CORRlPTIONiSTS ARE BORROWED
In declaring "corruption in gov
ernment the surest breeder of social
ism," the Minneapolis Tribune hns
probably made a correct statement of
facts, as applied to those persons
"whose mental operations are eccen
tric," Hut, when this paper classes
the initiative and referednuui, with
other recent achievements of Oregon
people, of which we are so justly
proud, as the fruits of erratic mental
crocesses, he shoots wild. l!y means
of the initiative the people of this
state have receutly enacted a number
of strong, just, conservative laws for
the taxing of franchises, and to
oblige corporations generally to bear
a just proportion of the burdens of
government which they could not get
enacted by a representative body,
though they had for years, begged
their legislature to thus mane taxa- (
tion equal. iue people or uregon are
not trying any "political nostrum
as this paper says, "to free themselves
from government as it is," but, fail
ing to get equal justice administered
by the old forms of government, have,
in a perfectly dispassionate, though
determined spirit, resumed so much
of the powers granted the legislative
branch of their government as was
necessary for them to establish jus
tice, to be exercised when in their be
lief it may become necessary,
moral of this is be good and you
be praised and upheld. When a very
popular tiovernor sought to use the
referendum for political gain, the peo
ple spanked him good and hard for
his folly, at the same time re-electing
him to his high position.
In their departure from old methods
of legisaltion the people of Oregon
have shown an admirable temper, and
have themselves, made laws, not dras
tic, but such exactly as have proven
efficient and satisfactory iu the most i
conservative, progressive states.
Through our primary election law we
have taken from the bosses the power
to dictate candidates for office, and
have lately directed the legislature to
elect citizens to the U. S. Senate,
having pledged each member of that j
body in the most solemn manner to I
do our bidding ; and thus we shall not
be left only partially represented in j
the Senate fid WO II c ve been in the I
past, and shall cot suffer from the '
consequences of a shameful dead-lock !
as this and other states have suffered !
in the r.a.-t.
Representative government when it
does well w ill be support ,-d iu Oregon.
When it does evil the people will en
force corrective measures.
Oregon Las not "tried singular ex
periments with the extreme ideas of
prohibition." No attempt has been
made at any thing in this way but to
give the people power by local option
to suppress the liquor traffic in any
given unit of territory where there
exists such a public sentiment as will
enable them to do so. Our local op-j
tion law may need a little trimming, i
If experience shall prove this, the !
people will make such change as time
may prove to be beneficial. The prin-
ciple of local option is not likely to
be abandoned. It is, in fact, the old
principle of local control, enforced in
a new way. The minds of the people j
are open to enlightenment on this !
subject. That the Federal Court pre
sided over by the lamented Judge
Deady in a way peculiarly applied to
Oregon as a state, "revealed the seed
of socialism" every citizen of Oregon
will resent. The Federal Grand Jury
fit. Wirt it iwl rl iftttr.r..l -iirit. ..! t :
promptly indicted the offenders.
Trial juries with equal promptness
convicted them, w ithout revealing any
mental state peculiar to Oregon peo
ple, nor any thing peculiarly Oregon
ian except sterling Oregonian virtue.
Many citizens of other states have
been found connected with these crim
es, some of them from the state of
Minnesota. These culprits from the
middle West have been millionaires,
who no doubf inspired these crimes,
and supplied the money necessary to
their perpetrations, Including tho
corruption of public officials.
Many citizens of Minnesota Lave
taken land in this district, swearing
that it was taken for the use and
benefit of the entry-man ; not directly
or indirectly for the benefit of anoth
er person. Yet, so soon as this land
was passed to patent, the title was
passed to millionaire Minnesota tim
bermen, all of which shows that the
"seeds of socialism revealed" by
ttnnsnctlous In public land in Oregon
were certainly not peculiar to Oregon,
but that they were brought largely
from other communities, largely from
the one in which this editor live.
These crimes are not found alone in
Oregon, but, in other state. Oregon
citie need not blush at a comparison
of morals, as exemplified in method
of municipal government.
The memory of Lincoln StetTens'reve
lation of public dolmuehery in Phila
delphia and other cities, none of
which were in Oregon, still lingers.
We don't believe that Minneapolis
may throw stone at any Oregon city.
The Tribune , however, does the
state justice in one respect. It ntllrnis
that the" average standard of public
inti'llli-i'iiee is mm haps t tie highest on
the Rncillo C ast." which fact l.iiUl,l,,,,",hl'
seem to rentier the "fails ami vagar
ies" of which he speaks impossible
here, and as a matter of fact they are
not here in any alarming degree. No
other people have adopted more intel-
ligent methods of reform. Those who!
would adopt revolutionary measures;
were so emphatically rebuked squelch- !
cd that they excite only pity for .
their felly now.
