rHE aoRreAGE TAX LAW.


The citizens of Albany and surround-
ing country were raised to tho highest
pitch of excitement last Friday upon
receipt Of the news that Judge Deadly
had decided the mortgage law uncon-
stitutional and. void. This was q suit
brought by tho Dundee Mortgage
Company In the United States Circuit
Court against School District No. l,ot
Multnemah county, Geo. g. Sears,
Sheriff of Multnomah, and the sherids
of several other counties to restrain
said defendants from collecting taxes
levied upon plaintiffs mortgages under
the mortgage tax law passed by the
last State Legislature.
The ground upon which the decision
is based is that the law is in conflict
with section 80, Art. |, of the consti-
tuition Of the state which provides that
call taxation shall DO equal and uni
FORM" The law is confined to mott
cages upon land in one county only,
and for this reason only the court holds
the law not uniform and equal, and
hence invalid. With but few excep.
tions this decision is condemned by the
people, aud the words of condemnation
are not of the choicest aud most elegan,
kind by any means. Unsophisticated
aural inhabitants ask if poll tax il
uniform when imposed upon all male
citizens over u and above 80 years oI
age. Or If . Law would DO equal enc
uniform that required assessors Z
assess all horses above three years o
age. These laws would be as clearly
q violation OF the constitution as th,
mortgage tax law, but as they sffee
only common citizens they are all right
but when the interests of great monie'
corporations ate touched these laws at
found to be not uniform.
The sentiment is almost universe
that the next legislature must be elee
ted upon the issue that some Law mus
be enacted under which capital an'
capitalists must be. compelled TO pc.
their proportion of taxes necessary Z
maintain the machinery Of government
Great ceaEasss are going on all owe
the land between the people on the on
hand, and monied corporations on tn
other in consequences OF the refusal {
the latter to pay the taxes legally in
posed upon them. In CAlifornia th
railroad corporations nave refused
pay their taxes uAtil they amount
millions, and such public indignai1
has been aroused among the people
that the governor has been compelle
to call "a extra session of the legisls
turs to inaugurate the necessary step
to compel these corporations to bea
their portion of the public burdens
Nothing il clearer than that all kind
of property should bear its equal par
- r.I,iiin -hnrlenz Gnyernmants ar
instituted 20 protecs life, liberty an
property. To maintain these govern
ments revenue must be collected to pa
the expenses Of such mainiAinancs-- A
taxes upon the psrson should be sbao
lutely equal. Bot every person shonl
pay property tax in proportion to tn
amount of property he has, whether
be land, money, hsrsss or mortgages
All property, whether land, money
mortgages, horses or credits, shonId b
taxed at it3 actual value. La this way
aud only in this way, may taxation b,
equal and uniform.

Robbed right along of large bodies Of
valuable lands and that no attention
is being paid to the law Of 1873. Ac-

thousand acres through old filings
that should not have been honored

The cold winter is almost gone and
soon ii viii again be time for making
! gardens. Now, before the hurrying
season arrives, it would be well 10
make out bill Of the seeds wanted for
the sDring Sowing. There are few
things that, for the time and money
expended, give more real pleasure than
well kept flower garden. On the
approach to your home, it is the first
object 20 meet the sight, and who does
not admire a pretty flower gardeni
Where one is limited for room it is
/ best to select those varieties that bloom
the longest, for is indeed quite provok-
ing to amatcure, after all their labors,
to find that they have selected only
those kinds that bloom early ard are
soon gone, or else come very late and
the early frost kills them before they
have shown Ealf their beauty. Some
ofthc best sorts for continuous flower
/ ing are Phiox, Petunias, Pinks, Asper-
ula, Ageraium, Verbena Crepis, Mig
nonettc, Catchny, and CacaIie. The
Centaurea Sweet SULTAN is a very
attractive plant. The flowers are not
really handsome, but their size and
curious shape make Them an addition
to the flower garden. Gypsophila is
a lovely little plant 1t has delicate
feathery foliage and tiny pink star-like
flowers, which are produced in great
abundance, fine for edgings, borders,
or hanging baskets. White lava is
very early bloomer; is lovely blue and
white bell-shaped flowers are admired
by all, Phacelia is pretty flower nd
/ excellent for boquels. There are two
varieties; one a pale blue, the other a
deep dark blue. The Phacelia is one
Of the very best Of bee foods.
Climbers arc natures drapery; with

ioned morning glory is about as useful
as any Of the newer sorts. Cardlosper.

HOMEMADE YEAsI.-Exceilent
home made yeast may he made bv
grating raw potatoes, after being wash
ed and peeled; pour boiling water over
the pulp, which cooks it into starch.
Add salt aud sugar in usual quantity
and when cool enough add a little
good yeast. Try this. Two medium
sized potatoes viii make enough for
first trial.
BEEF, CARROT, AND ONION Sour
Take shin of beef and crack it Up
well, put it into cold water and let il
simmer gently for one hour, taking off
all the scum that rises, adding little
cold water to throw up all impurities of
the meat. Add Jour carrots grated

When milk is scarce very good cakes
can be made by the following recipe |
SIX tablespoonfulls of corn meal. one
spoonful of wheat flour, four of sugar. |
one OF baking powder, half teaspoon
full of salt. Mix these well leaving no |
jumps Of sugar. Break in one egg. |
You may leave out the white for coffee
and use only the yolk. Stir thorough
Y into the meal, adding gradually
little milk say three or four spoonstul, |
stirring briskly, and water enough to
make rather thin batter Then add
| hall cup Of suet cut fine and stir all TO-
gether and bake either in gem or com
non baking pans. Excellent for quick
breakfast for healthy people in win

an be made without much milk. III
here is time beat the egg light before
utting it in.
