The Astoria Budget has the follow
ing very good suggestions with refer
ence to town patriotism: Next to a
mans family. his personal friends and
his business, nothing should arouse
his energies in its behalf more thor
oughly than the town in which he
lives. 1t is his home. 1t ia the place
in which he earns his competence and
educates his family. If he wants to
make it as populous, as thrifty and
as widely known as possible, he can
not afford to be Indifferent to anything
which will furnish these ends 1t can
be said town that is not worthy of
the devotion of its citizens in making
1t widely and generally prosperous is
town in which it is not worth whilo
to live at all. If a town is worth
anything, it is worthy of our greatest
energy, whether we receive an imme-
diate dividend in dollars and cents or
whether we merely take our share of
the common benefits according to the
town and community we call homo.
Every one can be boomer. Keep
your money at home. Patronize those
who patronize You. Spend your mon
ey among home institutions where you
stand a chance to get it back. Every
dollar you spend with home man
finds its way back to your pocket. A
dollar spent in some other town goes
to help build up that town. A dollar
spent here goes tolhelp build up your
homo town. Figure it down fine and
you lose money byIbuying away from
home, even il you do get the articles
for less than what it costs you at
home.

From now on it will enlarge it's op-
erations until all the departments and
allied industries are under way. 1t
is expected to be two or three months
before the big 100000 plant is in
full operation. The completion Of this
great packing house is Zig boost for
the producers of livestock not only in
this state but throughout the North
west. The killing department is pre-
pared to handle about 500 cattle a day
as starter and has capacity of
1000 hogs and sheep. The interest
shown in livestock production through
ont the big territory tributary to that
market will largely determine the
magnitude of operations Ey the new

FIRE UNDER CONTROL
Flames i'm Forest Near Black Rock no
Longer Dangerous.

A serious fire has been raging in
the timber near the logging camps of
Black Rock during the past few days,
and on Wednesday the smoke from the
fire became so heavy that 1t was very
noticeable in Dallas and in other towns
farther out from the mountains and
nearer the willamette river.
News was received from Black Rock
Wednesday evening, however, that the
fire fighters after a hard struggle have
gained control of the flames and that
all danger of their spreading is prac-
tically past.
The fire has consumed considerable
timber, and done much damage in
general, and in the last few days ii
was feared that it would reach some
of the logging camps of the Spauld-
ing Lumber company, and also the
town of Black Rock. The fire fighters
now. however, have it under better
control than ever before, and unless a
high wind should rise it is not be-
lieved any further damage will be
done.

TAXING MORTGAGES
State Tax Commissioner Galloway
Comments on Subject.

State Tax Commissioner Charles r.
Galloway explained the taxing of
mortgages in an interview recently. He
said in part;
THE editorial in The Telegram
Tuesday evening under the title Tax
ing Mortgages is a good contribution
to tile subject We hope 1t is true as
stated that the recent letter of the
Tax Commission TO the county assess
ors has opened up the question OF
mortgage taxation in all its compli-
Gated economic aspects A fair and
open discussion of this problem can
do no harm and may be productive of
valuable results
The sudden interest being manifest
ed in the subject just now seems rath-
er unusual In view OF the fact that
nothing new has really happened. The
county assessors are acting under a
law enacted in 1907; IL is plain and
positive and admits OF no more than
one Interpretation. In the classifica-
tion OF personal property subject to
taxation (section 3. chapter 26S, laws
OF 1900 there Is included all debts
due or to become due from solvent
debtors. whether on account contract.
note. mortgage or otherwise. either
within or without this state: all pub
lie stocks; all bonds. warrants and
moneys due or TO become due from
this state. OF any county or municipal
subdivision thereof.
This oregon law Is not a mortgage
tax law. II is not the mortgage that Is
assessabie but the note. Likewise all
other notes and accounts, due or to be-
come due from solvent debtors. secur-
ed or unsecured. are assessable.
The Tax Commission has not TAX
en- up the defense Of Intangible per-
sonal Assessments as an economic
question. but we have urged county
assessors to exert their best efforts to
comply with the law In this respect as
In all others We are trying 10 follow
the law as we md r. not as we may
think II ought 10 be- That's another
