Her Own Coin.

There was quite scene the other
night at certain bridge party. A loser
paid a lady with her own l. 0. US.
The lady said it was most ungentle-
manly. She said she wouldn't have
minded being paid back in her own
coin, but she disliked paper money

creased taxation for the secssionists
is shown by the experience of E. A.
Schiller, the well known local tailor,
who owns some property in the city of
Rood River. To the East Oregonian
Mr. Schiller has exhibited his tax re-
ceipts and they show that during the
first year of the existence of Hood
River county Mr.. Schiffler's taxes in
creased 61.4 per cent. His 1908 taxes
which were paid in Wasco county,
amounted to $3.50. His 1909 taxes,
the first levied after the creation OF
Hood River county and which he paid
on February IA. 1910, amounted to
S13S. Therefore the creation of the
new county cost Mr.. Schiller the sum
of $3.50 during the first year OF
Hood River county's existence
81 have always said that it is fool
ish to divide counties" declared Mr..
Schiller. ut only means additional
expense and increased taxation"

ABUSING THE INITIATIVE.

Initiative for Matters of General
Interest.
THE initiative privilege is valua-
Bile right and the people of Oregon are
fortunate in the possession OF the
same 1t is a right though that should
be used with discretion. If the initia.
tive is invoked Unfortunately it
will be of injury rather than of bene.
fit," says the Pendleton East Ore.
gonlan in its issue of July 10.
BY the nature of things the initia.
tive should be used for the settlement
of questions that are OF general state
interest and questions upon which the
people at large are capable of judg-
ing. It was proper that the direct pri.
mary lave be enacted under the init,
iative. The law could not have been
enacted in any ether way. Legisla-
lures elected under the Old convention
system would never have passed the
direct primary law. 1t was proper
that the corrupt practices act be en-
acted under the initiative and refer.
endum. That law pertains to political
morality and the people were able to
judge of the merits OF the law. 1t Is
all right to settle the normal school
problem under the initiative. The
legislature has utterly failed to handle
the question.
But the most glaring abuse of the
initiative is on the part of those who
nave proposed county division meas.
ures. Eight bills have been filed ask
ing for the creation of new counties
or for the changing of boundary lines.
In each case the question involved is
OF purely local nature; not of state
interest. 1t will be impossible for
the people of the state to Judge OF
these measures with intelligence. All
division disputes should have been
held in allegiance pending the passage
of a law calling for the settlement of
such disputes by the people directly
concerned. The county divisionists,
however, have refused to wait. They
have submitted their bills in hopes
the people will vote blindly for them.
They have abused the initiative priv
ilege and they should be rebuked for
doing so. Every county division bill
should be voted down.
Insist that the Initiative be used
only when it may be invoked with
propriety."

almost of deAdly monotony. Her rare
meetings with Hozier marked bright
spots in a dull round of hours. During
their small Intercourse she had discOv-
cred that be was well informed They
had bit upon few kindred tastes in
books and music. They even differed
sharply in their appreciation of favor
lite authors And what could be more
conducive to complete understanding
than the attack and defense of the
shrine of some tin god of literature?
While, therefore it was strange that
Captain Coke should actually propose
visit to the bridge at an unusual
time-at a tine, too, when Hozier
would be on duty--it struck her as far
more curious that he should endeavor
to prevent an earlier meeting.
