Mr. Furnish Is in favor of continu
ing tho present unconstitutional and
unconscionable system of fees,
whereby the emoluments of state of
fice are swelled beyond all reason.
Mr. Chamberlain has attacked this
svstem. As a result, all tne oenenc
iarles of the present system arc for
Mr. Furnish and against Mr. Cham
bcrlain.
This is not a new nuestion. Pub
lic sentiment has long been strong in
favor of a reform in this matter. In
deed, it was so strong in 1894 that
tho republican party could not resist
n. ilnnlaratlon on the subject. It
promised reform of the fee system,
but it took Its own declaration in a
Pickwickian sonse. Now here is what
the republican platform of 1894 said:
"The offices of the adminstrattve
department of tho state have become
too expensive and their expenses
must be reduced. When the consti
tution fixes the salary only the con
stitutional salary shall be paid, with
out additional emoluments. The prac
tice of employing unnecessary clerka
and of paying fees in excess of just
payment for services needed or ren
dered has become an abuse that must
be cut off, and we pledge the republi
can party to prosecution and accom.
plishment of this reform."
Now this abuse has not been cor
rected or diminished in the slightest
degree. On the contrary, it has been
augmented. Mr. Chamberlain has
again pointed out these abuses. He
calls for their correction. But Mr.
Fulton, speaking for Mr. Furnish,
challenges Mr. Chamberlain's posi
tion. He contends that there is no
abuse. He thinks some $10,000 paid
to the secretary of state's office is
not too much and more than $10,000
paid that officer in fees over and
above his salary and expenses is no
body's business.
Now what did tho republican legis
lature do following the declaration ot
1894? A bill was introduced in the
house to carry out the pledge of the
republican party, "for the prosecu
tion and accomplishment of this re
form." But it did not include all the
state offices. Motion was then of
fered to render tho bill to a special
committee of five with instructions
to amend so as to include all state
officers, the committee to report back
the bill at 2 o'clock thnt day. Ths
motion was lost. A motion was then
made to recommit the bill witu in
structions to put the secretary of
state on salary of $4000 and treasurei
of state at $4000 and all fees pai- in
to the general fund of the state. This
motion was lost. A motion was then
made to indefinitely postpone tho
whole matter, and by a vote of the
republican house it was Indefinitely
postponed, and remains postponed tt
this day. All these proceedings may
be found in the house journal of
1895, pages 825 and 826.
So tho republican pledge of 1894,
designated to get votes and not to
be kont. was broken.
'But the question was not dead, but
only slept. The people know about
these illegal fees and are again de
manding relief. So in obedience to
that public sentiment which influen
ces platforms, both the republican
and tho democratic platforms of 1902
declare for the abolishment of these
fees and for flat salaries. Mr. Cham
berlain stands upon both these plat
lurms. iur. jmrnisn stands upon
neither. There is ttaiB muck crodit
duo Mr. Furnish: Thoy make no se
cret of their opposition to the re
publican platform on this BUbject.
They join issue with Mr. Chamber-
lain and by the same token, with the
republican convention. They go to
tho people with the frank avowal that
there is nothing wrong In theso fees,
and that Mr. Chamberlain's conten
tioa does not meet their approval and
'111 not receive their ofilclal sanc
tion. Every voter, therefore, who
votes for Mr. Furnish, or for Mr. Ful
ton for state senator must do so with
U.q understanding that theso gentle
men publicly proclaim their adhere-
ment to the fee system, and that an
election will justify them in retaining
it. They have wiped out the republl
can plank against fees, and are run
ning on a plank of their own, in fa
vor of fees. There is nothing strange
about this in the case of Mr. Furn
ish. He knows how It is himself.
This story has another chapter.
The Matthews party does not stand
unon the republican platform de
nouncing fees. It does not concern
itself about platforms, for it has a
spokesman to speak for it every day.
Its purposes and policies are found in
its organ, the Oregonlan, from day to
day. That paper of yesterday, speak
ing for the -Matthews legislative tick
et, says on this subject:
"It (the flat salary) might prove
the more economical way. It seems
certain however, that on this subject
the constitution is never to be obey
ed. The 'racket' about it that comeb
up periodically is mostly for election
purposes." xiiat is to say, tho Mat
thews ticket agrees with Mr. Furnisn
and Mr. Fulton that the republican
pledge was made for "election pur
poses." The Oregonian, therefore,
"advises people not to take too serf
ously the utterances of politicians
who are "working" this subject, pure
ly In the hope of making votes out o
it. Of course the Oregonlan has an
thority to speak for the Matthews
ticket, and it also quite frankly lets
people know that the Matthews tick
et, and It also quite frankly lets peo
pie know that Matthews works the
subject in his platform "in hopes of
making votes out of it."
But it has no authority to speak for
George Chamberlain or the fusion
ticket. These expect, indeed, to
"make votes out of it," but they also
intend to deserve them. At least we
have their solemn assurance that
they will try to abolish these fees, and
we also have the solemn assurance
of Mr. Furnish, through Mr. Fulton
who is making his campaign for him
that theso fees ought not to bo abol
is'hed and the solemn assurance of
the Oregonian that its Matthews
uckct is not expected to abolish
them. On tho doctrine of chances it
Is safer to stand with the man who
says that he is with you, rather than
with the man who "makes no bones
ot oeing against you. if you want
these fees retained, there is no dif
ficulty in finding the men to do it

i-enuieton, or., May 21. (To the
Editor) W. M. Blakloy is a candidate
for representative upon the democrat
ic ticuet and C. E. Macomber is op
posing candidate on tho republican
ticket. Mr. Biakley is a pioneer citi
zen of Umatilla county. His interests
have been identified with the inter
ests of tho county for a great many
years. His homo is here, his farm Is
aero, and for more than 20 years his
name has been upon tho tax rolls of
the county. Ho has during that time
contributed a handsome Sum nvorv
year to the general fund of tho coun
ty. Ho scarcely needs an introduc
tion.
