Editors Domocrnt :
Twenty-three more days for the Legls-
ature. The week has been taken up most-
by the local water bill of Portland.
That is It has underlled everything else.
The Eugene sewerage bill was put on the
boards first. The great question In both
cases being the taxation of the bonds to be
Issued to carry out these enterprises. The
discussions before the House were by no
means edifying. In fact each speaker
seemed to aim it show how llttld he knew
on the subject ml taxing bonds of a muni
cipality. And on this point many reasons
were given pro and con that were very
thin. For Instance one gentleman
champion was asked to answer a question
growing out of his statement that these
bonds would go out of the State anyway as
five per cent bonds were not our capital
seekers, "what difference then would It
make whether taxed or not." He answer
ed that foreign capital would not take them
because It was feared abroad that our leg-
siature would declare, them real estate and
li them where Issued. To a man of com.
mon sense this seemed ridiculous. Mort
gages are se declared in this State for the
urpose of the mortgage tax law, but bonds
hlch are promissory notes reslly bear no
fetation to the soil and float as personal
property and can float as nothing else, If
the gentleman had said we can sell the
bonds here with five cent Interest If not
taxed and eight per cent If taxed thereby
saving forty-five thousand dollars annually
to Porttand, It they are not taxed.he weuld
have been plausible at least. But his an-
wer was like the balance of reasons given.
The fact Is if the bonds bear flv. per cent
ntercst our banks will make if desired by
selling one per cent on them tax or no tax.
They will find if they take them with in
terest at five per cent, a ready Eastern
market with a premium offered of one to
S . . . eve, . a a a
wree per cent, i axing municipal bonus
is a question of importance to the muni-
Ipality that gives the money really which
the bonds represent. And where the
scheme is for sewerage or pure water -all
going to the health of the community, the
bonds slwwld not be taxed. But for any
other object, usually speculative as subel.
dies they should be taxed. This distinction
however was not made, but we think It is
justified by precedent. Though it was ad
mltted by those favoring the measure in
their Innocence that there were no prece
dents for exempting municipal bonds from
taxation, j he t'ortland bill passed 33 to 13.
The scene looked like a bankers conven
tion. If there was a bonk in Portland not
represented on the flocr of the House by
their officers it mould be a standing fact to
reveal, uowditch stvied the measure as
-a bill to enrich the bankers."
la a farmer letter we ssld there were
three thousand dollars paid out for clerk
hire at the last session, when it should have
been between ten and eleven thousand
dollars. How much of this was meritor
ious is the question with the economist
Senator Irvine's measure would have test
ed this point, but he wss voted down
Probsbly one fault of it.
On Tuesday evening next before the
joint convention of both Houses, the life
atcd picture ot Dr. John McLaughlin will
be presented t the State by Hon. John
jMinio ami received by oovernor rennoy-
cr. As both ot these gentlemen are known
to be successes on like occasions this Is one
of great promise. No man In Oregon,
dead or alive deserves higher praise from
tier cm uren than nr. McLaughlin, and we
predict mat Mr. ;i into win substantiate
this fact, e
K. 11. Dearborn, the patient, newty ap
pointed Postmaster of Salem has teen
confirmed. This is a deserved compliment
to Mr. Dearborn. Now If a new incum
nent could follow In the national inslltu
Uon of Indian extraction In this county
some government patronage might flow
there through democratic hands for four
years. But this no doubt Is too late.
rw real estate agents pop up here in
the morning as if they were muahrooms.
So long as the vagrant laws are in force
they cannet starve. Several excited peo
pie go out daily with smoked glass to see
If the "boom" Is In slzht. We look tor candy
and bread wagons to be converted Into
real estate offices as every other place-
nearly Is occupied by them. Piping times

THE M IN ABOUT TOWN
Speaking oi the city charter, we do hope
the cow part wilt get through anywsy.
Suppose we drive the c6ws through first
and then leave the bars down and let the
crowd gee and haw at the rest of the ani
mals.
! 1 fi -5 1 ;
Judging from conversation with peo.de
who have been In most of the cities of the
Northwest we have come to the conclusion
that Albany Is about the most respectable
kinaot a city anywhere around. It may be
noticed that nesr'y all of the naughty car
rylngons are by outsiders.
The advance agent for St. Valentine Is
In the city. The show promises to be of a
more refined nature than ot old, tastily
made, artistic productions taking the place
of the old style, disgraceful appearing,
slovenly looking ailatrs that formerly oc
cupled front seats In tbe windows.
Whether or not a whist club should be
allewed to rent a certain hall In Albany is a
question that has shaken one or two socie
ties up considerably, resulting In a losing
hand for the card side.
I I
The Man About Town has been request
ed to give the position of the Oregon Pa-,
clfic In reference to their opposition to be
ing taken Into the city limits as provided
under the proposed city charter. We do
so, without comment.and it would be a poor
stick of a news githeret that couldn't do
that much. They claim that It would de
feat the object for which the land was ob
tained, that of building a round house and
machine shops on such parts of it as they
please. In the city limits It could bo laid
off in streets, though absolutely none of it
is tor sale, the only effect would be to
make the Company pay city taxes and
would antsgonlxe them toward our city.
Tills is the way the matter Is stated to us.

