We notice that several bills have al

in regard to the taxation of insurance
companies, and we have understood that
there were to be bills introduced regula
ting all insurance companies (both home
and foreign) doing business in Oregon.
Both of these movements are heartily
approved of, provided they are given
careful consideration and are not made

th tax commission apioii)ted by the last
legislature (see page 11 and 43 of their
printed report) and they estimated that
front a tax of three per cent upon the
gross earnings the state would receive
fciO.OOO each year, and that it can be col

witli less complaint and dissatisfaction
than in any other manner, and that a tax
of three per cent collected in this way
would not he burdensome upon the corno

states, and the legality of it has been af
firmed by the courts.

Although he does it incidentally, Gov
Moody calls attention to the need of a
State Koform School ; a place of conlimv
ment and moral training for those of
juvenile age, who are just upon the
threshold of crime and a criminal life
(iov. Moody, in this matter, reflects the
best sentiments of this state, and coming
t I. f. . i
iroin mm, nuer ins long experience as
the chief executive of the state, his words
ought to have weight with our present
legislative assembly. lie, as the govern
or of the state, has been called upon
many times during his term of olhco to
witness the incarceration of juvenile of
fenders in the state prison, and under
stands perfectly well that the companion
ship of these new beginners with the
hardened criminal means for the first
growth in vice.
It is not supposed that the moral train
ing of a reform school will transform
these young offenders into saints, or ti
send them into the world again, at the
end of their sentence, modols of every
virtue, mil it ttoos purKsc, anil it can,
send more than two-thirds of them into
the outside world to conduct themselves
so that they shall not be any longer sub
jects for watchfulness on the part of de
tectives and police, or of legal investiga
tion and punishments. As the institu
tion shall grow, and new and better
methods and plans for reformation come
into use, better results will show in a
greater jht cent of the thoroughly
reformed. This state can well all'ord to
expend a good deal of money to bring
about such results in this direction, as are
clearly in view for the first few years of
the work.
We understand that plans and methods
of what is called the "home-plan" have
been talked of here in the state, but it
has only resulted in sending a boy or two
to a reformatory in Han Francisco, to a
man who is glad enough to get Oregon
money, for what can be us well done in
this state, here at home, by half a thou
sandmen. It is an admission that the
so-called "home-plan" will not bring ad
equate results.
In this so-called home, industrial edu
cation would not 1h3 at all probable, hard
ly possible. And there are two argu
ments in favor of this kind of education
for these juvenile oil'enders. First, it is
the exception rather than the rule for a
representative of skilled labor to become
involved in tho meshes of the law. Con
tentment with one's condition in life in
creases after a certain stage of intelligence
is reached, in proportion as that intelli
gence becomes more varied and practical.
Its possessor does not covet what be
longs to another. In the second place, in
dustrial education, from its very nature,
can safely begin nearer the cradle than
any other form of education. Ttie aver
age age of the jail-bird is considerably
past tiie jieriod when the mind and the
moral sensibilities are plastic. No one
becomes bad all at once, and tho pre
uumiiiiiuce oi evu tendencies is most
frequently the result of persistent activ
ity of one kind of full grown impulse
after counter-impulses have been weak
ened by lung resistance and have lost
tbeir power of self assertion which be
longs to a healthy condition of youth.
The man industrially educated lias a
double advantage over his unskilled com
petitor, being less liable to be out of em
ployment, and better ahlo to seek new
fields on occasion. The force of these
considerations is not diminished by the
fact that industrial education as carried
on in paid institutions, may not be call
ed an unmixed success. This industrial
education does not differ from any other
kind of education in the fact that to at
tain to its best results the pupil must, be
young and impressible.
It is to be hoped that our law makers
will consider thiH matter long enough to
come into the belief that we need a State
Ueform School.

make it a misdemeanor, with a heavy
penalty, for making a false statement.
This, together with the fact that the sec

It is said that an effort is being made
at Salem to remove Dr. Josephi from the
position of resilient physician of the state
insane asylum, a proposition which we do
not regard favorably. Dr. Josephi has
shown a remarkable degree of ability in
the treatment of nervous diseases, and
his removal would be felt more keenly by
the sufferers under his charge than by
any one else. We do not regard the
needs of six hundred unfortunate people,
bereft of their reason, as any fitting sub
ject for political speculation, and any pro
cedure which brings about such results is
a disgra;e to our intelligence as a people.

