This has heen proven in a court of record when a state treasurer the past year sued for the collection of hack interest on' funds thatwere proven to lie stnte funds ' , The abolition of lids system of paying state of ficers in direct, violation of the state constitution was agitated for six months before there yin any 'cam-, paign begun iutOregon. Tun .Touitis'AL published all tho laws and facts from the records on these mailers, and they were never called in question by anyone. The matter was made public and papers were scattered all over the state. The demand for this reform was acquiesced in by somo of the most prominent men in tho Republican and Democratic party. Notice was served1 on the po litical conventions and the demand was incorporated into their platforms. All the candidates for stnte ofllco had notice that this reform wauld bo demanded by (he people. What was done in the open light of day went into political history and then the campaign was begun. Tim Journal was solicitous that the iniittar not escape the attentidnOf candidates and both Oeer and Chamberlain readily assented to pledge their hearti est support' trr tills reform on tho campaign if nomin ated. Mr. Lowell replied and declared (hat this Hat sal ary reform could be enacted and was clearly the intent of the constKution. Other candidates replied favor ing the reform but never a word could bo got from Mr., Furnish. When Mr. Furnish was nominated he merely stated (hat ho stood on tho Republican platform. Whdn Mr. Chamberlain was nominated he flatly de clared himself heart and soul for Hat salaries. ' On the campaign it was supposed that Mr. Fur nish would declare himself. It was expected that he would do more thou be u merely perfunctory candidate- Hdiuding on a party platform, ns it rests largely with (ho chief executive of a people to shape and do claro tho revenue policies of the state for the people. Rut he has been onlirely negative on tho question that is of tho most vital importance to the people. At Salem prominent Republicans sought to iutorvicw him on (ho question but could extract no opinions. Chamberlain lias everywhere championed this re form and has gone so far as to say that ho would favor ' a special session of tho legislature to enact u Hat sal. nry law to-tako elt'ect before state oilldalH aro sworn Into ofllco in January. That Is tho utterance of a man who means what ho says and has no views to conceal on this matter. Contrast his outspokon declarations everywhere with tho muffled and muzzled utterances of Furnish, that he stands on the platform. Chamberlain Is positive and outspoken. The Republican nominee is a blank. Can Furnish blame anyono for concluding (hat ho is indifferent on a very vital matter? The people havo every reason to believe that no Hat salary law wll bo enacted if they elect Mr. Furnish governor. Tho Oregoninn has said there Is nothing in it for tho hoya, that u vote against Furnish In a vole against, retaining tho Philippine!) and that that In (ho great overshadowing issue in thin election. Cau tho people ho so blinded to their own inter ests an to elect a governor on a bogus innuo of retain ing tho Philippines when they have a ehunco to put into ulToct u Hat salary law that wll save them ?2QQ,. 000 In four yearn and remove one of tho groatst causes or legislative corruption? Under tho elrcumstancen they will bo justified In electing Mr. Chamberlain governor of Oregon by an overwhelming majority nud (hen ask Governor Oeyr (o call n special session of (ho legislature before, (lja regular session and pans a salary bill. The Initiative in with tho people if they want this reform. Tho ltiiftivliltaui platform fuyoru direct nomine lions, iii() (or tho first Ume In Oregon there is u fundi doty for P. B. senator on the Australian killoi. That man is T. T. (leer, a Republican (o the core, but Fur nish, Fulton, Matthews and their henchman, Bcott, are fighting him. They don't believe in the principle -and they're afraid of the man, Oeer. Scott the Real Bolter ff F MR. FURNISH should wake up the morn 11 ing after the election, with the impression II tlmt he has been struck with a brick house he can read the editorial page of the Oregon-ian-of May 30 th for an explanation. Under tho date mentioned wo are told that C. E. S. Wood has the ad vantage over Oeer, in the fact that he was nominated by a convention, while Geer nominated himself. Tin's translated means, "Gentlemen of the Push, the Hon. Jt Matthews directs me to instruct you to devote elec tion day to industriously sawing a hole into Mr. Geer's windpipe." And that you can best perform that pleasant task by voting for C. E. S. Wood by this means you will make Geer look liko a mutilated quar ter, and it is safe as Wood is a Democrat, and can't be elected anyway, and it will leave a clear Held for Charley Fulton to cpme prancing into the ring and walk oil with the whoje bakery. What could be more supremely beautiful? If nnybady calls us fusionists or otherwise than immaculate pure and patriotic, give him a rag time deal in the slats. By Sunday or Mon day at furthest, the Oregonian will openly espouse the cause of C. E. S. Wood. Tho Orcgoniaii accuses Geer of sulking in his tent and asks, "Upon what grounds can he appeal to the people for their endorsement?" Now, while we think of it, did Gov. Lord make a single speech for Geer? Did ho ever show a friendship for Geer's.eun dlducy? Yet Lord was the Oregonian's