FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 1885
rOUMMlLACK.
The governor's message is remarkable
for only one thing, that of being prob
ably the luOst ordinary one that ever
Donated f torn the Executive Office of
the State. There is no vigor of expres
sion in the recommendations exeept in
oa i instance. It contains much glori
fication of the present state administra
tion because of the reduction of the
bonded indebtedness of the state, but
when we consider that all the state
officials Lai to do iu thus reducing this
indebtedness was to set in their cozy
offices in the capitol and receive and
receipt for tho bard earnings of the
people eolifcted from them in the
shape of taxes, and then pay out this
meney to those who held the bonded
obligations of the state, we are uiuopb
istioated enough tobetieve,and constrain
ed to s iy, that very little credit is due
where it is so loudly claimed in this state
paper. The truth is that all, or nearly
all, the credit for paying off the obtiga
tions of the state is due to the tax
payers, the sovereigns of the soil, who
consent to be taxed of the fruit of their
earnings to raise a fund to meet these
obligations. His treatment of the
svarup land question will not satisfy
those who have been looking tor better
things. Upon the great vital question
which no has such deep hold upon
the minds of the people of the state,
that of assessment and taxation, the
governor's recommendations, are so
general and indeSaite as to render
them of no value to the legislature.
Nevertheless re hope the legislature
will take up this subject and give
such" legislation as wilt secure a jnst
and equal taxation if all the property of
the state, dealing fairly with every
n tares; and every section of the state.
TO0IX re M MITT 1 1
The Linn County members have
places on the following committies:
Mr. Weatherford is a member of
the Judiciary and public lands com
mitties.
Mr. Bilyeu is on the committie on
corporations, and railroads and enrolled
bills.
Mr. H jult is a member of the com
mittee on counties and federal relations.
The democrats have a majority of the
following committee:
J udiciary, Claims, Federal Relations,
and Printing. The republicans have a
majority of 4 in the senate. In the
House. Linn county members are given
places as follows:
Mr. Montanye is on the following
conmit:e Elections and Judiciary
Mr Black is on the Ways and Means
and Assessment and Taxation.
Mr. Watts is on engrossed Bills.
Mr. S ael ton is on Federal Relations.
Mr. Cyrus is on Railays and Trans
portion. For Eome reason we know not what,
the speaker bas seen fit to leave Hon.
J. H. Peery of this ceunty without a
place on any committee. This is not
only unjust to Mr. Peery, but an af
front to the people or Linn County.
We .hope it was not intentional ou the
part of M -. Keady,as it was Mr. Peery's
vote that cinied Mr. K;ady to the
Speakers chair.
Now, isa'c that a pretty ''mess"
which Clirkson, of the national repub
lican committee bas cooked up in the
fight upon S Jjho on the charge of
having sold out to the democrats in
the late presidential campaign?
Charges cf buying and selli ng are
made in the coolest manner possible.
And all thi?, by those goody goody
people who have been too pure and
immaculate even to associate with
wicked democrats. We do hope tbi
will be kept up until the whole inward
ness of the late republican campaign
will be brought to the public gate.
It will show a condition of corruption
and wickedness that will appall even
an ordinary republican politician.
When the governor reoomenda to the
legislature the necessity of constructing
a sewer to connect the asylum grounds
with the main sewers of the city of
Salem, it would be proper also to inform
that body that the state bas already
invested two or three thousand dollars
in constructing those main sewers in
Salem, twelve or fourteen hundred
dolUrs of which was paid out of the
name asylum building fund without
authoiity of law.
We think Governor Moody gives a
very Inrae' and unsatisfactory excuse
f.r the delay in taking the insane in
charge by the state. It does not sat
isfy those who have an interest in know
ing how public affairs are being con
ducted.
Some of the editors of Portland papers
write letters favororing the repal of the
mortgage tax law and then bead it
"Linn County' and sign it 'Granger."
This is so thiu that an ordinary Oiegon
winter's sun would shine through it.
We are under obligations to Senator
Houit for a copy of the governor's
messago, aud algo copy of the Sena
tor's bill calling a constitutional con
vention. Both houses of the legislattue by
vote, refused to allow J. W. Watts to
address them on the prohibitory amend
ment last week.
THE WVUm S M EAS.it) E-
The Governor congratulates the peo
ple npon the auspicious circumstances
under which the legislature meets. The
receipts for tho period beginning Sept.
1, 1382, and ending Dac. 31, 1884, are
as follows :
Four mill tsx of 188.. . .$255,374.43

