HIE OGiiDOIl GLOBE. FRIDAY, FFBRUARY 17, 1883. Rov. W. C. Wle will preach t Kofstlon thilt Buwlay of each month; at Mayville on the 31, ud at Condon on the 2d and 4th Sundays, THE OFFICJAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY, OREGON. NE W ASSESSMENT LA iV The passage of the bill repealing the mortgage tax and indebtedness clause in the assessment law almost marks an epoch in the material pro gress of Oregon. It is a mighty stride forward, and contributes largely toward putting the state in step with the march of modern ideas and conditions. It is an ad vertisement that we have scraped the IB088 from, our backs, and have conn? out from under the shadow of old-fogyism to compete with our sister common wealths in the race for supremacy. It is an invitation to capital to come from abroad, and to find investment in a community where there are no unjust discrim inations. It furthermore removes from the taxpayer the temptation to evade the laws and his just share of the burden of government by concealing his property behind a fictitious indebtedness. Compara tively few have any knowledge to what an extent the indebtedness clause was used to evade taxation. In every town and city in the state it was worked vigorously whenever assessment time came around, and often by men whose position in society and business would have suggested a more honor able course. A day or two before assessment, men would go to the banks and brokers and borrow to the limit of their credit and leave the loan untouched until after the assessment was made and then pay off the note, preferring to pay three or four days' interest on the amount to having a full return of their property appear on the tax rolls. There were many instances of this kind, and there were others who in one way and another managed to cover up their property under the indebtedness clause so that the assessor could not get at it, until it is safe to say fully one-third of the property in the state escaped taxation. The repeal of this indebt edness clause will probably increase the tax roll from 30 to 40 per cent. And the same thing is measurably true in all the counties of the state. The assessment law is not perfect yet. There are some inequalities and some slight oppressions. But the new law will be such a vast improvement upon the old system the people of the state will hold this legislature in blessed memory for having enacted it, ' The state of Washington has a grievance, and as the result thereof, its representative in Congress is coming in for his share of censure The Goldendale Courier voices the public sentiment thusly: ' "The Bill granting extension of time for the payment on Northern Pacific " forfeited lands, applies only to Ore gon. Great Scott! where do the people of Washington get off at? What has become of that little piece of egotism that was here in Golden dale during the campaign 4ying to serve the dear people? John II., you are a dandy; come back to Olympia and help Allen beak his neck." The legislatures of Alabama, Pennsylvania and Minnesota have oassed bills prohibiting the sale or giving away or otherwise dispos ing of cigarettes, cigarette tobacco and cigarette paper, in any form. It imposes a fine of not less than $10 or more than $50. and imprison ment or sentence to hard labor for not less than 30 days, for, violation of its provisions. The bills also pro hibit the smoking of .cigarettes in any public place. This law ought to become general throughout the United States. The papers of the Pacific Coast comtinue to complain of "the girl famine"on their shores. This should be remedied.. All through tEe East the girls are in extra supply. The census of Philadelphia shows an ex cess of over 20,000 girla. They are good stock, and a few train loads should be shipped speedily to the G-.d Ion West.-Chicago Inter-Ocean. WE WANT PEOPLE. The far West needs more people. Population as much as competition is the life of trade. People make business, not vacant areas. They make towns, cities; they provide a market. There must be a demand iu order to provide a supply. If Portland wants 250,000 population, there must be 800,000 people in the state. If Oregon wants half a dozen cities of 25,000 to 50,000 population there must be over a million souls in the state at large, says the Port land Telegram. Oregon wants people. It wants them not only in thousands but tens of thousands. How in the world can any manufacturing enter prise expect to start up, which may be solicited, unless the projectors look around and see a population I to buy their goods? The millions in the Central West and East do not help them any. The old estab- i lished manufactories look after them in a way that brooks no competi tion from this Coast. The Oregon manufacturer niust,be able to count on an Oregon constituency, while the Massachusetts magnate looks not only to his states, but to the Northeast, to the whole Atlantic seaport, to the Middle states and to the Central West. Suppose Oregon has 400,000 inhabitants at the pres ent moment, for that figure will cover it easily, being a large in crease over, the national census; one-fourth of that is right in Port land, leaving 300,000 to be distrib uted over an area that can readily support 3,000,000. It is almost ridiculous to belive that Oregon's 96,000 square miles hold only 400,000 people, while Massachusetts' little 8315 Bquare miles are not crowded at all with its 2,500,000 inhabitants. In other words, Oregon ranks seventh in area and thirty-eighth in population of all the states, while Massachusetts is fortieth in area but sixth in population. The Willamette val ley proper, the part that is the very cream of it, could hold two Mass achusetts, and the latter is teeming with busy cities, which in turn are teeming with manufactories. Every acre of tillable ground therei s also occupied by smaller land-owners, and farmhouses by the score are seen along the . country roads be tween the frequent towns. Let our immigration board under take its work with greater energy and let the country co-operate with the city to bring farmers to our fer tile soil. There cannot be too great industry in this line. Every effort possible and legitimate should be exerted. If necessary, legislative aid should be given and immigra tion made a popular subject of dis cussion. , All this requires money, but Oregon'sybiisiness men can af ford to be iberal on this proposi tion,' and 'so could the state". The harvest will far more than pay the cost of the seedtime. Oregon must not slumber, when it is the early bird that catches the worm, and it must be confessed that Washington is the early bird in the contest be tween these two states. Bailroad passenger statisics, fts well as the filling up of the country, show this An increase also in Washington's vote of 30,000 oyer the very la6t election and a Jtal of nealy 90,000 show that our" northern neighbor is not going'back in population, despite dull times. Let the nfluences which are nec essary to bring legions of people to Oregon 6e more earnestly exerted. Somebody or something is not thoroughly aroused. Wake up, wakje up all along the line, and start the ball rolling which shall g;ve Oregon 1,000,000 people by the ear 1910. It is estimated that visitors from abroad to the world's fair will bring $300,000,000 to this country dur ing the present year, and at least $100,000,000 will be kept at home by Americans not going abroad. The profits of the exposition to the people of the United , States will therefore be $400,000,000, or about $5 per capita directly' added to the circulating medium. The effect of this addition to the assets of the nation cannot fail to "make itself felt on the business of the country, and the effect will be beneficial. The St. Paul Globe tells what, H thinks about the length of the leg islative session iu Minnesota. as follows: "It is generally conceded that a sixty-day session of the leg islature is long enough, but, with the uieniber8 of that body drawing a salary of so much per pay, they will probably remain in session the full ninety-days. What Minnesota needs is a law which fixes the sal aries of legislators at a certain fig ure per term, and then they can re main in session as long as they like. Nothing would better Berve to stim ulate representatives than that. Chauncey M. Depew thus de fines a mugwump: "A man who cannot agree with anybody but himself, and even about that he is in doubt."

The Union Pacific have published a very.neat pictorial world's (air folder, containing colored lithographs of the va rious exposition buildings, birds-eye view of the grounds, with a complete map of the city, showing location of the fair, hotels, railway depots, streetcar lines and city parks. Copy of the map can be had by addressing V, II. Ilurlburt, Assistant General Passenger Agent, Port land, Oregon. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. LanoOffics atThe Dalles, Or., Jan. 3, ISPS.
