'3 Itefused to Pay Taxes.
The Central Facific Railroad Company
refuse to py its taxes in the State cf
b California. CThe reason alleged for the
refusal is thai the Government lias an in
teiet in the road and therefore it cannol
be "taxed. ThU Is a sorry plea. It is
without eense or Justice. The govern-"
merit's Interest in the road is that of a
second mortgage. As the first mortgage
eovers the value of the road, the (Joveii
inpnt's real in?c rest is just about notldnj:
at all. Uesi les, the road has been aided
by tlie State of California. While the
Company is refusing to pay its taxes,
ttie State is paying S lOo.biid unnualiy on
the Company's bonds. The refusal to
pny taxes under such circumstances is
about the meanest tiling yet reported. The
case will go to the Courts. JJalulin.
And Ben. Ilolladay refuses to
pay his taxes in Clackamas county,
"with not even tlie plea that tlie
Government has an interest in tlie
roadiior even a second mortgage,
and the meanness of the refusal is
only equaled by the fraud practiced
on the people of" this county last
year, in getting his road assessed
at the sum of 2,100 for a distance
of 22 miles. Last year Mr. Ilolla
day refused to pay the taxes on the
valuation madurby the assessor, and
tha County Court set aside the
assessment made, and ordered the
Sheriff to make a new one, which
he did, and brought the value of j
the road down to tlie above hgurc.
This vear, the Assessor regarded
it best to allow the Hoard of Equal
ization to appraise the road, which
oard is composed of the County
Judge, Clerk and Assessor. They
valued it at the' sum of $7,500 per
mile, and as he has found it impossi
ble to get a change of valuation as
lie did last year, he proposes to ap
peal to the Court?, for which pur
, pose a restraining ordeivhas been
issued by .Judge Upton. "We learn
that the objections to the payment
of the. tax is based on the ground
that the road is valued too high.
The present owner of the road got
$25,000 per mile for building it
through this county. Xow if it is
worth $25,000 per mile to build a
road, withjthe right of way added,
it certainly ought to be worth
7,500 after it was constructed.
The similarity of meanness between
the Union Pacific in California and
the Oregon and California is com
pleto, with the per centage for
meanness in favor of the latter. II
we wistakc not, the Union Pacific
road in California is taxed at a
higher figure than the Oregon road.
The railroad ring have heretofore
managed to get away with the peo
ple of this county, and it is to be
hoped that this time they may be
compelled to pay their just propor
tion of taxes. The refusal to pay
taxes on the road through this
county at the of $7,500 per mile is
about as mean a thiag as the case
cited above by the organ which i
appears to be as a general thing
s: the advocate and defender of the
railroad.
Let Us Have Light.
"NVould it not be well for Con
gress to examine into the matter
of owr National Ranks, and show
to the people whether that infamous
measure was not forced upon the
country bv money and stockholders
in Congress? We know that one
Senator from Oregon has a large
interest in on'e of these institutions
he helped to create, and we are of
the opinion that there are other in
that body who are similarly inter
ested. Is it any worse for a Con
gressman to steal the people's
rnoWyby means of a Credit Mobil-
ier than by a favored? system of
banking? Let there be an investi
gation into this matter, and we
have no doubtcthat this pet of the
Radical party in power will be
found to be the oil spring of self
inteiested Congressmen, out of
which they have realized millions
of dollars. The Credit Mobilier
fraud is but o small item in the
dealings of Congressmen, and

