COUNTY COURT
FIXES TAX LEVY
COURT ADJoURNS AFTER BUSY
SESSIoN-STATE AND SCHOOL
TAX HIGH.

The county court adjourned Thurs
day evening after an unuusally long
and busy session.
The city limits of Joseph, Wallowa
and Enterprise were made the bound
aries of those road districts. The
matter of the appointment of road
supervisor for Enterprise district was
laid over.
The Wallowa Chieftain was again
named as the county official paper.
The tax levy for 1910 was fixed
at 1875 mills, apportioned as follows:
State, 81 mills.
County, 61 mills
County school, 90 mills.
County roads, 15 mills.
County high schools, 6 mills.
Big State Tax.
The big state and school tax are
the principal, in fact only reasons
the total levy this year is not way
beeow last years. The state tax
apportioned ito Wa,lowa county this
year is $17,4S4.9O, or almost twice
as much as it ever was before. The
highest state tax heretofore paid by
Wallowa county was $10,S27.5O, the
amount that had to be sent to Sa-
lem last year, but this year 81, 1910
more will have to be raised for state
purposes.
And at that the assessed valua-
ton levied by Assessor Miller was
reduced nearly 100000 by the
board of state tax commissioners for
the purposes of the state apportton-
ment. Most of the counties were
raised. Union county must pay $685.
S25.71 state tax this year. The Total
levy in Union for this year Is %
mills.
The only explanation for the in
creased state tax Is the increased
expenses Of the state, and the almost
criminal inactNon OF the state legis-
lature in not taxing corporations and
other special state ben eficiaries Ohio
with a bigger state expenditure per
capita than Oregon, raises practi-
cally all its revenue from state ben
eficaries.
SchooI Tax Heavy.
The amount that must be raised
for school PURPOSES is $2O,356, Of
which $19,621 is the per capita OF
81 each on 28O3 pupils, and the re-
mainder is the amount to be trans
ferred from the general fund to
make up the deficiency in small dds
tricts, where the per capita and high
est limit special levy together are
insufficient to provide six months
school as required by the new law.
Both of these big Sums, the state
tax and school tax, are compulsory
'on the county court, which has moth
ing whatever to say about the
amount.

The state legislatures to be elected
this fall will be called upon to pass
on the constitutional amendment re-
garding the income tax.
While the masses, whose limited in
comes will not be affected by the law,
are no doubt in favor of the measure,
there are many reasons why the amend
ment should not carry. The first and
principal one is that the revenue thus
to be derived is not necessary. The
constitution now provides that the
Federal government may levy a direct
tax upon the states only in time of
war, and that is sufficient.
The proposed amendment provides
that all incomes, from whatever source
derived, shall be taxed. Leading law
yers are of opinion that the law would
reach the incomes received by pur-
chasers of state and municipal bonds.
This Interpretation Of the proposed
law seems perfectly logical, and its eff
feet would be to work a hardship on
the people who have purchased bonds
in good faith, and would be in the ma
ture of an ex post facto Law.
Then, again, in the sale of bonds in
the future, the securities would NOT
bring 30 great a price, tor the reason
that the purchaser would deduct the
amount OF the tax In submitting his
bid.
The Federal government has run
along very well since the income tax
law was repealed shortly after the
close OF the Civn war, and has always
found a way to meet its obligations
without resorting to unusual methods

LETTERS FROM FOST
MASTER GENERAL
That Will Prove of Interest And
Value To Many Along Poorly
Kept Routes
The Postmaster,

Marion Ky. Sir: It is the
desire OF the Department that
you earnestly request patrons of
rural delivery routes out of your
office to paint their boxes and
the posts to which they are at
tached, a pure White color. This
course, if pursued, will not only
result in benefit to the patron in
serving to protect his box and
post from damage by the wealth
er, but will give all boxes a uni
form color and serve to fix their
identity in all parts of the coun-
try as United States mail boxes,
and will give them a much neat
er and sightlier appearance than
they now possess. 1t is also de-
sired that patrons be induced to
imprint their names and box
numbers Oh boxes IN black block
letters about two inches high.
Posts to which boxes should
be attached shall be set in an
easily accessible position at the
side of the road and boxes Sc
curely fastened to a projecting
arm of wood; or to a bracket
OF band iron about three-Six-
teenths Of an inch thick, or, if
preferred, an automatic extern
sion arm may be used.
Respectfully,
7. V. MCGRAw,
Fourth Assistant P. NJ. Gen.

The Postmaster,

lhe Postmaster,
Marion, KY, Sir:-As a result
OF general and special letters
sent out by the Department, and
the cooperation Of Postmasters
and Carriers, there has been a
great Improvement in the high
ways on which rural routes are
established. There are, howev-
er, many localities where road
conditions are bad and improve
ments imperative.
You are directed to inform
yourself with reference to the
condition OF roads and bridges
on the rural routes out of your
office, and If you find that they
require improvement you should
present the matter in the strong
est and most positive way to the
patrons and road officials, infor-
ming them that improvements
must be made as soon as practi-
cable. If, after reasonable time
has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started.
you will reporl the fact to this
office in order that action may
be taken looking to the discon-
tinuanance of the service.
The Department is not immedi-
ately concerned in elaborate
road improvements; but in the
interest of the best service to
the largest number Of patrons
it must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack OF
which is usually due to improp
er drainage, and unsuitable
grading and surface work.
which can be easily and cheaply
accomplished by timely work
md the regular use of the split
Og drag or other similar device.
Respectfully,

The thirteenth annual session
of the American Mining Con-
gress opened Monday of this
week in Los Angeles, Cal. This
annual congress during these
thirteen years has accumulated
such a large amount of mining
literature ard mining informa-
ton that it has been found wise
to establish permanent head
quarters. Such headquarters is
at Denver Col. A letter ad-
dressed there to the Secretary
by any of the mining operators
of this district will bring much
valuable information for the
asking.
This mining congress is re-
sponsible almost entirely for the
action of the United States es-
tablishing a Bureau of Mines.
President Taft appointed a head
for the Bureau the other day. |
This mining congress is also res
ponsible almost entirely for the |
action of the legislatures of some
of the states in passing laws |
looking to the safeguarding OF
mines and mine workers.
Very few people realize that
IS per cent of all the traffic ham
died by the railroads of this
country originates in its mines.
There are two million miners
in the United States and the val
ue of their production is one
thousand five hundred million
dollars annually. A part OF that
is f1uOr spar.

a vein of zinc. This vein shows
up splendidly within three feet
of the surface and the mineral is
very coarse grained and would
be very easily separated. There
is no fuor spar in it which elm
mates one of the hard problems
of zinc mining in this district.
We understand that Mr.. Persons
is now away interesting foreign
