FUU T.KA?Ki W1P.E TK'Jidl'AI'H KKI'OItT It 3eeni3 hardly possible, but the people live when the legis lature is adjourned for three day3. The publication of the delinquent tax lists would stop a few speculators at each county seat getting in and gobbling all the tax titles, making a clean rake-oif of fifteen per cent, and ten per cent interest. The postal card notice just suits the sharper, who keeps tab on the people he knows will never get the postal after it is mailed to them. This paper is 0cn for the presentation of both sides of every matter, and does not desire to do the thinking for the ordinary citizen. The editor has his own views and convictions, and makes no business of concealing the same. But he recognizes that every other human being has a right to an opinion, and to express it. The eight-hour bill to regulate employment at the Oregon City paper mills may be all right and have merit, and be aimed at an abuse. But is it not local legislation? Can one industry be picked out and made to suffer certain restrictions that do not apply to others. The Capital Journal has an eight-hour day, and likes it. We believe in the principle, and as fast as industries and economic conditions are ready for its application it should go into effect. The sooner the better. But legislation aimed at some local abuse can never stand. Make it general, or kill the bill. A pretty battle has been waged between a few farmers from Union county and the State Guoi Roads Association of Fortiand, and from present indications the grangers have won out, and nil the good roads bills are in periiof being defcato.'. The farmers nre better nolitkipns tlit'.n the cily chaps. AU tV good work of Judge Webster, who is ;-i a salary of $5000 a tnr, has gone up in smoke of kittle. Ths fanners are even sue rig enough d shut Judge Webster off the floor of the house. We don't know what the farmers are getting for their work, but they have the moral satisfaction of licking the city chaps out of their boots, and the Mariner bill will beat the State Highways Commission bill, unless new life is pumped into the latter out of the Port land oxygen tanks. , . ... THE SALARY BILLS WILL WIN. Indications are that the salary bills will all win out in the end. A legislature is not a business body, but is under the dicta tion of those who want salaries. The bill for the attorney-general's office has been trimmed of an additional deputy in the house. But who doubts that all that department calls for will be tacked on in the senate, and a place made for 'another benefi ciary? Who doubts that there will not be two new judgeships creat ed in the Portland district, and several new judicial districts created? The salaries of the district attorneys will be raised all around and new deputyships created, and the county attorney bill killed. Many boards and commissions are being created, and this leg islature will break all records in making places for the para Bites and satellites of society and politics. But that seems to be what the people like, and the only way to satiate them is to give them their bellyful, and let them pay the bills. The days of JefFersonian simplicity, when it was a matter of pride not to live off the state, belong to the age of the megatherium. OUR FIGHT HAS The Capital Journal fight to stop collecting a factory act in- spection fee from every little country printing office has borne fruit. A bill to amend labor commissioner's fees so that plants with two horse power or less shall pay no inspection, has passed the house. While the country newspapers do not appreciate the fight that has boon made in their behalf, it was a fight against unjust taxation. It was not the fault of the labor commissioner that it was in the law, but until it was pointed out and made obnoxious it could not be repealed. While The Capital Journal will still pay the tax. about two hundred country printing ofticeswill be relieved. The danger was that this factory inspection law would be ex tended to every windmill, gasoline engine and threshing ma chine outfit in the slate. Ijibor Commissioner lIclT is a reasonable man, and the people must not blame him if lie enforces the law ns lv finds it. ABOLISH THE TAX TITLU GRAFT. It is a well known fact that a regular system of wholesale grabbing of tax titles is being built up in Oregon. This legislature will go on record against the present gum shoe method of .wiping tax titles. The committee on judiciary stmt in a favorable report on the bill requiring publication of delinquent tax sales. It restores the old law that no property can be sold for unpaid taxes without four weeks' publication of a description of the property. H. M.

Vancouver, B. C. Feb. 3. The Japanese presss today teems with ed itorlal comment on the manifesto by Olshl, leader of the Kokumlnto, the popular party of Nippon, calling up on the government to arrange for further Increases of its navy to re gain command of the "Pacific now lost," according to advices Just re ceived. Olshl said that "unskillful diplo macy of the government has com pelled Japan to lose her command of the Pacific, even without fighting a certain country.' He furthermore declared that the safety of Japan is Jeopardized and that anti.Japanroe policy is spreading rapidly In the United States. The manifesto was of the alarmist type. After declaring for a policy of larger naval outlay, Olshi asserted that the United States would have a greater naval strength than J.ipan on the Pacific by 1917. According to his figures 27 battleships will then fly the Amnrlcan flag on the Pacific against 13 or 14 under the olors of Japan. o NEW ORLEANS LOSES LIKE A GENTLEMAN CITV IS "A DEAD GAME SPORT," AM) HAS LAI1 A SOLID KOUX DATIO.N IX THE WEST FOR ANYTHING SHE ASKS IX THE I'TTl'ltE. New Orleans, La, Feb. 3.

TO RE-ARRANGE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS SENATOR JOSETH MILL INTRO DUCE APPORTIONMENT BILL MARION WILL LOSE ONE REP. RESENTATIVE AND MULTNO MAH WILL GAIN. When the senate convenes again next week there will come up for consideration Senator Joseph's ap. proprlatloa bill ,and, should It pass, and become a law, It will mean that Marion county, now having the sec ond largest delegation In the legisla ture, will have one less representa tive In the house. Multnomah county, under the bill. Is allowed seven senators and 16 representatives, aijd Is also given a joint senator with Columbia and Clackamas counties. While, having practically a third of the population, and paying a third of the taxes, It only gets one-fourth of the senators, hut gets about one.thlrd of the rep resentatives. A fight no doubt will be made upon the bill by those counties losing representatives. Marlon has now five, but under the bill will have four. Linn and Washington also lose a representative, while Ba.ker is giv en an additional representative. The district which Senator C. A. Barrett represents, T'nlon, t'matllla and Morrow, Is abolished. An interest ing question has arisen, as to whethei the hill pass, It would also have tho effect of abolishing the office.
