DOING GOOD WORK.
Thornton is Not Los

Roadmaster Geo. Thornton came in
Sunday to spend the day with his
family.
Mr.. Thornton with crew of six
men is now engaged with the big road
scraper on what is known as the Harry
Jones hill in the Little Butter Creek
country.
This hill which was in bad shape by
former neglect is being graded and put
in good shape for travel.
The Franklin and Pagett hills, two
bad places have been worked and placed
in condition for travel
Mr.. Thornton will come down Hinton
creek and be in the Heppner district by
the latter part of the week. After
thorough work on the Heppner grade
and Cason Canyon, he will take his
crew to the Henry Gay road, and from
there on to Hardman and Spray roads.
The worst roads are being worked first,
and especially the roads that will be
used in the near future for wool haul
ing. This will be a great accommods
tion to the wool teamsters.
In time Mr.. Thornton will work the,
Heppner- Canyon City stage road.
Roads are now in good condition for
working, being we'll settled by the dry
weather.

The high water is running down and

With the endorsements of the Com

construction of The Dalles portage by
cantract, work to be completed within
100 days from time of contracting, has
been sent away by Mayor 7. g. HALEY.
The petition has nearly 800 signers, and
Mayor HALEY says if he had had time to
make thorough canvass with it nearly
every man in the county would have
signed it. Pendleton business men and
Umatilla ranchers want to see the road
completed before harvest.
Earl Bartholomew, of the Big Flat
! Cattle company, was in the city the fore
mart of the week. Mr.. Bartholomew
reports everybody busy now on the
cattle ranch. They are just finishing
puttinQ in 80 acres of alfalfa, which
makes over 100 acres now planted to
this vigorous forage plant. The com.
pany intends to put in 15O acres
more to alfalfa, having plenty OF fine
bottom land which can be easily irri-
gated. This ranch of $3.50 acres il
located near Cecil, where vegetation
comes earlier than in the foothills. The
alfalfa is now about six inches high and
is growing nicely. This crop will be
ready TO harvest about the 25th of May

been:greater than usual among cattle.
Sheep shearing is now we'll along in

the reason that the season is earlier

right to protest? The meeting, 1t d.
said, was one of the most orderly and
enthusiastic ever held In the old City
hall. Some OF our foremost men saw
fit to go there and speak to their fell
1owmen, and why not? Just because
we have strike going on Is no reason
why men may not protest against pro-
posed laws that are disagreeaIble to
them. Don't try ito make mountains
out of molehills. and editors of papers
in particular who are preaching one
thing in their editorial columns, and
at the same time allowing reporters
and anonymous correspondents to fling
freIbrands right and left, might con-
centrate some OF their energy on these
writer's, so that the columns of one
page of the paper will not be at vari-
ance with the other. in the mean-
time we again suggest to Colonel Bur-
pee and Manager sewell the advisable
ity of getting together and settling
the whole affair. These are the two

MORTGAGE TAX BILL
New Measure Ready For Pres
entation at Albany.
CORPORATION LIENS ARE EXEMPTED
IL IL Estimated That There Are
$4,000, 200, 900 Worth OF Mortgages
I'm New York State Upon which
Levy Will BE Made.

~ ~ hHHxmnte0 Tnat AherS ArS
$4,000, 100000 worth of Mortgages
I'm New York state Upon which
a Levy Will BE Made.
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 26--The much
talked OF mortgage tax bill is COM
pleted and ready for introduction in the
legislature. 1t is believed by Governor
Odell and those who have formulated
1t to be now in such shape as to dis
arm the majority Of the criticisms that
have been aimed at the suggestions for
mortgage tax bill. In its new form
the bill provides for tax Of 5 mills
upon all mortgages which are of rec
ord in the various counties throughout
the state. The tax is to be levied and
collected by the county clerk or regis
trar, and the mortgage itself is not to
be subject to deductions for debt, but
to be free from all other forms of taxa
ton, both state and local.
The most important section Of the
bill and one which will do away, 1t is
believed, with great deal Of previous
criticism is the section exempting GER
tain classes of mortgages. 1t Is calcu-
lated that there are in existence in the
state today, exclusive Of corporation
mortgages, $4,000, 000, 900 worth Of tax
able mortgages.
The exemptions are as follows: Mort
cages OF life insurance companies, ag-
gregating $500, OOO,oO0; mortgages Of
savings banks, aggregating 1851, O0o,-
600, and mortgages Of local building
and loan associations, aggregating $685.
O00, 600.
This will leave to be taxed about ST.
000, 100000 for the benefit OF the state
and the localities The reason given for
named are that the associations hold
ing such mortgages represent the thrift
of those who must depend for a future
competency for their families upon
their ability to save through those or
CARNATIONS or institutions, which the
state has brought into existence and
which it properly guards and fosters.
1t Is proposed to divide this revenue
in proportion-f1rst for school purposes
In the counties which have school dis
tricts, and second for local and village
purposes, in proportion as the total ex-
penditures for each Of these purposes
In the town or township bear to the to-
tai for each particular school district
or union Of such townships, thus turn
ing back to the locality this revenue on
plan similar to that of the bank tax.
1t will be seen, therefore, that there is
apparently no loss to the localities, but
on the contrary q positive gain in the
actual amount received from the tax
upon mortgages
1t is urged that In addition to this the
bill will make a certainty Of the aboli-
ton Of the direct state tax, which will
reduce the percentage Of tax upon ev-
cry mans home and farm to such an
extent as will compensate for the tax
which the borrower may be called upon
to pay.

Gates, and the governor of the state

lefty proposals similar to those which

they had threatened, though in some
what altered manner from that men,
toned In previous issues Of this paper.
Indeed, in Its way. @the associations
proposal is unique enough to be long

fathering before the Colorado legisla-
ture a bill applying the Littlefeld prin-
ciples of publicity to corporations OPP
Grating in the state, but with the law
so drawn as to be especially applicable
to institutions Of the nature of the
packing trust. Not satisfied with urg-
ing the proposal within the state in
which the president of the association
lives, the promoters OF the legislation
have sent copies Of the bill to all gov
errors, urging them to recommend sim

Although the house has agreed to
consider the Fowler currency bill at
this session Of congress, it never will
become a law. says a Washington cor
respondent. The edict hath gone forth
from the powers that be that the only
currency bill that shall become q law
ait this session is the Aldrich bill,
which Is in the nature OF substitute
for the Fowler bill, and gives the gold
trust and the banks Of the country a
tighter cinch on the people than even
the Fowler bill. They say they intend
to push 1t through. and they probably
will. They can do most any old thing
they want to do. and the people pay
the freight. This and the Philippine
currency bill will be about all the cur
rency legislation at this session OF CON
gress. The democrats. aided by a
few republicans whose consciences
were not as good as new, because they
had been used some. compelled the re-
7 VI
publicans in the house to pass a bill
giving to the Philippine Islands the
same currency as we have in this coun-
try, thus treating them as part Of
this country and not as a country to be
exploited and looted, but when the bill
reached the republican senate they
smashed 1T and sent it back to the
house with the same money system
as was originally intended they should
have by the republican house commit
tee. In other words, it is a system that
will give the exploiters and the hooters
the best of it and rob the poor Fill
pinos. This is riot Of rapacity and
the republican slogan is, What tell,
Bill, what tell"
