The flortgage Tax Law.
The i ret bill of the session to revive in
some shape the mortgage-tax law is that
of Senator Toibert Carter, of Benton and
Lincoln counties. It provides that all
mortgages, Iseds ol trait, contracts or
other obligations whereby land or real
property situated in this state is made se-
with such deb:, 'shall, for the purpose of
assessment and taxation, be deemed and
treated as load or real property. All
inorigigis, djedsof trust, contracts or
other obligations whereby land or real
property is made security for the pay
ment of debt, together with eu;b debt,
shall be assessed and taxed io the owner
ol snch security and debt in the county,
city or district in which the land affected
by suih security is situated. A debt se- i
cured by land or real property situated!
in no mere than one county in this state ,
shall, for the purpose of taxation, be
deemed and considered as an indebted'
ness. and the person or persons owing
such debt ebal! be entitled to deduct the
amount actually owing on such debt on
the first day of July of each year, as ap
pears on record in hk county, from his
or their assessment.
Losing His Grip.
Ve fear Bro. Pgue is losing his grip
on the weather. His forecasts daring
the pas.t week hare been wide of the
mark, o far as Roseburg i3 concerned,
and unless he does better in the near
future we will lose confidence in our
Oregon weather prophet. Monday last
he stated that rain cr enow would fall in
Western Oregon. Tuesday the storm
was too far south, but Mr. Pagus thought
that by Thursday it "would be far enough
north to cause precipitation in Oregon."
Wednesday "the storm's center appeared
to be off the Columbia," and "continued
snow or rain mav be exwected." Thure
day "the EtormVIcentcr appeared to be at
Boseburg," but nevertheless on Friday
the storm hsd been forced out to sea just
about the same time its center was envel
oping Rosebnrg. However, on Saturday
Mr. Pague fortunately ascertained that
"there is a most unsettled condition of
tho weather prevailing." Tho only in
formation Itoseburg people have of an
nnseUIod condition of tho weather has
been Mr. Paguo's prognostications. Durr
ing the past week the weather in tho
TJmpqua valley has been all that could
ba desired. During much of the time
the sun has shone brightly, while tho air
has been balmy and spring-like. Last
night there was a heavy frost, but so far
as tho writer ii able to asceitain there
aro no signs of rain or snow. Mr.
Pagus'a prognostications were probably
intended for the storm raging iu and
about the state's capitol.

ADDRESSES BY TWO GOVERNORS.
Able
Documents Worthy of fluch
Consideration.
Governor Lord's inaugral address was
Indeed a scholarly effort. After a fow
introductory remarko he launched forth
and paid a just tiibuto to Ihe rteuinces of
tho state, tlnn gavo tho iidiunal udmin
istraUo.i a sidu wipe, and then urged
upon the members of tho legislature the
necessity of economy. He said that
where all classes are it behooves tne leg
islative body, upon which rests the au
thority to levy taxes and direct the ex
penditures of tho public moneys, to make
no appropriation ot thorn oxcept it bo lor
a public purposo and its necessity be
clearly shown, and to withhold all ap
propriations which will bear delay, or
can be postponed, in order that the
burdens of the people may not bo un
necessarily increased and their property
subjected to a tax lien to defray ueedlesj
public expenditures. It is not only de
sirable that economy should characterize
all your appropriations, but at the pres
ent time it is absolutely indispensible to
tho public welfare. No good citizen will
find fault with a public expenditure
which is esicntiul to tho public service,
but all will feel aggrieved, and have a
right to complain, when tho expenditure
authorized is unnecessary or extravagant.
Ho said that abuses, if any have grown
up, must be unmasked and extirpated
root and branch. No department of
state, nor any of its institutions, is too
sacred to invade with the view of ascer
taining its condition, its needs, its prac
tices, whether good or bad.
Tho governor pointed ont tho necessity
of amending our assessment and taxation
laws, and strongly recommended that
tho present legislature revise our tax
laws.
Ho referred to the state penitentiary
and the necessity of furnishing the con
victs with some kind of employment.
Governor Lord also suggested tnat the
legieiaiurc const ier wnettier such a
change in the , statutes is desirable as
would enable the state to transport her
own convicts from the jails to tho peni
tentiary through her own agency connec
ted with the penitentiary management.
