Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDOrts.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
Of. trade says:
Seasonablc weather and further
increase in the percentage Of active!
machinery combined to improve the
trade situation, although there IS
still large number of unemployed,
and dealers proceed cautiously In
preparing for future business. Prices
of commodities have declined on
the whole, yet products of the lead
ing industries are fairly well main
tanned. Mercantile collections are
irregular, despite the ease in the
money market
More iron and steel plants have
resumed, and the outlook Is brighter
even railway equipment attracting
more attention. The situation is bet
ter because of the extent to which con-
sumers seek prompt delivery, indi-
eating that the recent season of con-
servatism has nearly exhausted
stocks, and suggesting that when
confidence is fully restored a vast
tonnage of deferred business will be
placed.
Textile markets are still somewhat
unsettled, cotton goods having to con-
tend with erratic variations in the
raw material, in addition to other
disturbing influences In some direc-
lions there is more activity, but IN
other cases there are frequent I'M
quiries without actual transactions.
Contamination of much business
seems to be postponed by the ques-
ton of price. Manufacturers have
more confidence in values, and are
sustained by the pressure for quick
shipment

Hopes Sweet voice is e'er repeating.

Joy is coming by-and-by.

Haste the moments, let them fly

The writer has not the assessment
Of Umatilla at hand, but some of the
figures Of Clackamas are at hand.
Out of about sSOOO,O 900 Of land values
assessed there the farmer cannot own
$3,OOO,O00, for all the improved farm
Ing lands do not reach that figure. In
Washington county it is estimated
that the taxes on farm lands would
be increased 20 per cent, but as in
Clackamas the farmers own improve
ments, livestock, machinery, etc.. more
than equalling the unimproved values
of their places. The average farmer
would pay about 1920 where he now
pays 500 ON HIS LAND VALUES,
but he would not pay anything on
his Improvements, livestock, house
hold furniture, etc, where he now
pays 800 on them.

PLEADS FOR SINGLE TAX AMENDMENT

Zealand, for more than a decade.
Works the same way. Demonstrates
that land values are the cheapest
to assess, TO collect from. Demon
strates that labor and developing
capital rush in where they are Of
fered the least resistance in the shape
of fines OF taxes. There is no doubt
that 1t would work the same way in
oregon.
People in Oregon, as elsewhere,
must have land. No matter how
much you tax It the land stays where
the Creator put 1t. Has to. But
when you tax labor or its products,
capital, they will move If they can
to the free states or commonwealths
where people are ready to welcome
them.
Now 1t is calmly claimed by some
of the opponents of this amendment
that II will double the taxes on the
farmer" and make the farmer pay
all the taxes" This Is absurd on its
face II the man to whom 1t Is SOL
EMMY told knows anything about the
matter.
In the first place the farmer does
not own the lands of oregon. Neither
including city lands or excluding
them. The assessments of the state
are notoriously UNJUST We all know
that. Farm lands are generally over
assessed, as compared with city lands.
But II we take the assessors Of Ore
gon for It the entire tllable lands of
the state do not amount to so per
cent OF the land values assessed to
Portland within its city lines.
The non-tillable lands are assessed
at nearly twice as much as the tilla-
BILE. The farmer does not own even
the tillable lands. Much OF this class
of property is held by spectators.
Nearly all the other lands outside Of
cities. and towns is timber, railroad,
swamp. road grants, etc, no.

coming recall will remedy this latter

When Booth and Mod;ctka were eo.s,ars
Hanford was in the support for both seasons,
after which he was with Julia Marlowe. In
1891 he ventured on an independent starring
season, playing Antony and Ingomar. Subse-
lquently he was co.star with Keene and later
joint star with R. D. Mclean and Odette
Tyler. Afterward he was joint star with Louis
James and Kathryn Kidder.
For six successive years Mr.. Hanford has
been at the head of his own company. the re-
sponsible business manager as well as the chief
artistic star. His success has been beyond an
anticipation, and that, too, at an epoch when
Shakespeare is popularly supposed out of
fashion. Mr.. Hanford has done yeoman ser
vice in behalf of the classic and the legitimate,
and none has worshiped more devouty at the
shrine nor kept the fires burning more brightly
on the altars of the most prodigious genius
ever allotted finite man in the fancy af the
bard of Avon.

around the genial Congressman of that name.
Much of Mr.. Hanford's artistic success and
stage popularity are due to the work of his
co.star, Miss Marie Drofnah, in private life
Mrs. Charles B. Hanford. 1t was not until
after her marriage that this charming woman
and excellent actress went on the stage, where

II was not till isss, at the age OF twenty
three, that Mr.. Hanford entered upon his pro-
fessional career that has proved so successful
and made him favorite in every city and
town of the Union. II was at New London,
Conn, that he first appeared on the profes.
sioual stage in the company of that excellent
actor, William Stafford, then starring in Shake
spearean plays. That season the young actor
gave the promise Of the excellence he later at
tained-the bloom was redeemed by the fruit
and the following season he joined the COM
pany of Thomas w. Keene, who did more than
his fair share to bring the public taste to an
appreciation of the classic and the heroic
drama, task to which Hanford has succeeded,
and In the discharge of which he has fully
equaled and probably surpassed his master.
HiS next engagement was with Robson and
Crane, playing Aegeon in their never.to.be.for.
got production Of the "Comedy of Errors"
N But il was not until he engaged with Booth
And Barrett in the greatest Shakespearean CONF
ination in the entire history of the American
tago that the general public came to know and
10 appreciate the extraordinary talents of Mr..
Hanford as an actor. He toured the country
for three seasons supporting these two famous
sctors, and In "Julius Cesar" he divided the
applause with even Booth himself, though he

adequate complement to the Brutus of Booth

Charles B. Hanford, at forty-eight, is in hin
prime, sterling actor, an estimable gentleman,
as admirable in private walk as he is eminent
IN professional life. Born in California, May
IS, 1859, the boy Hanford was brought East
some years later and was educated in WASH
ington, graduating from the high school in
1881. He was destined for the bar, and
studied to that end at college and in law
school, but man is helpless in the tolls of fate,
and so il came that Hanford was drafted from
the calculations of the recondite principles of
Coke on Littleton and set to interpretations of
the exhaustless fancies and multitudinous phil
osophies of Shakespeare. Before that, how
ever, he was secretary to Horace F. Page, long
a leading member Of Congress from California
and a pillar of the movement to give Gen.
Grant third nomination in 1880! In Wash
ington young Hanford saw muck Of official and
political life and for a time he was a clerk in
enc Of the departments.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-07-02

1t is currently reported that State
Treasurer Edwards is seriously con-.
sidering the advice of friends to dis
regard that part of the state deposit
DRY law requiring the acceptance of
bonds of surety companies by the
banks bidding for the custody of state
funds, and to let them institute man
damus proceedings to force him to
accept such bonds if they care to do
SO.
Mr.. Edwards has bitterly opposed
the acceptance of this form of secur-
ity, but was outvoted by the other
members of the commission, and as
he reagrds his own responsibility for
the funds still binding even when the
money is let out to the repositories, it
very probable he will take the course
mentioned. in spite of the decision of
the Supreme Court on the validity OF
the law, although at the same time
criticising the surety bond feature of
it. The result is awaited with a good
deal of interest, especially by the
banks and the surety bond concerns.
