TriE COHVALLIS GAZtTTE Published e wayr Tuesdy smJ slay by tko GAZETTE PUSUSHMG GO. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, l03. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Governor Chamberlain is still hesitating over the question of an extra session to settle the matter of the state taxation. A decis ion will probably be rendered very soon. The principal im pediment in the way is the ques tion of expense, as the session will cost at least $20,000. Add to this the expense of special elections to fill vacancies in the two .-branches of the legislature, and a formidable bill rolls up caused by the stupidity of the men who will draw pay for work to correct their own blunders. Then again comes the possibility of the repeal of the new law, and the re-enacting of the old. The new law eliminates the tax dodging practices, and makes collections easier. The new law has manv improvements on the old, and will be a good thing for the state. If a good part ot the wisdom that arranged it had been spent in making it effective, it would have been better for the country. By all means, gentle men of the legislature, stand by the new law. Western Oregon is promined a linen factory, by Eugene Bosse. at Salem. There will be several scutching mills built at different points m the Willamette valley; by Mr. Bossee, next year. The money is ready, and the construc tion of the linen factory wilj de pend largely upon the co-operation of the farmers. If they will raise plenty ot flax for Mr. Bosse,' the linen mill will be built next year As flax is a profitable crop to raise, it would seem that Mr. Bosse ought not to have any trouble to get plenty of it to keep busy as large a linen mill as he wants to build. For the com munity, an acre of flax worked into linen will be the best that canf be raised. It will , yield many" hundreds of dollars,' to be brought from abroad and expend ed here. It oiten happens that a hop crop yields $500 or more to the acre. Counting the manu facturing of it here, a flax crop will do much better. The hops are mostly sent away to be turn ed into their commercial products at other points in this country or in foreiern lands. -Pacific Home- . stead. . There has been so many ap plications for catalogues of the the O. A. C. this year, and the demand, still continuing, that it has been found necessary to print an extra edition, and it is now going through the press. F,ami lies who have boys and girls growing up, are looking ahead and examining the facilities offer ed. bv the different educational institutions for a higher educa tion, and the inevitable result will be fuller classes in the O. A C. in the future. Our college is a growing institution, - and a credit to our city and state. It remains for our city to make it self a credit to the College. Through, the , lault ot her own citizens, Corvallis has just re ceived a black eye that will cling to her for years. All over the Coast and the East the name of "holy-roller Corvallis" has been fastened on our town and all that will be remembered of the episode, after the usual ten days wonder, will be the sensational story, highly magnified and per verted, that "Corvallis is the place where the people make a practice" of offering up cats and dogs as burnt offerings." Truly a good reputation for Corvallis citizens to take pains to spread over the country. We are glad that the Gazette had no hand in the dirty work. The blame is not to the fanatical crowd, who : probably sincerely believe that in their present practices only can they achieve salvation for their souls. The fault is in the early education that makes such errors possible. Let our schools teach family love, respect for law and public order, love of freedom, and reverence for truth, with ' the cardinal principle of brotherly love in its truest sense, and you have grounded the youth of the. land in the fundamental principles that form a foundation broad and deep, that will make such episodes as' the present one impossible.
