Under the above caption the Portland
Telegram of recent date says :
"Oregon congratulates the legislature
With but seven disputing otes, less
than one out of twelve, the bill appro
priatine $500,000 for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition has been passed.
Against it were only five votes iu ihe
House and two iu the Senate. A refer
endum is unlikely. Xow other states
can and will go ahead and make their
' appropriations. Washington will lead
perhaps with (100,000, possibly more,
after thinking over the great advantage
which a full exhibit of that state's
products would be. Other states will
make provision for exkibtions. The
President will be here next spring to
break ground. We shall be in good
shape to appeal to Congress next De
cember. Half a million dollars is
good deal of money for Oregon, but
will be a good investment. The people
will not feel it much. The benefits will
be widely distributed. The legislature
has done well. It has acted promptly
and yet with due deliberation. Send
the news out everywhere. Let the
world know. Oregon mu.-t toot her
horn more and now she has a good
jeason for doing so"
The whole affair is one of robbery of
the state funds andis a graft upon the
public at large. The measure consists
of three direct steals under one head
The Portland Historical building gets
large part of the taxpajers money
the St. Louis Exposition another large
slice of the pie. and the balance is for
the Lewis & Clark Exposition. It was
found necessary in order to force the
measure through both branches of the
legislature to job lot several steals under
.one head and with the friends of all the
steals thus satisfied to force the measure
through without due deliberation and
foist upon the taxpayers of Oregon a
$500,000 conglomerated raid on the pub
lic funds. The people of Oregon should
arise in their might and demand that
the measure be settled by the referen
dum, for if there ever was a measure de
manding the voiie of the people to ba
heard it is this measure of moment to
every taxpayer in the state. Petitione
to the Secretary of the State
hould be immediately put in
circulation - and signed . by 5 per
cent, of the citizens and then let the
people at large vote on the Portland
steal. The Plaixdealer is not opposed
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition
appropriation but it is opposed
to the spirit of haste and wanton aban
donment of principle, of honor and in
tegrity and selling legislative m votes by
the Multnomah statesmen for the bene
fit of Portland's real estate boom. The
men wao have pushed this measure
through are afraid for the people at
large to vote on the law and in the lan
guage of the departed Jay Gould the
Portland boodlers of the taxes say:
'Tle public be d , and the public
ought to arise and say "the boodlers be
d ."

The following is a form of petition regarding the Port
land steal. Just as soon as the Governor sigus the bill the
date should be filled in and the petition will then bo legal.
It was prepared for the Plaindealer by one of the most
talented lawyers of Oregon: '

Thursday's Portland Telegram con
tained a cartoon in w hich Senator A.
C. Marstrs figured a3 one of the princi
pals. It was entitled "Friend and Foe"
and Senator Marsters, of Douglas, and
Hunt, of Multnomah, were represented
as standing 4ii deuate in me snaie
chamber on the question of the (500,000
Lewis & Clark Exposition bill, Mr. Mar
sters opposing it, and Hunt standing for
the measure. A picture of the pioneer,
Dr. McLaughlin was represented as
hanging on the wall of the Senate Cham
ber, to wnith Hunt was referring with
the statement, "With the passage of
this bill will come the benediction of the
father of old Oregon." Portland is
naturally a little sore at our Senator on
account of Lis attitude toward the Ex
position appropriation bill, but it re
mains to be seen what the people think
about this measure. They are likely to
sustain Senator Marsters iu opposing
such a heavy obligation as 'Portland
would saddle on the state.
SENATORIAL CONTEST UNCHANGED
Senator Stewart's committee is trying
to place the blame for the Washington
awl shortage and high prices. H Fay
that somewhere among the regular cr
independent operators, the coal roads or
the retail merchants, downright robbery
is going on and he proposes to place th
blame. We will keep this committer
going until March if necessary. Speak
ins of soft coal prices, he" said : "A
price of fJ.25 a ton for & ft coal is out
rageous, in view of the testimony of C.

SHELLEY AFTER DRUNKARDS.
A bill to make drunkenness a misde
meanor was introduced in the House
yesterday morning by Shelley of Lane.
Mr. Shelley thinks the measure will be
passed, because it does not go to the ex
treme of prohibitionist?. "If the act
can be enforced," said Le, "it should be
passed. I think it can be enforced."
"It shall be unlawful," says the bill,
'for any person to be found in a state of
intoxication or drunkenness." Any
person convicted of violating the act is
to be fined not less than 5 nor more
than (25, or to be imprisoned not less
than five days nor more than 15 days ;
and for the second offense the penalty
is doubled. "Any pereon upon convic
tion of violating this actlhe third time
shall be deemed a common drunkard
and be treated accordingly."
Senator Carmkk says in bis recent

