MIR wlsIERs TRIBUTE no
HIS FRIEND, JOE MOSS

!
Editor Courier; | have been much
pleased with the "nice things" that
have been said for my pioneer friend
and brother. Joseph Moss, whose sud
den death has so thoroughly stirred
his friends TO q realization OF tho fact
that IN life's rush we do not sufii-
ciently appreciate the value among
us OF such good men "a he was.
The biographical sketches that have
been written about Joe" have stated
that he left the employ Of tho Sugar
Pine Door and Lumber company and
his friend. II. b. Miller. and engaged
In real estate" without giving tho
reason for the change,
On December s, 1886. was the
publisher OF the Rogue River
Courier. As we were about to go to
press word came 10 me that Mr., Moss
had been injured In the machinery
OF the Sugar Pine Door and Lumber
company, probably fatally. The
Courier OF that issue contained my
write-up OF the sad affair and which
eventually made II necessary Tor Mr.
Moss to enter lighter employment.
The article follows:
Early last Friday morning our
little city was shocked by report
that Joseph Moss was fcarfully and
probably fatally mangled by having
been caught In the machinery ut the
mills OF the s, P. d. 4 L. Co,

Mr., Moss tried to throw the belt on

the immediate cause which led to the

FOR STATEWIDE TAX LIMITA-
TION.
An initiative petition Ia being cir
culated throughout the state for the
purpose OF putting up to the people
at the fall election q proposed amend
ment to the state constitution for the
limiting Of the levying Of taxes by
the various bodies ond boards that
have the power. The amendment
vas provided by the state taxpayers
league. and has been endorsed by
the local league. lis purpose Is to
prohibit the levying Of a tax that Is
more than six per cent larger than
the tax Of Q previous year. unless
such increase shall have been au-
thorixed by the voters voting upon
the question. The proposed amend
ment reads that:
"Unless specifically authorized by
q majority of the legal voters voting
upon the question neither the state
nor any county. municipality, district
or body to which the power to levy
= tax shall have been delegated shall
IN any year 90 exercise that power
as to raise greater amount Of rev.
enue for purposes other than the
payment Of bonded Indebtedness. or
interest thereon, than the total
amount levied by it in the year i'm
mediately preceding for purposes
other than the payment Of bonded
Indebtedness or interest thereon plus
six per centum thereof; provided,
whenever any new county. munici-
pality or other taxing district shall
be created and shall include In whole
or in part property heretofore in
cluded in another county. like muni-
cipality or other taxing district, no
greater amount of taxes shall be
levied in the first year by either the
old or the new county. municipality
or other taxing district upon any
property included therein than the
amount levied thereon in the pre-
ceding year by the county, muni-
capality or district in which 1t was
then included plus six per centum
thereof; provided. further, that the
amount OF any increase in levy spe-
cifically authorized by the legal
voters Of the state, or OF county,
municipality, or other district. shall
be excluded in determining the
amount Of taxes which may be levied
in any subsequent year"
Copies OF the petition are to be

4 TEN THOUSAND MILE HIGH
WAY.

Representatives VIM. ID. Stephens
of California has introduced bill in
congress authorizing the acquiring,
constructing and maintaining ma
tional defense highway ten thousand
miles long and circling the United
States. The construction and main
tenance is to commence and continue
under the supreme authority of the
President by United States Army en-
gineer officers. This national high
way, in time of peace, is to be used
by the public for commercial and
healthful purposes. In time of war,
or threatened war, the highway is to
be used for the rapid movement of
troops. The bill contemplates giving
work to hundred thousand men for
a number of years and in that way
solves the problem of the ''unem-
ployed," These workmen are to be
Grained in the rudiments of SOL
dier's life while employed in this con-
struction and maintenance work, thus
providing a vast number of partially
trained soldiers in case of war.
We publish the bill as introduced
by Congressman Stephens in this issue
of The Times. 1t is a big undertake
ing, and we do not know the difficult
ties involved, but it is worthy Of seri-
Gus consideration on the part of con-
gress. Germany has three railways
betting her territory, each one. if we
are correctly Informed, safe fifty
miles apart. There is no doubt of the
practicability of such an enterprise
as that advocated by Congressman
Stephens, and if we mistake not the
results would prove more than bene-
fetal, they would be very great.

BUFFALO

Buffalo, Feb. 15.-Our town vas
grieved and made sad last Wednesday
morning on hearing of the death Of
Samuel Stoudenmire, eldest son Of
Rev. and Mrs. A. T. Stoudenmire, af-
ter three weeks of extreme suffering
he yielded to that dreadful disease,
pneumonia, and in the embrace of
white winged angels left friends and
loved ones in sorrow and grief, while
he. in that spirit land will be their
ministering spirit, ever beckoning
them come. Sam was ~ years of age,
was unusually bright and by his sweet
disposition and gentle manner drew
all to him in loving affection. He made
friends and sunshine everywhere. He
will be missed in the Sunday school,
in the graded school, on the streets
and more especially in the home, for
truly he was the light and joy of the
household. The funeral was beautit-
fully and very touchingly conducted
| by Rev. Mr.. Garvin, of Union. at II
o'clock on Thursday at the Baptist
church in the presence of large con-
course of friends. Prof. +. f. Shuford
delivered a short eulogy on his beau
tiful young life. The interment was
at Rosemont cemetery. The school
where he was so popular and gen
eral favorite closed and attended the
exercises. The sympathy of the town
and surrounding community go out to
the grief parents in their sad
bereavement.

GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE.

Senator Hughes has introduced a
good roads bond bill, calling for a
vote on the question of whether Union
county will issue S25O,OOO worth of
bonds for the building and maintain
ing of permanent highways through
out Union county. We have published
this bill as introduced by Senator
Hughes. The only adverse criticism
we have heard of the bill is that the
commission that will have charge of
this work and the expending of this
large sum of money has not been
named. We feel sure that to name
the commission will popularize the
movement. The people of Union
county last year voted down the bond
issue; many have, since that time,
changed their minds, as is the right
of every man. Personally, we will
be very glad to have this bond issue
go through. For that reason, we hope
Senator Hughes may see his way
clear to amend the bill to the extent
of naming the commission. 1t will be
killed if this is not done, we very
much fear. Men from various sections
of the county and here in Union have
expressed the hope that the commits
sion be named in the bill. This seems
to be the only adverse criticism of the
bill. The desire to have permanent
good roads is much stronger now than
it was a year ago.

REFORMERs GONE TO SEED.

/ am rapidly losing patience with
the breed of reformers now much in
evidence throughout the nation. Their
name is Legion, their aim is one-to
gather to themselves notoriety. 1t
gives one the headache TO near the
loud noise, the wordy theories and the
fearful and fearsome predictions of
their unbalanced minds. Nothing is
right, nothing is safe, the future is
without hope-to hear these wise ones
tell it. Theories worked out in some
inventive brain, theories that never
will nor can be put into practice, fol-
low one upon the other. A half baked
idea is dished out with solemnity
that makes one tremble. Some men
or women with more money than
brains sheltered from the real bat
ties of life, find them ashamed of
life of idleness, and straightway break
into the ranks of the reformers. 1t
is a wide field. There is room for all,
for the world is big place, and the
reformer fails not to view the situa-
tion from the standpoint Of world
conquest. The great trouble with
these people is not that they are in
sincere, for no one can question their
sincerity; the trouble with them is
that they are people of one idea. They
pose as broadminded, but in reality
they are narrowminded to degree.

So soon as the sensation seizes the

goes forth to battle, joins the mighty
army of reformers. The fool killer
made mistake when he passed them
over. But that does not help. They
march forth from victory unto victory,
cheering each other, advising one with
another.
The latest field, very fruitful field
for the operation of the faddist is in
the Kingdom of the Child. A great
field that! 1t has such possibilities |!
1t is an unexplored world, full of in
terrogation points. The State is neg
lecting its children, the future men
and women are hopelessly doomed; !;
the citizen of the future is sure to be
failure unless something radical be
not done and done quickly, if one is
to believe these alarmists. Now, l do
not pretend to any great degree of
knowledge. But when I hear the
shrieking, wailing, railing and mouth
ings of certain alarmists upon the
question of child labor, it makes me
sick. One would think that it was
nothing less than murder for child
to work in mill, store, shop, on the
farm or anywhere else; sort of dis
grace to work. Instead OF seeking to
improve the environment of child la
bor, and for that matter, adult labor,
the glorious reformers tell us that the
question can be settled in a iiffy-
just cut the evil things head off; stop
children from working. So far, so
good, but what are you going to do
with them when you turn them out
of the mills, shops and from the
farms? If the matter ends there l
venture the prophecy that in twenty
wears you will have bigger problem
in The Idle Child than you ever had
in Child Labor. How does it hurt a
child to work, if it be reasonable task
and under reasonably good condi-
tions? Idleness, not labor, is the
danger to the human race. The child
that grows up in idleness will fur
nish a recruit for your chaingangs and
prisons. But, say the reformers, put
the children in school, educate them,
send them to college. This is good,
very good, as far as it goes. But it is
easier said than done. The child must
be fed, clothed and the education must
be paid for. Who will do the pay
ing? How? Why? Where is the
stopping place? And where does the
parent come in? In begetting child
has the father discharged his duty to
his offspring? Is the State to be
father, mother, grandpa and grandma
to the child? There are many oues-
tions that we would like to hear dis
cussed before we go any further in
the reformers' paths. Anyway, real
reformation, or perhaps I should say
regeneration, comes from within
Most of this reformation business
comes from without-from afar; too
far to suit me. Real development is
a growth, not set of rules and regu-
lations. Real growth will produce men
and women.
