CORV ALUS, OREGON, FEB. 7, 1895.
WHO REPRESENTS BENTON?
The Corvallis Gazette has been tfce
disseminator of republican principles -for
more than a quarter of . a century, and
has never failed, during its whole career,
to greet its readers weekly. It claims
no special monopoly in its field of work,
and to say that the Gazette has made
no mistakes during its past, would be
equivalent to claiming much more than
the facts might warrant, but this we do
earnestly claim, that it has at all times
been a faithful exponent of republican
doctrines;, and for the reason, that we
believed that the general good and pros
perity of the country would be advanced
thereby.
Its course has been consistent in that it
has always been an advocate of the elec
tion of the republican nominees, county,
state and national; and in turn, we be
lieve it to be the duty of those nominees
when elected to faithfully represent those
who elected them. It is the absolute un
qualified duty of a county representative
to representhis constituency; to do other
wise is misrepresentation. If a man is
elected on J the republican legislative
ticket, in party matters the will of repub
lican constituents' is, and should be, a
rule of action unto him. At . this time
our whole representation is cf our own
faith politically, and our legistators are
expected to elect, or at least, assist in
electing an U. S. senator agreeable to the
republicans of Benton.
Certain of our legislators have as we
'verily believe absolutely ignored the ex
pressed, will of at least 90 per cent of all
the -republicans of this county. The
edict of King Caucus, presided over by
. Joseph Simon, has been followed since
the 22nd day ofJannary, instead of the
will of Benton county republicans. We
notify ourlegislators formally that there
is not to exceed ten per cent of Benton
county republicans who desire the re
election of Mr. Dolph to the senate.
This King Caucus is wholly an artificial
deity, and the present one peculiarly the
handiwork of the self-same Joseph for
Simon has said thumbs up, and thumbs
are up.
Why should Benton's legislators wor
ship at the shrine of Simon's creation ?
Is there some bright divinity which fol
lows in the wake of Joseph's wand, that
should challenge the respect of an hon
est man of the high order and type of
Senator Carter ? Was it Simon's state
craft in emasculating the republican state
ticket in. the interest of Strahan, that
death might be dealt to Judge Waldo,
that so commends the tactics of the ring
manipulator to our senator? If not,
where lies the magician's power over an
honest man ? Is Benton county republi
canism to be represented by her chosen
members, or is it that artificial power
. called King Caucus,fanned into life in
the interest of Mr. Dolph, by the hands
of Simon ?
The will' of Mr. Carter's constituency
is no doubtful factor. The numerously
6igned petitions now in the hands of the
Eon. T. H, Cooper show pointedly what
the republicans of Benton county desire.
We do not criticise the votes of Senator
Carter, but rather call his attention earn
estly to the fact that his sole province is
to represent Benton, county, not Simon;
that 90 per cent of his fellow republicans
in Benton county do not desire Mr.- Dolph
lcnger in the U. S. senate. Our delega
' tion in the nation's capitol should stand
an unit, and present a solid front. To
elect Mr. Dolph is to prostitute our party
to the dominion of corporate power, aud
to place the seal of condemnation upon
Mitchell, Hermann and Ellis. We want
our congressional delegation in Washing
ton to be at least consistent with them
selves. Oregon has 'many good, able represen
tative menof the type of Lord, Hermann,
Ivell, Williams, and others, for an U. S.
senator. We are not confined to the
tmall'tneasure ordaiued as per formula
under Joseph's machine, which has been
nauseating to all self-respecting republi
cans for years.
: Oregon has already had too much of
Dolph, who is out of harmony with
everything save self and corporate in
fluence. Even the Oregonian would not
disguise the fact that he is austere, un
sympathetic, cold-blooded, devoid of sen
timentality, lordly and aristocratic in his
manner andr bearing, which,0 with his
clammy, freezing touch, placss him at
the head of the close communion cor
poration table. Seemingly, his texture is
such that it will not blend with the form
of government conceived by the fathers
of the .republic. It -should require no
particular discernment to grasp the self
evident proposition that the only warm
act of Mr. Dolph's life, so far as recorded,
was to leave the capital in the dead of
winter to herd the Oregon legislature.
Even that is to be commended. Repre
sentative Cooper is now the only member
of Benton's delegation who is represent
ing his constituency.
