As long as this situation continues the
appropriations and expenditures should
be held down rigidly to the smallest

The "Horseless Age.'
The iccomlng of the New Year brings
. . 1
as usual new tnougbts, ana natural
enough comes a retrospect of the past,
-an inventory of the present, and a new
or firmer set purpose for the future.
We have watched the rising and re
ceding lines of industry through these
years of adversity, and actuated by duty
toward our patrons, we will at this time
call attention to one of the meet neglec
ted tbe horse.
The people have had their ride out ou
the bicycle, their knee pants and sweat
ers are hung away in the closets. The
California air ship lies out behind a
little clump of trees near Oroville with
its prow stack in the mad, tbe result of
its last trial, while the faithful old horse
so recently condemned to oblivion, still
plods iato town with pork, wheat, milk
and chickens.
It now looks as though the old friend
that bas carried man through all the
battles lor existence and freedom is yet
to stay. A great deal has been written
of late about tbe horseless age, and we
are sorry to say that some newspapers
of influence.have not only given space to
such senseless articles but have given
vent through the pen to misled brains that
might have directed their patrons in lines
of prosperity and usefulness, instead of
distrust and discontent. These influen
ces, coupled with depreciated values and
a reduced earning capacity, has led tbe
people to not only abandon hoisa-breed-ing
entirely for the last four years, but
to destroy and neglect what they had,
which is a loss of untold thoueaada to
the country. Horses are selling again
at boom prices in the eastern auction
rings. John K. Gentry brought $19,500
and an undeveloped 2 year old $4
500 and all classes of work and driving
horses comparitavely high. Tbe old
world is now coming to us for norsee and
each season brings a large increase of
our exportatioos .
It may easily be seen that with the
death rate and no breeding will lead to
the greatest horse famloe ever seen, and
exceedingly high prices will prevail, un
less the country can do without them.
As it takes six Tears to produce a horse
for usefulness, which will be tbe year
1903, it is our opinion that breeding must
be commenced again soon, that a nation
al calamity may be averted. In corrob
oration of our opinion we Quote the fol
lowing from the Breeder and Sportsman
of California.
"Through the competition of bicycle
and trolleys a scarcity of horses has been
created in the local market, the effect
of which has been, within the past
month or eo, to largely increase the
prices of all draft and work horses. It
was not so loag that farmers were bring
ing their horses to the local sale yards
and practically giving theu! away. There
was no demand for them and the very
best were sold for almost nothing. Bat
now the reaction bas set in, and tbe re
sult is that people in San Francisco in
need of wotk horses cap notseenre them
unless they pay fancy prices, and even
then the animals they purchase are not
the California product, being shipped
here from Oregon and Arizona The
most recent illustration of this was had
at tbe Presidio. Tbe government needed
horses for the cavalry service, and in
accordance witn army regulation Chief
Quartermaster Colonel A. c. Kimball
advertised for seal proposals for sound
well-bred young horses, and incorpora
ted tbe stipulation that preference
would be given to horses bred in Calif
ornia. No response whatever was re
ceived from California breeders, and
only a few came in from some local deal
ers. In addition, tbe prices asked were
four times as high as those which ac
companied the bids of several years ago,
and tbe government had to abandon tbe
idea of securing California bred horses,
and tbe animals required were purchased
in Southern Oregon. The price paid
was $133.50 per head. Horses are scarce
in Oregon, too, but tbe abandonment of
horse breeding has not been eo extensive
there as in this state. Colonel Kimball
has issued an announcement that twen
ty-three more horses are required at tbe
Presidio, and it is understood that these,
too, will bays to be purchased in Oregon,
or possibly in Arizona. W.
Some Needed Legislation.
In vie of tbe near approach to tbe
biennial session of the state legislature
it is very proper to consider candidly
some of the legislation which the state
of Oregon needs.
Tbe mortgage tax law should be re-
enacted. This is being proven as plain
a proposition as the nose 01 a horse's
face and needs no props. The boasted
advantages to arise from tbe repeal of
tbe law never materialized. On the con
trary Oregon has lost a tax it is as much
entitled to as that 00 a farm or stock of
merchandise.
All indebtedness should be taken out
from assessment, and a man should pay
taxes on what he owns and not on what
he owes
The stockholders in a corporation
should be made individually responsible
for its debts and not merely the unpaid
stock as now. Tbe protection of tho
creditor class demands this.
The rate of interest should be lowered
to a figure that will be just to lenJer and
borrower.
The railroad commission, state board
of equalization, game warden, attorney
general, and a few other useless appen
dices, should be abolished. Aad there
should be no new commissions.
The office of district attorney should
be abolished and couoty attorneys elect
ed at a salary in keeping with tje busi
ceaa.
All justice court cases should be tried
in the district where the offense is com
mitted, or in the adjoining district, or if
tried by any other justice it should be
1D lbe precinct were ttieorJense was
committed.
There are fourteen circuit judges in
Oregon. While the efficiency of the ser
vice should not be impaired it is eaid to
be a fact that the" business could be well
attended to by eight or nine. Tbe state
should be put iu districts so as to corer
the field with a less number than now.
There should be precinct assessors.
A Jaw should be passed making it pos
sible to amend the charter of a city
without the pre-ent red tape and expen
sive proceeding.
A tramp law should be passed of a
strict charactet, making it impossible
for one to run the blockade.
A maximum freight law is needed, one
tbat will give the producer some of the
returns for bis products.
These are some cases of needed legis
lation tbat come to our mind. Others
no doubt will be suggested to the Demo
cbat before the convening of the legisla
ture. It is probab'e that nearly every law
suggested will be fought by the Portland
ring, who will take their customary
course for defeating them by refusing to
"upport the pet roeMurM of different
1 members unless they consent to the ring
dictation. Every honorable member Is
appealed to to rise above the back
scratching ring methods of past legisla
tures, which have been the means o'
putting several bad laws on our bookt'
and of defeating many good ones.

1 of each year.
The reenactinent of the mortgage tax
iaw should be made an issue from the
drop of the hammer on the meeting ol
