In the death of Justice Miller
the supreme court has lost its
briehest judicial tuiud, and A moi l
ca her ablest jurist. His mind was
aa pellucid as a mountain stream,
and his judgement uuwarrMl by
the storms of passion and prejudice.
His moral character was above
suspicion, and his official life with
out reproach. His death is i
nations loss,

Last week incorporation papers
were filed iu Salem and Dallas of
the Polk County Publishing Co.
of Independence, Oregon, with
110.000 canital. The stock of
. - -1 -
this corporation has all bceu sub
scribed and at no distant day the
plant, and good will of the preseut
West Sldb will be sold to the new
corporation. While to our readers
no change will be seen, yet it is
hoped that the change will strength
en the hold of this paper iu this
community.
The Temescal tin mines have
suddenly sprung into prominence
through the increased duty on tin
provided for in the McKiuley tariff
bilL Some mouths ago a syndicate
began operations toward develop
ing tin mines at Temescal, San Her-
nardino county, Cal. It is claimed
"that the magnitude and multi
plidty of the veins iu this district,
together with the unusual richness
and purity of the ores, warrant the
belief that we shall at no distant
day be as independent of England's
tin as we now are of foreign borax,
Iron, quicksilver and coal."
Only a small proportion of the
farming community can go to
bank and overdraw their account
without giving security or at least
a note. Many times business men
of known commercial standing are
allowed to over draw largely, and
settlement is made at the end
of the month, and interest charged
during the time of the draft. If
deducting the indebtedness clan.se
gives this class of busines men a
better credit, where is the harm to
the rest of the state! The city
merchant has no mortgages on re
cord against his property. The mort
gage tax law does not effect him
but the indebtedness clause does.
Taking the census returns of
Polk county we find that we will
have only about two-thirds of a
senator at the new apportionment
and just a trifle over one reprown
tative. Poor little Polk I And yet we
can derive some comfort from the
fact that with 7730 population, and
over 300,000 acres of tillable land
in the county we have forty acres
to support every man, woman and
child; and it gives to each house
holder an average of 200 acres of
land. Counting the towns at over
half the population it leaves 300,
uuu acres to be dividea among
about 600 householders or au aver
age of 500 acres to each. The
county of Polk can stand a popu
lation of 25,000 and not be one bit
crowded. '
When money is borrowed of an
individual the borrower deducts
his debts from his taxable property
and the lender is supposed to pay
4he tax. When the state loans
any money it does so knowing that
it is robbing itself of not only that
amount of taxable property,for it is
not taxable, bnt that the borrower
will deduct the debt and get out of
that much more. The present
assessment law makes taxes un
equal, and hence causes dissatis
faction. The Oregonian is right in saying
that Oregon is a paradise for money
changers or brokers. Our laws are
a sort of protective measure,
bnt like some other protective
measures should protect the proper
article, Since Oregon does not
now, nor ever has, produced all the
money needed for her business, we
; want no laws keeping out foreign
capital. The hard work done by
bankers in loaning their money is
well enough paid already, conse
quently let us open the gates of
Oregon to cheap foreign money,
even though the plethoric purses
of our banker friends suffer there
by.
House bill No. 09 of the last
legislature was an attempt; to im
prove on'our present law, but out
siila of making provision for pre-
cincfc assessors, had no merit in it,
having the same Indebtedness
clause, and dovotiug nearly one-
third of the bill to taxing banks,
showing plaiuly that the tnUnttou
wits to, if possible, make money
pay ita full share of taxes, which
under the present system it does
not, and until our system is iinprO'
ved bunks will shirk their share of
th taxes.

