ter tho flmt commissioner woro ap
pointed, they wero to bo elected;
but by act of 1889 they are made ap

this bill seeks to obviate, which con

There was no room for hereditary

Itep Hull spoke for tho bill. He
mudo no charge of fraud, but evl

In tlio act of 1880.
In 1800 Simon reco'ved 200 votes
and held a certificate or elections,
and to avoid all legal controversy,
Ills election Is recognized In this bill
until an election can bo held. The
only question was, shall the people
or Portland have right to ehoote
their own police board, or shall it
bo made perpetual with all thu pow
era or tho czar of llussla. Tho police
of Portland nlleeted tho politics of
tho wholu state, and. formed the
busts of u political machine, tint hud
Its ramifications all over Oregon,
and was an immense power in the
hands of politicians fur revenue
only, which placed tho gamblers
and vicious elements of Portlund
upon a par with tho clean and re

Capitalists ami Leading llusinesi Men
Discuss the Importance of Willa
mette University.
About two dozen of the leading
capitalists and business men of Sa
lem met in the parlors of the Capi
tal National bunk lost night to take
some steps toward putting the
Willamette university on a liriDii
clal basis, and providing n ntutal.lt
location where ample ground cum
hud for a cumpu", that will not
only fill the present demands but
for all further wants in that line.
W.J. Herren was chosen chulrmun
of the meeting and O. M. Smith
secrelury.
' Geo. P. Hughes was called on to
state the object of the meeting. He
responded by giving the exact finan
cial situation of the school and its
present needs. Mr. Hugliesis secie
tary of the hoard of trustees and
keeps a record of all money received
und paid out und fully understands
the wants of tho school. He spoke
of what the citizens hud done for
the school and what it hud done for
Ibotn in rr'urn; and that many sac
rifices hud been mudeby thu friends
of the University to hold it in Ha
lem. lie said that men In tho chy
who had not given much thought to
tile school while everything ws
moving along quietly are now tak
ing a deep interest in the retaining
of the institution at Salem, and
they are willing to work for tliut
end.
Dr. Bowlttnd, Judge Henry nud
others spoke iu favor of the citizens
taking the matter in hand and mak
ing tho Willamette a grat school.
Judge Henry said lie cuine to Salem
for the reason that tlio University ii
here ami that .Salem is tlio onl.s
proper home for tlio school.
The uuanlmou-i voice of those
present last night was that the citi
zens should rally around (In; school
and give a strong support. The
following resolution was adopted by
a unanimous vote.
"Hesolved, thai we, as citizens of
Salem, realize the inportunce of
the WIMiuuetto university to this
community, and realize its need for
more educational facilities, and be
lieve It our duty to use all legiti
mate means to place that institu
tion lu u position to meet the de
mauds beiiig made upon it."
Messrs. Judge Henry, II. W. Cottle
and 10. M. Wailu were appointed a
committee to devise ways and means
to carry cut the intent of tho meet
ing. The uhuhmuu, W.J. Horreii,
was added to tin committee us
chairman of th..' body. The meet
ing then udji.rti'.ied to ni.vl nt the
eall of the ehaiiuian.
I) iKSV'T KlT.AK WhM.. The
steamer Olympian which was tak
en oil the Columbia river and put
on tlio Sound route will iiguln be
put on the Columbia Travel Is said
to bu very light on the sound and
there are more boats than are need
ed. Tho Olympian will bo brought
back for extt nslvo repahs which
will probably uot be completed for
several weeks, at w hleli time there
will bo need for a Seaside but, and
If the water is too low at llwaco for
the Olympian the T. J. Potter will
probably be biought back to go on
the Minimer run hctwun Portland
and seanide. Captain Doig, who
will hi log the Olympian around, has
made several similar trins between
Pugctouud and tlio Columbia, ami
If the lto.it Is ready when lie reaches
Seattle, bu will probably have her
lu the Columbia hy Saturday. These
are two of the largest boats on tbe
northern inland wateis and their
being brouglit back to Oregon waters
suiely does not speak well for the
boom ellUn of Washington. Oregon
has a more steady and natural
growth than bur sitter over the Col
umbia, and from this reason she is
more healthy.

