10 THE KOBNTKG OKEGONTAN, MONDAY, JAOTAHT 23, 1905. MR. MALARKEY REPLIES UPHOLDS S. B. 46 FOR RECORDING CONDITIONAL SALES. Dealers Not Required to Make Con tracts Public Similar Laws in Use Elsewhere. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 22. (To the Edi tor. As I am author of Senate bill No. 46, requiring conditional sales and leases of personal property to be recorded, against which a protest, signed' by a num ber of our prominent merchants, was published in The Oregonian Friday, I feel it incumbent upon me to allay some mis apprehensions and misgivings of the pro tectants and correctly to advise the public of the purpose and scope of the bill in question. An uninformed reader of the article re ferred to might think that the proposed law is a hair-brained measure, wholly without merit, and designed to interfere with ordinary business methods. Such is far from the case. Laws substantially the same as I have proposed have been for several years past In force in the following progressive states of the Union, to-wlt: Colorado. Con necticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Ken tucky, Minnesota. Mississippi, Mis souri, New Hampshire, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey. New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vermont, Texas. Virginia. Washington. West Vir ginia and Wisconsin. The evils prevented by the laws in those states are the evils aimed at here, and these" I will endeavor to indicate briefly. One of the maxims of the law of per sonal property Is that possession and use is a badge of ownership, 1. e., that om found in the possession of and exercis ing acts of ownership over goods and chattels may ordinarily be presumed to be the owner thereof. The public has a right to assume, and the law should bo such that it can safely assume, that the man owns the clothes he wears, or the furniture In his house, or the fixtures in his office or place of business, or the im plements on his farm. He may, it is true, have borrowed or stolen them, but the percentage of cases In which they are borrowed or stolen is, as a matter of fact, very small; and if there is any feas ible way to protect innocent purchasers of borrowed or stolen goods I should like to see it done. If there is some Hen or encumbrance against the property, there should be, for the protection of the pub lic, a reasonably certain way to ascer tain the nature and extent of such lien or encumbrance. For that reason the statutes have always required chattel mortgages to be recorded; and for the very same reason conditional sales should be recorded. A conditional sale or Installment lease of persona property Is a transaction by which the vendor places the vendee In the full and free enjoyment and possession of the property sold, but retains In himself me tine to me property untu an agreed sum has been paid to said vendor, or some other condition has been complied with It may be, and often is, a matter of months, or even years, before this sum has to be paid or these conditions com plied with. In the meanwhile the vendee is permitted to exercise all the rights of absolute ownerships, and there is nothing in nis possession or treatment or enjoy ment of the property that would In any way indicate to the public that he is not the absolute owner. Neither is there un der the present condition of the law any reasonably safe or easy way that an inno cent person can learn that the vendee in possession with whom he Is dealing does not in fact own what every appearance indicates he does own. Let me illustrate: A sells a desk to B lor 360. payable In ten monthly install roents, under an agreement by which A retains title until the whole $50 is naid. and can. In event of default, retake the desk. "B acquires possession of and uses the desk the same as he would if he bought It on credit or had paid cash for it Alter keeping it five months and pay ing iib on it. B sells the desk to C for $30. When the next installment becomes due A shows up and learns what has hap pened, and claims and demands his nron crty. A may let C pay the other $25 and Keep the desk. But A need not do that It Is his desk, and he can retake it, and mane c buy the desk anew for S50. Mv friend in the furniture business says C pnouia nave made the rounds of the fur niture houses and learned from whom the desk was bought, and whether it was luiiy paid for. That would be a bit: iob. even If B had bought and sold in Port land. But these conditional sales are not confined to Portland or to furniture A may live in San Francisco and B In Portland. It may be a case of A in Salem selling a plow to B in Pendleton, or of A in Astoria selling a safe to B In Eu gene. Nor are these conditional sales -confined to sales to private parties or sales oy dealers. Wholesalers In Port land can make conditional sales of agrl- lunuiiu luiiJiemems to aeaiers in our smaller towns, and if the dealer does not pay for the plow or harrow, can take it irom the farmer In the field. A grocer can make a conditional sale of a cash regis ter or a wagon to his neighboring butch er. and the man who subsequently buys me Dutcner siiop win find he has been goid-brlcKed. That this method of dolnir business is becoming widespread is manifest from the number of signatures to the protest referred to. Everybody is learning the so-called advantageous privacy of the condition sale. The old-style transac tlon of a bill of sale with a chattel mort gage back for the balance of the pur chase price may. in the near future, be largely superseded by the accommo dating conditional sale, with Its secret lien. I might multiply Illustrations of the hardships that do and can result from this conditional sale business under pres ent laws; but I think I have said enough to indicate some of the evils aimed at by my bill, which provides that conditional sales shall, unless recorded, be regarded us absolute as to innocent purchasers in good faith from the conditional vendee in possession. The proposed law does not abolish nor prohibit conditional sales. It docs not require conditional sales to be recorded. If the customer has not tho cash and the dealer Is unwilling to extend him credit. the dealer can still protect himself with the conditional sale; and if the customer objects to having the conditional sale contract recorded, it is for the dealer to decide whether or not the customer is honest enough to be trusted with tho property. Whether recorded or unrecord ed, the contract is and remains the same between the dealer and the customer: and if the customer sells before the price Is paid or the conditions complied with, the dealer can prosecute him for larceny by bailee. It is the dishonest or fraudu lent customer the dealer wants protec tion against, and it is the same individual the public needs protection against. Be cause there is no practicable way to fore--varn or protect innocent purchasers of borrowed