4 SUGGESTION.
We have always been thankful that
success or defeat never wiped the Dem
ocratic party out of existence. We
have been thankful that notwithstand
ing the Waterloo it has encountered,
the principles which it espouses have
been so dear to its leaders, so precious
all abuses where they are known to
exist and suggest 'Treasures of reform,
im erder that the burden of supporting
and the benefits derived from the gov
ernment may be " equal and 'just to all
- citizens. " j-
That a very grave j abuse I exists in
eur revenue law1 which operates unjust
ly against all the agricultural portions
of the State, in favor of Portland, frem
' the fact that mortgages are not taxed
in the county where the land is situa
ted and the mortgage recorded, is so
apparent that it 'needs no' argument
from us to demonstrate.' Whilst the
legal title remains in the mortgagor
the mortgagee owns just such ah inter
est in the property, as the mortgage
debt bears to the actual value "of" the
farm, and this is recognized by the rev
enue laws of the State when it allows
the indebtedness 4educted from the as
sessment The injustice of exempting
the land and mortgage debt in ' this
county where the land is sitdated, and
allowing the tax to be collected in the
. cities where the banking and money
institutions are owned and operated,
becomes so apparent where a large
proportion of the land (as is the case
in this county) is mortgaged to its as
sessed value, that no one can gainsay
it. An examination of the county
records will disclose the fact that here
in Douglas county the land is mort
gaged above one-fourth the entire as
sessed value of all property, and the
mortgages owned by banking J and
' money-loan associations, controlled and
operated in the city of Portland. Here
we have, under our unjust system of
taxation, one-fourth at least of tbo en
tire property paying direct tribute-to
Pertland, while less than three-fourths
bears the entire burden of taxation
here. , Every solvent person, whose
property is assessed for more than his
Indebtedness, has to pay at least one
fourth moie in taxes than he would
therwise have to do, while the farm
cf his impecunious neighbor, which re
ceives equal benefits and protection
frem the laws, is exempt from all share
in supperting the same and pays its
tribute directly to the city of Portland.
party became dearer to its adherents.
But alas it belongs to the young State
of Oregon for the party leaders to7 ad
vise and openly espouse a course incon
sistent with our principles and so dis
honorable as to scarcely have a parallel
in history. The leading Demociatic
journal of the Statej for probably a few
dollars, advocates the cause of a Re
publican bigamist, a humbug, a lobby
ist, a machine politician; for United
btates Senator. A distinguished Deui
ocratic State Senator asserts that he
will vote for the same individual. The
Democrats in the Legislature should
tote for a pure, consistent, intelligent
Democrat for Senator, and a man everv
way worthy of the compliment, worthy
to be considered the leader of the De
mocracy of Oregon, and whose pure,
spotless public and private life are in
strong contrast with Hippie Mitchell,
is the Hon. W. D Fenton, of Yam
hill. Let the Democratic Legislators
vote for such a man and let the Re
publicans elect Mitchell, if they wish,
and then see which party would stand
higher in the public opinion. - .

The death of Pitzer Smith, which we
publish elsewhere in our columns, is
the direct result of criminal negligence
on the part of the Railroad Company,
in the manner in which the road and
railroad are constructed at the point
where the accident occurred. Thm
Company has taken the old military
and county road at thia point for tb
railroad, and, under an agreement with
the old board of County Commission-
el's, agreed to build and construct a
good and safe road wherever they ap
propriated the county road. At this
point, where the road makes a sLort
curve, a point or strata of rock pro
trades from the hillside and the Com
pany, instead of making a legal road
have cut a narrow track over this ride
or point of rock, barely wide enough
tor a team to pass over, whilst the rail
road is cut through the rock with al
most a perpendicular wall, twelve or
fifteen feet below. The way the coun
ty road is constructed there ia quite a
short raise in going south before reach-