Making a tota, of $632,693.88
Adding to this amount the sum of
$122,608.36, which stood in the treas
ury August 31, 1882, to the credit of
the general fundi wo have the sum of
$775,302.24 against which is to be
onargod tho amount of the geueral ap
propriation made by the last Legisla
tive Assembly, which leaves a balance
to the credit of the general fund at the
eud of tho fiscal year just closed of
about $300,000.
The bonded indobteJness of tho state
has been largely reduced. The funds
arising frra the sale of lands granted
te the state by congress for educational
purposes have been carefully loaned by
tho board of school land commissioners
and tho several amounts are as follows :
University fund principal, $78,000 ;
Agricultural Coltege fund principal,
$77,000 ; Common school fund princi
pal, $980,000.
Of the different cissies of lands be
longing to the State there has been sold
since Sept. 1, 1883, as follows:
Acres.
University lands 2,2 1 8.26
Agricultural College lands. . 4,559.69
Common School 122,646.17
Internal improvements.... 32,743.13
The revenue from the sale of lands
belonging to the 500,000 acres granted
to the State by the general Government
for the purposes of internal improve
ments, bas been, since the act of 1870,
granting aid for the construction of the
canal and lecks at Oregon City .devoted
to the payment of the principal and in
terest upon the bonds for $200,000 is
sued in aid of that work. These bonds
have been paid in full, principal and
interest, an 1 ths revenue hereafter
arising from the ssle of these lands will
be devoted to the np tort of the com
mon schools of the S.ace.
fhs progress mad j it securing title
to the swamp lands of the State is un
satisfactory, but the delay and uncer
tainty about Ui whole matter are at
tributed to the neglect or refusal of the
Comr. of the general land office to pass
npon the proof of the swampy charact
er of such lands as have in times past
been selected by the State. The whole
matter of selection and approval of
swamp lands, together with sales there
of by the State, is in mush confusion.
Many settlers are filing upon these
lands under the homestead and preemp
tion laws of the United States snd thus
much litigition is entailed.
INSANE.
The Governor recommeads that a
water main to connect with the peni-
tentiary pum;s be constructed to furn
ish water for the asylum. He al
so recommends tin', the ayium
grounds should be drained by a sewer
connecting the groends with the main
sewers of the city. The cost of earing
for the insane has Iron reduced to $3
per week, a reduction of $2 per week
on the coat under the old contract sys
tem. PENITENTIARY.
Under an act of the legislative as
sembly passed in 1882, all the convicts
since said time have been leased to
Goldsmith & Lowenburg of Portland,
at 40 cents per day. In order to make
this contract available, it devolved
upon the State to erect buildings suita
ble for shops. Without some such step
the utilization of the convict labor was
impossible. For the erection of shops
the sum of $2000 was appropriated at
your last session. After the adjourn
ment of the Legislature it was found
thai the appropriation was entirely in
adequate to meet the requirements.
Additional shops have since been erec
ted to meet what appeared to be an
absolute necessity. A. detailed state
ment of this matter will be found in
the report of the Superintendent. Ow
ing to the crowded condition of the
penitentiary the Governor since the
adjournment of the last legislature saw
that one of three things must be done :
The incurring of an indebtedness for
additional accommodations ; the pardon
and discharge of an unwarranted num
ber of the inmates of the prison ; or the
convening of the legislature in extra
session to provide measures of relief.
Deeming it the only prudent and eco
nomical course, it was resolved to pro
vide additional cells, and trubt to the
legislature at its present session for the
means to meet the expenditure thus
incurred. Forty-four additional cells
and three dungeons were thus provided
for, and yet, notwithstanding these ad
ditional accommodations, the prison is
so crowded as to interfere with the
discipline, as well as the comfort and
health of the inmates. I respectfully
urge upon yeur attention the sugges
tions of the late Superintendent Strat
ton, in regard to this matter, and cor
dially approve of his recommendations,
that a wing be added to the prison on
the east side, and that a brick stockade
be erected upon the grounds.
BEFOBM SCHOOL.
One of the most important matters
to be considered by you is the provision
of some place f r tin c&re aa 1 j roper
education of youthful criminals, many
of whom have never had, or have been
deprived of, the comforts of a horae.and
for want of restraining influences have
begun a career of crime. There are
numbers of the young in almost every
community vi sually hopeless and homo-
less, dsnled many of the meet ordinary
comforts of life, who are rapidly being
schooled in vice and who oan only be
saved from a career of crime and shame
by some sot upon the part of the State
looking to their reclamation. Forty
four boys under the age of 20 years
have been sent to the Penitentiary
during the last two years. One of
these is but 1 3 years of age, and twenty-five
of them are under the age of
17. Onoe there, they are compelled to
consort with the most dopraved crimi
nals. The influences are noceasatily
bad, and they are likely to leave the
prisou at the expiration of their terms
of sentence not improved, but rather
hardened and more depraved. The
strong arm of the State should be ex
tended for the salvation and protection
of this class. Suitable provision for
their education and elevation, is, in
my opinion, imperatively demanded.
CONCEALED WEAPONS.
A prolific source of crime Is the too
common habit of carrying concealed
weapons. The presence of a weapon
in ease of a personal encounter always
presents a strong temptation for its vse,
and suoh use in the heat of passion has
corns to be too lightly regarded. Any
thing is to be commended which will
tend to repress and restrain this too
prevalent habit. If the mere carrying
of a concealed weapon were, in public
estimation, branded as oriminal, fewer
instances of justifiable homicide would
be reported from our Courts. A strin
gent law upon this matter is recorn
mended.
FUBL1C IjrSTBl'CTlOK.
His excellenov recommends that
eome measures be adopted by which
the rural communities may more gener
ally enjoy the benefits of our common
school system. As compared with our
more populous district they work at a
constant disadvantage and are denied
their proper share ot tbe proceed of
the school tax. Tbe movable property,
for instance, of all our transportation
eompaniee is taxed at tie home office
of such companies, while the entire
county traversed by their rolling ftock
contributes to their support and assists
in swelling tbeir revenue. Sjme more
equitable plan should be adopted where
by the school tax levied upon such rol
ling stock and other corporate propetty
might be in r eaiufoctoril apportion
ed. aaesseafEa'T.
Racommeodi sucb legislation as
will provide for on equitable dlstrib
atatloo of the burdens of government
among all holders of property sub
ject to taxation.
EEOISTEY LAWS.
Your attention will doubtless be
called to the necessity of a registry
taw. The Importance of some legiv
lation of this klod has long been felt
Any measure calculated to prevent an
abuse of the elective franchise and
to secure complete fairness and hon
esty In the com'uet of our elections
should receive tbe encouragement
and support of overy patriotic citizen.
Every safeguard possible should be
thrown about the ballot box, so that
every citizen may feel, in casting his
vote, that It has been cast to sme
purpose, and will extrt It proper
influence. Nothing is of more Im
portance to a free commonwealth, to
insure its integrity and permanence,
than good election laws and a wise
and efficient regulation of the elective
franchise.
ATTOTNXT C. EN ERA!..
The governor urges the creation of
the office of attorney general for the
state. The stale Is constantly In need
of legal counsel and has to employ
such as it may be able to find who
will enter the service of the state
temporarily.
His excellency recommends that
an apportionment of the membership
of the legislature be made In pursu
ance of the requlreraeots of the stato
constitution. No apportionment has
been made since 1872, since which
time (he relative population of the
several counties has materialy chang
ed.
Under the present apportionment,
certain counties have the sime rep
resentation in th Senate upon a
basis of less man 000 votes cast that
other counties have upon a basis of
between 3000 to 4000 votes cast. A
similar disparity exists In the House
of Representatives. The Injustice of
continuing an apportionment which
deprives a large proportion of the
people of the State Just representation
in the halls of legislation i8 so plain as
to require no comment.
A convention to revise or form a
new constitution for the sUte is rec
ommended. Would it not be well for the legis
latlve committee appointed to Inquire
into the management of the Oregon
State Penitentiary to investigate the
alleged discharging of guards last
fall for voting for Cleveland? We
hope the Statesman in the interest of
civil service reform will lend its In.
fiuence in this matter.
We hope the members of this county
in the legislature will diligently inquire
into the merits of House bill number
58 before voting for it.

