THE LEGISLATURE.
Few Words as to Legisla
tion and Bills Passed.
A Summary of the Bills Passed Somo
Desirable and Somo Objcctionablo
...the Burden Of Taxation.
great deal of useless groaning is
made over the appropriations by tho
late legislature because of the
mount. Now the amount will not
he a tax of over 2 mills onthodol
larontho property as exhibited by
he assessment rolls of 1880-7. It is
not the amount so much as
gome items that may be complained
0f And indeed we would have' no
fault, or little, at most, to find as to
them but for tho fact of tho sparsc-
ness
of our population wmcu re-
miires that wo
fhat wo Bhall exercise tuo
, m.n r,tnnn
strictest economy. uv dhuBi.
point Is that those who wero most
reckless about appropriations are
men who opposed every measure
calculated to invito population into
the state. It would cost little, If
any more, to carry on the ordinary
government of Oregon, if her popu
lation were three times more than it
is now. The people of this state
have borne very heavy burdens and
mav now be justly proud of their
public Institutions and buildings.
They now have a right to expect a
large influx of industrious settlers
who will divide with them the duty
ofsupporting the institutions of their
state. There is much said about
money voted for opening or complet
ing roads. The action is denounced
by many as unconstitutional and no
discrimination is made. Yet there
can be no question as to the legality
ofsome.ifnotof.all .those appropri
ations. As to expediency there is
no one thing that does more to en
hance the value of property and ex
tend settlement of the country than
good roads. This money, judicious
ly expended, is more quickly return
ed to the.general treasury 'than any
other. One might as well call sow
ing seed wheat a waste of revenues
as to denounce this. There should
be an exercise of reason in all mat
ters. "We are for stern economy and
strict construction of constitutions.
But the worst economists are those
who waste at bung holes while sav
ing at spigots, and tho greatest ene
mies of constitutional law arc those
who groundlessly accuse others of its
violation.
Our forefathers fought for our
rights and liberties. They secured
them. But wo are doing everything
to destroy them by statute making.
A man's right to his homo and to
his liberty and pursuit of happiness
is guarded as most sacred. In this
pursuit of happiness his busjnessai
supposed to be included. VTo de
prive him of it should require an
open trial and a verdict of ia jury
and a judgment of a court of record
supposing him to havo done som
offence. If his business be a nui
sance the law provides' how it may
be abated. If his business be lawful
he may contract for pay and charge
whatever is reasonable, one would
suppose. All this Is of right. In
steps the legislator and begins to dis
criminate. In some cases it is made
a high crime to charge even a rea
sonable sum. In other cases it is
ueh a crime to advertise that it is
called "unprofessional" and the ac
cused may be deprived of his right
to pursue his business by somo com
missioners, without judge or-jury.
Could the czar of all theTtussians
exercise a more autocratic power?
Of the 170 laws enacted at the ses
sion of our legislature just closed 137
were of general or special nature
uuiwwere to incorporate towns.
kcal legislation Is generally odious
wd that to incorporate towns and
to do much like work is entirely un
necessary and pernicious. Nearly
every bit of such business should be
done by the people of the counties
wd communities interested through
"Mir respective county courts, under
Provisions of Mm frrmornl urnhirpfl.
This is done in most of tho states
jow and tho sooner wo adopt it tho
"eiter. Had vn onnli nrnvlolnnn
ey would havo saved half
wetimoof the past session which
"Nglit to have been carefully de
fied to a thorough siftlntr and
tlny of every act before passing
" When one reflects on the im
portance of a law, its power and
Iemii dignity it is frightful to see
the
unseemly haste with which
"ne bills are read a first nnd second
ebytltlo, then read onco and
JfyeSf given tho awful dignity
flaws within a fow minutes after
'DK for tlift first. Ilmoawn tipnril
Jt is utter mockery. If a few
'dlaws, u tew Inconvenient laws
are, repealed, modified or revised,
and half a dozen necessary ones are
made during a term of the legisla
ture tho cost is well laid out by the
state. There should bo more dis
cussion of proposed legislation, for
discussion elicits the wisest coun
sels. Everything of a local and
special nature that can properly bo
relegated to tho counties should be
done then.