'LETTERS continue to come in from all
parts of the country urging the Gazette
to do all possible against the election of
Dolph. The desire to defeat anyone was
never before so outspoken. Indeed,
should we phblish all the letters received

entirely filled with tliem.
STATE PUBLICATION.
u The matter of state publication of
school text books is likely to be brought
up for consideration at the present ses
sion of the legislature. In fact it has
been stated that Portland's committae of
one hundred has a bill providing for state
publication, and that - Multnomah mem
bers will attempt to force its passage.
It hardly seems probable that this state
ment is true. Business men will not
attempt to eecure the passage of such an
imoortant measure until after careful
investigation of all its phases. Such an
investigation .would at once disclose the
utter folly of the state entering into the
printing business. The experience of
California alone is such as would cause
any thinking man to oppose the plan.
There it has been in operation for several
years, but the plan has become a heavy
and needless expense to the state, besides
being disastrous to the best interests of
the schools. As a rule the books are
inferior in every particular, and the fact
that they have cost the school patrons a
vast sum more than superior books could
have been purchased for in the open
market, has caused a deal of dissatisfac
tion. Oregon should profit by the alto
gether unsatisfactory experience of her
sister state and not be guilty of a similar
folly. The result of the competition of
publishers under our present plan of
providing books has been to effect a
steady reduction in the price of books,
and a steady improvement in their qual
ity. The books of today made in this
country are models of the bookmaker's
art, and are superior to the school books
of England or Germany in every respect.
"The principal objections to a system
of state publication," says Prof. S. S.
Parr, dean of the normal school at Green
castle, Ind., "are to be found in the
greater cost of books, the impracticabil
ity of securing efiScient means of distri
bution without adding about one half of
the usual retail profit, the fact that state
manufacture or supply thrusts books upon
the schools from the outside rather than
allows them to arisejts a growthout of
the necessities of the work, and, as a part
of the last question, state supply stifles
that free authorship and free bookmak
ing which have done so much in the last
twenty years to give us improved books.
It opens wide the dcor to special legisla
tion intended to control contracts, turns
textbook supplies, over as the spoils of
politics, and is an incentive to all kinds
of jobbery and corruption. It destroys
the business of the jobber and retailer of
books, and thus breaks down a useful
and beneficent industry. Such a system
is paternal in its tendencies, and takes
away all local privileges of selection and
choice. The making and distributing of
books must be made a business, and can
not safely be entrusted to boards or com
missioners wh6se business is to do some
thing else. With the six-year limitation
put on textbook change by the ' present
law of Indiana, free competition and
intelligent dealing with the choice of
books and with schoolbook firms, by
school officers, offer as little friction and
as little loss as any known system which
is possible."
The salary of Benton county's judge is
now $900 per annum. This sum is out
of all proportion to the service demanded
The county is 6mall aud contains a pop
ulation not exceeding 9000 or 10000.
The time required for the faithful dis
charge of the judge's official duties will
at the outside not exceed five -days per
month or sixty days per annum. Ten
dollars per day should be ample . remun
eration for such service. Petitions ask
ing that the salary be reduced from $900
to $600 per year, have been circulated in
nearly every precinct in the county.
Never have petitions of any sort been so
readily and generously signed by all
classes and creeds as this one. In fact
the endorsement of the movement has
been almost unanimous. On the can
vass last spring our legislators promised
their constituents to further any move
ment in the line of economy. Now an
opportunity is afforded to fulfill those
promises: A bill to reduce the judge's
salary of Benton county has been pre
pared and together with the numerous
petitions asking for the passage of the
measure, will be sent to our delegation
this week. Will they see that this bill
becomes a law and thus fulfill their cam
paign pledges?
Nebraska has elected a senator who
will be a credit to the state he represents
and an honor to his country. ' As an ora
tor, a jurist, a lawyer, dr a man, John M.
Thurston has few equals. He fully real
izes his duty to the people and will
attempt to carry out their wishes to the
letter. After being elected he addressed
the joint assembly and in the course of
his remarks stated: "I am in favor of
the speedy enactment of a protective
tariff law modeled upon the general lines
of the McKinley act and embodying the
reciprocity ideas of James G. Blaine. ' I
am in favor of American bimetalism and
in this the United States should lead the
world."
Dun's Review, in one of its recent
issues, estimated the loss of wages to the
employees of in all industries in 1894 as
compared with 1892 at about $500,000,000.
