THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREGON.
RAILROAD LANDS.
Mr. J. M. Johns, editor of the Ar
lington Record, gives his views on
the above subject as follows:
A subject of great importance to
the people of Eastern Oregon is the
railroad lands, so-called. There
have been different interpretations!
of the forfeiture act, also of the act
extending the time that claimants
must make final proof. Many
who made proof have had the
papers sent back for correction
and additions, and today there is a
feeling of uncertainty pervading the
whole cotnmunjty on this subject.
The time is very close at hand when
the extension expires, and owing
principally to the failure of the
grain crop last harvest, many who
have improved these lands are un
able to pay for them.
Unless some remedy is devised,
a large number of settlers holding
these lands will have to lose not
only the money and labor spent in
improvement, but the lauds as well.
If there was no uncertainty about
the title after the proof was made,
it is possible that some loan com
pany might be induced to come to
the rescue of the claimants, but
this cannot be accomplished so long
as there is any uncertainty about
the procedure or making proof or
about the validity of the proof af
ter being made. Although it has
not been the practice in this dis
trict to require parties making
proof to advertise in a newspaper
their intention, it is contended by
many, and we think with good rea
son, thai-parties making proof on
these landa should so advertise, the
''.
same as in homesteads and other
entries.
We know of some instances where
parties have improved these lands
and have attempted to purchase
from the government, that they
found others ahead of them, who
paid their money and had a receipt
from the government. Such things
would not occur if all were required
to advertise before purchase.
If the commissioner of the gen
eral land office and our prepresent
ative in congress were fully appris
. ed of these things, it is not too late
to have the whole matter 60 adjust
ed that there would no longer be
any question about the manner of
making proof. And with the time
extended two years from Jan. 1,
18'J3, there is scarcely a doubt that
all who are entitled to these lands
by reason of improvements made
on same would be ablti to acquire
title to them and this country take
a long stride in prosperity.
It does seem very strange indeed
that the U. S. land offices in Wash-!
ton and every other place except at
The Dalles, understand that the
law requires the publication of no
tice of intention to purchase rail
road land, arid are doing so right
along, although The Dulles office
etubbornly refuses to do so. Just
what object it has in view by not
complying with the lawj remains a
ttiyfetery at., present The ; matter
needs investigation badly.
The decision of the Oregon su
preme court in favor of counting
the votes cast for Pierce, the Popu
list Elector, is good common sense
and should therefore be good law.
Pierce was a candidate both of the
democrats and Populists, and in
some counties his name appeared
twice.on the ballot once in each
electoral group. This was contrary
to the provisions of law that the
name of a candidate should appear
but once on a ballot. The nature
of the mistake was such that it
would be grossly unfair to deprive
the voter of the franchise on that
ground. As the court remarked,
if fuch a mistake were made the
ground for throwing out the bal
lotsa dishonest county clerk could
invalidate a whole election or se
cure the : defeat of a ticket by an
error in printing the ballots. San
Faudei'O Examiner.
The present session of the legisla
ture will witness several attempts
to amend the Australian ballot law.
The decisions of the supreme court
in the matter of party headings
! makes an amendment at least ad
! visable to bring the text to con
form to what the court has
decided to be the actual law, and
other amendments will be suggest
ed. Some of these will be honest,
some will not. Some will be put
forward to correct real or fancied
defects in the law. Some will be
urged with the concealed intent of
defeating the purpose for which the
law was passed. It may he taken
for granted that the professional
politicians will be against the law
in this, legislature as they were in
the last. As they cannot repeal it
openly they will endeavor to amend
it with "jokers' that will destroy
the safeguards it throws about the
ballot. The legislature should scan
carefully and suspiciously all prof
fered amendments to the ballot law.
In any case of doubt' the members
should allow the law to remain as
it is rather than to risk danger by
change.
The Salem Journal says that the
records of the state board of equal
ization for1892 are burned up. In
dications are that the present board
will be burned up if what has been
done is a fair sample of what will
be the total result of its labors.
The Gov. was seen and says that
realty has always borne an unjust
proportion of taxes in this state,
compared with personal proyerty,
and the action of the board in rais
ing the valuation of farm lands and
town lots still higher is outrageous.
The Governor emphasized his con
tempt for such boards with several
words beginning with a big "D."
The board seems to have constitu
ted itself a board of tax raisers, in
stead of equalizers, and to have ta
ken a short cut to fame and sala
ries by ordering several injudicious,
sweeping, horizontal raises."
There is a class in the state of
New York working for the abolish
ment of the death penalty, and it
is likely the legislature will take
such action as will make life im
prisonment the most severe penal
ty for a crime. Those who favor
this movement do not believe in
taking human lives, giving as one
of many reasons that many an in
nocent man haB suffered the death
penalty, his innocence being estab
lished after death. An exchange
thinks it is only a question of time
when this plan will be generally
adopted throughout the land.
The government has prepared to
issue during this month a complete
new set of postage stamps, com
memorative of the 400th anniver
sary of the discovery of America.
They will be called the "Columbus
issue," and will be the finest ever
made by any government. . They
will be on sale at the various post-
oflices only during the year of 1893
and will then be withdrawn from
general issue. '
A Salem legislator proposes a law
that will give every man au exemp
tion of property from taxation and
execution of $1000 or $1200. He
would thus encourage young people
and the poor man to get hold of
this class of property and thus get
a start in life.
The Gervais Star' has figured it
out as follows: Taxes in the state
are high and a heavy burden to the
people, and that $5000 appropria
tion each year to the state fair con
cern has helped to bring it about.
After the first of the year the
convicts in the Oregon state peni
tentiary have the privilege to read
the state papers, as the old rule
prohibiting their admission, into the
prison has been abolished.
Wn. has .been , decided upon as
the abbreviation for Washington.
Persons addressing letters to that
state are . requested to note the
change.
The New York Herald thinks
American citizenslup cheap at 1100
and proposes a tax of that amount
on each emigrant. ; '
The Btate board of equalization
has raised the assessment of mort
gages to 100 cents on the dollar. :
