For twenty year, or longer, it has

tbe subject and object of serious at- j
tack or of searching ridicule.
t But tbe session to convene here nvxt '
month appears! to be doomed in ad-'
vanee. Many f the paper are already
censuring it in .theHstrongest terms for!
what tbey are certain it intends to do. j
Tbey have east a horoscope . of coming j
legislative events and the result re-1
veals a season of revelling in the state's J
funds that 'makes the taxpayer shndder,
as he reads of (he shameful and shame-.,
Um rnids the j alleged representatives '
of the people have tip their sleeves. .
It has Ixrn rrdlctcil that nn ' af-'

breaker in tbe matter of grafts."
.Men arc selected from the various
counties by the peoide, and these very
j papers which are now throwing a fit as
(they view the prospective raid on the
j treasury in the fortherauce of grafts,
urged their election and the duty of
every voter to "stand by this most ex
cellent ticket.'" Tbe voters did , but
now, that the advice was tnken and the
men so chosen are to assemble as our
duly accredited lawmakers, they are to
I tc ecnsurcq in auvance as an aggrrga
ition of vultures whose labors are cer
tain to be influenced, not by the peo
ple's interests, but by tbe importunities
of unconscionable "grafters."
And yet, if. one of the men voting
for the largest number of appropria
tions were re-nominated two years
hence, bis party friends would probably,
stand by him to a man. .
Who will point out some important
appropriation that will not be defended
by practically all tbe peopb of every
party in the locality where its benefits j
arc to be prineinally mirp One pa per ;
which sees many places where saving
may be effected, one week pointed out
that by "equalizing the Normal
Bchoois," 20,000 might be saved, and
the next week it doubles the amount to
be thus, saved and puts it at $40,000.
Hut few men could bo found in any
county where a Normal School is lo
cated, of any party, who do not believe
their section of the state is "entitled
to some recognition."
There are, no donbt, manr places
where more economy might be prof
itably practised. Perhaps it will be.
We hope it may, but it is not at all
fair to brand injidvanec the legislators
soon to assemble in Salem as a gather
ing of grafters who can only be "held
down" by constantly holding lK-fore
their unsettled visions the spectral form
of a Democratic Governor who has his
oars to the ground for political pur
poses, s
Let us at least not utterly discourage
our Kepublican representatives in ad
vance by. notifying them that our only
hope for rational work lies in the
knowledge'that a Democratic snag rears
Its threatening ontlines in tbe sea of
legislation soon to be traversed. ;
Who knows but that some really
good men managed to get into the leg

AN OPEN RIVER.
be
At
During the last yrat the Statesman
has frequently directed attention to the
ncccssitv of government improvements
upon the j Willamette river which will
result in its navigation from Portland
to Corvallis, if not further south, ihir
ing the entire year.
The term "An Open River," should
not flpply; exclusively to the Columbia.
The Willamette is not an open river in
the sense it nhould be. Even the locks
nt Oregon City aro not free, for ship
pers are compelled to pay toll for every
pound of produce sent through- them.
Hut this is not so bad a feature of
the river; transportation probitm as the
neglect' of the gravel bars that not only
interfere! wtih easy navigation to Sa
lent during the summer months, but pre
vent it altogether for several months
each year to all points south of this
city. '. " ; , ,
If our Congressional delegation had
given tbU matter half the attention its
importance deserves, this difficulty
would long since have been removed.
Millions; have been secured for the im
provement of other rivers, as well as
our harbors, all of whka was tbe result
of commendable efforts, but the princi
pal inland river of the state should
also have been a Lcoeficiarv of the.
munificent appropriations.
Nav'igVi-m of ttt Willamette rivt
is not obetrncted by roelty impediments
wUoee removal would be an excusjvo
undertaking. Only a few gravel bars are
in tne way, turougu wb.th narrower
channels eould b easii- and ehcaidr

Congress to take the matter
up and
j push it to a
sueccti.td con?jnjon.
There is an abundance of vat-r in tbe
Willamette river at its lowest stag to
accommodate boats with much deeper
draft than those which run to Salem
in the stimmer, if it wore confined
within a narrower channel. This effect
can be easily accomplished 'by a system
of dredging when needed. ,
The Nalem Commercial Club should
make it a part of its duty to join handi
with the people of Albany in this mat
ter and never let up until our delega
tion in Congress gives it whatever at
tention is necessary to seciye an open
river for uninterrupted navigation i

AS TO OUR STREETS.
A corrcsjtondent of lhf Hta&sman
eigning himself "Almtter," s opposed
to the immediate improvement of our
trcets, evidently, but' admits thnft tf ey
ar. muddy, though . a degreeT of con
solation is derived from the fWt t'nat
" lAndouers say they have mud even
toere." But that very fact should stir
us to better things, .for haven't we
been taught to hold in aversion every
thing that smacks of "aping the Mrit
Wiersf" Indeed, !.ondon mud is no
nstificntion for Knlem mud.
This esteemed- corrcsiwnd-.'nt also
says " complaint is made that onr streets

