ASTORIA. OREGON:
Saturday January 22. isst
The legislature can bost serve
the financial interests of the state
by not monkeying with the inter
est question.
So far there has appeared in the
legislature no expected bill .per
mitting or authorizing the O. JR.
& If. Co. to lease its state lines to
tbe Union Pacific railroad Co.
It is true of the negro," says
the. if aeon Telegraph, "but not of
any other race, that he flourishes
best in the sight of bis old home,
-and if permitted he will always re
turn." New York papers say that
Union square is filled with starv
ing actors, and that stranded dra
matto companies strew the line of
travel from Maine to Oregon.
They incidentally remark that the
street car strikes open up a fine
avenue of labor.
It would certainly be a great
misfortune for our state, says the
Worlds if-the present legislature
changes the law governing foreign
corporations or the rate of interest.
The farmers of this state are large
ly borrowers, they want and need
cheap money. The only way by
which it ever will become cheaper
is to induce money from abroad to
come here; the more that comes
here," the larger will be the sup
ply, and when the supply equals
or exceeds the demand, then the
rates will become low without any
legislative enactments, and we
venture to assert that if the usury
law of Oregon would be repealed
that money would be very much
cheaper than it is now. California is
an example; they have no usury
law, yet money is cheaper there
than here. So, instead of passing
additional prohibitory laws against
.money, the result of which would
be to drive what little money there
is here away, and enhance the
rental of what will remain, better
to repeal all laws which are pro
hibitory. Among the items of interest
with which the new almanac of
the American board is packed are
the statistics of the principal for
eign mission societies of the Unit
ed States. Taking the four largest
we find, as to receipts, that the
Presbyterian board, north, leads
off with 1745,161. The American
board stands next- with $058,754.
Then follow the Baptist mission
ary union with 436,896, and the
Methodist Episcapal church, north,
with 440,53G. The total of all
the societies is 3S213,743. In the
number of converts added the past
" year the American board stands at
rr "'the front with 3,400. The Bap-tists'-follow
close up, having 3,450.
The next are the Presbyterians,
north, with 2,533, and the Metho
dists, -north, with 1,787. The
whole number reaches 37,701.
When the whole number of com
municants enrolled is considered,
the Baptists take the lead, having
56,440. The American board
counts 26,130; the Presbyterians,
north, 20;294, and the Methodists,
'north, 12,133. The entire footing
is 148,979.
. .s.n its report upon the senate
bill to provide for the admission
of Washington territory as a state
of the Union, the house committee
'-on territories says: The vote cast
at the last election in that portion
"of Idaho which the bill proposes
to add to the new state was 5,459,
which, at the ratio of four inhab
itants to each voter, represents a
population of 21,836. Adding
this to the population of Wash
ington, the new state will come
into the Union with 197,095 peo
ple, or representation. The com
mittee is of the opinion that Wash
ington territory possesses all the"
elements of wealth, intelligence
and local development, in Bvery
particular, to enable her people to
successfully establish and main
tain a , state government. The
.conjmiUee takes up the claim of
-Xo&Tttia for .admission to the Un
ion, and after showing that the
population at the last election was
151,472, says it would seem that
Montana contains a larger popu
lation than the ratio of represen
tion in congress. Copious quota
tions are made from the governor's
recent message, exhibiting the
financial condition of the terri
tory and its vast natural re
sources and heavy exports of min
eral and the annual product there
of. The committee then recom
mends that the original senate bill,
which provides for the admission
of "Washington territory with a
portion of Idaho added, be so
amended as to include the terri
tory of Montana, and that the con
stitutions of the proposed states of
Washington and Montana be sub
mitted to congress instead of to
the president, as provided in the
senate bill. Another amendment
proposed to the bill is a require
ment that the constitution of the
states shall include a provision,
forbidding polygamous association
or cohabitation within their juris
diction. The chairman excepts to
this last amendment in a minority
report, in which he says he dis
sents from the majority of the com
mittee in requiring any Teligious
test whatever in the formation of
a constitution for a state of the
Union, or imposing any conditions
whatever except that the state
constitutions shall be Republican
in form and conform to the pro
visions of the constitution of the
United States.