Children Cry fo?,
A Game of Tickle Bills appropriat
ing over $350,000 are now before the State
Legislature. There seems to be a game of
"tickle-each-other" going on between Port
land representatives and Eastern and South-
em Oregon legislators. In this respect
Linn county representatives do not stand
in with them at all. They are making a
good recjrd.
Cake Presented. Thursday night at
the U P church, after the annual congre
gational meeting was finished, Dr Irvine
was presented with an elegant gold headed
cane, as an expression of the apprecla
of his congregation far the services he has
done them as a Christian minister. If the
cane wears as well as its donee there will
be no question but it will be handed down
to future generations.
Old Patents. The original patent of
Perry Thomas has just b:en filed in the

Buchanan, president, and is dated In 1859.

TilE FLAG.
Samoa arid the United Stat.
(Written for the Democrat.)
The time has come for the United States
to show her hand. The Germans have
played the pirate long enough in little
Samoa.and It is extremely necessary, that,
by force of arms, tnis country cause them
to halt. England should join forces with
us to compel the Germans to desist from
further depredations j but the signs of the
times augur that the British Empire docs
not want a brash with the armies of WU
hclm. True, our fleet Is not a first-class
one ; but we have other advantages and
should follow them up. We can land
troops sufficient at Apia and other points
In Samoa, which, acting in concert with
our fleet would give the Germans the
sound thrashing they so justly deserve. In
our opinion, the time has passed tor dlplo
matlc Interference. Lt our Minister be
recalled from Berlin and Germany's em,
bassador at our National Capital receive his
psssport home. Let war be declared. Let
our North and South Pacific squadrons.to
gether with our now famous dynamite
cruiser, "The Vesuvius," and as many
other gunboats as possible, be .hastened to
the Samoan Islands. Our flag has been
insulted. Our Congress has been insulted.
The honor and Integrity of the entire
United States demands Instant reparation
and that reparation can only come through
udiclous and Immediate use of powder and
lead. .The late dispatches are of no friend-
y nature and the mobilizing of German-
men-of-war at Apia means a stubborn
fight If any country Interferes. Our t'taty
with Samoa, means our Interference In the
present crisis.' Will we do it? Must we
allow Germany to obtain a foothold In the
South Pacific and float her flag over the
Samoan Islands t It our Congressmen are
far-seeing enough they will Instantly
recognize the utility ot these South Pacific
Islands In the future. The interchange of
. . a .
commerce, not to speaaos me necessary
coaling 1 tat ions, is enough to make us de
clare Germany's actions as indicative of
war and prepare to contest the ground.
True, should a skirmish ensue.the fighting
will be at and around the Samoan Islands,
and whilst the German men-of-war may
be better than ours, we have active sailors
and marines who are much more proficient
than Bismarck's swillers of lager beer and
devourers of pretzels. The firing on, the
tearing down of the stars and stripes Is
surely a war sign and should be met
broadsides from our Navy. We trust Con
cress wilt not be slow in tbe matter. The
Sla'e Department has laid all the necessary
Information before that distinguished body,
so there is no cxcum for them to dclsy.
The tariff should now be laid aside. Tariff
Is only a matter between the two parties
and, whilst of vital Importance, Is not oa
much so as the maintalnance of our honor
and Integrity as a people. Upon Samoan
affairs the North, South, East and West are
a unit No loyal man, and such exists all
over our broad domain, will say "nay" to
our prompt Interference. Within our mem
ory, and not many years ago, BIsmark in
sulted our country, and then the cry was
raised we have no Navy. With the knowl
edge of our being nearer to Samoa than
Germany, and our ability to successfully
cope with that power, we cannot shout "no
Navy." "War be It then.we have millions
for defense, but net one cent for tribute,'
said Plnckney years ago at the French
Court, and bvthat envoy's resoluteness a
strife was avoided. Let the same saying
be now our watchword, for our treaty obli
gations with Samoa, solemn as they are,
place us in an attitude compromising, in
deed, if we do not stop German encroach
ments over there, and prove to the world
that he United States of America Is the
greatest power on earth, and though on
home issues we may split and fight yet
when our flag Is Insulted, we all rise, the
blue and the grey.hand in hand to resent it

Will Prosecute It. Concerning the-
regents' meeting of the old Corvallis Agri
cultural college held Thursday, says a Cor
vallls dispatch to the Salem Statcsman,CTj
little can be learned, as it was strictly

how that they intended prosecuting their
college case to tne fullest extent

Some communities like individuals are
nat overburdened with modesty. Such is
the character ot some of the counties now
tsking for appropriations from the state to
build wagwn roads. Fell of Morrow wants
10,000 to build a road from Heppner up
to Monument, and yet Morrow pays only
4,1 aa taxes to the state. That cpunty
woutd take back all she pays Into the state
treasury and $6000 paid in by other coun
ties. Crook of Coos wants $14,000 to build
a road out ia Curry, which county pays
SiJSta taxes to the state. Maxwell of Tilla
mook wants $10,000 to build a road in his
county and yet that county pays but $i,aia
state taxes. Hunter of Wallowa wants
$8,000 to build a road up in his country,
and the county he represents pays $3,399
Into the atate treasury Such Is the char
acter of the road bills which are now be-
fore the legislature. - '
That bill of Condon's (House Bill No.
104) to increase the State University tax
from one-tenth to one-seventh ot one mill
and to make tuition free for those who en
ter any of the literary departments of the j
University should be knocked out on the 1
first round. Young gentlemen who tske
advaneed literary courses should not ask
that the tax payers of the state should be
taxed to meet the expense of such course.
Let the bill be defeated.
