To ALI Fraternal Societies.

We wish to commence our
lodge directory with the new
year, and would ask secretaries
to bring the matter before their
lodges at once. A standing ad-
vertisement of each lodge will be
inserted for IS per year. No
other charges will be made for
changes in meeting Or officers,
reports of meetings, special meet
ings, elections, etc. This direc-
tory is a great convenience to
people living out of town and to
members of any of the orders
visiting Corvallis, and its value
depends in a great measure on its
being kept up to date. AS De-
cember is the month when most
elections are held, we would ask
the secretaries to promptly report
all elections of officers as soon as
held.

county who may not give in all
OF their property the cases are
the exception. There is positive
statute law requiring every per-
son to list and give to the assessor
a complete itemized list of all of
his or her property. To refrain
from completing such list is a
violation of positive law and the
parties who fail to comply with
that law, "dodge taxes" neces-
sarily become law breakers.
Benton county is not made up of
lawless population, but her citi-
zens are law abiding, God obey
ing and peaceful people. as is
abundantly evidenced by the rec
ords of the Benton County
Courts. The circuit courts of
some counties are in session all
of the time and others for two
or three weeks at a time with
frequent sessions. In Benton
county, circuit court seldom lasts
over three or four days at time,
and rarely over a week. The
people of Benton county as a
rule list their property for the
assessor completely aud fairly,
the exception being rare for
which there is ample law to re-
quire those who fail to comply.
The<low valuations mentioned
in the article so as to cause tax
payers to not pay more than one
;; tenth of their proper taxes does
not apply to Benton county, be-
cause the tax roll for the present
year abundantly evidences pieces
of property listed on the tax roll
for greater value than the own
ers thereof have for several years
held the price of the same prop
erty for sale, while all other
pieces of property in the county
is valued high.
The taxpayer is in no way re-
sponsible for the taxable value
placed upon property assessed.
1t is the assessor who places the
value thereon. The law requires
the taxpayer to make a complete
itemized list of his taxable prop
erty, but does not require or per
NIT him to put the taxable value
thereon, but the law does require
the assessor to value all property
at an equal ratable cash value
thereon, such cash value to be
governed by the same cash value
as he places upon any other tax
payers property, and this is the
kind of cash value which is in
tended by the tax law. ---
The talk named in the article
purporting to have taken place
between neighbors to the effect
"that they would list their prop
erty completely if their neigh
bors would make also as complete
Ia list" does not apply to Benton
county, because as stated the tax
payers are good ABOUT making
proper lists.
| AS to the forms mentioned in
the article of publishing each in
dividual taxpayers assessment
lprior to the meeting of the board
lof equalization to thus give pub
licity and general knowledge to
the mass of the people as to the
condition of the taxation of the
property in the county, would be
an excellent thing providing such
inexpensive methods of details
can be edvised, in the way of ad-
vertising to carry it into effect SO
that the taxpayers can afford to
pay the expense thereof, because
all new or additional labor put
upon the gathering of taxes must
finally be borne and paid by the
taxpayer, and yet publicity is the
great leveler and equalizer of all
public concerns.

still remains under the spell cast
on him by Parson Crefield. He
recently made an attempt to IN
fuence Miss Esther Taylor, once
a member of the society here, to
remain true to the faith. The
young lady is now at the home of
the Boys and Girls Aid Society,
in East Portland, suffering from
mental arrangement due to the
religious mania said to have been
brought On by the rawlings of the
fanatics. With care1essness
almost criminal, Miss Taylor was
allowed to be taken to church on
Sunday last, and On the way
young Hurt met and urged her
to Remember and keep on vic
tory's side.' This greatly ex-
cited her, as her mind is still
very weak. and she made a scene
in the church. The officers of
the Home are to be blamed for
making this scene possible, and
it is hoped that igreater care will
be exercised in the future.

A coed move in the way of
good roads is being put forward
in Congress. If the bill, which
was introduced into the house OF
representatives Of the Fifty-eighth
congress. on November 10Th, by
Representative Brownlow, of
Tennessee, becomes a law, the
State of Oregon will become en-
titled to the sum of $3.50, 900,
payable in three years, Ioo4-5-6,
to be expended in the improve
ment of her public highways,
providing that the state, counties
and municipal districts in which
the proposed Improvements are to
be made will cooperate in the
work and bear their pro rata share
of the expense. The main OBJ
jects Of the bill are to create in
the department of agriculture, a
bureau to be known as the Blu
Teau OF Public Roads, and to pro-
vide for a SYSTEM of national,
state, and local cooperation in
the permanent improvement of
the public highways. The gen.
eral policy of the bureau, SO far
as may be, is a uniform method
of road construction. repair and
maintenance throughout the
United States, and to cooperate
with any state or civil sub-divis-
ion thereof in the actual con-
struction of permanent highways.
The article published in last
Tuesdays issue Of this paper n
titled "To Stop Tax Dodging"
was sent to the GAZETTE for pub
licatiou by a newspaper Office
from another county. The GA
zETrE complied with the request
and published it accordingly but
overlooked stating its origin.
in making up the paper the ar
ticle was placed upon the edito-
rial page. From its position in
the paper it would naturally be
considered by the reader to voice
the sentiment of the GAZETTE
upon the points therein mention
ed. While there are some things
in the article interesting and
could be made to subserve the
public good if carried into prac-
tical effect, yet there are some
points stated which do not apply
to conditions existing in Benton
county, and, therefore, do not
express the views of the GA
zETTE.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The passenger railway strike
that has been keeping Chicago
i'm turmoil for weeks and making
trouble for thousands of people
that had no part in it, has at
last been settled. That it was
settled by compromise proves
.conclusively the folly of those
who inaugurated it. The men
are back where they started from,
all they have to show for their
long and bitter fight is a dead
loss Of over $50, 900 in wages
that they ought to have had
The company's loss foots up over
a quarter of a million, which
they are better able to lose than
the men. The loss to the gen
eral public, the patrons OF the
road, and merchants cannot be
computed ia coin, but it would
be safe in placing the entire loss
to Chicago and Chicago citizens
at a good half million-and al
