HAT" tlio opening of the Panama I canal la to have a far more tre mendous effect on the coast and especially Oregon than any of uh have evor dreamed of Is a certainty. Its first and greatest effect will be the placing of Oregon's uncqualed timber In the markets of the world. Tills state has practically one-fifth of all tho timber In the United States, und the roason It has not heretofore been exploited Is Its remoteness from mar ket and the prohibitive cost of trans portation. For this reason, the east liaa perforce sought Its lumber supply from more available sources. Aa a result Louisiana leaped Into first place aa a timber producer, but her supply and tho more available part of Tex as la rapidly disappearing and In a few years will be gone. Michigan once the loader In the lumber Industry has been largely cut ovor, and the eyes of the lumber buyers are turned to this const whore practically one-half of the total supply left In the United States is standing, Tho cheap transportation provided by the Panama canal will galvanize the lumber Industry Into new life, nnd It will spring Into exist ence like Minerva, full armed and ready for tho fray. Heretofore our lumber shipments have been largely cotiHtwIse, with some Chinese trade, and this with our local market was the extent to which It could go. With the opening of the great markets of the oast to us, tho cut In a year of two will bo doubled. Ten years from now we will be shipping ten times the lumber we do now, or perhaps even double that. The world needs It, and wo have the only available supply, and until the vast mountain range, th.i Cascades and that most magnificent body of timber In tho world lying along the Oregon const, Is cut over and denuded, tho lumber Industry of Onvgon bids fair to overshadow all othero, and perhaps nearly equal all ordiers combined, In the value of tho product This of course means many mills', the employment of thousands of men directly nnd of other thousands indirectly. It Is for this reason that the opening of tho P, 10. & K. branch road Into the big body of timber lying from Kails Oily on to tho coast and the making of Snlein, as It were, tho main business city on that road, moans so much to Saloiii. It brings us in clone touch with tho v-!ry heart of this great in dustry, and tho coining of the Kalis City road Into Salem for this reason, Is the moHt Imimrtant event In Sulcm's history, not even excepting the com pletion of tlit Oregon & California lino now tho 9. P. Next Saturday wo nro to celebrate thin event. In connection with our neighboring towns and that celebra tion. If nuniui'tisimito with the lniHr tanoo of the event, will overshadow nnytblng of the kind ever hold hero. It should be a day of rejoicing for nil and every ona In the city, IiIk and lit tle, old and young, hIioiiIiI Join in mak ing It one we shall nil remember with plo.muro, THE I'lHNCH'lE OK IT. TI1KRI0 nio occasions where It Is proper to raise the salary of a publlo officer during his Incum bency of the office, but they are rare. Tor Instance, tho law taking the duty of tho collection if taxes from the sheriff and placing II. upon tho county treasurers would justify uticb a raise, brnuiHO It, would mean tho adding of nn iinnieiiHo amount of work to the offico that did not belong to it at the time tho officer wag elected, and work not arising from nntural causes which steadily Increase the work In nearly all offices yearly. Outside of these cases, It is wrong In principle to in crease the pay of an officer during his Incumbency of whatever office he may hold. More than that, coming right down to brass tacks, it is mor ally wrong for the officer to accept such Increased pay, for the simple reason ho has entered Into an Implied contract with the people to perform the duties of the offico to which he Is olected, for the full term thereof, at the salary tho offico paid at tho time he went Into It. Ho is as much bound by this contract as aro the people who promise to pay that amount to him. If tho officer has a right to Ignore the contract and demand big ger pay, would not the people acting through the county treasurer, for in stance, have a right to say, Your sal ary Is too high; tho work In your of fice has decreased we will pay you .'10 per cent or 50 per cent less than wo ngreed to pay you? Would this not be Just as fair and Just as proper as for the officer to demand, or even to accept, more money than the sum for which he agreed to do the work? The legislature saw fit to raise the salaries of man1 county officers throughout tho state. These officers, In most cases at least, made a hard fight to got the office, had their friends out working for them, and were exceedingly pleased