TO OUR LEGISLATORS.
Now is the time and this is the oppor
tunity to break the Portland ring, which
has controlled in politics and opposed
tie best interests of Oregon for twenty
years. Yea, Portland itself, the home of
this ring, has been defrauded, through
Its methods, of her birthright The con
tinued monopoly on the Columbia river
route has driven the rich treasures of the
Inland Empire across the Cascades and
Washington has grown wealthy from the
trade that rightly belongs to our metrop
olis The prime mover in this body of
bobdlersis a corporation lawyer whose
sole interest lies in serving faithfully
Lub employ srs, who, being able to furnish
abundant funds, render him a formidable
opponent to the best interests of the peo
ple, and he has never failed to exercise
his power in that direction. The meth
ods which he uses are the basest ones
known to unscrupulous politicians, some
of them putting to shame those of the
great corruptionist, Boss Tweed, who
. went to the senitentiary for his crimes.
This is strong language, but can anyone
ay it is untrue? Will anyone attempt to
excuse him on account of the license in
the politics of this age? It is a fitting
answer to say that he has flagrantly
scandalized the very license put forward
as his apology. The methods by which
he defeated Judge Waldo for the supreme
bench should forever damn him in the
mind of every honest man. He now
wishes to send a member of his firm to
represent his employers in the U. S. sen
ate. Will you assist him in doing it?
The people are aroused as never before
to oppose Dolph & Simon.' There is not
hamlet within the state which does not
today stasd in rebellion against the pair.
We have suffered long, but this is the
first time we have stood in open rebellion
and turned at bay. The hisses which we
hear in the halls of the capitol when
Dolph's name is called is the faintest
echo of the hurricane of public indigna-:
tion which is sweeping the state. Oppo
sition to the Portland ring heretofore has
been but the ill-natured grumble of a
discontented bandit who was easily
ilenced by the superior generalship of
Simon. .This time the elements are
turned loose . and the very foundations
are being broken up. Ninety percent of
the republican newspapers in the state
are filling their columns with opposition
to Dolph. , There is no corporation, con
. epiracy,' concerted action, .. nor cash
behind this uprising. The people do not
want Dolph. They have repudiated him
in their hearts', and they will repudiate
you if you fasten him upon them. Let
the almost united yoice of the people
conjure you to listen to them. You are
supposed to be the friends of the people
and the servants of your constituents.
You are temporarily entrusted with a
power which belongs to them. Use it as
they direct and they will bless you.
Abuse it and they may justly despise you
forever.
When a body of men seek out one
business from the many and attempt to
say what the proprietor of such business
shall receive for the commodities he is
elling, they make a most unjust discrim-
Ination. Mr. Baker has introduced a bill
to regulate the price of printing. Adver
tising space of a newspaper is the goods,
ware3, and merchandise of its proprietor
Just the same as a stock of groceries,
boots and shoes, or general merchandise
is to a storekeeper. No one will for a
moment contend that the legislature has
power to regulate the selling price of the
latter commodities. Then, what right
has that body to say what compensation
the printer shall receive for his advertis
ing space? Besides the discriminating
feature of the bill it does not provide
adequate remuneration for the service
required. If the bill were amended,
however, so as to read "and for each
additional insertion five cents per line,"
there would probably not be such serious
objections to its passage. But if it is left
as it is the measure should suffer defeat.
The Oregonian thinks the men who
went into the caucus and then voted in
the house against the nominee ought not
to have gone into caucus. That is prob
ably true. Indeed, no caucus should
have been held this year. There was no
need of it The legislature is overwhelm
ingly republican and there was no prob
ability of any one but a republican being
elected. The senators and members of
the house are representatives and they
ought not to conceal their votes. Bach
vote should be open for the inspection of
constituents. In the caucus the vote was
a secret one except in a few instances
where. Mr, Dolph's managers were per
mitted to inspect the ballot just as it
dropped into vthe hat Hillsboro Inde
pendent
THE McKinley tariff brought no hard-
. ship to any workingman nor to anybody
else in the United States. There is not a
single class in the country today which
"does not feel the baneful effect of that
instrument of robbery known as the
Gorman bill.

date of the democratic party.
SENATORIAL SITUATION.
The election of Mr. Dolph seems now
impossible. Men who had the hardi
hood to oppose the Simon machine
power in bolting the caucus against the
powerful influences, which that machine
caused to bear against them, are of the
stuff of which men are made. They
who' antagonized Dolph in the face of
the probability of his election, will not
show the white feather now that they
know they can accomplish his defeat.
