Doubtless seeking to keep the public In tbe dark as to the future proceed ings of the city council, the charter commission of Oregon City sought to bare the charter amended bo as to provide for tbe posting of city ordi nance on bulletin boards instead of publishing them In tbe local news paper. Thinking to make sure of the passage of this amendment, the commission attached it as a rider to a proposal to reduce the city indebted ness by a bond issue, the latter being a meritorious measure and one highly popular with tbe voters and tax payers. This direct slap at tha local paper aroused the antagonism of the publishers and caused tbe defeat of the bond amendment, which would baTe unquestionably been enacted bad Knot been saddled with the objection able feature. The newspapers put op a decent manly fight in defense cf their business, and tbe people were fair-minded enough to recognize the Justice of their use. There Is a lesson In this for the pub lishers of Oregon. In no other state in the Union hare the newspapers been to shabbily treated by the lawmaking bodies as in Oregon. No move to keep pople la the dark concerning things thy bate a right to know has been ,t Jvrthe oorDoration-serring Legislatures, and it has seemed the or phone Farmer frS easiest way to aroid publicity cy ian ingaway as many legal notices as possible from the newspapers and posting them on burns and gatr -posts mh.r th least possible number of people would aee them. Tbe latest more of this kind Is tbe new law to abolish advertising of delinquent tax sales, which la to become effective next year. This law may not be appre ciated by the newspaper publishers and good citizens who pay their taxes promptly, but It will be warmly wel comed by the "tax dodger" and "slow payer," in whose interest it was passed. And so It goes. In most staV-s, the Dumber of leeral publications is being eteadilf increased; in Oregon, it is being steadily diminished. Many of the btates publish over 2'"0 different forms; Oregon publishes less than 20. The newspaper men of this state have felt the injustice of It right along, and while fully realizing that it was In their power to remedy existing con ditions, bave for the greau-r part neglected to assbt in bringing about desired result. It is hoed that every newspaper publisher lo Oregon will attend the meeting of the Press Association in Portland next month and help bring about the organization so badly needed fot the protection of the print Inr business. With nlDoomroou lcrls- latures and city councils fighting him ' on one side, and the Government printing office competing with him on tbe other, It Is about time for the Ore gon publisher to exhibit a little of the Oregon City spirit farm south or i;aua, The funeral services were conduetea ; - bv the Rev.
