PEERLESS IOWA.

According to the full official govern
ment report Of the grain production of
the United States 10 1892, Kansas stood
first IN production Of wheat with 20, S31,. I.
600 bushels, Minnesota second with Al :
10000 bushels and California third
with 80. Isl, 600 bushels. The crop Of
Kansas rivaled the combined crops Of
the next two states, aud exceeded the
greatest yield previously recorded for
any state in the union.
In corn Iowa carries the hammer,
with crop Of over 200, ,OOO, 900 bushels,
Illinois coming second with over 1885,
600 900, Nebraska third with over l57,
OO0, 900, Missouri fourth about l42, 1000,
600 and Kansas fifth with about 146,-
OOO, 900. Indiana comes next long off
with 1O3, 100000.
In oats Iowa again leads with crop
Of about 95, 900, ,OOO bushels, Illinois sec
ond with 100000, Wisconsin third
with 81, 600, 900, Kansas fourth with A
600 900 and Nebraska sixth with AZ, ,0O0,- :
OOO.
On the three principal grain crops
Iowa is the first state in the Union
with grand total of 900, 600, 900 bushels,
Illinois is secoad with 28S 600, 600, Kan
sas third with 26O O00,OO0, Nebraska
fourth with zl5, 100000, Missouri fifth
with 1S2,OO0,0OO, Indiana sixth with
1876, ,000, 600, and Ohio seventh with l4S,-
OOO, 900.
The approximate value of the three
crops places Iowa first with total val
ue at home Of SOS, 900 600; Illinois sec
ond, $l06, 100000; Kansas third, $780,
900, 900; Nebraska fourth, $73, 200, 600
Missouri fifth, $65 100000.
From the comparisons, which hold
good with some varieties for the last
i've years, Iowa deserves to rank as the
first agricultural state in the Union
with Illinois and Kansas close second
and third aud Nebraska next at con
siderable distance In the rear, Th'

THAT SPECIAL SESSION.

Salem legislators who feel quite sure
the state needs no extension
Of the stay law, viewed from
their own dunghill Of prosperity. UL-
doubtedly It is true that there are not
many foreclosures cn farms 10 the
richest section Of Marion county, where
the farmers have variety Of resources
and the banks are able to carry them.
Here the business man is the greatest
sufferer, and possibly more In need OF
stay of executions than the farmer.
Unless money is got into circulation
in some way merchants are going to
fail.
If our good times tOoters win extend
their vision out over the thinly settled
parts of the state, where crops are light
aud where people rely upon one or two
things, and with low prices and high
interest, and taxes are high, they
would take more charitable view Of
things. or course, the lawyer looks
With eomplacency upon the possibility
II here and there an execution now
aud then, as he is always sure of his
fee.
A law reducing the costs of getting
executions, which are now about Sc
per cent, on loans of $400 or $500,
would be just as valuable as stay law
Il not more SO. BY the time lawyers,
sheriffs, clerks and commission brokers
nave all added their fees an execution
Is nearly doubled. That is the feature
that kills. That Ia the feature that en-
riches the lawyer and impoverishes the
unfortunate debtor Of whom we see
compal atively little In this rich Viii
annette valley.

ANOTHER ELEMENT,

The Salem papers seem engaged In
an end,av to cAjole County Treasurer
Malarkey into draining his ready
money fund for the benefit Of the
states Salem expenditures. There are
other elements In the tax than the stale
levy, and with just as urgent need Ia
the county's functions. Mr. Malarkey
knows too much about the market bust
ness TO make fish OF one aud fowl of
another.-oregonian.
The state treasurer's ready money
fund Is purely myth of the Oregon
Ian. No such fund exists. $262, 900
that should be ready money in the state
treasury, state tax that was collected
Off the people Of Multnomah county,
has been swallowed up In the suspended
Portland banks. IL was paid out 10
meet the runs Of depositors as far as II
would 60.
There IL another element ia the situ-
alton that the oregonian refers 10, "the
eounty's functions" Those functions
are seriously interfered with by the
fact that from $500. 700 10 $500, 900 Of
city and county taxes have also cisap-
peared, Sl40. 900 Of school taxes likewise
went out Of sight. II Portland has TO
20 without schools for year, aud
county government Is reduced to sys-
temailc warrant scalping, who will be
20 blame2 Not the banks, nor Mr.. Ma
lnrkey; oh. no. The ignoarnt foolish
taxi payers who comply with the Law to
the letter aud cent for cent, they will
be the ones who ought 10 be censured.
In the meantime the OregoniAn has
remedy. II wants depoaitors 10 take
lmo certificates. As public funds were
realed as deposits, II Is presumed d
bat state, county, city and school die
Iiet will set some big time certificates. ;

The Union Pacific now leads with re-
duced rates to eastern points, and their

daily at 8:45 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The

THE NORTH PACIFIC TROUBLE.

People on the outside can know little
Of the real course of the N. p. Ry. Co.
going into the hands of receiver. 1t
is q calamity to the North Pacific Coast
In one way; 1t interferes with extern
sion of any transcontInentall lines with
European capital, without which they
cannot be built.
1t may be a scheme TO unload all
government obligations and certain
stockholders. But absence of divi'
dends, produced by Improbable traffic,
probably had great deal to do with 1t.
1t Is q good time to go into receiver

Improbable agreements with competi-
tors aud is cause for greater economy.

THE REAL CAUSE.

The real cause of local bank failures
in this state can justly be laid at the
doors of the suspended banks Of Port
Ind.
They had $292,O of the peoples
taxes belonging to the state.
They had $4,000 Of the peoples
taxes belonging to the Portland schools.
They had $780, of MIltnomah
county taxes.
They had several hundred thousand
dollars city taxes.
They have swallowed these sums tO
use mild figure of speech. II they
had this money that they should have
not bank in Oregon would have
failed.
II Salem banks had done such a
thing 1t would have been called a
shame and disgrace all over the state.

NO CITY SUPERINTENDENT.

The Salem. school board has as yet
chosen no city superintendent of
schools. 1t is broadly hinted in news
papers and by those informed that one
will be employed. The JOURNAL has
been receiving letters and endorsement
from hundreds of citizens who say they
are confident the schools could run Ne
we'll without this office as with it. The
city superintendent does not take n
room and teach as in other cities. We
dislike to urge this proposition as
against all the other newspapers of the
city aud some of the board but goodna
turedly we have presented the views OF
those who think with more authority
in the hands of the principal of each
school, and perhaps one head principal
who is actively and practically identi-
fed with the school work of the city,
would be productive Of better results
than, to bring In some one from abroad
at present even upon low salary. A
city superintendent who does not teach
is luxury the people cannot afford
AS for hiring one at $500 year to run
the thrashing machine for the whole
city, as one of the newspapers suggests,
might not be 80 bad if he had some
authority to administer corporal pun
ishment to incompetent teachers az
well as to disobedient pupils.
