Mr.. COOPER'S TAX LAW.

Individuals should be taxed only on
their net worth. Tax on debt is double
taxation and double taxation is uncon-
stitutional. Senator Carter's mortgage
tax law will eradicate only a portion of
the present evil. 1t is class legislation
because it only permits the deduction of
indebtedness of record. The man who
gives chattel or personal security is
entitled to the same privileges and rights
of exemption as is the man who secures
his debts with real estate The bill intro
duced by Representative Cooper has this
object in view and should receive favor
able consideration. After the usual pro-
vision for assessment of real property,
the bill provides that it shall be the duty
of the assessor to deduct the amount of
Indebtedness within the state, of any
person assessed, from the amount of his
or her taxable property, but no such
Indebtedness shall in any case be deduct
ed unless it be real, bona fde indebted
| ness, due from the person assessed
as principal debtor, and not on
account of any contingent liability, as
surety, endorser, or otherwise; and in
case two or more parties, as principal
debtors, are jointly or severally liable for
| the payment of any such Indebtedness,
neither of them shall be entitled to the
deduction of any greater portion of it
! than the proportion each debtor bears to
the whole uumber of such debtors, to
the effect that only the amount of indebt-
edness shall he deducted in favor of all
such debtors, nor shall a deduction be
made in favor of any person, assessed,
unless he or she delivers to the assessor
written statement duly sworn to, speci-
flying the name and place of residence of
the creditor, the nature OF the debt, the
names of other parties, if any, who are
liable therefor, and which statement shall
show that the debt, or portion thereof
sought to be deducted, has not been
deducted in any other county or place in
| the state from the assessment of such
person for that year; and in case such
statement is found to be false to the
knowledge of the party who made it, or
that such party has wi11fu1ly or reck1essly
made false statement in such case for
the purpose of obtaining deduction of
indebtedness, such party shall be deemed
guilty of perjury, and shall be liable to
the pains and penalties therefor.

ALsEA JoTTINGS.

We are enjoying beautiful weather now.
There will be a basket social and literary
entertainment at the north school house
Saturday evening. All are invited.
The woman's suffrage question was dis
cussed at the debate week ago Saturday,
and was decided in favor of the affirmative.
Although there are no certificate holders
in this section, there was general rejoicing
when the people heard the o. P. sale was
confirmed.
The first run of sawlogs was sent to the
bay on the last raise in the river. But two
logs were lost This trial was so successful
that the contractors will Immediately make
arrangements to procure more timber and
will go into the business extensively next
winter.
The frequent echo of the blasting on the
new south road reminds us that there is in
dustry in our section. From those engaged
in the work, we learn the boys are making
good headway, considering that few Of them
had ever seen hole drilled in rock.
Many Of the holes are sunk to depth OF
eight feet. The force is expected to be in
creased this week.
In the matter Of the appointment Of re-
gent for the o. A. c., we think it would be
well for the governor to appoint farmer.
Mr.. Bryson or Mr.. Yates are either well
qualified, but we think there are about
lawyers and doctors enough on the board to
manage the farmers school.

MR. NAsH,s CHORAL.

By invitation of its members, . number
sf Corvallis people listened to the rendition
Of several choruses by the choral society,
under the direction of w. Clifford Nash, at
the old college chapel last Friday evening.
II proved the musical event of tho year. In
fact, on this occasion was heard the best
chorus singing ever produced 10 this city.
The work throughout, evidenced careful and
intelligent supervision, and the rendition Of
each of the FIVE selections was almost perfect.
The rythm was we'll moduated and the at
tack in each chorus was especially noticeable
for its evennsss and power. The only criti.
cism to bs made of the work, was slight
tendency to disregard tbs pianissimo pas
sages in the Good night" chorus. yet withal
this number was well received. Mr.. Nash
to rest the singers, rendered several piano
selections during the evening in his usua
splendid style, which added much to thu
pleasure of those present. The program
rendered was as follows:

MONDAY MORNINGS FIRE.