Does the fiery-haired Tennesseean mean
to asseit that nature is the superior of

reads this interview it w ill be all up
with Carmack, for the latter flatly ad.
saits "we have prosperity now." Ol
course, if the "now" had been heavily
underscored or had it stood in large
bold-face type, Mr. Bryan might have
smiled approvingly, since this would
have conveyed an impression cf the gen
eral democratic theory of the "fleeting"
and "temporary" prosperity which we
have had for the past four or five years
Moreover, Mr. Carmick's following re
mark crashes into space with awful re
Terberating effect. "Gold is plenty,'
he says, "and we have prosperity now ;
but I make the prediction (mark here;
that the mines will sooner or later ex
haust themselves." This frightful
thought, staring at people iu ccld type,
is what has made old financiers tremble
and turn pale to think that in 200 oi
300 years the mines may become ex.
hausted ! Ye gods and little fishes ! Of
course, by that time there will be dis.
covered new mines ; but who can say
that there will ever be auot'ier Car

The indictment against Captain Lynch

The friends of Senator Fulton are con

up to 35. The Multnomah delegation
have not accorded the expected support
in return for Senator Fulton's upiort
of the Portland bill.
Ex-Governor Geer it is be'ioved has
polled his full vote and that Le ill

he received last week. The Multnomah
legislators are scattering their votes anJ
t seems that they are determined now
that they have passed their bill through
to let the various candidates get down
on their knees and humbly pray for
their support. The Multnomah la tea
men are prepared to place a dark hors
in nomination, and thus not only control
the finance and destiny of Oregon, but
to capture Senator Simmons seat in th
United States Senate at the same time.

when they said after last night's caucus
that they had resolved " to stand firmly

Legislative Governor a while longer.
Most of the pairs recorded on today's

There were 'no speeches today, and
the joint session was attended by na fea

- SOME IMPORTANT MEASCRES.
Salem, Ore., Jan 23. Carnahan of
Clatsop is in favor of doing away with
he poll tax law now on the code of Ore
gon. The poll tax, as now provided, is
(I, which is assessed on every citizen in
the state between the ages of 21 and 50.
Carnahan's bill is to repeal this section
in its entirety.
County and state officials of Oregon
will be paiticularly interested in another
bill by Carnahan, which is to the eff ct
that elective and appointive officers who
are now required to give a bond, shall
give an undertaking with some surety
company, the"cost of this to.be borne by
the state.
A slight chsnge is suggested in a third
bill by the Clatsop Representative, to
the effect that the Assessor of each

The property owner la the man whose

tinue. Cities may have the power to
enforce street Improvement, and It la
difficult for property owners to check

tricts the Cm move must generally
originate with tha property owners

Good Roads Magazlno. If their inter

Work to produce good results.
The question thus comes down to the
point of interesting the property own
ers, aud this class cannot be made to
help the movement unlets it can be
shown that good roads are available
assets upon which they can actually
realize and base definite results and
conclusions.
This Is no easy point to prove, and
yet It is susceptible of demonstration
both theoretically and practically.
First, good toad help the farmers by
bringing their products and homes Id
clour, touch with the markets. The
man who bits farm produce to gull and
can market It when prices are highest
wilt realize greater profit than if he
has to s?U the goods when the mar
kets are glutted. In the late summer
and fall of the year the country roads
are probably In tbelr best condition.
Nearly every farmer can get hla prod
ucts to market without dltHculty. The
result Is that prices for all farm crops
axe lxnt then, and the glut Is some
times so great that there are no profits.
Tho (peculator realizes this, and be

Tho electric line has demonstrated
more than anything else the actual
value of ready communication between
the city and country. It haa developed
the possibility cf the country as an
abode durlr.e most of the year. It has
indirectly remonstrated also that good
highways can produce visible assets
In country property as nothing else can
do. Back from the lines of the trolleys
are homes which have been laid out
with care otd cipense. With their
erection has come greater co-operation
for better roads connecting "at least
with the street railroads and business
portion of the towns. The owners o
these places have realized the value of
being in ready communication with the
rest of tbe world. A good highway
will thus Increase the value of a couo
try place from 10 to 20 per cent or
more. This rise Is pcrmauont snd be
comes an asset to be realized upon
Houses thus located are In demand.

A bard surface well rounded so that
the water will run off quickly is the
secret of a good road, says the New
York Tribune. Attention after s road
la once permanently built Is Imperative,
so that the washed out places and de
pressions where water stands may be
repaired. A little timclr work will
keep a road In good shape.
Great loss has often been occasioned
through temporary aud unskillful tlx
Ing of roads and the erection of filmsj
and Insufficient culverts and bridges.
It Is poor economy to erect anything
but permanent structures, built to last
and starfd the severest tests.
