The arguments that have been adduced so far, to proVt that credits should not be taxed, have no solid foundation, except an they lead up to an accept ance of the single tax theory. 'Ihen only does a proposal to allow all credits, (which are personal proper ty ns much as any can be,) to escape taxation become defensible. Then only does the proposition rest upon solid ground. To exempt credits from taxes is a part of thp single tax system. There Is no difference in the principle in volved between exempting mort gages, credits, notes or money from taxation and the single tax theory of Henry George, which seeks to put all taxes upon land. The one is a component part of the other. Moneys on hand or on deposit, either within or without the state, debts due or to become due from solvent debtors, whether on ac count, contract, note, mortgage or otherwise, stocks and shares, lu shor', moneys and credits, ate per Mnal property that are taxed In all states in the Union, and except by siugle taxers, or Henry George men, are held to be proierly subject for taxation. The uniform rule of all states is to try to tax credits. The East Ore- gonlan assails this generally recan ted theory. It agrees with the Ore gonian in demanding exemption of all mortgages from taxation. Jt suys, Sep. 23: The mortgage tax law is a hum bug, but the greatest of all humbugs is the law allowing deductions for indebtedness. It has the effect of niukiug taxation a robbery becaure It makes it unequal. The E. O. places itself In the same leaky, easily-swamped boat with the O. Both want the mortgage to be exempt from taxation, and both want the farmer's exemption for debt cancelled. They want tho mortgage owner to be exempt en tirely and the farmer riot at all. Is not this an inconsistency? The curious thing in this matter of a democratic paper agreeing with a republican paper is that they agree for different reasons. 'The East Oregonian says: We ask for the repeal of the mort gage tax law and the law allowing deductions for indebtedness at least, and if the legislature desires to ac commodate tid it will please make the law still more simple, providing for the collection of one tux only the single tax on the value of laud Irrespective of Imprevements: The Oregouain specially declares that it will have nothing to do with the "Single Tax Lunacy." In agreeing that the mortgage should uot be taxed the gentlemen should not get upon such antagonistic platforms. We do not understand that either of the Oregonian newspapers pre tend that the mortgage tax law or the exemption law are unconstitu tional. The constitution of Oregon declares that "the legislative us- "sembly shall provide by law for "uniform and equal rate of assess- "uieut aud taxation; aud says there, "shall be n just valuation of all "property, both real and personal." The arguments against taxing credits are based entirely upou notions of expediency aud until a higher court than that of the people who made the constitution shall ue dare that credits are not personul property, they will have to be taxed in Oregon as in other states. The details of how the assessor shall place valuation upou buoIi personal property may be defective or llublo to abuses, but mortgages aud other credits will have to be taxed 111 Ore gon so long as the present constitu tion stands unaltered and lu force. On being officially apprised of bis nomination the future governor of Houth Carolina was affected to tears.