The only influenced promoter i f
revolutionary doctrine iu our recent j
political campaign was a certain fe-j
mule 1 Victor whoso home is not in
1 Oregon, and w ho, on her departure
natt lost nil me ouyam spirits
which she entered the State having
no encouragement ever to return to
the state. The Oregonian, known
everywhere as able, courageous, and
conservative iu an exhaustive reiow
of motives inspiring the actions of
voters in the late election, and the re
sults finds no cause of complaint so
grievous to that girut paper as the
aot tmt the ,H.opie uot vote their
rrty ticket
A strong and growiug sentiment
exists iu the State of Washington in
favor of a lcoal option law for that
state simiksr to our own statute on
that subject. If the fanatics will
keep out, and let the people of prac
tical minds conduct the campaikru of
education, Wasihugtou will doubtless
lie able to get a good law that all will
Ve willing to have enforced. Nothing
Tne I is more reasonable than that a coin
will !
should have the right to vot
upon
that question by secret ballot and.
if one favors the business in his lucal
community, he should not be obliged
to express his belief by signing a pe
tition to be published to the world.
The secret ballot is the only assurance
of perfect freedom of action ou any
question of public interest. This mat
ter of enabling the people to pass up
on the question by secret ballot is the)
chit,t ail(1 we believe only merit, of!
any local option law.
An able commission, at the head
of which is Fredrick W. Mulkey, the
i people's choice for United States Sen
ator for the short term, has been eu-
gaged for a year in collecting iufor-1
mation and preparing a new statute'
foi the taxation of property in Ore-1
gon, expects to have its labors com- :
pleted and a bill for the new law com- J
pleted and ready for filing with the;
(Jovernor by the Lst of July to be by !
him transmitted to the legislature iu j
! January. It is believed that the bill, i
if it becomes a law, will greatly im- j
j prove the state revenues, and lead to j
; a much more equal distribution of;
: the burdens of taxation. '
j Morgan, the venerable Senator from
I Ala., speaks bitterly against the con
' solidation of territories upon their ad
i mittauce as states now, and of the
, division of Oakotah as a crime. The
I Democrats everywhere, are distin
guishing themselves by opposing: the
I good they really favor, for no
other
reason than that Republicans are ac-
complishiug it. The people will cer- i
tainly appreciate achieved results
more than promises never fulfilled, j
The fact that States have been erected !
with insufficient resources cannot be
a reason for the creation of others.
Congress is becoming weary and a
date for adjournment is receiving its
quota of attention from members of
both branches. The earliest possible
date is Lelieted to be June 2.'J, and
the latest date any member will listen
to is July j. There remains but few
important matters which have any
chance for hearing. They are the rate
conference and the meat inspection
Kill. These two offer about tho only
obstacle to early adjournment, now
that the statehood bill is out of tho
way.
One of the prominent features of the
bill proposed by tho State tax com
missioner is that it will compel the
assessment of property at its true
value. If it does this, we believe it
will lead to good results. Rut, if it
fails to be of sufficient strength to
cause this certainly to be done every
where in the state, then it is not
good.
At last Edward J. Addix is over
thrown as a candidate for U. S. Sena
tor in Maryland, to the honor of that
State and the satisfaction of every
American who careB for purity in
public life.
The bill prepared by our State tax
commissioner propose to make Coun
ty Treasurer, collector of taxes In
Mead of Sheillf. We doubt the wis
dom of this very much. The bill pro
pose to reduce the exemption from
fcUXMo f'JiH', and demonstrate how
that, a farmer owning exactly the
amount ami kind of property exempt
ed by our present statute may have
the full exempt ion while another
having property valued at the same
would have only ?'.. exempt.
; The editor who hopes to live to "see
; the secret ballot obsolete and voters
1 signing their names to their ballots,"
'Is evidently afraid to die, ami has
'adopted this ruse as an excuse for in
directly becgiug to lic forever.
The secret ballot will never be
on the contrary, every

to make it impossible for the voter to
make known how he otes. No other
factor is so powerful an agent in the
purification of politics.
Chamberlain was not elected (lov-
ernor of Oregon because he was a
Roosevelt Democrat. lie is personal
ly popular, and has not been a bud
(Jovernor. Heine known and liked,
he was easily accepted as a solace for
eve-y grievance, real or imaginary.
The beateu bosses, thinking to dis
credit the primary law, succeeded in
defeating one of its nominees only.

The whole case.
An enormous amount of land has
been bought from the state and practical-
paid for. but leaving a balance
due the state on which the annual in
terest is almost nothing, by which j
means they have escaped taxes on j
such lands for many years, the At-
torney lienend holding that such:
lands were not taxable while the title
remains iu the state. The bills recom-'
mended by the state commisioner will
make such land taxable. A good '
thing certainly.
The country awaits the Until action
i in Congress on the raihoad rate bill 1
j with almost breathless anxiety. The
I enactment of a reasonable law for the
! correction (if abuses by the transpor
tation companies, and its faithful en
forcement, will be the greatest victory
for the people against greed since the;
establishment of the government. 1
Those who, in the Senate oppose the
conferrence compromise on the state
hood bill, find little or no objection
to it other than that it may increase
the Republican majority in Congress.
The count rv has not grown great uu-1
der the leadership of statesmen ot
this character.