This amount must be deducted from the
productive wealth of the country, .and
taken by itself, or in its relation to the
industries affected, it is appalling. It is
an amount sufficient to pay off one-half
the net debt of the United States. The
industrial strength of the country has
been severely tested the last year or more.
There are a few people ' in Benton
county who have taken it into their
heads that the only safe thing to do is to
train with the Multnomah ring. To all
such the Gazette will say that the back
of the camel is broken. This Dolph
business was the straw which did the
work. Hereafter a disciple of the He
brew idol need expect nothing in Bentoa
county..
' ANTI-ALIEN LABOR LAW:
' Corporations performing the service of
common earners as a rule enjoy many
privileges obtained from both the state
and federal governments. On this ac
count it would seem perfectly right and
proper to require such public corpora
tions to employ only American citizens.
It is true that there exists a growing
tendency to legislate all corporations "off'
the face of the earth," so to speak. This
naturally causes them to retaliate, and is
perhaps the cause of much interference
from them in politics and legislation.
These corporations, "however, receive
valuable franchises from municipalities,
counties, states, and from the national
government; besides, these interests
receive a deal of favorable legislation.
Therefore the government has a right to
dictate, in a measure, how their business
affairs shall be conducted. Whenever
possible the welfare of the American
workingman should be considered, and,
should any opportunity present itself to
legislate In his behalf such opportunity
should not be allowed to pass. In Amer
ica the interests of an American should
be considered paramount to those of for
eigners. A citizen of this country should
not be compelled to compete with immi
grants who cannot become American
citizens or who do not intend to become
such. The anti-labor alien labor bill
introduced by Representative Hofer
should receive favorable consideration by
the Oregon legislature. That portion of
the act providing for the payment of $ 100
annually as a license for the privilege of
carrying on the business of a common
carrier, will probably not meet with
approval from all sources. But section
four ought to pass without serious oppo
sition. It is as follows:
"Any public corporation transacting
business in this state, within the terms
and meaning of this act, is hereby pro
hibited from employing In its service, or
having upon its payrolls, or keeping in
its employ in this state any person other
than an American citizen, or. a person
who has declared his intention to become
an Americancitizen, and this section
shall not be construed to permit the
employment of persons whose citizenship
is of a temporary character, or founded
upon treaty relations with countries from
which immigration is restricted or pro
hibited by acts of congress."-
There must be a crisis in the senator
ial matter shortly. The election is stand
ing sn the way of needed legislation, and
good bills are apt to be defeated, or bad
ones passed through the desire to elect
some particular man. Most legislators
are honestly imbued with the desire to
accomplish what is needed in the way of
legislation, but they cannot give the
proper attention to proposed laws while
the election is still agitating their minds.
Mr. Dolph ought to see that he cannot
be elected; that he is standing in the way
of an election and his candldancy is pre-
venting our state law-makers from doing
their duty, He must realize that the
party and the state owe him nothing
that he owes to them all the honors he
has received as a public man. The spirit
of gratitude if nothing else, should move
him to relinquish the role of "the dog in
the the manger," and retire from the
contest
Oregon, with a clear republican
majority of ten thousand frequently
enjoys the luxury of a democratic state
treasurer, governor or supreme judge.
Each and every time this has occurred
it has been caused by the treachery of
Joe Simon, who had not been allowed by
the state convention to name the candi
dates. Every member of the legisla
ture knows this to be true, and unless
they intend to turn the state over to
Joseph they will not elect his pet Dolph.
A GENEROUSLY signed petition asking
that the city charter be so amended as to
provide for the selection of chief of
police and police judge by popular vote,
has been sent our members in the legis
lature, and a bill" for this purpose will no
doubt receive their earnest support. The
sentiment here is almost unanimous in
favor of the change. The right to choose
these two officers by popular vote is a
prerogative'which the people ought not
to be denied.'
The few names received to a petition
for Dolph apparently exhausted the sup
ply, as all efforts toward securing more
seem to have been abandoned.' On the
other hand, republicans are coming in
from the country in great numbers every
day to add their influence for Lord or
any other representative man.
The Baltimore American remarks:
"Reciprocity means a large and steady
increase in American exports. Its repeal
has been followed by a large and steady
decrease in them. Even the democrats
are now convinced that the policy of the
late Mr. Blaine was that of a wise and
far-seeing statesman."
The appeals which come over the
wires and through the mails from the
poor old ring begging for help from Ben
ton, are indeed pathetic. They would
bring sobs from the stoniest heart if they
were not urging such a nefarious scheme.
