TAXATION AND EXPENDITURES.

Wall Street Journal: People who
complain about their taxes might find
useful hint in the report recently
filed by the New Jersey board of
equalization. The average tax rate
had jumped from $1.97 of last year
to $2.24 for the present year, an in
crease of 1873 per cent. The board
said:
"The increase is due to the fact
that local expenditures have in
creased in greater ratio than the
sources of local revenue"
The appalling fact can be applied
to all the states. The census returns
go back to 1860. They show the
average per capita levy to be more
than three and one-half times what
1t was at the earlier date. OF course,
the tax rate per 500 also increases.
Yet, notwithstanding the enormous
increase in amount of the tax levies
and the increase in popolation and
wealth, the average per capita in
debtedness of the states, counties and
minor civil divisions has steadily in
creased.
What do the people get in return
for this increased taxation? When
a mans business expenses increase
faster than the returns, the bank
ruptcy court awaits him. But in the
public business there is no thought
of cutting expenses according to
means. The tax rate is to be adjust
ed to fit the expenses. This is good
business to the politician, but to the
people who pay the bill the effect is,
as Shylock said, "Yeu take my life
when you do take the means whereby
l live"
Kings should sheer their sheep, not
skin them. But so long as the people
permit their affairs to be conducted
without any idea of economy or any
thing approaching budget system
they are sure to be skinned. Isn't IL
time to demand a-real reform?

FIELD TRIP THROUGH
THE OREGON WOODS

A field trip through the Siuslaw
Valley, the Coos Bay country, and
the Crater Lake district is to be TAX
en- this summer for botany, geology
and general nature study by party
under the auspices of the University
of Oregon summer school. The itin-
erary will provide range from sea
level to 5000 feet above sea level,
with corresponding diversity in fauna
and flora and geological formations.
Instructors from the regular fac
ulty of the university will be in
charge of the scientific work. Visit
ing tourists of scientific turn are in
vited to join the class, the number
of which will have to be limited, how
ever. The trip is in no sense to be
junket.
The field trip is recommended es-
pecially to teachers. The equipment
should consist of strong and sensible
clothing, including khaki trousers or
skirts; OF heavy shoes or boots with
hob nails, sleeping bag or equiva-
lent in coarse field blankets, canteen.
geological hammer, knapsack, small
hand lens, and, IL desired, barome-
ter and field glass.

Instinct.

The faith of immortality depends
on sense of it begotten, not on an
argument of it concluded.-Bushnell.
Our hopes are Gods written guar
antees of Immortality
There is, I know not how, in the
minds of men a certain presage, as it
were, of future existence, and this
takes the deepest root and is most
discoverable in the greatest geniuses
and most exalted souls.-Cicero.
never spake with God, nor visited
in Heaven; yet certain am of the
spot as if the chart were given
Emily Dickinson.
1t cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is a bubble cast up by the
ocean of eternity, to float another
moment upon it's surface, and then
sink into nothingness and darkness
forever. Else why is it that the high
and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temples of our
hearts are forever wandering abroad,
satisfied?-George D. Prentiss.

GIVE 1T A REST.

Oregon needs rest. If the legis-
lature would repeal about half of the
present laws and not convene again
for five or ten years Oregon would
get to the front. The legislature
lacks stability. Every session it
seems to be necessary for almost
every business and pleasure interest
of the state to work for the whole
session trying to keep the legislature
from passing some ridiculous meas
ure that spells ruin, or repeating
some measure to which the interest
has reasonably adjusted itself.
At this session it is proposed to
upturn laws that have been enacted
by effort of the sportsmen of the
state in such manner as will destroy
the sporting attractions of this sec
ton. The legislature, backed, NO
doubt, by insistent private fishing in
dustries that amount to little to the
state, persist in tinkering with fish
and game laws.
At the same time the mining inter-
ests are overtoppled by proposals to
repeal laws that have been in sue
cessful operation long enough for the
interests to adjust to them.
In Oregon no business activity
knows today what restrictions will
be placed upon it, or what radical
and vital legislative changes it will
be subjected to tomorrow.
During this session the sportsmen
and those interested in mining have
spent most of their time in remon-
STRANGE meetings in an attempt to
head off proposed enactments that
will entirely unsettle present condi-
tions and spell ruin to them if en-.
acted.
Let Oregon have a rest. Her nat.
ural resources will justify immediate
and continued prosperity If let alone

THE OREGON HOG BUSINESS IN
PERIL.