or stolen goods is no reason why we should not. if we can. protect the innocent and unwary from the dishonest or fraudulent vendee In possession under a conditional sale. Anything that can be raid against recording conditional sales can be said against recording chattel mortgages, and the same policy and rea sons that require the latter to be record ed should require the former to be re corded. The merchants of New York. Chicago and other large Eastern cities, and the Seattle and Tacoma competitors of our Portland merchants, have managed to exist and thrive under laws substantially the same as the one I have .proposed, and it is my opinion that if my bill should become a law it would make no material difference in the business of any of those who protest against it. I understand that WOMEN WHO CHARM IEALTK IS THE FUST ESSEXM It Stips Wsw te Win ud Held Stem's JLAminttos, Kegpect a&d Lots Woman's greatest rift s the power to inspire admiration, respect, and love. There is a beauty in health -which is saore attractive to mem tnaa mere regu larity ox feature. To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. At the first indication of ill-health, painful or irregular menstruation, headache or badsache, secure Ljdia E. Pinkhanfs Vegetable Compound and berin its use. Mrs. Chas. P. Brovra, Vice-President Mothers' Ciub, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " For nine y ears I dragged throtffih a miser able existence, suffering with inflammation and falling of the womb, and worn out with pain and weariness. I one day noticed a state ment by a woman suuenngas l was, dui wdo had been cured by Lydia E.Pinkham's Veg jiMa flomnound. and I determined to trv it. At the end of throe months I was a different I woman. Every one remarked about it, and my husband fell in love witn me ail over pound built up my entire system, cured the womb trouble, and I felt like a new woman. I am cure it will make every suffering woman strong, well and happy, as lfc has me." Women who are troubled with pain ful or irregular menstruation, br.ck- ache, bloating- (or flatulence), Jeucor- rhoeu, faUing; inflammation or ulcera tion of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizzi ness, f aintness, indigestion, or nervous prostration may be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, under the .practical operation of these laws in other states contracts are ordi narily not recorded when the vendee has the reputation of being honest. If he does not enjoy that reputation, should not the public, as well as the dealer, be protected against him? I admit that the proposed law will com pel dealers to exercise some discrimina tion for their own protection In deter mining which contracts should and which need not be recorded, and to that extent will impose additional work on them. J."ew, however, arc the laws that do not Impose new duties or obligations on some one. The question for the honest and Impartial legislator In cases like this Is: "What will bring the greatest good to the greatest number?" As to cost, the recording fees would be small. I should be willing to have the bill amended so that the contracts would only be tiled and indexed at a cost of 25 cents each. The talk about additional expense in conducting the recorder's office is silly. If the contracts to be recorded were as numerous and the cost of recording as great as is claimed by some, the bill would be entitled to favorable considera tion as a revenue producing measure. I have no. personal interest in the bill, nor was it. in any sense or form, intro duced by me at the instance of or for the benefit of anrone who would be par ticularly benefited by its enactment Into law. I introduced the bill because I be lieved it would be a salutary Jaw. Maybe it would not be. I am still ready to be converted to that view. In this, as In all other matters, coming before the Legisla ture. I will endeavor to act as the repre sentative of all the people and do only that which I believe to be right. DN J. MALARKEY. Land Frauds in a Theater Enterprising1 Theatrical Man Think Government MetliodnToo Conservative. IT may be that Portland people in a general way are slow to see an op portunity, but that this Is not true of some of the people Is shown by many in cidents growing out of the land fraud trials and investigations. One of these, and perhaps the most unique of the lot, was sprung a few days ago, when a theatrical manager of the city called upon one of the officials of the Government connected with the in vestigations now being conducted. Once in the presence, the visitor seem ed a little at a loss to state thu objoct of his call. "I am very much Interested In these land fraud investigations." he confided at length. The representative of the Government was glad to hear it and suggested that the people generally showed some Inter est In what was going on. "The Mitchell-Hermann trial will be very dramatic. 1 suppose." insisted the visitor, trying for a new opening. The point was conceded as possible, and the conversation lagged for a minute. "How long will It take to complete the trial?" was the next question. The Government man judged from what he knew of the case that it would take several days, and admitted he did not know all about it. "Well." said the theatrical man. "I will give the Government 52500 If it will con duct the trial in my theater. The official was too much astonished to make any reply, and so the man con tinued. "You know," he said, persuasively, "the Federal courtroom Is too small by half to hold the crowds that will gather to hear the case. The court, the Jury, everybody, will be herded together, and It will be very uncomfortable and most inconvenient." The listener opened bis mouth to speak, but the other continued, hurriedly: "Now every convenience could be given in the theater. Comfortable seats are there for the spectators. The room is large, well ventilated and well arranged. I would fix the stage up In very comfort able style, leaving nothing lacking that might be desired by the court, jury or attorney's. I would see that everyone had all that might be needed." The official managed to break In here, apd argued in rebuttal. "My dear sir." he said. "I will admit it might be more comfortable and con venient, but I am sorry to say neither Government nor Judge Bellinger would ever consent to such an arrangement. I would like to do anything to oblige you. and perhaps the Govomment needs the money, but your proposition is impossi ble. It could never be done.

"I am awfully sorry." he said, as he fumbled with the doorknob. "It would have been a bonanza. I could have filled that place, aisles and all. at a dollar a head, and it would have beaten any com pany on the road." And the manager left thinking It a shame the cold and cal lous heart of the Federal Court would not recognize progressive effort when it cropped out. Trainmen Expect a Settlement.
