Late this : afternoon President Don

the strike had been called before the

FLAT SALARY ACT
Feats Jy Solons;, Whose Party! ''De
mandedlfhat Stale : Be Protected
Indicate Hard. Time For Bill. '"
Indications are already apparent that a
flat salary law will not be. enacted by
the next legislature without oppoaltlon.
Naturally all the influence that can be
exerted by the beneficiaries of the pres
ent system will be used to defeat such
legislation, and they will probably have
the covert If not- the open aid of the
Republican machine. A mouthpiece has
been found in the Oregonlan. which has
editorially declared Itself opposed to s
flat salary-law, advancing the ahallow
pretext that the salaries can be legally
changed' only , by. a 'constitutional amend
ment o by. the Adoption of a new con
stitution.' -
The . purpose of Jhls . suggestion is
palpable. If resort la to be had either
to a constitutional amendment or to a
new constitution) there can be ne relief
for St reast two years from the extrav
agant system now in vogue. Jf action
by the next legislature can be averted,
state officials now In office will con
tinue to enjoy their excessive emolu
ments for the rest of their terms. This
means an expenditure of at least 854.000
of the people's money over and above- a
fair and reasonable . compenaatlon - for
the services rendered. Obviously it Is
to the interest of the people that these
officials 'should be placed upon a flat
salary baals as quickly as possible, and
this can be done next January.
Constitution Merely fixes p'-'-w
The absurdity of the argument that
the only remedy lies In a change In
the constitution scarcely, needs demon
stration. Some of the most distinguished
lawyers and jurists of the state have
expressed - the opinion, that there Is no
legal bar . to the enactment of a flat
salary law and that the constitutional
provision fixing the salaries of state of
ficials merely establishes a minimum

Ex-Oovernor Lord hss always been a
