The mortgage tax law is again being discussed and it is quite probable that an attempt will be made to have the old law re-enacted. At the time the mort gage tax law waa repealed we' were in favor of ' the course. Theoretically the taxing of mortgages is incorrect, but prac tically it is all right. Provision should be made that the mortgagor should pay the tax out of the interest, which should become a credit on the note and mortgage. It may be said that even should this be done, the mortgagor would' have the tax to pay, because the lender would not give up his money until the arrangement concerning taxes waa made. Theoretically that proposition1 is also true, but put in practice it is false. The money lender in Oregon charges 10 per cent., all the law allows him, and if the money is loaned on farm lands, an additional 10 per cent, is paid in the shape of a ''bonus" by the borrower. Tbe farmer who borrows now pays as a general thing 20 percent, a year interest, or perhaps 21 or 22, as tbe bonus is taken oat in advance. Even at these rates tbe farmer is unable to borrow, most of the time. The money lender will be satisfied with 18 per cent, if the law compels him to be. It may be said that if this is true the farmer under the proposed law would be unable to borrow at all. That might prove true, but if it did it would be a blessing to him. There is no aver age farming business that will pay 10 per cent, a year on the money invested, and it would be a blessing indeed if the farmer could not borrow at all. The time would then soon come when money would accumulate in the hands of the money lender, and interest would come down to a basis that the farmers could use borrowed money. As it is, the farmer who uses borrowed money, pays 10 per cent, interest, 10 per cent, bonus and tbe 2 per cent, taxes is simply on Ma way to bankruptcy. The money lenders, who are willing to lend money for 2 or 3 per cent, on bonds and gilt edged personal security, but who will not lend it on real estate at a reasonable figure, are more responsible for the de pression than tariff, free trade or the demonetization of silver. They are kill ing the goose that lays their eggs, and as the effects of their actions become visi ble they are frightened at themselves, and redouble their efforts to destroy themselves. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. The state of Oregon pays $10,000 for eomethiDg it doesn't get. It pays that amount to the railroad commission, and gets absolutely nothing in return. Dalles Chronicle. If the law creating the commission is repealed, it wiil not be four years before The Chronicle and a lot more papers that now sing tbe same song, will be demanding another commission, or something of a kindred nature. Why, only last week one of The Chronicle's own patrons carried a grievance to tbe commission. If the testimony proves to be what he claims, he will get substantial relief, and speedy. If he had to seek justice in the courts many months would weary the plain tiff. The present law may need amend ments, and probably does, but tbe com mission is a useful tribunal. Hillsboro Independent. This is news to us. If the railroad commission oi tnis state ever dia any thing for anybody we never heard of it Tbe law does need amendments, one of which is to reduce the number of com missioners by three and clerks by one, It may be that one of our patrons carried a grievance to the commission ; if so, it will in the course of time be returned to limwitb. thanks. . The Eugene Guard, in commenting on the death of the czar, says that his sue cessor, Nicholas II, "has a grand oppor- tumty before him in becoming the emancipator of a great nation, if he so desires." Very true; but the sensible ruler will hesitate a long time before he goes into the emancipating business Ancient history is filled with examples of the disastrous results of benefiting the human race, and the pages of eacred history tell the same story. Nor need we go to remote ages to leain the mourn fal fate of the humanitarian and eman cipator. -The grandfather of the present czar freed 11,000,000 of serfs, and died by the hands of an assassin and a sub ject. Our own grand Lincoln- went to heaven with the shackles of 5,000.000 slaves in his hands, his earthly career cat short by an assassin. Dom Pedro allowed bis humane feelings to lead him into giving the 3,000,000 of slaves in Brazil their freedom, and was banished from his country by them. The good Nicholas may have a grand opportunity to benefit humanity, but if he has any regard for himself and Princess Alix be will not try it. The road to Siberia is long and dreary, but Nicholas can choose either to continue to make others travel the road, or by giving token of human ity, travel it himself. . Tomorrow the political fight will be settled, at least tbe first round will be, and from it both the presidential possi bilities in the shape of candidates", and the political complexion of the next ad ministration can be made somewhat certain. Hill has made a magnificent fight in New York, but ' with his party divided it does not seem possible that he can win. With, .new xork lost to the democracy, the chances of victory in '96 will be exceedingly slender. . John Overton, who fled from Portland Some time since, has been traced to the Sandwish Islands. John thinks he is safe, but he forgets that the vulnera ble part of himself, in which the lawyers and the lady are interested his property, is still in Oregon. It is little the parties plaintiff will care whether John ever shows up or not, so long as the means of satisfying a judgment against him re mains. President Cleveland is trying to hedge against the" possible" democratic defeat in New York. He now claims to have lost his residence in that state and is therelore a man without a coun try; He will realize this more fully as the returns come in: tomorrow. ENGLISH HARVEST SONGS. Ditties That Are Sung to Lighten Heavy Labor. When the ricks are thatched, when the labor money is paid, when the plow has turned up the soil carpeted with grass and stubble, and the harvest moon has risen and lived her short but gloriously golden career, then comes the harvest home and the harvest sons'. In England, says the Gentleman's Maga zine, we have the harvest sermon in the village church, the supper in the barn, interspersed with many & ' jest and many a song; and it is of these same songs, so typical, of rustic life?, that I am going to speak. In those conritrics where the vine is cultivator! ' there in co end to the merriment v.'hu;h follows the anxious days of moisr.cr.ng-e. The fruit is gathered, the winepress trod, the vintage bouquets put top-ether cud presented to the ladies connec-ied with, the wine farm, and all the time there is a perfect festival of song1, simple and bright and full of harmony. . In Tuscany, in Franco, in Germany, and in Russia, there are namlicrs of harvesting1 songs, all more or less full of poetry, and instinct with charming melody; therefore we should like to think that our own country is not far behind in this matter of harvest sing ing, although the gleanings are not associated with the romance of the grape. Unfortunately, harvest suppers, and harvest songs with them, are dy ing out, and the sooner we preserve any glamour of characteristic humor or pathos they may have owned the bet ter. As the sailors' chanties were ' used to lighten the labor of hauling and heav ing before the days of the steam winch and patent capstan, so were the har vesters' songs required to help the reapers and the gleanei3 in the times when the sickle had not even given place to 'the broad hook, much less to the machine. The harvest supper was always an occasion for the singing of good, old-fashioned songs, of which each man had his own repertoire, which he gave untiringly year after year. Such standard works as "John Barleycorn," "Carrion Crow," and "The Farmer's Boy" are, or rather were, an indispensable part of the harvest-home 6 upper. Driving Windmills by Electricity. A novel departure has been taken by the Owner of a windmill at Bremen, Germany. Hitherto it has been the custom to use windmills in conjunction with dynamos for the generation of electricity, more especially for lighting purposes, in places remote from a regu lar supply of current, and some most successful installations of this kind have been made. The owner of the German windmill proposes to reverse this process, and instead of making his windmill drive a dynamo he will use an electric motor, connected with the town electric mains, for driving his machinery when a calm prevails. Euda-Pksth avoids trolley accidents by having her electric railroad under ground. .
