D U T Y OF T H E L E G IS L A T I K E
On next Monday the Legislature
of Oregon meets for the purpose of
making laws for the benefit of our
State and its citizens, and it is to be
hoped that our legislators will take
for their motto—“ the greatest good
to the greatest number, and justice
to all,” and that they will not let sec­
tionalism or political motives govern
them in their action. There are sev­
eral laws that are demanded by the
people, that will greatly tend to their
welfare and prosperity, and will also
be great agents in inducing immi
gration to our State. We have heard
the members from this portion of the
State express their views in relation
to various laws to be passed and re­
forms that were needed in others, in
all which we heartily agreed; but in
this article we will only have space
to mention some two or three of the
most important of these needful
laws, and first we will begin with the
H o m e s t e a d Law.
We, almost every week, receive
letters from persons in the East who
wish to emigrate to Oregon, asking
questions in relation to our laws,
schools, taxes, &c., and in almost ev­
ery instance the first question asked
is—“ What is your Homestead Law?”
When we inform them we have none,
this puts an end to their desire to
make Oregon their future home.
There is not another State or Terri­
tory on the Pacific coast, and we do
not now remember another State in
the Union, but what have a liberal
and just Homestead Law upon iis
statute books, except Oregon, and
the want of such a law here has done
as much or more-tban any other one
cause to retard the settlement, pros­
perity and growth of our State. It
is an acknowledged and conceded
fact that there is no wrong in the
granting of a Homestead to the har­
dy and industrious settler in the
East, and in our sister Pacific States,
and if this be the case, how much
more important and just it is that we
here should make the same provis­
ions for the present and future wel­
fare and prosperity of our people.
An act of this kind would encourage
the poor man to cultivate, improve
and beautify his little piece of land
or town lots, and would thereby en­
hance the value of his own property
as well as that by which he is sur­
rounded; and such a law would be a
great inducement to those seeking
home, to cast their lot among us.
Such a law is dictated by humanity
as well as by justice, and can work
an injury to none. The States of
Cu-iifornia and Nevada considered an
act of this kind of such vital import­
ance to their future prosperity that
they provided as follows in their
. constitutions: “ That the legislature
shall protect, by law, from forced
sale, a certain portion of the home­
stead and other property of all heads
of families.” Let the legislature lim­
it the value of all homesteads, wheth­
er a farm or town property, to a cer­
tain amount, say from three thousand
to five thousand dollars, or even less,
if they think best, but we think that
three thousand dollars low enough.
In Idaho Territory they allow a
homestead worth three thousand dol
lars, aud in California and Nevada
worth five thousand dollars. We of
Oregon can certainly afford to be as
liberal to our own people, as are the
States of California and Nevada to
theirs. Again, we need a law pro­
tecting and abowing women to act as
S o le T r a ile r s .
take the hard earnings'nf his wife to
pay his debts, and she cannot help
herself—this is not right, neither
justice or humanity will or can sus­
tain fhis state of things in any civil­
ized community. We are not a wo­
man’s rights advocate, but we do be­
lieve that women do and ought to
have certain rights, and for the good
of society and the community, they
should be protected, by law, in those
rights. Let there be a Sole Trader
Act passed, properly guarded, and
then our ambitious, smart and ener­
getic women will have an incentive
to work, and some security that their
hard earnings will not betaken from
her to pay the debts, in a great many
instances, to pay the debts of a worth­
less husband, and of him who ought
to be tbe mainstay and support of the
wife and family. Other States have
such laws, and they work an immense
sight of good, and in no instance can
a law of this kind, properly guarded,
do harm to any. Next in order is
the enactment of some law looking
to the immediate and direct aid of the
P o r t l a n d , D a lle s a n d S a lt L a k e R a il
R oad.
.The people of the State, and espe­
cially of Eastern Oregon, demand
that the utmost aid that possibly can
be given to this great and important
enterprise*and that that ail be in the
most direct manner. The legislature
will be asked to guarantee the inter­
est on one million of the bonds of the
Railroad Company, or in other words,
to pay interest to the amount of fifty
thousand dollars per year, on the
Company’s bonds, for a certain num­
ber of years. Some say to do this it
will create a debt, such as is pro­
hibited by. our Constitution—with
such we beg to differ and will give
our reasons for so differing. At the
present time it is said we are taxed
enough to pay what we have to pay.
We grant this, but would the pay­
ing of fifty thousand dollars interest
on the bonds of this roau make our
taxes any higher? We say not, and
will give our reasons for so saying.
As things are now in Eastern Ore­
gon not one acre in one thousand is
occupied, owned or improved, but
let the completion of this road be
assured, and ten times, and we think
twenty times as much land will be
cultivated before the read is com­
pleted as is now cultivated and oth­
er improvements in proportion will
keep pace with our agricultural in­
terests, and thus the additional tax­
able property fostered into existence
by this road will of itself, at the
same rates of taxes that the people
are now paying, pay the fifty thous­
and dollars a year, and taking into
consideration the increase in value
of property in the State, and especi
ally in Eastern Oregon, occasioned
by the building of this road, we will
see that instead of the paying of the
Fifty thousand dollars a year inter­
est on the bonds of this road in­
creasing our taxes it will be the
means of decreasing them, and that,
too, from the very time the building
of the road is assured; and the State
does not have to pay any interest un­
til six months after the bonds are
negotiated and the work on the road
is commenced. Instead of the taxa­
ble property of Eastern Oregon be­
ing only about three million it will
be ten or fifteen or may be twenty
million by the time the road is com
pleted to the eastern State line. It
will give an impetus to our inines
and our mining interests and will
bring us capital for the working of
our rich Gold and Silver Quartz
Ledges that will never seek them
unless this road is built. It will
give the whole State a quick, sure
and cheap means of travel and trans.
portation to and over the great trans
continental railway, that in no other
wayxand by no other route can we
obtain. The people of the whole
State ask and demand that the State
aid this road, and they are in favor
of and will sustain their Representa­
tives in voting at least fifty thousand
dollars a year interest on the bonds
of this road, for on this measure de­
pends the future prosperity of the
whole State.

ernor of Oregon has received the
following.letter, and as the readiest
way to meet the wishes of his corres­
pondent, has ordered its publication:
