Bbitotial page of tbe journal DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOP MENT OF OREGON. Petition for the Special Session t 'nti Journal prints the petition again for n special session of the legislature. This means that the governor is to call a special session of the legislature to enact the flat salary law. This means that till state oftlcials are to he placed on a fixed salary, as was intended by the constitution of Oregon. , It means that they are to be estopped from taking fees and perquisites in unknown amounts, all of which ure prohibited by the constitution. It means that a saving shall be effected of ?r0,000 a year, by turning all fees and perquisites now taken into'' the state treasury. This means a net saving In four years of $200,000, Which cannot be accomplished unless the governor calls a special acssion before New Years. Tho special session means that the initiative and referendum amendment shall be put into effect and force as against the regular session. This means that politicians who have been lulvo eating direct legislation and flat salaries shall face the music, and give it to the people. It means that with the direct legislation club, in their hands the people can kill off bad laws enacted at the regular session. It means Unit the people are supreme, and their will must be respected and enacted into law when they haVo voted for what they want. ' That is what it means, and if you believe it is right, cut out the petition and sign and circulate it, and forward it for transmission to the governor. .. - . .. ,.. rxf llStl 1lH.V where he is called on in tne perium...... , ... ..--, to collect such large amounts of money, knowing that he has a wife and two children to care for, "you are simply inviting him to commit a crime, or at least exposing him to temptation, and it is wrong." The judge said he believed West, the prisoner to be a good man, and that-had his salary been even as much us ?o ,nom per week lie never would have been exposed to temptation. "If he had been paid $25 a week, as he fchould have been paid, lie would have had 500 in the hunk, instead of being here convicted. of embezzle ment." The decision of Judge Dunne is well worth so rlous consideration by all who give employment to others. ly responded, and have granted a fallen but never hu miliated race very liberal terms. We rejoice to see that the Hoew have accepted the terms, and are zealous to see thai I hey ure kept to the letter. They will become most loyal, devoted and re spected subjects of King Edward. They deserve to be free and independent, but an over-ruling Providence decreed otherwise. They hum bly accepted that decree, with the respect of the whole civilized world. Kitchener to Be Re warded and for What n A War Tax on Rand Mines Diploma a Poor Leyer P EIIHAPS the greatest handicap of a young college graduate, on entering the world or action, is his unbounded faitli in the prac tical value of ills academic education, even though seconded by no great effort on his part. After Hpending four years in solving theoretical problems, grappling with Greek conjugations and .Latin trans lutions, and stuffing his head with ancient and mod ern history, with facts concerning science, and with ,uny other unrelated brunches of knowledge, he feels himself vastly superior to the shrewd, practical man of business, who has not the advantage of a college training. . Instcnd of turning up Ids sleeves and going to rk at the bottom of the ladder in his chosen field bus chosen one, or in taking advantage oi ti.e H won if the Small Salaries and Honesty s UDQE EDWARD P. DUNNE, of the criminal X court of Chicago, bus recently rendered a do T cisfon that is of interest to every business - man in the country. It was the case of the HtntJ versus William G. West, an cmployo of the pack ing house of Nelson, Morris & Co., who was charged by that company with embezzlement. West, a young married man, about 510 years of age, who was living with and supporting a wife and two children, had charge of a meat car for the firm, and cnyh week-load- . ed tho car in Chicago, and then took it to Aurora, male ing six or eight stops at small towns along the way to make deliveries to small dealers. West collected the money for all his deliveries, and twice a week made a written report and turned in his money, amounting Homctimcfl to as high us 3000. For doing all this work and occupying a position of trust in which thou sands 6f dollars passed through his hands ho was paid $15 per week. Tho company Hint employed him pushed tho prosecution and wanted him sent to tho ponitun tiary, but Judge Dunno found him guilty of cinbc zliug 15, thus Having him from tho penitentiary, and sentenced him to servo thirty days in Jail. In rendering his decision Judgo Dunne told tho employers of West that when they asked a man to take such a responsible position at such a small salary, ami h,d oniiorlunity that offers, if lie has not this over confident young man, who thinks that the world has been wailing for him to get his diploma, says to him self: "Why should I begin at tho bottom of the lad der,'or take any opening that presents itself, like a hoy who has never seen the inside of a college? No, T shall wait for a good opportunity and a fitting mil ury." lie feels Hint he is a Mahomet to whom the mountain must come; and so he fiourisl.es his diploma and waits.