The press and the people attending have very generally expressed opinion on tho late state fair, and I believe have very generally voted it a success, both as nn exposition of tho agri cultural resources of the Btate and financial management. Bucli re sults are not proper subjects for a atrplng, fault-finding criticism, and what I have to say will not bo mild in that spirit. The writer was nn exhibitor at the first state fair held In Oregon ana was one who helped locate the subsequent fairs at Halem, has been a winner of premiums at all of the thirty fairs held as state fairs, but at two he did not attend. Consequently ho litis n- 'kick' to make. For the last three annual fairs having lieen not only au ex hibitor, but also a member of one of Its awarding committees, which In a more than common degree brings an awarding judge near to causes of discontent, 1 have thought it might be of benefit to lay before the fi lends a ad managers of the institution a knowledge of how people feel in re gard to some points of the manage ment. Conceding that under the meaus adopted this year the pro ductive powers of Oregon farms and farmers were well proven, the ques tion sillt arises, was the exhibit a proof of individual exertion, enter prise and successful labor? Or was it the work of the officers of the state board of ngi culture mainly. Look into the make-up of the flue display Inside the pavilion. Was it made by the aggregated exertion of Individ uals iu spirited contest for the per sonal honor of producing the best in their particular Hues of labor? The truth is it was so but to a very limited extent. The freshest aud best exhibit of individual con! dilu tions were those arranged under the banner of the FntroiiB of Hus bandry, uot for the premiums ofluied but as a sign of the "esprit du corps" of the granges. There were 2(5 con tributors to the grange exhibit. Were there an many as that iu all the rest of the pavilion nf individual contestants for premiums, on the product of the field aud the farmer's home? If tnere were not, why not? The varieties of fruit upon tho graug table were much superior as single specimens to the flue show made by the collection of tho state board of agriculture and orrauged with such flue eflect by Mr. Pretty man. The gruln and grasses of the granger were fully equal to the ex tensive collection of Mr. Wllklns under the name of Lane county, though not iu such variety nor duplicated so repeatedly. The vegetables shown by the grange were equal and in some Important products superior to the flue display procured by Messrs. Savage & Wblt- aker for the State Board of Agrlcul ture. I will instance just oue item; deemtd by British farmers u very important help iu making tho farm pay aud under a system which has turned many gralu farms iu Britain to pasturage aud cattle feed ing, "mangolds." The 1st premium maugold-wurzel beets wore pro duced by a family, the head of which is uuable to read. He did the plow ing, his wife the after care. He was hard to persuade that he had euough to gain by the Oregon Btate fair to justify him in paying 12 SO for a ticket. For though he euliuot read he can count and knows that though he won a premium for the "piggest peets" he paid thirty cents to get to win a $2 premium, which leaves him a loser of eighty cents in the fluunclal contest with the man agement of the state fair gate, "Bee?" I know, gentlemen of the board, that you took hold of the macagemeut of the institution when It was ready to sink with debt and to clear It of (hat load has required many shlft.s I sincerely hope last week's success was such that you can In the future with nu more state aid than you uow get, urnko the entrance to your grounds cheaper, entrance fees for premiums at less price, and by 'encouraging more poor men, like my Dutch friend of the big beet, make future, fairs inoie fields of friendly competition and nurseries of publio spirit and per sonal pride of occupation and lc.-n u public show procured by publio money. Take Capt. Appeison's advice and "take the other end of tho fair from tho race coursu Into consideration." Enough, Mr. Edl (or, in that vein. "Let's turn to the reporter's work who thinks he has 'rtulahed up' tho state fair." Who would have thought 40 years ago that T. C, Shaw, after filling many offices of honor and trust would be a "reporter" ut thin date, and thjnk ho bus finished the report or the late excellent rir with u booming boast of draft horse breed- .era.

Truth to tell, he had uot tnought of himself In that con nection when looking Into tho pens and contemplating the results of 40 years of nn Oregon shepherd's care and labor, yet, the finish-up of the fair found hhn tho owner of a nice llttlo Jierd of Shorthorns. Why, it's almost strange news to him yet, and no doubt it will be to Judgo Shaw when lie rends this. Another Item s from the sheep pens. The first specimen of the "National Dickin son Delaine, mutton wool Merino" was shown, a yearling ram import ed by R.W. Carey, who claims to have imbibed a leaning towards sheep breeding when a boy from Minto's enthusiasm thirty years ago, nnil h.is quite recently become a convert to the wisdom of breeding away from the large horns, many- folded skin and excessive oil and yolk of the Vermont typo of Ameri can Merino, a course Mr. Minto has advocated and followed many years. Hence, "Dick" prizes the fact that his Delaine, sheep Is a muley, though that is exceptional lu the registry he belongs to. He Is im properly entered In competition with frhecp of a diverse aud moie generally bred type, but the breedeis of Oregon are broad-gaugtd enough to stand the Introduction of a new and good thing in their Hue, even under a misnomer. The manage ment of tho fair also made a good step forward In offering a $100 pre mium for the best wool und mutton ram of any bieid, which was not contested for because no definite rules wele made for the contest of so important a premium. A prize of WO was made up by three competi tors, the board giving 2G and it was won by TJavld Craig upon a lately imported Cotswold, a very fine an! mal'of his clas".

Tun fact that the people of Asto lia cannot or will not raise the sub sidy necessary to Insure tbe success of tho eltctric railway project is enough to everlastingly condemn this place in the eyes of the progress ive and enterprising capitalists of this country.

Tho Pomona. Cal., Progress of a re cent issue gives tho result of prune farming theie. Marion county has all the essential qualities for the same or better results. The Progress says: Tho quantity of prunes In Pomona valley aud dried here this season is about 1100 tons. Some people esti mate the quantity at 1200 tons, but the former figures are conservative. The valuo of this crop and amount paid for the labor in picking aud dryiug tho same make prunes worth fully $00,000 to tho valley. Several long experienced fruit growers believe that James Loouey, whoie orchard is out on North Ellen street, wll make over $430 an acre from his prune crop this season. Theie are sixty six-yea1" old prune trees In tho Fredericks orchard that have home $oo0 wotth of fruit this season. From only two acres of prune trees M. P. Itussell has gathered und dried a crop Unit sold ou Mouday for $708, and tho orchard has been shamefully neglected for two years, to. The sixteen aero prune orchard of George Holier, iii the northern part of Pomno.1, yields a crop of about 12 tons. Mr. Roher sold tho crop to aoaunory at $33 u ton ou tho trees.
