The second year of President Nc
Kinley's administration is drawing to
a close, yet there is no financial legis-
lation enacted, and there win bs none
at this session of congress, it having
been announced that action on the
McCleary bill had been abandoned.
No wonder some of the radical gold
standard people are getting dis
pruntled.

Senator Daly's bill to amend and re-

Is one of those which had about as we'll

it pretends to be measure to prevent
the granting of a monopoly to any firm

suspicious features along this line.

TOO MANY BILLS.

The legislature is not needing the
admonitiOn of Governor Geer with
reference to exploiting business by
placing a reasonable limit upon the
number of bills introduced. Already
the record has been broken in the
number of bills introduced, over
300 having been presented.
The legislators have taken the bits
in their teeth and appear to be rum
ming away with legislation, piling up
bills in the state printing Office until
that department is ''snowed under"
with copy.
That large number of the bills in
troduced are frivolous and useless will
b rlly be denied by even the men whs
introduce them. No one imsgines that
we need 800 new laws, or that our
statutes are 80 defective as to require
such Wholesale amending. But all
these proposed new laws must run the
gauntlst of committees, and few of
them viii. see the light of final action,
for they will never be reported back to
the house in which they were intro
duced, so the state statutes will not be
encountered with them.
Still the good Judgement of legisla-
tors should dictate that they practice
greater economy in the Introduction
of bills; that nothing be proposed that
does not possess merit, for it is waste
of time and money to pile up lot of
proposed new laws that are not needed
and stand no show of passing. Had
the legislature followed Governor
Geer's advice, and attempted less legis-
lation, the terms work might have
been finished inside the constitutional
limit of time, but now there is little
probability that half the necessary
work will be finished.

There are Objectionable features
about the proposition to refund county
debts that should be taken into con-
sideration by the legislature before
either of the bills now pending are
acted upon. One of the most objec-
tionable features about the proposition
is that. should the debts be refunded
and taken up, the counties would be
compelled to pay interest on the
accrued interests on warrants that
have been standing for long
length of time, whereas, under the
present system the interest is only ac-
cumulative. For instance, if county
has an Indebtedness say of $50, 900 on
which there is due $4,000 interest, it
would be necessary to borrow $4,000
to meet the debt, and the county would
be compelled to pay interest on $50, 900
instead of $4,000. 1t would hardly be
possible to borrow money at such
low rate of interest as to make saw.
ing possible, therefore it is probably
as we'll that authority be not given to
counties to refund their debts.

A NATIONAL NEED.

America has an immense foreign
trade, amounting to about 81 $50, ,OOO. 600
annually, but large part of the profits
arising therefrom are consumed in the
payment of freight to foreigncountries.
In the carrying of our commerce ships
earn over $500, 900 year, and less than
10 per cent of this goes to American
ship owners. This amount paid outan-
nually to foreign corporations is drain
upon the wealth of the country that
cannot always be borne. 1t will he
source of sapping up our wealth until
eventually it will all be gone unless
checked by the building of American
ships.
Last year the balance of trade in our
favor was 1915, 200. 900, that is we ex-
ported that much more than We i'm
ported, but half this enormous trade
balance was consumed in settling our
transportation account with foreigners.
OF course all the freight payments d d
not leave the country, for some of the
money was expended here while the
ships were in port, but it is safe to cal
culate that 5000, 900. 600 of it was car.
ried abroad by the owners of ships who
did our carrying. Thus the actual
trade balance in our favor was only
$40O, ,OO0, 900 at most.
What to do to check this drain upon
the wealth of the country is subject
worthy the attention of the national
government. 1t, however, is a ques-
tion no one has yet satisfactorily
solved, yet the Spokane Chonicle sug-
gests an idea that might be beneficial.
It is:
If a member of the cabinet, one of
the constitutional advisers of the
president, was concerned, all the time,
in promoting the expansion of our for
reign commerce, equally concerned in
seeing to it that nothing prevented
the employment of American shipping
in the carriage of that commerce,
for and poin ting out new op-
portunities for trade and profit for
keeping the subject of our
commerce and our shipping constantly
before the administration, and before
The eyes and in the minds of congress,

'oon realize the Importance of the SUBJ
ect of expanding our foreign commerce |

BADLY MIXED AT SAMOA.

American and British War ships Being
Gent to the IsIandc.
AUCKLAND, New.ZealaDd, Jan. 49,
Further particulars regarding the dis
turbances at Samoa show that Ma
taafa's followers numbered about 5000
men and the adherents of Malietoa
Tanus only about 1000. There was
two hours fighting between the rival
forces, during which several of the
warriors were decapitated. TIE Amer
ican consul issued a proclamation
claiming the Berlin treaty had the
same force as law of congress, and
that an insult to the supreme court of
Samoa is therefor equivalent to an in
suit to the government at Washing
ton.

and the remainder to general infor-

The charges that are piling up
against ex-Secretary of State Kincaid
of malfeasance in Office are of such a
serious nature that If he is an honest
man he will ask the legislature to ap-
point a committee for the purpose of
making thorough investigation of
his official acts during the past four
years, and not resort to explaining the
charges away through the medium of
the press. If he was honest in his
dealings with the state thorough .in-
vestigatiOn is what he should court,
for the thrath cannot hurt him, but if
not honest what he may say oyer his
own signature will do him NO good.
His explanation in the .Oregonian of
Sunday was uncalled TOR and displayed
bad taste.
Many OF the "infant industries" that
have grown into giants through the
stimulus OF protection are now de-
monstrating the fact that they no
longer need the fostering care of the
government to keep them on their
Ieet. Why couldn't some of the state |
Institutions that have been kept up by |
liberal appropriations-the state uni
versity and normal schools for instance
do the same thing? They have
grown from infants to giants at the
expense of the people, now why can
lot they live without state aid? They
ire for the benefit of only the limited
ew.and having for years been fostered
y tie public, it is now time that they
,e supported by those who can derive
,enefit from them. Let appropriations
or their maintenance be stopped. u