Hut Thh Jouunai. is glad peace lifts been secured on such hoifornhlc terms alike for victor and van quished. England has virtually granted terms of peace, In stead of dictating thorn paid the costs of the war and of peace. The magnanimity of tho great-hearted General Delaroy, when ho returned General Lord Methuen to tho HritlMi lines after he was wounded and taken pris oner opened the way for peace. Tin ltritish have nobly, honorably and generous- wonBHonnm N a final statement made in the Ilouse of Com mons on Wednesday night the British chan cellor of the exchequer said one of the first I'ltfiMiw fo he considered was the determina tion of how the revenues derived from the mineral wealth of the Transvaal could be allotted so as to pro vide interest on a portion of the war debt, The Chron icle surmised that the provision in the terms of peace relieving land property from special taxation would not exempt these mining properties. The statement of SlrOlicheal llicks-Bcuch makes no concealment of the government's intention, which is to imposea special tax on mineral products equal probably to the pro rata of the cost of the conduct of the war in the Trans vaal colonv. Coal and gold are at present the two mineral productions of the colony. The gold mines of the Knnd are, of course, the largest producers and they will, therefore, be forcedto bear the brunt of the tax. Tho latter is something in the nature of retribu tion. These gold mines were undeniably the cause of tho war. The avariciousness bred by their develop ment excited the national greed for the absolute con trol of the territory in which they lie. It is only right that they should pay the penalty which its acquisition has cost. The owners of these mining properties wprc theloudestin their complaints against the Boer govern ment and its methods. Their insistent clamoring for relief for their alleged grievances fanned the war spirit into an active fian.e. The war was conducted in their interest. Manifestly they should pay or it. Of course, they raised a tremendous protest against the intimation which the. chancellor of the exchequer.innde some time ago when advocating a new war grant, that the mining properties would have to recoup the British treasury for the enormous outlay it was making in their behalf. The protest has been unavailing. The imposition of a special tax will, doubtless, be unpopular in the Band district, but it will strengthen the government with the British people. What will be the nature of the tax remains to be dis closed. It will probably be in tho form of a perecnt age on the value of the output. The latter will amount to about -?r0,000,000 this year, and next year it may reach $100,000,000, which was the maximum annual output when war was declared. The government ex poets, of course, a big revival in exploitation also as a result of peace, and the opening of new productive properties. The fact that rnrlinmont is asked to re sume the sinking fund indicates, also, that large rev- -, . . t... .1......... r.titut t.tiu Bmiiji enues are expected 10 no inmni uwiu !" .-....,. . ..it.!.... t.1 iwlmivn in N some ways, mere is hoiiiuuhhjs w the manner in which Great Britain rcwarus her generals, and yet at the same time there is something deserving of coiuiemnauou. Usually a general in the British army gets an ho is worth in the way of salary, and sometimes more. Certainly a candid critic of tho recent Boer war would decide that the average commander in the Brit ish armv is shamefully overpaid.

As Lord Koberts, who did not whip the Boers, got 500,000, certainly Lord Kitchener, who was pres ent when terms of peace were agreed to, is entitled to as 'much.

The expendi tures in November, 1809, were (i,545,f:U; for 1000, 5,512,000, and for 1001, 0,335,000. The remainder of the 20,000,000 is estimated for 1002. The number of immigrants arriving in the United States during the first three months of 1902 was i:i7,4S0, of whom 110,481 entered at the port of New York. In April 7:,H07 immigrants were landed at the port of New York alone, and 82,05 1 during the month of May.
