THE STATE ISSUE
YORK.
IN NEW
Legislative extravagance Is not,
nloiie the lsue In Oregon.
Governor Morton's special message
to t lie legislatme, In which lie urged
the need of the strictest economy In
the appropriations, will be endorsed
he everyone as a very timely commu
nication and It Is hoped the law
makers of that state will heed the In
junctions therein contained better
than the Oregon solons-heeded Gov
ernor Lord. There Is no doubt that
every year largo sums of tho tax pay
ers' monoy arc appropriated for ths
benefit of certain restricted localities
and tho public pays tho hills. Year
after year bills are Introduced to Im
prove public buildings In a most ex
travagant and unnecessary manner
and the money when obtained, while
nominally used for tho purposo di
rected, Is mado a political lever. It Is
well understood that more than one
county sold Its poor house and farm
to tho state last year for twice what
It is worth and other counties arc
taxed to pay the bill whlloothcrcoun
ties will come forward with bills ap
propriating from fifty thousand .dol
lars upwards for Improvements on
Its Normal Schools or other state
buildings. Tlieso appropriations aro
asked for every year and generally ob
tained when thero Isn't tho slightest
need of them. It Is only a chronic
habit that our legislators have fallen
Into to get all thoy can for their dis
tricts whether nocded or not. Thtt
part of Governor Morton's message In
which ho says: "As guardians of tho
public Interests and custodians of
public fundd, the paramount question
should bo, when considering tho ap
propriation of tho people's money,
'can this expenditure bo deferred
without Injury to tho public Inter
ests, until business shall have re
sumed its normal activity?' " should
bo heeded. Those who do not show
their desire to rcllovo taxation should
bo remembered and settled with at
tho polls when tho opportunity o iters.
Board up tho city hall until the
city's Interest burden Is reduced.

IT ADVOCATES POPULAR MEASURES
Characteristic Letters From All
Kinds of People.
JJhpphenomonul circulation of tho
Weekly Capital Journal In all the
postomces or Western Oregon causes
a great deal of comment, and needs
some explanation. Orders keep pour
ing in uy every man, ana wiuio names
aro struck oil the list as soon as a sub
scription expires tho additions sur
pass the expirations.
IT IS THE CHEAPEST
Weekly in tho state. Ono year 81.00,
six months GO cents, thrco months 25
cents. At this low price all can afford
to take an Oregon weekly, and these
hard times they naturally take the
cheapest. It Is too cheap to do with
out It, and conducted on tho cash In
advance basis, they know they will
not have a hill run on them.
THE PEOPLE WANT IT.
The peoplo will not pay cash in ad
vance for a paper unless they want It
and appreciate it. The Weekly Is
as popular as The One Cent Daily
which Is conceded to be the most pop
ular daily in Western Oregon. A man
brought in a silver half dollar the
other dav and ordered it for two
months. Ho said: "1 can't get work
this winter. I can get along without
one meal a day. Hut I can't, get along
without The One Cent Daily.
These long, cloudy, rainy, wlnterdays
It comes a welcome messenger to cheer
the whole family." Tho people feel
the same way about the Weekly.
I.;. FROM NETARTS HAY.
comes a cheering letter from a subscri
ber at Nctarts, Oregon who encloses a
dollar and writes:
"Dear Editers: The Journal