There is one point in this assiww
ntent question which is not under
stood by the general reader,
and that is why the towns which
are to day paying the least taxes of
any locations in the state are the
most clamorous for a tax law which
shall make their total amount of
taxes many times what it Is now
The questiou naturally arises, why
do towns ask for the repeal of the
indebtedness clause! If the towns,
as is uie ease, pay a less average
tax, and yet whore statistics are
used, have the greatest average
wealth, why do they clamor for
the repeal of the indebtedness
clause! The Orrgmfon hits the
nail on the head when it says that
in the city men borrow ou their
commercial credit, and it is an easy
muiter to nave aots at the proper
time to evade taxation. When
some of the banks in Portland will
honor the draft of some of the mer
chant princes for huudreds of thou
sands af dollars, it will be seen how
easy it is to evade the law. While
Portland's or other city's men of
wealth can evade taxes, yet they
would prefer to have no indebted
ness clause, ana wnyr uecause a
tax levy based on all they possess
and hold would so strengthen their
commercial credit that they could
well afford to pay the taxes. In a
great city an established credit 1b
worth more than actual wealthy.
Merchantlle agencies do rate men
at their true worth, but when men
of Portland could appear on the tax
roll as possessors of thousands, the
general public becomes informed.
It is to be strengthened commer
dally that causes the wealthy men
of the cities to cry against the in
debteducss clause. A careful in
vestlgation of the assessment rolls
will show that the cities are paying
the least taxes, and if by not de
ducting indebtedness the cities
would pay the greater portion of
taxes, what harm docs it do the
rural districts!
In the last legislature Mr. Paul
son introduced a bill providing for
precinct assessors in each county.
We here qnote the section relating
thereto.
Section 6, It is hereby made
the duty of the several county
courts in this State at the February
term thereof, in the year 1888, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, to
aiviue tneir counties into as many
tax districts as said court may
deem extiedient and number the
same; which districts shall be
known by their numbers; and in
creating the same said courts will
best secure aa many precincts, or
in cities as many wards, as in the
judgement of said courts shall in
clude as many precincts, or in
cities as many wards, as in the
judgement of said courts will best
secure a prompt and correct list
ing and assessment of all property
therein: and on or before the first
day of February, or as toon there
after aa practicable of each year
thereafter, the several county
assessors In the State shall nomi
nate and by and with the consent
of the several couuty oourU ap
point a deputy county assessor tor
each of said tx districts, except
the one In which the assessor re
Bides, which deputies must be ap
pointed with Httecial reference to
their qualifications and fitness to
discharge the duties required by
this Act, and must have the same
qualifications as the couuty assessor,
must qualify in like manner, and
each must have resided in the
county for two years before hta ap
pointment, aud must at the time of
bis appointment be a resident of the
district for which he la appointed;
aud said deputy county assessors
shall have the same powers and
discharge the same duties required
by luw of the couuty assessor.
Hiuce the business of cities Is
largely based ou a system of credits
and to strengthen that credit is why
business men are willing to pay
taxes ou their whole available
wealth, a short dewertation ou
credit may not be amiss. Credit,
in political economy, is one of many
terms used in that science, of which
it is said that we yet possess uo
scientific definition. This is less to
be regretted, as the practical mean
ing of the word is well known, so as
to euable every one to understand
what is meant when economists
speak of the extent to which credit
is safs and proper, unsafe or lin
projier, in this or that clnss of cases.
The nature of credit fat, that while
it serves the purpose of capita), it
can only do so while there is capi
tal ready to come and take its place
if necessary. Credits Which are
not in this position though they
may hapen to serve their term, as
a ship may sail some distance un
wrecked without a steersman do
not accomplish the purpose of cap
ital. The real iwwer of credit
properly resting ou capital, is that
It enables that capital to lie devoted
to more than one purpose. A bank
is a great emporium of credits; that
is to say, it consists of a certain
amount of capital which can be
oMruted on by a whole community,
not all at one time, but by individ
uals as occasion requires. Thus a
comparatively small stock of money
can be made to do duty for carry
ing on numerous transactions. But
it Is indispensable for Insuring a
safe system of credit, that money
must be lustautly available when
wanted; and this principle applys
notaloueto banking but to every
siiecies of transaction, in which
postponed payment is concerned
It is because a grwit part of the
commercial world does business on
Its credit that lue demand cornea
from that source for a strengthen
ing of credit Turkey, Hpaln and
other countries with a poor credit
pay a high rate of interest. Our
government with a first clans credit
gets money at low rates or Interest.
A good credit is of great value.
