Benator Crow' bill to provide fur a publiu scaler and inspector of aawlogs It aa important measure to Columbia county. It provide! for the establish ment of logging districts, sppoiutmcnt u Inspectors, define their duties, and tiM the computation therefor, which it paid by the parties interested. It create ten districts in the state, the first being composed of Columbia, Clatsop and Multnomah counties. Be low will be seen the principal Bcctioua of the bill: Section 8. No logs shall be removed from the place where they arc boomed or rafted, or required to be scaled and nieas tired as provided for in the last preceding section, unless the owner or owners thereof or some on in their behalf, have cau.-ed the Same to be measun d. scaled and In spected by the lumber inspector, or some of his deputies, of the db-tric t in which euch logs are boomed or rafted for towage, as aforesaid.

" TBS IREASVRER TO COLLECT TAXES. Senator Bancroft has introduced a bill in the aenate providing for the col lection of all taxes by the county treas urer at bit office, which shall be kept open during all business boars of the day. The bill prohibit the levying of special school tax by district, but pro vides that upon proper presentation of certificates to the county court ap propriations may be made for any ne cessary support of schools. This bill also provide for the' ap pointment by the governor of all road supervisors, who shall prepare plans, an estimate of cost of all needed im provements and repairs. Upon the approval of such plana by the governor, the supervisor shall annually there after certify to the county court, be fore its term in September, the amount needed to construct, repair and im prove the roads in his district as de cided upon for the ensuing year. The county court at its September term hall levy a tax' on all taxable property within each road district sufficient to raise the amount necessary, and such tax shall be collected with other taxes by the county treasurer from the prop erty bound thereby. The salary of road supervisors shall be such as the county court may from time to time fix, and shall not be in any case reduced during the term of any supervisor to be affected by such reduction. President Fulton has a plan for remedying the assessment law.which he thinks will obviate the necessity for absolutely repealing the dednction for iadedtednet clause. The principle of allowing a taxpayer a credit for bit debt, he says,is universally recognized to be just if not abused. The abolition of the deduction for debt to furnish a certificate of such indebtedness from their creditor, and then to have this item assessed up to the creditor. If he lira in another county, the assessor receiving the certificate would report it to the assessor of the crebi tor's county. In this way Mr. Fulton thinks the evils of deduction for indebtedness nay be remedied, without doing any injustice to honest debtors. Wa believe Mr. Orchard's water proposition it too high, bnt we tee no good reason why be should not be al lowed to submit an amended proposition- ut an earlier date than the 13th of February. If it takes six months to construct the plant we will pats an Ctl.nr summer without fire protection. , TAXING MORTGAGES. One of the questions that it being quite actively debated by the legM ture of the state is the question of tax inn mortgnect and notes. ' Like every other queaiun it hug two sides anil they both deserve to bo cnrefullv considered before a decision is reached. As a general proposition of equity there can scarcely be two opinioua tu the subject. Credits should be taxed. There is ho ronton why a man who if worth 110,000 in land should be taxed and a man who keeps his 110,000 in cash should be exempt. Every citixeti should pay tuxes, but every citixen does not. The difference between the two classes of property, laud and each, is thtt oue cau be moved and the other cannot. Cash can be iuvested any where; in Europe as well as the United States, in Africa as well at South America. This is not possible with land. It is equally evident that capi tal will go to those locations where it is most liberally treated. The result of taxing mortgage in Oregon and not taxing them in Washington shows this. As the mouey loaner has a field as broad as the world he is independent and is not forced to lend to the Oregon borrower if he is not so inclined. The result is that when money is heavily taxed it escapes to another field of op erations, and the borrower is the suf ferer, not the capitalist. The taxation of credits results iu less ening the supply of money, which means an increase in the rate of inter est, and usually in the devisiug of some system by which the borrower is forced to pay the taxes. The result is that again the debtor is the sufferer. The more capital in the country the cheap er the rale of interest. In New York it is one-third of what it is here. In Washington it is nearly half what it was five years ago. lne legislature should be careful not to drive capital out of the slate.- It should he careful to encourage investments; it should use every meant to make money plenty. and, as a result, cheap. What the people want is plenty of sound money that can be bad at a low rate of inter est. This means prosperity, especially in a new country. OREGON'S TIMBER SUPPLY. Somehow ortther Oregon's timber does not get its share of free advertis ing. It is only a limited number that know the extent of its forests and the value of its timber. Now that lum bermen are beginning to look for spruce, says the Lumberman, it would be well if they would turn their atten tion to the Oregon coast. ' In Tilla mook and Columbia counties are to be found perhaps the heaviest and best developments of spruce. Here, too, are found as large fir trees at are known. It it claimed that one fir tree situated nearSbookum Lako in Tills- mook county, is twenty-eight feet in diameter. Tillamook bay has five good logging streams entering it. The government hst been improving the bars to that navigation can be carried on to a greater, or at might be said, a deeper extent It has taken the city of St. Helens many years to discover (f) that water works would be a "financial bonanza" here, and while gaining this knowl edge the people have suffered their stomachs to wrestle with many barrels of fresh Columbia river water fresh from the sloughs of Sauries island, where the green hued walerdog, musk rat, mud hen and other filtering appa ratus are in constant operation to make trie water pure. Yes, a water system would be a bonanza, perhaps not for the city to own and operate, but for the water consumers. Last spring some outside capitalists considered the proposition of starting a bank here. No sooner was this made public than nearly every man in town wanted to start a bank and proceeded to discourage the outsiders on the quiet, on the ground that the institu tion should be controled by local cap ital and in consequence the men who bad the capital, enterprise and busi ness ability were driven from the field. Now the water question seems to be doomed to suffer the same fate. The citizens of St. Helens have laid unanimously they want a water sys tem better than the flowing Columbia affords. The question is, will their public servants, the city council, ad here to their wishes. Their adjourn ment for nearly oue month while there are propositions waiting to be sub mitted does not look encouraging. Senate bill No. 57, introduced by Huston, of Washington comity, pro vides that! "Whoever, by words, signs or gestures, provokes, or attempts to 3" pff mm . MM.

Senate bill No. 117. introduced by Senator Cross, is intended to empower county courts to construct permanent roads throughout the county. It authorises them to lay out, establish and improve by grading, draining, graveling or macadamizing. Upon the pre sentation of a petition signed by not less than 12 resident landowners whose lands are within to miles of the proposed im provement, the court may appoint an en gineer and viewers to examine the route, and they are authorized to appraise all damsges that will be sustained snd assess the costs relatively npon such lsnd as will be benefited within three miles of the pro posed road, and their report will be made to the couaty court, which will set a day for hearing objections, giving four weeks' notice by publication of such dste. Parties whose lands are affected may remonstrate, showing cause If a majority of those who are assessed to build the road remonstrate on the ground that it is not of public utility, the court will dismiss, the expense sustain' sd to be paid by petitioners. If the report of the viewers is approved the assessment as equalized by the court will stand and be come a Uen npon the property, dating from the filing of the petition. All work will be done by contract under the supervision of competent person selected by the court who must give smple bonds for the faithful performance of his duty. To pay for the im provement the court will issue certificates of assessment bearing 8 per cent, interest to be sold at not less than par. Parties as sessed may pay their assessment at once or in 10 equal annual payments with accrued interest, if, iu the opinion of the court, the road is of general rather than of local bene fit it miy pay. nut to exceed 50 per cent, of t,ie to,a, co,t ot improvement from the f ounty fu.nd- intended to re- I peal any law now in f.irce, as the road aftr once built is to bs kept np nnder the pro visions ef existing laws.
