The Salem 8tatbh.ua n states that the legislature will be asked to appropri ate $15,000 to build a wagon road through the Minto pass into Iastern Oregon ; a very protter thing to be done. It would be hiL'lilv beneficial to the general in torests of the people on both sides of the mountains. Union Scout. l The present legislature will tie asked to estatiiish a state weather service.

Dr. laimage is emphatic in I his remarks. In a recent sermon he thus alludes to the "dishonest dollar." "You jmt one dishonest dollar in an estate, but it will not stand. "You may take a dis honest dollar and put it down into the very depths of the eurth and you may roll on top of it rocks and mountains and on top of those rocks and mountains you may put all the banks and Moneyed "institutions piling them up heavens high ; but that one dishonest dollar down in the depths of the earth will begin to rock and heave, and upturn itself until it comes to the resurrection of damnation. You cannot hide a dishonest dollar." A Bill has beon introduced in the house amending the law regarding state lands, and fixing the minimum price of school hinds at a dollar and a quarter an acre. This bill should be mipiorted, as most of the school land throughout the stute that is worth two dollars per acre has been sold, while there are thousands of acres of land that is worthless except for pasture, that can be disposed of at a dollar and a quarter an acre, which is the government price genorally for land. The money would go on interest as soon as the land is sold, and be far more valu . able to the school fund than ttie third class land lying idle and profitless. The reduction in price does not prevent the agents of the board appraising the land at more than the minimum price, if it is worth more. and as the amount looks small, it gws through. We now have a tour null state school tax, with a new bill to increase it to five, against a tax ol less than two mills for all the other expenses of the state government. The proposition to iortna corporations from employing Chinamen, if adopted, would likely postpone the completion of trie uregon at iainornia rauruuu, mm-u, it lias been understood, would be finished the coining summer. The whole state is looking to the completion ot trie uregon and California connection, and it will tie a serious blow if our legislature throws obstructions in the way. All the white men obtainable are now employed upon the California branch, and six hundred Chinamen are also employed. If on the Oregon line the Chinamen are (liscnarg ed, it is likely to lie some years before the connection will be made between the two roads, and those who wish to come to Oregon or go to California can stay ai home or take a sea-sick trip by steamer, . 1.1 ' I..

What right has the state to prohibit either from employing whom they choose? Suppose it should enact that we shall not give employment to Englishmen, Scotch men, Irishmen, Germans, Africans, or native Oregonians? lias it not as much right to do that as the other? Or are there no rights a legislature is bound to resjiect? Frkemas. BAKKKl'll RAILROADS. ' 1 heard. No; the truth of the matter is, immigration into the state has supplied this pro-perous condition. No one can look through the report of the State Poard of Immigration, without realizing that the great bulk of this immigration has been the result of work done in that depart ment. In the 400,000 pieces of immigra tion literature spread abroad throughout all nortions of the union, and the old world ; in the exhibition of our produc tions in the car to 200,000 people in eight different states; in the replies of the board to thousands of inquiring letters, we find the cause of the great bulk ot tins immi gration. This eflort ought not to ne re laxed in the least, it ought to oe in creased. LITTLE WOMEN. TAX ITON INSURANCE COMPANIES. According .to the ltailway Age there were forty-five wrecked railroads, with 7,(IK7 miles of main line, sold under fore closure in 1RH0. The properties were capitalized at $374,109,700, or about $50, 000 a mile. They were really worth less than half that amount. Most ol them were bankrupt before they began busi ness, their substance having