THE INDEPENDENT.. THURSDAY FEB. 1C, 1888 GERMAN ADOPTED CITIZENS IN GERMANY. The following communication ap pears in the San Francisco Examiner: Believing that it ia my duty to inform my countrymen how the German government is treating a naturalized citizen from America when he returns to his native land on a visit, I desire to say to all who may happen to see this that it is hardly worth while to spend the money in traveling. I left Lincoln, Placer county, August 25, 1887, arriving in my native place in North Schleswig on the 16th of September. I was home only two days when I had to go before the officers and give a full account of myself, my business in this country and regarding all ray relatives. After taking my American citizen papers and sending them to the government in Schleswig, I was allowed to return home, but in a few days I received notice to leave the country by the 15th of November, and if I failed to follow the injunc tion I would be arrested. I then bad a lawyer write out an application to Berlin to sea if I could not fret a few months more, but all of no use. Still I could not see how the German government could have any claim upon me. I left Schleswig when I was only a boy fourteen years old, and have resided in this country about eleven years. I merely write this for the benefit of other Germans who may wish to visit their native land. It is not worth the time and going to so great an expense just for the fun of having Bismarck telling them to get out. Walter Jansen. Lincoln, Placer county, Jan. 23d From the following it would ap pear that Cleveland has at least won over Henry George by his proposed tariff reform: Mr. Cleveland has set his face clearly in the direction of free trade. The length or num ber of steps is not of so much im portance as that a step has been taken. President Cleveland is even now in advance of his party and has made an issue. It cannot be dodged or evaded. I am with the administration and opposed to a third party presidential candidate as long as the administration and the democratic party tend toward free dom. I have strong belief that President Cleveland is a more rad ical man than his party or even his message, and that he will at the opportune moment take a stride that will make his last advance look insignificant. A young German lady came to America last spring and married a Mr. Adolph Mueller of Buffalo During the honeymoon they visited a crematory and she made Adolph promise to have her cremated when she died. Well, time sped and she died the other day and left sealed directions requiring her husband to not only cremate her, but send her ashes to Germany, to be sprinkled on the grave of a young man to whom she was engaged before Adolph crossed her path. It is said that Mr. Mueller showed a some what unrespectable haste in gettin her into the oven. It is claimed that under the pres ent system of exorbitant charges for pilotage and towage on the Col umbia and Willamette rivers be tween Portland and the ocean, it costs $5000 more to load a vessel with wheat at Portland than at Ta- coma. This great wrong should be corrected at once. If such man agement is continued long Tacoma will wrest from Portland a great branch of her commerce and farmers will rejoice at Portland's dismay. There is an end to tolerance. President Johnson was abused for the purchase of Alaska as much as Jefferson was for the purchase of Louisiana. The price paid was $7, 200,000. The Alaska Commercial company has already paid about $5,000,000 in seal rents for the isl ands of Sa. Paul and George, and the production of the territory last year ia officially stated to have been in furs, $2,500,000; gold, $1,350, 000; fish, $3,000,000; lumber, etc., $100,000. Total, $6,950,000. Alta. If the retention by Portland of the wheat shipping business of the northwest depends upon schemes so visionary as the conferting of a rail way corporation into a charitable society, the Oregonian may as well acknowledge the beginning of a per manent decline of Portland's ship ping interests and set to work in a rational way to maintain the present commercial ascendency of that city. Tacoma Ledger. Thirty-eight widows of the revo lutionary war are yet living. The youngest is Mrs. Nancy Green. She was born in 1818, or thirty-five years after the close of the war. She must have married a very old soldier. The time for holding the legis lative sessions in Washington ter ritory has been changed to the sec ond Monday in January, directly following the November elections. SCHULZE ON PUBLIC LANDS. A late Washington dispatch says: Paul Schulze, land agent of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, appeared, by request, before the house committee on public lands to day, and expressed hia opinion in regard to this bill being framed changing the land laws of the country. He said public lands should be divided into four classes : First, timber lands; second, agricul tural lands; third, grazing lands, and fourthly, mineral lands. As to tim ber lands, he held that the govern ment should sell timber by stump age, retaining title to the land, which might afterwards be sold. As to grazing land, he recommended that the government lease all graz ing lands, subject, however, at any time to homestead entry. Agricul tural lands he thought should be subject to homestead only. He rec ommended no change in regard to mineral lands. Mr. Schulze spoke for an hour, and hia views were lis tened to with great attention. Mr. Schulze 's reasoning is logical, and will find many supporters. But he should have gone farther and recommended that in case timber was sold from lands, or, they were leased for grazing purposes, the pro ceeds should be retained in a com mon fund to be used in making roads and other improvements so soon as such lands were occupied by settlers in sufficient number to justi fy such expenditure. The Boston Iraveller very perti nently reminds the voters of the country that every prophesy made by the republican party, through its leaders in 1884, in case a demo cratic administration was elected, has been fulfilled. They predicted that the tariff duties would not be reduced, and that is true. They said there would be no retrench ment. They were correct in that. They said democrats would not wipe out the surplus. They have not. They said before the end of Cleve land's terra, if he was elected, the principal