THIS YEAR'S LEGISLATIVE FAIL-
;".'.'.- URE.
No man .was mote responsible
for the failure of measures in 'the
last legislature to relieve the; peo
ple thai?;: Governor Xrd-:.He
- assisted the combine
that 'held up' ' the legislature.
: For continuation during
at least two years more of the
abuses and excesses of which
the people complain, no man,
therefore, was more" responsible
than the governor of the state.
The;i5cretary;of state took
ailfiadingf -part in..theisame en
terprise, seeking-i through it the
continuance of. the large? uncon
stitutional iiloTuinents"oi'-tiis of
fice, which the platform on which
he .had. been elected .had pledged
his party to abolish.' Thus -the
combination " Hit the- legislature
included the opposition
and the perpetuation of all the
grossest abuses of officialism that
oppress the people. :. : With the
aid of the officials who stand at
the head of the state govern
mens, it succeeded ja all its pur
poses. The result is that dur
ing these two years there are
drawn from a tax-burdened, peo
pie immense sums, "from the, pay
ment of winch they ought to
have been relieved by the legis
lature. Oregonian. '
ADMISSIONS OF' DEFENDANT.
A crowd of office-holders from
Portland, and of friends and de
Dcndents of office-holders, has
been at Salem for "weeks
to defeat the bills' for the reduc
tion of salaries, fees,: emoluments
and taxes. ? The gang is
supplied with money, .'wrung by
its system of "working things"
from the taxpayers . . to de
feat the efforts of the represent
atives of the people for retrench
ment and reform. It is a. shame
less proceeding. " "
It is supported by the spirit of
faction m the -legislature, that
- Mias prevented the .election 01 a
senator these many weeks. Of
ficial greed has made its" combi
nation with this spirit of faction,
and the result is this successful
conspiracy. It will damn every
man connected with it, now and
hereafter. And then the
' question may be whether any
candidate' calling himself a re
publican will be believed ; when
ne says he is in favor of reducr
tion, economy and retrenchment
Wny, indeed, snouia sucn men
be believed after this shameful
betrayal? . ' This time there Vwere
the most positive pledges, attest
ed by the most earnest vows.
Now they are broken. . Perfidy
so outrageous may not expect ne
penthe, but Nemesis. From the
oppressed taxpayers is drawn the
money that is distributed at the
capital of the state to continue
official profligacy and prevent re
duction of taxation. - :. How long
can it be supposed the people will
stand it? Oregonian.
The coquetry ; of Governor
Iord and Secretary Kincaid with
those who have carried the prac-
. r t' t . . . -
uces 01 .nignwaymea.-.inio tne
legislature continues; but it is
less open and more cautious.
The people of Oregon elected
these two men to their present
positions in the expectation that
thev .would - occupy - these posi
tions and perform their appoint
ed duties. Yet there has been
an intrigue, with their, consent,
it not witn tneir active encour
agement, during - the, past two
months, to demoralize the legis
lature and "hold up" the sena
torial election . till the time
should come when Iord might
perhaps be made senator and
Kincaid could 'succeed him as
governor.. .. This . accounts . for
the action of at least leight. Mem
bers of - the -legislature." The
supposition that the Lane coun
ty -delegation, and members of
the Marion county " delegation
could act as they , do., without the
connivance of Governor Ird
and Secretary Kincaid may do
for - those who know nothing
about practical politics. But
such a pretense will mislead no
others.- Oregonian. --'
Without. ; . the , populists
and democrats, the Lord-Kin
caid conspiracy never had the
slightest chance of success.
If Mr. Lord and Mr
Kincaid were riot;; to bg ; satisfied
with the' offices that" were given
them," .: . they ought - not to
have asked for them. It. was
their doings, in large degree,
that, demoralized the legislature.

