in Pendleton banks. than is assessed
in the entire state of Oregon!
Is it not time for the legislature
to pass a law that will reach this
form of property? Shall the farm
ers and merchants and the owners of
small homes, that cannot be hidden
behind a labyrinth of technicalities,
continue to pay the tax while the real
property holder, the owner of idle
wealth. of untold riches in the form
of money, priceless franchises and
privileges escapes entirely?
Under present laws assessors can
not reach this form of property. 1t
is practically exempt by the state.
And yet taxes mount higher and
higher.
This session of the legislature
should pass a law fixing value on
franchises enjoyed by every private
corporation in the state. The visible
forms of property are now taxed TO
death, while millions in dividends
are reaped every year by invisible
forms of property that is never listed
on the assessment rolls of oregon.
They say it is invading private
rights to claim access to private
books and accounts, in determining
the amount of income and taxable
wealth owned by private concerns. Is
it invading private rights to inquire
the number of cattle, sheep and
horses owned by farmers and stock
men? Is it invading private rights
to fix value on the merchants stock
or the laborer's home?
Rich men have no more sacred
privileges in the eyes of free govern
ment than poor men, and there is nc
reason why every bank should not be
compelled to give every depositors
name and the amount of money car
ried, nor why every corporation
should not open its account of income
and expenditure to the assessor, so its
actual taxable properties may be as
sessed and made to bear share OF
the burden.

oREGON'S VACANT SEAT.

The Chicago American, discussing
Senator Mitchell's dilemma, says:
The announcement that United States
Senator Mitchell of oregon was en-
route to Washington to take up the
thread of legislation where he had
laid it down to hurry to Portland,
Ore, in an effort to prevent an in
dictment being returned against him
in connection with the land frauds, is
being discussed in Washington with
great interest.
The senate is the judge of the right
of any of its members to his seat. 1t
can eXpel by a two-thirds vote. 1t is
understood that it will under no con-
sideration permit Mr.. Mitchell to sit
in that body pending the settlement
of this charge of completely in land
frauds, even if he should insist upon
his right. He will be given the same
hint as was extended to Senator Bur-
ton, and that he will acquiesce there
can be no doubt.

painless menstruation, cures leucorrh9a
and ovarian troubles, and builds up the

the finest catarrh remedies l know Of"
M. c. Gee, NJ. d.
Catarrh is a systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving Il
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.
Address DR.. Hartman, President Of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.

1t is safe to say that several mill
lions of acres of public land now
filed upon in Oregon win be restored
to the government, because of the
terror of homesteaders. The cam
paign against the land frauds will
deter many nonresident entrymen
who have filed for no other purpose
than that of speculation. They will
not attempt to make proof in the
face of the CALLING fire of Heney,
Burns and Green.

tilla county delegation will secure
the passage of several highly import
ant laws, which will rebound to the
credit of the delegation, the legisla-
ture and the state. Every member
is a student and man of action and
will command the highest respect
from the legislative body. The coun-
ty may well be proud of its selection,
as it will take the lead among the
counties from Eastern oregon in the
work of the legislature.

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH.

If every man who complains of
high taxes would study the reasons
for high taxes and then make a de-
termined effort to secure just and in
telligent assessment laws, the inequal-
ity of taxation would soon disappear.
Farm property, merchandise, live
stock and other visible forms of prop
erty now bear three-fourths of the
burden. while the greatest profit
bearing property, in the shape of cash,
franchises and other invisible forms
of property escape taxation, almost
entirely.
A glance at the statistics of Oregon
will cause many to think deeply on
this subject and wonder why legis-
latures cannot pass more comprehen-
sive assessment laws.
In 1898. the assessment rolls of
Oregon returned the sum of S3,136,-
S97 while in 1905, after 10 years of
unprecedented prosperity, the rolls
returned but s1.S75,97O. while the
banks in Pendleton, alone, carry de-
posits approximating s2.OOO,OOO.
1t is no wonder taxes on real estate
farm property, cattle, horses and
sheep are high, when the entire enoT-
nous amount of cash in Oregon goes
scot free!
More money is carried on deposit

Two old debts hang over Oregon's
head which the present session of
the legislature should cancel-$60,160

and should be wiped from the slate,
at the beginning of this year, while
there are no other heavy obligations

