THE DEADLY WOOD TICK.

y special dispatch to the Denver
Republican from Thermopolis, Wyo-
ming, dated July 29, Says:
Emmett Mann a miner who was
brought from Copper mountain a few
days ago. suffering with spotted fever
is dead. The disease resulted from
the bites of wood ticks, which are un-
usually numerous this year.
The discovery has been recently
made that when ones system becom-
es thoroughly filled with the poison
from wood ticks, there is little chance
of recovery. The ticks are deadly
poison. In parts of Idaho and Mon
tana and especially in the Bitter Root
country in the latter state. the bites
OF wood ticks are fatal in many cases,
the victim usually dying from spotted
fever.

BRYAN CONSERVATIVE ALWAYS

Mr.. Bryan's statement that he has
always been n conservative appears
to have been received with a great
deal of surprise in some quarters
There can be no question, however
that his position on the silver ques-
tion in 1896 when 1t was regarded as
the leading Issue of the campaign.
was indeed a conservative one For
more than seventy years the country
had been upon bi-metallic basis. and
both parties had over and over again
pledged themselves to It, The Demo-
Gratis merely re-afiirmed the position
In regard to coinage that they had
held ever since the days of Jefferson.
The Republicans We're the icono-
clasts in advocating the single gold
standard-a new and untried theo-
ry. Even now 1t has not been demon
strated to be safe one for the bust
ness world. as the double standard
was by centuries of use
Whether one believes that the inno-
walton was good one or the reverse.
there can be no question that the
single gold standard is an innovation,
and that business prospered on Il
double standard for hundreds of
years before the single standard was
ever suggested.
So well was bi-metallism establish
ed in the minds of the people of this
country that IL was necessary to use
secrecy and deception when silver
was demonitized in 1873. And even
in the campaign of 1896 the Repub-
licans pretended that they proposed
to return silver to its old place in the
currency. only objecting to the ra-
ito pronounced by Mr.. Bryan and his
party. And even the ratio was and
old one-the only one the country
had known for more than half a CEN
tury.
Mr.. Bryan is clearly right in claim
ing that his views on the currency are
conservative and if he had added that
they had been demonstrated to be
safe and sane" he could back up his
statements.
The single gold standard is the new
idea and the burden of proof of its
advantages is on its advocates. 1t
is stlll ON trial but no evidence has
yet been adduced to show that one
metal is as broad and solid a basis
as two metals at the fixed rates scicn-
tiflcally adjusted

The other evening they were turned

the hand who lodged in a little house

INCREASE TAXABLE PROPERTY
In Multnomah County Alone Tax Roll
VIII Be Raised $1,250,00O


A large amount will be added to the
total tax roll of Multnomah county
and of the state as the effect of the
supreme court decision. rendered yes.
terday, which declares the household.
ss tax exemption law unconstitution'
al. 1t is impossible to compute with
any degree of accuracy the total
amount of property which will be
placed in the revenue paying class by
this decision, but estimates made by
those best abb to know approximate
the increase of the state roll at from
$5,OOO,0OO to $6,OOo,OOO.
b. d. Sigler, assessor for Multnomah
county, is inclined to think that the
tax roll in Multnomah alone will be
increased from 81 ,250, 900 to 81, 500, 90
by the ruling of the supreme court
The exemption list under last years ,
assessment amounted to 1907 GA
Under the new ruling this will be
brought under the class upon which
taxes must be paid at the regular
ratio. This amount, however, does not
represent the total property which
will be affected in this county, ae
many of the smaller holdings are not
included in the assessmrut at all, and
are therefore not shown in the lost OF
exemptions.

n
such amount as the total of such prop.
erty herein enumerated shall be ex.
empt from taxation.'
The news that the supreme court had
declared this law unconstitutional was
not received with surprise by those
who were in close touch with the stu
alton.
| 81 am not at all astonished at the
decision" said Frederick w. Mulkey,
chairman of the state tax commission.
"It seems to me that the finding is a
very sound one. 1t has always inn
pressed me that the exemption law is
contrary to section I, article 8, of the
constitution, which provides that tax
alton shall be uniform upon all proper
ty with the exception of certain ex
emptions that are made by the consti.
tution.'
The state tax commission in it's last
report advanced the opinion that the
exemption of personal property is not
legal under the constitution of Ore.
gon. The report did not advocate the
elimination Of the law, but did advise
that the constitution should be amend.
ed to allow a personal property ex.
emption. If the suggested changes of
the commission were put into effect
there would be no question of the con.
stituionality of the householders ex.
emption law.
The law providing for the exemption
Of $500 worth of personal property has
been in effect in Oregon ever since
1854, with the exception of a single
year. From 1854 to 1859 there can be
no question Of the legality of the law
as the constitution was not adopted
until February Ia of the latter year.
Since that time, however, the law has
always been at variance with the pro.
visions of the constitution, according
to the decision rendered yesterday
morning.
In 1904 there was no exemption OF
personal property in Oregon. The leg
islature passed an act early in 1908
which annulled the exemption law
This bill was filed February "a of that
year. So much Protest arose against
paying taxes on property of less thar
$500 value that the special session OF
the Legislature which also convened in
| 1903 passed a new act renewing the
old exemption clause. This act was
| filed December "a, and as it was nee
essary for 80 days to elapse before il
became effective, the time extende;
beyond March l, when the tax lists
were made out. For this reason, al
exemptions were illegal for the yea
1904, and, none were made in most OF
the counties, including Multnomah
In some counties, however, it is said
the assessors allowed the exemptio,
law to remain in effect, and made ou
their lists just as they had done il
the past.
