CORVALLIS, OREGON, APR. 11, 1895.
BLAME RIGHTLY PLACED.
In Monday's issue of the Times atten
tion is called to the fact that Benton
county has an outstanding indebtedness
of 45,oco and that her total delinqnent
list now aggregates 154,327, all of which
is nnquestioably true. The article in
question is prefaced with the statement:
"Laying aside the profligate waste of
public funds in state affairs that is the
chief cause of high taxes, there is another
condition at our own doors that hampers
the real taxpayer.'
Although the foregoing reads well and
sounds nicely, it is grossly misleading.
For the year 1893 the total levy for Cor
vallis amounted to 26 mills, and for 1894
it was 24X mills, apportioned as follows:
State purposes, 3' mills; county, 8 mills;
schools, 4 mills; city, 7 mills; school
district No. 9, special tax, 2 mills. Thus
it is plain to be seen that the chief cause
for high taxes was not "the profligate
waste of public funds in state affairs," as
' Is claimed by the Times. If the affairs
of taxpayers hare been mismanaged it is
in Benton county where the fault lies and
here is where the remedy should be ap
plied. This being'true, let us see who are to
blame. The mayor, police judge, night
watchman, chief of police and treasurer,
of Corvallis are all democrats. There
are two justices of the peace in Corvallis
precinct, who are both democrats. The
sheriff for ten years past has been a dem
ocrat A democrat has held the office of
clerk for nearly a year, and a democratic
recorder has been in office for nearly
three years. The school clerk and two
members of the school board are demo
crats. Prior to last July the county
school superintendent was a democrat
One of the commissioners and the assess
or are also of the same political faith,
and right here is where the shoe pinches.
This is part of the history which the
Times withheld. For years and years
this county has been assessed by demo
, crats, and it is a notorious fact that dur
ing much of that time, especially prior
to 1893, the rolls have been made up in
such a careless, slip-shod manner that the
enforcement of collections was out of
the question. Prior to 1892 the delin-
quent'taxes aggregated something like
$80,000. This vast sum was reduced by
the county court to $22,661, or about
three-fourths of the original amount
Nearly all of this. $60,000 was thrown out
' imply on account of imperfect deserip
bons of the property assessed. The
Times well knows that the court has
refrained from issuing the sheriff a war
rant for the collection of delinquent
"taxes, because of the incompetent work
of democratic assessors, which has made
their collection by legal means impracti
cable. During the last three or four
years delinquents have been coaxed to
pay up, and many of them have done so,
but a major portion of the tax remains
unpaid, and probably always will.
There is no disputing the fact, however,
that taxpayers should be given a certain
time in which to pay their taxes, and as
soon as such period elapsed, the delin
quent roll should be turned over to the
sheriff with instructions to force- collec-
"tlons. It is most unfair and unjust to
the prompt taxpayer to have the time ex
tended to others from month to month
nd from year to year. When taxes are
duo they should be paid promptly, but
owing to the procedure of the past few
.years, the willing taxpayer has "caught
on" until duns and even threats have no
effect upon him. A system that encour
ages and even pays a premium for tardi
ness inlthe payment of taxes, ought not
to be tolerated. If one is required to
pay within a certain period, none should
escape. Leniency and sentimentality
ought not to effect our officials in the dis
charge of their dnty. Taxes must be
paid, and should be paid promptly. If
they are not so paid the burden of the
prompt taxpayer is increased.
Of course, the Times did not intend to
leave the bars down in telling "Where
the trouble lies." Nevertheless, it did so,
and must suffer the consequences. As
nearly every official in both the city and
county is a democrat, and have been for
years past, all charges of mismanagement
or extravagances must be borne by the
party of which the Times is the mouth
piece. The unfortunate and costly ex
perience we have had with incompetent
democratic assessors will, no doubt, have
the beneficial effect of bringing about
a changed condition of affairs in 1896.
One of ths most cheering signs of the
times is the growth of protection senti
ment in the south. It foreshadows the
early and absolute triumpth of the pro
tective idea and the complete disappear
ance of the Tariff agitation, with all its
harassing effects upon the country's busi
ness. For nearly 30 years after the found
ing of our government the tariff was not
a party question. It did not become a
party question until slavery forced it to
become one; and now that slavery has
vanished there is no reason why the fool
ish and ruinous "tariff reform" agitation,
which it first gave rise to, should not
bear it company into the limbo of un
sound political economic doctrines.
The Demorest Magazine thinks that
people always apply the name of "she"
to a city, because every city has outskirts.
WILLING PROSPERITY.
The Oregbnian has taken the right
course in its endeavor to bring about our
wonted prosperity. That paper has invi
ted a large number of influential citizens
of the state to express, through its col
umns, their views as to the proper remedy
for our present condition. It has pub
lished many of these letters already, and
it would be well if they were read by
every thinking citizen of Oregon. They
are full of wise suggestions, axe clear and
terse in expression and on the whole,
their tone is very hopefnl. Such men as
D. P. Thompson, A. Bush, W. W. Thayer,
Wallis Nash, Sylvester Pennoyer, S. May
and the others who have contributed, are
not wont to waste words in mere specula
tive theories; they are practical men and
give practical suggestions.
Probably nothing will bring about
what we call, in homely conversation,
"good times," as the feeling that such a
condition is not far distant We need to
cultivate that feeling. Confidence is the
backbone of prosperity. The main trou
ble with us is that we have lost our ' 'grip.
We have become bewildered by the cry
of "hard times," until we fancy we are
in deep water, when, in fact we are with
in wading distance of the shore. What
we need is to inspire each other with
courage and wade out
In some ways the experience of the
present is a blessing, and a needed lesson
for the future. There is an old Missouri
motto, "you can't eat an apple and have
it" We as individuals, as municipali- j
ties, as counties or as a state, can not
throw our money into all sorts of extrav
agances forever. The state is not oper
ated by money rained down from heaven.
