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

purpose of making an inspection

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

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.

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

In other word6, the taxpayers are

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."
