Years ngo wheii there xyw no exemption, or a very small onein -several of the old states, the merchants bitterly opposed the prop osition io grant large exemptions. But It was found that some even kept just within the law, and If it allowed only iv hundred dollars' worth they lived in abject poverty of the ruoet helpless, hopeless kind. Now tho same class of men own small farms, well stocked, and thero are a hundred chances lor a creditor to catch them to ono chance under the very limited law. For the more u man lias the more he is likely to get, and better circumstances tend to make liLni feel abovo shirking every little claim. It is for the in terest of the wtate, too, to have more citizens in circumstances that will enable them to produce as independ ent workers. Wo are therefore as tonished When Informed that Oregon has no homestead exemption. Is it possible:? Ifna. wenre not surprised at its small population. We can as sure our legislature that if tho iim-jority-nf tho immigrants now look ing toward this state knew this fact they would not conio here. We know whereof we speak. Hundreds of thousands of industrious farmers of the cast have been rendered in solvent by misfortunes for which they uro in no way to blame. If debts are to follow them here and wrest from them every acre of their humblo homes as hikui aa acquired their ciwe will bo helpless. We there fore hi;g thl legislature to change this eroJt ndjuuniB. SuiU'ORii.you have no newspaper in your towu? Is there a man of juiy Hunee but admits that no ono thing does mows towardsiidvertlslng, enlivening iuid stirring up a town than two or Uueo well conducted papcra ? Everybody would com plain if Salem had no newspaper, niul yet tho very men wlio really throw away twentyilvo cents per day on tobacco shirk, shrink and alpiost collapse at Alio idea ctf paying THKKi: N1CKLKS l'Klt whiik for this paper. And those who should send half a (Uiaui weeklie to tholr (friends abroad, think theyuo doing great things if they subscribe for one, at the enormous oxpeute of two whole 43Uts ier week. Tens of thousands tf farmer are about leaving Kiiumis, Nebraska Iowa, MiniU'.Hota, Dakota, and eWv wheru to noek homes ou .this .count. Their farms have been wild out un der mortgages and UietitU.cs have left their notes still uiiKatUfled. Are they to como hero and have their humble homes swept from them to satisfy ierhaps tho exhorbituut in terest still remaining unpaid on their old dehts? Forbid It Ifcnven and tho lcglHluturo of Oregon. -Give ut) tv homestead law, or else tell Im migrants "enter uot here.11 A senator of JOregon has Intro duced a bill to make newspuiwN Kent by mail without buliiKpruvioui ly ordered, regarded us gifts to tho Hcalliwags who take them out of tho ofllco month after month, year uftcr year and read them. "Thin Is the most unkiudestcut of all.1' Let nil nuwspupordom Exclaim "Et tu Unite." whioh translated Is, "Am! you, Oh, you Uruto.4' Audi's McDonald, formerly of tho Hudson Bay company, died Fob. 1U at tho Blnokfoot Itosorvo. Ho limit Fort Hnll In. 1&8 andaftor wnrds the ixwt at (VUvllle. t tiik dull nux hill. Suppose the law exempts from tnxation all pumps, wind mills, etc., Whereby farms are supplied with water. "A," wo' will suppose has some horses he proposes to exchange for pumps and windmills. Should the horses bo exempt from taxation? Everybody would smile at tho sug gestion; Suppose however that lie u-jes the credit which the. possession of the horses and tho prospective ownership of the pumps and mills may give him and floats his obliga tions to pay, to an amount equal with the value of tho projected im provement? What is tho difierence between tho property itself and the credit circulated upon it? Is not one property just as much as the other? We are not arguing for the proprie ty of taxing that lorm of wealth called credit. Many things are tax ed that should not be. The only question here is this will the legis lature be exempting three millions worth of property under cover of ex empting one and a half millions wortli ? Credit is as much property as rent, interest or hire and salary. It is the most potent form of proper ty loo. So long as it is taxed in all cases why see fit to exempt it in one? If ever the question comes before, tho supremo court there can be but one decision, as thero has been before a thousand times. Credit Is property Calling bad names is but the same old resort of would-be tyrants. COUNTV SKAT CHANGES. Tho House most wisely sat down on the bill to re-locate the county seat of Polk county. There is noth ing more pernicious, yes emphatic ally pernicious, than such legisla tion. The county seat of Polk Is in the exact center of a county of level surface generally, every acre of which is of tho very finest farming land on earth. To start a county seat muss there would be a calam ity indeed. To put an end to such disturbances hereafter it would be well to require a two thirds vote of the people in favor not only of re moval but of one point selected by the people for the county seat. Tin: proposition to pension our ex-presidents and vice-presidents is a very sensible one. Strange it has never been done. At no time is there likely to be more than half a doz en of thi'iu alive cotemporaneously. How disgraceful to our nation to hee its former presidents laboring in some humble capacity and perhaps In want. All true labor is honora ble, but it docs make ono feel as though there is an unfitness in tilings to see our ex-President Hayes dealing in hens. True, he deals only in the finer strains, but it is not right. Evi:hywiii:iu: merchants have at first pi oposed homest-'ad exemption, and every where thoy havo learned thatsuch exemptions are to thujr in terest hi tho long run. Why? Sim ply beoiuibe thoso who would evade debts keep just within tho border ot tha exemption. If thero is no exr emption such men have nothing and do nothing; if there is a considerable exemption, they have what the law allows and get ambitious for more and either get abovo shirking or can't help acquiring more. Tin: great evil of tho cigarette is in its tempting tho boys to uso to bacco. As if thero wero not enough slaves to tho weed already among tho thousands who lmv token Into their mouths tho raw, nasty, nause ating tiling and slqwly overcome their natural abhorrence, hero it Is presented in nice, little concealed morsels so that tho foolish child, ere ho suspects it, is as much a slave to It as the most profano old tar that ever rolled over tho quarter deck. SECOND CLASS SLKKl'KltS. After all Pullman Is giving us reasonably low rate for tho use of his sleepers.
