THE CRY FOR REFORM.

Under this head the JOURNAL copied
part of astrong editorial from the Ore
gonIan the other day, the balance OF
which appears below:
"Our statutes forbid, under penalty,
that any person having in pOssessi' n
money belonging 10 state, county,town
or other municipal corporation shall
use or lend the same. II is popularity
believed that this has been violated by
state and county officers, and that in
stances almost as public as transactions
Of mortgage loan companies have net
been infrequent. Many Of the states,
among which are Illinois, Wisconsin,,
Iowa, Colorado, ETC., have laws proyid
ing that their several treasurers shall
loan idle moneys of the treasury, under
restriction, at specified rate Of interest,
the interest to be paid to the state.
These laws provide that the money
may be loaned to the banks Of the stale
upon prescribed security, some Of them
limiting the amount to 10 per cent. OF
banks psid-up capital. Some Of
them provide for receiving for the hir'
OF the money, the rate of interest OF
fered to be named in the bid The i'll
coming legislature should provide hS
rigid law for similar loaning by state
and other treasurers, or forbid by Law
even sterner than that already upon
our statute books the taking Of money
from the treasury except in payment OF
the public creditor upon warrant Of the
proper officer. The latter IL the safer
plan.
There is presumed to be lying In our
state treasury over $40O, 900. if not near
one.half million. The two items Of the
jute mill (Sl9O,OOO and Eastern Oregon
asylum ($l65 ,OOO), appropriated and
not expended, alone amount to 1855, 600.
If these moneys are to be loaned 1t
should be done under authority and d.
rection Of law, and for the benefit OF
the state. The treasurers Of some OF
the above mentioned states previous to
the enactment of laws providing for
the investment of the public moneys
loaned them for their personal behoof,
and the interest received has since
been recovered from them by suit OF
the state. Wisconsin during late years
has collected. several hundred thous-
and dollars from its ex-treasurers,
moneys received by them as interest
upon the loaned moneys Of the state.
Never before has an Oregon legisla-
ture had such summons to duty as rests
upon the one that will convene In Jan.
uary. Our whole official system has
been honeycombed with practices
which, TO use no harsher terms, are
burdensome TO the taxpayer and de.
struchve TO the state. Officers are
sought for their emoluments aud
"wOrked for all there is In them" Eek.
travagance, looseDess and recklessnesf
OF expenditure have prevailed in legis-
latlve halls and department Offices. II
should be the business Of this legisla'
ture TO reform these abuses, and put the
state upon career ofhOnesty and econ.
omy such as honored its early years.
The voice OF the people has called II In
TO life for that end, and their eyes are
upon II.
