely to be made In the future
as they have often been made In the past.

tution. At the same time, such relation
ship should not bar an efficient officer from
promotion, unless by reason of that rela
tionship he becomes the cause of petty
jealousies and dissensions.
The suggestion has been frequently made
of late that the Penitentiary should be
placed under the general supervision of a
state board composed of the Governor,
Secretary of State and State Treasurer, in
stead of leaving Its government to one
perron. Alt the other state Institutions are
governed by boards but the Penitentiary
has always been under the charge of the
Govornor, for the reason, probably, .that he
is the chief executive ofilcer of the state.
There Is no reason to believe that politics
would figure any less In the appointments
If a board made the selections, or that
relatives of officials would receive any less
consideration. It has long been the rule,
even In Institutions where a board has the
appointing power, to distribute the places
.among the political workers who were on
the winning side. Applicants for positions
base their claims more upon their services
to the officials than upon their peculiar
fitness for the places. While not disre
garding the question of qualification, the
appointments arc generally made so as to
reward the faithful. The tendency seems
to be more and more toward the reten
tion of subordinate employes who have
proven themselves efficient, even though
they belong to a different party or faction
from that with which the members of the
board are Identified.

Fitness for a position such as that of
guard -at the Penitentiary Is not an easy
matter to determine. The crack target
shooter may lose his head and do the
wrong thing at the moment when quick
and decisive action is needed. A man who
has spent years chasing criminals may fail
to capture one after weeks of effort and
then the desperado will be caught by a
farmer, doctor or lawyer. At the same
time, the probabilities are In favor of the
man who has had experience with crim
inals. Proficiency with a rifle which ena
bles a man to bring down a rabbit on the
run is more to be considered In choosing
a guard than the fact that a man has
been a good political fighter or that he is
poor and has a mortgage on his farm.. A
boy who distinguished himself on the field
of Malabon -will command moro respect as
a custodian of convicts than will a boy
whose claim for recognition Is that his
father is a heavy taxpayer. A few Second

At first a high cough, all
in your throat. You neglected
it. Now it is down deep in
the chest. That means a
low cough, a lung cough,
bronchitis. Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral controls the inflam
mation, heals the torn mem
branes. Talk this over with
your doctor.
" Only half a bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral cured me of a dreadful cough
which had lasted for over four years."
