Only a few days more and an elect
ion will ho held at which, among
other amendments, will bu one n
the increase of tho salaries of state
ofllcers, It is a well Unowu fact that
the salaries of the state ofllcers arc
unreasonably low; that it is not good

MRS. J. C. SUMMERS, UNION, OREGON,
-DEALER 1N-
unlvoivul belief that if we desire to
tcf'ure talent, ability, sound judgment
and indexible honesty wc must pay
for it. First chiss'ability ami talent arc
not generally purchased for s sonir,
but (hat. is about the price paid by our
own state to most of its public ser
vants. Fifteen hundred dollars a year
for tho Governor of tho great and
growing Sta'e of Oregon, and for
that it is expected to get the best in
the market. It may get the best off
ered, but competency and fitness will,
at this age of our state, s piosperity,
stand aside and let some ambitious
mediocre step up and Rent himself up
on tho Gubernatorial lustrum.
There was a time when the present
salary of state olllccrs was sullleicnt
for the times', when tho stale was llrsl
organized and for vears afterwards it
would not have been good economy to
have lai'ges salaries. Now the state
has grown in importance and has as
sumed a rank among her sister states
of which we, her people, have a right
to justly feel proud. Oregon is bo
coming more prosperous as a state
everyday, and in the ratio that her
prosperity increases, so docs her im
portance, and measures which affect
the whole state in tho same ratio will
arise and demand thorough o.xecutivi
iiliilifv, and based upon broad and
liberal views. This, in the natural
eonrso of things, will call for broad,
liberal minded men, seasoned with
sulllcicnt acnlencss to stay tho wheels
at the proper point. This class of
men will never seek tho honors of
olllco for the paltry inducements held
out bv the state. ro aro aware that
there aro some objections to tho legis
lature of the State being given the
power of voting these salaries to suit
themselves; hut a remedy might be
made to this by an increase in tho pay
of senators and representatives, mak
ing their salary eight dollars per day
instead of the pitiable sum of three
dollars. The same reasoning will
apply to those who would accept leg
islative honors as to those who would
accept tho position of our state o Ulcers
if pecuniary inducements wero sullici
cnlly great to make it a source of in
come, Men whoso timo and ability
aro worth $11,000 or 51,000 a year aro
not going to sacritlco their business
ii i id accept honors and a large amount
of responsibility for half that sum.
"'c hopo the olection on this amend
ment will be in favor of it.
Upon the amendment, for the time
of holding elections, changing the
time I'roui Juno to November, we
think it also should carry. It is a
large J expense every four year to
hold a separate olection lor presi
dent, ltuth elections could be had at
tho srtuo timo and the greater portion
of tho espouse of tho election be saved.
"Wo do not believe that county and
s'ato interests would bo so completely
swallowed up in tho presidential race,
that the welfare of either state or
county would he placed in such jeop
ardy as to the render tho amendment
if carried an objuctioual font mo in the
election laws. Wo believe tho work
In;.' In this respect would ho tho re
verse of this, and wo hope to see tho
amendment carried.

Tho Statu Grunge of California is

session was recently brought to ti close

decision for
which the people of the State ought to
be truly thankful, more especially as
the circuit ociirt of Miiltuumuh comity
is thereby reversed, and u most dang
erous doutriue reprimanded by the
highest State judicial tribunal.
Vyriclly, Swnceney sued MeLcod for
services as a lobbyist in tho last legis
lature, and was awarded the sum ol
$281. The jury which tendered such
a verdict, and the judge which allow
ed it to stand, must have had a very
low estimate of the people of this State,
and of the. obligation of the legislators;
but on the other hand all people of
any moral pcreption whatever have,
let litem Do assured, a very poor opin
ion of that judge and jury. Hut
Judge Strahan has done this State
great service in reversing so mischiev
ous a verdict and judgment. He says:
"If the terms of the contract required
any services to bo rendered, or if the
party employed, in furtherance of the
general purposes of his employment,
rendered or designed to render any
services either to cause or prevent any
legislative action, otherwise than by
publicly presenting tho subject before
tho Legislature or some of its commit
tees, such contract cannot bo enforced
in this State." E. O.
An ico-niau was arrested in New
York city for breaking the Sabbath
last Sunday by selling ice. The
judge discharged him. Two men ar
rested for selling a pair of shoes and a
pair of slippers wero held to bail.
Another merchant sold a collar worth
fourteen'cents and was lined.