The taxpayer must finally furnish every
dollar that is either recklessly or wiseiy
spent by the state, as well as for his own
bread and butter. Mr. Bush bluntly
points out that our governmental system
throughout from the smallest cities up
to the general state, reeks with extrava
gance. The whole system of course
must be put upon an economical basis,
and it will be done.
It is high time for us to quit sitting
around in despair and crying out so stren
uously, "hard times !" We must take
our fists out of our eyes and put them to
the plow, throw off our sackcloth and
don overalls. Energy and determination
will remove mountains. There is pros
perity in the very word "will." Foreign
capital will have confidence in us when
we have confidence in ourselves. Our
dejected countenances have driven money
and moneyed men away from our door.
Let us work and whistle and be contented
and hard times are gone.
Astoria has at lasf decidedly favorable
prospects for her railroad. The subsidy
committee and Mr. Hammond have come
to an amicable agreement, and the latter
expects to begin work on the Goble road
by the first of June. Astoria has been
trifled with so long by pretended capital
ists that probably no man of lesser finan
cial standing than Mr. Hammond could
gain and hold their confidence. - The
state as well as Astoria is to be congrat
ulated that , that gentleman has taken
hold of the enterprise as in no state in
the Union is there any railroad work be
ing done. Mr. Hammond attempted to
interest New York capitalists in the As
toria project, bnt did not succeed. Capi
tal fights. shy of such investments. Mr.
Hammond, however, has taken up the
proposition individually.
Oregon City people are attempting
to have the state teachers' association
meet the Willamette valley chatauqua
association at Gladstone park during the
coming summer. It is not a feasible
proposition. The teachers' association
has a work to accomplish peculiar to it
self. It would be swallowed up in the
other association and be practically of no
value to the teachers as teachers. State
Superintendent Irwin has already named
the place for holding the next state insti
tute, and he is not likely to change it
Ths farmers of the United States
should put on their thinking caps, and
study the following1 statistics: During
the seven months ending with January,
our exports of breadstuff's were valued at
$66,809,533, a decrease of forty-five mil
lions. The value of our exports of wheat
declined from $43,867,768 to $26,997,136,
of our corn from $18,033,867 to $5,216,591,
and of our wheat flour from $43,956,200
to $31,878,933. That is the) way the dem
ocracy is carrying out its promise to ob
tain "the markets of th world" for our
farmers.
On Good Friday next, April 12, accord
ing to' the astronomers, the heavenly
bodies which- gravitate around the sun
will be in exactly the same position they
occupied in the firmament the day Christ
was crucified, and it will be the first time
such a thing has occurred since that great
day.
IT is said that one-third of all the busi
ness failures which occurred in the United
States last year, were caused by lack of
capital. So long as men endeavor to run
enterprises on wind, instead of cash, this
proportion will doubtless be fully main
tained.
In January the government received
$27,804,399 and paid out $34,523,447- Iu
the seven months ended with January
the receipts were $187,193,857, and the
disbursements were $221,475,027. The
excess of expenditures was more than
thirty-four millions. This is the result
of democratic incapacity to manage the
national finances.
Thb National Advertiser concludes
that an advertisement in a paper that
contains the news, and as a result is read
by an intelligent class of people is the
best salesman a merchant can have.
OVER $50,000,000 are spent annually in
maintaining churches' in this Christian
land, and $400,000,000 in running the
jails.
IMMORAL M0RALWAVE.
There is considerable immorality in
the so-called moral wave now sweeping
over Portland. As long as the police had
a harvest in the forced tribute from the
fallen women, those unfortunates were
unmolested. Now that public sentiment
has made such business too dangerous to
be profitable, the highly moral officers of
the law have suddenly discovered that'
the demi-monde are plentiful in Portland.
Wholesale arrests are the consequence.
What these women are expected to do to
keep the breath in their bodies has not
been announced. One Portland minister
advises them to jump into the Willam
ette. One thing strikes the average man
why is not so very moral and who knows
anything about physiology is this: That
it takes two to trade; these women are not
their own patrons. If they have been
indulging in immoral conduct men equal
ly as guilty are abundant in Portland.
Law should show no favoritism. Hence
the one-sided arrests find few supporters
among humane citizens. It looks as
though the Portland police is attempting
to kill the goose that no longer lays the
golden egg.
This agitation revives the discussion as
to whether or not houses of prostitution
should be licensed. All endeavors to stamp
out the evil by legal means has signally
failed. If it will perforce exist there
seems to be no reason, outside of a maw
kish sentimentality that refuses to recog
nize actual conditions, why such places
should not be under proper police and
medical control. If those houses can
not be abolished and no one has as yet
found a way to accomplish this it is cer
tainly better for the morals of the commu
nity that the law should restrict their dis
tance to certain localities. The idea of
license is not agreeable to sensative
minds, but it would seem to be folly to
let the evil ran rampant. 1 Some things
that can not be eradicated can be placed
under subjection.
In his letter to the Oregonian, Mr.
Wallis Nash maintains that the cutting
up of our large tracts of land into small
farms will pave our road to returning
prosperity. Mr. Nash is a close and intel
ligent observer, and he shows wherein
these large tracts of land, so common in
Oregon, hinders the development of the
state. Probably there is nothing so
commonly criticised by intelligent visi
tors as the fault which Mr. Nash aludes
to.
So long as the railroad commission
exists it will be a constant reminder ot
the perfidy which characterized the
Dolph-Simon combination in the senate
throughout the last legislative session,
That combination is alone responsible
for its existance.