goes on yjth its work investigating

A Disgraceful Congress.
An exchange, in reviewing the
Credit Mobilier subject, sums up
the matter about as follows : The
Credit Mobilier exposure shows a
lamentable condition of public
morals. The pretence that mem
bers of Congress had a right to
deal in the stock of the Credit
Mobilier the best defence yet
put forward in behalf of the accus
ed Congressmen, and it falls to the
ground at the slightest touch.
Admitting the speculative rights
of Congressmen, which at best are
questionable, it is plain that no
honorable and conscientious man
would speculate in the stocks of a
company formed to defraud the
government. The hasty and
swef-pmg denials of the men who
speculated m it show that these
persons felt their actions to be dis
honorable, and entirely dispose of
the hollow pretence of Oakes Ames
when he affects to regard these
transactions as just and proper.
A frank and free statement of the
case would have followed the con
sciousness of innocence, but instead
there has been much equivocation
and some apparently unmistakable
falshoods. The cases of Patterson,
Colfax, Kelley and Garfield are
especial!' inexcusable, and de
mand a swift and terrible retribu
tion. Their offences are not offen
ces to be readily forgiven or easily
forgotten. An honest iurv could
not fail to convict them on the tes
timony adduced. Why, then,
should an honest Congress fail to
punish them ? The country should
demand this of Congress and the
Republican party, and there is no
way to evade the duty. If this
duty is not performed without fear
and without favor the result will
be tlie dissolution of the party in
power and the punishment of all
who withhold punishment from the
guilty.
The question of the hour, then,
is, simply, What shall be the action
of Congress? The necessity of the
punishment is apparent, and its
character is the only thing to be
determined. This ought to prove
no very difficult problem. The
American people recognize a dif
ference in the guilt of the accused
persons, and consequently there
ought to be a difference in their
retribution.
As regards the Congressmen who
have admitted their dealings in the
slock of tlie Credit Mobilier the
country will be satisfied with their
resignations. This, much, at least,
is due from them to the constitu
ents whom they have misrepresent
ed. Anything short of it will not
satisfy the people.
This punishment may seem se
vere to tlie men who yielded to the
tcmidr.tlons of Oakes Ames; but,
with propriety, it cannot be allow
ed to passed with less severitv.
rEM . . 1 - . . -. .... .
i no oilier eui!H'M.i(.-ii im- j
per
sons who have made their offences
more heinious by denying them
can be adequately punished only
by expulsion. Perhaps, so far as
the popular estimate fit all of these
men is concerned, neither resigna
tion nor expulsion will add to their
disgrace. Their downfall is irre
trievable, even though the' should
continue in Congress for two years
huver. Their countrymen can no
longer regard them with respect.
Their constituents can no longer
be deceived with the idea that they
are honoring themselves in honor
ing them. Tlie future ? black be
fore llieiri, even without this last
sign of a nation's wrath. The
resignation and expulsion of these
unfaithful public servants is neces
sary only because it is the oniv fit
ting expression of a nation's wrath.
As regards the case of Senator
Patterson, we have no suggest ions
to offer, lie is the worst of offend
ers worse, if possible, even, than
Vice President Colfax; but he is
beyond any national punishment.
The Senate of the United States,
as it is now composed, cannot be
asked to do any great act of na
tional justice. A man like Har
lan could not be expected to vote
for the condemnation of his asso
ciate. To give Harlan an oonor-
; tunity ot voting tor his associate's
I a,VT ,iU:l1 wouM be only adding one
disgrace to another. Pomerov and

