CORVALLIS, OREGON, JAN. 19. 1897.
A WEBFOOT NIGHTMARE.
Salem has a season of the gro
tesque. ' Poster politicians are
engaging in a tournament of
contraries.
The man who more than, all
carried the state for McKinley
is being bitterly opposed, affect
edly because of a murky doubt
of his soundness on the money
question, and the assailants are
planning day and night to award
free silver's most valiant Oregon
champion. with the speakership
of the lower house. -
Strenuous efforts1 have been
made in the interests of economy
ical legislation, to ' withhold the
organization until the genial
"prince of prodigality" can dic
tate the. .management of law
making.
Populists harangue about mil
lionaires, corporations and na
tional banks in palatial head
quarters, the expense of main
taining which is borne by these
moneyed interests.
The man who less than a year
ago was; "in his dotage" is now
in the prime of his intellectual
life.
The famous advice, "Attend
to your own business," once
boorish and disloyal, is now cul
tured and patriotic.
Expensive legislative unneces
saries are to be abolished by be
ing continued. -:"
A respect for law is to be in
culcated by an exhibition of law
lessness on the the part of law
makers. - .
Corruption is the maintaining
of honor.
Submission to a minority is an
evidence. of the spirit, of democ
racy." , ;' ..
No wonder Kansas went popu
.list a sficond time.. Such a cir
cus merits a return . engagement,
but the admission price is high,
very. high. '"'; ' - ' ' ; .
The situation as regards the
legislative' session ' is not only
unfortunate it is serious. The
senatorial contest, the question
of the speakership and particu
lar matters' of legislation are
dragged in as explanations of the
extraordinary condition that
confronts the citizens of
Oregon. ' The concern of the
people.: goes . beyond.- present
causes. : The real issue is a grave
one, and is this: Have twenty
nine men, out of ninety entrust
ed by the people with the re
sponsibilities of law making, the
legal power to destroy ' popular
government It matters not
what excuses are given by those
who deliberately absent them
selves for their extraordinary
conduct Honest men may differ
as to the merits of the real re
sults they wish to obtain, but
no honest, intelligent, patri
otic citizen1 can endorse the
means they employ. They are
morally wrong, and the question
now to be decided is, shall the
constitution be so construed as to
make their actions legally proper?
They are legally right if the
members who have taken the
oath of office and who are ready
to proceed with business have
not the legal power to do so. It
they are legally right, the consti
tution of Oregon does not guar
antee to the people of the state
the , right to rule themselves.
Twenty-nine men can at any
time prevent the organization of
the legislature. What happens
this year may be repeated con
tinually. ' Now is the time to
settle this matter. The perma
nent organization is certainly
constitutional. The members
who participate iu that organi
zation should make no conces
- skms to those who act as obstruc
tionists that. will tend to approve
their course. The fundamental
principles of our government
must be upheld at all hazards.
Legislation : is needed, badly
needed, and the thirty-one mem
bers have been ever ready to
make- personal and political sac
rifices in order that the work can
"proceed. But minority dicta
tions, attempted to be pushed by
such dangerous methods, must be
resented and repelled thoroughly;
Responsibility for the condition
of affairs that now exists does
not lie with the members who
helped to organize the house.
They have done all they honestly
could do, and they should, and
doubtless will, firmly maintain
their present position. They
are right and the people are with
them. Statesman.
It is not a mawkish senthnen-
tality that inspires the demand
for Senator Mitchell's re-election;
it is practicality. The thinking
farmers of Oregon will understand
that lessening the cost of trans
portation of their farm products
adds to their prices. They un
derstand the benefits inuring to
them from the improvement of
our rivers and harbors. They
know that Mr. Mitchell has been
a valuable servant of the state,
especially in these matters. They
know that the proposed Nica
ragua canal means to them ; a.
nearer market and higher prices
and that in Senator Mitchell the
canal has a diligent and efficient
advocate. They are not blind to
the fact that the great railroad,
lines are naturally opposed to the
construction of the canal and
that these corporations are finanr
cially interested in accomplish
ing Mr. Mitchell's defeat
Short Weight Butter Rolls,
The latest press bulletin issued
from the experiment station con
tains an article on "Short Weight
Butter Rolls," from the pen of F.
L. Kent, ''the station dairy iri;rrt,
which is here given in full:
I uSome means should be devised
to check the practice among dairy
men and creamerymen of putting
on tli' market a.package of butter
claimed to weigh two pounds, but
which really weighs from one to
three, and sometimes four, ounces
less. Of course it is but natural
that we should -want to lay the
blame in this matter on some one
else than on ourselves. .- Really
the California dairy supply nieu
are in a measure responsible for
the practice, for nearly all the
butter moulds used in Oregon are
of California manufacture. s There
was a time in California 'tyhen
practically all the so-called two
pound rolls actually weighed only
one and three-fourths pounds.
The early Oregon creameries
bought these short weight moulds,
and thus the practice came into
use 'in" this i state. . The short
weight roll, however, is gradu
ally disappearing from the Cali
fornia markets, owing to the ef
forts of the.Calilornia Dairy As
sociation, and the dissatisfaction
expressed by consumers.
"Some of the Oregon creameries
are discussing the advisability of
having a Jaw passed regulating
the size of the package to.be.iWd
in marketing all butter wuiuii is
not sold by the pound, i.e., wh-.-ii
butter is sold by the roll, as is the
cusldnJEtft? ortlmd markets,
therolls shaft contain a certain
number of cubic inches, which
shall be equal to the number ol
eubic inches of .solid abutter re
quired to weigh, two pounds.
