Hereafter when a taxpayer goes before the Sheriff to pay his taxes that official will make his place of resi dence a matter of record, by virtue of of an act of the Legislature, provid ing the Senate concur, as it probably will. The House has passed a bill authorizing the taking of addresses, as a matter of convenience in keeping the whereabouts of taxpayers known to the sheriff. Prospects for a 30 days' session have begun to look faint and far away. Today marks the half-way point of the 40 days' route, and the end is no where in sight. Not only that, but old-timers in the House declare that the Legislature is a week behind the record of two years ago. So far the number of House bills has reached the 245 mark, few of which have been passed and comparatively no Senate bills read. STILL AFTER JAMES Legislature Will Be Asked to Invest igate Management of Oregon Prison. SCARE IS SUBSIDING Physicians Express Belief That Scar let Fever Will Not Spread Further. DALLAS, The scarlet fever scare in Dallas is subsiding, anil it is believed that the disease will not spread beyond the homes already Infected. The number of cases in town does not exceed ten, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, and most of the cases are of a mild form. It is a sig nificant fact that no new cases have developed this week outside the homes where the disease already existed. Two deaths have occurred, one of the victims being the little daughter of Mrs. Cal Hutton, and the other the small child of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Matheney. All of the homes infected have been quarantined, and the public school has been closed as a pre cautionary measure. County Health Officer W. S. Cary, the city officers, and physicians of Dallas are co-operating to keep the disease in check, and will endeavor to do everything necessary to prevent a further spread. The health officers will endeavor to pursue the same course that was followed a few years ago when Dallas was visited by small-pox, namely, to conceal no facts, but to give out the whole truth concerning the extent of the contagion, and to take every pro caution considered wise and necessary in stamping out the disease. It is the plain duty of every citizen to lend all reasonable assistance in this work, as the officers desire to do only what is best for the town and Its people, and no attention should be paid to wild street rumors circulated by excitable and Irresponsible persons. It Is proper to use every necessary precau tion to prevent a further spread of the fever, and this can only be done by pursuing a calm and sensible course. Again, but this time in the form of a petition to the Legislature, comes the charges of misadministration against Superintendent C. W. James and Warden Frank Curtis of the pen itentiary, which will be presented to the Senate this morning bearing the signature of Attorney L. II. Mahon, of Salem. The petition will probably be introduced by either Keuator Howe or Senator Wright aud another will doubtless be presented to the House of Representatives later iu the day. The petition contains substantially the same charges against the head officials of the prison as were con tained in the communication from Mr. McMahon as published by the Statesman about a year ago. They are also the same as the charges made in the recent action brought by J. K. Sears in the circuit court against the prison management. In substance the petition charges the wrongful application of about $2000 of the penitentiary betterment fund by Superintendent James to his j personal use, in the purchaseof furni ture aud provisions for his house-' hold and that of Warden Curtis and that the two officials have been using the convicts as menials about their respective households, contrary to the laws of the state. The charges are couched in terms of anything but a mild nature and ask that a joint committee from both houses be appointed to make a full investigation with power to subpoena witnesses and take testimony under oath as to what they know of affairs at the penitentiary. It is understood that a resolution has been prepared and will be presented by another Senator providing for the appointment of this joint committee. Thursday's Statesman. "Hello, Central."