offices of the country would be in democratic hands, and a clean sweep, except where the law prevented, would show the doctrine of spoils re-established on the Jack Bonian system. This ia the record at this moment, and a worse one, so far as the civil service reform is con cerned, could not be imagined. Colenel Kinney is dead. He died at Norwich at the age of ninety-five. He had the honor of being the founder of the system of brokerage in America, out of which has grown the stock exchange and other meth ods and devices for dealing in paper securities. How prophetic are the words of the immortal Grant: "Whenever the democratic party comes near to complete coutrol of the country, it will break its back across the Alle ghany mountains on the tariff question." rmLic ROADS. Forest Grove, Or., February 3, 1938. Editor Independent: While the av erage politician is making out the high way that shall lead to success and the average farmer is discussing on the mis erable condition of the roads, I thought I would enjoy pitching into roads bo ily, not with a spade but the end rabcr. it is evident tnat our fojjjis jrre not what we wish they were.-myrliere is any truth in the law of demand and supply, there ought to be some way ef meeting this long-felt want. Undoubt edly a great improvement might be made under our present system (?) for many of our supervisors are twin brother of the Arkansaw traveler In the summer the roads don't need repairing; in the win ter they can't be repaired; but it is n our purpose to-day to criticise the roads or our road supervisor, but to suggest some improvements in the road laws. My first idea is that the road super visors should be elected by the people of the district, and serve two years. With out any criticism of the present or any past county court, I believe that the peo ple of any district know best who will serve their wants in sluiost any place. As to time for which a super viior should lie elected, I think all observing persons will agree with me in saying that as a matter of fact, a part of every supervis or's work consists in undoing what his predecessors have done. A supervisor lays a foundation for doing some work, which, while it will be useful if finished, may for the present lie a positive injury to the road. He is, by lack of available labor, prevented from finishing the work in one year. His successor, an equally intelligent man, may live in another part of the district and think that some other improvement is more pressing, may practically undo what his predecessor has done and get another job on hand in the same shape. The case where the new official carries out the plans ot the retiring supervisor is the exception and not the rule. Again, if by chance the people should elect a poor siipervisor.the district can put up with him for two years and then elect a better. On the other hand, a man needs often two years to show whether he is good or not, and tf found worthy, it will not, as a rule, be hard to re-elect him; so it aeeins to me that two years is about the right term for which to elect a supervisor. Second : I would have a general su pervisor elected for the whole or half of the county. This official should have a general supervision of the work of the district supervisors. It has been sug gested that it would be well to combine this with the duties of some of our present officials. Some suggest the county surveyor. My own idea is that a better way would be for the county commissioners to apportion this work among themselves, and that the law should make it part of their duty to do so. Still, whether this general supervis or is specially elected or the duties are devolved upon some other official, there is a necessity for such an official that there may be uniformity and system ia work throughout the county. It would be desirable if this official could be one f experience in road work and could hold his office for about four years. If he be specially elected, I see no reason why it might not be required that he be elected from the retiring district super visors, and in that way wc could have a reasonable assurance of a good official. Third: I would do away with the present system of working out taxes, and have the taxes reduced and paid in cash at the same time other taxes are paid. I am fully aware that there are many ad vantages in the present law, but I think the disadvantages of the present plan far outweigh the advantage!. It is patent that a man who makes a business of doing a thing, can do more effective work than one who works at it for a day or two. It is too often the case that men who go out to work a road, only try to kill time, rehears neighborhood gossip, and do as little work as possible, at least the American Agriculturist says that is the wav thev do in New York state. Of course it's only a little so in Oregon . am satisfied that two-thirds of the pres ent road tax would do more work than can I done nnaer the- present plan; in other words, one hundred dollars in cash would do more work than one hundred days' work as now put in. Fourth: Instead of having all the road money apportioned in proportion to the taxable property in the district, I would have only half of it so distributed ; the other half I would have distributed in proportion to the road mileage in each district . In other words. If the total number of miles of road in a coun ty were five hundred, and one district had fifty miles of road, it would receive one-tenth of the total road tax, even if there were not a taxpayer in the district. Tins ruijjht seem to some unfair, but I think that people who go out into the wood and open up new settlements de serve to have help from the wealthier parts of the county. And often it ia quite as essential to other communities that a road should be kept up as to the people in the district. Take, for in stance, the Taylor's bridge road, which, from the bridge northeast to the county line, is traveled more by people outside the district than in it. The same may be said of the I'eedville. Wilkin, Ne- halera and a number of other roads in this county. I think in the few items alove named, our present law might be improved, and am not certain but the law might be im proved in other respects; and would re spectfully invite criticism on this, and further suggestions in this line, as only by a full and honest discussion can we arrive at the best results.
