NEW Law IS BEST.

Some OF the papers OF the state, in
cluding the 0regonian, suggest that the
legislature, IL called in special session
to remedy the present tax laws, 1t
should -e-enact the old law and do
away with the provisions of the new
law which make taxes payable in the
fan Of the year instead of the spring, as
heretofore, says the the Eugene Regis
ter.
For two years before the new law
was enacted the Register advocated the
change which we considered then, and
earnestly believe now, to be in the inter
ests Of taxpayers Of the state.
Those at last session of the iegisla-
ture who advocated and voted for the
new law represented the majority of
the taxpayers and enactment of the
new law was considered a benefit to the
agricultural classes who have more
ready money in the fall season than at
any other season Of the year.
There are people who do not take
kindly to new order of things even
though they are better than the old and
helpful to The masses.
If we are TO have a special session
let it be for the purpose of remedying
the defect that prevents the new law
from taking effect for it is the new law
that the people want and not the old
law which .he people rejected at the
last session.
The only objection urged from any
direction against the new law is that
the people viii be required to pay taxes
twice in 1904 in order to bring taxpay-
ing time around to the proper season
Of the year. To this feature of the new
law there was practically no objection
when the bill was up for consideration
and there should be none now.
Oregon needs plenty of new legisla-
tion but gets little of it. What We do
get we should bind to us with bands of
steel lest it get away. The new tax
law is wholesome measure that needs
only one small clause enacted to put 1t
into effective operation. If special
session is to be called "a knock the new
law out we sh all be opposed, absolutely,
to any special session whatever, prefer
ring that the state and counties borrow
money Tor operating expenses rather
than to undo good piece of legislation
enacted for the benefit of the farmers
ana small taxpayers who will find It
much easier to pay taxes in the fall |
THAI in the spring.
The above represents the position of
The Astorian, if we must have special
session. The new law is certainly bet
ter than the old one. Organize, remove
the defect, and then adjourn.

FAyoRITE AGES OF WOMEN.

It may seem strange that women
have preferences for particular ages.
An inspection of the census, however,
leaves no room for doubt that certain
years are preferred, and certain other
years disliked, by members of the gent
ier sex.
OF children IA years and under the
number of boys is nearly 100000 greater
than the number Of girls; at Is the
boys are still 5000 ahead of the girls;
at 1e the girls are 5000 the more numer-
Gus; and each year thereafter, until the
twenty-fourth, there is an excess of
women over men. The favorite ages
within these limits are IS and 20. There
the $4,000 misses of Is more than
boys of that age, and young ladies 20
years old exceed their masculine COM
panions by $4,000. At "a and % the
numbers of the two sexs are nearly
equal. Then the women begin to grow
less with great rapidity. The most un-
popular ages are 30 and 40. at the for
mer age there is difference of $4,000
between the two sexes; at the latter
$4,000.
one peculiar circumstance is that
there are more women 20 years old than
there are girls of 1S or IA, or any age up
70 20. This fact conclusively demon
strates that 20 is a very healthful age.
But ii the younger ages are unhealthy,
where did the increased number who
are 20 years old come from? No women
are born that old.
Only an unusually elastic theory can
account for these peculiarities with be-
coming gallantry to the livlier SEX.

After defeating the strong Interior De-

League, the Takoma Park team, which
brings up the tail of the procession in the
District Amateur Bowling League, looked
good for victory or two over the Business
Mems five last night. But as has SO often
been the cdse. the Takomaites dropped
three straight to the men from South Wash
ington, not even putting the visitors to any
great exertion before they accomplished
their task. The Business Men played in
excellent shape, and were almost In cham
pionship form, passing 900 in one game and
getting within three pins of that total in the
wind-up game. Armstrong. who Is now
leading the players of the District League
for best average, maintained his good work
and gave a fine exhibition of the game.
twice passing 200. Leimbach and Kidd each
scored in the 200 column, while DR.. Cobey
helped his team with an excellent average.
Jarvis played the best series for the home
team. and his work gives promise of an ex-
cellent bowler, but his support was miser-
able. Bowlers who have watched this
teams work are at a loss to understand the
poor showing of the Takomas. While 1t Is
not to be expected that the team would cut
any figure in the championship race. 1t Is
argued that they should by this time be
making much more creditable scores than
have come their way. This is especially so
in view of the fact that the alleys of the
Takoma club are in excellent condition, and
have been demonstrated a number of times
to have fast qualities.
A feature of the evenings work was the
excellent strike bowling Of the Business
Men. In the fourth frame Of the last game
Jarvis made the extraordinary spare Of
1910. and was greeted with great applause
for the feat. None of the older bowlers
who were present could recall ever having
seen the spare before In a league match.
1t is unquestionably one of the most difficult
on the alleys.
The games were quite one-sided through
out the match Takoma being hundred or
more pins behind in each game In the last
Of the series the home team pulled up so
much in the middle frame that 1t got within
sight Of victory. but it quickly settled back
into it's rut. The scores follow:

INCREASES EXPENSE MONEY.
McGovern May Fight Jordan in Lon

Sam Harris, manager Of Terry McGovern
received a cablegram from Am. Bettinson
matchmaker Of the National Sporting Club
of London. last night in New York, stating
that he would allow McGovern $3.50 for ex-
penses to go to England and fight Ben
Jordan. the crack English feather-weight
champion. next May. This Is $3.50 more
than the club first offered McGovern for ex-
penses. Harris having cabIed Tuesday that
he would not take Terry to England and
fight Jordan unless the club would raise
the amount to $1,000.
AS the club has already increased the
expenses from $500 to $3.50 1t Is likely that
Matchmaker Bettinson. sooner than lose
the chance of having McGovern fight Jor-
dan in England, will give the the neces-
sary $1,000 in order to secure the match.
Harris said last night that he would take
McGovern to England the first week In
May. and would also be prepared to bet
5000 that Terry would defeat Jordan.

Ward played good pool, and. the balls

been doing lately. he was alert to take
