DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL
BY HOFER BROS.
ready olcctod,) MUST ENACT THE
FLAT SALARY LAW, reduce stato
taxes, and extend indirect taxation to
corporations not already taxed.
Let those who will sneer at this
proposition as a mere newspaper pro
gram If they will. BUT TAXES ARE
TOO HIGH.
Hut remomber, small as this news
paper Is, It IIvos by the support of the
people, not oft "pap," (published not
THE NEW8PAPER AND A PRO
GRAM FOR THE PEOPLE.
Many have wondered how a small at a metropolis, but at a prosperous
oewspapor with a limited circulation
caunfd flourish and even make money
in a town like Salem.
That Is what The Journal has ac
complished for fifteen years, and with
oul special government aU, or the pat
Mnago of any party, or the backing
. any capitalist or corporation or
syndicate,
Tbo Journal has prospered In spite
ef changes Iti political affllllatlon, and
in the face of opposition from strong
and able politicians and in the face
of local and nearby competition that
Jaas always been fierce, BECAUSE IT
(HAS KEPT FAITH WITH THE PEO-
iPLE.
The tlmo has nrrlved to lay bare
ttnls secret of Its success. It has had
a projjram and that program IS, WA8
AND WILL BE GOOD GOVERN
MENT. "What has boon The Journal's pro
gram? Simply, the application of
GOOD BUSINESS PRINCIPLES IN
anJBLIC ADMINISTRATION THAT
WAE DEMANDED BY THE PEO
3PLE. "The Journal has always demanded
a bright, clean, progressive buslneso-
like city government.
If It could not got It out of one party
3t would seek to get It out of somo
othor party or combination of parties
or voters.
Kor five successive elections It holp
ed put a citizen's non-partisan bust
ja&av administration in power in the
Sslom city government.
When that had served Its purtrase
and ceased to meet the domands of
tprogross with a big "IV THE JOUR.
1NAL HELPED PUT IT OUT OF
3POWER AND PUT THE OPPOSI
TION IN POWER IN PLACE OF IT
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE DEMAND
D A CHANGE.
The Journal has fought, as part of
of Its program for better public
schools, for higher grades, and In
splto of opposition In high quarters
.of both parlluj, has won the day.
tSaloro will have a high school. It
-will bo accomplished without going
Into debt, and without Increasing tax-

SIVE GOVERNMENT 18 FOR THE
POLITICIAN, THE FINANCIER AND
THE BOODLER. ,
Tho Journal fought for years for
Vat salary reform uud tho abolition
of tho foo syitoni and succeeded In
tho county government.
Marlon county Ih out of dobt and
hoe low taxB largely because each
officer collects fees and puts them In
the treasury. IN THE AGGREGATE
WORE THAN THE COUNTY OF
FICER8 DRAW SALARIES.
Tho Journal lirtu sought to extend
hayseed capltp.l In one of the cow
counties,) this demand Is backed by
tho peoplo regardless of party.
They understand It to mean that
$200,000 less taxes will be required
each quadriennlal term under a Fait
Salary law than Is now required.
$200,000 WILL REMAIN IN THE
POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE THAT
NOW GO INTO THE POCKETS OF
OFFICIALS. The facta to provo this
have been many times published,
have not been refuted and will bo
published again anJ again.
The tlmo has come for an honest
responsibility In this matter.
If a Business Program' Is a good
thing In city, school district and coun
ty nffalrE, It la Just as good and bet
ter In stato affairs.
IF THI8 FLAT SALARY LAW
HAD BEEN ADOPTED TWO YEARS
AGO WE WOULD NOT HAVE AN
EIGHT MILL STATE TAX TO PAY
THIS YEAR.
A Hat salary bill that gives a gov
ernor $5000 a year; a secretary and
treasurer and Judges of tho supreme
court $1000 a year each; an attornoy
goneral, superintendent of schools
and printing superintendent $3600 a
year each, will provldo Oregon with
competent officials. Such a bill, that
puts all fees, perquisites and omolu
monts back In to the treasury, will
savo tho state $30,000 a year.
These salaries and even amaller
salaries give other states good service.
And thoy will oisuro Oregon good of
ficials and remove them from their
present equivocal positions of receiv
ing compensation la direct violation
of tho constitution.
THERE IS NO MYSTERY OR
GENIU8 ABOVE THE ABILITY OF
A GOOD BUSINESS MAN REQUIR
ED IN FILLING ANY OF THESE
OFFICES.
Most stato officials have been pro
moted from county officials, WHERE
THEY SERVED THE PEOPLE FOR
MUCH LE88 THAN THEY GET
FROM THE STATE. THERE IS
NOT A STATE OFFICE THAT
CANNOT BE FILLED BY ANY MAN
WHO HAS SERVED IN THE COUN
TY GOVERNMENTS OR JUDICIAL
DISTRICT8. NO ONE CAN DENY
THIS.
THEN WHY THIS TIMIDITY AND
TEMERITY ABOUT PUTTING THEM
UPON A FAIR 8ALARY? ARE THE
SERVANTS GREATER THAN THE
MASTERS?
Tho Journal could toll the reason
why, but It Ib not necossnry now ami
would add nothing to tho argument,
WHICH IS ALREADY UNANSWER
ABLE. l-ot there bo no moro dodging this
issue, ine people have refused to
they left little behind. In other words
thoy had nothing, and If alive today
and among us with their Indisposi

The men who come from European

the west, arc daring much.
To them in their Ignorance and in
nocence, America 1st a far distant
land. They know nothing of laws, our
language, our customs, our civiliza

their friends, their home, bidding
farewell to the associations that have
touched them since childhood.
They have but one thought, one

thoy may better their lot.