ideal of consis tency and party loyally. It is true Geer did not ask him for help. Did not need his assistance in fact. The people by an overwhelming majority stood by with their votes and cast them cheerfully on election day. If Governor Geer is the pitiful, insignificant subject for ridicule, as the Oregonian would indicate, why this persistent appeal to him from the friends of Furnish, "Save, O save him, or he jwrisli." The Oregonian is several kinds of n "chump" if it does not see that in these appeals it is giving Geer credit for being the most most potent factor in Oregon politics. One thing is sure Governor Geer is legally before the people. In the matter of political consistency and loyalty to. (ho tenets of the Republican parly, he is a bright and shining light in comparison with Uarvey 'Scott, or even Jack Matthews. He is (ho pioneer in trying to make a practical application of the law, to secure to the people the right to elect their United States senators by popular vote. J. .Matthews, H. Scott and Fulton also are all sweetly singing in per fect unison, "O, won't (here be a happy; happy time!" when this reform is consummated? And still every mother's son of (hem will show (heir rank duplicity by voting for O. 13. S. Wood. It is u cut and dried program, and not one of them will try truthfully to gainsay this statement, deer's friends should fully understand these facts and deal with' tho matter as it desorven.. Uy the way, why doesn't some one. tell Scott that there are other Republican candidates on the ticket besides Furnish and Judge Williams? Ho doesn't seem (o know it. It .Is All Fixed .?. Up for Oregon 'Wp' HID VOTE on the Philippine Civil Govern- 1 ment net in the senate of the United States 'tm . has been put off until after tho state elec tion. Tho Indian War Veteran's pension bill has been promised consideration by the speaker of tho house and will surely puss -after the election. After (he eleetiou Portland in to havo part of the . commissary trade of the army in the Philippines that ban all been going via the Paget Souud ports. Those things are all attended to and for God's sake vote for Furnish unless you want Oregon wiped olT the map of the world more completely than tho Island of Martinique. For forty yearn this state ban boon duped with just such HtuiT before election, and tho state has been made the football of u gang of selllsh Portland poli ticians. Its development has been retarded, population lum been kept out, its public lands-havo been stolen, its commerce tlirottlod, and its pride and publie spirit humiliated, by just such rot an the above thrown out to (ho people just before election. Of course, the voters will swallow it all and again turn Oregon over to (lie gang of incompetents like Geo. 11. WlRiamn, Hurvoy Scott, John H. Mitch ell, who nro helping Since, forty years to keep this state on a low plane politically. Closing Words for a Business Program fN thin campaign Tiiu JointXAL has fought for its own program, and for i(s own candidates, made up from the different tickets. The program consists of putting all state ofllcialn on fiat salaries, and turning all fees into the state treasury. This program had to be fought at the beginning of a four-year term of administration, or else let the state, government drag along In its present unsatisfac tory condition. In making this light Tin-: Journal has sought to he impersonal and non-partisan, and has so far suc ceeded that all three parties that have political plat forms have endorsed this demand for Hat salaries. Tiik Journal believes that the state ticket at the head of these columns should be'elected, and hns fully, . and, we believe, fairly, given its reasons, and now leaves the matter with its readers. Mr. Chamberlain, for governor, lias made .a gal lant and able fight, for the principles we advocate in state affairs, and if lie is elected they wil be carried into effect -faithfully and energetically and honestly. For state printer Mr. Godfrey should be elected, because he is competent, and will not resist the ell'orb to put that ofllco in tho salary class, and reduce the expenses of carrying it on in a creditable manner. J Four years ago this county was in debt 100,000 in round numbers. A fight was begun through Tiik Journal to reduce salaries and get out of debt, and (he Republicans were driven to make pledges. They were driven by the opposition to promise to get the county out of debt and to run the county for a current, expense of as near $-10,000 a year as possi ble. Ry the aid of energetic work on (he part of a Dem ocratic tax collector, and through the faithful co-operation among Republican officials, the current ex penses of the county were reduced" to 15,000 a year. The floating county debt has been wiped out and the county treasury 1ms a cash surplus-,- and with g(tpd management at least 125,000 to the good stands to the credit of tho Republican county government. This result has been possible by a faithful non partisan Citizens' administration of "this city for the past three years. That city administration hns ?50, 000 to the good compared with four years preceding. Tho Citizens' city government stopped running all fee bills against the county, and this justice district has also had a hayseed administration, and has run as few bills as possible against the county. Still we believe when county officials do well the fact should be recognized, and for this