WttW flwraHfc ?t& FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 2!, 1882. Entered at the Postoffiee at Corvallis, Oregon, as second-class matter. -EDITED HY- M. S. WOODCOCK, ATTORNEY AT LAW. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR 8ENT0N COudTY, LAW FOR LOANING SCHOOL FUND SHOULD BE AMENDED. The law under which the common school fund of the state has berti loaned for some years past requires the security given to be real estate and of three time" the value ot the money loaned exclusive of perishable improvements and that interest there on shall be charged at the rate of ten percent, per annum. During the last two years foreign companies have rushed money into the state to loan, charging therefor from S to (J percent interest, and in the majority of cases loaning to the extent of one half the value of real estate. This relaxation of rules by such companies has made it difficult to at all times loan the school fund for the rate of interest required by law, and also t get the security to equal in value three times the amount of the loan. As parties would generally borrow where they could upon the most rea sonable terms which has had the effect much of the time to prevent a a great deal of school money from being loaned, thereby loosing to the rapport of the schools considerable interest. The present law under which school loans are being made should certainly be amended so as to at least give the board of school commissioners discretionary power to loan for not less than 8 per cent, with real estate security of not less than twice the cash value of the amount loaned exclusive o! perish able improvements. That amount of value for the security is ample if those who make the loans exercise due care, and if they do not exercise the proper care they would be just as likely to make loans poorly secur ed no matter what the restrictions were as to the value of security. With the amendments suggested no difficulty will be experienced in keep ing the school fund loaned upon good security. THE INFAMOUS SCHOOL BOOK LAW. THAT ENDOWMENT PROPOSITION. The proposition of Mr. Villard to endow the Oregon Stale University with $50,000, coming as it does at this particular lime, and heard of the first time when the legislature is in session, and also at a lime when Mi Villard is constructing various lines through the state, the future profits of which depend much, upon the action of the legislature in regard lo those enterprises, certainly comes at a time to be regarded with but little favor by those who have thoirght seriously of the disposition of railroad monop olies to over reach the people's rights. While it is the desire of every citizen ot Oregon, having the true interests of the state at heart, to wish all of our educational institu tions prosperity and have all the financial aid possible lo get, under all circumstances consistent with the public god, yet there is certainly Done of our people who like to see institutions of this kind placed under improper or injudicious obligations to those money powers whose inter ests tend to the oppression of I he people. Our educational institutions under the theory of our republican government are for the purpose of perpetuating our posterity and Amer ican institutions free from oppression - and in accordance with American ideas of a free and independent oov ernment. In order lo do so effectu ally our educational interests, the .only safeguard of that freedom and independence, should certainly be kept aloof and entirely free from the influences of those extensive railroad interests, the corrupt influences of which to-day are doing more lo an , d ermine and overturn our republican institutions than any other. Al though our state is young and her .institutions of learning have to con tend with financial difficulties, yet it is much better that our state by tax ation or some way within her own means, provide financial measures necessary for the support ot her in stitutions of learning rather ihan to accept such an unholy proposition as the One under consideration. Snail it be Repealed? Many people are looking forward to the action of the present legisla ture quite anxiously to learn whether or not they wili lake any steps in the direction of expunging from our statute books the infamous school book law. For the last several years during the' numerous political. cam paigns this question has been thor oughly canvassed and in some man ner embodied in most of the county platforms In the last republican county platform tor this county a plank was therein inserted demand ing "the unconditional repeal of that law." At the same time the demo cratic ptatform bad a clause announc ing that said school book law should be amended. The effect of such law ever since the passage in the first in stance has been lo compel! the par ents of poor children to be continually buying books of different kinds in order that they might have the kind to conform with the uniform series when they had already got school books and also when the parents were hardly able to board and clothe such children during the time they were going to school. Another effect it has had in many instances was to prevent many children of poor par ents from going to school when they found they were not able to supply the legalized kind of books The fact of adopting certain specified kinds of books by an act of the legis lalure has also induced companies who made them to put in a poor class of material, making the mechanical part of the book so poor that many of the books would, wi ll the care or dinariry exercised by many school children, fall lo pieces in a Very few weeks, thus necessitating the pur chase of new bonus. The class of books used in Oregon before such law was passed was much better made mechanically. And the mat ter which they contained, in many instances, was better. The benefits of such a law is to permit some large company to legally rob the people ttnd also to favor school teachers who are more noted for laziness than en ergy and ability in teaching. A school teacher who cannot teach from any book placed before him is unworthy of the name and would make a better ploughman or an axe man than a school teacher, in the item