Carelul weigh'ngs and" measure
ments at the station have shown
that 28 cubic inches of butter,
from the ordinary two-pound,
mould will wtejgh one pouiid. -
"while such a law'if passed,
would dotibtle 4omuch toward
remedf&g4$liltliere is some
questfohasjtO; thelegality of such
a Ga8ut9i'4V1?re is another
way out bf 'the diMcuYty; however,
and that is . for ' every -consumer
who buys these short weight rolls
to make a protest to tliel dealer
against the Bhoftoge06i6iiyssibii
men say that people who buy bnt
ter seldom inquire . whether the
rolls are full two pounds in weight.
As long as consumers are indiffer
ent about the matter, the majority
of creamerymen are not going to
furnish full-weight rolls.
. "Consumersj "the season will
soon" be at hand when there will
be an abundance of good butter
in the market, ' Insist on your
dealer furnishing 1 you with full
weight rolls, and he,' in turn, will
demand the same of the creamery
men from whom he gets his sup
ply. By a united effort on the
part of consumers this dishonest
practice can easily be brought to
an end. ..' ' ' ' ;'-
Refuse Their Salaries.
The Oregonian is certainly in
an unenviable position. It stands
self-condemned. Every word of
denunciation it has ever uttered
against Johnathan Bourne and
his political methods and against
populism convicts the Oregonian
now. "r The Oregonian's present
straits further expose the regret
table fact -that Oregon's leading
newspaper is as dishonest and un
scrupulous as it is ably edited.
Lincoln county will again en
joy the luxury, of a law suit, says
the leader, ' the clerk.", and sheriff
refusing the. salaries set for them
by the county court at its Decem
ber, 1896, term, and the matter is
to be tested in a suit brought by
the sheriff iqr the- same salary
tliheher.iffpf c Benton. county
receives. ' '" '"-"" ' '. '" !
The action is a mandamus case
brought against Lincoln county, J.
O. Stearns, countv .tudge. C. H.
Williams and F. A. . Godwin, com
missioners, and the writ directs
the defendants to appear before
Judge Fullerton, at Toledo,. 011
January 25th, 1897, and show
cause, if any there be, why they
do hot audit and allow the claims
or tne planum in tne same
amount that the same officer in
Benton county receives.
The only law in reference to the
salaries of the clerk and'sheriff is
in the law of 1893 creating Lin
coln county. In section 8 of that
act, it is provided that "the sheriff
and county clerk of said " county
shall receive the same fees as how
allowed by law to tne skenff and
clerk of Benton county." In 1893,
after the law creating Lincoln
county had been enacted, the
legislature enacted a law abolish
ing the fee system and placed the
clerks and sheriffs on salaries, but
failed to provide any salary for the
clerk. or sheriff of Lincoln county,
The legislature in 1895 again reg
ulated the salaries of the various
clerks and sheriffs of the stats ex
cept those of - Lincoln county, aud
no salaries were named for them
:Tha cu-preme'. court has decided
that the clerk and sheriff of Lin
coin county were under the salary
law and not under fees, and in the
absence of any named, the officers
interpret their salaries to be the
same as the salaries of the same
officers in Benton county, inasmuch
as the law says their fees were to
be the same. .
Service of the papers was made
yesterday, and the case will be
heard in court next week.
Weatherford & Wyatt, of Albany,
and Judge W. S. Hufford, of Cor
vallis, are attorneys for 'plaintiffs
in the action. Judge J. R. Bry
son was also one ot the attorneys,
but was compelled to retire Irom
the case by reason of his danger
ous illness. .
State Teachers' Reading Circle.
By a unanimous .vote at the
last meeting of the Department
of. the Superintendents at the
State Teachers' Association, the
management of the Teachers'
Reading Circle for the state of .Or
egon was placed in the care of the
president of the State University,
and President Chapman; of that
institution, is now , sending on t"iirf
vitatjons to the teachers pi the
staler to become niembersV5 v- '' '-'
"It-is not desired," he sayr,
'that any one should join who
does not feel 'the-need for earnest
professional improvement and
hard work. If you feel the need,
for steaJy advancement in your
work and wish to progress, you
are invited to join the State Read
ing Circle;'' The Circle can be
made a. success and a credit . to
the profession in Oregon if every
teacher will co-operate in the ef
fort This co-operation involves
two tlungs; each teacher should
join iliu circle and should also
read the books selected diligently.
Merely joining the Circle and pay
ing the yearly fee, which is; fifty
cents, will not do tne teacher or
the Circle any good. Every raemg
ber must work.
'Teachers may join the read
ing circle in either of two way?:
-" ''if Give your name and the
fee, which is ulty cents, to your
county superintendent. He will
forward them to the U ii versify.
Then send to Portland, American
Book Co., 219 Yamhill St., for
either or botli the books which
the circle is to read. The sets of
questions will be-forarded to -yon
monthly. ."'
'2. ' Send your name and the
fov (fifty cent) directly to the
"University of Oregon, " marking
the letter "Reading Circle." Tlrs
wil iiU-o' make yon a member of
Vhiis circle and entitle you lo tho;
seis'of questions."
Regular exercises and examina
tions in the work of the Reading
Circle will be held at f he annual
county institutes where arrange
tneiiis can be ni.ide for them.',
"' -'County superintendent are ex
