leased by the government In 1901
the area planted with brush was 951
acres, and the value of the CROP was
over S14S,OOO. or S156 an acre. In
1903 the same area yielded $500, 600,
or over 1910 an acre. The total area

WORK FOR TAX COMMISSION.

one of the first changes in the tax
laws of Oregon, which should be con-
sidered by the tax commission is to
provide for the collection of taxes on
personal property.
With only a flat salary for the
sheriff it would bankrupt that Off
cial to levy upon and collect taxes
due from personal property, as he
must bear the expense of such action
from his own salary.
The result is that tax-dodgers take
advantage of this situation and hun
dreds of thousands of dollare are due
the different counties on persona
taxes.
The law should be changed so as tC
provide for the collection of this por
ton of the tax. just as on real estate
Where the personal property can b'
seized for taxes, it should be forced
to bear the expense of the collection
and not the sheriff.
1t is a disgrace for well-to-do tax
payers, having hundreds of dollars
worth of personal property to TAX
advantage of the weakness of the Law
and throw their load of taxes upol
others whose property cannot escape
The East Oregonian hopes to b
able to show the injustice of such
tax lodging scheme, and to stimulat
the taxpayer to begin an agitation 70

SQUEEZING THE PUBLIC.

a new form of monopoly combina-
ton is disclosed by the grand jury in
vestigauons in Chicago. The coal
team owners and the coal teamsters,
It Is charged combined The union
teamsters agreed to work only for
members of the coal team owners as
sociation. and the latter agreed to
employ only union drivers.
This forced all coal team owners
into that association and all coal team
drivers into that union, That was a
monopoly air and water tight. The
result was a raise in the price Of
hauling coal. It had been uniform
at 80 cents ton. It was raised to
$50 and 81.
The public was fleeced. 1t was the
shorn lamb and nothing tempered the
bleak wind for its benefit. Both par
ties to the combination profited by
the monopoly and through affiliations
and federations were able to defy the
public. The raise of from 80 to 200
per cent in the cost of delivering coal
had to be borne under penalty of get
ting no coal at all.
If an Independent team owner en-
tered the field to reduce the cost by
competition, the only possible way tc
do it, he was destroyed by the boy
colt and his drivers were bludgeoned
! No large consumer in Chicago dared
patronize him, because such consumer
was Immediately isolated. He was
not permitted to send out or receive
merchandise. and if he We're manu-
facturer his products could be denied
the right of transportation and thei
sale prevented everywheer in th'
country.
Such a combination is in restrain
of trade. The local grand jury ma!
deal with it under the law of Illinois
but the federal courts have duty il
the matter. unless there is a claus
in the federal law exempting union
from its operations.

JArAN's SEA WEED INDUSTRY.

4 branch of the fisheries in which |
Japan far surpasses all other coun-
tries as regards both extent and in |
genuity of method is the seaweed in
dustry. according to United States !
Deputy Fish Commissioner Smith.
In the United States, notwithstand-
ing our long coast line and seaweed |
resources, not inferior to Japan's. the
annual crop of marine vegetables is
worth only $4,000, whereas in Japan
these products are worth not less than
$2.OO0 600 and are exceeded i'm value
by only four animal products of the
fisheries. Many kinds of algae are
gathered and many uses are made Of
them The local consumption is
enormous, and large quantities of
prepared seaweeds are exported to
China, Europe and elsewhere.
Among the most valuable kinds Of
seaweeds are the kelps (laminari)
which are taken in immense quanti-
ties on the more northern coasts, par
ticularly in Hokkaido. The plants
are prepared for market in a great
variety of ways, under the general
name of kombu. Kombu is one of the
staple foods of the country, being
eaten alone as a vegetable or as u
seasoning for meats, fish, stews, etc,
This business has been carried on since
about 1880, employs thousands of
men, women and children, and is
worth from 100000 to 100000 a
year.
/ Various algae with soft, pulpy
fronds are dried by the fishermen and

LIES TRIUMPH.

