FOR RELIEF OF TAX PAYERS

As an indication that business and
industry is stagnant throughout the
state relief measure was taken up
and passed unanimously in both houses
of the Legislature ard signed by Cover
nor Phillip, extending the period of
tax paying, without added penalty,
from February first to March first.
This is effective only where city and
village councils and town boards take
action and apply the provisions of the
new law.
The measure originated with men,
Der from Superior, urged because of
hard times in the cities. Just now it
is very excellent thing for Vernon
county because of dullness in tobacco
market. Viroqua city council met in
special session on Saturday evening
and adopted the new statute.

Exemption of personal property from
taxation was recommended by the state
tax commission in its biennial report
TO the governor. The plan as outlined
provides for the taxation of real es-
tate; the taxation of public utilities as
at present and the taxation of bank
stock as now. and larger license fee
from automobiles. The report says
the auto is subject to rapid deprecia-
tion and therefore difficult to value. A
license fee based upon horsepower or
weight is recommended. 1t also re-
commends the assessment of real es-
tate once in four years.

OREGON STATE LEGISLATURE
MAKES GOOD PROGRESS

Salem.--Although three weeks OF
the 2sth legislative session have slip
ped by with all the bis measures still
to be passed upon by both houses, yet
really more progress has been made
during the first half of the present
session than during the same period
in many previous sessions. Practical
ly all the important bills have been
introduced and many of them have
received attention from the various
committees aud are In shape to be
passed upon. The beginning OF the
fourth week of the session found both
houses in shape to get down to busi.
ness, and unless there Is an unusual
flow of oratory much serious work
will be accomplished.
The bill to do away with the petit
tion.peddling that created such stir
in the house last week will be back
from the revision of laws committee
this week. Il was recommitted with
instruction to amend so that candi.
dates may have the option OF filing
for office either by the petition route
or by paying cash fee to the county
or state authorities.
The section requiring a candidate to
support his or her successful oppo'
nent in case of defeat also will be
stricken out or modified In that
shape the bill may get through the
house.
The prohibition bill was reported
back 20 the house In the form OF a sub
stitute for the original measure with
the favorable recommendation OF the
committee on alcoholic traffic.
The bill remains In substantially the
same form as when originally drawn
by the Committee OF one Hundred and
introduced by DR.. Anderson. II has
been amended. however, but has more
teeth In nearly every section.
Probably the most pronounced
change Is In the limit set on the
amount OF liquor that can be shipped
IN for home consumption. The bill
now fixes this quantity at either two
quarts OF whisky or 10 quarts OF beer
In u month The original bill specl'
fled no limit,

appropriation, therefore, shows an ap.

The grandstand was we'll filled at

afternoon the box holders evidently
continued to diStruSt friend Jupiter
Pluvius, and considered his promise
to absent himself rather unreliable
The company was somewhat larger
in the evening.
The men in charge of the horse
show arrangements did all that could
be done to make the place comfort
able and attractive. Mr.. Charles
Mitchell and Mr.. Albert Patten, and
others were out in the paddock all
afternoon working like harvest hands
to keep the track in good condition
The walk across the track to the boxes
was covered with straw as a protec-
ton against the mud, and in the eve
ming the swarms of little green bugs
were baffled by the simple expedient
of turning out the lights in the boxes.
And while the horse show was not so
gay as to suggest that it was a case
of hanging the night with scarlet
embroideries" it had many points of
interest, even to the unfearned in
horse lore, and it was an occasion for
the foregathering of a fair represen-
tative of the local society set.

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat


Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More.
I'D certainly give most anything to be
able to fat up a few pounds and stay that
way declares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such result is not i'm
possible despite past failures. Most thin
people are victims of mal-nutrition, con-
dition which prevents the fatty elements
of food from being taken up by the blood
triton are normal. Instead of getting
into the blood. much of the fat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intestlnes
until they pass from the body as waste
To correct this condition and to pro
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat, the
nutritive processes must be artiftcally sup
piled with the power which nature has
denied them. This can probably best be
accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol is careful com
bination of six splendid assimiliative
agents. Taken with meals they mix with
the food to turn the sugars and starches
of what you have eaten into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood and
it's rapid effect has been in many. cases
reported remarkable. Reported gains of
month are by no means infreQuent. Yet
it's action is perfectly natural and abso-
Iutely harmless. Sargol is sold by Arnold
Drug Co. and other druggists everywhere
and every package contains guarantee
of weight increase or money back.
NOTES :=Sargol is recommended only
a flesh builder and while excellent
suits in of nervous indigestion, etc,
have been reported. care should be taken
about using it unless a gain of weight is
desired.-Adv.
