THR MoRTGAGE TX.

The mortgage tax law is again being
discussed and it is quite probable that
an attempt will be made to have the old
law re-enacted. At the time the mort
gage tax law was repealed we were in
favor of the course. theoretically the
taxing of mortgages is incorrect, but prac-
tically it is all right. Provision should
be made that sthe mortgagor should
pay the tax out of the interest, which
should become credit on the note and
mortgage. It may be said that even
should this be done, the mortgagor would
have the tax to pay, because the lender
would not give up his money until the
arrangement concerning taxes was made.
Theoretically that proposition is also
true, but put in practice it is false.
The money lender in Oregon charges
10 per cent, all the law allows him, and
If the money is loaned on farm lands,
an additional 10 per cent. is paid in the
shape of ''bonus" by the borrower,
The farmer who borrows now pays as a
general thing 20 per cent. a year interest,
or perhaps 81 or %, as the bonus is taken
out in advance. Even at these rates the
farmer is unable to borrow, most of the
time. The money lender will be satisfied
with Is per cent. if the law compels him
to be. 1t may be said that if this is true
the farmer under the proposed law
would be unable to borrow at all. That
might prove true, but if it did it would
be blessing to him. There is no aver
age farming business that will pay 10
per cent. year on the money invested,
and it would be blessing indeed if the
farmer could not borrow at all. The
time would then soon come when money
would accumulate in the hands of the
money lender, and interest would come
down to a basis that the farmers could
use borrowed money. As it is, the
farmer who uses borrowed money, pays
10 per cent. interest, 10 per cent. bonus
and the 2 per cent. taxes is simply on
his way to bankruptcy. The money
lenders, who are willing to lend money
for or per cent. on bonds and gilt
edged personal security, but who will
not lend it on real estate at reasonable
figure, are more responsible for the de-
preston than tariff, free trade or the
demonetization of silver. They are kill
ing the goose that lays their eggs, and as
the effects Of their actions become visi-
BILE they are frightened at themselves,
and redouble their efforts to destroy
themselves.

Tomorrow the political fight will be
settled. at least the first round will be,
and from it both the presidential possi-
bilities in the shape of candidates, and
the political complexion of the next ad-
ministration can be made somewhat
certain. Hill has made a magnificent
fight in New York. but with his party
divided it does not seem possible that he
can win. With New York lost to the
democracy, the chances of victory in '96
will be exceedingly slender.

This is news to US. If the railroad
commission of this state ever did any

The law does need amendments, one of
which is to reduce the number of COM

ENGLISH HARVEST SONGS.
DittIes That Are Sung to Tighten Heavy

Dittles That Are Sung to Tighten Heavy
Labor
When the riclzs are thatched, when
the labor money is paid, when the plow
has turned up the soil carpeted with
grass and stubble, and the harvest
moon has risen and lived her short but
gloriously golden career, then comes the
harvest home and the harvest song. In
England, says the GentleI2an's Maga-
zine, we have the harvest sermon in the
village church, the supper in the barn,
interspersed with many a jest and
many song; and it is of these same
songs, SO typical. of rustic life, that
am going to speak. In those countries
where the vine is cultivated there is no
end to the merriment which follows
the anxious days of moisGCEage. The
fruit is gathered, the wineprcss trod,
the vintage bouquets put together aud
presented to the llselies connected with
the wine farm. and all the time there
is perfect festival of song, simple and
bright and full Of harmony.
In Tuscany, in Franco, in Germany,
and in Russia, there are numbers of
harvesting songs, all more or less full
of poetry, and instinct with charming
melody; therefore we should like to

behind in this matter of harvest sing
ing, although the gleanings are not
associated with the romance of the
grape. Unfortunately, harvest suppers,
and harvest songs with them, are dy-
ing out, and the sooner we preserve
any glamour of characteristic humor or
pathos they may have owned the bet
ter.
AS the sailors chanties were used to
Tighten the labor of hauling and heav-
ing before the days of the steam winch
and patent capstan, so were the har-
vesters' songs required to help the
reapers and the cleaners in the times
when the sickle had not even given
place to the broad hook, much less to
the machine. The harvest supper was
always an occasion for the singing of
good, old-fashioned songs, of which
each man had his own repertoire,
which he gave untiringly year after
year. Such standard works as ''John
Barleycorn,' 80 ''Carrion Crow, - and ''The
Farmers Boy" are, or rather were, an
indispensable part of the harvest-home
supper.

The Eugene Guard, in commenting on
the death of the czar, says that his sue
cessor, Nicholas II, ''has a grand oppor-
tunity before him in becoming the
emancipator of a great nation, if he so
DESIRES" Very true; but the sensible
ruler will hesitate long time before he
goes into the emancipating business.
Ancient history is, filed with examples
of the disastrous results of benefting
the human race, and the pages of sacred
history tell the same story. Nor need
we 60 to remote ages to learn the mourn
full fate of the humanitarian and eman-
cipator. The grandfather of the present
czar freed IL ,0OO,O 900 of serfs, and died
by the hands of an assassin and SUBJ
ject. Our own grand Lincoln. went to
heaven with the shackles of 5000, 900
slaves in his hands, his earthly career
cut short by an assassin. Dom Pedro
allowed his humane feelings to lead him
into giving the 100000 of slaves in
Brazil their freedom, and was banished
from his country by them. The good
Nicholas may have grand opportunity
to benefit humanity, but if he has any
regard for himself and Princess Alix he
will not try it. The road to Siberia is
long and dreary, but Nicholas can choose
either to continue to make others travel
the road. or by giving token of human
ity, travel 1t himself

Driving windmiIIs by Electricity.

A novel departure has been taken by
the owner of windmill at Bremen,
Germany. Hitherto it has been the
custom to use windmills in conjunction
with dynamos for the generation of
electricity, more especially for lighting
purposes, in places remote from regu-
lar supply of current, and some most
successful installations of this kind
have been made. The owner of the
German windmill proposes to reverse
this process, and instead of making his
windmill drive a dynamo he will use
an electric motor, connected with the
town electric mains, for driving his
machinery when a calm prevails.
