AN INDEPENDENT DAILY PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. fl fl .v I- V $ V,4 t. MANNATURALLY WANTS WHAT .18 RIGHT. Man naturally tonda to harmony. People nalsirally Incllno to want wuat,lB right under frco political Insti tutions. Everybody In Oregon who has hoard ho facts wants a flat Balary law passed for our stato ofllalals, Our ntato officials thomaolvco want that, ft tho personal and political pvcsBuro Is taken off thotu. Tho big politicians cannot show how thoy Would be hurt if tho stato of- flclats woro all put on flat salaries. Ho'w could It hurt Mitchell, or q , Uaryoj Scott, or Chnrloy Fulton to imiu uiw iiuvu wuu ui ma HIDIU ru- dolvo a fixed amount?

JIow much do thoy squooza out of tho secretary of stato ,nnd stato printer's prlncoly incomes to carry nu election with? While nlL tho pcoplo who nro not Blmrlng In thOBo grafts nro demanding flat salaries, tho managers who share In tho profit seem "to ho opposed to this reform, Do thoy express tho will of tho peo plo? Do thoy stand for tho host thought and Uio longing for Justlco and fair piny In public affairs? In short tho managers wnnt what Is wrong, want to go bnok on what thoy declared, was right, for thoy shnro In' and reduced taxes In tho county near ly three mills. It has safo and Conner vntlvo county govornmont. It pur sues reasonably clonn and fair conven tion methods. Tho counsol nnd leadership of such mon as control tho party In Marlon county would ho a means of grnaa nnd salvation to tho party In tho stato as compared to Multnomah county methods. Republican loaders horo.wlll stand for bolter policies In tho organisation of tho loglBlaturo than those who pur- Btio tho game of personal politics from tho Portland standpoint. pjMiin I PETITION TO THE GOVER "mm POLITICAL A8PECT OF FLAT SAL ARIES. Tho political factions aro seeing all kinds of politics m tho special session proposition but what, Is really In It. Tho Democratic papors of the stato aro very cool toward tho special sen slon, as they know very woll that fail ure to ouact a flat salary law after all that was promised will help them to carry tho stato at tho next election. Mr. Chamberlain is not opposed to n special session but ho will bo nblo to make a great deal of political capital out of tho fact that falltiro to hold one nnd enact tho law promised. Tho Republican party is In powor nnd In control of tho legislature, and tho opposition will not put anything In tho way of passing a flat salary law. They will all vote for n reasonable salnry bllf. So that all the Republicans are not needed to imhb tho law. If anv Ho mo present enormous plundor systom tiublloaii can bo whlnuod Into break- that is rosponslblo for Oregon having ing his campaign pladges ho will havo tho highest stato tax of any stato In tho people to donl with. thn linlnn I ,..... . .. . .. . ,.. wuni nas any uopuuncun ki gam NOR I The People Haye Adopted Direct Legislation and Demand the Enactment of Flat Salaries-Take the Initiative for a Special Session.

It Is woll known that any action (alum by the legislature, In special or regular session, relative to salaries, may be declared unconstitutional by the su preme court. Those who call so loudly for n special session aro not sure that such a body can fix the mil nrles of stato ollloers alrenldy elected.

M. Crolsan, of Marion coun ty, promises to bo ono of tho solid business lenders of the sonate. Ho will stand for careful conservative business legislation and protection of tho Interests of tho state. The whole light on tho loglslntlvo ticket lu Marlon county was centered on Mr. Crolsan. It was mado rnthor bitter and unplcnsant nnd at tho cou elusion nt Salem he was subjected to a storm of wordy abuse. He mnde a winning light becnuso in renllty he had nothing to explain. He conducted the shore's olllco under tho tnxes up close and accounted for everything In detail. On a full showing of theso facts Mr. Crolsan was elected by about sovon hundred plurality, In sptto of the fact that ho was branded as a Simon mnn nnd was scratched by ono faction of tho Republican party. It was charged In tho campaign that Mr. Crolsan had mado all his money In tho sheriff's ofllco, when ho was worth about ten thousand dollars In proporty before ho went Into politics. Mr. Crolsan Is going In for a busl noss organization of tho sonato and wants no federal or other ofUco for his sorvloe to Morion county In Uio legis lature.
