Senator Bland Lays Down the
Ultimatum.
BUT HE IS FIGHTING HARD IN VAIN
Iteniarhnble Objections to Con
gressman Ellis.
Washington. D. C, February, 27.
Proceedings in the bouse last night
were full of exciting Incidents Bland
being unable to secure a quorum, con
cluded to allow debate ou the bill to
proceed, at the skine time declaring
that ho would return to tho assault to
morrow. Two sensational speeches
followed, one by Pence of Colorado,
who denounced the Republicans for
submitting to the crack of ex-Speaker
Reed's whip, and warned blm, If the
election of the president should be
thrown into the house in "90," he
would rue his filibustering course; and
the other by Fitbian, who condemned
In the severest terms the action of his
Democratic colleagues for taking part
hi the filibustering.
Towards the close of tho session
Pence's reflection onPicklerand Ellis
of Oregon drew forth from them state
ments which were characterized as
"absolutely untrue." Ho was twice
culled to order, and tho house by a vote
lelused to allow blm to proceed. It Is
prou.tble that Pence's speech will bi
tho occasion of further comment to
morrow." Having again failed to obtain a quo
rum, Bland then withdrew his motion
to limit debate and moved to' go into
committee of tho whole. The filibuster
em interposed no objections as it left
debate running as bofore, without limit,
and It was carried.
Bland explained his moyo by Baying
that inasmuch as it was evident no
quorum could bo obtained today, he
thought the time could be spent in de
bate. Pence followed in n speech denounc
ing Democratic backsliders from tho
silver supportors and Reed's tactics in
whinnimr into the ranks of filibuster
ed, tho Republicans. Favoring sliver,
be said: "I have never been engaged
In the rolo of prophet, but I am going
to do so now. The next president of
tho United States will be elected by the
54th bouse of representatives. If there
is auv one man here especially Inter
ested in knowing what will bo his an
swer on the roll call of states at that
time, probably it is the gentleman from
Maine, who. today, and upon every oo
caslon Is standing up here and else

1806. (Laughter.) When tho ques
tion comes before this house, the vote
of Idaho will be as big as the vote of
Pennsylvania, the vole of Montana as
big as the vote of New York, each state
having one vote. I say to him now,
that when that roll call comes by states,
bo will ruo this day and the-last fifteen
davs."
Bland mado a vigorous appeal to the
Democrats opposing bis bill, to cease
filibustering. He announced that to
morrow morning he would move to
close debate and every day thereafter
till the bill was brought to a vote. "I
desire to saw" Interjected Pickler, Re
publican, of South Dakota, rising to
his feet. "that Pence told me be wanted

ABSOLUTELY PURE
T. T. GEER IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Explains His Views on the Mortgage
Tax Law.
Saturday's Journal contained a let
ter from Portland, reviewing the sev
eral candidates for governor. Hon. T.
T. Geer, of Marlon county, was referred
to as follows :
Tho objection to Geer in the country is
his vote to repeal the mortgage tax law.
This will give htm Portland support
and with the scattering vote may nom
inate mm.
MR. DEER'S POSITION
on this question is best set out in a let
ter which ho wrote to the Eugene
State Journal, Sept. 10, 1803 as follews:
Ever since the adjournment of the
last legislature I have seen occasional
quotations in other papers from your
columns in whioh you soundly abuse
that august assemblage for many of its
deeds and misdeeds, but mom particu
larly for the repeal of the mortgage tax
law. I desire now to Improve this
first opportunity for gratifying a lin-
gerhig intention to consider some of
the reasons which led u few of us who
had always before opposed to tho repeal
of that measure to lead our votes lost
winter In favor of it.
Iu the first place, the situation as
portrayed by that class of our people
who complain tho loudest about the
Inequalities of taxation, was novor
worse than daring the last two years;
judging tho merits of the mortgage tax
law by tho fact that the complaints of
our ordinary tax payers were louder,
deeper nnd moro frequont than before
that law was enactad, It had plainly
failed to answer the Intention of its
framers. A given situation never
grows worse under the operation of a
law which successfully Improves that
situation. Prior to 1882, the year that
law was passed, murmurlugs of the
peoplo about tho burdens of taxation
being borne by tho poor were as a gen
tle zephyr compared to tho furious
oyclonethat has been sweeping over
our state during more recent years. A
certain class of our people were becom
ing furious about the manifest case
with which the wealthy clossos were
Mminlnir their lust share of taxation.
and in many instances threats ot an
archy and bloodshed were freely in
dulged as a means of correcting a great
and growing wrong.