We speak the words of truth and
soberness when we say that no party
ever belied its professions of devotion
and loyalty to a principle as do tbe
leaders of ths repnblioan party, in
making suoh continued and unrelenting
war upon HK John. The party that
professes to have been born aud reared
'n the cradle of human liberty, that
bas hung with leyal tenacity to the
rights of free speech, freedom of tbe
press, and freedom of political action ,
i a a
that will now make such vicious war
upon St. John for simply exercising
those rights for the protection and
perputuation of which tbe party was
organized, fotfeitsal) claim to being a
party of freedom, or free political
aotion. We did net help nominate St.
John, neither did we support him, but
we believe in fair dealing. We believe
tbe democrats have greater reason for
ostracising and abusing Ben Butler
than republicans have for abusing and
ostracising St. John. Why do not
republicans make the same bitter, ven
omous war upon the "mugwumps'' for
defeating Blaine that they do upon the
followers of St. John? Did cot these
"mugwumps" openly deolare their
purpose to defeat Blaine at all hazards?
And did they not, in order to more
certainly accomplish their purpose, call
a convention of their leaders and
endorse Cleveland? Were there not
two "mugwumps" to one prohibitionist
among the republicans of New York
Would not Blaine have carried tbe
state of New York, if all these "mug.
wumpe" had voted for bim notwith
standing the ropnblicaL defection of St.
John?
We have no hesitation in saying that
the course of republican leaders in this
matter, without protest from tbe rank
eud file of tba party, stamps it as the
most illiberal and un-American of any
party that bas existed sinew the organ
ization of tbe government.

It is to be hoped that the county
officials of Mulbnomah county will
keep a close watch npon the conduct
of one II. W. Scott, who appears to
have become unbalanced over the

At times this gentleman seems to be
laboring under tbe hallucination that

demoniac leader of the "lost cam."
At sucb times be frets, foams, whines
