Curballts (gametic. Issued Every Friday Morning by fhe Gazette Publishing Co. a. W. JOHNSON,- Mmtlness Manager. CORVALLIS, OREGON. DEC. 1 1, 1896. IN BRIEF. The Times is touchy since partaking of populism. No other newspaper in the world quite a distinction, by the way would have considered the Gazette's little story, headed "An Artless Critic," an intend ed affront. The Times, while phenome nally inventive in finding cause for complaint, is extraordinarily dull in its manner of complain ing. Its feeble charge that the Gazette depends upon its col umns for news items, simply rives an excellent opportunity for the telliner of a few absolute truths. The Times is feeling the blight of populismm. It is on the wane. This is the verdict, not alone of an opposition newspa per, but of the Times' friends. While the Gazette has forged ahead in influence, standing and financial prosperity, the Times has steadily lost ground. . Sever al causes may have contributed towards the accomplishment of the Times decline, but the chief cause is populism. A piper that even only inci dentally endorses dangerous pol icies, denies the right of private ownership, rails at thrift, and . panders to the idle and ; the spendthrifts, must surely lose caste with the solid element of society. The Times' fretful ptowIihs' at the gazette evi dences that it feels the effect, whether or not it comprehends the cause. The opposition to Senator Mitchell is of the nagging sort It is being carried on, publicly, through the mediumship of cheap lawyers like Lydell Baker and through a "patronage" pa per, the Portland Chronicle, whose subscription list is not as long as its exchange list. There is heavier material bacK 01 tnese petty attackers, f whose opposi tion is not due to any tear 01 tne Senator's future "action on finan cial legislation, but rather to a desire to have an official repre tentative at Washington who will look after their interests 111 the matter of patronage. Several would-be trimmers of political maneuvers are trying to torce senator ivutcneu 10 upcu lis mouth that they may see whether or not he has any gold filled teeth. If they can fiud that the senator has his dental cavity filled with silver instead of gold amalgam, they propose that he shall not chew any senatorial mini Onp T.vdfl Raker is thus ' . . ' ....... engaged in trying to ticKie tne senator till he laughs, for the purpose of making an inspection of the Senator's incisors, cuspids and molars. Plaindealer. County Affairs Kgm TARIFF LEGISLATION. The Good "Roads convention that is to be held at Portland this month, is of great importance to the farmer and business man. Benton county should send down several delegates. Proposed road lemslation will come up tor ais- and the best method of getting a good system of roads in Oregon will be tne paramount issue. Wells Items. We remember the Oregonian's prediction of disaster, made after the presidential election of 1892. The then anticipated taritt bil was to bring about, according to the leading paper of Oregon commercial depression and conse quent misery to the peopfe of the Union That bill is now reality. The disaster came also. Some time after the Wilson Gorman bill went into operation, and during the panic that wiped banks and other business houses out of existence, the Oregonian leprisited its prophecy and point ed to the existing condition as its -.fulfillment Yet the Oregonian now practically opposes any revis ion of the condemned bill. It is evident enough that the Oregonian was partizan and hasty in its prophecy and unjust in ascribing all our misfortunes as a people to the operation of the Wilson bill. But it is equally evident that that bill does not provide sufficient revenues for the government, that it is palpa bly inequitable, and that it served to increase the disaster that over took, us. Why should not a bet- ter law be subsituted ? The republican platform con demned the Wilson bill and promised a better tariff" measure. Pepublican papers and, speakers throughout the land told the peo ple that republican success meant a return to the republican policy of protection. That policy does not necessarily mean a return to the McKinley schedule, but it does mean a tariff" measure framed as Blaine would frame "it, were be alive. It is not so much a matter of rate as of arrangement There is not much to be said in favor of the Dingley bill. It will bat ac centuate rather than correct the inequities of the Wilson bill and the horizontal raise may operate to check imports and thus prove .less satisfactory than the Wilson bill as a tevenue raiser. The demand is for a bill that is not sectional in its protection; that will aid the producers of the West as well as the manufactur ers of the East. Whether the protection resulting from . tariff measures'be incidental or design " ed, it should be impartially dis tributed, The manifest fear of offend ing gold democrats by tariff leg islation is absurd and is far from being complimentary to them. The democrats who opposed Bry an are made of sterner stuff, than some timid republicans seem to imagine. Those who voted for McKinley, did so expecting a republican tariff" policy. Those of them who could not reconcile themselves with the support of such legislation voted for Palmer and Buckncr. It is. highly prob able that but few of the latter ap prove the Wilson-Gorman bill; .a measure condemned so severely by President Cleveland. Now is ,the very time, no't to .avoid tariff discussion, but for settling the matter. While the statesmen ot both parties are in accord and in touch with -one an--other, let us adopt a nonpartizan, nonseciional, adequate, just, equi table and wise tariff measure. This is the very best time for the exercise of sound judgment, un cqloredf by party prejudice or party expediency. . . President Cleveland has sent his last annual message;, to con gress. In plain, rather conver sational style, he discusses im portant state matters, but makes few recommendations. His treatment of the Cuban ques tion, while a disappointment to the more ardent Cuban sympa thizers, appeals to the practical patriotism of Americans. . President-Elect McKinley is said to be considering Binger Hermann as a member of his cabinet. Such a selection would not create respect for the Major, in Oregon, for that Job was done a long time ago, but it would tend materially to increase it - Among other things that an examination into the county's financial condition brings to light is the faefc-thattbe-satfary system, however pleasing it is as an ab stract theory of public equity, is not a success from a? business point of view. ; r. The simple assertion of Mn Mitchell that he is gold standard man will not have any weight with the bregonianw crowd.- He must swear it. Yamhill Independent The dogs are baying at the ... 1 ' 1 moon, but tne moon aoes not oay back. Senator Mitchell will con tinue to be Senator Mitchell. A Short Course. In the first place it will be good. In the second place it will be free. There are lots. of things about farming that farmers do not know, both as to!! the theory and the practice. Farminsr is more than mere drudgery. It is a business; a science. At least it should be. The farmer's short course at the Oregon Agricultural College is for men farmer who farm.. The course for this collegiate year will commence January 11th. and close February 8th. and will embrace instruction in horticulture and dairying. The exbenses for the whole course, including board, need not be more than $20 at the most. Every farmer who feels disposed to improve his methods should make an effort to attend this course. " . A bulletin explaining the pro posed course and giving details will be sent to any one applying to the college. There will be reduced fare on all railroad lines fol those allendinz this course.

