IT IS generally agreed that the county and city prisoners should be worked In preparing road ma terial. Much good and valuable work has been done is. this county during the past few years under this policy. Not ;only arethe prisoners employed,i which ; . Is beneficial to them physically and morally, bat the county gets I much good road ma terial at a' low cost, which is a great benefit to all the people. But because It was necessary un der this policy for the county com missioners' court to have charge of the prisoners, ' or such of them as were thus put to5 work, a bill was lobbied through the legislature giv ing the sheriff control of the prison ers, and in especial -giving him the. right to feed them.' This has always been a valuable perquisite enjoyed ' by the sheriff in excess of his salary. The referendum has been Invoked upon this law, and voters are aBked to sustain or veto it. - ..". The law gives the county court authority over the prlsuners to the extent of working them as the court may direct, which may be sufficient to allow the court to carry on the work as Inaugurated but the pro vision that "the price of meals fur nished prisoners shall be 12 cents each" is objectionable.; This may be less than some sheriffs have charged end been allowed, but it allows a margin tor quite a fat graft never theless. The county: court has dis covered that it can feed the working prisoners amply, on good . food, at 9 cents a meal ; , why then should sheriff be allowed ' to charge 12 cents a meal? This might amount to several dollars a day, no very big Item to the taxpayers, yet It is a per qulslte, a graft, that the flat salary law for county officers does not con template. The sheriff Is paid a sal ary of $4,500 a year, and this ought to be enough.' He should not take, nor be allowed to take, a dollar, pr a dime from the people for any pur pose or on any excuse, beyond ' that amount. He should feed the prison ers at actual cost. This Word will do,, if elected. . , The motive of the law was bad. - and the . method by which it was worked through the legislature was bad. The result of the vote on this ' law is' not a matter of very great , importance, in itself, yet the defeat of the measure will serve to en courage the policy of the use of pris oners by , county;; courts f for J road building purposes, will record the people's verdict in favor of flat sal aries only and no grafts, and. will discourage ' lobbying by sheriffs in future legislatures.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE r California's Steady Income. Portland, Hay 17. To the Editor of The Journal A few days ago Eugene Palmer, who represents that little band of gentlemen who are trying to put the unlyerslty of Oregon to sleep with dose of economic chloroform, attempted to refute the argument that "the. unl veraitv. la rettlnir alnnv on a nmnller income than any other state university nia contention, ne a report that ana oojmerlng u submitted aoma fTarurea from of the commissioner of education Is apparently, either several years be hind the times, or iromlv In error.

Thla does not Include extra sums that miarht be annronrlated for apecial building v and lmprovmenta. These figures ought to set Mr. Palmer's mind at rest about the 'amount actually received. .-' . T Now as to the amount of tha annual appropriation, which Mr. Palmer aBserts la but $300.000. ; In 1887 and 1897 the atate legislature enacted laws providing that I cents on every $100 assessed valuation of the property In tha atate noma be set aside "annually and con tlnually," maintenance.

Who else would have thought of mail ; a for ; unlveralt ihla makes a regular-biennial appro priation unnecessary and furnishes the university with about $860,000 annually i or expenses, ana wnen tne Han ran- Cisco fire reduced the assessed valua tion, and Jience the t-cent tax . income, the' 1907 lerlslatura- isrornptly--appropriated $101,314 to make nn th defi ciency. No misguided efforts- were made to block this appropriation. But the atate assistance does not atop here, forjn the 1907 session a number of bills were - Introduced and passed providing for' additional maintenance nd expenses for various departments, mounting to 3284.221; and In addition to all this, the 1907 session authorized the expenditure of $132,000 for equip ment and bulldlnrs at tha university farm, and gave the $101,114 referred to above for the deficiency on the 2-cent tax. No hod v undertook to crlnnle the efficiency of the university by blocking these bills, which footed up $517,535. They can be found Itemised on page 123 of the Chronicle referred to, Mr. Palmer say the university re ceives but $300,000 from the state of California,, while the official record hows the amount from the 2-cent tax above, including the deficiency appro priation, to e i3vu,uuu, in auaition to the 3416,221 extra appropriation. The official record la probahy correct. ' The 2-cent tax la a permanent In come, and goes to the university wheth er the legislature meets or not. It Is of the continuous sort that the local champions of Ignorance are fighting so hard, and - yet the Callfornlans seem glad that their university gets $280,000 a year from it, so glad that they make up the deficiency when there Is one, snd a tea land' values.'