It was plain that something must be
done, and that at once. In looking for
a remedy, the anxious legislator found
several propositions. The growing
scarcity of money was the burden of
the Populist's song, on one hand, and
ou the other the leading newspaper of
the state had for years contended that
money In Oregon was scarce by reason
of the mortgage tax law, and that riob
men escaped taxation by means of tho
indebtedness clause In our statutes.
If I remember correctly you stated
in some quotation I have seen that the
reneal of the mortgage tax law and in
debtedness clause would seriously
hamper the success of the Republican
party in Oregon next year; tbero may,
indeed, be a political aspect to the case,
but I beg to differ from your coticlu-
slon that it will or can seriously affect
the suocttsa of the Republican party.
You doubtless remembtr that in ills
message to the last legislature our
farmer governor urged as strongly as
his knowledge of the King's English
would admit, the necessity of repealing
the lndebtednees clause, aud that top,
In the interest of the poor people!
Even the Oregonian never painted the
evils to the farmers of Oregon, growing
out of the system of deducting ludebt
ness, In more glowing color than did
our most worthy governor la that mes
sage; and if our governor does not
stand for all that Alls the measure of
excellence In the eyes of our average
farmer and taxpayer, then where shall
we turn for a blameless standard?
Will any Democrat contest Republi
can supremacy next year by an allusion
to the repeal of the mortgage tax law ?
Then refer him to the Democrats who
voted for Its repeal, and If a Populist
expresses eenous concern about the
matter silence his gun by Inquiring as to
the use of having a Populist governor,
If bis tnoet eajnwt recommendation to
the legislature could not be followod
with safety, from a Populist stand
pojnt, by a moek and lowly Republi
can? Today our stato contains thousands
of houest mon and valuablo citlzons.
pioneers of an early dayt Who, though
Hying for thirty years undor our pres
ent constitution, probably never hoard
of a clause Iu which It provides for
"uniform and equal taxation" until
our present governor was discovered
aud made it familiar io their ears by Its
frequont' quotation lit his numberless
messages. By this means nnd others,
he has como to ropresout nil that is
adorable iu a public servant,' aud has,
by au occult system of metaphysical
absirptlou imbibed about all tbero ia
loft of public vhtuo iu this Oregon of
ours. So firmly lodged had ho becomo
in tho coufldouce of our agricultural
population, that portion of our pooplo
Who do really bear tho unequal burden
of our taxes, that ho had defeated two
of tho host Republicans In tho stato for
the governorship, and at the tlmo the
last legislature- met, was, in faot, tho
Mobob and tho Redeemer of tho Popu
list party; ho was tho public offlcor In
whom there was no gullo, nnd seemed
to furnish about the only means undor
heavon whereby the stato was to be
saved from Its enemies, tho Republi
cans. So, If, as you say, tho Interests of the
Republican party should havo been
looked after in considering tho question
of repealing tho mortgage tax
lttwT"
what better could wo have douo in tho
way of heading off" Populist adverse
criticism than to follow tho advice of
the Populist governor?
But, Some ono' may say, "Why
dldu't you repeal tho Indebtedness
clause and let the mortgage law staud ?"
In faot, my distinguished colleague
from Marlon, Mr. Ford, did mako a
motion to that effect, and made his
most earnest speech of tho session in
its support, but such u stop would
manifestly bo adding fuel to tho flames;
for no other course would sosuroly lead
to "double taxaclon."
No mortgage should ovor be taxed
unless tho debt wlijch was created
when it was civeti Is exempt in favor
of tho debtor. It should Jbo borne
In mind that no mortgago, note, ac
count or any form of papor money, tor
that matter, could bo In exist
once that a corresponding debt
exactly equal to it In dollars aud cents
did not also exist somewhere. Now, to
tax tho mortgago or note, without ex
empting the debt which It stands for,
is to tax something that Iu absolutely
fictitious; it would be to tax something
that has no nctuul oxlstonco nnd would
