I 4. iuw 1HE WEST SIDE tWfKP BY Polk County Publishing Company FRIDAY, HNUARY. Uil. VNtTKIt ACTION. A ttmo is comluR, ami that very toon in the history of ItiuVpcudoihW when, upon tho untUnl action of her citisciia tlopetul in a great measure her future prosperity. It will Iw a decision not on what we can do, but what we must do, M'e have, through his paper, urged upou the people the importance of a railroad to Falls City. We have nhown that the building of a railroad at Uie Falls and tho establishment there of manufacturing industrica is of no disadvantage to this city; therefore, our business men cau with the Jutmost confidence en courage Buch an enterprise. Our property owners reuliie that with the ail vent of a railroad prices will materially advance, therefore, they are ready to make definite promises based on the future. Among our formers it is recognized that con venient markets and rapid transit mukes Uveir property more valu able aud home life ou the farm more desirable; consequently, they, too, are willing to assist such movement. There are, however, men iu every coiumuuity who will not subscribe to any public nicas are, which is in itself bad enough; but what is worse thotw same kind of men are the very ones to bo most active in raising objections, and imagining evils, aud in luct being like the dog in the manger not able to eat the huy themselves nor willing to allow anything else to eat it It is to such incu that we now appeal. Let us have your unqualified support! If you can not help matters along from a financial standpoint then use your tongue in (Minting out to others the mauy advantages so that they may lend additional assistance and make up your lack. If we, as a community, can pull together, each doing their part, be it great or small, such united action will ac complish wonders. l)o you believe a railroad to Falls City will be of any benefit to the people of Falls City or of Mon mouth or of Independence? If you do theu it becomes your duty to say so at every fitting opportunity if you are desirous of seeing it built. The seed sown iu a community through the conversation of the people is more beneficial than when sown in any other manner. The time, we believe, is not far distant when a solution of this question will be of the very greatest impor tance, and even now it should be amply discussed. The main ques tion for each individual to ask is this: Provided that a railroad is built what will be my gain! If a business man what i urn-. we in trade, and if a property owner what advance in values! Having answered these questions, then let each individual determine on the amount of assistance which they could give and if needed would give. If you have one hundred acres of land which is now worth $10,000 and the railroad would in crease it to 130,000, you surely could give 13000; and if a town lot now worth $500 which will increase to $1500, you can surely promise $150. The merchant who cnu in crease his trade from $10,001) a year to $30,000 can assist to the extent of at least $300, aud even the laboring man who can only get work half the time at say $100 a year, could afford to give $50 to assist him in obtaining a yearly in come of $800. The fact is that every individual in a community is inter ested in having a railroad and should be willing to show his ap preciation in some substantial man ner. A Salera correspondent to the daily Oregonian of Jan. 7th com piles an ominous list of figures on the clerical expenses incurred by the last session of the legislature. The communication is headed "Com mittee Clerkesses," and is largely an argument against the employ ment of so many lady clerks. The writer goes on to say: "A member of the last legislature has taken from the records and handed to me the subjoined items. For that session $15,000 was paid for salaries of committee clerks. Of this the engrossment committee had $1000; the enrollment com inittee $000. The cost of engross ing was 65 cents per folio. The judiciary committee had 43 bills referred to it, and f 100 clerk charges; that of elections, 4 bills and $185 for clerk; claims, 9 bills, $142 clerk; assessment 2, $105 clerk; counties 10, $200 clerk; ways and means 4, $200 clerk; education 0, $220 clerk; commerce 14, $200 clerk; agricultural 0, $185 clerk; roads and highways 0, 1105 clerk; military affairs 3, $340 clerks; rail roads fi, $325 clerks; mining 1, $200 clerks; publie lands 2 bills, $785 clerks; fishing industry 0, $200 clerk; federal relations 1 bill, $150 clerk; printing, no bill, $200 clerk. The only committees reported with out clerks were those on publie buildings and corporations, the first of which had 3 bills and the. last 21. The clerical work of the committee on corporations was per formed by a member of the com mittee. Not all these committees 'lady clerks,' but nearly all , and .in my Knitt wrmtd'hure" none if they had not had such. to of the clerks, it is said, had ... t. 1 .. .. - . 111 had Homo nothing whatever to do, and did nothing, until at the close of the session, they presented their claims tor lorty itays service.' If any citizen of any of our towns In Oregon should borrow $1000 for one year ou real estate security he would pay at 7 ler cent, for the use of that money $70. But suppose he cannot get money at less than ten per wnt. (and he cannot get any great quantity at that rate in Ore gon) he thus pays iu interest on one thousand dollars $100, or a dif ference of $30. That thirty dollars represent the cost to every borrow er of the mortgage tax law in Ore gon, for iu Washington money cau he had for 7 m- cent, while iu Ore gon it is ten per cent, ou gilt edge se mritv. When a man borrows money at eight per cent, and agrees to pay the taxes he, in very many eases, twvs twelve ier cent, for his money, aud yet the mortgage tax law helps the Iwrrower they and ''cinches" the money lender. You cannot make money loan itself for less than it is worth any more than you can legislate aud succeed iu getting labor for less than it is worth. In both cast s you simply do without, w hat you should pay for. The Salem Jimrmtl says