"TIIU MOKTCAOR TAX LAW."
It Is nppiircnt from several articles
recently published in the Oregon lau
tlmt a movement is on foot tmiong
the money loiiucra to procure the re
peal of tho "Mortgage Tax Law."
A similar effort was jnatle through
tho medium of Mint paper some
years ago, and very Boon after the
law whs enacted. The same reasons
for its repeal were then assigned
that now appear in these articles :
To-wit: That it will drive money
out of the stato and make Interest
high. These predictions have not
come to pass. Money is still here to
bo had in all cases when good secu
rity can bo ofl'ered ; and interest is
more reasonable than In Washing
ton Territory, Just across tho Colum
bia. More money is now in the
market to be loaned to fanners on
mortgage than it Is prudent for
thein to borrow, even if Interest
were lower. The object of these ar
ticles is to create n public opinion
that will remove all taxes from
money and credits, and this idea
crops out in all these articles. It is
tho earnest desire of tho capitalists,
(as moneyed men stylo themselves)
to Bliift all the taxes from theinsolves
on tho producing classes. And as
Micro are a number of capitalists
elected to tho next legislature, they
evidently think now is tho time to
Hccuro indemnity from taxation, and
fix further burdens on tho produc
ing classes.
That class of property known as
credits, bonds, mid stocks which
these moneyed men use to mako
great prollts is, together with tho
money of tho country (which is
mostly in their possession), yielding
to its owners an annual Income-of
larger per cent, than land owned
and worked by actual fanners,
and Is belter able to bear tho burden
of taxation.
This personal property of the
capitalists needs and has more pro
tection from tho laws ; and contests
us to its title are mora frequent in
tho courts than contests about land.
Still these men desire to place all
tho burdens of maintaining and en
forcing tho laws for tho protection
of this property on land and tangl
hie property. This exhibits a de
gree of selfishness and greediness
well worthy of these Plutocrats,
whose en pucltyof deglutition expends
with the ever Increasing quantity
of wealth otlerod to their capacious
Htomachs, that never yet wore so
tilled an to cause a single comfortable
grunt signifying satiation.

THE COLORKD MAN AGAIN.
Benjamin Butler, talking on tho
newly ra'sed question, says tho
negro should be made a wholo man,
not half a one, and that all offices
should be open to him ; but, In an
swer to a question presented to him,
whether it would bo proper to put a
negro In Harrison's cabinet, answer
ed, "Is ho not a man and a brother?"
Burton R. Wilson, a prominent
colored man of Boston, says the re
publicans cannot succeed without
the colored vote, and thinks now
tho party has an opportunity to
prove itself by Harrison's appoint
ing a colored man to the cabinet."
lie favors Fred Douglass or John It.
Lynch.
Editor Powell, of the Advocate,
said tho colored men think them
selves entitled to representation in
the cabinet, and he favored cx-
Scnator Blanche K. Bruce.
Bishop A. W. Wayland of the
African M. E. church, says the
time is not yet ripo to admit negroes
to administrative positions. "Wo
uoii'i expect suou umigs, uu uiu,
after declaring that the race was not
yet sufficiently developed.

Joseph E. Brisco said ho did not
think it would bo politic to place a
colored man In the cabinet.
A HOOV TO WlIALKUJiN.
A petition has been presented to
congress by Senator Stauford, from
tho chamber of commerce of San
Francisco, calling tho attention of
congress to tho urgent need of a per
manent relief station In the Arctic
ocean. The petition says the whal
ing ilectsiitMng out at San Francisco
aro steadily Increasing and many
hundred lives and millions of dol
lars worth of properly are exposed
to the unusual danger in the pursuit
of whaling in the Arctic. Tho re
lief stations should be supplied with
provisions, fuel, stores, heavy cloth
ing and life-saving appliances. Tho
petition says It will be a great boon
to Arctic whalemen.

Esclmtology,
The regular Semi-term rhetoricals
will be held next Thursday at 2:30

students are expected to declaim or

Mrs. Wells oflndepeudenco.MlssiB
Carrie Royal of Dallas aud Amy
Cavnnaugh, all old time students,
witnessed chapel exercises Friday.
School was not called Wednesday
on account of tho Moody meetings,
but everything started nicely on
Thursday morning.
Prof. Ed. A. Bennett and wife,
both old time students, spent the
holidays visiting his parents in Sa
lein. Mr. Bennett Is successful as
principal of the Staytoti public
school, and says he has 110 scholars
enrolled.
A few of the students have not
yet returned from their holiday so
journ, but more of the new students
have entered and more are expected
Boon.
Some of the young ladles and
gentleman took New Years dinner
and spent tho day with Prof M. V.
Itork. pastor of the Unitarian Church.
Prof, and Mrs. Itork proved to be
fine hosts and the students were
highly pleased with their entertain
ment. Tne University received twenty
six volumes of Bancroft's History of
the Pacific Coast, the first of the
week. These books, with tho excel
lent libraries of the lato Drs. Rob
erts and AVilbur, which have re
cently been placed in the University
library, have added much to its
worth, and many good books are
being read.
Leap year can scarcely be bald to
have been a failure among old time
students, as between a dozen and a
scoro of them have embraced the
golden opportunity and bid farewell
to single blessedness and entered
tho state of blissful matrimony.
Tho toachors with a host of studeuts
give them a warm congratulation,
and may this year be pleasantly re
membered with no regrets.