Each life has one grand day; the
clouds may lie
Along the hills, and storm winds
fiercely blow,
The great red sun shine like a thing
of woe.
And deaths sad skeleton stalk
grimly by.
Yet none of these, no matter how they
try,
Can shroud the perfect triumph we
shall know,
or dim the glory that some star
will show
Set far away in depths of purple
sky.
Sweet love may bring to us this day
supreme,
Or it may thrill our souls through
art or song,
Or meet us where red battle-sur-
ges foam;
Hopes stranded wrecks the barren
coasts may CLEAN,
And weeks and months rush by a
sombre throng,
But some time, somewhere, it will
surely come.

READJusTING THE WEST.

After exhausting the educational
features of the Lewis and Clark fair
what actual good will come to the
Northwest from it?
This is a question that is asked in
every community and it is peril
nent question.
The East Oregonian firmly believes
that a lasting and vital influence for
the future will come of it. and here is
how it believes such influence will
come: Through a visit TO the fair
thousands of Fasteners with small
sums of money will be attracted to the
large areas of farming land now held
in the Northwest and gradually the
owners of 1OOO-acre fields will yield
to the pressure to sell and as a direct
result of the fair, the wheat belt of
Eastern Oregon will witness an in
crease of from 90 to so per cent in
population in the next five years.
It is folly to expect this lasting
benefit to come this year. Men with
money to invest do not jump at the
first ofefr. usually. but they will re-
turn to their homes in the east, talk
over what they have seen in the
West. and one by one viii sell and
come to the Northwest where they will
slowly invade the great wheat farms
now owned in. 1OOO-acre tracts by in

STOP BLACKGUARDlNG THE NEGRO

The PittsborO Record says that a
remarkable debate was had in that
town one night recently, between
some of the most intelligent colored
citizens, upon the proposition "That
it is best for the colored people that
they are dsfranchised. y The affirma-
tive was represented by the two most
influential cOlOred men in the county
when the negroes could vote, and it
won. The debaters for the affirma-
tive asserted that there is now and
has been ever since the suffrage
amendment was adopted, IL more
friendly and kindly feeling between
the whites and the blacks. They de-
clared that the colored people were
better off i'll every respect now than
they had ever been and were perfectly
satisfied and contented with their
present condition" Commenting on
this the Charlotte Observer says:
The facts are exactly as stated and
the result of the debate shows with
what good grace the black people
have accepted the situation. They
have not repined. been sullen or ugly
about it; and in view Of their good
behavior under their disfranchise-

Cost of Running a Daily.
Newspaperdom.

Newspaperdom
What does it cost to run a daily
newspaper was recently asked the
writer One might as well ask what
it costs to run a hotel or store ora
railroad, says the Nashville (Tenn.)
American. 1t depends on the size.
The expenses of the average daily
newspaper are much larger than
most people suppose. Some figures
recently published give Il general
idea of what it costs to run a news
paper. For instance, the weekly
composition bill, the cost of typeset-
ting on the Boston Globe is about
81, 100, and the same on the New
York Herald On the st. Louis
GIobeDemOcrat it is about $1,000.
On the Cincinnati Enquirer it is 49,,
200. For special kilograms the
Chicago Tribune pays over s., 900
month. YThe Cincinnati Enquirer
over 5000, the New York World
about $4,000, the st. Louis Globe
Democrat SD, 900 and the Boston
Herald $4,000. This in addition to
the Associated Press, which costs so
much per week, according to the size
OF the town and number of papers
therein receiving it.
The cost of white paper is one of
the large items. The New York
World pays about 100000 Il year
for white paper, the Chicago News
about $500. 900, the Boston Globe
and Herald about $3.50, 900 each. the
Cincinnati Enquirer about 100000
while Il number of papers pay from
800, 900 to $3.50, 900.
These are among the larger items
of expenses On the large papers
where many men are employed in the
editorial and news departments the
salary list runs into the thousands
Ink, postage, freight, express, steam,
electricity, etc, form items of expense
amounting to many thousands. The
circulation or distribution depart
ment and the business office are also
items of heavy expense. 1t costs an
enormous sum to publish II metro
polltan newspaper. The smaller ones
are propOrtionately costly. Millions
have been sunk in the attempt to
publish daily newspapers. 1t is an
easy way for the inexperienced to lose
their money. a newspaper is a
growth. not creation. 1t is the re-
suit OF time, money and experience.
