delay and inconvenience in Oregon.
OF late years the system has been
amended SO as to promote still
further delay, causing much jncon-
venience to taxpayers and the pub.
lie. At one time the tax rolls were
made ready so that the tax col
lector could commence collecting
taxes during the fall of the year
when the products of the people
were being sold in the market.
The tax gatherer in those days
called upon the people when money
was coming into their hands, which
gave them an opportunity to pay
taxes at a time of the year when
money was most plentiful with
them and before other pressing ne
cessities had taken their money.
After the law was passed requiring
all assessments of property to be
made as Of the:lst day Of March of
each year, and requiring the rolls
first to go before the state board
of equalization and after that hoard
was dispensed WITH before the
board composed of the first three
state officers, who made up the
state levy from the several tax
rolls from the different counties,
after which the rclIs were returned
to the respective counties, which
prevented the taxes being extended
on the rolls until after the rolls
were thus returned. Under the
slow process mentioned the rolls
have not generally been put into
the hands of the sheriff for collec-
tion until late in February or the
first of March for the collection of
taxes assessed the previous year.
The time being SO long delayed
that nearly all of the taxpaying
people had used their funds in
other channels of business,
bringing the time for such payments
to be made in spring and summer
when money is least plentiful with
the people. The assessment laws
should be so amended as to make
the tax roll completed and in the
officers hands for. collection in the
early fall when money in the han DIS
Of the people is more plentiful.

WE ARE A CREDITOR NATION.

| w Il AMI n Ol1CxA 0AE U<A& 4 SAIs
In the campaign. of 1896, Mr.
Bryan pointed out that the golo
standard was a good thing ..fol
/ England because she was creditor
nation and reaped the advantage
offered by a standard of constantly
incr easing value. But we, as
debtor nation, were robbing our
selves by paying in a money which
had a greater purchasing power
than when the debt was contracted
IF that was sound logic in 1896, it is
sound logic now. His argument ir
favor of the gold standard for
creditor nation fits our case exactly.
The gold which is now going to
Europe is being borrowed of US be-
cause we have plenty of it, and are
| able to lend it without inconven-
fence to ourselves. We are not pay
ing a trade balance. That account
is heavily in our favor.
The need abroad, says the Toledo
Blade, is because of the South
African war. The Bank of England
is buying the yellow metal, anl
will continue to do SO until HOSTILE
ties reach the point from which the
end is apparent. And it is proba-
BILE that the most of the purchases
will be made in the United States.
A year ago we had some $50 mil
lions of gold, and this has been in
creased to over billion during the
past twelve-month. We can loan
hundred millions, or even double
that amount, without disturbing
our business interests in the least.
All this gold which is lent will
come back to us. The debt will be
paid. And it is to be remembered
that there is a very large amount
due US because of the large excess
of our exports over our imports
the trade balance in our favor. It
cannot be too often impressed
upon the American people that the
United States is a debtor nation
no longer. We are now a creditor.
People in other countries owe us
more than Americans owe to for
eigners.
This most desirable state of
things has come about as the re-
result of the election of 1896. The
people then recorded their demand
for an honest redemption of obliga-
tions in dollars of the same value
as the dollars in which the obli-
cations were incurred. And at the.
same time they recorded their de:
mand that the policy Of a tariff in
the interest of foreign industry and
foreign workingmen-as exempli.
fed in the Wilson bill--should be
abandoned, and this country re-
turn to the sound policy Of protec-
tion to American industries and
American workingmen.
The Dingley law secured the lat
ter. The financial bill now before
congress will write into congress
the former mandate. 1t will re-
move all the ambiguity involved
in the use of the word "coin" in all
our financial legislation, from long
before the civil war down to the
present time. The republican VIC
tory in 1896 started our idle indus
tries into active operation, gave
confidence in our financial status,
and has changed us from a debtor
to a creditor nation. The presi-
Dental campaign of next year will
give the people an opportunity to
reafirm their convictions, to again
endorse the wealth-producing policy
of the republican party; and to
place our prosperity on still

Napoleon's great armies marched through
the village on their way TO Russia, but
as Mr.. Popp was very young a the time

man army, after which he returned to
his trade.

tendent of the water works and came to
America, bringing his wife and four
daughters with him. He settled first in

years, after which he moved to Osseo,
where he lived for seven years. He came
