It Im already announced that t 1m state will Im; awked for some $;7,IMJ0 for dellmpient scalp bounties. J',y next January the sum Ih likely to lie much larger. It Is always the way: the appropriation Im never sufficient. The i egisliitureoiiKlit to "sit down" firmly, if not sternly, on this scalp Industry. The theory on which such a law as that giving bounties for coyote or other scalpsr Ih utterly wrong and vicious. SuppoMe, next winter, we settle up, pay the tiddler, nnd stop the farce. The ex'MTience by that time should have lsen sufficient. But there Is little Iiom that this will Is done. More likely the scalp bounty law will still stick and others m enacted to match it. Portland Evening Tel egram. It Is quite early In the season for the old scalp bounty bugaboo to lie brought to the front again. The wonderful regard for the security of the strong box c.f the State by om editors is amusing, to say tlie leant. There are grafts of all kinds handed out by the State Jx'gislatun. but It is all right so long as they are in Port land. Here Is a legitimate act, tb provisions of which save to the stock interests of Eastern Oregon many thousands of dollars annually, and these fellows west of the moun tain range, who would not know n coyote from a buzzard, want the uct reialed because it does not di rectly Is'iiefit them. They do not object, however, to the legislature appropriating hundreds of thous ands of dollars to collefces and nor mal schools that ure of no lienrfit to the people ot Eastern Oregon, who assist materially In keeping them up. Of course in t bis case tJie shoe is . on . the other foot it makes a difference whose ox is gored. The Examiner is informed that since tlie Scalp Bounty law went into effect, it has lieen the saving of many thousands of dollars to the stiH-kmen of Lake County alone, by . reason of the killing off of hundn-ds of coyotes and cougars the former the greater menace to the sheepman, nnd the latter beast the terror of the man who raises Colts nnd calves. Call this Bounty Law a "farce" if you will, let the theory lie considered "utterly wrong anil vicious," and we could thank the Oregon Legislat ure for more such "vicious" laws. Many thousands of dollars have been paid out of tlie State treasury for sculps of predatory animals in Eastern Oregon. Repeal the law, now, as the work of exterminating has junt liegun to show Itneffect.niiil all thin money has lieen exiended for naught. Continue the Bounty law . and It will not lie long until these auimaln can Im. handled alone by in dividual stockmen. The large de crease in the loss of stock In this" county during the past year is the best argument in favor of the Scalp"' BouutyAct. Ix't the second column editorial writer ot The Telegram look after grafts, and steals, on his side of the mountains and he will find plenty to do. New Pension Law. A new pension law has Just gone Into effect which allows a pension of fS iter month to those who served the United States for 30 dayB or lon ger (and received an honorable- dis charge) in any Indian War, conflict, or disturbance oceuting lietweeu 1817 and 1S57.