From figures recently compiled at
the Portland Union Stockyards it
would appear that unless there is a
radical change on the part of the
farmers in the handling of the hog
business, in short time Oregon will
be right back In the position occu-
pied few years ago-almost no
breeding stock on hand, record-break-
ing prices in the local market on ac-
count of the inevitable shortage Of
supply, and another hurry call on the
middle west for brood sows to re-
stock the empty pens. And this de-
plorable condition is being brought
about by the present abnormally high
price of wheat, and also to the fact
that large number of hog raiserk
throughout the state neglect to grow
the necessary feed ON which to finish
their crop of pork and on which the
surplus stock can be economically
carried through the winter.
During period Of seven consecu-
tive days, ending the past week,
10000 hogs were received at the
Portland yards, only small percent
age Of which were really fit for kill
ing, the balance apparently having
been shipped to avoid the expense of
carrying them until spring. The cer-
tain result of these excessive ship
ments will be ruinous falling off in
values, a wiping out of the hog sur.
plus Of last fall. Oregon soil and
climate are suited to the production
OF corn, field peas and alfalfa, all o.
which are splendid hog feed, and un
til the farmer plants more extensive
ly OF these crops and thus makes him
self independent of outside assist
ance, the hog industry will be at the
mercy of any influence which may
affect the prices of wheat and Other
grains in the northwest.

Science,

The denials of immortality lose
their force under scientific objection.
The sciences clear the ground of OBJ
jections and open the way for the
fearless affirmation of mans immor-
tality.-David Gregg.
Immortality is what philosophers
call an ontological fact; 1t belongs es-
sentially to the being of man.. To
my mind this is the great proof of
immortality. The fact that 1t is writ
ten in human nature, written there
so plain that the rudest nations have
not failed to find it, to know it.
What is thus in man is writ there of
God, who writes no lies.-Theodore
Parker.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Home Circle.


We have several good objects in
view and many good reasons for the
weekly appearance of the Home Cir
Gle Department in the columns of the
Tidings. We believe it carries sun
shine and good cheer into all the
homes 1t enters. In it are found en-
couraging words for every good act
and discouraging words for all that
is evil. During the year we have
justsentered we hope to make this de-
partment of unusual interest to every
member of the Home Circle. AS
Mrs. Hemans has said, There's beau
ty all around our paths, if but our
watchful eyes can trace it midst ia
miliar things, and through their low
ly guise." In this department this
week we give our readers helpful ana
encouraging words from our greatest
and best men and women. Read
them carefully, storing them in men,

Do women wear slit skirts, low-cut
waists and transparent dresses to ac-
complish the seduction of men? Must
they be securely wrapped in solid
cloth from neck to toe that frail mas
culine virtue may be properly pro-
tected? These questions Miriam
Nicholson, the author of "In the
Bishops Carriage" discusses in a
clever, fearless, outspoken article in
the February issue of Sunset, The
Pacific Monthly. The article is illus
trated in two colors by Louis Rogers.
Former Naval Constructor Holden A.
Evans contributes timely article on
the subject of the Pacific Coasts de-
fenses. In the Pulse of the Pacific
the agitation for the dispatch of Jap
anese troops to Europe, : western
opinion concerning British interfer-
ence, the principal work of all west
ern legislatures and a dozen other
subjects of vital interest to the west
are presented in vigorous style.
The opening of the San Diego ex-
position is described in text and pic
lures; the impending opening of San
Francisco's great show is depleted in
magnificent color reproductions and
a series of striking photographs.
Walter V. Woehlke describes the
Great Valley of California, its prob
lens and possibilities. Rufus Steele
in fascinating article draws vivid
picture of Charles Kellogg, the bird
man who caused streams of water to
flow out of dry hillside. Motorists
will find food fol, thought and much
encouragement in an article by j.
Constantine Hillman in which the
author describes two months tour
through deserts and mountains with

