We urge the need of reform in the
tax laws Of the state upon which a non
partisan commission has recently re-.
ported to the governor and hope that
out of all the plans and suggestions
offered the Legislature may produce a
law that will bring a more Just and
equitable division Of the burdens of
taxation.
We desire the continuation of the
present local option law for the limita-
bon Of the sale Of intoxicating liquors,
net necessarily without amendment but
without any radical change that will
impair the utility of the law which has
proved effective in controlling the sale
Of liquors in the towns that vote Eyes"
and at the same time has proved more
effective than any other law in limiting
the sale in towns voting mo-"

Delivery Team Runs Away.

Sam Burke's delivery team In a
lively runaway yesterday morning
overturned the wagon on Main street
near Clay, and dragged it for nearly
half block scattering groceries and
packages In every direction. The team
had been used to starting away from
house as soon as Mr.. Burke reached
the wagon after carrying his goods
inside. On this occasion he found 1t
necessary to make two trips however,
and while he was carrying his second
load 10, the horses, started briskly
away and had gone for some distance
before he discovered them. Finding
that there was no one to guide them,
the horses became frightened and
broke into a full run. As they came
down Washington street and turned
southwark into Main, the wagon was
overturned and dragged for some dis
tance before the team was stopped. The
damage was very slight and was
easily remedied.

DALLAS, POLK COUNTY, OREGON SEPTEMBER II, 1905

10 cents a square foot. Crosswalks
on the 60-foot streets cost the city SIS
each. Contractors pay common la
borers 1925 day and finishers 81 a
day.
Trinidad has population many
times as large as that of Dallas, but
aside from the paved streets, do not
recall any municipal improvement
here that is lacking in the live county
seat of Polk county. The street work
that is being done in Dallas this sum-
mer will prove of incalculable benefit
to the city. I have not the slightest
doubt that the improvement over for
mer conditions will be 80 noticeable
and pronounced that another year will
find the property in all parts
Of the residence district clamoring for
macadam streets.
But with all Of this betterment, 1 can
not help believing that within the next
five years the propertY-owners in the
business district will be regretting
that they did not join hands as one
man in the effort to secure the smooth
pavement. Such an improvement
would have cost considerably more
money, it is true, but it would have
been we'll worth its cost, both in USE
fulness and appearance, and it would
have relieved the taxpayers from
farther street assessments for all time
to come.
However, since we failed to get the
smooth pavement, we should be thank
full for the macadam streets, which
are thousand times better than any
we have had before, and we should
also bear in mind the fact that not one
town in fifty of the size of Dallas has
street paving Of any kind.
The scenery In the mountains sur
rounding this city is very wild and
beautiful, and is a constant delight to
the eye Of the visitor. Fishers Peak,
near the New Mexico border, towers
majestically above the city to height
of 10000 feet above sea level. To the
west is the great Sangre de Cristo
range, rising to height Of $4,000 feet,
and covered with perpetual snow
which glistens and sparkles in the
sunlight. A drive over any one OF the
numerous mountain roads leading
out from the city will we'll repay the
traveller for his time. and will prove
highly enjoyable, even though it
should recall the following story Of
the stage-driver and the tenderfoot
While seated on the top Of the stage
coach with the driver during a trip
from Silverton to Ouray, few years
ago. young traveller became exceed
ingly nervous. AS they we're driving
along a hillside, with a ravine several
hundred feet deep within a couple Of
feet Of the road, the young tenderfoot
suddenly turned to the driver and
asked: "Do people fall over there very
often2"
A broad grin spread over the drivers
face. Slowly shifting his wad of
tobacco from one cheek to the other,
and looking up with merry twinkle
in his eye, he quietly answered: mo,
son only once"

Hoboes Allowed to
 Ride On Southwestern

The Southwestern, while not a haven of rest for the weary hobo, now permits them to travel over the east ern division of the line providing they are willing to work their passage by acting as coal passers in helping the firemen stoke the engines. Some time ago the firemen petitioned the officials for an additional man on the deck of the engine to pass coal, the work be- ing too much for the "tallow pot" on the big "battleships."
 Their petition was not granted, but the irenen were given permission to carry one man on the engine free if he would break coal and pass it.

The Copper Queen
 Tax Case

According to the written opinion handed down by the supreme court Saturday the Cochise county board of supervisors were without authority to compromise the famous Copper Queen tax case of 1901, and Treasurer J. Y Gaines will be obliged to bring suit for the entire tax.
 The facts appearing in the plead- ings were that the property of the Copper Queen was assessed for the year 1901 by the county assessor, and that the territorial board of equaliza- added to the assessment, making the totsl valuation as increased S3,S33,- 03i.76. The territorial tax rate for that year wa. sI. IT on each slO0, and the tax rate of Cochise county was g 03. At this rate on the increase valuation, the taxes of the company y amounted to sl22 ,657 .O9. The com psny paid to the county treasure $23, ,265 76 The balance became de. linquent in the sum of S99, ,39l. B, and wss entered upon the back tax book.
 Suit was brought and was pending or some time, and finally a compro- mise was affected between the boardl and the company, the latter paying the expenses of the case, amounting to about 5000. Attorney.Gener Clark brought mandamus proceedings and the supreme court has decided that the compromise was illegal and suit for full recovery ordered.
 County Treasurer Gaines was seen thIs morning by PRosPEcToR repre- sentative and asked regarding the writ of maDdsmus. He stated that as yet he had not received official noti- fication of the issuance of the writ, but as soon az he did he will take steps toward bringing suit. He stated that he was willing to bring the suit at all times but wanted decision of the court as to whether or not the compromise entered into by the board Of supervisors was legal act or not. As soon as the writ is served Mir Gaines will place the matter in the hands of Tax Attorney Gilmore and other special counsel to take the mat ter into the district court.
 The amount of the original taxes, in the neighborhood of $lO0,0OO, is sub feet to interest at the rate ef per cent per month and penalties com pounded, so that the amount ROW in volved will be nearly sl25,0
 There is no doubt::but what the suit will be a long drawn out affair and will be eventually submitted to the supreme court of the United States, SO that in all probability tine matter will not be settled for a number Of years.
