BATE OF INTEREST.
Wo nro pleased to see that members
of tho two houses seem generally de
termined to pass somo act which shall
prescribe a lower rate of interest than
has prevailed the last slxtcon years
say 'eight por cent, legal interest in
stead of ten, with ton per cent nermlt
tod on special contract instead of twelvo
por cent. It Ib simply truo that great
enterprises cannot thrive in onr Stnto
when twolvo per cont. interest Is
charged, and Jit is doubtful if any in
dustry or buslnoss in tho Biato will
wnrrar.t payment of such n high rato
of Interest. It is timo wo left tho spec
ulative era of Oregon llfo behind, and
iKigan to do business upon sober and
moderate ideas. The argument is oft
en urged that usury laws aro contrary
to good policy, but tho peoplo of Or
egon do not think so, and wo can easily
reallzo that tho arguments that aro
sound whero capital seeks investment
In groat commercial centers and com
IMitos for eraploymont whero good se
curity Is abundant, need not apply
here, whero tho world Is comparative
ly new, business unformed, and capital
not yet abundant.
In this connection, wo may miggest
the tni iry whether It is advisable in
this Slato, at prcsont, to tax money,
nolon, t nd accounts. Wo must all per
ceive that this spoclcs of assetK Is not
fulrly returned, and wo mustcomoto
the unpleasant conclusion that the
inu"v lender and creditor often evade
tho law. Dues It not then seem almost
useless to attempt toouforco it? Then,
again, wo aro near the grout gold and
jjllvor-produclug region of tho world,
where money Is becoming moro and
more abundant and interest cheaper
each yoar. Money is so cheap there
that tho bouaimi kings invest it in U,
H. -I por cent, bonds, and gilt-edged se
curities get loans for six por cent, or
li'.sH, and wo may well beilovo that if
Wo do not tax capital thatsceks Invest
moni, wo will rocoivo compensation in
tho form of moro abundant capital mid
cheaper money to favor tho producer
and tho manufacturer, and wo will ro
movo tho existing temptation that
causes ho many creditors and monoy
londordto ovudo the law In fact, of
fers a premium for perjury.
ROAD LAW.
Auiuitciulmcnt to oxNtiii,,'roml lawn

ground tnnt Uio oxKthiK law Is In
ionttlvo in many tlbtrietH and tho
rotintry ikhxIs and tOiould havo an tilll

)iuroso of hocunng roo1 roads, which
In a measuro that imrtlculirly eonourns
tho fturalnK imputation who im tlio
roads and havo need of tho best tho
country cuu Afford. It is truo that
road work Is not woll done in many
diHtrK'K while In others jmoiIo take

nimbly to havo road work well dono
by thiwo who owo It, or 0N0 that thoy
l.y Uio money w that tho HiiHrvNors
e.ui employ outside laltor to do It. One
1lnu iroKd is to collect the road tax
in money, as other taxes are collected,
and have tho .same onforc2l by tho
ordinary tax collector. It is claimed
that It would work hardship to havo
to pay money, or iart of money, and
wo hurro-i ,,lUt ,nlH ohjectlo.i can
be obviated by ponnlttluK tho Sopor
vlnOr to employ lalmr and rIvo certlll

which can bo returned to tho tax cob

the preiont law could bo otrectivo if
UmrouKhly enforced, but in many canes
it is not well enforced and this makes
the dllllculty, therefore miiiio change
Is needed to r-eniro greater elllcleney.
AVeMiggest that tho Supervisor secure

nuiy with tho Imposition often inii

Col. Chapman's Bailroad Speech.
Monday affcmoon nt 3:30 o'clock, Col. "W".
W. Cbajiuian delivered an nddresn in tlio Opera
Iloticc, Snlem, against tLo Northern I'ncific
Itnilroad Company, with n full recital and de
nunciation of its plota againat tho government
and tho people, ita schemes to Increase ita land
grant gulmidy and its rcfuflal to pro-rato with
Uio Salt laho road, or allow tho Halt Loko
corjiorAtion to build Uio road from Umatilla to
Portland, Most of tho audienco lurrocd with
Col. Chapman that whichever company won
first wiling and able to build the road west of
Umatilla, should bo allowed to do go, and that
this portion of tho road should be need by both
companies, but they disagreed with him when
he claimed that tho peoplo of Orccon were
unanimous in favor of his bill to aid tho Co
lumbia river and Salt Lako road.
There is u unanimous sentiment in Oregon
favoring tho construction of a road from the
Columbia river to Salt Lako; no doubt of that;
but there was a bottled conviction among many,
probably n majority, that thciti was no cub
stautial monoy-powcr behind tho bill favored
by Col. Chnjiman, for aid to tho Halt Lako road,
that if tho bill could pais as it was framed
there wan no security that thu road would ho
built, but a great probability that thu Halt
Laku feature of tho bill for extension of timo
of Uio Northern Pacific road was intended to in
jure that enterprise, deprive it of n portion of
its laud grnut, and create tho possibility for
tho conutniction of a rival road. It vas be
liuved that these measures were in tho interest
of thu Union and Central Pacific roads, they
aru of course anxious to delay or defeat thu
construction of anv comoeUnc road, which the
Northern Pacific should surely be. Such was
tho feeling of Uio people, who considered that
the surest guoranteo thoy could havo for tho
construction of a railroad to tho Kant 'was the
fact thnt tho Northern l'aciflu road wai welt
commenced, and had a laud-grant that will af
ford asiistancu in continuing thu road.
Many of tho facto stated concerning tho in
trigucs and maneuvers of tho N, P. It. It. Co,
may lie true, and Col. Chapman may have
Iecu earnest and mucero in his eH'ort, but that
docs not alter Uio comparative value of tho two
enterprise1). Wo want the Northern Pacific
road liccatu'o vtu need it1 and recognize itai tho
Mutest mentis of connection with the outiido
world, not becauso wo approve or countenance
tho Nvhemcii aud eiToits of its projectors.
