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

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

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
