COMING TO OREGON.
(Tho following wrltton by J. E. JOHNSON, of Oakcs, North Dakota,
lias been grafted from tho Coos Bay Harbor, and mado o fit all Oregon.
It la remarkably goor.)
Wo aro going to Oregon, pretty soon.
Wo aro going to stay If thoro's room. ' '
Wo aro tired of tho plains
With thofV snow blockaded trains
So wo'ro going where It rains, protty soon. ,
North Dakota was a-boomlng last year,
When tho fields of flax wore blooming fa rand near
But tho grain unthrcshed lies low
'Neath a dozen feet of snow
Whllo tho howling blizzards blow o'er It here.
Here Is a list of "things" picked up on .tho B'treot, which some over-taxed,
weary business man Was ordered to get "down town:"
Ono bunch bluo braid; 2 yards black braid; 2 yards rubber, black; 1
paper of pins; 1 paper needles; 1 bunch hooks and eyes, black.
Think of a man trying to succeed In tho cruel crush of modern com
petitive conditions, carrying such at burden on his mind as that!
o
THE NORMAL SCHOOL PROBLEM.
In Oregon tho flowers aro blooming now I know,
And tho ploasuro boats aro sailing to and fro,
Whllo horo tho rabbits browso , ,
On tho trco tops with tho crouso
And play tag above our houso on tho snow.
Shall wo over see tho coming of the spring?
Shall wo ovor llvo to hoar .tho robins sing
With our fences, grain and barn
All burnod up to keep us warm,
Wo don't think tho pralrlo farm Is JubI tho thing.
Now It Isn't such a pleasant placo to stay
Whoro It's wlntor from October until May,
Whoro tho winds uncoaslng blow
Whoro tho air Is filled with snow
And It's thlrty-flvo bolow ovory day.
o
THE CONTEST OVER THE REFERENDUM.
It is a question whether thero Is any solution of tho problem of
four Normal schools In tho plan of Initiating a bill for an appropria
tion for each of the four schools.
If four such bills aro lnltlaUd It Is moro than likely that ALL FOUR
WOULD RE ENACTED INTO LAW HI POPULAR VOTE.
It would work llko this: (
Local prldo of each school and all Its friends and graduates would
unlto .tho votes of tho four sections for all four schools AND ALL FOUR
WOULD CARRY. J
It would bo llko tho referendum of tho genoral appropriation bill of
two years ago.
Tho combined interests carried in tho bill would enact It into law.
NEWSPAPER
VIEWS OF
STANDARD OIL
Tho hearing of 'tho mnndamus procoodlngs for tho Referendum peti
tion of tho peoplo ngnlnnt tho SUito University will bo had boforo Judge
Gnlloway In this city next Monday.
Juno 24th hns boon sot for argument whothor tho petition of nearly
Bovon thousand voters SHALL RE SET ASIDE ON A MRRI3 TECHNI
CALITY. '
Tho pernors that bo tho prodatory, organlzod, ofllco-holdlng frater
nity, that ought to know bettor, but doos not bocatuo It lives on Its
mipotitos, and Its nppotltos grow by whnt thoy food upon thoso pow
ers aro all oonvlncod that THE IIEFKUI3NDVAI IS A DEADLY BLOW AT
THEIR VESTED RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGa
To h 11 with tho Roforondum.
Knock It out on any protoxt
That Is tho cry of tho tcchnlcnllsts who llvo by oncroachments on tho
public strawstack and no barbed wlro shall koop us from our fodder,
Bny thoy.
Wo can Imagine what short work a man llko Judgo Dolso would
hnvo niiulo of tliolr hair-splitting, as agnlnst tho broad right of tho peo
plo to lllo a petition for a voto agnlnst any graft.
This mandamus Is not ovor tho moro monoy that is sought to bo hold
up and tho now tax which tho peoplo say SHALL NOT UK IMPOSED
"WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.
It Is a tout of tho question whothor tho citizen's primnry political
rights shall he overthrown on a moro technicality
With tho now and complicated law that has boon enacted to rcgulato
tho Initiative and Roforondum, It Is not probnblo that any group of
cltlzonrt WOULD BE ABLE TO AVOID MAKING TECHNICAL ERRORS.
Thoro uro probably few ballots cnBt at a gonoral election whoro tho
votOM luivo not committed somo technical violation of tho loiter of tho
law.
If tho right to petition can bo dofoatod on a merely technical cons
truction of tho laws thou all political rights of tho oltlzonu CAN BE DE
FEATED IN TRIO SAME MANNER.
The courts have nlwuyH duolnrod that laws rogulatlng tho political
rlghtu and prlvllogoa of the citizen hIiiiII bo liberally construed.
Tho contest next Monday ovor llvo Roforondum potltlons in this city
Involves that principle, and tho citizens back of tho light should carry
It o tho hlghost courts IF NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH THEIR
RIGHTS.
The InlllaUvo and Roforondum Is a political right guarnntcod In .tho
constitution, and It cannot bo dofoatod by resorting to technical objec
tions to tho sutlloiunoy and Intont of tho potltlonora.
o
CORPORATION TAX COLLECTORS.
Whon tho announcement was
mado that a Texas Jury had imposed
an enormous One on tho Wators
Plorco Oil company, and had ordered
It to cease doing business in tho
state, somo pooplo thought that
Standard oil had received a blow
which would bo folt, says Literary
Digest.
Tho press, vory soon, howovor,
furnished Information of somo facts
which caused a revision of this opin
ion. It Is agreed, to bo sure, that If
tho flno o f$l,623,900 nn bo collect
ed, and If tho Watora-Plorco tontaclo
of tho Standard Oil octopus can
really bo oxpiollod from Toxnd, tho
victory of tho statu will bo a momor-
ablo ono. But tho skeptical press
point out that an appeal will doubt
less Wo takon to a higher court, that
ovon If tho oustor Is thoro sustained
a now company will probably bo or
nKnlzed to succoed tho Wators-
Plorco in its relations to Standard
Oil, and that If tho flno Is allowed to
stand It will novortholess bo of llttlo
practical effect, bocauso tho company
has, according to tho Now York
World's report, only nbout $100
worth of tanglblo property In tho on
tlro state
And further, as this paper records,
"thoro aro no Intangible assets avail
able, Biich as collectible accounts, as
tho managomont of tho company In
Toxns has boon shrewd enough4 to
conduct tho business In tho stato on
n cash basis for tho last several
months." Viewing thoso facts, thoro
foro, It is with considerable hesitan
cy Hint tno pnpors auvanco any
nronhoclos rognrding tho effect of
tho Judgment upon Standard
pecket:
lines that always, In tho end, tho peo
plo must pay?"
Tho futility of fines is acknowl
edged by many othor papers, And
tho necessity for "Jail sentences" Is
urged. Tho Texas Jury has Imposed
a flno memorablo for its size, but ad
mits tho N'ew York Evening Post,
" but tho Jury really to bo roraem
bored is the ono that will somo day
sond to prison somo of tho men be
hind tho lawless corporation."
Tho usolessness of a flno to pun
ish such offenders is thus brought
out by tho Detroit News: "As well
might tho stato hope to dotor yegg
men by imposing a flno of 87 cents
for blowing opon a safo and gotlng
away wth $20,000."
