certain element In the community thar
could not be trusted to make accurate
returns.
"And one OF those days." said Mr..
Trent. you may have a Japanese Tax
Assessor"
Mr. Bowen thought that the section
was fair, nevertheless, and as this was
or seemed to be the general opinion,
1t was permitted to stand
Section seven created a lot OF dis
cussion. as 1t provided for stock taking
for the purposes of taxation. 1t was
deemed hardly possible to compel a
man to take stock at a certain time
each year at the convenience of the
Tax Assessor. while 1t was argued that
II there was not a provision for taking
stock at a fixed time merchants could
let their stocks run down Just before
the time for assessment. Mr.. Wake
field determined the point by saying
that while that was possible, in the
case of big houses far from their
source of supply such q contingency
was not at all likely to happen.
Section eight was discussed, covering
pretty nearly the same ground as Sec
ton four, excepting that It was the
penalty section, and the consensus of
opinion seemed to be thar 1t should
stand.
Section ten, embodying an attempt
to get at absentee concerns trading
through local agents, was the last, and
Mr.. Trent moved that 1t be dropped be-
cause. as he explained, no such section
could ever be enforced. The courts
would hold 1t in conflict with the pro-
visions OF the Interstate Commerce
law.
Mr.. Berry thought nat mercantile
license would reach the matter, 80
far at least as the small Asiatic deal
ers were concerned.
Mr.. Bowen thought 1t might be as
well to try and collect tax from such
dealers, and Mr.. Wakefield asked per-
mission to submit section ten to q COM
patent attorney for an opinion as 10
its constitutionality.
LET II go to the joint committee, II
said President Smith.
what 1 want to know is" asked
Wakefield. whether the sense of this
meeting is favorable to the section?''
Certainly" answered the President.
Mr.. Hooking moved that it was the
sense of the association that Sched-
ule of the present tax law be re-
pealed, this being the section compell-
ing merchants to make returns from
their books to the Tax Assessor. The
motion carried.
Then. on motion of Mr.. Bowen, Sec
onded by w. w. Harris, the whole
matter of the tax law was referred to
a joint committee to be appointed by
the Merchants Association, the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Planters As
ISOLATION. The same committee waf
designated to act, the secretary being
instructed to notify the other CONNER
cial bodies of the action taken, and
the meeting adjourned.

IN DIRECTION OF TAX REFORM,
S28OO Cash on the Grant County Tax
Rolls.

If the amount of money in the
hands of the taxpayers of Grant coun-
ty on March /, 1904, was anything
near as small as that indicated by the
assessment roll of last year, Grant
county would be experiencin gone of
the worst financial panics known to
man. The assessment made by T. M.
Ray and his deputies last year dis
closed only $2S0O in cash in the entire
county. OF this amount taxpayers of
Willow precinct gave in $175; Warm
Springs precinct, $225; Long Creek
precinct, 5000; Hamilton precinct,
500; John Day precinct. $1OO;
Quartzburg precinct, $500; South
Fork precinct, $500. None of the
other precincts in the county had a
single dollar in cash available for as
sessment.
Another noticeable feature of this
part of the assessment is that this
amount is the aggregate of the money
given in by only nine taxpayers.
Some people wonder why Grant
county is in debt. 1t is not the fault
of the assessor or any of his deputies,
but the taxpayers themselves in with
holding their property from the as
SCISSOR. The assessment roll of this
county should show property of the
value of at least $1,000, ,OOO.-Blue

 navy. A table recently prepared by the English Navy and Record gives the fol- lowing cost of maintenance of an en- listed man in four of the big navies of the world: In the United States navy it is s565; in the English navy, $500; in the French navy. S350, and in the Russian navy, S250, or only half that in the Eng fish navy and less than half that in the United States navy. Under the head Of maintenance is included pay, clothing, food and allowances.
 An estimate of the pay received by men and petty officers in the American navy can be formed by taking the pay roll of one of the hattleships. There is the Maryland for instance, which is one of the latest battieships to go into commission. She has 131 enlisted men, of whom 25 per cent. are petty officers. The lowest wage paid is S19 a month and the highest S75.47. Seven of these petty officers receive more than $75 a month. There are r more who get over $70 and less than S75; four who receive more than S60 and less than S70; p more than $50 and less than $60; 39 more than $40 and less than $50; 1S4 more than s30 and less than $40. and 199 more than $25 a month
 No foreign battleship can compar9 with that record for the pay of its en- listed force. and this does not include the aytra nav and allowances Such as are received by seamen in charge of holds, qualified gun pointers, who get from S2 to SID to their regular pay and five dollars month to the gun cap tains. A man on the retired list of the navy gets three-fourths of his active pay. and it is possible for enlisted men to obtain homes with better facilities than the average wage worker in other lines.

