Would Like
to Vote on
It Again

Asking for newspaper vote on the
question of capital punishment, num-
erous letters are being received at the
office of Governor West Many Of the
writer's are persons who say they were
misled by the anti-capital punishment
measure as stated on the ballot, and
that when they voted that murders
should hang for their crimes in Oregon
they thought they voted against capi-
tai punishment
Aside from the letters in which a
newspaper vote us asked for, many
other epistles are being received in
which the writer's say they voted just
the opposite from what they believed
they we're voting.
Those who advocate newspaper
vote would have the question to be
placed plainly whether the seven
doomed men now at the state prison
are to hang for their crimes
There is no indication that news
paper vote will be made of that pro-
cedure will take any other course than
that already outlined by Governor
West namely the execution of the mur
derers on Friday, December 10, with
the possible exception of the Humph-
rey brothers whose appealed case will
be argued in the supreme court on
Wednesday of next week.

A Uniform
System Of
Taxation
OREGON PROPERTY VERY UNE.
QUALLY ASSESSED BECAUSE
EACH ASSESSOR FOLLOWS HIS
OWN IDEAS INSTEAD OF A SYS.
TEN.

That there should be a law providing
for a uniform system of taxation, at
least in each county if not in the state
as whole, is the opinion of members
Of the state land board. 1t is the as
sertion of members of the board that
legislation along the line of uniform
assessments will be the most import
ant question to be considered by the
next legislature.
A statement was made today that
while the assessment on land through
out the state should be from so to 60
per cent Of its value, the actual as
sessments, except in a few instances,
do not go higher than from 20 to 35
per cent.
"There is an absolute lack of system
In assessing land in the Oregon coun-
ties" said one member of the board.
"The trouble Is that the county as
SCISSORS take the values from the rec
ords in the court houses instead Of
making actual trips into the rural
districts and making an examination
of the lands. In many cases where
land has been sold the new owner OF
the property is assessed according
to the new valuation Of the land, while
theseller Is still assessed on his re-
naming property, according to the old
valuatio n.
"As a rule farm property is not as
sessed at more than 50 or 60 per cent
of the assessment OF city property. In
Salem, for example, property is as
sessed from 40 to 50 per cent higher
in proportion to its value than is
property outside the city limits"
Asked if he believed that the scheme
of appointing deputies in each precinct
of the county would mend this diff
Guilty, the member of the land board
said that 1t might help to some extent
but that it presented a difficulty in
that all of the deputies would not pro-
ceed according to a fixed system.
Showing the lack of system, cases
in different counties now on recrod IN
the state land office were cited In
Clackamas county S5 acres appraised
at $4,000 was shown to have been as
sessed at 1870. A track of l57 acres
in Crook county which was purchased
for $500 cash in 1910, and which is ap-
nraised at the same amount has been
assessed at $1O2O. A 4O-acre tract IN
Hood River county a county which has
record for high assessments was
purchased in 1910 for $1,000 and is as
sessed at s2251. In Malheur county an
SO-acre tract, purchased in 1910 fo'
s225O. and appraised at the same
amount, is assessed at $Sl5.
umatilla county makes a Det'eI
showing. A tract of 296 acres pur.
chased seven years ago for $500, and
now appraised at $500, is assessed Al

Bulgarian history-played the all
important part. 1t was to the
national assembly, which met I'M
der the auspices Of this regency,
and which acted in strict contraven-
ton Of the wishes of the Tsar Alexan-
der III. of Russia, that King Ferdi-
nand owes his crown. Thus, when the
young prince-then only twenty-six
years of age-accepted the rulershiD
Of Bulgaria, 1t seemed as If he was
to be encountered by difficulties
which only one of the cleverest
among men could have surmounted.
Throughout the twenty-five years Of
his reign the qualities which were de-
icient in Prince Alexander, and
which caused his downfall, have con-
solidated the position of King Ferdi-
nand. His majesty by his tact, ambi-
ton, able craftsmanship and diplo-
matte knowledge, has carried every.
thing before him. Internally and in
ternationally the reign Of King Ferdi-
nand has been what might be COM
pared with a series Of stepping-stones
from difficulty to success. II his
majesty has made use of the various
political parties In Bulgaria In order
to further his own ends, he has new
er lost sight of the ultimate interests
Of his subjects In SO doing. King
Ferdinand may occasionally have ap-
pointed or procured the retirement OF
cabinets by somewhat unorthOdox
means. but while he has always been
his own foreign minister, he has at all
times placed his entire confidence for
all internal affairs In the government
actually In power Perhaps the se-
cret Of his success has been that from
the first he grasped the fact that the
Bulgarians must be ably led by
clever diplomacy In order that they
should be secured the position of i'm
portance among the European nation.
alities which they so well deserve.
During the first period Of his reign,
which may be said to have lasted
from 1887 to 1891 or 1892, the prince,
who for the moment wisely contented
himself with consolidating his internal
position under the guidance of STAN.