W. A. Buchanan, Treasurer of Benton County Oregon. Dated Corvallis, Dec. 5. iSa5. is a LOCAL DISEASE and is the result of colds and sudden climatic changes. It can be cored by a pleasant remedy which is applied dir rectiy into the nostrils. Se ine qaickly absorbed it ives Ely's Cream Balm Much comment " has been ex pressed during the past week con cerning the financial condition of the county as reported in the last issue of the Gazette. Nearly ev eryone seemed surprised that the county should have become so heavily involved when there has been no unusual heavy expense. The debt was variously estimated from $25,000 to $40,000 and oc casionally a citizen would guess the amount at $50,000, showing that the general public was very much in ignorance of our real condition. Last spring, alter the payment of the delinquent Ore gon Paciiic taxes, this paper stated upon what seemed reliable information, that the county's debt was reduced to practically $30,000, but at that time our 111- dphteriiiPRH must have been con siderably larger than it is at prcs - ent. In looking over, the records, it . ". . . . 1 I . is apparent 111:11 me sauiry ay ii -, adopted in July, 1894, is ven largely responsible for our presenl condition. For the year emlinii July, 1st, 1895, the county's ex penditures lor salaries of officials, hot including ihe cost of consta ble, commissioners and janitor, which - aggregates $1,054.71, amounted to $9,658.27, while the fees turned over to the treasurer from the various officials only amounted to $1,956.95 for the year. Fo. the year ending July last, official salaries amounted tc $7,- 54S 96, and the fees received from ih- various officers aggregated $1,- 7'.) 2 5. To recapitulate the show- in" ''r the two years is as 101 low : Salaries, first year, $y,- 658.27: salaries, second year, $7,- KlS.Dfi. Lota . 31T.20 lees, nrsc year, $1,956.95; fees, second year, $1,792.85: total: $3,4y.su, to tah $3,749.80; excess of salaries for 2 years, $ij,oi.o. , r rom uiore figures, it is seen that the lees from the sheriffs, clerk's and re corder's offices together are insuf ficient to pay the sherilFs salary alone. Since the operation of the Butler bill went into effect, the county has derived absolutely no revenue from the sheriff s '. office. Under the original-": salary law provision was made for' the collec tion of fees from litigants the same as when we were operating under the fee system and. the fees so collected were to be turned over to the county. The Butler bill, however, provided for the deposit of . $5 or $10, according to the amount involved, with Ihe clerk whenever a civil or probate . matter- was begun, ;aiid under the nrovisions of -this law it was held that such deposit should be lull navment lor officers' fees 111 the r ... , - case. rims it is seen-mat me law: is manifestly unjust in Us op eratiohi limnlyaiverjfiew in stances is the deposit sufficient Jo defrav the cost of the work". In volved; and very frequently tne clerk alono performs services to the extent of double the .-deposit leaving nothing whatever for de fravhiff the exoenses of the sher iff in serving the papers and per formincr other duties required ot him before a case i. closed up, In other word6, the taxpayers are bearing a very large proportion 01 the cost of lilijralioii which should properly be paid by the. litigants themselves. lt. the. Jtiuuer Din was repealed, even with the pres ent salary system, tne county would probably increase its reve nue several thousand dollars annu ally. - Said a prominent, taxpayer the other day, in conversation with a Gazette representative: . , "This Butler bill is the" cause of much of our trouble. : Many of we tax-. payeis who have iso litigation are compelled to pay taxes, a large portion of which is exhausted in paying salaries of officials whose time is largely employed in per forming duties for litigants, many of whom pay little or no taxes. Litigants should pay : the officers the same as they did under the old fee system and in . that way the revenues of the county would be materially increased." Continuing, , he said: -'In my ODinion. the offices of clerk and recorder should be consolidated and the clerk's salary' fixed at $1400. The salary of the sheriff should be reduced to $1500 and the county judge's salary .ought not to be more than $600 per annum. Reasonable deputy hire should then be provided by the county court. However, - in my judg ment, a properly adjusted fee sys tem would be very much more satisfactory to the officers, as well as the taxpayers. Such a plan provides payment' for every ser vice performed and the expense is paid by the person or persons for whom the .seryiire is performed, and not by county. " : Before' ihe legislature con venes. it would he well for the taxpayers and officers to confer, and if possible, arrive at some definite understanding' as to what is needed in the way of legisla tion that will meet the approval of all concerned. ' A special bill could the 11 be framed for ' the gov ernment of this county that our delegation might get through the legislature without opposition."