without muddying' MoeS, except St

But what if this correspondent irotks

This, though, is not4impoctant.
If for a month in the winter there

AN IRIDESCENT DREAM -
The Pendleton Tribune is not far
wrong, if wrong at all, when it sug
gests that a session of the coming Leg
islature lasting but one week, eould
easily enact all the -legislation the
state needs at this time, bat admits
that when it meets , it will probably
"stav oiet?' for the full term of forty
days. ,
But this eould be said at almost any
period in the state's history within tbe
past twenty years. At this time, for
instance, there is no crying need for
any kind of legislation. The people are
not demanding any sort of relief that
;an come from legislative enactment.
About the only thing tbe people ask
is Jess legislation along tbe line of ap
propriation bills. y-
But when pur law-making body meets
and the presiding officers announce that
it is in order to introduce bills, the air
will be full of waving bands and about
in voices frantically asking for. rec
ognition. The calendar will be filled
with propositions, new and amendatory,
to look after tbe interests of tbe people
who don't want ttey looking after.
.This is the one fault to bo always
expected of the Legislature. -We are
already ove4urdened with legislation.
Our people arc getting along splendidly
in every respect and are not ' making
complaints" of any character, .at least,
such defects as they have sometimes
named, might beeured with the min
imum of legislation. .
A legislator is not necessarily obliged
to legislate in order to prove himself
capable of legislating. Ills whole duty
is performed wben be looks into the
condition of the state and decides bow
little, not how much, legislation will
inswer the purpose.
It is to be hoped," and expected, that
the. members soon "to" come together
will take this view of tbeir duties and
keep their hands off, a far a is "eoin
patible with the publie interests," our
existing statutes. We. have ewry rea
son to believe they will be as econom
ical as possible and cut the -expenses
of the state down to the Idwest reason
able point, but the fault of excessive
general legislation is quite likely to
prevail. -r
LET ECHO ANSWER.
, While the streets of the Capital City
of Oregon we mean all its streets
ire covered with a coating of mud that
renders thorn impossible of crossing by
footmen, save tm the crosswalks, the
little town of Kcho, in Umatilla coun
ty with a population- of scarcely DOO,
has decided to apply crude petroleum
to three blocks of its streets as a
means of subduing both mud in winter
and dust in summer. -
As town after town in Oregon is
grappling with this question of paving
or resort, to other means of street im
provement, we ron tent ourselves with
hauling a few loads of dirt and gravel
tod dumping them on the worst part of
onr streets solely as a means of de
ceiving ourselves into tbe belief that
we have been ."improving" them.
When paving is mentioned, the objee
lion is raised that it will anwer tbe
purpose precisely us well if we soould
macadamize, but the trouble is we
neither pave nor macadamize. If it
should be seriously proposed to maead
smize the strei ts, there would immedi
ately arhe a group of men who would
emphatically oppose the idea with iht
contention that gravel can be had for
the bnuling. '
Ho, between the clashing of the dif
ferent propositions, ,we eontinuo to
point with ride to the beauties of onr
Cnpital City ns wo send abroad glowing
accounts of its inducements to new
comer.
In the meantime, while the little vil
lage of Kcho can afford to adopt the
California system of oil roadways, Sa
fem consoles itself with the reflection
that the Willamette river year by year
continues i to deposit tbe very finest
quality of gravel and sand at its very
doors, which can be easily and c'aeapJy
obtained and this r an -advantage
over Echo- which in the long run wiU
decide the contest , between us in our
favor, nnd then where will our - rival
bet .'
Let Echo answer. " '
A STATE FAIR 7 OT COURSE.
Tbe, 8tate Board of Agrienlture hits
acted wisely' in its decision to hold
Stated Fair next yee.r witbvat ref-srenee
to tbe Lewis and Clark Exposition.' The
Fair is a permanent; state institution,
having been here, and doing a good
business longer 'than most of the- peo
ple of Oregon can remember.. Inci
dentally, the. Portland. Fair has eome
alonr. and. while its , benefits to the'
state at Urge will be far-reachieg, the
annual 8Ute Fair is in no wiseunder

Just what niotivp he been behind
the few suggestions which have been
made looking toward abandoning the
Fair next year, is not clear,, but certain
it is that the proposition should not be
seriously considered. Kvery effort
should be made, and will be, for the

some visitors from Portland into the
state" at large, where they belong, for
one week .out of four months?
Let the Legislature d4 its duty to
ward the State Fair, as usual, and wf
nope it will nave the unanimous, sup
port of all loyal Oregcnians, especially
of the managers of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. It is believed, however,
that tbey have offered'no objection t
holding a tstnte Fair in ll03.
The remarksvf the Oregonian, pub
lished yesterday morning, upon the re
cessity for providing a se'iiool for de
fective youfh are worthy of more tkan
a parsing notice. Under our present
tfstem and facilities eveiy man,, wo
man and child in the state who is
little wrong mentally and some whose
complaints ar. more physical than ctb
erwise, is trundled off to the asylnm
for the insane. The result in, as might
be expected, an aggregation of really
insane people, the idotic, the feeble
minded, morphine victims, many who
are merely destitute and. should lie in
the eouniy poor houe, and. others who,
apparently, ere not wanted iSt . home,
anyway. . There should be 'a general
sifting proeew applied all along the
line and tho real unfortunates classified
according to their ailments. It would
be less exfHti'sive in the long run and
decidedly more humanitarian in its
general effect.
No, indeedy, the Statesman hai not
intended to bo guilty of ''praising the
next Legislature." It ha only tried
(o givo its member a elwnce, and not
adjudge them jis public grafters in Ad
vance, of conviction. The Htatesmen is
of opinion that when you" earnestly
insist upon the people supporting n cer
tain ticket during the campaign, in the
interests of the country, and tho people
do so, and the men composing that
ticket are elected, it is altogether un
fair to immediately begin to warn tbe
people against the mort you huve ad
vised them to select ns tbeir represent
atif'es. tfeef Especially does this pa
per object to censuring the men we
have all supported at the polls, as dis
honest derelicts before they have leen
sworn into the offlees we wanted them
to fill in advance of any public pet
upon Ithelr part. The next Legislature
may prove to lt. full of grn iters, brt
tti$ only fair to wit hold censure until
they actually b-gin to graft. ''Hufli-
cient unto th day is the evil thereof,"
or words to that effect.
