THE MORTGAGE TAX.
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gage tax law waa repealed we' were in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. .
