JOURNAL VENTING ITS SPLEEN Tllh metropolitan Port. and .Journal lias licen venting its Slllef'll (111 tile cnlllltl'V lll'cKs If !le.!lt:r..i tlx. county newspapers of "graft" in the publication of the (leliiHIiicnt tax list. It seeks the repeal of the publication law and a return to postal card notification, which pro vides a harvest for the tax sharks, who are enabled to bin tax titles without the property-owner's knowledge and pocket the usurious interest charged instead of the county, if not securing the )roperty for a song. Publication of t lie delinquent tax list is not paid for by the taxpayers, but by those who do not pay their taxes. Publicity has proven one of the most effective measures of securing the payment of these taxes. It involves no extra expense lo the taxpayer, but is a penalty to the de linquent, and far less of a penalty than insufficient notice of delinquency has proven. The .Mail Tribune has always printed this delinquent tax list for one-half the legal rate, making the reduction voluntarily. Surely there was no graft, there. At the same time, the Journal has always collected full rates for its publication of the delinquent list. If publication in volved any grafting, the .Journal was the grafter. .Multnomah county, alone among the counties of Ore gon, has made the publication burdensome to the delin quent, by printing the list at maximum prices, in all four (tail v newspapers, and now the tated to pocket the profits tries to smear all the other own count v ami itsell. J.Jut the .Journal's opposition to the county press does not stop with seeking to aid the tax sharks in securing a monopoly and a belling their greed in preying upon unfor tunate victims, but. it is also opposing by misrepresenta tion and abuse the bill drafted by the State Editorial asso ciation, defining a newspaper and establishing the present legal rate, charged now by all reputable count rv papers except a lew rate-cutters of meager circulation. ' The bill is merely an effort to place legal advertising upon an es tablished business basis, for unless a Paper is trovei-ned bv sound business methods it cannot creditablv exist. Does the .Journal know of any country newspaper men that have ever grown wealthy in Oregon Does it know of any that do not work hard and p.-itrioticallv for their communities and devote much eneruv and snace for the development of the cities and counties, that do not print better-papers than their support warrants, and that do not deserve well of their constituencies? Of course, t here are a few rascals among the newspaper publishers tbere are in every industry, but newspaper men average high in honesty and integrity, in morality and ideals, in civic pride and patriotism,' with anv class. But it is, of course, to the .Journal's interest that the country press be starved and dwarfed so as to increase the field for the metropolitan sheet, with its endless columns of twaddle and tittle-tattle and scandal, its paresis Sunday sections and its pharisaical parade of virtue and its hvpo critical, maudlin pretense of love for the masses.

Interrogating Senator Xorris, Sen ator Sherman, republican, said: "I'll ak if there i any definite, concrete proposition in a stump speech from the throne made in this chamber by the president when the senate is vested with the sole treaty making power? Is there any issue presented in this address. Was it not rather intended to forestall action by the senate by appealing to public opinion before the senate had n chance to discuss the ouestion?

"Congress has already passed the rural credits act, and this winter con gress will also, be called upon to con sider this German remedy for the high cost of food. The rural credits ict by Itself will not vastly benefit the farmer unless he is further aided to get equitable prices for his pro ducts by the adoption of the other and eoplementary act. By this cre ation of nn official farmer's organiza tion the farmer will be turned into nn efficient merchant, and the people in California will, say, should they be lacking in food plentiful in Xew York state, be able to buy that food at prices helpful to the Xew ' York fanner and not prohibitive to them."