THE STATE AND INTEREST.
Paternalism in a government
tends to make weaklings of its
citizens. .Protection is the pur
pose of good government, but
this means protection against the
wrongful acts of others. No
safe government can undertake
to make amends to its citizens
for their own folly, indolence or
ignorance,.
It is often difficult to deter
mine where wise protection ends
and paternalism begins. The
question of state interference in
the matter of interest rates - for
the use of money is a case in
point Of course, no one dis
putes the right of the state to
fix the rate of interest where
there is no expressed agreement,
but when the government under
takes to limit the rate of interest
at which parties may agree to
loan or borrow, money, the opin
ions of statesmen differ. Much
may be said on both sides.
Gov. Daniel W. Jones, (dem
ociat) of Arkansas, sets forth in
his message to the legislature, the
best reasons that can be advanced,
probably, on behalf of state in-
tenerence. - tie says:
"I recommend that an amend
meut be submitted to the peo
pie providing that - no ' contract
for a greater rate of interest than
6 oer centum Def annuni', made
after the adoption of , this amend
ment, shall be enforced by any
court in this state, . and that this
shall apply to all contracts
thereafter made in this state, re
gardless of the place of payment,
and that all laws of the state
upon the subject? of usury shall
thereafter be without force or ef
fect.
"Our state is eminently an ag
ricultural one. The iarmer is
our principal wealth-producer.
Upon his , p;r6sperity depends
that of the state. '. Our legisla
tion should, be: directed and
shaped in his interest, and no
law of the state should be con
tinued in force when found to be
detrimental to him. Like other
business men, he must some
times borrow money to carry on
his operations, and he should
not be required to pay a rate of
interest which leaves no margin
for profit to himself. No agn
cultural industry Jean afford to
pay more thair& pt pent, for the
use of mduev fa-fact, that is
the limit 6f ' thyalue of money
for any iegililctate " business in
our state, t&ZpBgt- greater rate
ought to be allowed to be con
tracted for. The-borrower be
ing thus protected, the lender
should have equal . protection.
He ought, in all equity and good
conscience, to have the protec
tion of the laws to recover back
his money with interest not- ex
ceeding this lawful rate. . Usury
laws, such as we have, whereby
the lerfder loses not only his interest,-
batt'his -.mcfiiey also, are
unjuskar unreasonable. ' More
over,F.they inyite: .perjury and are
demoralizing, an'4 . corrupting in
their Tende'ncy. ! The very fact
of their existence' renders it diffi
cult to lower the rate of interest,"
because of the extra, hazard in
curred in lending money.
"There are honest men who
do not agree with me, but they
will be found chiefly among the
money-lenders. They can, how
ever, take care of themselves,
having the means to do so. But
legislation of this character is in
tended to protect those whose
necessities require the borrowing
of money for the purposes of
carrying, -on legitimate business
pursuits, and who : are, on that
account, subjected to the cupid
ity of avarice. The money
lender is a useful citizen, but he
adds nothing to : the material
wealth of the country. He
ought to be content with a rea
sonable accretion to his surplus
in the way of interest, especially
when the laws are such' as to
make that certain to him. But
a money-borrower in ari ' agricul
tural country like ours is a
wealth-producer, and he should
be the favored one of the law, at
least to the extent of being pro
tected against having to pay un
reasonable interest upon the mon
ey he must borrow to produce
that wealth. ' - -
"Instead of driving money
out of the state, as some "may
contend, I believe it will have
the opposite effect But 'wheth
er the one or the other effect is
produced, I am quite certain
that it is not to the interest; of
our people to 7- pay more . than 6
per cent for the use of money,
and that their interests will be
best subserved by keeping out of
the state all money which is of
greater value than this." -

and drill a company of infantry,
at the least, so that in the event
of war, he would be prepared to
hold a commission m ' the volun-
teers, or in the national guard

The military instruction at. t he
Oregon Agricultural College is mi i
der the charge ot Lieutenant (J.
E. Deutler, 11th U. S. Infantry,
and the splendid showing made by
the cadets, when on dress parade
or at battalion drill, is due to his
painstaking, methods and thorough
instructiori. -As a d sciplinarian,
lie is certainly a success. lie
possesses the happy faculty, wlncii
uiifc-rtuuately cannot be sanl oi
all army officers, of being linn
without being overbearing, ofbe
ing strict without, being abusive,
and of commanding the respect
of his officers and men without
losing his dignity.
Lieut. Dentler has seen thirteen
vears 6 actual service, having
spent the greater portion of that
time on the - frontier. During all
that ions period, his daily duties
have included the drilling and
management of troops, and he is,
therefore, well equipped for the
duties required ot him in his pres
eiit position. In 1884 he gradu
ated from West Point with honors
and was immediately assigned to
the 6th infantry, with which regi
ment he served seven years, when
he was transferred to the 11th in
fantry, in which he still holds his
commission! As " a reward for
long and faithful service, he was
assigned by tlio department of war
to ms present) position as instruc
tor ot military science at the Or
egon Agricultural College for a
period of four years. He arrived
here-February 14th, 1894, and en
tered immediately upon the dis
charge of his duties. "- Some time
next year another assignment will
be made by the department, when
Lieutenant Deutler will return to
his regiment. '