when the votes were counted and thoy wero de clared elected. Most of them sought tho office because tho salory was larger than they couldl earn otherwise, and most of them would hang on to their offices even though the salaries were not raised, for tho simple reason thnt tho salaries were larger than they could get elsewhere. Why should salaries be Increased by legislators, by cotincllmen, for publlo employes, above what thoso services uro reasonably worth? Why should salaries which public servants hnvo agreed to accept bo raised by thoso same people? Tho answer Is found in tho fact that they do not pay the bills. Tho legislature and coun cllmen In their private business would kick like Joshuron against raising Bulurlos of their own employees, under contract to work a given time at a stated prlco, and they would not stop at kicking either, for they would hold the employee to his contract. Why Isn't the same business principle ap plicable to tho public employee tho same as to the private employee. If snlarles must bo raised, If tho work of an office Increases to Justify It, then let them bo raised to tako effect at the beginning of the next term of office. This Is Just nnd fair to of ficer and public alike, and any other courso is not. Many Good People This Spring "Cannot afford to be sick." Their earnings are so small they must bo careful to keep their ex penses down. They know by experience the great usefulness of Hood's Sarsaparilla in presenting disease by building up the system, and they show "common sense" in taking this great proprietary medicine for their run-down condition at this time. Thousands find Hood's Sarsaparilla perfectly satisfactory in the treatment of impure blood, lack of strength, that tired feeling, loss of appetite, scrofula, eczema, rheumatism and catarrh. Take Hood's Sarsaparilla this spring. "My daughter was confined to her bed for seven or eight weeks with fever, and after the fever left her she was troubled with sores In her mouth and stomach, and a painful swelling on one of her limbs. She was also very weak. I concluded to give her Hood's Sarsaparilla, as I had done once before. She soon be gan to Improve. The severe soreness and cramps in the stomach left her. I cheerfully recommend Hood's to build up the system." D. W. Seny, It. P. D. No, 6, Lebanon, Tenn. "I had a severe attack of the grip which settled In my back. I soon became so weak I could hardly walk across the room. I began taking Hood's Sarsapa rilla, and after the use of a few bottles I began to get better, and am glad to say that In due time I was well as ever. More recently after my baby was born, I was again troubled with weakness, and my husband got me another bottle of Hood's. After taking It I was In good health again." Mrs. Oertrude Johnson, Box 36, Cul verton, On. flASS CONGRATULATES DEAN CHARLES M'NAHY Dean Charles L. McNnry, of the Wil lamette Law College, who has been ap pointed to a position on the Oregon supreme bench by Governor West yes torday received a letter of congratu lation from the senior cIusb of the college. The letter follows: "Dear Sir. The members of the senior class of Wlllnmetto university law school deslro to extend their congratulation upon your elevation to the supremo bench of this Btate. "No better appointment could hnve been made, nnd we know that you will so fill tho position as to reflect credit upon your profession as well as upon yourself and thnt the state will be well Berved. "By order of the Benlor class, mode at a meeting held March 6, 1913. "O. O. I1ROWN, Pres. "MABEL A. WELHORNE, Sec." A similar letter was Bent by the clnss to Judge William M, Ramsey, of Mc Mlnnvilie, who was also appointed to the supremo bench. Judge Ramsey has no connection with the law col lege, but Is one of the best known members of tho bar In the state, nnd the letter was sent him by the class as a courtesy, nnd ns a token of respect. PETITION THE GOVERNOR IN ItEIIALF OF Hl'.IIPHREYS Tho nntl-capltal punishment people of lVutland and the Willamette valley have their energies trained upon Gov- eornor West, nnd showering him with petitions to have the Humphrey broth ers from the hempen nooso on March "1, when thoy nro sentenced to die on the gallows nt the state penitentiary. In spite of tho strong evidence against tho fienton county convicts and the verdict of the jury, there Is n strong belief that tho men are Inno cent of the crime for which they were convicted. This Is based largely on tho testimony of neighbors of the Humphreys, who do not. believe them capable of tho crime charged ogalnst them. Governor West Is yet silent re garding what action he will take. C.U.IKOIINIAN I.IKES THE CAPITAL JOIRNAL Parudlso. Cal.. March 2, 13.
