COMMITTEE ON
REST ROOM NAMED
MAYOR DAvY SELECTS THREE
ALDERMEN TO INVESTIGATE
PROPOSITION MADE BY THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - TO
CARE FOR WOMEN SHOPPERS.

| Aldermen Kiefer, Lamb and Stan
ford have been appointed by Mayo
Davy a special committee to take III
the question of restroom and thu
tender of the use of a room in tn,
basement of the new Presbyterian
church, for such a purpose, as con.
tanned in the proposition which Rev
Donald Mcintyre made to the mayor
and city council last Monday night
The committee is to look into the
whole question of rest-roorns for the
women shoppers, who come to Moor
head and it will also inspect the room
which the Presbyterians so magnani-
mously offer to place at the disposal
of the city. The general convenience
of the location will also be considered
by the committee.
Merchants Are Benefited.
The proposition made by Pastor
Mcintyre has revived the discussion of
a matter which has been agitated be-
fore as to why the merchants do not
provide the same or similar con-
viences for their patrons especially for
the women.
The story is told of two very liberal
women patrons of a store in a city
not very far from Moorhead. They
had been trading there for years and
more than once they had suggested
to the proprietor the necessity for a
restroom and what an attraction it
would be for his place of business, es-
pecially women customers who had to
drive in from the country long dis
tances. Something happened one day
which appealed to the two women and
their indignation was aroused They
said there were other towns and they
mad learned that there were business
men who were more considerate of
the interests and comforts of their
patrons in more ways than one. The
outcome was the transfer of a big
chunk of business to other stores and
to another town, because the propri-
etor took no heed whatever to the
suggestions which had been given
him. Not only did he lose the pat
ronage of the two women. but a num-
Der of others. The business man,
however, woke up to the situation pro-
vided with a rest room, furnished IL
with every convience he could think
of and ne now says that it has paid
a hundred fold and kicks himself for
not thinking of it before.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.
(East Oregonian, July 81

Voters of Oregon will be compelled
to pass upon 80 legislative measures
when they vote this fall. The number
is entirely too large and many of the
measures are OF such nature that
voters simply cannot hope to- judge
intelligentiy' as TO their merits.
Conspicuous In this class are the
eight county division bills that have
been filed, Each of these measures
pertains to an issue that is strictlyFlo-
cal in character. The people of the
state at large are not interested I'M
county division disputes. The average
voter cannot hope to Judge of the
merits of these division bills. From
one side he will be showered with lit
erature favorable to" division; from
another quarter he will be implored
TO vote against division. Often people
residingin the proposed new counties
do not want division 20 carry.
Now what is the poor voter to do
In the view of the East Oregonias
there is but one logical way to settl
county division problems. All thos
problems should be held in abeyanC
until law has been enacted ieavir
the settlement OF such disputes to III
people who are directly interested
them. It Is pretty certain that such
law will be passed by the next legisl
ture. Such law was passed by th
hast legislature. but fo- some unknow
reason was vetoed by Governor Char
berlain following the close OF the Sc

The labor party In Australia

The labor party In Australia has
proposed and will undoubtedly pass a
graduated land tax law. This is for
the revenues of the entire common
wealth Of Australia. corresponding to

ed States. It begins with tax of
four mills on all land values. exclusive
of improvement values, over $4,000
and graduated to "a mills on all over
$4O0. 900. This is not to be confused
with the straight land value taxation

local levy sometimes runs to "a mills
on thesdollar. The common wealth
land bill is complicated and confusing
but steplin the right direction. !.

County Division increased Taxes 81 a
-r. Per Cent
(East Oregonian. }

That county division means in
creased taxation for the secssionists
is shown by the experience Of E. A..
Schiller, the we'll known local tailor,
who owns some property in the city of
Hood 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.
II have always said that itis fool
ish to divide counties" declared Mr..
Schiller. 1T only means additional
expense and increased taxation"