been con sumed in the profits of the managers nnrhir the cuise of "construction com panics." The projectors cared little who held ttie miiaieu eviuences 01 uiurwuKa ownership after they had transferred everything of value into their own pockets. Some of these roafis were train aiier the following manner. The right of way was largely procured for nothing from farmers or other land-owners having prop erty to be benefited. Many of these were alHO induced to take stock. Cities and villages subscrilied in many cases more than they could afford to. After securing as much as possible in this way the process of selling bonds was entered UMin, and if this lagged, what shares re mained undisposed of were thrown in as a premium. In one instance bonds were Bold at (10 cents on the dollar and $1,000 worth of stock presented with every $1, 000 bond. Out of the money thus obtained the managers paid themselves as contractors excessive nrices for building. Every en gine and car bought was mortgaged for all that, could be nlaced on it. A road of this description, of course, fell under the hammer as soon as the managers could get out of the wav. Other methods are adopted of wrecking roads that have reallv sustained them selves bv obtaining enoueh money from the public to pay returns on their inflated securities. These are wrecked by the mananerB selling them supplies at ruin ous rates, loading them down with worth' less nrooertics bv mpaiis of leaBe obliga tions, etc. Probublv not one of these roads, honestly built and capitalized, would have become insolvent. A tax is required from each outside in surance company upon premiums received in the state, as follows, viz : Alabama 2 per cent, and fees. Arkansas 2 " Connecticut 2 " " Delaware 2 " Illinois 3 " Indiana 2 " Iowa 2 Kansas 2 " Kentucky ".2 " " Michigan 3 " " Maine 2 Massachusetts 2 " Minnesota 2 " " New Jersey 2 New York 3 Pennsylvania ..2 " " Rhode Island 2 " Tennessee 2 " " West Virginia 2 ' " Wisconsin 2 " " We notice several insurance bills m troduced presumably by request of agents of outside insurance companies which provide for a tax of only one per cent, and while we do not blame them for trying to keep their taxes down, yet it is a duty that our legislature should not shirk to see tha'. they bear theirshare of 1h? taxes, and with the high rate of taxation in this state these companies should be required to nay as much here as they have to pay in other states. 1 tie tax commission ap pointed by the last legislature recom mended that they tie requireo. 10 pay three percent, and this after carefully considerine the matter, and we trust mat the present legislature wi.l look carefully after this and see that this state does not lose $20,00(1, by putting merely a nominal tax upon theBe companies. The seven-year-old daughter of a very busy mother, who in consequence of her husband's early death, was obliged to carry on bis business, was asked one day by a friend what she was able to do in the way of Ue,. 1 can only pray to od ana nem tne the dusters," was ihe child's reply in all seriousness, but it showed that she had learned to do the duty that lay nearest her. and as years went on she developed into the steady, reliable, cheer ful girl to whom the whole household looked for help, and seldom, if ever, in vain. Very pleasant are the hours spent by our little Mary in the kitchen, still under mother's wing, or that of some trusty and reliable servant. How she enjoys picking the bits of stems from among the currants, stoning the raisins, buttering the cake tins and cutting any spare donah or naste that may be over when the pies are made into rounds with the ton of a wine Blass And what a crown ing joy it is when she is allowed to have a whole eooseberrv or a tiny apple to make into a dumpling for her own dinner or a nursery feast! And what an im- nortant wrsonacre she is when on busy days she may even be trusted with wash ing up the breakfast things. M all little girls were allowed tne eariy visits to the kitchen, with real participa tion in its work, the world would not hear so much about undomesticated wives and housekeepers, who cannoi teach their servants what they have never learned themselves.

