low will be seen the principal Bcctioua
of the bill:
Section 8. No logs shall be removed

8ecth13- TBe fine recovered nnder
the provisions of this chapter shall be for
ths benefit of the common school fund of
the state: and such fines shall be assigned
and paid to the counties in which the logs
were cut. "
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.

IN THE SENATE.
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
