THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Governor Chamberlain's message in
dicates that the new executive pur
poses looking after the Interests of the
ctate. He has pointed out a large num
ber of defects in our present laws, and
there is every reason to believe that the
legislature will rectify some of the er
rors that have crept In during the past
10 or 12 years.
Most striking, perhaps. Is that sec
tion of the message which has to do
with state valuations. According to
Governor Chamberlain, the assessed
valuation of property in Oregon has de
creased from 1160,000,000 in 1SS2 to H18,
00,000 In 100. This decrease has been
due, of course, to the effort of the as
sessor of the various' counties to avoid
payment of their Just portions of the
tax levied for the maintenance of the
state government. The last legislature
adopted a new method of state taxa
tion calculated to correct the evil here
tofore existing, but so long as the pres
ent school tax system Is in vogue valu
ations will be down ridiculously low.
The absurdity of the situation arising
from our taxation system is apparent
when cognizance is taken of the as
sessed valuation of Astoria property
11,600,900! A new bill looking' to equit
able assessment for school purposes
has been presented, and ought- to be
passed. ,'
Governor Chamberlain recommends
an inheritance tax and a tax on foreign
corporations, and the idea is a good
one. His suggestion that our convict
labor should not be allowed to compete
with free labor is likewise timely. All
executions should, as he says, -take
place in the state penitentiary, and rad
ical changes are needed in the law reg
ulating the manner in which prisoners
and insane persons are transferred to
the state institutions.
The establishment of a bureau of la
bor is one of the most important rec
ommendations offered by the new ex
ecutive. Oregon has had few labor
contentions of serious proportions, and
In the future wants less. The way to
prevent strikes is to Inaugurate a sys
tem that will obviate them. We can
not make too early a start in this direc
tion, and a labor commissioner will
prove of great benefit to the people of
the state.
All of us hav met the man who
never has a good word to say of any
onewho finds no virtues in his fellows.
Observation would lead to the conclus
ion that this grouchy individual Is in
editorial control of the Oregonian. In
its Issue of yesterday it comments on
the accession to authority of Governor
Chamberlain, who comes in for the
most contemptible ridicule. "He
drinks" says the Oregonian, which then
proceeds . to- square Itself by saying,
"Well, that's nothing." "We have no
fight on Chamberlain," It avers, and
again makes amends by stating that he
Is a popultstic Bryan ite who would
hesitate net an Instant to strike at the
vitals of the government that has
reared him. "He will get fair treat
ment from this paper," it continues,
and then goes on to speculate at. long
distance on the dire results that would
folio..' the naming of a Unlte'd States
senator by the new governor should a
vacancy occur. Here is a lack of pat-
rlotlsin that deserves the condemna
tlon Hf every man, woman and child
in the sute of. Oregon. ,(Jeorge K.
Cha tjtle Jain was elected chkf exec-U'
tivey 'he people' of Oregon, and as
the head of their state government is
entitled to the respect of every honest
citizen. He is known, to be honorable
and Conscientious, and for any paper
to prematurely Question the record that
he Is'to make is to offer an insult ,to the
intelligence of the people' and their
chosen representative. Governor
Chamberlain's message has the ring
of honesty about It, and it is brutal to
Intimate that his administration will
aot terminate satisfactorily. He Is a
democrat, but Is this any reason why
he should be openly Insulted? The Ore
gonian' lack of loyalty is what breeds
anarchy. It should be thoroughly
ashamed of Itself. Governor Cham
berlain is our governor, and we purpose
to do evarything in our power to assist
Mm In enforcing the law of the state
and safeguarding the interests , of the
people. Partisanship ended with the
counting of the vote, and It Is the ptt
riotie duty of every Oregonlan to up
hold the deelslou of the majority.
When Editor Watterson gets his
warpaint on there Is much diplomacy
required to get him to wash it off and
take to the pipe of peace, says the Ta
coma Ledger. A while ago he attacked
that peculia modal freak known as the
40. and he is still after it. The mem
bers of the organisation are not pleas
ed. Dearly a slhey love notoriety
thev want It always coupled with
praise. The plain truth Is, there is
nothing in their roaduct to pralsi
They are a lot of loafers not even pic
turesque. Mr. Watterson has been ex
1-osing the low oondition of their morals
and their tntlHns. and as the facts
stare them In the face they cannot help
recoenttlon. and pain follows. Some
of the NVw fork papers come to the
rescue of the afflicted, but only with
the effect of setting a share of the ed
itorial lira. The plea la put forward
for the 400 that they are a class apart,
not subject to ordinary rules of conduct
and that they are of no Importance
anyhow except that they are spectacu
lar. This is not a good plea. The
band Is made up of gilded loafers and
In a country where the, acquisition of
wealth is placed among virtues, those
who have acquired it to the extent that
they have nothing to do but contrive
new methods for displaying idiocy can
not be permitted to escape the public
eye and public opinion. When men
have no more profitable employment
than being the fellow guests of a
monkey at a swell dinner; when women
leaving a ball wade through the basin
of a fountain just to get a new sensa
tion, they will have to accord to ob
servers the privilege of calling them
fools. The world is so constituted
that there is no place for the idle. The
people under consideration are idlers,
every one. They have no decent am
bitions. They have not the sense to!
employ their means with discretion.
Ordinary amusements pall. The peo
ple sink naturally to a low plane.
When they are espied at this plane,
and somebody calls attention to the
circumstance that they are there, they
gat angry about it. Editor Watterson
does not care.
The "Prosperity Edition" of the Ta
coma News is without question the fin
est annual number ever issued in the
northwest. It is of 68 pages, hand
somely illustrated; an advertisement
for the City of Destiny that will prove
invaluable. The vast resources of this
northwest 'country are set forth in an
attractive manner, and the annual
ought to have general circulation in
the middle and eastern states, for It
will do much to create Interest In the
golden states of Washington and Ore
gon. The News annual is the result
of careful work, and the management is
to be congratulated on the success of
its efforts.
