,onths before. Absence and abat,nence

months before. Absence ana abstinence
had awakened those old loves and
longings which over-indulgence had
turned to disgust. She began watching
eagerly for familiar objects. The sight
OF the stations as she neared home
made her heart leap; patches Of wood
land which had been growing ever
since she could remember rushed past
her like old friends. She felt like one
drowning, filled to ecstacy with visions
OF the past. It seemed to her that she
could not wait, that che must go faster,
faster, that she must leap from the
train. She longed so for her father.
and mother n David and every little
detail of her home that 1t was like an
agony OF hunger and thirst.
When she got off at the familiar sta
ton she reeled. She thought at first
that she could not walk. They had set
her trunk on the platform, the station
no team there. She thought with a sob
in her throat Of her fathers old white
horse and covered wagon. n then set
out almost at a run. Her way:lay be-
tween woods. It was late afternoon,
with the western sky cold with violet
and gold. The branches of the trees
were rafting in a northwest wind. AS
she hurried on an awful feeling OF
doubt n homclessness came upon her.
How angry We're they7 How deep a
gage had the love Of her parents?
What might they not suspect? She
thought Of Jack Bascom and rage shot
through her like. a lance-rage and
shame. She felt a great contempt for
herself and her weakness. What would
David say? He might nave taken up
with some other girl. Well, let him, so
long as she had fathel and mother and
her home.
The hunger and thirst for her home
and the old familiar things depend
until she was in an agony. She ran
faster.
She began to reflect how 1t was the
day before Thanksgiving. how she had
written only two weeks before that she
could not be home for 1t. 1t surprised
her now that h could ever have been
SO heartless as to have felt that she did
not care I'd see her parents. She
thought Of the days OF preparation, OF
her mother busy with pies and pre-
serves and sweetmeats. She thought Of
the great turkey gobbler that was to
have been sacrificed for the occasion;
how her father had talked about him
for months.

Dallas is becoming railroad
center of no small importance.
The county seat of Polk county
now has connection with the out.
side world by three lines of rail
road. The Southern Pacific operates
a daily passenger train between
this city and Portland, leaving
Dallas at Z a. M, and arriving at
1920 p. m. The independence motor
connects with this train in the
evening, and carries passengers to
Monmouth and Independence. The
motor also gives the people of
Dallas connection with the West
Side train, to and from Portland.
The Dallas & Falls City railroad
leaves Dallas in the morning a few
minutes after the departure Of the
Portland passenger train, and re-
turns in time to give the Falls City
people connection with the after
noon train to Portland. The Fails
City train leaves Dallas again in
the afternoon and returns at night
before the departure of the Inde-
pendence motor. By coming on
this train, and staying in Dallas
over night, the Falls City people
are enabled to catch the early
morning train for Portland. As
the train service is increased, the
mail facilities are also extended
and improved. The Southern
Pacific depot is busy place these
days, and it is no uncommon sight
to see four or five trains in the
yards at one time. Dallas is COM
ing to the front at a very satisfactory
pace.

ARE PAYING TAXES
Corporations Do Not Appear to Desire
to Evade New Law.

The Southern Pacific Company, o.
Kentucky, with capital stock o.
$197, ,849, ,227.40, was among the cor
porations which filed it's annual re-
port in the Office Of the Secretary oi
State Wednesday. The Oregon &
California Railroad Company, with a
capital stock Of $19,OOO,OO0, also filed a
report. The reports show that E. H.
Hartman is president Of both COM
panies; that Richard Koehler has
been appointed agent in Oregon and
George H. Andrews attorney in fact.
Although the time for filing reports
has expired, about 100 corporations
presented their annual statements to-
day. Those who are delinquent may
report within in 20 days, but after that
time they will be subject to fine 0
800, All the leading companies are
filing their reports as required by law
and many are already paying their
license taxes, although these are not
due until July Is. So far as appears
at the office of the Secretary of State
there is no disposition to evade the
law, for those who are late in fling
their reports seem to have delayed
through negligence. Some of those
who have been talking Of testing the
validity of the law by suits in court
have complied with it's provisions.
Secretary Of State Dunbar has no
fear that the act Of 1908, imposing a
lieoneo tax, will be declared unoonsti-
tutional, for similar laws in other
states, requiring the payment Of much
heavier taxes, have been upheld.
The contests in other states were based
upon the contention that the cor
porations had already paid taxes up
on their property and that the license
tax laws were unconstitutional al, be-
cause they imposed double taxation.
The courts held, however, that the
license taxes were fees required as
compensation for the privilege of. do
ing business as corporations, a privi-
lege expressly conferred by the state.
The general belief that the Oregon
corporation tax law is constitutional
is shown by the fact that companies
represented by the leading attorneys
of Portland have filed their reports
without protest. If there were any
doubt about the validity of the law,
these attorneys would be likely to
know it, A few smaller companies
have written to the Secretary of State
expressing doubt as to the validity
of the law, but in every instance he
informs them that the law will be
strictly enforced and that companies
desiring to maintain their right to
transact business in this state as cor
porations must comply with its terms.
1t is fact, which has not been given
much prominence, that the new cor
poration tax law cuts off a consider
able slice from the income of the
of State. Under the old
law the Secretary was allowed to put
in his own pocket such small fees as
the corporations were required to pay.
In helping to frame and secure the
of the new law, and in enforc-
ng it, Secretary of State Dunbar
therefore works against his own
financial interests, but in the interests

The following sensible editorial
is taken from the columns of the
Dallas Collegian, paper published
by the bright boys and girls of
Dallas College: "As the city of
Dallas has voted to institute a sys-
tenn of waterworks, the people of
Dallas will thereby be greatly bene-
fted. Dallas, a thriving inland
city of about 1900 inhabitants, the
metropolis and county seat of Polk
county, is by no means slow. Up
to-date in every thing pertaining
TO the upbuilding of the town and
surrounding country, she has re-
cognized the fact that this deficiency
should be attended to. That water
works have long been needed by
he city is doubted by no one 1t
will be a great help in improving
the lawns and also save much time
and labor. The College especially
should see that this much needed
a ticle will be of great use to it and
its patrons, In laboratory work
ii is indispensable, and again baths
may be fixed up in the gymnasium
hy means of which the young ath-
h.ies may take their shower baths
unl not have to use bucket and
ponge. The deficiency, which has
long been a drawback to the city,
wien completed, will become one of
the many factors which makes our
little city a center of attraction
and an object of admiration to all
who soiourn here, and at the same
Il ne remove the danger of fever
aud sickness to which we are sub
j ct by using the water from the
shallow wells about town."
