In 1900 there We're 1888 miles of
government railroads in the world
outside of the United States.
Since that year Switzerland, Italy
and Japan have taken over their prl-
vately owned lines and the principle
of government ownership has been ex-
tended everywhere, so that in 1906
there are 220,750 miles (outsde of the
United Statcs) owned by government
and only 1896 miles owned by pri-
vatc companies. It seems likely from
present indications that in a few more
years there will be hardly a mile of
privately owned railroad in all Eu-
rope except possibly in Spain. The life
of private ownership in England will
certainly he short, and the nationali-
Zation of the French roads is definite
~ settled.
l. is necessary to bear in mind these
facts in order to understand the
amaZement and mirth with which in.
tclligent foreigners learn of such leg
islative wonders of our making as the
railroad rate bill and the meat inspec-
| ton bill. To them solemn and elab,

SENATOR FULToN'S DILEMMA.

1t is said that Senator C. w. Fulton
of Oregon. is hesitating, just now.
trying to decide whether to sue the
Cosmopolitan magazine or Golfers
Weekly for libel.
Senator Fulton should give up the
libel suit and keep his fingers out of
the fire in future.
Public records are stubborn things.
Binger Hermann thought that burning
the records would hide crime. He
made mistake. 1t only multiplies
the mischief Senator Mitchell
thought friendship would cover from
human sight the telltale earmarks of
all misdeeds, His partner weakened
ard told the truth.
And so on through the category of
Oregon's sensations of the past two
years.
Both Golfers Weekly and the Cos
mopolitan magazine have indisputable
facts upon which to base their criti-
cisms of Senator Fulton. They did
not stir up the hornets nest, before
they were amply provided with gunny
sacks with which to shield their head:
from the stinging hornets.

CHOOSING MEAT.

In selecting beef for roasts or steaks
see that the lean is firm and rcd and
that the meat is finely grained. The
fat should be firm and white. Never
accept any meat which looks flabby
or discolored or on which the fat Is
yellow. In choosing mutton the meat
should he dark with plenty of fat in
it. Meat without fat shows poorly fed
stock. If the fat is yellow or the
meat seems wet or moist, do not ac-
ccpt it. As a general rule all meat
should he firm never flabby. Lamb
and veal shoulG both be light colored
palc-vcal, in fact, cannot be too
white.---pomestic Science Bulletin.

DETTER TAX LAW NEEDED.

n most important subject to Una
tilla county is the revision of the tax
collection law by which counties will
be able to collect at a minimum ex-
pense, delinquent personal taxes.
Provision is already made for the
speedy collection of taxes from the
real estate owner, but the rich man
whose wealth is hidden IN personal
property may escape entirely If he has
the nerve to refuse to pay.
This subject should be thoroughly
discussed by the mass meeting to be
held in this city tomorrow night
under the auspices of the Umatilla
county legislative delegation.
At the present time several thous-
and dollars Of personal taxes are de-
linquent in this county. The county
needs the money. County expenses
go IN constantly and the man who
upASCS MS NiAtS - llpl DeuIlllS Ills
just burden CT the government.
Unoer the present law the sheriff
is the tax collector and must bear the
expense of levying on personal prop
erty in the collection Of taxes. Since
tie sheriff is on salary he cannot
afford 10 bear this public expense and
the result is that hundreds of tax
dodgers take advantage of the stu
alton to escape paying taxes.
TIE law shorli be changed to make
the treasurer tax collector since he re.
ceives and disburscs the tax money
in the end, and at the same time thr
law should provide for the expense:
of I'll tax collections, for both per.
sonal and real estate taxes.
There are now enough sufficient
delinquent personal taxes due Umatil.

collector for a number of years.

RERUFF TO "ARIsToCRACY."

There never was time in the his.
tory CT the country when domestic
help was as scarce as it is today and
there never was a time when there
were more young women eligible to
this class of labor, if all conditions
were right to induce them to enter it.
But the independent American girl
will not be dubbed Servant"
And he East Oregonian glories in
her spunk.
With the growth of the would-be
aristocracy in the United States and
the aring Of English ways in the
American home, the splendid type of
domestic help is disappearing and
laps. Koreans, Chinese and other
classes which will submit to every
forrT of servitude are being intro
5uced.
This imitation of old world aris-
tocracy in American homes is driving
American girls into other trades and
professions. They simply will not
submit to the new classification made
necessary by the snobbery of the
times. With the true American wealth
counts for nothing in the social scale.
Character and mind are the most
worthy qualifications.

THE MONEY-CANKER

1t is entirely proper and natural
and at any rate inevitable, that
young man beginning a professional
or any other career should think of
the rewards in money, and strive to
make them as large as he honestly
can: but that man is on the way to
the condition of an irreclaimable vul-
garian whose sole or main aim is
simply to amass money without re-
gard to the means. mot failure, but
low aim, is crime" Shall not the
doctor and the lawyer and the teacher
get their "penny fee," then? BY all
means. Adequate reward for valuable
services is the right of the worker
hut the man who starts in life on any
career with the money aim as his
guide will impair his highest useful
ress to the world, and will certainly

TIIE SLEEPY SONG.

AS soon as the fire burns red and low,
And the house upstairs is still,
She sings me queer little sleepy song
OF sheep that go over the hill.
The good little sheep run quick and
soft,
Their colors are grey and white,
They follow their leader nose to tail
For :hey must be home by night.
And one slips over, and one comes
next.
And one runs after behind;
The grey ones nose at the white ones
tail,
The top Of the hill they find.
And when they get to the top of the
hill
They quietly slip away,
But one runs over and one comes
Their cplors are white and grey.
And over they go and over they go,
And over the TOP of the hill
The good little sheep run quick and
soft,
And the house upstairs is still.
And one slips over and one comes
next,
The good little. grey little sheep;
| watch how the fire burns red and
low.
And she says that 1 fall asleep.

How America Loses.

No South American merchant or
capitalist is going to North America
on a slow, semi-cargo boat with limit
ed accommodations, when there are
numerous fast steamers bound for
Europe with as fine arrangements as
the transatlantic liners. This means
the loss Of millions of dollars Of trade
to the United States every year, &C.
cording to the direct statement of
South Americans themselves,
1t Is true that there are excellent
freight steamship facilities between
Noi tn and South American ports, but
they do not meet the passenger re-
quIrements any more than would a
purely railway freight service suit the
traffic between New York and Chi
cago-John Barrett in Chicago Rec

The way 10 bring idle land and city
lots into use Is to tax them as high
as surrounding property on which i'm
ptovements have been made. The
present system of taxation makes the
man who builds and improves the
country pay the taxes, while the idle
speculator who does not build nor i'm
prove enjoys all the benefits of his
nelghhor's industry, without turning
his hand to add to the wealth of the
country. Tax the vacant lots and the
idle land held for speculative pur-
poses and make the speculator pay
his share of the burden.
