GIVE SQUARE DEAL" ID THE TAX PAYERS
Commissioner A. A. Evans
 Makes Statement
SOME COMPROMISES
Judge Evans States That Commits sion Wishes to Hear Every Mans Complaint and Will Cor
 rect Their Errors

That only square deal" was the ambi-
 ton of the tax commission In handling
 the increases here, and that if that body
 erred he hoped it would be on the side of | the taxpayers. was the statement of Judge A. A. Evans of the state tax commission at the conclusion of that bodys work yes terday. During the session yesterday the | fact developed that the commission was
 compromising a considerable number of cases after consultation with affected
 owners.
 After the meeting Judge Evans said
 there had been no cases of very great im-
 portance handled nor had there been any corporation increases compromised. He said, however that several cases were adjudieated and that the chances were
 that others would go by in a like man ner. He said that some protests were made and some appeals indicated Judge Evans said in discussing the tax
 increases and the controversy between the local committee and Governor oNeal,
 that he had nothing to do with it nor
 was 1t a controversy with the state com mission
 We are here, said the commissioner, "to enact the laws requirements. In all the tax increases we have endeavored to place a fair valuation. We will con-
 tinue to do that. We have absolutely no controversy with any one or with any in-
 terest We have, as I have said. tried to reach a fair conclusion. If we have erred
 I hope it is and will be on the part of the taxpayers We will be here three
 weeks as we have a docket set for that
 length of time. As cases are called we
 will endeavor to show where we are right.
 and if we are wrong we are perfectly will ling to be corrected.
 In many cases we have conferred with the taxpayers to find that their increases have been too heavy and we have reduced them. That is the way we want to do. Every man Is entitled to a square deal, and will get 1t in every instance"
 Some Compromises The statements of Judge Evans about compromises was apparently confirmed yesterday when 1t is said several cases were materially reduced when the tax payers presented to the commission facts relating to the values. The work of the commission was confined to only a few cases, after which adjournment was taken until this morning It Is current ly believed that several other compro- mises will take place.
 An additional tax development will occur tomorrow when Captain Allen, back tax commissioner, will refer his 350O increases to the boar. of revenue. It was indicated yesterday by Job Go ing of the board of revenue that the cases would be taken up and gone over carefully. He would not say what dis position would be made of the request that the board refuse to docket the cases. MT. Going said he presumed the board would take up each raise and see what was to it. The s25 100000 in creases to be filed by Captain Allen rest entirely with the board of reve- nue.

PRESS COMMENTS
ON SCOUT RESCUE


! Had the Boy scouts Of Hood River
not been given the military training
against which the Socialists and /. W.
w. declsim, they could not have saved
I their comrades from drowning. That
training prompted Simpson to call on
| his companions 10 form a living chain
when he found himself alone unable to
rescue Buell. and il prompted them to
respond promptly. 1t had taught them
exactly what to do when called upon
/ for help and had taught them to do it
quickly and efficiently without the loss
Of one precious second. Boy Scout
/ training had instructed the boys what
to do in order to expel the water from
the drowning boys lungs and to re-
yive them after dragging them to-
shore.
This incident is a practical demon
stration that the Boy Scouts are not a
military, but a peaceful organization.
They apply what is useful in military
training TO the preservation instead of
the destruction Of life. They turn mill
tary training to peaceful, humane
uses.
This is not to say that, if the country
called upon its citzens.to fight in its
defense, the Boy Scouts would not re-
spond They are taught not only to
become useful, humane citizens in time
Of peace, but patriotism also. This
teaching is what inspires the hatred of
Socialists and Industrial workers. Not
that these organizations love peace
they stir up a world wide war of class
against class, so bitter and so ALIEN
bracing that it ignores all national
boundaries. The yotaries of the red |
flag hate the stars and stripes because |
the national flag sets loyalty to country |
above strife between classes and claims |
the loyalty alike of rich and poor, of |
capitalist and workman. If the nation |
called on its citizens to fight, the Boy |
Scouts would respond-as Individuals,
not as an organizstion-an and would be
the better soldiers for that military |
training which was given them solely
for use in the arts of peace.
But the Boy Scouts are not patriots
of the Hobson type, who seek every
pretext tor war. By correspondence
and visits between Scouts of different
nations they aid IN removing misunder-
standings and promoting good under
standing between nations. They thus
aid In removing the first beginnings of
the causes of war and are a powerful
influence for peace,

From Portland Journan

When a number of boys are in swim
ming and one is taken with cramp
and is in danger Of drowning twenty
feet from shallow water. what is apt
to be the scene? A sudden shifting
takes place, and one, far braver than
the rest risks his life to save his COM
rade. The rest form an excited group.
Suppose then that the rescuer is
gripped by the drowning one and he is
himself in desperate danger. What
then? The scare is 'apt to spread
among the others, and both drown. So
far it is an old story.
But if, following the previous teach
ing, there is no scare, but living
chain of boys is Immediately formed,
the head of which, pushed forward,
reaches the drowning boys and all are
dragged to land and safety, is that
training worth nothing?
Again, if both the drowning boys
are in bad plight when brought to
land, but their comrades at once'follow
the first aid to the drowning" drec
tions, without waiting for doctors or
even for adult assistance, is that also
a justification of the training all these
boys had?
But this was Boy Scout work at
Hood River and no goody goody tale.

Rat Killing in Mobile

The appearance of bubonic plague
in both Porto Rico and Cuba almost
simultaneously is evidence that the
entire West Indies will become scenes
of the disease. Sanitation is almost
unknown in any part of the wide
sweep of islands. Vessels are arriving
daily at our own gulf ports from those
islands, and we are glad to see that
rat killing on arriving ships has been
begun at Mobile.
No means for the spreading of bu-
bonic plague is equal to that afforded
by infected rats. This has long been
ascertained and determined, and the
action by health officials at Mobile is
work directed in the channel that will
be effective. If all vessels from the
West Indies could be kept from dock
ing the remedy would be better still.
AT Mobile all such vessels must re-
main in midstream until all rats in
them are destroyed, but the ascertain
ment of that fact will be found to be
very difficult. Bubonic plague can be
kept away from the mainland by re-
fusing to allow any ship from the
West Indies to dock in a gulf port.
There is no safety short of that.
The rats contract the disease
through the bites of fleas which Mad
been on human victims of it. The
fleas cannot be caught and killed but
the rats and cats and dogs can be. In
Mobile all rats on the water front are
to be killed, and both arsenical pois-
oning and traps will be employed.
