There never waa a time in the history
of this state when matters relating to
public expenditures, more especially as
they relate to the salaries of county of
fleers, received so much attention as
they do at present. An assessor who
must, to be worth anything, be a man
of good clerical ability and sound judge
ment, a man whom experience has made
- familiar with the valueB of all classes of
property, receives, in some counties, the
pittance of (3 a day, in this county $4,
and bears all the expenses incident to
traveling over the county on horseback
or in a conveyance, while in these same
counties the clerk and sheriff whose du
ties do not require anything like the
same talent and ability have incomes
often reaching up ' from five to fifteen
thousand dollars a year. A special law,
which ought never to have been on the
statute books, applies to this county
Through this law the clerk and sheriff
are entitled to add 33K per cent, to the
ordinary fees fixed by statute for the
whole state. That is to say, if these of
fleers perform a piece of work for the
county the price of which is fixed by the
general law at $100, the special law re
ferred to allows them to charge $33K
dollars more for it. The thing is a sim
ple outrage and m ust be abolished . The
ordinary fees are more ' than enough
without the ' added per centage. The
clerk and sheriff of this county receive
annually, from the already overbur
dened tax-payers, a sum of money, above
what would be a reasonable and ' fair
compensation, that cannot fall far ehort
of $10,000 a year. The thing is a mon
strous iniquity and demands that the
next legislators we send to Salem Bhall
pledge themselves to work for the re
peal of at least the special law or the
placing of these offices; like that of
assessor, on a fixed salary.
The democrats of - Umatilla county
have adopted a platform in which,
among other things, they demand an
equitable system of graduated tax on in
comes ; that congress take action to de
Vise some plan to obtain all lands now
'owned by aliens and foreign syndicates
and that all lands now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess of such
as is actually used and needed by them
be reclaimed by the goverment and held
for actnal settlers only. They declare
their opposition to national banks of
issue and affirm their belief that the
state should control all railroads and
other arteries of transportation with
due regard to the rights of the people,"
"whatever this last clause mav mean.
The tariff plank is about as noncommit
tal as it can possibly be and nothing in
- the world is said about silver coinage or
a substitute for the national bank circu
, lation it is sought to destroy. ; Possibly
these good brethern thought the nation
alization of railroads, the destruction of
national banks and the establishment of
a graduated income tax would be as
much as they could conveniently man
age during the next two years.
United States Commissioner of Labor,
Carroll D. Wright, in a late newspaper
article, says that the condition of the
wage-workers of this country, viewed in
all aspects "is better now than at any
previous period in oar history. He finds
that while wages have 'increased there
has been a general -decreased in the
hours of labor. He considers the situa
tion full of hope for the wage-earners
and that only one thing is needed to
promote the interest of labor, namely, a
wise and just regulation of foreign im
migration. The article from which this
language is quoted, appeared in the New
York World.
The Walla Walla local alliance has
sent a protest to the Washington dele
gation against the proposal to reduce
the duty on barley. These brothers
naturally think that American farmers
should have the privilege of raising their
own barley without competition from
the cheaper Canadian product, and they
are right. ;. .
Should James G. Blaine die of his
present troubles, the Post suggests as an
appropriate epitaph : "Killed by a Wo
man ;" and let posterity sum it up to be
either his wife or his daughter-in-law,
just as they have a mind to. "
A Qutr Pair of Eyes. .....
1 labor under the peculiar inconven
ience of having a right eye of normal
power and a shortsighted left eye. The
numerals on the face of a clock five
eighths of an inch high are visible
to the right eye twelve, feet distant,
bat In order to decern them as clear
ly with my left eye 1 require to bring
that organ of vision as near to the
figures as eight inches. On looking at
my gold chain hanging on my breast
in daylight and with both eyes, the
chain colored yellow and toward the
left is perceived by the - right eye. while
a steely blue chain, another, yet the
same, is perceived about one inch to the
right and a little higher up. By artificial
light the same phenomenon presents it
self, bat the difference of color is not so
apparent;, the yellow to the right is only
dimmer. : j -
Again, when a page is being read with
the shortsighted eye there appears,
about an inch to the left, part of the
same column, .small, and the black,
under artificial light, like weak purple.
The right hand side . of this ghostlike
column is tost to the right eye, being
commingled with the larger, darker let
ters seen by the shortsighted left, which
cover it like the more recent writing on
a palimpsest. Middle life was reached
before the discovery was made. These
experiences most be gone 'through with
intent, for objects generally being per
ceived altogether with the right eye, all
that the left seems good for is to supply
a little more light. The perception of
the difference of color is as good with
the one eye as the other, and the short
sighted eye can read . smaller - type.
