THE EXPOSURE AT THE ASYLUM.
The attacks on the administration at the state insane asylum
are political in their nature.
But it is only by political attacks that the people get at the
truth of any public matter, and get reform.
On behalf of Superintendent Steiner it must be said hia honor
and integrity as a man or official has not been questioned.
Those who have interested themselves in the administration of
the asylum know he has been amodol official.
He has treated all the patients from the standpoint of the
liighest consideration of humanity.
From a medical .standpoint he has probably applied more ad
vanced medical science than any of his predecessors.
He has improved the sanitary conditions and the food and
care of the patients.
He has not been afraid to recommend neces.'firy sums for
needed improvements, and then has spent the money.
The exposure does not attack Dr. Steiner on any of these
lines and comes from equipment of cottages.
These cottages are the homes of the families of the superin
tendent and the first assistant physician.
The policy of fitting up what might be termed modern
residence homes for the head officials of the asylum is one main
reason for the attack.
Dr. Steiner has not pretended that the per capita expense for
keeping patients was being kept down by him.
ile'has believed in raising the standards of living, and the cost
of living; has gone up there as elsewhere!
The political system, under which all the state institutions are
managed, is wrong, in our opinion.
The demands for the expenditures is left too much to the offi
cials, and should come from thestale government.
The heads of the institutions, In the past, have been left to
aslc for what they wanted, and it has been given them!
The other line of reform should be a radical change in the
-commitment system.
Practically the state'is not represented' or protected against '
Improper commitments.
The state Insane asylum is practically a catch-all for people
of unsound mind and unfit to be at large, as the old statute has
It
This permits any county to unload oil the state all kinds of
troublesome persons, aged people and dope fiends.
A rigid examination would disclose that a large percentage of'
the people committed to the Oregon insane asylum are not,'
strictly' speaking, insane at all.
Insanity is a disease in various forma, more or less subject to
treatment and cure.
But victim of appetite, dypsomaniacs, patent medicine slaves
whiskey, tobacco, morphine, chloral, cranks and hypo victims
are not insane.
All these are unloaded on the state institution,' and the law'
governing commitment should be changed,' if the state is ever
to Ret out from under its load.
It ia discreditable to the state of Oregon to have so large a
showing of alleged insane for so small a population.
It ia preposterous to ask almost a "million dollars to carry on
one insane asylum, a quarter of a million for the feeble-minded
(?) and a half million for another asylum in Eastern Oregon.
o
THE LEGISLATURE SALARY GRAFT.
The people are not aware to what extent the official salarv
Sraft is being promoted.
Bills are being sneaked through this legislature to raise all sal
aries of circuit cudges to $1000 year and all district attorneys
to $3000 and $3600.
... Why should the state pay most of these officers twice as much
as they could make in open competition?
Officials prize the honor of holding the office, and so do their
families, but they should not he paid more than twice what thev
can mnli
The people cannot take the referendum on any act of the leg
iskture, but if their representatives do nothing but what the
-officeholders want, what can the people do but organize a Re
cau Party?
If party organizations are to stand for nothing but organize,!
Rraft, why should not such parties be abolished?
The "Oregon system" exist only in theory, and has not iv
rtrained organized graft one dollar.
The people have yet to invent a plan to get results from the
.power in their own hands.

BILL FOR ONE BOARD OF REGENTS.
liepresentative Libby has introduced a bill for one board of
regents for the state educational institutions.
; This would include the State University, the State Agricul
tural College and the State Normal School.
The board would consist of three members, not to reside in the
counties where the institutit -is are located.
The object of this bill is to remove these institutions from all
local control.

TO LEGALIZE THE LAW DEPARTMENT.
intQ
The office of assistant attorney-general has been taken
the courts, and the office declared unauthorized by law.
Mr. Van Winkle is a professor in the law school of Willam
ette University, and was a candidate for the office of circuit
judge at the last election.
But the lawsuit about the legality of his office is a serious
matter and of great public interest.
It seems there was no law for the employment of Mr. Van
Winkle, and he should not have leen paid, and what has been
paid 's illegal, and could be recovered.
A bill is to be introduced to legalize his employment and his
acts as assistant attorney-general of the state of Oreg-on, and
that is probably the only way out of the difficulty.

Kor Hrlik'P lit Biitteillle.
Huttevllle, Ore., Jan. 20.
Ktl. Journal Through your valua
ble paper I would like to explain to
the public in general and to the sen
ators and representatives of the Ore
gon state legislature, as near as I
can, the meaning of the bill presented
by Sepator Carson for the construc
tion of a bridge across the Willam
ette River at Duttevllle, Oregon, on
January the 19th, In the state sen
ate. We do not wish the Oregon state
legislature, or the general public to
confuse this project with another
bridge project. The Trl-County Push
Club was organized over a year ago
for the express purpose of advocat
ing this bridge and never have we
let up on this project during all these
days, for we were certain that a
bridge could be constructed for less
money here than any other place
along the river, nearly, for there are
suitable banks to construct the bridge
without the use of draws: conse
quently there would be no expense In
maintaining the . bridge after once
built. Then too, the expense of con
structing the bridge would be borne
by the three counties Yamhill, Mar
lon and Clackamas, which are equally
benefitted. The West end of the
bridge would rest in Clackamas and
Yamhill countteB, while the East end
of the bridge would rest In Marlon
county. Now the cost of this bridge
to these three counties would be so
light that no one would feel the bur
den, as the assessed valuation of the
three counties Is $84,000,000 and the
estimated cost of the bridge Ih $90,-
0O0, or In other words abous a one-
mill tax on the assessable property of
the three counties one-half mill to
be paid In 1912 and the other half In
the year 1913. Now, as to the other
project, will state that there Is a law
on the statute book where two coun
ties can unite , In building a bridge,
but there Is no law where three coun
ties can Join together In the construc
tion of a bridge, therefore, we con
tend that we are the only bridge pro-
'Ject before the legislature at this
time. While we are not opposing con
struction of a bridge at any other
' point along the river at this time, we
are working; for the passage of this
bill that we have Introduced through
Senator Carson for a bridge at Butto
vllle, and we feel at this time that
in the event our efforts fall through

