TAX FIRE INSURANCE.

1t is estimated that between 5000
and $4,000 in premiums on fire in
surance policies are sent out of Pen
dleton each year by the large COM
panies operating in the city. These
companies have no taxable property
in the city and their incomes are
practically all profits.
1t has been suggested that the city
charter be changed to permit of a
tax on the insurance premiums sent
out of the city. There is now small
state tax, but the people have a right
to impose a local tax, through their
charter, and this matter should be
looked into and the necessary charter
change be made at the coming city
election.
By a small tax on fire insurance
premiums, the city could greatly add
to its fire equipment and pay large
portion of the expenses of paid fire
department, if such is deemed neces-
sary with the growth of the city
These rich companies should GER
tainly help pay a part Of the fire
protection expenses of the city and
this enormous out-go of money should
be taxed for that purpose.

GRAFT.

Two hands lay on sleeper's bosom;
one awoke in the night and
said:
Now must I go on my night ma
rauding; the loots unguarded,
the guards a-bed."
The other pleaded: Lie still, my
brother; wait and work in the
open light
But the Graft Hand meanly glared at
his brother there in the murky
hour of the night.
One was red with the stain of Plum
der and one was bright as the
noon aflame;
One was restful and pure and comely
one distorted with Crime and
Shame!
Now must I go," the Graft-Hand
muttered, "now, the unwary
worlds asleep.
So, through the night, while the
Workers slumbered, softly de-
parted in stealth to reap!
And there in the morning the sun
light kissed them-the tive
hands lying side by side.
The world knew not of the midnigh
plunder-the stain on the rob
ber was not deserted!
And then the white hand child thu
other: "See, where your plum
der hath left a spot"
But the Graft-Hand, glutted with loo
and booty, answered only: "Te
world knows not"
"Have-have you, my brother. n
thrill of Honor? Is your bloo'
as water?" the white hand said
The other but drew its booty closer
! its eyes were lustful and dul
/ and red:
"Ah, but the call of merry marauding
What to me are your empt
codes?
Give me the zest of the Plunder
Pathway and you may folloN
your humdrum roads,"
But see," said the other, "The ligh
betrays you! Now do they kno'
who hath robbed his friend!
Now do they follow your tell-tal
pathway! Plunder is sweet, BIT
the end? the end?"

THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE.

The country is so prosperous, every
body you meet seems so engrossed in
business, there is such an air Of
thrift everywhere, there is such a
busy, bustling, dynamic progress all
about you, that really it is almost i'm
possible to picture any other view of
life than the roseate view.
Young men and women have caught
the spirit of the busy age and are
happy and joyous on the cherry bios
som paths of life and live in the
eager pursuit of knowledge and
wealth. Wherever you go you hear
the talk of getting rich; you see the
money desperation pictured on the
faces and you feel safe and contented
to think the country is so prosperous,
and yet
Let US go down to the Salvation
!,rmy barracks and hear the other
side of life.
There, in secret and sorrow, old
people too decrepit to work, too Ill to
Fecp soul and body together, go day
ly day and pour out their pitiful
story of poverty and want and sick
ness and privation. There the
widow goes, who tries to hide her
poverty from the world, yet who
gladly takes a pair of cast-off shoes
for her baby, a warm and faded dress
for herself or any other proffered
charity that may be forthcoming.
There you hear the story of misery
which is hidden under the yer!
shadow of the abounding prosperity
of the seemingly happy age. There
you see the poor and needy goins
daily, to receive the scanty help tha
may be offered, striving heroically t
keep the wolf away and to avoid ask
ing for public aid.
1t does one good to know of thi
nluuen misery, dl llilSs' iHc iiHS
Of good times, the hurrah of prosper
ity blinds the eyes and deafens tn
ears of many really sympathetic peo
pie. They need a sight of the thinl
clad, poorly fed, scantily housed deni
zens of the outskirts of the town t
bring them to a realization Of thei
own splendid blessings.
1t is not all glory and sunshine
There is another side of life. In ou
own full flush of prosperity, let
not forget that other side. Let u
visit it at times and kneel with 1t /
its abject misery. 1t will make ou
own blessings seem brighter.

TO CHECK LANDLORDISM.

Landlordism is just as much Of
menace in Umatilla county or Union
county or Sherman county, as it is in
Ireland, England or Scotland. Con-
centration of rich land into the hands
of the few anywhere on the earth,
means, primarily land famine among
the many. 1t means that people need
ing homes are deprived of them by
speculative landlords.
Governor Chamberlain voiced sem
timent often spoken by the East Ore
gonian, in his address before the ir-
rigation congress in Sacramento, yes
terday. He declared that there should
be some graduated tax on land hold
ings, some system Of taxation which
would make the holding of immense
tracts of land Improbable.
That is the only cure for landlord
ism. Every man has a right to buy
and own as much land as he is able tc
buy. A free country cannot curtai
his right. But free country car
protect itself by taxing large holding

BUSINESS DISLOYALTY.

There are a number of Pendleton
grocers who continue to handle and
urge upon their patrons, the butter
manufactured by the Walla Walla
creamery, when Pendleton creamery
makes just as good, or a better arti-
Gle and sells it at the same price.
This disloyalty to Pendleton insti-
tuition does not show a good town
spirit. Suppose everybody in Pendle-
ton ordered their groceries from
walla Walla or Portland. How long
would Pendleton grocery stores live?
How long could they pay their en-
ployes and conduct a business?
The same argument applies to the
patronage of other home concerns
II we expect to build UP Pendleton
keep payrolls here and make 1t 6
manufacturing town, we must patron
ize home concerns and see that they
have preference over foreign concerns
This disloyalty to a home town will
build up Walla Walla institutions, bu
how much money does the Walli
walla creamery spend in Pendleton
How much is it interested in the wei
fare of this city?
By patronizing a home institution
you make business for the dairy farm
ers in this county, who in turn spenC
their money here. Let us quit build
ing up foreign concerns while our owl
languish.

One of the most disgusting social
developments of the age is the fire.
quency of the divorce. This week
several divorce cases have been filed
for people who were married in the
year 1907. Before the year is over
they have sought the solace of sep
aration. Surely there must be a lot of
ignorance before marriage or else a
lot of deviltry developed soon after
marriage to make such an early di-
vorce necessary. If 1t only affected
those concerned the matter would
be of less consequence, but every di-
vorce has demoralizing effect on sur
rounding homes. 1t lessons the re-
spect for the matrimonial life In
others and it is safe to say that every
divorce granted makes another pos
sible by its effect.

WOMMACK Ii RACE TO STAY
A RumOr is contrsdicted and a Mis-
take IS Corrected

Through inadvertence on the part
Of the printer the name Of Mr.. ]. G..
womack, candidate for sheriff, was
omitted from the announcement col
umn in the last two issues Of the Gra-
dy County Express. A change in
foremen in the office was the cause
Of the ball-up which the publishers sin
cerely regret, especially since it tend
ed to confirm a report that got out
that Mr.. womack had withdrawn from
the race.
The Express is authorized to say
that Mr.. Womack has not withdrawn,
has not even thought Of such thing
but is in the race to stay until the
end. Mr.. Womack was in town today
and he says he feels good over his
prospects and the strong support he
has been assured. Il am in the race
to stay and to win," said he. This
ought to set at rest any rumors to the
contrary.