Thirty years ago when the democrats
came into power in Missouri, they
removed Lincoln's portrait from the hall
of the house of representatives. The
republicans, who are now in a majority,
will hang it just where it was before.

"Corvallis, Or., Nov. 5th, 1894. ,
Benton county to W. 8. Hufford, Dr.r '
Oct 24, 25, 26. 27, to expenses to Port
land to attend connty judges convention,
including fare, board and lodging, $14.
Allowed Nov. 7, 1894, $14. .
F. J. Chambers,
No. 9,171. Connty Commissioner.
The above is taken from a true copy
of a bill presented by Judge Hufford to the
county coort and allowed at the November
term. The editorial in last week's Gazette
has called forth a Btorm of inquiries in re
gard to this matter and as ' to the present
management of our county affairs.
There aeems to be no excuse whatever for
the "holding np" of the connty as was done
ia the payment of this bill. Judge Hufford's
attendance upon the convention of connty
judges was a matter of his own volition,
The said convention was a self-conitituted
one, from which the counties- could gain no
possible good. It is true they recommended
the cutting down of salaries or feci of other
county officials, 'but whatever legislation
was needed for the county could have been
impressed upon the legislators at home,
There is no legal authority for the payment
of junketing expenses of county judges.
The office of the county iadae ia in the
court house and he receives a fixed salary,
Taxpayers are saying that it ia no wonder
the county has made such little progress in
the redaction of its indebtedness if snch
"hold-up" bills as this are regularly al
lowed. Four years ago last July the oounty
after building the oonrthoase and defraying
the expenses of a $75,000 flood, was about
$41,000 ia debt Since that time there has
been practically no ohange ia the tax levy,
yet the county's indebtedness, according to
the exhibit of last July was nearly $46,000.
There were no improvements made during
Judge Hufford's administration to account
for anv crreat expenditure. It is true, the
taxes for last year are greatly delinquent,
but still it is a mystery that the county
debt, instead of being greatly decreased,
has actually grown. It shows either igno
rance, carelessness or fraud in the manage
ment 1
Judge Hufford went into office in 1890 on
a salary of $700 per annum. This ought to
have been a fortune to a lean and hungry
lawyer coming from the wilds of the Ya
quina, where he had for years subsisted on
clams and salt air, bat he stul had a cramp
ia bis hand, and he had hardly warmed his
judicial bench before he met witQ other
county judges for the purpose of agitating
the raising of their salaries. By the usual
political wire pulling the legislature was
prevailed upon to give them what they
asked. The salary for this county was
raised to $900. The ordinary man would
consider this ample remuneration for the
little time and work the judge must devote
to bis duties. But Judge Hufford .was still
unsatisfied. There was no prospect for
farther increase of salary. The next best
thine was to do less work. So . when 1 he
county division scheme came up Judge
Hufford furthered it to the best of his
ability. He himself wrote the bill that di
vided the county over which he presided.
This bill fixed the salary of the new judge
of Lincoln county. There was no provision,
however, for the reduction of the salary of
Benton's county judge, although by the
division he was relieved of about one-half of
his work. Taxpayers of Kenton and Lin
coln now pay $1,300 for the same services
which Judges Burnett, McFadden, Bryson
and Holgate ably performed for $600. This
Yaquina type of lawyers may be of a very
select variety, but is rather too high priced
for the pocket books of common taxpay
ers. OIRXS, DON'T!
Girls, you think it is very funny to flirt,
don't you ? And so you go on and
trifling with young men's affections, jilting
them aud laughing in yeur sleeve at their
piteous, or indignant words, as the case may
be. Some men swear, or feel like doing so,
at such times, white others cry, according to
their peculiar dispositions. For my part,
I'd rather have them swear, for crying does
make their noses so ridiculously red and
shiny. Oh, yes, girls, I know all about it.
Just how the compliments or flattery
from a good-looking young man, tickle your
vanity; how their honeyed JwordsJ some
times fall upoD our perturbed spirits like
oil upon an augry sea; how their chocolate
drops, gum-drops and taffy drops and ii
truth they feed yon more taffy than any
thing else tickle the appetite and make
one feel that "Tom isn't half bad." And
then, such delightful buggy-rides as he takes
you! to say nothing of theatres, excursions,
picnics and concerts.
