CHALLENGE TO SCOTT To Print the Records of the Legislature. LET THE PEOPLE KNOW How the Portland Machine Gang Broke Al! Pledges. Mr. Harvey Scott, edlUr Oregenian: You are publishing all the abuse heaped upon the legislature for failure to keep platform pledges that Demo cratic and Populist paper can print, besides what you can invent. You are crucifying tho party between two thieves, as It were. We make you the following propesition: Will you print the state nnd county platform pledgcs,and'the names of tho Republican members who introduced and voted for measures to kcop those pledges? Will you print tho roll-calls on those measures and all questlonsof economy that came up In both houses, as re corded In the printed journals of tho legislature? Will you print the names of Repub lican senators and representatives who incurred expenditures for lllfji priced clerks, Investigating com mlttccs, mileage and perquisites? Print these facts In your own paper and let the public Judge whether It was tho Portland gang, "tho thirty," or whoever It was that failed of their duty to the people and party. You keep charging that the legis lature was recreant In its duty. That -is a question of fivcU upon the record. Will you glvo tho people tho facts and allow them to Judgo for thorn B3lves, instead of continually misrep resenting them ? Aro you willing to allow your friends, Paxton, Long and Simon, whom you put forward to demand an extra session and as apostles of Re publican economy allow them to Bhlne In the electric blazo of their own records, Instead of -crucifying the whole Republican party for their sins and short comings? Will you do It ? Dare you tell the truth ? Dare you deny that these men pass ed the electric-light contract bill, the text book contract bll Hn'03,defeated repeal of tho railroad commission, slaughtered reform In the, house of Its friend? If you dare then you dar6 publish tho legislative record. If you are afraid, then you Btand coudemed as a fraud beforo tho pcoplo of Oregon. You wrote a reform platform and then sent a gang to tho legislature (except two men you could not con trol) to prevent thoso reforms and and break all their pledges. We challenge you to publish the legislative proceedings from the re cords, which tho people cannot other wise obtain except at $4.00 a set. LOWER THE TAXES. Marlon county reduces taxes, has wiped out her floating debt and given the people a good economical admin istration. The city of Salem has lived within its Income the past year and will re duce the tax levy two mills. Salem school district has been en larged and a much reduced lovy should be made.

Miss Mat tlo Overman has demanded tho right to appear before tho board of inquiry ( which Is to try tho charges of Immor ality brought against Rev. Dr. C. O. Brown, and give her version of tho affair, which has sodlstrcsscd tho pco plo of tho church and interested tho public. Miss Overman lias prepared a voluminous document, and, llko tho Rov. Dr. Brown, Insists upon tho , privilege of reading It to tho mem bers of tho Joint committee. Her re quest was discussed nt somo length, and tho opinion prevailed that it should be granted. Tho statement of tho young woman is very long, reviewing all tho inci dents which havo become public prop erty slnco tho arrest of Mrs. Davidson. Particular attention Is paid to the lot tors which Miss Overman wrote to her friend, Mrs. Tunnell. Theso let ters will constitute ono of tho most Important features of tho inquiry. Tho committee Is particularly anxious to know whether or not thoy aro gen uine. When they aro convinced of that fact by Inspection, thoy will then Institute a very rigid cross-oxamlna-. tlon. In asking to appear beforo tho board of Inquiry Miss Overman submit her self to Us rules. Her statement will form tho basis for cross-examination of a very thorough character. Judg ing by the slzo of the written state ments of facta, Mlas Overman will tako about three hours to read tho paper. Whqn she shall read It has not been determined. Miss Oveaman had prepared two very elaborate statements of her con nection with tho caso. Ono of them Is In tho possession of'lhe police, and tho othor Is still held by the young woman, pending the action of Inquiry. Tho first of theso documents has now become of tho greatest Importance, Itecauso It was made at a time when the letters which wore written by Miss Overman to Mrs Tunnell were not known to th public. The first document, It may lw Interesting to khow, was dictated to the police bo fore Christmas, nnd no refcrenc whatever Ismadcto the letters penned to Mrs. Tunnell. Theso letters were prlvato property then, and so far as known only two pursuns wore nwnro of their contents. Miss Overman's defense was made up of other material. Sho mot the charge or Mm. Davidson upon other grounds. She was ready to produce letters which were written to her by Dr. Brown nt tho very time Mrs. Davidson charged thatnn amour was In progress. Theso letters, as already related,aro barren of the suggestion of nllectlon. They will still form n strong part of tho case as Dr. Drown and Miss Over man will present it to tho hoard of inquiry. But In view or tho second document, which was furnished yes terday, and to which detailed refer ences was nnilo last night, tno Brown lettors constitute an in Incident .of only minor luportaucc. In tho second statement Miss Overman lays particular stress upon tho letters which sho wrote to Mis. Tunnell. Theso Iott rs must bo ex plained. Thccommittco Isa unit In tho opinion that theso letters form tho most Important- feature of tho In vestigation. In tht second statement Miss Overman tries to supdly tho ex planation.
