Newspaper Page Textm Site gaUjj DtoHatt. ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY.. ... JANUARY 21, 1683 .-1 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Hon. C. Leinexwxbee, representa tive from Clateop and Tillamook, lias introduced a bill providing for a con stitutional convention to meet in Sa lem next October. It would appear as though the time had about arrived when a change in the organic law of this state was needed. It is not ab solutely necessary even now. A man can live and prosper in Oregon under the present conditions, but existing conditions are radically different from what they were in 1859. On this subject yesterday's Stand ard has something to say from which we quote at length: Among the recommendations for necessary reforms in the state govern ment, embodied in Governor Moody's first biennial message, is one for the holding of a convention to revise the constitution of the slate. One great objection to the old organic law of the state is that it is more of a code than a constitution, and embraces many points that should never be placed in the fundamental law of any state in the Union, for the reason that they prevent necessary legisla tion from time to time except by the amendment or revision of tbe consti tution. There are some features of tho old organic law that it would be well enough to re-enact, however, es pecially those sections relating to the creation of debts by the stato or tho sevoral counties thereof. Another objection to the old law is tho salaries of the state officials. The governor now gets 81,500, which is less than half the salary of any bank accountant in this city; the secretary of slate gets 61,500, which would not pay the wages of a "blacksmith" fore man iu a patent-outsido country news paper office; and the state treasurer, who has uuder his charge often a half million at a lime, gels less than any illiterate dock watchman who keeps the rats away from 500 sacks of flour. Hut the two last named officers get fees which go into their own pockets instead of into the stale treasury, which is nil wrong from the ground up. The state officials should be com pelled to pay into the treasury, under oalh, quarterly, all fees received by them iu discharge of their duties; and they should receive such salaries as will enable them to live iu ease and comfort, not to say in luxury and os tentatious display. The fee system is merely a legalized robbery, for in most cases while it doc3 not rob the state, it robs the people composing the stale. As the mailer now stands no man but a rich one can afford to be elect ed govomor of Oregon. Moody had been a successful merchant at The Dalles and could afford to pay for the empty honor, as he is reported to have spent over $20,000 in Salem during the past two years. But the salaries of public officials should be fixed at such rales as will afford ev ery official a comfortable living and bar no honest mau from accepting a public trust by reason of a scanty purse. And whilo we believe that the gentleman of Wasco has made a good governor, as governors go, yet we also believe there are a dozen men in either of the two great politi cal parties in this state, better quali fied for the position than himself, who daro not accept a nomination for such a place on account of insuf ficiency of private fortune. A public I rust should be open to any man who comes under tho Joffersonirn lest of "Is ho honest and is he canablo?" And the question of "Is ho rich enough to do the honors of the of fice V should never be allowed to enter into consideration. California pays its governor $0,000 a year, which is as excessive as the pay of Oregon's governor is deficient. Make the salaries of governor and secretary of stale each $3,000; the treasurer and superintendent of pub lic instruction each $2,400; the at . torney general and superintendent of the penitentiary each $2,400; and create the office of surveyor general at $2,400 by abolishing the present land commissioners' board. Make all these officials pay into tho slate treas ury, uuder oath, all fees received by them for discharge of their official dnties; and the fees of the secretary and treasury alone will come pretty near paying tho whole bill. The way that tho friends of candidates for these offices -spend money about the conventions of both parties, while nominations for govemor and con gressman go a-begging, shows there must bo something more in the fees of those offices than the f ramers of our constitution intended that there ever should be. Hence, for tho reasons set forth above, the proposition to amend the constitution of Ore gon may not be deemed prema ture. California went thirty years without amending her constitution, whilo Oregon's is but twenty six years old. Nevertheless, it was the en croachments of corporations upon the rights of individuals which pre cipitated the formation of a new or ganiolawforour sister state; and the same causes which lead that step in California are now here at our own doors. When our constitution was framed we had no railroads within tho state; now we have about 1,000 miles in all, some operated under foreign charters, whilo others are incorporated here. To equalize rates of transportation over these lines, a question involving the rights of tho primary producing class in a pre-eminently producing state, should be within tho pale of a board created by constitutional provisions, whose members should be punishabla by. impeachment when ever found corrupt or negligent iu discharge of their offioial duties. It is for reasons like these that a new constitution is needed. Had there been no railroads built within the stale, we might have gone on twenty years longer with the old constitu tion; but seeing that the transporta tion systems of our state are now owned wholly in Germany or the Atlantic states, and that their sur plus earnings are all spent abroad, we come to the conclusion that the proposed revision of our constitution is not a premature movement. 1)1KI.
