CHANGE IS SWEEPING.
NEW AMENDMENT OPENS WAY
FOR SINGLE TAX.
Each County VIII Regulate Its Own
Taxation--Poll Tax Is
Abolished.

Compilation of the official vote on
the various initiative and referendum
measures, as canvassed by the county
election boards, reverses the result
heretofore announced on the county
taxation amendment that appeared
under the ballot numbers S26 yes and
S27 no. Instead of having been defeat
ed. the complete figures show that the
measure has carried by majority Of
1866.
The principal change made by off,
ciaI returns was in the vote in Multi
nomah County on this measure. The
unofficial but complete tabulations
made several days ago indicated that
the bill had received an adverse ma
jority of nearly 1000 votes in Multno-
nah County. The official figures show
that it carried in Multnomah by ap-
proximately 1000.
Radical Change Made.
The amendment carried is the most
radical and sweeping of three tax
amendments submitted. The county
tax measure, as it is commonly known
was submitted through the initiative
by the labor organizations of the State.
1t takes from the Legislature all pow
er to pass laws regulating taxation or
exemptions and gives that power sole
ly to the people, although the Legisla-
ture may submit such laws for ap-
proyal or rejection at the polls. Each
county is permitted to regulate taxa
ton within it's borders as 1t sees fit
The levying of poll tax is prohibited
The bill is regarded as having beer
designed as an entering wedge fol
''single tax" measures. Under its pro
visions county whose voters We're SC
disposed might adopt that system
even though the measure could no
muster strength in the state at larg'
to be made a state law. The full tex
of the amendment follows:
Text of Amendment.
Article TX of the Constitution of th
state of Oregon shall be, and hereby !
amended by inserting the following
section in said Article TX, after sec
ton / and before Section 2, and
shall be designated as Section Ia

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou-
 bles. A Stafford Springs Citizen
 Shows How to Cure Them.
 Many people never suspect theiI kidneys. If suffering from a lame. weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think il will soon correct itself And so il is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pilla. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Stafford Springs people testify to per. manent cures.
 Napoleon BilIodeau, Main street. Stafford Springs, Conn. says: "1 suffered from dull headaches for q long time, especially at night. When arose in the morning I was tired and lang7id. Finally reading about DOan's Kidney Pills. procured a box from Eaton's drug store and found almost immediate relief through their use. can recommend this remedy without the least doubt of it's efic. iency." !"

The trustees of Monson academy have been officially notified of a be- quest of $5000 It is to be known as the George L. Newton fund. and the income will be used to help needy students. MT. Newton had lived in Worcester for many years, and was a prominent member and deacon of the Congregational church in that oity. He was generous in his church contri buttons and to other forms of religi- ous, as we'll as educational and charitable work. He gave $40, 900 to Memorial hospital in Worcester about three years ago, thereby pro- viding for the Newton ward. For the most part MT. Newton made His gifts quietly and with no publicity. He was born in Brimfleld, son of John and Mary Prince Newton, and was educated there and in Monson, going to Worcester when 8 young man. He became a clerk and book keeper for J. N. Larned in his wholesale grocery on Allen court. The business went into the hands of Jeremiah Larned, and MT. Newton was admitted to the partnership Jeremiah Larned died 2l years ago, and MT. Newton con- ducted the business as Larned, New ton & Co., until 1906, when he sold it out, other wholesalers buying the stock Two years before he gave up business MT. Newton was in poor health, suffering from heart disease. His poor health was the chief reason for him giving up business. All his life he was a hard worker. and began business early in the morning and stayed with 1t until late at night. He made profitable business of it, and was considered one of the leading wholesalers fin that section of the state. Mr. Newton was not a mem- ber of any social clubs or organiza- tions. He was a member of the Con- gregational club He was Q home and church man. He gave away large sums of money to colleges and educational institutions, of which but little was ever known. He leaves a wife. formerly Elizabeth Shepard, daughter of Constance Shepard. many years connected with the Spy business office; sister. kMiss Sarah Newton. of this town. and two brothers, Hon. Charles o. Newton of Homer, N. r and Alfred J. Newtonof Los Angeles His brother, Charles. was at the bed side when he died. MT. Newton leaves an estate said to be worth about $2OO, 900.

Arms and the Man.

One William Garvens. a manufactur- CT of Hanover. who has been ennobled by Emperor William, indulges with humor that may or may not be uncon- scious, in satire on the customs of German nobility by adopting as a coat of arms his trademark representing a pair of scales on one side of the shield and on the other a man working a pump. Should there be any widespread disposition to follow Herr Garvens' example. it must shock esthetic souls to contemplate the future of German heraldry. With armorial bearings de- picting products of the mill and shop staring one in the face on every hand. it will be a question if the survival of heraldry is worth while. Stripped of it's dignity and it's romance. this tra ditional institution will have lost it's prime appeal to knightly pride. How ever, there is no mistaking the fact that knightly pride is the down grade, anyhow. When knights began wearing frOck coats and tall silk hats the beginning of the end was in sight Hence the Garvens innovation is not unique in it's offensiveness. It is rather a sign of the times and it Is but one of many such showing that, where in herited privilege once was dominant utilitarianism now holds swa y.-Pitts- burg Chronicle-Telegra