In the general election J urge all believers in the. election of senators by direct vote of the people to loyally support and vote only for Statement No. 1 legislative sub- . sc rlbers." ' . This Is plain enough so far, bat Senator Bourne is credited with say ing further: "H. M. Cake, having received the Republican nomination for senator, should receive the loyal support of every Republican in the general election to be held t June X. A majority of the legislature will nnr doubtedly be represented by State ment No. ,1" subscribers, . hence the legislature must ' inevitably- elect whomever the people select ai their choice for senator." ,i-c.-..-. ::M '1 Which tempts one to inquirs: Is Senator Bourne also' among the po IHIcal acrobats and campaign jok r rs? He urges the election of State ment No. 1 candidates for the legis lature, regardless of party, and also the election of CakeK who stands in effect opposed to such candidates. Fenator Bourne- is taking a great deal for granted when he says that "undoubtedly" there win be a ma jority of . Statement No. 1 men in the if filature.

Open waterways would mean a saving of hundreds of millions an nually, and yet our horrible congress does nothing. JyecauseLCongressmen serve the railroads. The" railroads oppose open waterways. The people want them, urgently need thejn. Congress does what the railroads, not what the people, want. Mr. Ransdell said: Railroads are monopolistic corpor atlons, , owned, operated and con trolled for private gain. Competition over any given ; line Is impossible, because the roadbed belongs to the corporation.- Waterways are ;; free roadbeds, for the uBe and enjoyment of all the people. , Conditions for competition are perfect on them, and they can never be monopolized. No rate commission Is needed to fix freight rates on Improved water courses." 1 ;W8 ; quote , again: "Most of the great annual expenditures of our government are like the rain falling on the parched saads of the desert, only to disappear and leave no trace behind. But waterway Improvements are Investments which will last for ever." The $8,000,000 expended oh Boston harbor cheapened ocean rates 100 percent to western grain grow ers and, southern cotton growers. This country . is far behind ; several European countries and even Canada in improvement of its waterways. Washington appreciated their " value and said 1210 years ago "Would to uou we may nave tne wisaoiu, to Improve .them." Bui ilvasnlngton had no. nmnhftf Iti IntlmnHmi ' if -fna character of the sixtieth congress. Not only is water transportation much- cheaper, but railroads cannot in many, cases handle the products; we cannot continue to compete with France and Germany in the world's markets ; without v improved.'- water ways; much" of" our business' is likely to go to Canadian ports; because of canals that country is building; the Panama ; canal will , make improved waterways still more necessary. : , , Mr.- Ransdell then criticised very temperately the government's policy of , transferring' engineers so i, fre quently., ioung men just graduated from West Point"- are sent out . to work on Important projects where they are kept one or- two- years, then sent to a place where the work is totally ' different. 7 This Is educational for them, but the people get poor results. It will take a good engineer 20 years of study to, master a single large psoject , A sample of the government's system is the Ohio A vote for Chamberlain is a blow at machine politics. He is the em bodlment of anti-machine methods His appeal is hi ways to the people direct, just as is that of Roosevelt They are the court of Chamberlain's last resort; and to which he has never turned In rain.;. There is no middleman, no big or little boss be tween him and the people. vThe deal ing is direct, in the open, and heart to heart. .' . :. .V Aldrich succeeded in defeating the proposed tobacco tax, in return for which the tobacco trust could afford to give him, a large fee. But a lot of other senators who adhere to the party, of "historic principles" stood in .with him; what will they get? The eastern Oregon organs that are, bringing ' out the "free wool scare-crow 3 must be pretty badly scared Indeed.
