1T is necessary that our laws should

Aossihle to so frame our laws that they
will guard every interest of the people
and ut the same time by their justice
and moderation lend no sense of inSe-
curity to the capital which we invite
to aid in the uphuilding of our state,
in all of these matters, however,
caution and good Judgment ar neces'
j sary. 1t is easy by u wildcat system
of legislation to alarm the cautious in
weston. Unwisc and imtiammatory laws
enacted in Oregon at the present time
would do much to cheek the investment
OF foreign capital and the starting OF
new enterprises which now promise adj

Cheap Transportation.

Every legitimate means should be
employed by the state to facilitate the
transportation OF the products of our
various industrial enterprises. One Of
tn greatest problems effecting the gen
eral prosperity of our people is cheap
transportation. The natural waterways
of the state should be made available
for unobstructed transportation at the
earlies possible date. The tribute ex-
acted from the products OF our farms,
mills and factories at the Oregon City
locks should be abolished. BY a per-
.i-tent and united effort on the part Of
our people this barrier to competitive
transportation can be removed. This
will mean added value to every pound
Of hops, every bushel Of grain and to
every other commercial commodity tri-
butary to this waterway. The portage
railroad at CellilO should be made a.
near canal conditions as practicable.
The lowest possible freight rate only
should be exacted. In this way great
system OF transportation can be built
up in the upper Columbia and its tribu-
taries, thus stimulating production and
adding to the prosperity Of our people
over an immense area of our common
wealth.

Remedy Inequable Taxation.

"A question of vital Importance to the
people of Oregon at the present time
is the question of taxation. There is
a widespread feeling. in which l con-
cur. that the burdens of taxation in
this state have in the past been in
equitably distributed. The support OF
the government in all OF its various
branches has fallen for the most part
on the owners of real estate. | be-
lieye that the policy Of our laws should
be to increase the revenues Of the state
from indirect taxation and the taxa
ton and the taxation OF intangible pro-
perties to the end that real estate may
ultimately be free from taxation for
state purposes. This result has been
reached in some Of the commonwealth
of the union and the time will come
when similar result can be reached in
Oregon. I believe in the taxation Of
franchises. A franchise in property in
lust a. real a sense as farm.

BREAKS PROMISE
MADE To A BOY

Cleveland March 29.-Harry Evans. II
years old, has gone back 10 the concert
han stage because the richest man I'm the
world broke his promise. John u. Rookie
feller heard Of the boy last summer when
he warbed At a beer garden.
The oil king took Harry away from the
place and promised him and his mother
that he would support them and give the
boy "A good education. Since Rockefeller
left his Forest Hill home not a word has
been heard from him and Harry is won
dering where he Is.
The oil king had young Evans out 70
his home shortly after he took him from
the beer garden. He talked of the birds
the flowers and the trees, quoted poetry
and Scripture. and then asked Harry TO
sing
Without accompaniment the boy began:
u Need Thee Every Hour John u.
wiped his eyes and. walking 10 the win
dow, looked across the green lawn into
the cool depths of the woods.
Then came What a Friend We Have
in Jesus" The servants noiselessy gath
cred at the door.
Sing I Need Thee Every Hour again
II iS my favorite.' requested the oil king.
Rockefeller patted Harrys head
Your voice IL a power for good he
said. you must be educated so we may
keep YOU In the church
The boy is the support OF his widowed
mother and was forced TO sing I'm a con-
cert hall TO earn money.

RHODE ISLANDS
CREDIT SHOWN
TO Be STRONG

State Treasurer Read is much pleased
with the fact that both the armory and
the highway per cent. bond issues were
sold above par, as the scarcity OF money
and the high rates OF interest prevailing
OF late have had the effect OF maintaining
interest rates on state bonds at \ higher
percentage than the rate prescribed for
this Rhode Island issue, and no state has
for years attempted TO float a 3 Ter cent
bond.
The fact that they commanded n pre-
MUM is taken as an indication that Rhode
Island securities are regarded as good
as any in the country. There are very
few per cent. bonds on the market, most
OF them being old issues which Invariably
bring considerably less Than par.
The new bonds are being made from
specially engraved steel plates. In m
original design. and on paper specially
prepared and water-marked.
The bonds will be dated April I, 1906, and
bear interest from that date, payable
semi-annually on the first OF April and
October OF each year IN gold coin. They
are secured by sinking funds and exempt
from taxation
The option as to coupon or registered
bonds is given and they will be issued
in units of $1,000 each, II desired.

STATE BANKS
MAKE REPORT
REMARKABLE INCREASE IN BUSl-
NESS FOR SIX MONTHS.
IMMENSE GAIN IN DEPOSITS.
Statements for Jan. Indicate Period
of Unexampled Prosperity in Ten
nessee-Secretary of State Morton
Issues Annual Political Manuel.

That Tennessee is enjoying period
of unexampled prosperity is evidenced
by the phenomenal increase in the
bank deposits and resources during
the six months ending Jan. l, 1906.
The semi-annual statement of the
banks of the State made pursuant to
the act of 1903 has been prepared by
A. s. Marshall, clerk in the Office of
Comptroller Dibrell, and presents
some interesting figures. There was
an increase during the six months of
over 81 600 900 and the total resour-
ces of the State banks, the total on
July / last being $59,0O0O00 and the
total according to the statements Of
Jan. being over S7O,C0O,000 This
is an increase in the assets Of the
banks of more than Is per cent. and
at this rate means an increase for the
year Of 80 per cent, a record never
before approached.
Probably the most remarkable
feature Of the report and the one that
gives the best indication Of the sound
financial condition Of the people Of the
State is the big increase in the
amount Of the Individual deposits
The amount Of tie individual depos-
its in the State banks increased from
July l to Jan. !, over ,00O,0O0-from
$36,0OOOOO to over $44,O0O,O0O This
is an increase for the period Of nearly
IS per cent which would indicate that
the bank deposits Of the State are
doubling every two years.-Nashyille
