DOES SCOn SEEK REVENGE?
Have you noticed that practically
every Oregon citizen of prominence in
the state who has been brought under
the land fraud indictment ban was a
non-supporter of Harvey Scott in the
late senatorial contest. To begin
with there is George C. Brownell. the
sage of Clackamas, who in that trying
hour when the telegram reached him
from the Oregonian tower saying "now
is the time Georgie" failed to see it
that way. George was indicted. Sen
ators Booth and Kuykendall were war
horses in the Fulton camp. Booth was
indicted over one lonely, measly little
160 acre tract and all that saved Kuy
kendall from a similar reniemberanee
was that the trees in his front yard
were not numerous enough and large
enough to be classed as a timber claim.
Even Jack Matthews, who was chair
man of the republican state central
committee was tried and convicted by
the Oregonian, but the work was so
coarse that even Heney had to cut it
out. Mitchell, who was also friendly
to Fulton and into whose bed Scott
crawled after 25 years of vituperation
hurled through his paper at Oregon's
ranking statesman has been chiefly the
object of Scott's enlarged spleen.
Even the few letters Fulton wrote to
the department in behalf of friends
on timber matters had to be paraded
through the Oregonian under head
lines ment to be incriminating and as
a revengeful thrust at the man whom
the people preferred to Soott as I".
S. senator.
It bas become plainly evident as
investigation of land matters in Ore
gon have proceeded that Scott who
bas long desired to wear the senator
ial toga has given up the fight as use
less. Knowing that he can never be
elected and in a burst of wrath he has
determined if possible to wipe off the
face of the earth every party leader
or republican of prominence in the
state who has not heretofore bowed
the knee to his will in matters per
taining to state and congressional
matters, says the Eugene Register.
It is certainly a dangerous game
the Oregonian seems to be playing
dangerous for the Oregonian and for
the reputation of the state. The peo
ple are perfectly willing that whatever
of land fraud exists summary justice
shall be dealt to the real offenders,
but when the government investiga
tion must carry the weight of Scott's
political venom and unscrupulous am
bition to reap revenge upon his poli
tical enemies, or more specially, those
who have refused to be governed in
their political movements by the Ore
gonian's dictation, when politics goes
as deeply into a land fraud investiga
tion as it seems to have certainly
figured in this one, the people are
tempted to rise in revolt and declare
the procedure little short of infamy.
No wonder the Oregonian is losing
prestige throughout the state.
For the political sid of the Oregon
land fraud investigation the Oregon
ian has long since been indicted at
the bar of public opinion.
WASHINGTON VS OREGON
While visiting" Washington state
recently 'Editor Hofer supplied his pa
per, the Salem Journal, with the fol
lowing pointed editorial bearing on
educational matters: "While I was
in Washington the Governor of the
state visited all the state normal
schools. Great receptions were given
in his honor at Cheney and Ellens
burg. The appropriations for any
one of the Washington normals is
nearly as large as for all of the Ore
gon Normal schools. There the dem
agog does not howl. The referen
dum is not invoked. The iniative is
not threatened. The state grows.
The Washington school fund is larg
er than ours. The state school tax is
lower. The Oregon school taxes are
outrageously high. The irreducible
school fund is not as productive as it
should be. Where is the graft that
keeps a quarter of a million of funds
uninvested? Why have appropria
tions and state taxes increased 50
per cent in the past live years? Of
course. We are holding a fair, but
why nave an mils to produce reve
nues been killed? The Harris bill.
the Sonneniann bill or any bill to put
a dollar in It-he tre;isury. has been pig
eonholed in the senate or killed in
the house. ' The only satisfaction we
get is howling at normal schools,
when we had better begin to string
up a few of our politicians, metaphor
ically speaking, to some of the corpo
ration telegraph poles."
The new juvenile court, from which
much was expected by those who se
cured its authorization by the last
legislature, has ken found to be vir
tually inoperative ami possessed no
powers. The statute creating it does
not confer on the judge the authority
to incur any expense for probation
officers, and therefore cannot carry
out its mandates. The statute is still
further defective in that it confers
on tie juvenile court no jurisdiction
over crimes and misdemeanors com
mitCed by juveniles but gives the
court merely an advisory authority
In the opinion of competent lawyers
the law simply enlarges slightly the
powers of the Boys' and Girls' Aid so
ciety, and a three-line amendment to
the old law would have accomplished
all the new law does by altering the
powers of the county judge. The
discovery will be a disappointment to
those who advocated the measure
which was drafted with the intention
of having the Oregon juvenile court
practically the same as those in Colo
rado and California, where it has been
highly successful.

Eugene Register.
The Salem Statesman says: Now
that the Heney indictment mill is
through, let's see what the trials
bring forth. There have been a lot
of idiotic indictments - enough to
make it likely that the really guilty
ones will escape, on account of the
apparent anxiety to get even on the
part of the men back of Heney.
Josephine will join Jackson county
in the assessment reform work. At
a meeting of the county court last
week, an order was entered directing
the assessor to assess all property at
its full valuation which will have the
effect of at least doubling the total
assessed valuation of the county. This
order will practically have no effect
on the amount of taxes paid By the
property holders as the rate will be
reduced accordingly.

gQf CRIMINAL LAWS
AND AMENDMENTS
Salem, April 10 Twenty live crimi
nal laws, passed by the last Legislature,
will baootae effective Mav is. Some of

toxicating liquor is kept for sale. The
punishment provided is a line of $100 to
1000 Or imprisonment in the County
Jail three mouths to one year.
The penalties in this act are heavy
enough so tint saloon-keepers are not
likely to run anv risks. Under thede
cision of the courts, the fact that the
ssloon keeper was mistaken or deceived
in the person's age is no offense. The
art does not apply to any female ac
companied hy her husband or parent or
to any ojien and public restaurant or
dining-room. The act prohibits the
serving of liquor to minor females in
restaurant boxes.
No Subjects ia windows.