It will require Seren Large Build
ugn to supply our needs. We have"
let the contracts for all of them. Two
are now under way of construction,
and all seven will be rushed to com
pletion as fast as money and labor
can build them. We shall start our
factory running April 1st, with a
force of 60 men and the force will be
Increased to 150 within a year.
We did not peddle any hot-air as to
what we were going to do. We sim
ply kept quiet until we acquired our
large factory site, (to which we
added, by purchase on the 24th of last
month, an additional plot of ground
100x150 feet) and began the construc
tion of the largest and one of the moxt
MulmtiiDtlnl factory building In the
City of Salem. In fact there are very
few people In the city who even know
that the Perfection Sewing Cabinet
Company Is In exlstance. and as above
stated, we did not Intend that they
should know It until we began actual
construction of our factory. But now
that we actually have underway of
vonstructlon one of the most sub
stantial and larffst Factory Band
ings In the City. We desire that all
Salem and Marlon county shajl knqw
Just what we are doing, and what we
shall do lo the future, That Is the
reason we are advertising our busi
ness from day to day, for we expect
to sell every share of the limited
amount of stock for sale, right In and
around Salem, for theRe people can
come to our 'office and Investigate our
proposition and find out Just what we
have and once they Investigate us to
that extent we know they will buy our
stock for all well Informed people
know that more money can be made
from the manufacture of good patented
household necessities, and first-class
furniture than almost anything else
thnt one can Invest In.
There are thousands of patents be
ing manufactured by different com
panies throughout the Vnlted Statos
today that are paying the stockhold
ers millions of dollars every year.
Still, when each of these Inventions
were first exploited, you could have
bought stock In them at a very low
figure. See what the stock is worth
today, if you had bought stock when
any of these companies were forming,
you would have received your money
back many times over in dividends
besides the stock itself would be
worth many times what you paid
for it.
We all know that a dollar in the
hands of a money king Is of no more
value than a dollar In the hands of a
small investor. The difference in
power conies In the opportunity to
use that dollar. But remember this:
that jjery money king, every one of
the big feluowg of Wall Street, were
small Investors at one time. They
had to Btart somewhere, sometfme,
and when you dig Into their lives a
little you find that they started by
making a small investment In some
growing, promising enterprise. . Look-,,
Ing- at It Ia that way, we might be led ,
to believe that so far. as the. start Is,
concerned all workers and savers are ,
la the same position as were th.e Big 1
Money Kings when they began.. And
we want to say right here that you
will never have a better opportunity,
offered you for a good Investment
than is presented by the PERFECTIOX
SEvmfl CAMSKT COMPANY, When
Rockefeller, Carnegie; Morgan and the,
rest of the great men of wealth began
their careers there were no mighty
kings of finance- who controlled the
big financial opportunities of this
country. Rockefeller had a chance to
put his first 100 where It would grow
and increase and where he got the big
profits he did not put It In a bank
at 5 or 6 per cent Interest. Carnegie
invested his first few hundred In the
same way and in 1S73 It had grown to
1300.000 and then he Invested It all
a sain where It Increased more than
800 times the original amount in 28
years, which equalled about 100 per
rent every 13 days.
Schwab worked for a dollar a day
when a young man, but carefully and
wisely Invested his savings and at
(he age of 39 was a multimillionaire.
He did not put any money on deposit
at 5 or 6 per cent. He put it where
it worked day and night for him.
Marshall Field clerked In a country
store, saved his money, invested it
where It would work for him and
where he would get every penny of
profit that it earned and during his
splendid career piled up a fortune of
one hundred and eighteen millions
$118,000,000.
And So the Record Run.
They all followed the same trail.
They invested instead of depositing
their money. They knew that money
must be Invested In order to have the
greatest earning possibilities. They
knew that if they deposited their
money and got only 4 or 5 per cent,
that the bank would have to Invest ft
and then the bank would get the big
profits. And so, in each and every
instance, these fellows of fortune In
vested their own money In new, grow
ing enterprises,
Th, Perfection Sewing; Cabinet rem.
Pny, is a ".New and Growing Erter-
Prise." Every Dollar Invested ia ft I
Absolutely Secured, and the young
working men of Salem are not slow
in seeing the extraordinary oppor
tunity offered them by this company
to make a Gllt-Edged investment, and
they are taking advantage of this
rare opportunity just the same as did
Rockefeller, Carnegie. Morgan and
the rest of the great money kings did
when they first began to Invest their
savings, and Salem"s young men are
not accepting the counsel of the
"Free Advice Long Eared Knockers"
any more than did these great money
klns when they made their first In
vestments, for they know that good

common sense is the best basis for
any opinion or judgment- And that
therefore their own judgment is much
better than that of the "Free Advice
Peddlers" who never made a success
of anything in their lives, and right
here let us say to other people of
Salem who have $100 or more to In

Court of Reason, and that Your own

Your Own Common Sense will always

Investments are at the bottom of every
great fortune. You know that when
a new promising enterprise like the
Perfection Sewing Cabinet Company's
was started that these big fellows al
ways used their own judgment and
invested in it. You know we are
speaking the plain facts here. - You:
realize the condition of affairs as well
