PUBLICAN" HAD FEW FRIENDS
Tax-Gatherer, In the Days Of Our Lord,
Was a Person Of Common
Devastation.

The publican was a tax-gatherer
under system known as farming out
the taxes, common throughout many
parts of Roman empire at the time
of Our Lords earthly ministry. For
a capital sum paid down to the gov
eminent the taxes Of province or
district were made over to the pur-
chaser, who in turn might subdivide
his district and sell the taxes of the
parts to different persons. The men
employed to collect the taxes we're
the publicans. The system was bad
in many ways. 1t necessitated large
taxes, because only part of the mon
ey reached the treasury, and it
turned loose upon the people an ava
ricious, INSCRIPTIONS band of collec-
tors. AS class the publicans were
detested. Xenophon, the Greek gen.
eral and historian, said they were
robbers. Theocritus, another anci-
ent writer, being asked which were
the worst kind of wild beasts, re-
piled, "On the mountains, bears and
lions; in the cities, publicans and
pettifoggers." BY the Jews the pub
licans were especially detested.
Theirs was a conquered country,
and they hated their Roman con-
querors. The tax-gatherer was a re-
minder of their position, and their
taxes went to pagan government.
However, tax-gathering was neces-
sary, and no doubt there were honor
able men among the publicans. At
least, there was one in Palestine, for
st. Matthew was a publican.

Transportation
Discussed AT
Noon Luncheon

That there has been little JUS
tiee exercised In the increase in
freight rates. was the statement
OF c. /. Lewis, assistant general
manager OF the Oregon Growers
association, when speaking this
noon before the members OF the
Commercial club.
I'VE are living In an agricul-
tural community, community
which depends on the success Of
our agricultural industry. and
1000 miles away from cur mar
kets. The freight question enters
in in this way:
Suppose you have some land
which produces 5000 boxes Of ap-
pies to the acre. Your freight rate
is 81 cents a box, amounting to
six per cent on $4,000, enough to
pay the interest on your land.
Take prunes. There are TO-
900 acres OF prunes IN this yicin-
ity, The freight Is Sl.bb a hund-
red pounds. not including switch
ing charges. Prunes are worth
this year two cents a pound. What
are you going to 90 when your
freight rate Is equal to your price
received ?"
Mr.. Lewis cited the Instance
OF California oranges and lem
ons, stating that the freight price
on lemons from that state to New
York was equal to the selling
price Of italian lemons on the
same market.
Frank Deckabach. previous to
the speech OF Mr.. Lewis talked on
the necessity Of doing something
for the railroads.
