THE MOST IMPORTANT.
The
Boston
Store !
County conventions, Republican
and Democratic, are now being held
all over Ibe state to nominate candi
dates for tic June election, and poli
ticians are sitting up late discussing
who is best calculated to run for the
legislature, "if he'll have it.'
And all ovr the state the same mis
take is being made ignoring the
aost important offices in the gift of
the people.
Take it here or any county of Ore-
gou and you'll find ninety-nine out of ;
a hundred giving themselves concern 1
alKmt the legislature, and the sheriff
and the county clerk- and letting the
rest go so far as they are concerned.
The county judge and the county
commissioners are the most iniorlant
to Ukj people of the 'county. That is
the positions are important, affecting
as they do, the interests of thoo -who
Iay the comity's bills.
The salary should be commensurate
with the importance of the position.

OPENING ANNOUNCED
;r.
The fact is our county machinery is
poorly constructed. The county com
missioners hold the purse strings and
can make or mar the finances or the
community and they get less per
diem than n mau working on the
streets.
The county judge can aid or retard
sneasnrcs involving thousands, of dol
lars and gets as much in a year as the
comity clerk can make in a month.
Because of this our county boards
cannot afford to give the attention to
the county business that il should
have, and the result is the county
suffers.
The positions should be ivell paid,
huflicieutly so to justify frequent ses
sions, careful and cxhauslives crutiniz
ing of bills and accounts; deliberations
for public welfare, instead of a hurried
seion, scmi-occasionally.
The county judge should receive
$2,500 a year: the county commission
ers 2,000 a j car each. 2so business
man will work for nothing and do jus
tice to the work.
XECESSAltY LEGISLATION.
The three members from Clatsop, at
the next meeting of the legislature,
will have an opportunity to aid in
some wholcxmic legislation, not only
for this city, but for the entire state.
Foremost among legislative needs is
the repeal ot the present swindle
known as the "exemption of indebted
ness." This ancient fraud exists only
by sufferance. It has no adequate
reason for existence: it is condemned
by everybody whose opinion is worth
having, and is a detriment to the stale's
bebt interests and is a positive injus
tice to seven out of ten of the taxpay
ers of the. state.
Before and duriug the last session
of the legislature Tin: Astoriax made
an effort to secure the repeal or this
iniquitous measure. A bill to so re
peal it passed the house by a good
majority : then it went to the senate ;
there it was smothered iTi the com
mittee room. It never saw the light
again. A jwlitical boss who Is no
more got the credit of this job. A
man who would prostitute his position
as chairman of a state central com
mittee to put a tool of his on the
state supreme bench, is not above
strangling a healthy legislative infant,
if it gave promise of annoyance of his
financial associates.
We look for better results from the
next legislature, and to see a bill pnt
through both houses that will wipe
out this menace to the properly of the
poor man. and thus do tardy justice
to the great majority of the tax pay
ers of the slate.
The way to have this result brought
about is to have the candidates for
the legislature pledge themselves that
it elected they will vole and weil: for
thcrepeal of that odious clause permit
ting the allowance of indebtedness in
the stale to make up the tax list.
The people have the power in their
hands if they want to use it.
The master motive of buying and selling is
money. Not because men love lucre, but be
cause money stands for the commodities and nec
essaries of life. We are engaged in business to
make money, not to accumulate, but to enable us
to live. You buy where you can make money by
saving it, for a dollar saved is a dollar earned.
In presenting our claim for 'our patronage, be
fore saying a word about the excellence or va
riety of our New Stock ot Dry Goods, we want
to appeal to this master motive. If we can save
3ou money on onr purchases; if it will put
money in your pocket to trade with us, we know
that, other things being equal, we have a strong
presumption that we can win your patronage and
hold it. And it just on this basis that we solicit
your trade.
