W CORVALLiS GAZETTt Published Tuesdays and Fridays by Gazkttk Publishing Company:' Sabscription per year, in advance, $1.50. if not in advance, per year, $2.00. . NEW METHOD NECESSARY. - There should be a remedy adopted regarding the introduc tion of bills in our legislature so that each item of appropriation . shall stand on its merits regard- less of other items in the bill. It seems that tne liovernor nowiuuc was u luc lu"mai-luc feels it his duty to veto certain' bills appropriating necessary money to carry on departments of the state government, while the merits of other items "in the bill are contrary to his views of ! propriety. The Governor feels obliged to veto the whole bill, including the portion he deems proper as we'll as that he deems improper. Our state government was .formed upon the plan of having distincjt departments, including the exec utive, judicial and legislative, including two branches of the legislature This co-ordinate sys tem of government is intended so that if the legislative body shall pass a law not conductive to the public good that the .Gov ernor mav veto the same, and if he should also malce a mistake, thereafter, the courts may passi upon the law. It has become a practice "for legislatures to endeavorto circum vent the Governor from exercis ing his privileges by combining two or more measures in one bill, so as tq make the meritorious part : thereof carry the obnoxious one through, thinking that the Gov ernor would prefer to let the whole become a law. rather than . veto the belter provisions in the bilb; This practice of nullifying the powers of the executive occurs occasionally in 'the congress of t lie United States,' as well as ;our state legislature- A practice sub' verting ,the powers of free gov - eminent. OUR SYSTEM APPROVED. Mr.Mulhall, of the Royal Socie ty of. London, in his "Balance Sheet of the World," says: "It would be impossible to find in history a parallel to the progress of the United States in the last ten years. - . "Every day that the sun rises upon the American people it sees an addition of two and a half million dollars to the accumula tion of wealth of the Republic, which is equal to one-third of the daily accumulation of all man kind outside of the United States. -" 1 '" Prince Bismarck, of Germany, said: "The success of the Unit ed States in material ; develop ment is the most illustrious of .modern times, ; The American nation has not only successfully borne and suppressed : the most gig?ntic war of all history, buj; immediately afterwards disband ed its army, found work for all its soldiers and marines, paid off most of its debts, give labor and homes to all thcumenployed of Europe as fast as they could arrive in the territory, and still by a system of taxation so indi rect as not to be preceived, much less felt. Because of its delibr erate judgment that the pros perity of America is mainly due to its system of protec tive laws, I urge that' Germany has now reached thatrpoint where it is necessary to imitate, the tariff; system "of the , United states." ,. , .: So we find thatihe great men of other nations approve the pro tective tariff system of the Unit ed States and desire to place the affairs of their own country on the same basis. Another Blaze. v Shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday evening pur citizens were apprised of the danger of fire by the sound of the bell. The department re-i sponded in short order and ascer tained that the . scene " of action was-at the b6me. of John Smith, just west f the Opera House. I', Just back; of Mr, Smith's resi- idence stands a little building that j was originally intended for a fruit ; house. Of Jate it has been oc- cupied bv an OAC student who was doing chores morning and evening for Mr. and Mrs. . Smith in return for his board while at tending ' college. Tust how the fire originated, is not known but it is supposed that a lamp which was burning in the .single room of the little house,' exploded. No as it was the supper hour., ; Residents' at the home of Vic tor Moses were perhaps the first to discover the fire, and their, cries were instantly echoed by some one who came out of Mr. Smith's residence. 1 That i was a hot lit tle blaze ior a time is attested by many, v, The fire was under con trol before it could burn: through to the outside of the house. Everything in the room was licked up. by the flames and the student, Cecil Bartlett, lost every thing he had clothes, books, etc. all gone. It was a" hard blow to the young man and will also cause Mr. Smith some outlay of monev. : "Stories of Old Oregon.' The above is the title of a book just published by Geo. A. Wag- goner, . ot tnis city. It is irom Statesman Publishing Co-s' press, of Salem. ' It is very attractively bound and .contains 2QV pages. There are about twenty illusl ra tions and they are exquisite; the first is a view of Mt. Hood and the last is a sunset on the Pacific ocean. 'All of the others are most actractive and give support to the subject matter. V , s There are four chapters of "Adventures in the Mines," and to one who has experienced the trials and adventures of a miner they present' scenes in a way that read like personal experiences, so familiar is it all.V In this vein Mr. Waggoner is ferfecty at home, as he himself bas lived through it all and knows of the hopes and fears which beset the .miner; knows only too well the hard ships and disappointments that he who would wrest treasure from the bosom of - "Mother Earth" innst endure; and he also knows the hear t-ache and bitterness that he . who has had "hard luck" must suffer., All this is made exceedingly plain. . But there is another side to the book; the-' love of home and friends is ,v portrayed and proves the author 4o be very apprecia tive of the ' comforts arid enjoy ments of domestic life. ' To make this clear we ;will presently quote from one of the tales entitl ed, "How Captain Dobbins was Promoted. 3 After reciting the fact that he went to the mines buoyed by , the thought of the money he would make, the author proceeds to make clear why he was so eager for money. , He wanted ; to purchase a certain farm; he.; had long east his eye upon. The fol lowing proves his appreciation of home life: , "My'designs on this farm were kept strictly private. Only once, before leaving home, had they been told ins.a burst of confidence to ; one.' whom I' trusted would sympathize with my hopes and encourage my daring ambition. I did notv mistake her as it seem ed an easy thing to her for me to dig a little gold, from the ground, return, buy as much land . as we wanted, and make all, improve ments we might think necessary. Her " trusting nature could not think it possible for me to fail in any undertaking, and she imme diately began to straighten up the little farm herself. - Her first work was to pull down a crooked fence and burn the rickety woodshed. It was wonderful how much bet ter everything looked after . she had talked five minutes." v'; And so on with many tales of life interest-!-all absorbing and demanding close attention. -; Mr. Waggoner has a right to feel proud of his book, ."and the fact that there is an advance sale of 500 copies is sufficient guarantee that the author has many friends and acquaintances who have felt sure of a good book even before it was born. We congratulate Mr. Waggoner and rejoice in his suc cess.'.- '" , , HOW IS THIS? An offer to make you come up stairs and see us. .. New Mainspring (none better), $1.00. ' .
