THD OREGON PACIFIC
Mr.. Hammond Talks Freely of
His Intentions.
ExTENTloNs CONTEMPLATED
Everything Depends However on
the Decision of the Supreme
Court-0ther News.
Associated rregs.

Albany, Or, April S.-A. b. Ham
mond, one of the purchasers of the
Oregon Pacific Railroad, arrived in the
city today, and will make tour of in
speotion of the entire road. He said
Mr. Bonner had withdrawn from the
Astoria enterprise, but Is stiIl equally
interested with him in the Oregon Pa
cific. The company viii be reorgan-
lied as soon, he said, as the papers
for che Incorporation of the new COM
pany, now being prepared, are ready.
1t will be known as tine Oregon Central
and Eastern Railway. Mr. Hammond
is naturally pleased THAT the new sur
vey has been ordered ait Yaquina, and
ilcs confidence THAT this harbor will
receive just recognition and appre-
citation for further Improvement.
AS to the new company's plans, Mr.
Hammond said; Our actions are han
dicapped by the appeal pending in the
supreme court, but If that is decided
satisfactorily, we win first put THE
road in first class condition, then will
come the question of extensions. If
we find the business win justify we win
build branches to both Eugene and Sa-
lem AS to the eastern extension we
will build that also as fast as business
will justify and expect eventually to
connect with one OF the through east
ern lines. l was told in Portland that
the eastern end of the road did not
amount to much, but instead Of this
being the case, / cam truthfully say
THAT no radlroad of the same length in
the United States or elsewhere offers
SO much tonnage I'm sight as does that
part of the Oregon Pacific between AL
bany and its present terminus. There
is in the timber region up the Santiam
nine or ter billion feet of timber. There
is a great lumber industry to be de-
veloped there, and 1T is a part of our
plan to undertake this, which will re-
quire better wharfage In San Francis.
co and the charterlng of line Of
steam schooners from Yaquina. We
have abundant capital to carry out
our plans, but cannot so ON with them
except in a limited way until the ap-
peal case Is settled. We expect to
build some each year until we finally
carry out our plan for eastern connec,
tion. I have had reports from East
ern Oregon, and realize that great traf-
hc across the mountains awalts the ad-
vent of the railroad"

sUPRDME COURT DIssENTED.
The Income Tax Law Is Really I'm.
constitutional.

Washington, April S.-Chief Justice
Fuller handed down the decision in
the income tax case today. 1t finds
THAT the tax on RENTS or landed in
vestment is direct taxation, and un-
constitutional. The court next decided
the tax unconstitutional so far as II
related to incomes from state, county
or municipal bonds. 1t next ruled the
fact the law, pronounced unconstitu-
tlonal in those two particulars, did
not invalidate the law as whole. 1t
is announced THAT in this latter con-
cluslon the court was equally divided
and therefore rendered no opinion, a
lower Count having ruled in favor of
the law by divided court, the law
would stand except as TO rents, and
state, county, and municipal bonds, and
ON these two points 1T was directed
that the Judgment be now reversed.
Justice Filed read his dissenting
opinion. He said: 81 am of the opin-
ion that the whole law of 1894 is null
and void" He was followed by Justice
White In a second dissenting opinion.
Justice Field laid great stress upon
the fact THAT THE law does not exempt
judges of the limited States courts from
payment of tax Justice Whites dis
sent was largely eXtemporaneous and
very long Apparently he favored up
holding the whole law. Justice Har-
Ian followed Justice White in dis
senting opinion, and the case closed.
Nothing was said as to how any OF
the judges stood save the three who
read dissents.
Justice Field, the oldest member OF
the court, in his dissenting opinion,
said:
The income tax law under consider
alton is marked by discriminating fea-
tures which will affect the whole law.
1t discrtminates between those who
receive am income of $4,000 and those.
who do not. 1t thus vitiates, in my
Judgment, by this arbitrary distrdmina-
ton, the whole legislation. Whenever
distinction is made in the burdens a
law imposes or the benefits 1t confers
on any citizen by any reason of their
birth, wealth, or religion, It is class
legislation and leads inevitably to op-
preston and abuse and to general un-
rest and disturbance in society. 1t
is hoped and believed THAT the great
amendment Ito the constitution which
followed the late civil war had rem
dered such legislation impossible for
all future time. But the objectionable |
Legislation reappears in the act under
consideration 1t is THE same An essen,
tial character as the English statute |
of 1851 which taxed the Professionals at |
a certain rate, Catholics as class at I
double the rate of Protestanlts, and |
Jews ait another and separate rate.
Justice Field concludes: "If the pro.
visions Of the constitution can be set |
aside by an act Of congress-, where is
the course OF usurpaltlon Ito end? The
present assault upon capital Is but the
beginning. 1t win be the steppingstone
to others larger and more sweeping,
until our political contests wlll become
a war of the poor against the rich, a
war constantly growing In intensity
and bitterness.

TREASURY OFFICIALS BLUE.
They Calculate that Half the Income
Tax Revenue Is Gone.

Washington, April S.-rhe treasury
officials are greatly dlspirtted over the
supreme courts decision on the income
tax case, and while admitting that
they have no Reliable data upon which
to form am accurate estimate. they ex-
press the belief THAT the net result OF
the decision will be loss of at least
80 per cent of the receipt from the In
comes. In most cities the loss viii be
far greater than this, notably the city
Of Washington, where the loss is ex-
pected to reach rs per cent. Wash
ington, however. is exceptionally a
renting city. The proposition of the
rented houses in other cities OF the
country is also very large. In 1890 the
rented houses in New York City were
nearly "a per cent OF the whole.

ANOTHER IMMENSE CROWD
Greeted DIR. Tracey, at the Hearn Taberna-
Gle, Last Evening.

Greeted DR. Tracey, at the Hearn Taberna-
Gle, Last Evening.
DR.. Tracey delivered two lectures
upon the general subject Of temperance,
at the Hearne Tabernacle, yesterday,
the first during the afternoon, TO talr
audience, and the second last evening
to a house which was crowded back TO
the stairway. Many persons were com
PEELED to stand throughout the even
ing.
The afternoon lecture was to moth
ers and wives exclusively, and was
peculiarly valuable address. He dwelt
upon a number of topics outside OF the
purely temperance question, but sull
the major portion of his remarks, as a
matter of course, related to that theme.
Last evening the Doctor spoke AT
length upon the effects of alcohol upon
the human system, prefacing ms re-
marks with the statement, often heard,
that alcohol in some OF its many forms
had saved thousands of lives. lie
thought this must be on the principle
referred to by the school boy in his
essay on pins, when he said they mad
saved thousands from death. Asked
how this had been accomplished, the
boy answered: by not swallowing
them" The Doctor thought that for
every life saved by alcohol, he could
bring graveyard statistics to show
that nine hundred and ninety-nine lives
had been lost by reason of the poison.
He referred to the common use OF liquor
in some form for diseases, and said 1t
was not a remedy for most OF them.
In fact. he said alcohol was OF Deneht
incidentally in but two cases. one
was TO stimulate the action of the heart
and the other was to prevent the vast
ing of tissue. a suggestion that 1t was
good for snake bite brought out the as
sertion from the Doctor that IN that
case LIQUOR was only used as poison
to counteract the effects Oh another
poison. CT. 90
The lecturer went into the effects OF
alcohol upon the human system with
considerable detail, and was closely 1ol-
lowed.
He will lecture again this evening.
On Sunday there will be two lectures
ut the Grand Opera House, the AFTER
noon talk being for men only.