reason Tub Journal advocates the elect ion of (he entire Republi can county ticket. Tho Republicans have wiped out the debt, stop ped bad leaks, reduced current expenses lowei than any county in the stnte of our population one-half lower than Clackamas, with less wealth and people than Marion. They have kept their pledges, and the people should stand by the ticket in Marion county, and we believe they will. If we' wore speaking to the people of Clatsop, Olnckamarf or Polk counties, and some other counties, we should stand by the Citizens' ticket in those conn ties. The Republicans in those counties have run up a record just opposite from Marion. The Republican legislative ticket in Marion conn ty deserves hearty support b.ccnuso the convention was fairly conducted, and no attempt was made to shut out the minority in making up the ticket. Roth factions of the Republican party are repre sented on the Marion county legislative ticket. All the nominees are pledged to go into a fair caucus, and pledged to secure a direct nomination law. TJio three senatorial nominees Croisan, Furrnr and riohson are men of character and stability, and the five candidates for representatives are better than the average that are put up for that poorly paid office. It is Of tho greatest importance (o the city of Sa lorn that n solid, harmonious delegation be elected for this county. The city of Salem has a great future, and an united delegation is very important. Tun Journal does not advise anyone to scratch a single man on the Republican county or legislative ticket. If Republicans, for personal or other reasons, scratch any man on tho Republican ticket, we can con' sclent lously ask (hem to veto for W. T. Sla(or, of Sa lem, or Mayor Tomlinson, on the Democratic ticket this is loft to your judgment, as well as ours. For justice of the peace and constahlo Tiih Jouiuwvl is supporting (he present incumbents, and can vouch for them as honest and ofllclont. In conclusion Tub Journal reiterates its 'do mauds for better business management in-public nf. fairs. In this i-ity a business administration has reduced current expenses' CO per cent and improved the government - v In this county the introduction of better bush methods hns reduced current expenses from Sonnn! to ?4B,000 a year. 'O00 If our state officials are put on flat salaries, full and fairly compensative, they will be well paii 50;000 a year saved to the taxpayers. ' If revenue bills aro passed to tax the gross earnin of franchises now entirely escaping taxation ?100000 can be added to the annual income of the state. ' These policies for which Toe Journal contend in state affairs will hurt no one, rind will relieve tl overburdened land owners, who now pay nineteo twentieths of all the state taxes. A business program would mnko a difference of 150,000 a year to the good in the state treasury, and if tho people do not take this up and put it Into ef. feet, after what has been' demonstrated in Salem nnl Marion county, it will' be-their-own fault if theysulTc from high taxes, nrnV'thc values dPproperty arc de pressed and industries 'languish. - Tub Journal has done its duty. The voters must do the rest. A Law to Line Up Voters jm HE EUCFDNE REGISTER is pursuing the 1 arduous and sometimes Unprofitable career m of conducting :n party Organ. It says: "The Register joins with other party p pers in tho county fighting the battles' of the llcpubli can party year in and year out, day and night and even on Sundays, keeping up the 'routine of newsp per work that helps in muintu'iiiing-the party organi zation. In view of this fact would it be justice to the Republican papers of the county for a Republican majority to give the hcriff's ofllco to Democratic pa pers, especially after they have already had the office for four years by courtesy of Republican votes?" It argues that a newspaper that fights the battles of a sheriff in a campaign ought to have the business of that official's office. It wants a law to Hue up the voters to vote the whole party ticket, from the stand point that the party exists to give the organ businesi It says: "Why should there be one law of politics for a newspaper and another law for the voters of its party. The Register is expected to support every candidate on the county Republican ticket and there would boa howl go up from all over the county if we did not do so. Why should not tho same rule apply to the voters within the party ranks." No Place for the Snobbish 'Fraternity gl" N n recent article in the World's Work, on the II subject of the Leland Standford, Jr., Unt il vorsity, William Irwin says that the poor student there is the rule that the man who waits on (he (able at the Standford Inn goes out after ward to sing on the steps with the man whom liehai just served. After presenting this picture of a fine democracy, Mr. Irwin qualifies it in the following words : The fraternities-object to-mnnunl labor by their members; otherwise no Stanford student finds that work affects his social standing. Since "the fraternities object to manual labor bj their -members," Mrs. Lelnnd Stanford and the far ulty of the university should object to the fraternities. When these social organizations decline to admit within their circle a young man or young woman be 'Cttueho or 'she 'has to work for a living while going through the university, the ostrncization is as com pleto ns though it was pronounced by the university Itself.