A campaign has been started at AL
bany to sell $4,000 worth of can
merry stock, work on the construction
of a cooperative cannery to COM
mence as soon as the stock sales
amount to $4,000. The preliminary
meeting was attended by more than
100 farmers and fruit growers of
Linn and Benton counties. A limit
of $50 worth of stock to each sub
scriber has been set, and 1t will there
fore be necessary to interest 500
growers in order to raise the $25 900.

In schemes to put the community
forward every citizen should be will
ing to carry his just share OF the
financial and time burden. Usually
there are few willing men, but they
should not be allowed to bear 1t all.
II they are, they soon tire and quit.
A community can only fairly prosper
II every one does his share for the
common good. 1t is manifestly un-
fair to allow one citizen to spend his
time and money in public service,
even though he is willing. without
substantial material support.

for the principal reason that they either
don't think It serious enough to 20 TO a

result that the cough or cold becomes

Let us learn to be content with
what we. have. Let us get rid of our
false estimates, set up all the highest
ideals-a quiet home; vines of our
own planting; a few books full of
the inspirations of genius; few
friends worthy Of being loved and
able to love us in return; hundred
innocent pleasures that bring no pain
or remorse; a devotion to the right
that will never swerve; simple re-
ligion empty of all bigotry, full of
trust, hope and love-and to such
a philosophy this world will give us
all the empty joy 1t has.-David

For several weeks past the man
agement OF the Portland Rose Festi-
val. to be held June 8, 10 and II, has
been carrying on slogan campaign,
offering $25 for the phrase, not ex-
ceeding eight words, which should
best represent the spirit of the season
and of the festival. More than 5000
slogans were submitted in this con-
test and the Judging committee, COM
posed of large number of repre-
sentative business men, finally
awarded the prize to j. C. Cooper,

HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY


In an editorial appearing in the
Boise Statesman a few days ago, fault
is found with the state because lots
around Payette Lake have not been
sold and the proceeds used to improve
roads in that district. The state
ment is made that the building of
roads in this region would be without
commercial value but that they would
aid in making the Payette Lakes one
of the notable resorts in the state.
The money, it is argued should be
spent on that basis.
AS Payette Lakes is largely re-
garded by the residents of Boise as
an adjunct of the capital city and al
most entirely frequented by them, it
might seem more reasonable to rec
ommend that Boise motorists contrib
uae the funds to build a road whose
chief function would be to contribute
to their holiday pleasures. Certain
ly, very small proportion of citizens
from other regions would derive ben
eft from funds so expended
The subject brings up the whole
matter of road building in Idaho, now
grown to be a grave problem. Up to
this time very little work has been
done by the state in the northern
counties, even in the regions that are
highly productive and thickly populat-
ed. On the other hand considerable
highway work has been carried on in
the south and southeastern sections
under the direction of the state. How
this discrimination comes about few
seem to know.
What the state highway commission
needs to do is to exercise better
Judgment in the future and make the
distribution of the state funds more
equitable
Take for example the proposed |
interchangeable highwaXji To be
sure, the legislature declined to pro-
vide for the desired hundred thousand |
dollar bond issue, but the commission,
if it knows of some scheme for rails
ing funds, such as the selling off of |
lots at a summsr resort, might |
manage to raise a fund to carry on
work undeniably more pressing than
the building of roads for a few hand
fuls of Boise motorists.
There seems to be no objection to
selling off lots at Payette Lakes, but
the money realized should not be set
apart for. a special and local purpose.
1t should be thrown into the general
fund and do it's share toward road
building all over the state. 1t is
again a case of the greatest good to
the greatest numer.
