ATES OP SUBSCRIPTION. .STK1CTL.V IN AUVANCB.) ditorial Snap Shots irectly a city marshal under- ?s to do his duty, there are se who want to depose him. flie persons who should have in tapped on the head by the kshal’s “billy” were those b sold Johnson the drink Jch made him crazy. 1 has been suggested that the bamook Commercial Club lertake a “Tag Day” for the tfit of Stillwell Park. This jild cause some little excite- ht in the city, as well as help bod cause. Governor West vetoed the bill appropriating $1500 for the pro posed Tillamook county fair. We expected that he would do so. He used the veto power to spank his political enemies and to assist his friends. All that this county as-ed was $1,500 to wards boosting the county, for that was what the fair was in tended. That which ma es us feel righteously indignant is the fact that GovernorWest allowed a bill appropriating $150,000 for additional capitol grounds, and the enormous appropriations for state institutions to become law. Poor Tillamoo* County gets it where the chicken got the ax when asking for a mite to help a good cause along. And Governor West was the man who used the ax. was molested and he used the "billy” to good advantaget not that he thought he would take the man’s life when tie struck the fatal blow, although the real cause of the man’s death was the fracture he re ceived when his head hit the hard pavement. The testimony showed that the marshal did not swing the “billy,” but sim ply tapped the man on the side of the head, and his skull being utisually thin, the fall was the thing which caused the unfor tunate fatal death. It is those City Marshal Reading who should be blamed. It is those who sold the unfortunate man the drink which made liim crazy. These are the men who are morally guilty of the tragedy which disgraced this city last Monday. supplies to the state, on very flimsy grounds ; and lie vetoed another bill that gave to the chief clerk of the Secretary of State, in the absence —probably permanent—of Secretary of State Henson, the authority to sit with the Governor and State Treasurer Kay as a third member of state boards. Mr. Kay, through his Salem Woolen Mills, has a large customer for his goods in the state. Just how closely aie these vetoes related to the obvious political part nership between West and Kay ? Governor West vetoed, with a great flourish, the state-aid road bill, making a conditional appropriation of $340,000, on the ground of “econo- ffiy,” after the veto had been re quested by the State Good Roads Association. He vetoed the innum erable petty appropriations to coun ty fairs and other little salary grabs. Yet he raised no question over the great appropriations forthe Oregon Agricultural College or the State University, though to one certain $175,000 appropriation to the latter, and another $30,000 appropriation for a new medical school (located at Portland), there was a wide spread protest and no satisfactory showing that they were imperatively, or ac tually needed at this time. What part did backstairs intrigue—the old familiar logroll play in these vetoes ? The Governor freely vetoed meas ures that came front hie political enemies. Bills from hie avowed friends, allies and partisans, gener ally escaped, though there were some notable exceptions. He per mitted himself to be drawn into un seemly conflicts and wrangles with vaiious legislators, and he took rather more than a due measure of interest in the promotion, or the de feat, as the case might be, of cer- pieces of legislation. The highway from the Governor’s office to the legislative chambers was kept warm by the flying feet of hie emissaries; the route through the back door was reserved for his familiar and chosen advisers. When the full history of those fa mous vetoes shall be written, and the antecedent stories and collateral incidents shall be told, they will make interesting reading. There is opportunity now for the informed and impartial legislative historian, familiar with the sinuous ways and angular methods of latter day poli ticians, to acquire a great circle of surprised and amazed Oregon read ers. —Oregonian.
