PEACE RESOLUTIONS.

The fundamental gospel of Odd Eel
lowship is universal brotherhood,
friendship, love, truth and peace on
earth among all men. Holding these
sentiments it is but natural that Odd
Fellows should look upon the present
European war with adherence, and
desire the restoration of peace at as
early a moment as possible. With the
aim in view of aiding any movement
having for its object the restoration
of peace the local Odd Fellow lodge
in conjunction with lodges throughout
the state, have passed the following
resolutions:
Whereas, large part of the civillz-
ed world is now engaged in a gigantic
struggle for supremacy on land and
sea- in which lands have been devas-
tated, cities burned and destroyed,
women and children left homeless and
starving, millions of men killed and
wounded, and yet the terrible agencies

work of ruin and death, and
Whereas, Odd Fellowship is founded
upon the great cardinal principles of
Friendship, Love and Truth" and
teaches that man should love his
neighbor as himself and live in peace
with all men, and that he should alb

Whereas, we believe that united
effort of our great order would have a
far reaching influence in promoting
the sentiment of peace throughout our
land and the ultimate establishment of

TAX SKETCHES.
Continued
By the County Assessor.
Chapter TV-YaluatiOns and County
Ratio.
TAX SKETCHES.

AS has been previously outlined in
these sketches, all taxable property is
subject to a tax valuation not in excess
of 30 per cent of its true, or real value
| in cash. Every two years representa-
| tives from the state tax commission
visit the various counties for the pur
| pose of securing sworn testimony of
| land values as shown by the most re-
cent property transfers; and this data
| coupled with a comparative average
of all property in all the counties of
the state, a ration is determined for
| each county; that is, the ration of the
Expenses. in other words, Okanogan
county's ratio for 1915 is 1866 per cent
which falls short 10.4 per cent of the
30 per cent limit; or showing that in
| OkanOgan county all classes of prop
erty are being assessed on an average
basis of 1916 per cent of the true value
instead of 30 per cent. This means that
railroad property is assessed by the
J state tax commission on the 1916 per
cent basis of its true valuation; also
that Okanogan county must pay into
| the state treasury about $4,000, more
than would be necessary if the ration
were 80 per cent. Hence, it is distinctly
to the advantage and best interests of
the county if all property were assess
ed by the county assessor fully up to
the 30 per cent limit. On case of orch
ard lands, or patented mines, certain
conditions enter into actual assessed
lvaluation.) A gain would thus be had
from railroad property and saving
of the difference between the ratio and
the standard basis. This point is not
| generally understood by the tax pay
ers and certainly not appreciated when
| the assessor endeavors to do his duty
| tax payer is anxious to keep his taxes
down as much as possible, because
taxes are high and hard to pay. Rarely
are taxes paid with satisfied feeling
that full value has been received. How
ever let it be understood that if all
taxable property was faithfully listed
on the so per cent basis, everybody's
taxes would be correspondingly
lighter. Right here it would be well
to add that higher valuations means
lower levies, and tax levies are always
inquired into by the new conner or
prospective investor To be sure, strict
| watch should be kept over the eXpendi-
lures of public funds; strict economy
| must be exercised in all the depart
| ments of county, government. But even
| nder these regulations our present
system of government is not the sort
| that the business man would employ
| for the conduct of his business Posi-
| bly, revision of the constitution; an
amendment to our present revenue and
taxation laws; or entirely new laws;
commission form of government man
agerial form of government; bond
ISSUE etc. etc, would bring about the
desired ends. This question can and
must be settled by the people them

w. B. McChesney of the Ivanhoe
mine, Sundayed in Oroville, coming
over to meet and hold consultation
with Geo. Nixon of Spokane. While in
no position to enter into the partic-
ulars of an impending deal by which
Mr.. McChesney and associates expect
to take over an important property in
this immediate vicinity, and in which
the people of Oroville are very much
interested, we feel that we are abusing
no confidence in saying that negotia-
tons are in progress that may at any
time eliminate in the transfer of a
very important property. Mr.. Nixon is
an expert electrical engineer and auth
ority on water powers, and he was
sent for by Mr.. McChesney for the pur-
pose of securing expert information.
There is one thing certain the public
can rest assured that anything Mr.. Nc
Chesney takes hold of will be legiti-
mate business venture, and it will be
carried as far toward success as
money and brains can accomplish sue
cess in any undertaking.

There are some very important
considerations i'm feeding swine which
should not be lost sight of. The hog
by nature is 'an-0mnivorous animal
and readily eats great variety Of
food. Though domesticated for many
years. he has not lost his natural In
stincts and loves to roam the fields
and woods in search of various roots
and plants. and is not averse to eat
ing meat of various kinds whenever
opportunity affords This love of a
great variety Of food Is so deeply
rooted in .the hog as. 10 have made a
permanent impression upon the char
acter Of his teeth which are adapted
not only to the grinding of grain, but
also to the tearing asunder Of flesh.
This Of itself should be sufficient to
convince the feeder of the advisability
OF variety. in the ration of the hog.
but the general cultivation of corn, as
already preferred to. and its cheap
ness in years gone by have led many
farmers to lose sight Of this essential
matter. Moreover. variety of food,
while essential to the satisfaction OF
the animal consuming IL, stimulates
the digestive organs to greater activity
which is a most desirable end TO at
tain and this OF itself would amply
reward the feeder for taking greater
pains and effort to provide the hog
with a greater variety of food suited
to its nutrition.