I'nder existing laws, the sheriffs deliver
the convicts to the penitentiary authori
ties, and th s cost for each convict brought
to tho prison is thought to bo largely in
excess of what it would cost for the
warden to send a guard for such con
victs. This mothod of conveying con
victs to the penitentiary, and others
uased on Minilar suggestions, have bten
adopted in several states and resulted in
benefit and advantage to the taxpayer.
And the eamo suggestion is made in re
gard to persons committed to the asylum.
Tho governor continues: "In my
judgmen t, oco of the greatest dangers
that menaces honest labor is the indis
criminate immigration now inundating
our country. To the poor and oppressed
of other lands our coa utry offers an asy
lum, but this invitation dews not include
the corrupt and vicious, the pauera and
the criminal classes, nor those worse
still who uso its freedom to work its de
struction. Wo cannot afford that our
country shall be the dumping ground lor
the degraded nnd socialistic classes of
other nations. This evil is upon us, and
unless remedied sooner or later, wo shall
feel its contaminating influence upon our
national life in disturbing the conditions
that surround labor and that are essen
tial to its independence) and prosperity,
and in endangering the health and safely
of the people and the welfare of the re
public. The people ought to make them
selves heard upon this subject in tones
so distinct as to cause their representa
tives to heed their demand for legislation
which shall exclude from our shores this
vicious and dangerous class of immigra
tion.
Tho governor is cf the opinion that
there is no necessity for maintaining a
large militia organization, and thinks the
present force should to reduced. He
favors suitable appropriations for the
several schools of tho state. In regard
to public roads, the governor says
"There is not a doubt that our road laws
havo failed to accomplish, in a satisfac
tory manner, the object of their enact
ment. The system created by them is
defective and needs thorough revision.
I own I have no plan for correcting their
defects, but I Euggest to you, who are in
telligent men of experience in practical
affairs, to take tho matter into consider
ation and endeavor to eolve some sys
tem which shall remedy their defects
and secure better roads for the traveling
public. As tho question of good roadi is
a matter now mu-.h discussed, you can
acquire much useful information in re
gard to them through pamphlets which
have been published and circulated
with the view of suggesting the best
method of improving and building good
roads."
"Tho business of tho supreme court is
iucresing so rapidly that it will soon be
oouio impossible for tho judges to keep
lace with it, and properly perform their
duties. With the aid of their oflMent
stouographor, they havo kept tlm work
from accumulating as rapidly as it other
wise would, and aro now only behind in
the hearing of cases some two or three
months. But in tho nature of things, it
it cannot bo long before their docket will
bo crowded with cases, causing much de
lay, vexation, and expense, before their
final adjudication. In anticipation of
this condition of things, an amendment
was passed by tho last legislature which
will bo submitted to you, proposing an
increase of two in theniiinberof supremo
judges, Upon this proposed aniondment
I shall loaye you to act as your best
judgment dictates. What I wish to sug
gest is that in my opinion appeals in
civil cases might he considerably limited,
aud the business of the court largely de
creased, by granting them only where
tho judgement rendered exceeds two
hundred and fifty dolla'8, unless such
judgment involves matters affecting
lands, public revenue, or Iho vialruct
ion of tho cons'. imipq of tho Stato and
the United States. Upon examination
I think it will be found (hat a larso num
ber of caaesi involve sums of less than
two hundred and fifty doi'sts, and in
many instances, tho object in. appealing
theso cases is tu Obtain delay, or to
gratify a bed feeliug between Iho parties
litigant.
"The mode o cleetluu railwsy com
missioner, as some other officers, by tho
legislature, is wrong and of doubtful
validity, although sanctioned by custom
and sustained by bouio judicial preced
ents. Tho power to appoint to an oflico
ought to bo lodged in tho people or their
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTE PURE
executive Such a power is not legisla
tive, nor should it be exercised by the
legislature except iu tho appointment of
officers for its own Jbody. Every Btatuto
which vests such power in the legislature
ought to be amended in this regard, and
lodged in the people or their executive.
Such a change is needed in our statutes
to save your valuable time for legislative
service, to do away with trades and com
binations to advance political fortunes,
and to put nn end to the disgraceful
scenes that sometimes characterize the
scramble for legislative appointments to
office.