And 'all this time poor Tom's purse has
been growing leaner aud leaner, 'til at length
in desperation he blows in his last four-bits
for a box of bon-bons for you, and while you
sit and munch the sweets ha has brought
yon, Tom puts his fate to the test, and
gets left - And youT Oh dear, you're a
woman I And so you gently smooth the
poor boy's hair with one dainty hand, while
with'the other, you poke another chocolate
drop into jour greedy little mouth which
no one but Tom ever did call little at the
same time telling Tom how sorry you are,
and how unexpected his proposal is, while in
your heart you know full well you've been
trying to make him propose for the past
three months. And so poor Tom goes his
way, and as he has been duped by you, so
are other unsuspecting girls duped by him,
for be has learned a thing or two since he
was a boy. . And now, having disposed of
Tom, you put on an extra dash of powder,
give your bangs a more bewitching curl, and
sally forth to capture a new victim, and be
ing young and attractive, it doesn't take
you long; and soon the old farce on your
part at least is enacted once again. .
And tans tne game ot me goes on; you

Corvallis Gazette:
t From beneath the capitol dome
the anti-Dolph :arpenters, .- far
mers, laborers and miners are still
driving nails in his honors J. N.
Dolph' s coffin. ; Twenty-nine re
publican spikes are driven deeper
every time a ballot is taken. To- 1
day Hon. T- H. Cooper will drive
the thirtyeth. ; Dolph's follow
ers now concede his defeat, and
the work of compromise is now
begun. As to who will be the
man, much conjecture now pre
vails. It is thought that Gov.
W. P. Lord, would stand the best
chance, were it not that he is a
good man in a good place. Hon.
Geo. H. Williams is the next
strongest man, and doubtless can
have the support of Multnomah
county delegates when the ring
is broken. There is but little
hindrance now caused by the
deadlock, as it only requires about
twenty minutes to ballot each
day. It is not Senator Dolph so
much that the people want to
retire, it is the principles he rep
resents, and the power that dom
inated in the so-called caucus,
and the power that has controlled
the state for so many years.
The Multnomah delegation,
Dolph's sentinels, are asking the
legislature to pass Portland's new
charter bill. Country members
are also watching the bill stabing
"Billy" Hume. Although both
seem of a local nature, they are
wide-sweepers, and should they
become laws, will shackle the
freedom of Oregon forever, un
less there is a local upheaval and
a general turning over of the
republican party. This should
not result now, and the republi
can party now in power can be
of a great benefit if put into
clean hands the promised new
deal.
Our senator, Hon. Tolbert Car
ter has secured the passage of a
bill, changing Lincoln's circuit
court terms to the fourth Monday
of July and January of each year,
not effecting, however, the next
May term. This is a much need
ed change, as the court could
not heretofore reach that place
in time. Mr. Carter is sick and
has not answered to his name
this week.
Long of Multnomah, has in
troduced a bill to abolish free
scholarships to the Agricultural
College. Aided by the Dolph
Simon machine, which has ever
been antagonistic to the state's
welfare, the bill may become a
law. It is to be hoped, however,
that there are enough men in the
Oregon legislature, who will rise
above machine politics to defeat
the measure. For the informa
tion of members, not dominated
by the machine, and who might
be inclined to favor the bill un
der the false impression that it
was a measure in the interest of
economy, it might be stated that
the Oregon Agricultural College
and experiment station connected
therewith are maintained exclu
sively by the federal government.
All the money appropriated by
the state has been expended in
the erection of buildings. Abol
ishment of free scholarships will
not lessen state taxes in the least.
The course of study prescribed
at the institution is the most
practical and useful to be obtain
ed. Its students are made up
from the brawn and sinew of the
state; not from the plutocratic
class, who are now attempting to
force the passage of a bill which,
if successful, will limit the influ
ence and usefulness of the college,
because it will deprive many of
the more dependent students
from entering the school. Pupils
of the Agricultural College, as a
rule, are sons and daughters of
farmers, mechanics and the !&
boring classes. Fully three-fifths
of its students are doing manual
labor about the college farm, or
in town to assist them m defray
ing their school expenses. If free
scholarships were entirely done
away with it would materially
effect the chances of at least 60
students of getting an education.
By -withdrawing this assistance
the state receives no pecuniary
benefit; but on the other hand
diminishes the influence "of the
college without reducing the cost
of its maintenance. The bill is
without a semblance of merit,
and should suffer defeat.