Tills proviso at tlio ond of this sec

many, and would, ton great extent,
defeat the operation of tills act.
What the shippers of this state aru
now sintering from is excessive local
rates, as compared with low rates
granted to shhuters without tho

lHimtlon system at present Is to give
all the advantage of low rates to
long haul ami competitive points,
hence discriminations :ignins.t iiianu

Taxing Notes nnd Moitgages.
Euitoh JouitSAi.: I wish,
through your valuable paper, to
give my views on u subject, the un
derstanding of which I deem of the
utmost importance in furthering I
the prosperity of Oregon. I refer to
the taxation of the evidences of
debt. The law as nt present on the
statute books distinctly states that
money, notes und mortgages shall
be taxed. To show how unjustly
the law works I wish to cito you an
instance.
I lived in Wasco county aud had
two thousand dollars. I loaned It
to a man iu Marion county taking
his note and mortgage. The asses
sor called ou me to clve a list of my
money, notes, etc., and I listed, a
iu duty bound, the two thousuna
dollar note. The assessor of Marion
county assessed the mortgage to me i
in Aluriou county, ami i paw, be
cause I strictly followed the law, on
four thousand dollars worth of prop
erty, i hud occasion to examine
the tax return of the gentleman to
whom I loaned the two thousand
dollars nnd I found this condition or
ufi'uirs: The property upon which I
held a two thousand dollar mort
gage, wen worm nve tuousauu,
dollars assessed at two thounnd five
hundred dollars, and I found no
money returned, (now what became
of that two thousand dollars I
loaned?) and a deduction of two
thousand dollars; consequently on
account of the five thousand dollars
nearly all escaping taxation the rate
ou my mortgage was made that
much hiirher. Now, then, I was
honest, too honest in fact, and so I
sullered, and the rogue escaped. In
order for me to prosper I must also
bo a rogue as I do not wish to be a
rogue my only remedy is to loan my
money where it receives just and
honest;treatnient through the laws,
which I cannot get in Oregon.
I now wish to call your readers'
attention to the equity of taxing
only property, nnd making no de
ductions of any kind for debt. To
make this matter plain, to the think
ing reader I oiler an Illustration
which must be carefully considered.
else my train of thought cannot be
followed. I have three thousand
dollars iu cash, gold or silver coin,
which I consider property, and as
such taxable. That three thousand
dollars is worth eight cents on every
dollar for use. I am using It, therefore
it is worth eight cents to ni", and
the assessor should assess it at three
thousand dollars; no more, no less.
I now make a voluntary exchaug
of that three thousand dollars for a
farm, believing that I can earn eight
per cent off the farm. An argu
ment introduced hero that the farm
will not earn eight per cent is no
argument because I enteied into the
exclninge voluntarily, therefore T
am supposed to know my business
as well as those who make such
statements. I have now exchanged
one class of property for another,
and am no richer, co poorer; for my
farm will earn me a leturn of eight
per cent us well as tho money. 1
now borrow one thousand dollars, 1
then huyo four thousand dollars
worth of property, and should pay
taxes on the four thousand dollars of
value. Iu borrowing this money I
hnply overdrew my account at my
Jiaiik one thousand dollars and con
soqueutly have given no note, but
ilio bank charges me eight per cent
interest. Now then what injustice
is there in my paying taxes ou that
four thousand dollars worth of
value? Now then I give the bank
a note, but have I cliauged our rela
tive positions any as possessors of
property? 1 go still fuither nnd
give the bauk a mortgage on my
farm, but have I changed the posi
tion of tho pove.ilon of the prop
erty ? A junt law would make me
pay on the four thousand dollars
worth of property I own, nud it
would be a practical law since tho
Mntetisses-csoiily propertyond I own
all tho property in the transaction.
Thepresent law, however, says since
I borrowed the money of the bank,
the bunk shall toudur a return of
the nntount (no note or mortgage
tnkun)nud pay taxes ou it. What
is the conseqtioneu? I pay to the
bauk a higher rate to cover tlmt
amount and am no gainer. Since I
deduct the one thotuand from the
four thoiiBuud tho statu is no gainur
in taxes, hut allows the property
which I hold to ocape and holds ilie
hank for the tax because it holds me.
Since only property should bo taxed,
the state departs from a fixed princi
ple of taxing the property, and
taxes the Individual, and should the
Individual walk over the state line
no tax eau be collected. The true
principle lu this quurtiou of taxa
tion Is io tax property ouly, and real
state aud perMMial property are the
ouly two clasis, and any law mak
ing pefefliial property real-ostate. or
making tbe deed to property the
property iWelfU otiuoxloue.unequal,