"Bills for the appropriation of the
public moneys ought to be submitted to
you early in the session so as to afford
opportunity or the inemberB to carefully
examine aud pass upon them, and not
bo left to the hurried consideration that
marks the closing scenes. The custom
of including in one bill appropriations
of the public moneys for every conceiv
able purpose, general and special, is
thorougly vicious, and ought not to be
countenanced. There are certain fixed
charges and liabilities for the support of
the state government for which specific
appropriations might be embodied in one
bill, but in all other cases the bill ought
not to include appropriations for more
than one object. In other words, no
bill appropriating public revenue, except
as stated, should contain an appropria
tion for more thau one object. By adopt
ing this mclhod, every appropriation
must stand or fall upon its own merits ;
there will be afforded the executive an
opportunity to interpose any objection
that he may have to the appropriation
without delaying tho passage of appropri
ations that are unobjectionable or merit
orious, and thus put iu practice the wite
principle incorporated in the constitu
tioas of some states, which allows the
executive to yeto single items or appro
priations in a general appropriation bill.
"The rule that every measure should
stand ou its own merits is too apparent
for discussion, but in nn case is the rea
son for its application more manifest
than in the consideration of hills appro
priating the public revenue to be raised
by taxat ion."
Governor Pennoycr ha s vacated the
gubernatorial chair, but he left behind
him a farewell in the form of a message
that is deeply graven on the tablet mem
orial. He calls attention to the growing
expenditures of the state and recom
mends such legislation as will effect a
material reduction. He presents figures
showing that tho state -expenditures for
the IS39 -OOterin aggregated f 1,071,123.36,
while those for 1393-34 reached the enor
mous total of J1.820.26S.57 an increase
in ill keeping with the limes. Though
jhe state has advanced during this time
he cost of govern raent has set too brisk
a pace and the governor suggests, a3 he
has several times repeated, that the time
to call a halt is the ever-present now.
Concerning lieu lauds his ideas are iu
the main correct. He says:
"In the Cascade reservation there are
about 200,000 acres embraced in sections
16 and 36 for which the state is entitled
to that amount of lieu land, which may
be selected from the best portions of the
public domain. The price of school
lands, under tho law, is $1.25 per acre,
and as these lieu lands are really worth
more, I have steadily refused to allow
one single acre of school Iand in that
reservation to be used as a basis for lieu
lands until the legislature can change
the price of such lands to $2.50 per acre.
If this change is made, about 1250,000
will go into the school fund, which
amount, if tho law is not changed, will
go into the pockets of speculators,"
Concerning the pardoning power and
in defense of his penchant for emptying
the state prison he says:
"Some criticism has been made in re
gard to the exercise of tho pardoning
power and it has been asserted that such
power should nat exist. That power is
the highest aud most necessary preroga
tive in a civilized goverment. If couits
and juries were infallible there would be
no necessity for its exercise, but so long
as they are not infallible, so long there
is an absolute necessity for the lodgment
somewhere of that very necessary power.
In tho great majority of the cases in
which I have exercised executive clem
ency, aside from those earning time as
trusties, it has been upon the recommen
dation of the judge, jury, or prosecuting
attorney. I have endeavored in all cases
to exercise that high prerogative consci
entiously and without any regaid what
ever for newspaper cavil or popular
clamor."
And in this connection it might bo re
marked that in tho exerciso of this power
Governor Pennoyer enjoyed ono of the
greatest satisfactions in his career as
chief executive, lie said it gave him
pleasure to return to their freedom men
whom he believed to bo innocent or
whose punishment ho adjdged to havo
been sufficient. The pardon mill's oper
ation will cvor remain a p!oasant thought
in the governor's memory. r r

Failed to Connect.
There was only one man with sand
enough in his craw to bay a railroad at
the recent sale of the Oregon Pacific, and
the reason why there wasn't more is ex
plained in a story afloat that inns thus:
Three very richj Englishmen wera en
route to Corvallis from London to buy
the road, and at S:. Louisthey stopped
off with an eye open for an investment.
As they loitered there $50,030 in county
and city warrants were offered them
and they raked them in. Then they put
on their overcoats to take the train for
Corvallis, to'pocket the O. P. when a tel
ephone message informed them that their
warrants were bogus. This unwelcome
news so disgusted them with American
securities that thoy took the next train
for London, and in consequence the O.
P. and its creditors longed in vain for
more than one bidder, and the Bentnn
county sheriff knocked the road dawn
for a beggarly $100,C00. It is indesd a
sad, sad tale. Corvallis Times.
