OUR PI RSI' Rl!PIlRUNt)UM
The people of tlie state have
nvvnketied to lite fact that the Inst
legislature iasscl some bills not
in the general interest of the groiv
inc industries of the state. One
of these is known as the IMdv bill,
and while it affects nil corporations,
local and forcien, it is aimed
estiecially at the mining interests.
The bill imposes a specially oner
ous tax on the capital stock of our
ruining companies, regardless of
its market value of the projwrty in
addition to the state, county, city
and sd ool taxes which our mines
are now paying on their machinery,
b tidings and property. This law
will put out of business the small
mining and oil companies of the
state who are struggling to develop
our resources. "The large producers,
who are paying already large taxes,
also are protesting against this bill
as an unjust measure, and eastern
capitalists say they will hesitate
a long time before investing in
Oregou mining companies under
such a law, as there are plenty of
other mining states which impose
110 such restrictions.
There is another reason why the
mining men, real estate and incor
porated mercantile firms object to
this bill, and that is we are now
taxed to the limit in Oregou, and
the public gift to the Lewis and
Clark fair is all we can stand. Hut
not content with this, our great and
wise law makers, having cinched
our mining industries, turned about
and threw away $165,000 to begin
the work of building a portage rail
road at the Dalles which will event
ually cost to put in operation nearly
half a million dollars, in face of the
fact that the Federal Government
sow has begun work 011 a canal
between the Dalles and Celilo, solv
ing the transportotion problem in
the only feasible manner, and the
'S4.000.000 is ready and available
for the enterprise. Under present
methods it will take six. or eight
years to get the portage railroad in
operation and by that time the
engineers say they can probably
have the canal finished. Why. then
overtax our miners and the people
generally and absolutely waste
$165,000?
Petitions are in circulation work
ins the referendum power of the
people, conferred by the recent con
stitutional amendment for the
repeal of these unnecessary laws
and every voter in this district
should promptly sign them. Copies

Thin was a good representation
considering the short notice that hud
to lie given owing to the nearness of
the congressional convention.
l'he committee proceeded at once
to business. It was agreed that the
basis uhui which delegates should
Ik chosen to the county convention
lie fixed at one delegate at large and
one for every .11 votes ami major
fraction tlicreof east furCongressiuan
Tongue at the election last June.
This makes a county convention of
IX! delegates.
Next the commtttee decided that
the primaries lie held throughout
the county on Saturday. March 2x
at 'J p. 111.. unless otherwise arranged
liy local committeemen In tlie differ
ent preelncts. It should be under
stood that by tlie above mean's tlie
central committee fixes the hour for
primaries over the county at 2 p. m.
011 Saturday, March 2S. lint If tlie
central committeeman thinks- some
otlier hour on that day will lie more
convenient for holding the primary
lie is at Ittierty to tlx an hour to suit.
After tlie day and hour for prim
aries was fixed for Saturday, .March
2S, the committee tlien agreed on the
following Saturday, April 4, for the
comity convention to convene In tlie
court room at 2.30 p. 111.
This completed the work of the
committee and a short republican
love feast followed, quite a uunilier
of the country members of the com
mlttee making soinerousIngsK-eeJies
expressing pleasure at the harmony
exlsting In repuhlicau ranks through
out the county. Among those who
made Interesting sjieeches were:

The referendum is undoubtodly
a good agency when properly and
wisely administered; but, like
"painting, poetry and eloquence",
it may prove to be a very danger
ous agency, when improperly ap
plied and under certain conditions.
It should not lie resorted to 111 the
matter of the Lewis and Clark ap
propriation. There is little probabil
ity that the action of the last legisla
ture will be rupudiated at the
hands of the voters of the state.
Outside of a few "soreheads" and
a few more "sinkers" on the life
line of state pride and progress, the
exposition meets with favor
throughout Oregon. No matter if
the attempt to annul the action of
the legislature was snowed under
by hundreds of thousands of votes,
tlie act ot employing sttcli an
agency at ttm stage ot the game
would be a burning.shame, and the
reflection 011 the fair state of Ore
gon would be of longer life than
many of those instrumental in
bringing it about.

take their first downward step, to

that I met my downfall taken there
