THE CKKON-
THB OREGON CONSTI1 VTION.
Permitted to jndge the fata re of the
Oregon assembly by the first four days,
there is eotue prospect that measures
may be adopted to secure needed amed
ments to our foeilized state constitution.
A man of finance who is informed rela
tive to the conditions existing between
Oregon and the now state of Washington,
. will say that it is like passing oat of
darkness into the full light of day' to
ross the Columbia anywhere from As
toria to Wallula, there is such a vast
difference between the two on account of
the circumscribed laws of Oregon as
compared with the more liberal statutes
f Washington. - There are other than
financial reasons for wishing a change
. in the constitution of Oregon, but the
financial reasons will serve tbe purpose
of the preeent illustration.
The document provide that no county
in the state shall incur an indebtedness
exceeding in amount tbe debt of the
county at the time of the adoption of
the constitution and five thousand dol
lars additional. Nearly every county in
the state has violated this constitutional
provision, and some of them, notably
Jackson, Josephine and Klamath, have
violently violated it, Jackson county
ieing now perhaps $160,000 beyond tbe
constitutional limit. . This debt consists
of outstanding, protested county war
rants, drawing interest at the rate of
eight per cent, per annum. Knowing
the provisions of the constitution, the
people have kept on piling up the debt
in these counties by issuing script to be
protested, instead of curtailing expendi
tures or increasing the rate of taxation.
Knowing the provisions of tbe constitu
tion, tbe people of the several counties
have accepted their county's scrip at 100
-cents on the dollar for their services as
jurors and witnesesand public servants ;
. have sold and bought it at from 85 cents
to 98 cents on tbe dollar, and have pro
. ceeded in the matter very much, if not
entirely, as they would ' have done had
the constitution of the state expressly
permitted what it expressly forbids.
The debt in many counties has be
come a grievous burden, and an effort
will be made to lighten it by having the
legislature pass an act enabling the
counties to fund tbe debt at a lower rate
of interest than is now paid upon it.
The leaders in this effort will endeavor
to pass a general act, taking in all the
counties, and in event of failing In this
will endeavor to have certain counties
relieved by special acts. The object
sought is one which must be approved
by everyone.bat whether a- state con
stitution can be retired by the legisla
ture even in enactments which repre
sent objects of unanimous approval is
an interesting and practical question
.that must finally come to a practical test
upon a financial basis, if it pass the leg
islative challenge. - People in the county
do not seem to be afraid of county scrip,
but whether outside capital could be in
duced to invest in county bonds bearing
five or six per cent interest is the real
question, for in the counties which most
need relief from the debt burden there
is no likelihood of local capital gbing
into five or six per cent bonds at this
time. It is very doubtful whether out
aide capital would buy county bonds in
Oregon with the constitution standing
as it does. .
It must be admitted that very many
unconstitutional laws have been passed
in Oregon and other states, and it might
not hurt anything to poke another act
through the same rent in the venerable
fundamental act which the big county
debts have already torn, and then let
the matter go to the money exchange for
settlement ; but the surest way to pro
ceed is to begin a regular amendment of
the constitution. This is slow, but four
years will soon pass by, and when they
have passed we shall ' be able to make
use of the new constitutional provision,
for the debts will still remain with us.
A Washington dispatch today states
that Mr. Blaine passed another unevent
ful night. His physician evaded reply
ing to a question as to whether he con
sidered Blaine in a dying condition, :. by
saying, that he was growing weaker.
The doctor admitted that he had been
.living on stimulants, and that several
times his life had been recalled by the
administration of nitro-glycerine, the
results of which were a surprise to even
tbe physicians. It is quite evident that
Dr. Johnson is very much mystified at
Blaine's wonderful vitality.
Creed Haymond, who for many years
was chief counsel for the Southern Pacific
.railroad company, died in San Francisco
yesterday morning. He has - been very
low for several weeks, and his death was
expected. Haymond was prominent in
State politics, served several terms, in
tbe state legislature, and was a delegate
to the EiUiciKil rep ublicau convection Ir