Mr. Henry V. l'oor lias published a pamphlet on the interstate commerce bill for the purpose of showing that it ought to be defeated and the railroads left to regulate their own rates. He presents interesting statistics illustrating the rapid increase in the amount of freight trans ported in the twenty-one years ending 1H85 and the no less marked decrease in the rates charged. He regards the figures as a "complete vindication of the railroad companies from the charges of oppression and misconduct." No one denies the increase in business or the reduction in rates. Neither is tliere any question as to the value of the railroads in the development of the coun try. They are simply indispensable. But it does not follow that railroad managers have not been guilty of abuses of which discriminations form an important feature. And the door is still open to those abuses, to commit which those who control the roads are incited by selfish interest. Mr. l'oor substantially takes th-3 ground that the New York farnior should help pay for a western farmer's transportation, lie says: "An ideal system of transpor tation in a country like the United States would be one by which the producer should sufler no disadvantages on account of his distance from the market one by which the wheat-growers in Dakota should receive the same profit on their crop as the growers in the Uonesee val ley." This is the prineiplo that the rail roads, according to Mr. l'oor, are to be admired for approximating in practice. It may be submitted that this is al together too "ideal" to pormit the rail road men to attempt to carry out. As the gist of Mr. l'oor's argument hinges on this rjoint. it may safelv be left to an swer itself. Mankind has not reached - the point where it can abolish the quid pro quo principle in economic matters Recently, it has been the habit of cer tain newspupers in different localities of the state to scold at the Ktate Board of Immigration tiecause few of the new comers have found their way into this or that particular region. We1 cannot see that these papers have any good grounds for this attitude of hostility towards the board, on this account. If these papers will examine the figures relating to the irrowt.li of population, as prepared by Hon. K. K. Liuighlin, who has charge of the new apportionment bill, and which ligures were published in the Oregonian sometime in December '8(1, it will be found that the distribution of immigrants has been very equally divided up be tween the several comities. But in any event the State Board of immigration does not make any distribution ol new- :oniero. Most of the immigrants come into the state having made a choice of location, and the board, as the commis sioners Hav, does not seek to influence them or alter that choice. Eastern Oregon people have good rea son to scold, nut certainly not iu. me State Board of Immigration, but at the railway company, which has steadily re used to make a reduction ol lares in favor of the new-comer. The blame lies at the door of the railway company, and not with the board. The board has souirht time and again, as published let ters show, to have tins reduction in iares of immigrants made, hut without avail But nil this aside, we want these nu- mierants. We want half a hundred thou sand within the next fifteen months. We can L'et them bv the expenditure of a little inoiiev for an Immigration Board which will steadily and judiciously ad vertise this state abroad. At the regular session of the legislature in 1885 the Ready liquor bill was mutila ted bv some scoundrel, and there was also a "clerical error" in the journal in the same act. At the same session house bill 190, in relation to railroad sidetracks, was stolen bv some thief. At the special session of the same legislature senate joint memorial No. 6, in relation to the forieiture ot a wagon roaa land grant, was mutilated by some hired rascal. At the regular session in 1882 the consti tutional amendment resolution, in reta tion to prohibition of the liquor traffic, was the victim ol a "clerical error," ana there have been other "mistakes" made, of minor importance. Where there lias been so much guilt, some one must be guilty, and the proper Btation in life lor the guilty party is in the state penitentiary, making stoves This matter should be promptly m vestigated, and the guilty party, or par ties, sent where they property belong No innocent man is afraid of investiga tion. If the minions of justice can find the authors of these alleged "mistakes," a severe example should be made of him for the warning of other rascals. Lt the legislature investigate. It is understood that there ia a movement on foot to sift this matter to the bottom. You may have heard that the south ern country is booming, iney ve got faro banks and saloons, and crooks, and cable cars, and real estate agents, and subscription lists, and Marcus Meyer, and other evidences of civilization. And I'm told it isn't San Francisco capital that is doing it either. In fact, it is nn deniable that the new settlers despise us to some extent, and are already begin ning to dream of making the boiden Gate the extreme entrance to Los An geles. Those are eastern people with money. They've come out to settle, and to develot) things and have a good time. A young couple who arrived lately went to a real estate agent the other day to inquire concerning an investment. The lady was apparently as deeply interested as the gentleman. "1 have an elegant piece oi property at Pasadena," said he. "Pasadena is the modern Garden of Eden." "It's very prettv. and I'd like to live there; but there are so many people there for their health, you know." "Consumptives, vou mean. Yes; but there are sick people everywhere."