Should the Oregon legislature adjourn
without electing a senator, the blame
logically will be against the Dolph forces, i
The anti-Dolph element is not attempt
ing to dictate the nomination of any one
man. The cry of the Dolphites is
"Dolph or nobody." Their position is
undemocratic. There is no reason why
republicans can not unite upon some
man who will represent the state with
credit There is reason why the', peo
ple's representatives should oppose the
election of a man whom they believe to
be antagonistic to the people. It is bet
ter to be unrepresented than misrepre
sented. The perpetuity of the reoubli-
can party in Oregon is of far greater im
portance than the mere election of any
one particular man to the United States
senate. The existance of the party does
not depend upon the politicians who
aspire to be its leaders and shape its
course for their personal gains. These
men should be taught that they are not
the republican party.
Harmony in the party is advisable.
'Tis "sweet for brethren to agree" in pol
itics as well as religion, but this harmony
should not be obtained by the sacrifice of
principle and the surrender of the peo
ple to the bosses. The people must tri
umph and the people will triumph. We
have men in the Oregon legislature.
The Oregonian attempts to sneer at,
and throw discredit upon the purpose of
the men who are known as anti-Dolph,
by saying that "they are coquetish in
their voting," and "are not organized,"
both of which statements are true. They
have no candidate. They are not one
man men. They wi.ll support any able
Oregonian, who is a tried and true repub
lican. The Oregonian wages an ignoble war
fare upon the men who are voting against
Dolph, aud for the people. It threatens
them with political annihilation. With
peculiar irony, it accuses them of looking
for a candidate "with a bar'l" a curious
statement for a Dolph organ to make.
If that was the only requisite they ask-
j ed, not a man would havej left Dolph
Dolph. money was plentiful, considering
the financial stringency. Denny, a min
or Dolph manager, showed his devotion
to the cause by throwing two hundred
dollars over the Willamette hotel bar
after the republican caucus, and instruct
ing the barkeeper to serve free whiskey
to the crowd. The Oregonian transends
the depths of sound argument in trying
to recall Cole aiid Burke, of Multnomah
county, to the support of Dolph. It
calls them "stinkards." Such, fltghts of
oratory and such depths of reasoning are
beyond the ability of any anti-Dolph pa
per to successfully refute.
The work of the gentlemen who oppose
Dolph will only be half accomplished
should they allow Simon to dictate the
selection of the successful candidate,
There should be no dictation from any
source; certainly not from the machine
An opportunity is now before them to
break down the power of Simon and the
machine. It should not, and will not, be
lost The opposition is an intelligent
opposition; not blind stubbornness.

MS. COOPER'S TAX LAW.
Individuals should be taxed only on
their net worth. Tax on debt is double
taxation and double taxation is tincon
shtutional. Senator Carter's inorteasre
tax law will eradicate only a portion of
the present evil. It is class legislation
because it only permits the deduction of
indebtedness of record. The man who
gives chattel or personal security is
entitled to the same privileges and rights
of exemption as is the man who secures
his debts with real estate. The bill intro
duced by Representative Cooper has this
object in view and should receive favor
able consideration. After the usual pro
vision for assessment of real property,
the bill provides that it shall be the duty
of the assessor to deduct the amount of
indebtedness within the state, of any
person assessed, from the amount of his
or her taxable property, but no such
indebtedness shall in any case be deduct
ed unless it be real, bona fide indebted
ness, due from the person assessed
as principal debtor, and not on
account of any contingent liability, as
surety, endorser, or otherwise; and in
case two or more parties, as principal
debtors, are jointly or severally liable for
the payment of any such indebtedness,
neither of them shall be entitled to the
deduction of any greater portion of it
than the proportion each debtor bears to
the whole number of such debtors, to
the effect that only the amount of indebt
edness shall te deducted in favor of all
such debtors, nor shall a deduction be
made in favor of any person, assessed,
unless he or she delivers to the assessor
a written statement duly sworn to, speci
fying the name and place of residence of
the creditor, the nature of the debt, the
names of other parties, if any, who are
liable therefor, and which statement shall
show that the debt or portion thereof
sought to be deducted, has not been
deducted in any other county or place in
the state from the assessment of such
person for that year; and in case such
statement is found to be false to the
knowledge of the party who made it, or
that such party has willfully or recklessly
made a false statement in such a case for
the purpose of obtaining a deduction of
indebtedness, such party shall be deemed
' guilty of perjury, and shall - be liable to
' the pains and penalties therefor.
JUDGE HUFFORITS SALARY.
W. S. Hufford, our county judge, is at
Salem working for the " re-election of
.Dolph. - "The only business he ought to
have before the legislature is to ask that
his salary be reduced to six hundred" dol
lars. His time and services entitle him
to no more than that sum. The county
judges of the state met in convention at
Portland' and resolved in favor of econo
my as regards other county , officials.
