And hoforo each damo and maid hecamo

Thoy could bako and brow, and had tough school, too,
And thoy mado such llkoly courtln't ,
Thoro nro no boys llko tho good old boys
Whon wo woro boys togotlicrl .
Whon tho grass was sweot to tho brown baro feet
That dimpled tho laughing heather;
Whon tho lark sang to tho summer dawn
Of tho beo In tho billowy clover,
Or down by tho mill tho whlp-o'-wlll.

Tho greatest political lusuo In wostorn Orogon today, from tho stand
point of the shlppors and producors, Is freo locks nnd canal nt Orogon
City.
Thoro Imvo boon throo conventions held In wostorn Orogon tho past
year whero tho iluiitnm! has boon unanimous THAT THU TOLLS I IK

This Imiio was mado very plain In tho'oloctlon df u congressman and
In tho last Juno election, nnd Is tho ono thin Congressman Hawloy
nnd Senator Fulton nre plodgod to bring nbout.
This lue will grow with ouch campaign until It Is brought nbout,
nnd U Is ilia duty of this Uglslnturs to pass th Jons bill TO HRLP
1IUINO CONORRSHIO.VAL ACTION TO A FOCUS.
Tho whole state of Oregon Is mors Interested In Improvement of Its
wntorways than In any other Issue before tho people.
Look nt what the state has appropriated lu tho last ten years to Im
prove transportation fnrllltlwi for Portland nnd eastern Oregen:
For tho Cascade Portago Tlallwny CG.000.
For the Colllo Portago Hallway 1GG.O00.
For malnUnnuco of both tho above 21,000
For right of way of Canal nt Tho Ballon 100,000

Tho bill has already passed tho sonnte to glvo eastern Oregon $00,000
more to complclo tho portage rond from Tho Dallos to tho Dig Eddy,
nnd Oregon. Washington und Idnho nro to be asked to glvo 9100,000
KACH FOR THK JOINT IMPROVEMENT OF THK UPPER COLUMBIA.
Does It not look as tbuugh western Oregon had u right to ask some
help In return for opening tho grout Willamette valley waterway that
affects every ton of freight produced lu this part ot, Orogon
Whenever Portland has askod for numoy for tho Lewis and CJnrk fair,
nnd whenever Portland has asked for monoy to open the Columbia,
THIS PAUT OF Till HTATK HAS CHEERFULLY ASS1STF.U.
With what thoy uro usklug for at this sojmIou, 160,000 for extoudlng
Ujo portage, and tho flOO.OOO thoy will probably ask for beforo tho
loglMaturo adjourns, tho stato will havo voted over a million to help Port
laud nud eastern Oregon Interest.
There should not bo a dUteutliig vote In tho sonalo ugalnst tho Jonos'
free look bill that hs passed tho houso.
THK JONES' HILL IS NOT X DIRECT APPROPRIATION, but Is mado
contingent on congrvn lakluir action, just as tho appropriations for tho
locks mil canal on tho Columbia were.
8onntor Fulton and Congressman Hawloy, and tho rot of the Oroftbn

ThO Imuo of fro clocks and canal nt Oregon City is otto that entors Into

The bill that passed makes It a life term ON THK FOUIITII CONVIC

That Is Just about as good as nothing. Tho death penalty bill for hold

A VICTORY FOR HKFOR.M.
No ono need try to dodgo tho Issue land monopolies nro doomed In
this country.
Tho presont processes enacted Into law, by which tho public lands nre
systematically mnsscd Into tho hands of largo syndicates ARK THK
CHIMB OF TUB CBNTUHY.
Tho holdings of hundreds of thousands nnd millions of acres In tho
hands of slnglo Individuals, firms and corporations will hnvo to bo un
done with revolution nnd possible bloodshed.
Congress Is slowly awnkonlng to this situation, and TUB PROSKCU
TION OF TIIBSB GIGANTIC LAND FRAUDS HAS ONLY HIM UN.
Tho houso commlttoo on public lands has capitulated to tho Presi
dent nnd agreed to nn nmondmont to the public land law providing for
leasing Instcnd of salo of government coal lands.
This Is a groat victory for tho principle that tho peoplo should not
part with tho title to tho soil, mineral or tlmbor.
Lot thoso who take off tho tlmbor, or tako out tho coal or minerals pay
a roynlty for doing so, AND SUSTAIN TUB GOVKRNMKNT HKVKNUBS.
Tho ImmenBo holdings will finally havo to bo thrown open to sottle
mont, and tho barbaric titles now In oxlstence cnncollcd nnd destroyed.
Any stop In this direction should be balled as a Htop In tho direction
of fundamental reform, nnd TUB RBTURN OF TUB LANDS TO TUB
PBOPLK.
Whon tho corporations own tho mines, tho wntor, tho land tho forests
and tho rnllroads nnd waterways; what Is thoro loft for tho peoplo?
Notjilng but slnvory. Tho taskmasters of Bgypt woro not n clrcum
stnnco to the lund barons of today.

TUB SHORT 'WRIGHT GOODS HILL.
If thoro bvor wns a bill framed upon principles of common Justlco nnd
elomontnry honesty, It Is tho bill hoforo this legislature requiring that
n pound packngo or can of anything SHALL CONTAIN A POUND OF
HIXTBBN OUNCBS.
Yot thnt bill to kcop tho manufacturers and wholesalers from plain
direct robbery uf tho consumor Is throatenod with dofent In this legisla
ture. '
Tho grocer who sells sugar or prunos must give full weight. Tho
dnlrymnn who put up buttor must dollvtr full wolght OR MB Sl'IUBCT
TO TUB PRXALTIKS OF TUB LAW.
Hut tho cracker trust, tho meat trust, the cannery trust, can put up
twelvo-ounco puckagos for u pound right nlong, nnd the retailer must sell
It or be undersold by his lets conscienceless competitor.
Thu plain truth Is. this cIush of frauds has procwdod so fur that the
consumer generally IS ROIIIIBD AIIOUT FIFTY PUR CBNT ON ALL UK
IIUVS, that Is susceptible or this robbery.
Shall It bo sulil that there was not onough character In this body of
lawmakers to doclare that n pound Bhnll be sold for a pound.
TUB SHORT WRIGHT GOODS HILL SHOULD PASS WITHOUT A
DISSBNTINO VOTB, or let It be understood tho short weight vote Is short
of common honesty.
Let this legalised plundering of tho mnssos through tho helpless re
tail trade bo forover stoppod by this legislature.
o
TUB UN1VRRSALRAISB OF SALAHIKS.
It Is stated that throe-fourths of tho bills In this Ieglslaturo nro to
raUo salaries and IncrenBo tho compensation of officials.
Most of tho bills ralso tho salaries of county offlolals, and LNY
GRANT NF.W IHCPUTIKS AND FBBS NOT FORMRHLY ALLOWKR.
It Is understood that In tho senato tho bill to Increaso tho salary of
tho county clerk of Marlon county Is mado to go Into effect at tho be
ginning of tho noxt term.
That Is sound In prlclple becauso thoro Is a phraso In the constitution
saying nn otnclal's salary SHALL NOT IIB INCIUIASKD NOR 1)IMI
ISIIRI) DURING HIS TKRM OF OFFICK.
That Is tho true principle Tho salary of the office which tho candl
dato soeks and accopts the nomination and election for should prevail.
Tho governor might do well to establish this prlnolplo and veto all bills
In violation of this principle.
Thoro Is no Justification for tbo universal raise of salaries. In a few
years all tho peoplo may bo less prosperous, and only offlolallsm will bo
living on the topmost wave of prosperity.