Tin-: Polk county Itemizer is making
frantic efforts to support Daley's bill to
abolish the State Board of Immigration.
Mr. Daley's iaier has a right to support
Mr. Daley's measure, but it ought to re
member that the members of the legisla
ture have been reading the printed re
port of the state board, and that when it
attempts to belittle the labor of the com
missioners by omitting to state plainly and
candidly what has been done, it is only
making itself ridiculous. Because Mr.
Daley may not like the president of the
state board, is no reason why his jiajicr
should be used to defeat a good work for
the people of the state. That president
is not a candidate for re-appointment.
The Itemizer is hard up for material when
it quotes a Mud Creek correspondent of
the East Oregonian, and credits it to Mr.
Wager himself. The editor of tho East
Oregonian ought to correct Mr. Daley's
I paper.
It is not always easy to understand tin
reasons which move members yf the na-
lonal house of representatives to wish to
become United States senators. It is true
that in certain ways, twth socially and
politically, tho latter oflice is a more ex
alted one. The senators are, so ti sjieak,
the ambassadors of the various states, and
they have a share in executive power that
is not accorded to the members of the
lower branch of congress. They an?, in
consequence of their treaty-making func
tions, upon calling terms with the minis
ters sent to represent foreign governments
at Washington, and they have, moreover,
a lease of ollicial lile running through six
years, and do not have to take so closely
into account tho iersonal wishes of po
litical leaders and powerful constituents.
Put, in spite of these undeniable ad
vantages, the senate is by no means a
branch of the national legislature into
which a man desiring national prestige
would, in all cases, wish to enter. It is
well known that, in England, a public I
..,!. 1 41... 1 ,

for the house of lords considers that lit
nas mane a change lar lrom henelit ial to
his future, if he aspires to be a treat nimn
lar leader. Mr. Gladstone or Lord Kan
duljih i,iiut:olull would be a very much less
important, factor in the house of. Lords
than in the house of commons, and while
our 1 nilcd Mates senate is, in almost
every respect, a more powerful second
chamber than that formed by the peers
of Cireat Britain, something of the re
pression which attaches to the second
chamber in England is felt in the second
chamber at Washington.
It has been the experience of not a few
men thai the translation from the nomi
nally lower to the nominally higher
branch of the legislative government has
been seriously detrimental to them. A
man who has made his mark in the house
of representatives, who has been, in fact,
a leader in the house, and has possessed
as such an enormous power in controlling
legislation, has sunk into relative ob
scurity in the senate. Not in consequence
of the superior ability of bis new associ
ates, out because those qualities of mind
which served him so well in alareo noun
lar assembly are found to ho altogether
out ot jiiace and at a discount in a small
and more deliberative body.
Ok course the people of this state want
a railroad bridge at Portland. It would
help out the commerce of the state ; but
the draw should be at least 1H0 feet in
the clear, so as to allow all kinds of shijis
and boats to jtass without danger at any
season of the year or stage of the water.
KOItMAl SCHOOL MA n't; It.
Editor Statkhman: In last Friday's
issue of the Stathsman was an article
touching Uxiii normal school matters,
and csiK-cially about a bill being intro
duced in the house asking for an annual
apnropruiliiili of $1800 00 for tho school
at Monmouth in Polk county. Tho writ
er does not know u!l this bill contains,
but it is enimuli, if mmhiis, to know, that
no such mid us Mils bill calls for upon
the slate treaiurv should at all be tolera
ted, anil ii this Monmouth school is not
self sustaining, then it should be abandon
ed. Other pretended normal school at
Ashland in Jackson county, and Drains, in
Douglas county, will likely be on hands
asking for similar appropriations. In
stead of appropriating more for these
schools and for the benefit of a few teach
ers, let there bo more money expended
for tho common schools of the state, and
a more general diffusion of knowledge
among the masses, will create a more
healthy ami enlightened public senti
ment among the people. The legislature
should and no doubt w ill he very careful
how the people's money is expended, and
not let it go in the interests of a few
waning or expiring second rate acade
mies, or colleges either, except such as
are ahead provided for by law. Such a
bill as above stated, is nothing more nor
less than a salary grab bill, in the in
terest of Mr. Stanley, of Monmouth, and
a few other hungry and forlorn eda
gognes. A similar measure was defeat
ed by the last regular session of tho legis
lature. There are imiortaiit measures
to he legislated upon during the present
session, huch as the assessment law;
the regulation of railroad freights and
passenger faros. The people demand
this, and a reduction of both is exacted
to free the people from the grinding heel
of monopoly. The xple also exited of
this legislature, redress atrainst swaiim
land swindlers, and as each succeeding
egislature in the years gone by, has
failed to probe this matter to tho bottom,
as it should be, would it not Ihj prudent
ami the better iiurt of wisdom for the
present legislature to appoint a commit
tee to investigate the books of the shit.,
officials who have had charge of the sale
of swamp lands, ami let such committee
report at the next session of the legisla
ture, as it is certainly well known that a
thorough examination into this mutter
cannot lie made during the session of the
egislature, as these hasty examination!
amount to but very little.
