population. This was, first, that public
lands given as homesteads should al
Waye retain the character of home
Isteads-the sites of homes. This
would permit their division as inten.
sive cultivation or other conditions
might require. But would prevent their
combination into big tracts from which
homes would be practically excluded,
to be farmed as big plantations by
| Oriental labor. In addition it was
proposed that all public lands, whether
| homesteaded or leased, should have the
condition attached running with the
| land, that they must always be cultivat-
! ed by American citizens or those who
had declared their intention to become
such. This, it was argued, would dedi-
cate the public lands of this Territory
forever to citizen population. The
land would be just as profitable to the
owner while he titled it himself as with
out this condition, while the condition
would eliminate speculative value and
would destroy the temptation to &C
quire the land merely to sell it to some
one who would exploit it with Oriental
labor. Even if the homesteader sold
it as soon as he acquired title, it must
still be the home and the means of
livelihood of American citizens.
TAX CoMMIssIoN's REPORT.
The report of the fax Commission to
Governor Frear was a really important
document. It recommended no radical
changes in taxation laws, though it
pointed ont a number of improvements
in administration. But it was the care
fully thought ont conclusions of a body
of men who had carefully investigated
our revenue system, and while not find

workable system, and one that IS as
equitable in its operations as sny sys-

ciples of taxation which il IS. which
are those in general of prevailing sys-

argument against most Of rha mere

by Governor Erear himself, and partly
by changes suggested by Secretary Gar
field. The particular features Of the
agreement will be a long period during
which payments for the land may be
made; residence restrictions such as are
considered will make strict compliance
practicable with personal and family
maintenance; and considerable period
of years TO elapse before final title can
be acquired. The avowed object of the
agreement is to make it possible for
men of limited means to take up these
lands and maintain themselves and
families while developing them and
bringing them to remunerative state;
and at the same time shall not make
1T too easy to acquire title and then

shall renew their strength" God is not
only the creator but the remover of all

would teach is the spiritual vitality. He

whe seeks for the renewal of the spirit !
receives it for the earnest asking. He
who would succeed in anything must |
give it close attention. Spiritual strength |
may be lost by wordliness. Read Gods
word and renew your strength. Always
avoid those things that are harmful to

UniverSaIist

A representative congregation. assem-
| bled at the Universalist church Sunday
| morning. The entire service was charac-
terized by solemn spirit of worship.
The choir by their excellent singing
greatly enhanced the impressiveness of
the hour. The sermon by the pastor,
Rev. Otto :. Raspe, held the close atten-
ton throughout. His theme was, "The
Worth and Power of an Aim in Life"
preached from text found in Luke's
Gosple, Chapter 8; VS., 81. I" He stead
lastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. -"
He said in part 6 Let no one be I'M
mindful of the worth and power of an
aim in life. Every man in order to make
living worth while must of a necessity
have some worthy goal of effort toward
which he moves with unvarying peril
nacity. Steadfastness of purpose is the
pGime requisite. By this principal the
light of one who has misinterpreted the
true bent of life and the nobility of press
ing forward with a beart for any fate.
Only as we are determined to make a
calm, intelligent and deliberate choice
can we hope to attain unto true greatness.
To choose well, then to act well are the
two moves on the checkerboard of life
which invariably signify success. 1t is
primarily reason and conscience that
have placed the purposeful and steadfast
man where he is in the walks of life.
The successful man is he who has taken
things into account. His perseverance is |
the embryo from which victory finds it's
development and stature"
1.-The vital and paramount aim of life, |
which should mean so much to each one !
of us, is not, fundamentally, to acquire
means to facilitate the mode of our Sec
nlar life, nor yet to accomplish certain
results which shall endow us
with prestige and render our names il
iustrlous to ages unborn, but it is above
all what we have made of ourselves-how
we have fashioned our SOULS character.
1t is not what man has in worldly goods.
nor what he has accomplished with hands
Or brain, but what he himself is in the
sight of God that is the pertinent ques-
ton. The bank account has never made
the man. 1t is in the larger view of life,
The larger conception of duty and respon-
;ibility that we must discern the true
way of living"
The pastor will take for his subject
next Sunday morning, THE Opinions
