BORAH ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS

''The mere reading of the constitution of the
League will convince any reasonable mind, any un-
prejudiced mind, that if put into effect the policy Of
Washington and the policy of Monroe must depart.
The propositions are irreconcilable and can not eX-
list together. In the first place the League provides
for an organization composed principally of five
great nations, three of them European, one Asiatlc,
and one American. Every policy determined upon
by the League and every move made by it could be
and might be, controlled solely by European powers,
whether the matter dealt with had reference to Am
erica or Europe. The League nowhere distinguishes
or discriminates between European and American
affairs. 1t functions in one continent the same as
another. It compounds all three continents into a
single unit, so far as the operations of the League
are concerned. The League i%nterferes in European
affairs and in American affairs upon the same
grounds and for the same reasons. If the territorial
integrity of any member of the League is threatened
or involved, whether that territory be in America or
Europe, the League deals with the subject. If it be-
comes necessary for the League to act through eco
nomic pressure, or finally through military power,
although the procedure may be voted by European
powers alone, it may exert that pressure the same In
America as in Europe. The very object and purpose
of the League is to eliminate all differences between
Europe and America and place all in a common liza
bility to be governed and controlled. by a common au-
thority. If the United States, for instance, should
disregard it's covenants, as provided in the League,
it would be deemed to have committed an act of war
against all other members of the League; and under
our solemn obligation and agreement we would have
authorized the European powers to wage war against
us and upon the American continent. And yet men
deliberately and blandly state to the American peo-
pie that this League constitution preserves the Mon
roe doctrine and the doctrine given us. by Washing

REGARDING TAXES

On interviewing the County Court
In regard to taxes for the coming year,
we learned some things that might be
OF interest to our readers.
In reply to our inquiry il we might
expect lower taxes, we received an
emphatic mo-" for the following
reasons:
The State tax is higher than ever
before, $7,4OO, more than estimated in
the Budget
To meet recent Legislative require
ments the school fund was raised
$4,000, with a prospect of having to
go stronger before the year is ou.
The combined ports of Toledo and
Newport required a raise of $1,000,
over last year.
The Special School taxas are gem
orally higher, in some cases very much
SO.
The cities are practically the same
as last year with slight raises.
Then comes the one mill market
road tax of $4,000, and interest on
the county Bonds Of $4,000, both in
addition to last years taxes.
Lincoln County is unfortunate that
none Of the improvements made by the
Spruce Division are taxable, but rather
all property purchased by them Is
made non-taxable, resulting in lower
ing the assessed valuation
The Indian lands to be patented soon
are not yet available for taxation pur.
poses.
What effect will this have on the
road fund?
The road fund is the only fund the
County Court can exercise any option
on. All other funds are levied by
special tax levying bodies, or fixed
by statute. The entire levy being
limited by the per cent limitation
results in a cut or reduction in the
road fund for every increase in other
departments under the Courts juris-
duction. By levying the limit gives
$4,000, In the read fund OF this,
$4,000 is pledged for the Alsea road.
There are also IL or IA good sized
bridges that must be rebuilt in the
spring which leaves a very small
amount for general road maintenance.
Wages and materials are much higher,
which operates as a reduction of the
road fund.
But on the other hand we have the
market road fund of $4,000, to be
matched with $4,000 from the State,
making $4,000. Also the main high
way being taken care of by the Bond
fund will leave the general fund to be
used in other parts of the county.
We have over 200 miles of road to
be maintained aside from the two main
highways, but with the improved road
building machinery we have the Court
expects with the small fund at their
disposal to be able to hold their own
and do considerable new work, be-

CHRIST WElDMAR
DIES OF EXPOSURE

The remains of Christ Weidmar,
who was believed to have become lost
while out looking for his goats, were
found by shearching party last Sun
day, and 1t Is now certain that he was
not lost, but had evidently worked so
hard trampirg trail thru the deep
snow, that he sat down to rest, fell
asleep and died Of exposure. 1t was
very cold up in the mountains, with
strong east wind, and about two foot
Of snow.
Weidmar was batchelor and lived
back in the hills from the Taylor {;
MIR. Taylor heard him on Wednesday,
the 10th, calling his goats, and heard
him working with them all day, try
ing to get them down to his barn.
This was the last time he was ever
seen alive. The following day neigh
Dor boy stopped at the place and found
no one home He left note on the
table for Weidmar. He called again
two days later and the note was still
there. After week had passed and
no one had seen Weidmar, a searching
party was formed and searched all
last Friday for him without result
Saturday 23 searchers turned out, and
his remains were soon found. He had
evidently set down on a log to rest
after his strenerous exertions in the
deep snow, and fell asleep, and died.
N. L. Looney Of Corvallis, former
homesteader and neighbor of Weidmar
hurried over from Corvallis as soon
as he learned that Weidmar was miss
ing and aided in the search for him.
Mr. Looney and Mr. j. B. White Of
Nortons took the remains to Corvallis
for burial, and where an inquest was
also held. The inquest developed the
fact that there was no mark or bruise
on Weidmar, and strengthened the
theory that he had sat down and died.
Mr.. Weidmar was AZ years of age,
and has a sister living at Pine Island,
Mimi, and another invalid sister in
Switzerland, Of which country Mr..
Weidmar was a native.
Mr. Looney has been appointed ad-
ministrator Of Mr.. Weidmar's estate,
which consists of 100 acres of land,
about 70 goats, some War Stamps and
Bonds and about $500 in money.

way, then turned their raft loose and
came on to South Beach, where they
were provided with bed and food at
the home of D. S. Conrad. The next
morning Billy Ewing set them across

may not go hungry, as they have lain
