THE NoTARlAL FUNCTION.

1t is we'll that this legislature should
raise the standard of the notarial
function in this state. Far too long 1t
has been but a cheap moiety, an un-
valued, immaterial office, lily served
for the most part, and widely misun-
ierstood as 10 its real significance. No
state in the Union has permitted the
notarial Office to fall so low in the
scale of legal utilities, as Oregon has.
California puts specific limitations
upon the creation Of notaries; assigns
so many to each county in the state,
measured by the sum Of its current
business, and population, as well; re-
quires a first-class bond in the sum of
$4,000, and safe guards the appoint
ment, by strict inquiry into the fitness,
qualifications and standing Of every
applicant, and makes the office Of no.
tary one of significant honor and i'm
portance everywhere within her bor-
ders. oregon has gone directly to the
opposite extreme; and 1t Is an excel
lent thing that she is doing, In rein
vesting the post with value and dig
nifty and making it something worth
striving for, and holding. There are
times and circumstances when the in
telligent notary can exercise his func-
tons with immense effect in legal and
commercial circles and the office
should be put on a par with its high
duties
