THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. .TOXICS KDITOlt, . City and County Official Paper. r- : - Thursday, Juno 20, 1880. -- JSDITOKIAIj notes. Tin: present law of .Indiana allows mrties to have as few men on a iurv as they please. One man will do if they can ncroo on him. This is get- x tfng rid of a great deal that was objee- tionablo in tho jury law, and if it works i :e ; well there, wo may expect to sbo it in troduced elsewhere. In time they may do away even with one juror and have courts based on a principle of ar bitration. Justice is something tho world has tried to compass for, thous ands of years and it has often boon true that the moro justice a ihau paid for tho less ho got. lit VJJUiUIB JRAIUUTJ. B 1 JTIS JI5 Sow: mkm havo an idea because "business is business," that much of the politeness of lifo is to bo dropped an soon as they touch their oflico chair or their store door closes them in. In other words they seem to act, "Now look out for mo T am your friend in a social way, but I'll skin you alive if you havo anything to do with mo in a business way." It is very true that "business is business," and any man who useu the fact of any friendly social relaxation to advance his own ends at tho expense of yours should bo "tired." This is no excuse for your cold illntt tured behavior and boorishness. A gentleman is a gentleman inside his placo of businc.Ms as well as out of it. iwi vj-jjjjiiumiji.imjwmf Nhxt YKAit every farmor in the Uni ted .States will bo visited by a paid and accredited olllccr of tlio government and asked to givo statistics of his farm, crops, stock, otc, for tho previous year that is tho year 1881). Tho sugges tion has been made that in order to be prepared to givo the census laker ac curate information, farmers should be gin now to keep account of all farm operations and keep it up through tho year. In this way only can tlio agri cultural statistics of tho census report bo nuulo to havo any practical value. Keep an accurate record of the num ber of bushels of all kinds of grain raised, of hay and root crops, of butler and cheese, also of cattle, sheep and hogs, not forgetting chickens and eggs. Attention to theso details will niako up a good showing for our county. Wh notice that several men, who owe moro or less money, are disposing of thoir property to their wives or somo other relativo. This is not a safo pro ceeding, as those sales can and will be set aside for fraud. Courts of justice will not countonanco such dishonest attempts to defraud creditors, and have rendered decisions adversely to that kind of business. Tho court of appeals of Maryland has also recently decided that in caso of property hold by a woman tho ' proof must always bo at hand that it was paid for out of her own money, and if that is not furnished it is taken for granted that tho husband furnished tho purchaso money. Tnis decision has caused consternation there, as it involves titles to ono-thinl of tho proporty in tho state and leaves that property all liable for tho debts of tho husband. Good lawyers hold that this decision has foundation in common law and is applicable to all the states.

Tho latter, in a loiter acknowledg ing receipt of tho book, said : I do not believe it is possible lo ea tablish institutions that will bo perma nent based upon the votes of tho people counted by tho head. That proceeds upon tho supposition Unit the rich and tho poor, tho wUo and tho ignorant, tho virtuous and tho vicious are all counted as equal and endowed with equal political power. That is tho fatal vice of your institutions that Jefferson founded. Now, your country can pre sper so long as you have great spaces of unoccupied land; a great AVtfst for your surplus popula tion; hut tho time will como in your history when New Kngland will bu an thickly populated as Old Kngland; when (hero will be no moro fertile, un occupied land for your expanding popu lation.

Tho commission baa in its report another suggestion oven more Valuable. It is that if the railroads can (afford to pay commissions on tickets gold, they can afford to lower their prices by just the amount thus paid, and, the com mission has accordingly had a hearing on tho subject, and may probably mako a ruling that the roajfls mast re duce rates in proportion. IIbv. Edward EveheSt Hale, in The Cosmopolitan, write in favor of a compulsory life insurance for every body. The plan is ffor mon and women alike, as soon fe they are old enough to work for ft lining, to begin to pay the stato an annual insurance foe. ( The payment woulji continuo up to the time the payer was 65 yours old, then he could retire on his pension and live without work tno remaindor of his days, if his payments bad been large enough. At any rate he would rcocive a regular fixed amount, which would prevent hia becoming a public burden Tlio state would nvest tho funds paid in, aim got retusns trom tnom.as pn vato insurince companies do at present. ThcnJ is in Germany a law requiring the inuuranco of the lives of factory operatives. Thoro is also a compulsory accident insurance in which all Germans are included. Those laws wcro favorite incisures with Bismarck. TAXATION. Tlio systAni of taxation appears to bo badly inuddlod in Oregon. Tho figures of the last assessment roll of this Klalo show that Multnomah coun ty only returns ? 1,585,055 under the heading "money, notes and accounts," etc., while Umatilla shows nearly a quartor million moro, Yamhill only a about ono quarter million let-s, and Wasco county $850,000. Thoro nio very fow who do not believe that Port land has a larger valuation than this with till her banks and capitalists; but it lessens her proportion of State taxes, and throws this burden on other places. Jf the same system of valua tion was followed in tho different coun ties of Oregon, snys Tho Dalles-Times Mountaineer, tho levy would havo to bo increased materially to mako up tho necessary amount of Mate ex penses. This is all wrong, and some method should bo pursued to cqualixo valuation. Wo understand that twelve counties in tho State returned a less valuation of property JUist year than tho one provious, and hardly anyone will believe that there has been any docroaso in property in tho last few years; but on the contrary a largo increase. There is something radical ly wrong in all this, and there should bo some kind of system adopted by nil tibsotisors. Where there is an unequal valuation thoro must bu injustice done lo goino taxpayers, Tmmmmmmmtmmmmmmm no juouk co.nritoraisE. Mr. Kamuel J. Kaiulull thinks the domocmtR can secure the next presi dent ami the next House, If they cau "gel togother." The traitorous NV York Hun takes this up and urges, the "getting together," CM courao this moans the abandonment, by the groat majority of democrats, of their princi ples, and going over to tho Randall minority. It means tho sacrifice of tho cause of tho people in order to gain the support of the plutocrats. Wo desire no such mooess u t but. Tho democratic party conceded ul- ; together too much last year altogeth er too much in the Mills lull. That bill was only a slight uU p in the riyht direction. We might as well take tho whole step and plant our.-ohvt. .square ly on, tlio right ground at once, and light thenC win or lo- ; :uid that ground is: the utter ! tni' tion of tho "protection" r:'i ry.

It expresses our sentiments exactly. No compromise of any kind should be made but an aggressive and unrelent ing warfare should be kept up until the Hight prevails. The unparalleled robbery of the people under the guise of a protective tariff must be stopped and it is tho work of the democratic party to slop it. If tho party falters or goes back on the principles onunci atod during the last campaign, Tin: SCOUT, for one, will have no more use for it. Oregon Tlmlior. "8ix hundred and sovenly-four years oldl" gasped tho judge, and ho dropped his torch to the ground. "My God ! these trees were older than the landing of Columbus, older than Magna Ohartit, older than tho first translation of tho bible into English, and last week they stood with a thousand years of lifo ahead of them, and these loggers of Knuppa havo leveled them to tho earth with ns little sense of what they aro doing as tho Vandals had when thoy overturned the immortal sculp tures of Koine,- and trampled the triumphs of art under the hoofs of thoir chargers 1 It is simply brutal. But tho trees will have long and sure revenge. Boston would givo a mill-' ion of dollars to have two such trees, growthful and strong, with six cen turios of growth and ten centuries of lifo ahead of them, on her common." From an eastern letter.
