Could we judge all deeds by motives
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the effort all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem, l wonder, just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the fount Of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
An! we'd love each other better
If we only understood.

The State Press association is maxi
ing an effort to have incorporated in
the taxation bill which the special
session of the legislature Is called to
amend, clause providing for the
publication of the tax assessment; for
the purpose it is alleged of cincbing
the chronic tax dodgers. The Oregon
Law School Journal, published at
Salem, devotes pages to the subject,
strongly advocating the measure.
Among other things. 1t says We
would, therefore, recommended COM
plete publicity rs certain remedy
against the practice of "tax-dodg.
ing" The assessment of each per-
son liable to assessment In county
should be published, as Is done In
several other states before the county
board of equalization meets, in the
leading newspapers pdblished In the
county. The state of Illinois now
has such law, and its effect Is magi-
cal. Each person is made aware Of
his neighbor's list of property given
In to the assessor. and II such neigh
Dor omits any of his property sub
ject to assessment he is compelled
to hasten its correction. This law
has brought about revolution in
that state with regard to equal and
just taxation, and 1t Is almost i'm
possible for one to escape his just
proportion of the taxes.

The Colorado Mine Owners associa-
tion in circular letter issued last
month calls attention to the danger
Gus attitude taken by the department
of the Interior towards mineral
patents. The dangerous attitude re-
ferred to is the decision of the secre.
tary of the Interior and the COM
missioner of the general land Office
that the actual boundaries of patented
claims must give way to erroneous
descriptions, which means, in other
words, that the actual boundaries of
patented properties must conform to
the theoretical descriptions Of them
on paper in the governments offices
In Washington, and not as they are
actually plated on the ground. The
difficulty come about by reason of
the fact that the land office assumes
that the section corners or monu-
ments are located with complete
accuracy, but the theory is absolutely
incorrect, rs there Is probably not u
land section in any mountainous dis
trict in the United States the corners
of which are accurately established.
But the Interior department has now
taken the position that II they are
not accurate they ought to be-; that
according to their plats they are and
that all the surveyines of the United
States deputy mineral surveyors dur.

Locomotive Fuel.

Inventions, new uses and adaptations
are the results of the wants and neces.
stiles of the time. The adoption of
fuel oil on the locomotives employed
on the railroads traversing the interior
valleys of some sections of the West
has removed one of the chief sources
of danger from fire in the ripening
grain fields. Locomotives using it do
not emit any sparks or eject red-hot
cinders to ignite the withered grass
along the right of way or the parched
grain in the neighboring fields. Hence.
forth grain field fires will probably
pass out of the future history of the
wheat-growing valleys; the railroad
claim agents occupation will practi.
cally disappear, big leak in the cor
poration's treasury will drop to CORE.
spond with the diminished risk the use
of fuel oil on locomotives has caused.
We believe that fuel oils is destined
to play no small part in the economics