The first fire, attended with serious loss,
that has occurred in Corvallis for many
months, broke out at 4:3O Monday morning,
In the grocery store of Pearse, Clark & 20.
Owing to the early hour, the fire was un-
noticed until it had gained considerable
headway. Before the arrival of the fire de-
partment, the flames had communicated to
the adjoining buildings. Notwithstanding
that the buildings on the corner of the
block are all frame structures, only the one
occupied by Pearse, Clark & Co. was en-
tirely consumed. The other buildings were
a vacant saloon on one side and the Palace
saloon, occupied by Ben Woldt, on the
other. During the last Is years, this cor.
ner has been three times visited by de.
structive fire. The premises occupied by
Peafse, Clark & Co. and Ben Woldt, were
owned by J. E. Sorbin, The Dalles, who
sustained loss of about 81 500, with $3.50
insurance. Woldt lost 500 worth oi
stock, on which he had no insurance.
Pearse, Clark & Co. 's loss on fixtures and
stock will be $4,000, insured for So, 500.
The loss of Mr.. Zeis will be 5000; no IN
surance. The official records of County
Treasurer Clark were in the safe of Pearse,
Clark & Co., which, on being opened
Monday afternoon, showed the books to
have received no injury. The fire is
supposed to have been of incendiary origin
and, but for the gallant work Of the fire.
men, under the cool and eficisnt direction
of Chief Whitehorn, the entire block would
probably have been consumed. During
the confagration, Sam Case was severely
burned about the face and hands, from an
explosion of powder. and Solly Smiths
leg was broken by his falling through q
trap door in Skipton's stable.

IT has been limited that an effort would
be made during this session of the legis-
lature to change Benton county from the
second to the third judicial district which
now includes Linn, Marion and Polk
counties. Such change is really needed
to facilitate legislation. The second dis
trict is too large and scattered. It COM
prises Lincoln, Benton, Lane, Douglas,
Coos and Curry counties Comprising
such large territory necessitates deal
of travelling and consequent loss of time
on the part of the judge, besides often
delaying litigation and causing attorneys
much unnecessary inconvenience. The
courts of the third district are now pre-
sided over by two competent jurists-
Judges Burnett and Hewitt By inc1ud-
ing Benton county in their jurisdiction

organized from a geographical stand

TIE Oregonian thinks the men who
vent into the caucus and then voted in
the house against the nominee ought not
to have gone into caucus. That is prob
ably true. Indeed, no caucus should
have been held this year. There was no
need of it. The legislature is overwhelm-
tngly republican and there was no prob
ability of any one but republican being
elected. The senators and members OF
the house are representatives and they
ought not to conceal their votes. Each
vote should be open for the inspection OF
constituents. In the caucus the vote was
secret one except in few instances
where Mr.. Dolph's managers were per
tnitted to inspect the ballot just as il
dropped into the hat.-Hillsboro Inde.

JUDGE HUFFORDS SALARY.

w. S. Huford, our county judge, is at
Salem working for the reelection of
Dolph. The only business he ought to
have before the legislature is to ask that
his salary be reduced to six hundred dol
lars. His time and services entitle him
to no more than that sum. The county
judges of the state met in convention at
Portland and resolved in favor of econo-
my as regards other county officials.
The question of their own exorbitant sal
aries was not raised. They also favored
a reduction of witness and juror fees and
mileage in justice and county courts.
These resolutions cost Benton county
SI4, that being the amount of the bill
allowed by the court for judge Huhord's
railroad fare and hotel bill while attend
ing said convention 1t is not yet known
whether he will put i'll his bill to the
county for his expenses to Salem in the
interests of Dolph or not
Mr.. Hufford was elected as a Judge;
not as legislator. Our representatives
do not need his personal assistance. He
is a remarkably ambitious man, with
some native shrewdness. But it is lam
entable display of bad taste for one in
his official position to make such public
profession of his zeal for senatorial can
didate towards whom the people who
elected him have widely diverging opin-
ions, to say the least This is not
clever way to secure advancement Oh
the bench. Mr.. Hufford, before the
election, announced himself in favor q
reducing the salary of the county Judge
to six hundred dollars. Since then there
has been careful and studiou, silence
on his part upon that subject The peo
pie demand that their representative
take action in this matter.
The GAZETTE has noting against Mr.
Hufford personally. 1t is republican
paper and as such assieted in the elec
ton of Mr.. Hufford, who was OH the re
publican ticket last spring But he is
public official and his official acts ar
subject to public criticism. He has n,
right to attempt to influence the 1egis
lators by means of the power which
his judicial position might give him. I
public office should not be publ

WHEN a body of men seek out one
business from the many and attempt to
say what the proprietor of such business
shall receive for the commodities he is

Using space of newspaper is the goods,
wares, and merchandise of its proprietor
jrst the same as a stock of groceries,
boots and shoes, or general merchandise
1s to storekeeper. No one will for a
moment contend that the Legislature has
power to regulate the selling price of the
latter commodities. Then, what right
has that body to say what compensation
the printer shall receive for his advertis-

feature of the bill it does not provide
adequate remuneration for the service
required. If the bill were amended,
however, so as to read "and for each
additional insertion five cents per line, +"
there would probably not be such serious
objections to its passage. But If it is left
as it is the measure should suffer defeat