self with the rising discomfort against
Stambuloff, the prince was able not
only to rid himself of the paramount
mower of his first prime minister but
also to secure the goodwill Of the
population by bringing about the res

grown to be considered as almost
tyrannical by Bulgarian public opin,
ion.
Thence followed what may be call

OUT UNDER THE STARS
After He Had Told Helen Whole
Truth.
BY s. {. KISER.

For three hours Helen Sibley had
been waiting at Northport Junction.
Luckily the evening was pleasant, so
that she was not compelled to sit IN
the stuffy, dingy little station. There
was Just one pretty thing about North
port junction, and that was Helen. III
the train for which she was waiting
ever came and ever departed again,
Northport Junction would resume Its
habit Of being about as unlovely q
spot as one might find within the tens
perate zone.
While Helen remained the place
would possess one attraction that
would have lent distinction to far
more important and far more splen,
did center of activity than the juno
ton was ever likely to become.
The operator in the bay window that
jutted out into the point Of land be-
tween the branching tracks evidently
had an eye for beauty as we'll as an
ear for Morse. AS Helen walked up
and down the platform he watched her
and became thoughtful. He wonder
ed why it was that nature bestowed
her gifts so lavishly upon some girls
and treated others SO shabbily. The
beauty that Helen possessed might
have made dozen plain girls fair II
1t had been distributed among them.
Such was tho operators reasoning.
The operator at Northport Junction
was philosopher.
But Helen was not thinking Of phil
osophy, and If she had noticed that the
operator was eagerly watching her the
fact neither added to her pleasure
nor caused her annoyance. For some
reason she was thinking of Tom Har-
low. Perhaps it was because OF the
loneliness of her surroundings. 1t
was nearly year since she had re-
fused to listen when Tom had said that
he could explain everything In good
time" and for months she had thought
that she was never going to have any
interest in him again.
Thinking of Tom naturally caused
her to think of Mrs. Danforth, the pref
ty, young grass-widow who had come
between them. There was something
mysterious about Mrs Danforth. Peo-

ing manhood and attaining the
title of Grown Prince he ceased
not to avail himself of every
opportunity for becoming familiar
with his country and people. He has
journeyed at various times to different
parts of the empire, and even to-
Korea, SO that there is not a corner
of his dominions that he has not seen
and explored. During his trips inland
he ever proved himself an excellent
pedestrian and mountain climber, oft
en- outspeeding his companions and
appearing unannounced among the
rustic villages The writer, who has
more than once had the honor of TAX
ing luncheon In the same room with
his majesty when he was crown
prince, noticed how genial he was in
manner and how modest in mien, fol-
lowing in these respects the example,
of his great father, whom he admired
even to reverence. 1t is said that
once, when the late emperor and
crown prince were In conversation,
the great emperor said to his son,

hopelessness and went outside again.

she was trying to count the appalling
number of minutes that she would

Too Much Enthusiasm for ldleness.

Long ago Robert Stevenson sug-
gested that lad who played truant
might be doing himself more good
than he who never missed lecture.
Now we hear a professor declaring
"We are prone to forget that the
twin gifts of youth are enthusiasm
and idleness." All our young people
are terrifcally in earnest about some
thing or other. But they have not
much chance of idleness. Even their
games are so organized that sport It,,
