THE TREASURER'S JWSTXESS.
"We would like to ask Judges
2sorihup and Gray b' what authority
the assume to take charge of the
matter of the state's taxes and the
county treasurers' business. The
latter gentleman is the one to decide
what shall be done with the money
coming into his hands and belonging
to the state, and Judge Northnp is
assuming considerable responsibility
in advising the count' treasurer to
commit a crime. The law provides
that the county treasurer shall pay
over the money tc the state at given
times. It provides a penalty for his
not doing so. consisting of a forfeit
ure of 20 per cent of the amount for
withholding it ten days, and if with
held thirty days, it says the county
treasurer so doing shall be consid
ered a defaulter.
In the light of these facts it strikes
us Judge Noi thup is-posing for effect,
playing to the galleries, and "talking
for buncombe." Between the advice
of Judge Jsorthup to violate the law,
and the convenient doors of the pen
itentiary, the county treasurers will
not have much diflicuity in making
choice.
"We heartily agree with the Orego
n inn's position on the new tariff bill,
and that is that it should avoid ex
tremes, and be framed on lines that
will not compel another change. A
heavy tariff on wool will arouse in
tense opposition, while a duty of five,
six or seven cents a pound would
perhaps be allowed to stand hided
nitel'. "While this would not be en
tirely satisfactory to most of the
sheepmen, who are asking twelve
cents, we believe it would be best
for them in the long run, because it
would not be tampered with soon,
and they would be able to do busi
ness on a known basis. If a tariff
bill can be framed that will provide
for the expenses ot the government
without creating a surplus, it will
probably be let alone, and business
having an unlluctuating basis on
which to work, will steadily improve.
jNIost uf the ultra-protectionists see
this, ami concede the propriety of
making a moderate, and as far as
possible, equitable tariff bill.
The stockmen are making a vigor
ous contest against the closing of im
mense areas of government land by
the establishing of forest reservations.
There is another phase of the propo
sitions that seems to us at least as
serious as the denial of the rights of
pasturage, and that is the shutting of
these vast areas to the prospector
and miner. Every opportunity
should be given to the hardy and
self-denying prospector in his search
for the precious metals, and congress
should at once provide for them by
permitting the use of timber, rights
of way for ditches and roads, and a
simple and speedy means of acquir
ing title to mineral lands. Tn the
reserves just established in Washing
ton many . claims have been located
and much money expended in pros
pectjng them. To deprive these
men of their rights is worse than
highway robbery.
The big j,mo light at Carson was '
n failure lliiuiiciully. Only about j
'00 people from the 'East attended !
it, and California furnished less than i
1,000. .So after all it was almost a j
local affair.
Corbctt says ho may not bo as
good n man as FiUsimnions, but ho
is a better actor. That is something I
to be proud of to bo certainly, j
There nre ninny reasons why the
Hawaiian islands should he annexed
to tho United States, or at least that
this government should assume some
kind of n protectorate over them.
To our mind the most urgent reason
for this course, and one all-suflicient,
is that unless this is done the next
! twenty years will sec them in control
of the Japanese. That enterprising
nation is rapidly colonizing the lsl
nnds, and it is only a question of
time until it controls them. This
government cannot afford to allow
this. "We have as man' Chinese and
Japs in this country now as we can
stand, and wo want their settlements
no nearer our shores. The "Pearl
of the Pacific" would prove the
brightest gem in the diadem of the
republic, and the sooner it is firmly
affixed therein the better.
"Wasco county presents, we be
lieve, more varied and better oppor
Utilities for those desiring to make
themselves homes than any other
section of the state; and simply be
cause her resources are more varied.
She has vast stock ranges, great
wheat fields, thousands of acres of
the very best fruit lands, magnificent
fishing industries, unlimited water
power, a wealth of timber, and, we
believe firmly, immense bodies of
coal. "What more could any one
ask?
