That the government will not place
a mail box at the sumpter Valley de-
pot for the accommodation Of persons
sending mall out on the train is the

states that as there is only one out
going train day and that the train
is at the depot for half an hour be-
fore its departure, patrons can drop
their letters In drop boxes Of the mail

the drop boxes on the sumnter Valley

TO CIIEAPEN FUEL.
Lewiston Consumers Will soon Get
Carload Lots.

The shipment of wood in carload
lots direct to consumers will be in
augurated within a short time If the
plans of persons interested in cheap
er fuel are successful, says the Lew
iston Teller A quiet investigation
of fuel prices in the wood districts
was commenced several weeks ago,
with the result that consumers are
assured of securing the best grades
of wood laid down in Lewiston for
about S5 and Sc per cord.
Parties interested in the movement
claim they can have the wood deliv-
cred and sawed for 81 per cord,
which would make the price for full
measure cords not to exceed 81. The
effort is now being made to secure a
sufficient number to subscribe for
wood so that carload shipments may
be brought into the city for distribu-
tion, and those subscribing will Sc
cure the benefits of the cheaper fuel
and full measure.

TAX LEAGUE EXPLAINS AMENDMENTS

thus creating a "home market" for
oregon farmers-not in Massachu-
setts but in oregon.
h-Workingmen's tools exempt.
Increased competition for workers in
factory, farm and building trades will
reverse the present order where the
only competition is that OF workers
against each other for jobs.
Sixth-Benefits merchant. Vacant
lots and land grants buy no dry
goods and groceries. With raw ma
terial worked up at home, freights
would be saved workers would have
more wages to spend and there would
be more workers, and producing far
mers would take the place of idle sec
tons. reflecting their prosperity in
that of business in general Oregon's
enterprsing merchants will never OBJ
ject TO so greatly stimulate produc-
tion by shifting the tax upon public
made values of franchises and vacant
lands.
Seventh-The banker. It will give
out bankers chance to loan our mil
lions of deposits on legitimate enter
prises instead of on speculative
schemes discounting the future - in
short give money to industries and
not TO speculation.
Eighth-It will discourage grabbing
for holdup purposes, just ahead of in
dustry. of our unsurpassed natural
resources. and make more profitable
the employment of the able brains of
our public service corporations in
their proper business as common car
riers.
Ninth-Thus the amendment is op-
posed only to his interests who fences
natural opportunity away from. la
Dor, and to such one 1t opens the
pleasing prospect of getting down
from the fence and becoming a useful
citizen.
OREGON TAX REFORM ASSN.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-02-24

To the State Press:-Answering re-
quests for concise statement, the
oregon Tax Reform association sub
mits this analysis Of the tax exemp-
tlon amedment. Its general aim is to
release inSnstry and improvements
from the repressive pressure Of taxa
ton.
Exempt dwellings. Every
new home strengthens our state. The
present law encourages gambling in
homesltes until a good site costs as
much as a comfortable dwelling. This
demand that the savings OF years be
given up for the mere chance to build
necessitates postponement and con-
gests population.
Second-Real estate agents will
find plenty to do bringing together
the land poor" man who finds with
holding from use Improbable, with
the homeseeker who can and will
gladly pay the tax when the specula-
tive value has thus been squeezed
from the purchase price, and the
house he builds and everything in 1t
will be exempt.
Third-Exempts from farm produc-
ton and improvements. The farmer.
insisting on taxing everything. always
pays taxes on everything of his own,
while the bulk of the wealth drained
from farms to cities eludes the as
SCISSOR. Farm belongings are not OF
the nature to be concealed. Consti-
tuting less than 25 per cent of the
population. farmers have been paying
more than so per cent OF the state
taxes. and the supreme court has now
abolished the customary $500 exemp-
ton. Let farmers compare the as
sessment of vacant land alongside of
them with that of their improved
farms. But. while dwellings ana
farm improvements are subject to
taxes. farmers will pay, and railroads
and city franchises will not. The only
way for farmers to have anything eX-
empt Is to exempt 1t open and above
board by law.
Fourth - Manufacturing exempt.
Manufacturers everywhere agree that
manufacturing will be stimulated

PULLMAN CARS TO BE "DRY."
Carelessness of Employees Causes
COMPANY to Stop liquor Sales.

Company to Stop Liquor Sales.
The Pullman company has decided
to discontinue the sale of liquor on
its cars in every part of the United
States, announces a Chicago report,
The order will go into effect as soon
as the liquors now on hand can be
disposed of without loss.
An order to this effect has been
sent out from Chicago to various dis
trict superintendents throughout the
United States. 1t is expected to begin
in the east and work westward and
the order becomes operative in New
England and the middle states about
March 1.
Not only have the changed condi-
tons of the last u months cut deeply
into the profits formerly derived from
this source, but on long runs liquor
can be sold for only portions of the
distance and the company is constant
ly in danger of prosecution for law
breaking through the carelessness OF
employees.

Regarding the possible extension Of
the Hood River and Sumpter Valley
railroads the Baker City Herald says:
The Herald called up Superintend-
ent Joseph A. West of the Sumpter
Valley and he sald the report that
his road would build to Prineville was
not correct, as no extension would be
made this year. Mr.. Eccles has been
considering the advisability OF ex-
tending the road from Hood River
and the Sumpter Valley from Austin
to meet at Prineville. but the work
vii not be done this year because Of
the high price of rails, the condition
Of labor. and other matters that
would affect the work. The line will
probably be extended, but not this
year.

thorough mistress of all that per-
TOMS to the development of grace
