Matthew A Co.'s dm Mot. u
Tux Polk county Itemizer is making
frantic efforts to support Daley's bill to
abolish the State Board of Immigration.
Mr. Daley's paper has a right to support
Mr. Daley's measure, but it ought to re
member that the members of the legisla
ture have been reading the printed re
port of the sUte board, and that wlien it
attempts to belittle the labor of the com
missioners by omitting to state plainly and
candidly what has been done, it ia only
making itself ridiculous. Because Mr.
Daley may not like the president of the
state board, is no reason why his paper
should be used to defeat a good work for
the people of the state. That president
is not a candidate for re-appointment.
The Itemixer is hard op for material when
it quotes a Mud Creek correspondent of
the East Oregonian, and credits it to Mr.
Wager himself. The editor of the East
Oregonian ought to correct Mr. Daley's j
