Weekly Corvallis Gazette.
FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 20, 1885.
Hoult's bill for a constitutional con
vention was rejected on the 1 7th inst.
The W. C. T. bill, making teaching
of the effect of liquor and tobacco a
part of the public school course aw jits
the signature of the Governor to be
come a law.
A dozen bills have been introduced
into the Kansas Legislature, says an
eastern exchange, proposing to change
the narca of the county now called St.
John, since lie, the prohibitory candi
date, made himself so obnoxious to
Kansas people.
What president elect Cleveland will
lo is interesting the democrats more
than the republicans just at present.
They fear h does not believe that "if
a change of party means anything it
means a change in the servants of the
people," but that in some cases he will
retain faithful officials.
We have received from Hon. E. B.
McElroy, State superintendent of pub
lic instruction, Rules of the Senate and
Standing Committees, Reports of the
President of the Board of Regents of
the Oregon State University, and the
Biennial Report of the President of
the Oregon State Agricultural College.
The Oregun legislature will adjourn
to-night at twelve o'clock. At this
writing the election of a Senator is
very undecided, It is not probable,
however, that adjournment will take
place without an election. The ballot
on Tuesday is as follows: Hirsch, 29;
Boise, 15; E. B. Watson, 2; Fullerton,
I; Bellinger, 27; George, 13; Absent,
2; Carson, 1. Wednesday Hirsch
gained one vote, that of Connor of this
county, making his total vote 30.
The Minnesota Legislature is now
discussing a bill on the liquor question
which has the merit of novelty about
it, at least. It provides for licensing
the drinker, instead of the seller, by
declaring that permits to purchase anil
drink liquors in the licensed saloons
shall be sold at $5 each to persons who
may prove to the satisfaction of mu
nicipal authorities they are only mod
erate ili inkers, and that no sales shall
be made to residents who do not have
such permits; violations of this law by
saloon-keepers to be punished by heavy
fines.
The following complimentary notice
of Speaker Keady we take from the
the Portland News. Mr. Keady is
filling the position of Speaker with so
much credid to himself and the body
he represents, for the reason partly
that he was a representative of "the
art preservative" at one time "Speak
er Keady, as a presiding officer is i
success. His rulings are uniformly
fair, courteous, and quickly made. He
seems to have the respect, and is paid
the deference of everybody. It is not
often that newspaper men excel in
speech-making, and in the execution of
parliamentary rules. Their time is
taken up with anotlier line of thought.
They act without talking. Mr. Keady
does both."
At the last meeting of the city coun
cil there was introduced another or
dinance in the interest of officers lees
and to promote litigation, the workings
of which, if the Officers are sufficiently
industrious, the fees will amount to a
pretty good monthly salary. This
ordinance provides that the marshal
serve either a written or printed
notice on parties whose side walks are
out of repair and if parties thus served
fail to repair side walks within ten
daye after the notice is personally
served on them, they shall be arrested
and brought before the recorder . and
subjected to a fine and still the side
walk will not be fix3d. The ordinance
can enly apply to those living in the
city and those who live out side of the
city and have property within the
city the ordinance cannot reach. The
officer gets fifty cents fer serving each
notice and if he is active he can serve
fifty a day. The city has not got legis
lation eneugh in the interests of
officers' fees and litigation. There is
barely enough taxes collected to pay
the officers fees and for litigation, and
yet there are some councilmen who
deem it their absolute duty to legislate
everything in favor of officers fees and
litigation when the tax payers are to
receive no good whatever. Will we
ever have a change?
WHY OUR CITY MARSHAL SHOTJLE HAVE
A SALARY.
Some ef the best reasons why oar
city marshal should have a good liberal
salary for his work instead of a fee
bill is that if the city pays her marshal
a good fair salary she can expect of
him and require him to turn his entire
time and attention to the interests and
work of the city, and by passing prop
er ordinance the city can require of
him a faithful application of his whole
timb in looking after the interests of,
and working for the city. Tn connec
tion with this, the city could have a
proper ordinance establishing a proper
ly organized police force so that the
coui'cil or mayor might appoint from
time to time whatever policeman might
be thought necessary for the preserva
tion of the peace and igood order of
the city, they could aet as day or
night watches on a monthly salary as
at present, and making it their duty
to arrest all persons found violating
city ordinances. On this plan no fees
would be allowed to any marshal or
policeman but all would be required
to perform their duty foi their month
ly salaries, as they are required to do
in Portland and all other towns of any
consequence, who have foreseen the
benefits of doing away with the per-
nicions fee system. A system which
will bankrupt any town in the world.
Under the old system our marshal,
though a good active one, if he had a
good liberal salary he could make a
still better officer. As it now stands
with him he gets fees for what he does,
and nothing whatever for the time
whick he spends going around the
city hour after hour looking after the
necessities and requirements of the
city. For several days or weeks he
may find plenty of violators of the
law to arrest, and for a time may make
big pay for his time, and then again a
seeming lull and quiet may come on
when he thinks from all prospects that
there may be a quiet time for several
days, with no seeming prospects for an
opportunity to make any arrests and
as his time belongs entirely to himself
and the city has no control over his
time, except he is required not- to be
absent Irora the city beyond a certain
number of days, and as he cannot
make money for his time outside of his
marshal's duties, unless he arrests some
violator or performs some other duty
for the city which entitles him to a fee,
he takes it upon himself to go out of
town to Portland, to the coast or some
other place where he can make some
money by attending to other duties
outside of his city marshalship. In
this way it will be readily seen that
when such condition of affairs happens
our city is without her marshal for
several days, as it often happens and
sometimes when he is most needed.
Besides another pernicious effect of the
fee system is that under the present
condition of affairs it not only extends
to the marshal but to all the deputy
marshals and nightwatches in the
town. JJy the time the marshal makes
a reasonable yearly income out of it
and the nightwatches and deputies
make from twenty-five to forty dollars
each out of it the whole amounts up
to a large sum of money to be paid for
such services. On the other hand the
marshal, by being paid a stated salary,
the city could require his whole time
and require him to be in the city at
all times and the nightwatches and
deputy marshals who all get more or
less fees now could be required to do
all necessary marshal's duty for the
monthly salaries which they now
receive. And so by fixing the amount
of fines in the different cases so that
the recorder should fine not less than
ten or twelve dollars ana this to go
into the city treasury instead of
thirteen dollars as now of fine and fees
the city would be largely the gainer
financially, and the city co uld have a
marshal in attendance on duty within
the city at all times, besides the foun
dation of a police force would be laid
so as it might be increased when neces
sary. Under the present system there
is no assurance of marshal, policeman,
or anything ehe, except certain bank
ruptcy. Six First Premiums for Oregon.
One of the commissioners for Oregon at
New Orleans in a letter to a friend in Foit
land says: "The judges have made a report
upon our fruit, and I for one feel proud of
the result. We had only twelve entries
and three of this number were ruled oet
because they were misnamed. This left us
but nine entries for competition, and out of
this number we carry off six first premiums,
as follows: Best collection of five varieties,
grown in an adapted to the coast climate,
silver medal and 925; beat collection of fire
varieties grown in and adapted to mountain
climate, silver medal and $25; best plate of
Baldwins, $5; beat plate of Blue Pearmains,
$5; best plate of Atbley, 85. "
