The committee appointed by Con gress to investigate the use and misuse it irnrornmpnt nil hlieations has de- cided upon a reduction of nearly 1,000,000 volumes of documents. The committee finds that hundreds of tons of documents are printed every year TheCorvallis Times, advocat'ng a reduction of insurance rates because of the installation of a gravity water system, calls attention to the fact that a considerable reduction in rates was made in Dallas when the mountain water system was completed. Yes. we got the reduction in latesaii rigni, hut nfter the San Francisco disaster the old rates were restored and more. added to them -and that's what hurts. Over in Tillamook county, Abraru i Hembree, a rancher, was triea ou a charge of murdering nis wiie anu j daughter and burning their Doilies 10 conceal the crime. A fool jury broughf iu a verdict of manslaughter. All of which leads to the thought that there is seldom a term of criminal court held that does not furnish good argu ment iu favor of the abolition of the existing jury system.

The Printer does only that work which he is authorized to do. and it Is no fault of his if thousands of dollars are wasted each year in printing doc uments for which the state has no use.

So far, the atten tion of Mr. Heney and his assistants seems to have been centered upon the conviction of the little fish the small fry that were paid a few paltry dollars for helping the "big fish" to swindle the Government out of its lands. The people of Oregon are with Mr. neney in his efforts to punish wrongdoers, but they would like to see him turn some of his attention to the big fish the men that got the land. The model newspaper of the world might as well be printed at Salem as anywhere. But the Journal is too modest to claim it Salem Journal.