SISTER SUPERIOR.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-07

The death struggle with saloon
domination in Oregon is now on. For
a quarter of a century they have
dictated to political parties. to cities
and communities in Oregon. They
have held a rein over every politic-
ian who hoped to win in his aspira-
tions, and have practically made
moral conditions in oregon cities
what they are today. The taste of
prohibition which Oregon has taken
will inspire greater effort next time.
1t was not thought the saloons could
be defeated in many of the older COM
munities in Western Oregon, but the
result in Benton county gave the pro-
hibitionists hope. Corvallis, one of
the principal school towns on the
Pacific coast has had an unsavory
record for being tough" for years,
but when the people became aroused
and exercised their privileges and eX-
ecuted their heartfelt sentiments, sa-
loon domination vanished as it will
in every other community in the state
where there is a demand for moral
surroundings and clean government.
The old element that is responsible
for its domination is now woefully
small. The later generation and new
citizenship rushing from the east and
south to the Pacific Coast, will soon
revolutionize conditions in the from
tier towns

Other Prominent Physicians Use
and Endorse Pe-ru-na.

NR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medi-
~ cal Examiner of the U. S. Treasury
Department, graduate of Columbia Col
lege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following to say of Peruna:
"AHow me to express my graft
tude to you for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and now
consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow Suf-
fererS, Peruns will cure you"
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their,prejudice against SO call
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people of United States.

The Christmas Tree.

German tradition persistently at.
tributes the invention OF the Christmas
tree to Martin Luther. On Christmas
Eve, 80 the story runs, he was travel.
ing alone over the snow covered coun.
try and was deeply impressed by the
contrast it made with the star. r.tespan.
gled heavens. On arriving home he
vainly strove to explain this impress
sion TO his wife and children. Sud-
denly an idea occurred to him. He
went into the garden, cut of little
fir tree, dragged it into the nursery.
put some candles on its branches and
lighted them. One Of the most pop
ulsr of German prints represents Mar
tin Luther sitting in the bosom Of his
family with a lighted Christmas tree
in front of him.
As an archaeological fact the Christ.
mas tree can be traced back almost
as far ss Luther's time, and may con-
sequently have existed then. A man.

describes an illuminated fr tree a.

Christmas festivities in that part Of

Christmas Days Origin.

There is some disagreement as to
the origin Of Christmas day. The
legend runs that in the earliest period
of the Christian church some commu-
mites Of Christians celebrated the fes-
tival Of Christmas on January /, 9TH
ers observing il on the 9th Of that
month. In great many Of the east
ern churches it was kept about the
time of the jewish Passover, near the
end of March. There is also come ev-
idsncs OF its having been observed on
September 90, being the Feast of the
Tabernacles In the year A d 325,
when the Emperor Constantine legally
established Christianity in The Roman
Empire, Christmas was observed at
the beginning Of the new year wlile
in the eastern church it was celebrated
on January 6. Pope julius eventu-
ally effected compromise, and the
25th day Of December wss established.
These historical statements have been
called in question by some, but John
Chrysostom, the eloquent preacher at
Constantinople, in the fourth century
confirms them.
1t is a curious circumstance that
some difficulty has been found in sc-
cepting the date of December 25 as
the probable day on which Christ was
born, because the close of December
being usually the height of the rainy
season in Judea, it is said that nell
ther focks nor shepherds could have
been at night in the fields of Bethle-
hem. This strange objection is con.
sidered OF such importance that it is
incorporated in almost every encyclo-
pedia and dictionary which treats of
Christmas. 1t is one of the curiosities
of literature. The present writer has
been in those parts at this season of
the year and has found no difficulty
in keeping watch by night" in the
open fields of Palestine. What is
possible for a western traveller, unused
to living in the open air, in the nine
teenth century, must have been far
easier for band Of eastern shepherds
at the beginning of the Christian era.

CHRISTMAS.

The stars that shine on Christmas night
Beyond all other stars are bright
For in their brightness shines restored
The one great star whose light outPoured
Has led all nations to the Lord;
And all night long with solemn voice
They cry again: Rejoice Rejoieel
The wonder Of the Christmas dawn
No other morn has yet put on.
Oh, wan white radiance, breaking slow
On field and woodland wrapped in snow
On the worn cities and their woe;
oh. holy message breathed again!
Peace on earth. Good will toward men.
And now unto the newborn King
Bring We our lowly offering.
Lord. take ourselves. our hopes. our fears
Our griefs, our memories. our tears,
The harvest of our troubled years;
We bring them all to Thee, to Thee.
And 10, once burdened, we are free.
