THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREGON.
A WORTHY BILL.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature, which ought to become
a law, to take effect at once. The
present law allows a juror in jus
tice's courts only $1 a day and 10c
a mile, each way, and witnesses
41.50 a day and same mileage. Of
the two the juror has the most
work and longest service, and there
should be no descrimination. The
bill reads as follows:
''That all jurors summoned to
unnear before a Justice of the Peace.
a city recorder when acting as ex
officio Justice of the Peace, a cor-
oner in holding an inquest over a I
dead body, or before any other!
court having like jurisdiction, shall i
be entitled to an allowance of one
dvdlar and fifty cents per day for (
each dav in actual service, and to '
the further sum of ten cents per
mile in going to the place of hbld-j
ing court and returning therefrom j
to place of residence. In all cases j
where a jury man is summoned to
'appear before anv of the courts j
above numerated,' if rejected for ,'
cause or otherwise, he shall be en-;
titled to an allowance of one day's j
service and mileage as above ppeci-

That is, taxes may be paid in two

.The bill of Representative Hille
gas concerning attorney's fees pro
vides that in any suit or action
brought upon a promisory note,
contract or other obligation created
either by agreement or statutory
provision, wherein the plaintiff is
permitted to recover from the de
fendant his attorney fees, no great
er sum shall be allowed in any
court, notwithstanding any agree
ment or stipulation in such con
tract for a larger sum than as fol
lows: On sums of .f 200 or less, 10
per cent of the judgment, including
interest but exclusive of costs, ex
ceeding $200 aud not exceeding
$500, 5 per cent; exceeding $500
and not exceeding $1000, 3 per
cent, and on all sums exceeding
$1000 2 per cent; provided, that
on any contract so providing, a fee
of $5 may be allowed, although it
exceeds 10 per cent of the amount
recovered; and provided further,
that in any suit wherein a mort
gage or other lien is to be foreclos
ed, a fee of $20 may be allowed, al
though it exceeds 10 per cent of
the amount recovered.
A justice of the peace hereafter,
or as soon as the new law is ap
proved by the governor, shall re
quire the private prosecutor in a
criminal action to give security for
costs and disbursements before fil
ing or receiving the complaint
therein, in the amount authorized
in civil actions, and not otherwise.
This law is to be enacted owing to
the fact that many irresponsible
parties are repeatedly instituting
actions on frivolous pretexts, re
sulting in needless expense ; to
taxpayers.
A bill is before the legislature
that will, if enacted, render Valid
in other counties teacher's certifi
cates issued in any given county.
In the large counties of Eastern
Oregon such a law would afford
much relief to teachers, some of
whom have to travel many inileK
to examinations. Cases have been
known where teachers have had to
travel 150 miles in a storm and be
out for expenses a month's salarv
in order to obtain a certificate for
a three-months' term.

An exchange has the following
sen si blend vice: The country has
been temporizing with chronic
growlers long enough. The man
who continues to sit down and
paint the business sky in colors as
dark as midnight should be invit
ed to move on. Confidence and
industry and not grumbling and
idleness make business. The man
who has given his brain to his
work and whose hands are callous
ed with labor has never had serious
cause for complaint. Want of
business confidence has been pro
longed by undo agitation. The
woes of the business world have
been emphasized, in the halls of
congress, from the rostrum, in the
public press and upon the street
corners until a once prosperous
people have been almost led tobe-
Keve that they are helpless, starv-
i"g creatures in the midst of plenty.
Let the country work its lungs less
and its brains and elbowB more
and there will at once be seen a
perceptible improvement in busi-
ness. Too many people are starv-
ing to death loafing around stores
and othr public places telling how
nuch better they could run , the
government, state, county and pre-
cinct affairs. Such men never had
a dollar they could call their own
-and never will have until they
go to work and do something else
besides discussing their neighbors'
faults.

That Portland has been "living

from the fact that the bonded debt

STA TE FD VCA TION.
A few yfHrs ago, in response to the
importunities of a certain cIhss of "eln
CRtort" ami persons moved by loon I in
terests, tiie legislature of Oregon fool
ishly permitted everal so-called normal
school g to advertise themselves m state
inxtitutions. It was urged that it would
cost the Btrtte nothing, and that, by
making them state institutions in name,
it would give them a, standing that
would materially benefit them, enable
them to improve, attract pupils and
generally promote the work of educa
tion. Despite the warnings of those
with prescience enough to see the out
come, that it would be but a short time
before a stale school would piteously
plead for state aid, and later imperious
ly demand it, the legislature yielded to
the importunities and bestowed the
state's name upon the schools.
Other schools then demanded equal
recognition and received it. Solemn
promises made on the floors of the
house and senate have been violated,
aa predicted, ami the Mate has been
constantly importuned for money to aid
these schools. Now this money is de
manded as a right, aud all who oppose
the giving of it are branded as the ene
mies of education ami as opposed to free
schools for the common people; yet the
very effort to maintain thete alleged
free schools for the common people is
one of the reasons why the schools
where the common people, in fact, have
their only chance to secure an educa
tion are not to.hiy giving them as full
an opportunity as they should have.
The whole theory of our schools is
wrong. We are (spending the major
part of public money upon the minority
of pupils. While public monw is being
appropriated to maintain state univer
sities, agricultural colleges and normal
schools, whose henetits are received only
by a favored few, thousands of the chil
dren of the common people are denied
the opportunity to attend any school
whatever. Even in Portland money is
expended upon an ornamental roof that
would better be applied to the founda
tion and walls of the educational struc
ture. The small per cent of children
who can attend the high school are hav
ing money lavished upon them that
should be used to improve the lower
grades, where the multitude receive
their only education.
In the state at large it is preposter
ous that thousands of dollars of public
money should be given annually to al
leged state schools, where the benefits
reach an infinitely small proportion of
the youth of the state, and thousands
of children should be denied an oppor
tunity to attend any school whatever.
If state money is to be appropriated for
school purposes, let it be given to the
common schools, where the duty of the
state to give its youth a common-school
education is not now fully performed.
It is said that of the 153 clerks
at Salem 111 are employed by the
senate and 42 by the house. Just
what work thirty senators can find
for 111 clerks is the one thing that
uo one seems to know. Chronicle.
As the people along the seacoast
of China are said to be beginning
to use Pacific Coast flour to the
displacement of rice, there promises
to be a big market for the farmer
and his wheat by and by.
There are men in our legislature
who are shouting "economy," re
fusing to take a paper or two, and
then hiring clerks for committees
who have nothing to do but draw
their pay. Salem Post.
The deadlock still continues at
Salem. If there is a man in the
state who does not now think that
United States senators should i e
elected by the people, let him stand
up and be counted.
lne law compelling the pay
ment of fees in advance has put a
stop to much senselese and expen
sive litigation, and is proving a
boon to the taxpayers in that re
spect alone : "
About the only bill the majority
of the representatives will succeed
in getting through at Salem this
winter will be their board bill.
The Oregon legislature costs the
people $3 a minute and they are
now paying dearly for the election
of a U. 8. senator.
The deadlock in the Washington
legislature is broken at last and
John L. Wilson was elected U. S.
senator.
It is now estimated that the
revenue from the income tax will
amount to $50,000,000 per year.
A bill is before the legislature to
prohibit the sale of cigarettes in
the state. It should pass.