Editor Statesman: Bills have been introduced into the legislature to increase the state school tax from four to five mills, and to prohibit corporations from emnlovins: Chinese labor. I have been told by a memlier of the late state- ad ministration that Oreiron is now paying a higher school tax than any other state in the Union. Every few years some "pro fessor" gets the member from his county to otter a bill to increase it another mm There is no job in the bill to provide for the publication of a state series of school books. It is a plain business prop osition, and the expenditure of the money is hut into the hands of the state board of education, the work to be executed by the state printer at the low rates allowed him by law, the material to be advertised for and furnished by the lowest bidder, and the binding to be under the supervi sion of the secretary of state. There is no room for a job or a gouge. If the peo ple will study up this important ques tion, and if their representatives will look into the matter, and consider the saving, the bill will go through without a dis senting vote, as it should, lhere is no possible objection to it, outside of the gilded arguments of this book monopoly and outside publishers. Now is the time for the state to begin this work. Bhi ssels, Dec. 10. According to the new law conferring the monopoly of the production of alcohol on the state high duties will be levied on foreign alcohol : and the production of bwiss distilleries will be controlled by the Federal author ities. The owners of distilleries will be aliowed to employ only substances rec ognized as wholesome, from which the potato iB excluded. They will have to furnish the alcohol at cost, and have for profit only the refuse. The confedera tion will furnish alcohol to the trade from 220f to 150 the hectolitre. Of the clear profit one-fourth is to go to the Federal treasury, and three-fourths will belong to the treasuries of their respective cantons according to the number of inhabitants. The cantons will have to abolish all indirect taxes, established on the trade in alcoholic and other drinks, such as wine, cider and beer. Each canton will have to prove to the Federal authority the employment of 10 per cent of its an nual share of profit in the supresBion of the abuse of alcoholic liquors. The monopoly is exacted to produce annu ally about 10,000,000f. Oorr. London Times. COMMUED.

From those who have had occasion to collect imputation data for presentation to the legislative assembly, aside from the report of the State Board of Immigration, we are assured that 25,000 or 30,01X1 peo ple have heen added to Oregon's list of permanent residents, during the past twelve or fifteen months. And from the moHt reliable sources from all portions of tho state, it is safe to say, that these jeo- ple have added several millions of dollars to the money value of Oregon. It is the testimony of shrewd business men that the monev brought bv immigration du ring the past twenty montliB, saved Ore gon from a had financial stress and strain. It is admitted on all sides that Oregon is prosperous to-day ; that there is an un usual amount of ready money in circula tion. And it is admitted in the same breath, that the crop of wheat, hops, oats or fruit cannot lie creditod with this un usual amount of ready money. The crops were good last year, and the year before, but for all of that, money was scarce, and the cry of hard times was constantly HtiAU ll Let us have a reform school if it is needed, and we think it is, but, gentle men of the legislature, locate it some where else than at the capital city. Sa lem already has more than her share, and should not utter one protest against their establishment elsewhere. Oregon City Enterprise. Probably it would not hurt the writer ol the above paragraph to read the consti tution of Oregon, unless tie writes on the theory that the less you know about a subject, the more you can say about it. The constitution of Oregon locates the state institutions at the capital ot the state, and not the legislature. More than this. Oregon City should not be hoggish. She has the fish ladder. Salem don't want that. Mr. Chamberlin, of Marion, has in troduced in the senate a bill to authorize the county courts to each appoint a road and bridge commissioner. Such a law would be a beneficial one. It would sys tematize the work of improving and keep ing in repair county roads and the con struction and care oi eouniy uriuges. j.i would take a burden oh" the shoulders of the members of the court in counties as lartre as Marion or Multnomah. Ihe pay of the commissioner would tie small, only for the number of days required for his work. A INVERSION. Some of the honorable senators have become incensed at certain references made to their actions by Senator Wager, of Umatilla and Morrow .in his paper, the Pendleton East Oregonian, and they have brought this personal matter to the at tendon of the public body, the senate, w hose time belongs to the people ana is paid for by them, it Mr. wager has as serted what he cannot prove, his is a re- sponsible journal, and tliere is recourse to the courts. TOUGH SOCIETY U1SLS. The rehearsals of the "Messiah" have proved again a fact which would appear peculiar. It is said the so-called "deli cate butterflies," the society girls, are more hardy and courageous than their sisters who are more regular in their hab its. Whenever a rehearsal comes in extremely cold weather, as for instance, last Monday afternoon, there is a marked falling off in the attendance, but the society girls of the chorus are always present, while the others stay away Thev are accustomed to exposure inci dent to wearing of full dress which the others cannot endure. It is a repetition of the experiences of the war, when the gay vouths of the city made much more ha'rcTy soldiers than the stronger men who had alwavs lived on farms and gone to bed at 9 o'clock at night.