that the recent New Year's issue of the Or goman was as much a Washington edition as one of Oregon, aud says this iu a spirit of censure, aud yet the Journal knows and the Ore gimuiH makes no secret of the fact, that it is paid so much per page or line for its advertising of not only Washington but Oregon. Why does not the Journal seek for a cause for the fact that Washington systematically advertise in Oregon, but Oregon never ndvertises iu Washington! The Journal would lie only too glad to glad to get some of that iiatronage itself. The fact that the thtyoniiiH takes advertise uient from astnngton or any other state is not a proper subject of censure. Better thut some gooil reason be giveu why Washington can afford to advertise outside of the state while Oregon cannot, Land in Oregon is cheap. Why! Because lutercst on money is high. The man who borrows at eight per cent, (the lowest rate in Oregou) and agrees to pay the taxes really pays about eleveu per cent for his money. If he can afford to pay eleven per cent, for money and his laud is now worth thirty dollars an acre, if he could borrow money at 7 per cent his laud would be worth about forty seven dollars an acre for the interest on thirty dollars at eleven per cent, amounts to $3.30 a year, at seven per cent, forty seven dollars, it is about the tame, Xow where is the gain to the farm er in paying a high rate interest John I. Irish is authority lor the statement that wages in the United States are 77 percent, higher than in England. Using "statistics for results we find that when a la boring mau receives 35 J cents per day in Russia, he is paid for the same work f5cts per day in Italy, 72 cents per day in Germany, K0 cents per day in France, 91 cents per day in England and 1.G0J cents per day in the United States. Is it any wonder that labor seeks to make its home in America! MKMllfcK Or TIIK I KOISl.AH UK Ili-publ Irani In UiMiuin; iM-niix-nit In Hullo. SKNATolW. NAMK.

Km ixm Vwt Sum: As the Christ mas vacation has rolled around, 1 find tliuo to write you letter descriptive of the unlventlty. For the last three week the eauipus of the college ami the country swund has been eovcM with snow, sleighing Is excellent, aud cent ml New York Is having sit old fashioned Jolly winter. The university Is located on the eastern hillside of the Cayuga Ijike valley Iu Tompkins county, New York, and some four hundred feet alsve the head of the lake. This lake stretches away more than twenty mtu to the south, In full view of the university, From both sides of the laku ravine run Istck, through which ionslderalilc streams fall from four to six hundred feet III the course of a mile. The university L-rumulit consist of two hundred and seventy acre of land tsiunded north and south by I'all Cnt-k liavluoaud tWatlllla Gorge sHetlvely. The eastern sir(loii, of alsuit two hundred acres, Is devoted to the use of the agricultural drpiirlmrnl. This feature Is a imslcl of lt kind. All kinds of fanning is carried ou ami they make the farm pay Us way. A great ilcul of exH-rlmeutal farming Is done here and they are having very gixHl sum-ns In their forcing houses, ljulte a ImTk-c nuiulH-r of lilisMled aub louls htv kept. The deportment Is also supplied w Ith model buildings of their kind. Two main avenues, Central and Kat avenue, well shaded by elms, run parallel to each oilier the entire length of the eastern portion of the eauipus, a distance of half a mile. Outhi-m- ami ihe Intersecting avenues an' groiis-i' the university buildings ami more than thirty residences of professor. The grounds re laid out with great care, an- decorated with ornamental tain ami shrulis, and are made to Illustrate the courses of Instruction In botany, horticulture, and agriculture. Over thirteen hundred students are registered In the college and there are atsmt fifty full professors anil mure than us muuy asshtunt Instructors. rciilled the sl.o of the "student Isidy" the other day w hen I mn across nil other man from I'ortlaud who was here three inoliths ts-fon we met, not withstanding that I made a syste matic hunt for Oreipmiuns. The college has a tiumls-r Inre ami huiidsume building and more are to Is? built won. An agricultural hall is to Isj put up next year. The large library hall now building Is to Ite nady by next fall, it Is the gift of a wealthy Ithaeun and will have nmi for two hundred students to work their at once without hclnif the Isast crowd, ami the library contains one hundred and llfty thousand volumes. The university hits three flue musn ums where one never iris-s without somethliiK new catching lilseye, They have suitable building In which to dis play only one collection as yet, but as I said Is-forc the college is building steadily. Inlen-stliig anil Instructive lectures am given almiwt every night In the week on some topic, A large iiumls-r of the lecturers an noted men from all over the country and the lectures are given admission free. splendid opportunity to hear gmsl ser mons and noted prenchcrs Is given every Sunday, when some well-known minister occupies the college cbiis-l. Cornell was one of the llrst of the large college to throw Its disirs osui to higher education for women, and now women an- admitted to any cour1 on exactly the siunc finding as men. At Sage college Is a dormlntory for admit one hundred ladles with a lady principal. It Ih always full of young lady students niul many more have room In private families. There Is an entire alwcuce of the dormitory system for the men. The fraternities, or Greek letter secret so cieties, Is'liig a favorite method among the student In which to have con genial lodging. During the fall anil spring terms out door athlclli-s are run In curliest, Foot hall, base ball, rowing and tennts all have many enthusiastic supporters, In the winter term the gymnasium Is always crowded with men exercising and training for the Indoor class eon testa in athletics. In closing tills summary, I can only say that at Cornell one cau gi t any kind of Intellectual training he desires. The only course that I urn aware is omitted, Isiing one iu theology, It.