of laziness did not interfere. To amend the present law would c t idditional burden upon the people in requiring them to purchase such new books as the amendment required. Every lime it is amended causes an additional burden to the people and attorns an opportunity ior dook companies to make another steal from the patrons of schools. Th amendment of the law only means to perpetuate the burden upon the peo ple from time to eternity. The man who lakes part in legisla tion to prevent or thro- obstacles around our system of free schools is an enemy to 'our free republican institutions. The Benton county re publican members of the legislature and many others from other parts ol the state, are pledged to "the uncon ditional repeal of the present, school bood fraud" and time will tell whel ti er that appreciable good to the peo ple shall be accomplished or not, or whether the loby in the interests of the sale of the books can longer pre vent the people's will from being accomplished. then yonder, then they vanish away to be superseded by a freak of furious ravings he laughs, he sings, he cries, he then mutters in broken accents to himself!, and thm suddenly with a spring he starts to his feet, and with clenched fist strikes the wall, and stepping back he butts his maddened brain against the walls, and finally exhausted he sinks to his knee and falls on his back exhausted, to rest a moment only to repeat this agonizing scene until relieved by death. This is madness self made madness made under the sanction ot law through the license system in ait enlightened age, in a christian go . eminent, in the name ot linerty, because "we have a rifrht to choosr what we shall wear, eai and drink." The victim of such an exercise of his liberties, as to make himself mad, insane self made insanity at that, which takes hold upon the pit, it would h.ve been better for him if he had never bei n'born. PlIOIIIRITION. If the time lor holding the legisla ture was changed to commence .tbout the first or middle ot January it would be more convenient for many members to attend. Farmers, mer chants, mechanics and in fact nearlv every das of business men who might in future be tlected to thai iiody, could attend more convenient ly and satisfactory to themselves am! with lei- damage lo their Ims'iics interests at the time suggested. Tie present legislature should change i lie time. The lime for holding the session .if the supreme court of the Slate should be changed lo about the fbsi of January and August of each year. The time as at present appointed is very inconvenient, for attorneys who reside at a distance from the capital oecause Hie tune tor holding the cir cuit conns in several of the districts come during the time the supreme court is in session and thereby they are prevented from attending their cases at one or other of the courts. The change suggested would greatly relieve such difficulty. The American Agriculturist is much im proved in the way of material mechanical work and the matter which it contains is much enlarged for October. Parties wish ing to suhsciihe can get the Agriculturist and Gazette for one year for ?3 50 in ad vance. ' The very modest proposition to gain in finence with the legislature by endowing the State University with 850,000 in the event that that body will vote to that institution $5,000 per annum has been submitted, since which it has been slumbering for a time in the hands of a committee. It will be in order for that committee to consider what favors in the way of legislation oi non-action the party from whom the proposition comes will ." ':' ask at the hands of the legisla f-rt DELISHTM TREMENS. Intemperance dethrones the mind. Look at the haggard, marred and shameless drunkard, when with the delirium tremens. Pen cannot des cribe, tongue cmnot tell, and no painter can paint the terrors that haunt the visions of the victim of de lirium tremens. He imagines that fiends are filling his room, hanging on the walls, dropping from the ceil ings, dancing in the air, and that h is marching through the streets ol' hell with dranons, with eyes of roll ing fire, and nostrels of wheezing flame, in whose sulphurous wake an army of hob-golilings hover, and next he fancies serpents aie Iwisted around his throat choakiug him, then they twine about his legs aiul body with their cold slimy bodies, with jagged barbs tipped with venom and with opened mouth and forked tongue, lliey strike their poisoned fangs mid their horrid his sing, inlo his quivering flesh, while great beads of cold sweat bathe his ihrobing brow and agitated frame. Next he imagines vermin are in his lied, on bis person, creeping over him; insects infest the ail, strange sounds salute h's ears; he hears the songs of (lemons, the cry of murder greets him, and in his deranged vision he sees crowds of men lurking in the covering of darkness, plotting to take his life, Tiiey aro here and Jersey City, Sept. 23.

A curious rumor is afloat this evening which is neither affirm ed nor denied at the department of justice, that a bill has been presented by the hotel keeper who entertained the star route jury for over 500 and that part of the charges was for 30 bottles of wine. The jurors have always dt Died they had liquor of any sort. A special agent of the department of justice said to-day these bribery charges in the star route case were the oddest he ever knew.

The employes of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company have surveyed the route through, and taken possession of Burnt River canyon, and are at work all along thwdiue from Baker city to Snake river. jjAs this is the only available pass, this action, it is supposed, is to prevent the Oregon Short Line from reaching Baker City. Under the new lnw of measurement the Queen of the Pacific has a tonnage of 1,672 tons. Passengers who came up on that vessel are not extraordinarily loud in their praises of her sailing qualities. We under stand that on her return trip she will be given all she can carry as soon as she gets outside to see what she can do between here and San Francisco. Articles of Incorporation of "The Astoria Gaslight company" were drawn up last evening, and the enterprise is now in shape to go ahead.