The question of their own exorbitant sal
aries was not raised. They also favored
a reduction of witness and juror fees and
mileage m justice and county courts.
These resolutions cost Benton county
$14, that being the amount of the bill
allowed by the court for judge Hufford's
railroad fare and hotel bill while attend
ing said convention. It is not yet known
whether he will put in his bill to the
county for his expenses to Salem in the
interests of Dolph or not
Mr. Hufford was elected as a judge;
not as a legislator. Our representatives
do not need his personal assistance. He
is a remarkably ambitious man, with
some native shrewdness. But it is a lam
entable display of bad taste for one in
his official position to make such a public
profession of his zeal for a senatorial can-
didate towards whom the people who
elected him have widely diverging opin
ions, to say the least This is not a
clever way to secure advancement on
the bench. - Mr. Hufford, before the
election, announced himself in favor of
reducing the salary of the county judge
to six hundred dollars. Since then there
has been a careful and studiom silence
on his part upon that subject The peo
ple demand that. their representatives
take action in this matter.
The Gazette has noting against Mr.
Hufford personally. It is a republican
paper and as such assieted in the elec
tion of Mr. Hufford, who wa9 on the re
publican ticket last spring. But he is a
public official and his official acts are
subject to public criticism. He has no
right to attempt to influence the leiris-
lators by means of the power which
his judicial position might give him. A
public office should not be a public
"snap."
IT has been hinted that an effort would
be made during this session of the legis
lature to change Benton county from the
second to the third judicial district which
now includes Linn, Marion and Polk
counties. Such a change is really needed
to facilitate legislation. The second dis-.
trict is too large and scattered. It com
prises Lincoln, Benton, Lane, Douglas,
Coos and' Curry counties. Comprising
such a large territory necessitates a deal
of traveling and consequent loss of time
on the part of the judge, besides often
delaying litigation and causing attorneys
much unnecessary inconvenience. The
courts of the third district are now pre
sided over - by two competent jurists
Judges Burnett and Hewitt. By includ
ing Benton county in their jurisdiction
the. district will be made. more, compact
and as it should have been .originally
organized from a geographical stand
point Besides, it will relieve the judge
of the second district, who is now over
burdened -with duties, but will . not
increase the work of judges in the third
district to such an extent as to retard
litigation in the least Such a change
would meet the hearty endorsement of
every person interested.
The unjust, spiteful and cowardly at
tack of the Oregonian upon Lord and
Kincaid because they are not found
howling with the ring for Dolph, is meet
ing with the righteous condemnation it
deserves. All great men have their
weak spots and the great bull-dozing ed
itor of the northwest has shown his in this
unwarranted attack.

COOFSR CHANGED.
On goinjr to press, the following wire was
received: . - - -
Salmi, Jan. 31, 1895. Cooper changed
vote today, and Davis, of Umatilla, left
Dolph, so he has forty-two, as formerly.
The vote stood: Dolph 42, Hermann 10,
Hare 10, "Weatherford 8, Moore 1, Lord 6,
Lowell 4. Gatch 2, "Williams 6, Barclay 1;
absent, 2.
(This action of Mr. Cooper meets with
general disapprobation. Petitions have
been sent him showing that at least 4-5 of
the republican voters of Benton "county
were against Dolph and the Simon cabal.
These petitions were signed by his friends
and neighbors. How he can disregard their
wishes and advice at the behest of a few
wirepullers is indeed strange. By changing
back, his course will be approved; other
wise, he will be liable to severe censure.)
; DOINGS AT THE CAPITA!,.
. ; Salem, Jan. 27th, 1895,
The Corvallis Gazettk:
Oregon's ninety Solons have spent two
weeks of the eighteenth session, with the
record of accomplishing practically nothing
toward much needed legislation, beyond
organization, even'to the appointment "of a
f ull corps of committee clerks. The delay
id legislation can be easily traced to the sen
atorial contest, which absorbs the attention
of H members and the lobbyists. The sen
atonal situated is very serious, and it is very
doubtful whether any election can be had
for some time. The Dolph men are in line,
and say they will stand firm. Yet there are
several of them who say they will not per
mit an election of Dolph, even, by the assis
tance of a few populist or democratic votes,
which Dolph leaders are ondeavoring to win,
until an expression caa be obtained from
the people. . The anti- Dolph men are in
solid Hue, determined to win, though not at
liberty to name a maa until they have a
majority, when they will proceed to elect an
United States seuator to succeed Hon. J. N
Dolph, who will return to his law practice,
instead of being Oregon's misrepresentative,
Your correspondent has learned, with great
astonishment, the sentiments of the people,
expressed us they were by applause in the
house of representatives when anti-Dolph
statesmen spoke, or hisses whenj Dolphism
shouted "Caucus rini rale! Organized can-
ens must rule !"- It was simply impossible
for President Simon to control the enthusi
asm, even tnougn repeated threats wore
made to clear the house of all spectators.
On Friday when Hon. Thomas H. Cooper,
of Benton county, arose to his feet, and in a
firm, determined voice, announced his inten -tion
to abide no longer by King Caucus, bnt
to stand out for his constituents and the
dictates of his own conpcieDce, a loud cheer
for freedom and liberty echoed back we dare
say from the very core of the Willamette
Corvallis-r-a hearty approval. Mr. Cooper
is the first to assist in what we predict will
end in Dolph's timely defeat; and Benton
should bo proud of the man who hrst broke
the solid ' 44. when 45 could ' have elected
him on the first joint ballot.
In the senate, their calandar shows many
bills now inr the hands of the various com
mittees, where they are being' considered
but the house has read its first time only,
excepti'md lirSent bills, and which alone are
in the hands of the committees. . .......
Hon. H. L. Barkley, one of the men who
has the moral courage to tell Mr. Dolph to
return to his future home at Portland, has
been very '. appropriately dubbed the Henry
Clay of the house. . His remarks are bright,
crisp and effective. The two young populist
members, Jeffrey, of Jackson, and a former
O. A. C. student, and Burleigh, of Wallowa,
are energetic orators of the first dye, and
will stand by their principles from start to
finish.
In the lobby this afternoon we find the
Hon. W, S. Hufford, Ralph Davisson and
J, H. Wilson, all in battle array, sword
drawn, edges keen, after the scalp of Ben
ton's stalwart representative, Hon. T. H.
Cooper, but all their filibustering will not
outweigh the republican petitions brought
him by the same mail, and thwart the peo
ples' cause which Mr. Cooper has joined,
Cries of "Soodle!" "High bids for votes!"
are heard everywhere. Dolph and his cor
poration backers stand ready at any time, it
ia said, to pay any price required for a vote,
Let it be either a bond, money, democratic,
referendum populist, silvered, or other vote,
previous party record not questioned. One
vote has been, now four votes are, worth
100,000.
MONDAY MORNING'S FIRE
The first tire, attended with serious loss,
that has occurred in (Jorvallis fur many
mouths, broke out at 4:30 Monday morning,
in the grocery store of Pearse, Clark & Co.
Owing to the early hour, the tire was un
noticed until it had gained considerable
headway. Before the arrival of the fire de
partment, the flames had communicated to
the adjoining buildings. Notwithstanding
that the building! on the corner of the
block are all frame structures, only the one
occupied by Pearse, Clark & Co. was en
tirely consumed. ; The other buildings were
a vacant saloon on one side and the Palace
saloon, occupied by Ben Woldt, 00, the
other. During the last 15 years, this cor
ner has been three times visited by s de
structive fire. The premises ocenpied by
Pearse, Clark & Co. and Ben Woldt, were
owned by J. E. Sorbin, The Dalles, who
sustained a loss of about $1,500, with $850
insurance. Woldt lost $100 worth
of
stock, on which he had no insurance,
Pearse, Clark & Co.'s loss ou fixtures and
Btock will be $4000, 1 insured for $3,500.
The loss of Mr. Zeis will be $200; no in
surance. The official records of County
Treasurer Clark were in the safe of Pearse,
Clark & Co., which, on being opened
Monday afternoon, ahowed the books to
nave received no injury, ine nre is
supposed to have been of incendiary origin
and, bnt for the gallant work o the fire
men, under the cool and efficient direction
of Chief Whitehorn, the entire block would
probably have been consumed. During
the conflagration, Sam Case was severely
burned about the face and hands, from an
explosion of powder, and Solly , Smith's

KK. HASH'S CHORA I.
, By invitation of its members, a number
f Corvallis people listened to the rendition
of several choruses by the choral society,
under the direction of W. Gifford Nash, at
the old college chapel.laat Friday evening.
It proved the musical event of the year.- In
f sot, 00 this occasion was heard the best
chorus siugiog ever produced ia this city.
The work throughout, evidenced careful and
intelligent supervision, aud the rendition of
of the five selections was almost perfect,
The rythm ws well modulated and the at
tack in each chorus was especially noticeable
for its evenness and power. The only criti
cism to be mads of the work, was a slight
tendency to disregard the pianissimo pae-