DOLLAR WORTH TWO
NUMISMATIC EXHIBIT AT LEWIS
 AND CLARK EXPOSITION.
Mediums of Exchange from All Parts of the World Gathered Here Some of the Interest
 ing Moneys. ...

To revel in lucre; to see gems beyond
 price; to witness perfection in art of
 over 2,000 years ago, now lost to man; and to view the rarest, oldest and most
 curious mediums of exchange from all the world during the past 30 centuries, is the reward of a visit to the numismatic exhibit in the Manufactures building at
 the Lewis and Clark exposition.
 The space occupied by this exhibit is
 novel in it's decorations, paper money
 entering into every part. More than 5000 pieces of face value of $10000 are used in the ceiling and wall coverings.
 This paper money is not of the currency of the times, but of former days, and is
 more than memory of the hundreds of
 millions of private bank issues of the "wild cat'' period that became worth less in the hands of the people. The let tering and insignia are produced from
 coins and medals.
 Among the numerous rare and historic coins of America, are: The first silver coins of this country, issued in 1852 by Massachusetts, include the Pine Tree shilling and three pence; the various
 metal pieces of the colonists, the first experimental pieces of the United States
 government. among which is the con- tinental dollar of 1776; the half dime i made from the private silver plate of George Washington; the first United pir r1ot
 1792, silver 1794, gold 1795; and some of the great rarities including pattern pieces; the Stella or four-dollar gold piece; the 1894 dollar and the only coin
 of the confederacy, half dollar in sil- ver-all appeal to the interest of the numismatist.
 The territorial and private gold issues command attention particularly by the
 Pacific coasters Following the gold finds of AZ. and the rush of population to the western slope. the government
 permitted private gold producers to
 stamp a money value on pieces of gold of certain weight and fineness; many of these pieces are octagonal in shape. The then hazardous methods of transporting currency from the east caused regular
 mediums of exchange to be decidedly
 scarce on the coast. and these private
 gold pieces continued to be issued some years after the establishment of the i United States mint at San Francisco in
 1854, and for many years this was the
 most popular currency of the coast.
 Several varieties of s5o gold pieces,
 "slugs," as they are best known to the
 coasters, are exhibited with companion
 pieces of various denominations from 25 cents up. The very rare 1S49
 "beaver" money of the Oregon Ex-
 change company, the Pikes Peak gold
 coins of Colorado, the Bechtler issue Of Carolina and the Mormon pieces of
 Utah are all worthy evidences of his- | toric. periods. ., .-,.,. .-.t.-e ....r.-,

tion to prohibit the nuisance. The ma- jority of servants in public and private capacity in this city are colored, and they have long since acquired the tips ping habit in all its offensiveness. Soma people offer excuse for this on the ground that the official atmosphere of Washing. ton is in favor of tipping or, some would mare harshly call it, bribing. There is no ground for this charge, however. although in the former days there may have been a system of bribing in public departments. and in congress to secure favors and legislation. Diligent search and investigation in the present day, however. shows that this system has gone into disuse.
 According to the report of Consul Gens eral Guenther. at Frankfort. Germany, bribing is greatly on the increase in com- mercial circles in Europe. Tn a recent communication to the state department he says: "Bribing employees who act as buyers for mercantile houses, or who. in the capacity of salesmen or saIeswom- en. attend to customers in retail shops. especially in department stores, is an abuse which has grown in Germany for some years. and has caused many com- plaints in Business circles. It has be- come So serious that the chambers of commerce and other mercantile bodies have considered 1t necessary to discuss measures for relief
 "The commercial traveller who wishes to sell to the retail dealer will in many cases pay employes of the latter com. missions in consideration for giving the goods of the bribing house the prefer. ence, showing them to customers in ths shop. and keeping the goods of other firms out of view"
