NAMING A TAX COMMISSION.

The state officials are going through
the motions Of naming tax commits
sion, the most important body that
could possibly be named.
The people are taking no interest in
who shall 20 on the state tax commits
sion. They know there will be spe.
cial interests protected by almost any
of the politicians who will be named.
They know that the very rich man, the
large property interests, will look after
these appointments The millionaires
and big corporations will care for their
own and in return be cared for. Tax
the little fellow Wipe out the little
5000 exemption. Those who have shall
pay less and those who have nothing
shall pay more. The end Of this farce
Of taxation will come some day. A
state government that will turn It's
public lands over TO private parties
and not tax them, that will leave the
millions of acres of railroad lands that
were given those corporations where
they cannot be taxed, and tax every
improvement that labor and industry
makes, has whole lot TO learn, and
those who have maintained these con
ditions will be put in position "a

WHITE NrsN ZOE sEoTIoN HANps


There has been ono good result OF
che Russia-Japan war-coolies have be.
come 50 scarce that white men have
been employed as section hands.
The white man makes a better sec
Zion hand, and can do more and better
work in day than any Asiatic.
He is a citizen and pays taxes for the
support of our government, and has a
vote At the election.
The white man supports a family, and
Becomes a part Of the population of the
country where he works.
he wears American clothes and con
sumes American products and spends
his money in supporting home.
His family are consumers Of all that
Is sold in the community, and he sends
his children to school.
This is great step in the right di.
reetion, and the Southern Pacific man.
ayers in Oregon are eomplmented on
at last employing white men.
The principle for which this paper
has always contended is that corpora
tiahs enjoying franchises from our gov.
erument should be compelled to EN-.
plOy American citizens, or those who
have declared their intentions to be.
come citizens.
This is a sound principle for this gov.
ernment to follow in all cases.

THE ISSUE AT THE SCHOOL ELEc-
TTON

THE ISSUE AT THE SCHOOL ELEc.
TIoN.
4. A correspondent discusses the issues
involved in the coming school election,
but omits important points that are en-.
tirely impersonal.
The question of maintaining a high
school is not involved in the coming
election. The people settled that by a
decisive vote at the election last June.
Candidates for directors should be nom.
mated from the body Of the whole peo-
pie, and not by any boss or clique on
the board.
No matter who is elected director the
high school will go up and the high
school will be carried on. The only
question is eleeting a man who will
transact public business for the public.
Another issue that should be settled
is that if the district needs any money
not provided for by taxation that it
shall be obtained on the popular plan,
instead Of by favoring some one indi-
vidual.
The old spoils idea that everything
in the form Of public business must be
MIXED for private advantage still has
strong hold on this community, and
good men frequently cannot resist the
temptation to graft
Whoever is elected director should
be publicly pledged to borrow any
funds needed on the popular loan plan,
instead of allowing the whole loan to
be hogged by some one money lender
at higher rate Of interest.
The popular loan was employed three
times in this city to reduce the graft
of the monopolist who lends money to
the public at higher rates Of interest
than the people would pay.
This school district will need perhaps
twenty thousand dollars for a few years
to pay for that building, and any man
who runs for school director should go
on record for the popular loan plan Of
obtaining money.
Let us not go back to the rut of the
past, but let public business be trans.
icted for the public and not for private
graft. II might be good plan to
print that on the school election tick.
tie.

II was ridiculous TO eensure people
for going ahead and getting the street
an front Of their property improved ON
any terms possible so long as the city
had adopted no plans and specifications
for such work.
II is high time ;he street committee
or the street commissioner adopted some
rule or plan for the uniform improve,
ment Of the residence streets, Il is
folly that il was not done long ago.
Some specifications should be laid
down by the street department, IL no
more than in a report to the city couu-
ell, saying how wide, Of what Grass.
section, and what side slope such
such streets shall bo built.
In this climate the suburban streets
can bo easily, cheaply and beautifully
improved ON AN uniform plan. But 50
far the citizen has been left TO his own
Ingenuity to construct as he pleased.
AS result some some streets have
been improved entirely at public ex.
pepse, some partly, and some entirely
at private expense.
All this is unjust, inequitable and un-
fair 60 all concerned There could be
great deal Of work done by wise co.
operation between the. city authorities

MARRIAGE A REAL LOTTERY.
Wives Drawn by Pure Chance in
Some Parts of Russia.

In some parts of Russia queer
game is still played which has much
to do with the future lives of the par
Elephants. Some prominent person in
the village announces that the annual
merry-making will be held at his
house. On the appointed day the
young men and women hasten in huge
| excitement to the meeting place.
| There are songs and games ano |
dances, but they are simply prelude
to the more important business OF the
day.
When the time comes the hostess
leads all the girls into one room,
where they seat themselves on the
benches. Laughing and chattering,
they are each promptly muffied In
sheets by the hostess. The head and
hair and figure are completely covered
and when this is done the girls re
semble mummies.
The young men draw lots and on'

Table Manners.

Always be prompt in attendance al
meals, particularly when you are the
guest of another.
Never seat yourself at table until your
host or hostess gives the signal; and
never until all the ladies present are
seated.
Always sit quiet in your chair, neither
too near the edge of the table, nor too
| far from it.
Always let the napkin lie upon one
knee. Never spread it across the breast
nor upon the lap. 1t is more customary
| in the best circles not to unfold it more
than its length.
Never lean upon the table.
Never touch anything upon the table
unless necessary, either the food or the
table furnishings.
Never take more than one dish OF
soup.
Never crumble bread into your soup,
nor into your cup.
Never press food upon guest when
he has refused.
Never be disturbed by any accident
that may occur; if possible let 1t pass
| without the slightest notice.
Never, should you be so unfortunate
as to meet with an accident, make known
your regret at the time other than by
your expression, but take the earliest
opportunity of apologizing to your host
and hostess in private.
Always, as host Or hostess, serve all
the ladies present, including those OF
your own family, before helping the
gentlemen.
Always, gentlemen, serve any lady at
your side, whether you have been pre-,
sented to her or not.
Never make a noise in slipping your
soup.
Never cool your soup by blowing upon
your spoon.
Always take soup from the nearest
edge of the plate by moving your spoon
from you.-Green's Fruit Grower.
