J. J. HILL AN'p TIIK MXI) HOG.
The following article from the
Portland Journal 1r too true and so
applicable to conditions In many
Iiartd of Oregon that we cannot pass
it, and so republish It for the solid
common sense truths it carries:
"James J. Hill is right. If you
put the price too high, you cannot
get the people put on tue mna. ji
in a contention that The Journal has
maintained ever since It was estab
lished, i ;
"Kor the wild page brush land of
Baa tern Oregon tile $15 to $25 asked
is too much. Sueji prices discourage
settlement. It jig, more than home
builders can pay. (
"By Buch demands, land specula
tors are strangling , development.
They are holding back the progress,
both of city and country.
It Is a criminal injustice to society.
Occupied land makes markets for
the products of city workers. It
makes products and agricultural out
put with which they city workers are
Ted. clothed and sheltered.
"When theBe Isnds are held in Idle
ness, the city workers' market Is nar
rowed. The producing area of the
state Is correspondingly restricted.
The feeding power of the state Is to
that extent reduced.
"In effect, tho land speculntor who
is holding large areas out of use Is
a public enemy. He is undermining
the welfare and iwosperlty of soci
ety. He Is knowingly mid for his
own selfish purposes reducing the
aggregate of the food stuffs on
which cities must depend fur sur
vival. Ho Is knowingly and for his
own greedy desires, forcing to re
main in the clticH tain flies who
would otherwise become workers in
tho great army of agricultural pro
ducers. It is not only execrable, hut
it is well nigh an immoral net to
thus hold land In idleiifss.
"Mr. Hill's ukhh u It on tho land
speculators is u conspicuous public
service. It Is nn impressive guide
to all observers In shaping their esti
mate of tho uhominabln practice of
holding laud at Impost Ible prices
whilo thousand of the landless are
clamoring for a home and a chance
to survive on I't s"H.
"Down with 1ji;kI hog."
Mr. 11111 struck the right cord In
his remarkable address when he stat
ed that the backbone of this country,
and especially of our part, was iigri
cultitra, and bis words are not more
applicable to any other places than
tny lire to Douglas county. It Is
not with tourist travel, it Is not with
manufacturers that we must expect
to first build up a large city here In
the county seat of this big rich coun
ty. While alt these are factors that
should nint will bo, fostered, for the
boiiefllH they bring, tlte more perma
nent, the wider reaching and lasting
results must come from the cultiva
tion of the lands and tho increasing
population of the country districts.
One family of workers on n -10 acre'
tract of producing soil h worth more
to the upbuilding of city and county, j
than are eight non-resident owners j
farming their flve-aero lots by proxy,,
or holding their vast sections abso
lutely unimproved, and waiting for
nn oxborbltnut profit that can only
be realized through actual settle
ment. It Is lime fur the press of thlft
state In each community to hammer
this fact Into' unwilling ears, and
when the awakening dees come it
will be followed will) an Influx of
settlers who could not be driven
away. A splendid slogan f-r com
mon use would be "down with the
land hog".
now not to have any slush to wade
through and no Know drifts to shovel
off the walks, Instead wo can go out
and pek off some roses instead. Our
one regret is that climate is not cap
able of being put in packages, then
we might do up some and send it
back to our shivering friends.

with this provision.
' "Section 18 of Art. 1, provides:
" 'Private property shall not be
taken for public use, nor the parti
cular services of any man be de
manded, without just compensation;
nor except in the case of the state,
without such compensation first as
sessed and tendered.
"The irequlrement that the team
ster shall file with the city recorder
a list of transactions done by him
during the day does not require his
services without compensation, Inas
much as this is a mere regulation
Imposed under the police power.
"Section '&& of Art. 4 prohibits the
passage of car tain local and special
laws but this section does not touch
the matter contained In your ordin
ance: neither is this ordinance Illegal
as being class legislation inasmuch as
It relates to all persons engaged in
a particular occupation and Imposes
a reasonable regulation thereon.
" 'The legislature may prescribe
different laws of police, allow the
right of eminent domain to be exer
cised in different cases, and through
different agencies, and prescribe pe
culiar restrictions upon taxation in
each distinct municipality, provided
the state constitution does not for
bid. These discriminations are made
constantly; and the fact that the
laws are of local oir special operation
only is not supposed to render them
obnoxious In principle. The legisla
ture may also deem It desirable to
prescribe peculiar rules for the sev
eral occupations, and to establish
distinctions in the rights, obligations,
duties and capacities of citizens.'
"Cooley's Con. him., p 505.
" 'Itelatlve to authority which may

y:il-'t, which reads as follows:
" 'It Is within the province of tho
police power to regulate such occu

of a quasi-public nature, or as may,
if unrest ricled in their cxerejue, lie
injurious to the public- health, safety,
morals or general welf are, ' even
though they may be perfectly lawful,
and their exercise not a nuisance

"And ngaln at page 0114 :
" 'The police power Is frequently