Cwuvvell ought not to have it m

! na'or. Other men in the Semite !
I 1 1 , m. .
are eqauy uutUteU by their own
acts or by the grave imputations
winch have been nretcrred against
them to take upon ilu niseires to
be the judges of others. If it
to
were otherwise, and the Senate
were as wise and good and pure as
it has been in times past, there
would not only imt be a ouestion
of this kind, but Patterson's fate !
would have been decided before !
now. Tite charges against hitn
would not have gone unchallenged, I
and ho. would have been onicklv j
tried and as quickly punished. 1
Xor would Col lax have had the !
temerity to have piesided over a j
body among whose presiding ot'i- i
cers" are named some of the best i
and greatest names in the history j
of Che Republic. Impeachment I
for him would be equally fruitless; I
for, though the House of Repre
sentatives would make the charges,
the Senate alone can pass upon
them. Just now the Senate is not
a jury which will do honor to the
country in the trial of offenders,
and it is better that the cases which
cannot be tried by a body whose
members arc so unworthy should
be committed to the courts, and
determined as similar cases would
be determined if the alleged offend
ers were not men of high official
position.
Tlie Governor Endorsed.
The Puget Sound J)i--utch has
the following endorsement of the
(lovernor's protest to the Modoc
Peace Commission : The General
Government having ordered a sus
pension of hostilities against the
Modoc Indians, and appointed a
Peace Commission to treat with
the view of complying with their
demand for a cession of lands of
their own selection in the Stale of
Oregon, .s a reservation for their
own exclusive use, under Govern
ment subsidy and protection, whieh
would necessitate the remov
al of white settlers, citizens of the
State, and secure to the murderers
and robbers of many white citizens
of the State amnesty for their man
ifold crimes, Governor Grover has
issued a firm and well considered
proclamation against this Federal
invasion of State authority and
superceding of State laws relating
solely to the protection of life
and property of citizens of th?
State against domestic violence1.
In this position the Governor is not
only vindicating the unquestionable
rights, of tiie State against Federal
usurpation, but is interposing, te
the extent of his power, the only
protection to the exposed settlers
of their homes and repetitions of
Indian outrages from which that
portion of the State has so often
sullered. The heartless folly of
conceding belligerent rights le
nomadic ban, Is of thieves and mur
derers of defenceless citizens, is bad
enough when exercised upon terri
tory exclusively under Federal
jurisdiction; but the attempt to
establish a penal colony within the
bounds of an independent Stafe, in
violation of law and contempt of
State authoiity, is simp! outra
geous, and if it leads to deadly
conUiet as it inevitably will the
blame must rest upon the abilrarv
a.-sumptio'ns of Federal authority.
The grand jury in Jackson comi
ty lias presented true bills of indict
ment against a number of these
Indian outlaws for murder. The
whole power of the State is com
pelled to arrest; an. I if lawfully
tried and. found guilty, what legal
authoritv has the Picsideiit, or anv
one holding office under him, to
arrest the judgment of the Court?
ft is time that Stale laws were vin
dicated in the case of Indian crimes,
and Governor (.trover will have the
sympathy and support of all law
abiding citizens in the stand he has
taken.

COURTESY OF BMiCROFT
In tfts Ilijrht rath.
The OnrjonUni says that the
organization of Farmers' clubs
throughout the country is hailed
by every true friend of the State
as an omen of good. Oregon is
essentially an agricultural and
stock-growing country, and the
Farmers:' clubs are in the interest
of these two branches of farming.
At one meeting the question elis
cussed relates to stock raising, at
another to grain-growing, and then
to the all-absorbing question : how
shall we carry our produce to mar
ket at rates that will allow us some
compensation for our own labor,
and for the money we invest ? The
farmers discuss these questions
from a standpoint of an immediate
and vital interest in them, and
therefore with a keener intelligence
than any other c;ass of pel sons
could bring to their consideration.
The editors of newspapers may sit
in their efliecs and write high
sounding about the wisdom of this
plan, and the unwisdom ef that,
but the most of the common sense
that is brought to bear upon sub
jects of this nature, and that finally
wins the general endorsement,
comes from the farmers thenjselves
from their chub discussions, or
their published letters. As a spec
imen of this, look jit the newspaper
rhetoric about "diversified indus
try." It i:i all very well to urge a
farming community to consider the
fact that their industiies must be
more diversified, that they mmt
not rely on the cultivation ef the
soil and stock-raising alone, but

do is to make the most of the pres

the best use of whatever opportun

We find the follenving good and
sensible remarks in one of our ex
changes, and we would most earn
estly recommend them to the con
sideration of our readers generally,
and to our citizens of this county
and city in particular:
There is no better plan to secure
the prosperity of a town than for
the citizens to help one another.
!y " helping one another" we mean
a reciprocity of patronage, the pol
icy of patronizing home industry,
on all occasions where it can be
done.. It needs ne argument to
show that such policy will advan
tage all the interests of a commun
ity and so enhance its wealth and
general progress. Some towns
have found it to their advantage
to give from the common the
treasury large premiums for the
establishment of manufactories,
realizing immense returns from the
increase of population and business
growing out of the increased de
mand for labor. All classes are
benefited by producing a popula
tion, from the boot-black to the
banker, for production creates
wealth. Imagine a community that
produces nothing, and is com
pelled to supply all its wants
frem abread ; is it not plain that it
must become bankrupt? The At
lanta (Ga.) ('oiirt'ttution has an
excellent article on the subject of
patronizing home industry, which
we heartily endorse. It says: "Do
not send abroad for help, if you
have work to do, when it can be
eione in your own town. Khconr
age your own honest, industrious,
faithful mechanics. Titer need all
the help they can get. Ry such a
