NEW TAX MEASURES The Board ot State Tax Commit alonera, acting In conjunction with a committee of five from th Senate and seven from the House, appointed un der a resolution of the last legislature assembly to prepare measure relat ing to taxation, to be aubmttted to the people through the initiative has pre pared four measures, petltlona for which are now being being circulated. The first providea for a constitution al amendment giving definite author ity for the taxation ot Incomes. If this amendment la adopted a law can then be enacted carrying out the pur pose ot the amendment The Income tax law recently enacted In Wiscon sin offers a splendid basis for auchj legislation. The purpose of the second bill la to amend Section 3554 of Lord's Oregon Laws by placing therein (aee para graph S ot proposed bill) a provision exempting from taxation all household furniture and effect actually In use in homes; also all wearing apparel and similar personal effect actually In use. This class of personal prop erty la entirely unproductive and It complete exemption la amply justified from considerations both ot equity and prncltical efficiency in taxation. The third MIL If enacted, would ab olish double taxation and the iniqui ties of the present system ot taxing credits. The State ot Washington several years ago enacted a law to this effect and It baa proved highly satisfactory. The fourth measure would amend our inheritance tax law to conform to the model law on this subject recom mended by the National Tax Associa tion. This model law has recently been enacted In New York and will doubtless be approved by many other States in the near future. The admin istrative work under the proposed law is placed in the hands ot the Board of Tax Commissioners. FATAL LACK OF SEA POWER Italy's seizure by naval operations of the City of Rhodes, the capital of the island of the same name, la an example ot how helpless a nation be comes when It Is without modern ar mored ships. The peace strength of Turkey' army is 875.000, with 375. 000 reserves, and a total of 2,000,000 available for naval duty. Italy's army in peace numbers 240,000 with 960. 000 reserves. The population of Italy is 33,700,000 and that of Turkey 24, 000,000. Invasion of Turkey by land would be an undertaking in which the most powerful nation might fall. But Italy has ten battleships of the latest pattern and a corresponding number of auxiliary fighting vessels. Turkey la practically without a navy, though it has been carrying 30,000 names on Its naval list, which is evidently a mere flourish on paper. Turkey offers a resistence on land that confines the Italian forces to the edges of the sea, but a hold of this kind has been enough to deprive Tur key of the cities of Tripoli and Rhodes while its forts at the mouth of the Dardanelles have been bombarded, and Its maritime commerce Is bottled up. The powers have offered no ser ious objection to Italy's armed annex ation of Turkish cities by the sea. It is clear that a new era Is coming In the Mediterranean and that the Turkish empire Is crumbling along It eastern boundaries. It Is ready and eager for prodigies of valor In the field, but It Is Impotent on the ocean, and therefore, to a great extent In its authority on land also. The cost of a modern navy is great, but to be without one Is far more expensive. MISSOURI REPUBLICANISM Republicanism in Missouri Is a steadfast political force based on pa- When Some Man Takes a Sodden Step up in the world, a lot of people tay "luck". - Prob ably he has worked and saved a long time to get ready for that step up. There i more saving bank luck than any) other kind, and the best of it is you can make it for yourself by opening an account here and depositing regularly. The Bank of THE OLDEST BANK IN triotlc devotion to the best welfare of the nation and atate. Through more than half a century It has earnestly, hopefully carried on an uphill light for sound principals In public affairs. It has grown steadily and faster than anv other Party In the state. It baa seen great national leaders pass away but ha never doubted that other men of balance, ability and fairness would be Miial to the resiwnslblllties de manded In the faithful, broad-minded and dlalnterested aervlce of the peo ple Having been thua vigorously for what It holds to be the true principles ot yovctnnipnt for fifty years,; and having pressed forward, through long year of defeat, to the point where It has repeatedly carried the state, the party is not to be turned aside by the blunder of those who may be runnin after other Ideals. Such mis takes are transient and without In fluence on the main business In hand. Any who attempt to mislead the party will be quickly eliminated. The logic of events will cast them out The re publican party of Missouri haa been able to down the densest and moat un scrupulous Bourbonlsm. It can handle amaller details. Its labor for good government In the nation and the best progress of a state will go on with increasing momentum. THE SEATTLE SPIRIT Seattle took very little interest In the work ot the Northwest Develop ment Congress doing duty at the Col iseum aald city all last last week. Probably there was not a sufficient amount of advertising done, for while people were visiting the city from sev en states, the residents of Seattle did not seem to understand that their city was housing such a distinguished lot of people as the Governors of 'aeven state and- thousands ot delegate giving their time at their own ex pense in an endeavor to make of the Northwest what it deserve. Had such a convention been held In Portland the people a well a tha newspapers would have welcomed the delegatea with opened anna Instead of with seeming indifference ot the Seattle people, usually overworked when It comes to boosting. What could have been the trouble? Throughout the week a railroad had whole page advertisements in all Seattle papers, booming certain Canadian lands, but little was said about the work of the great congress then in session al though its results are felt to be greater than of our TJ. S. Congress meeting at WashlngtonrD. C. Has Seattle lost the real booster spirit and is it going backward? THE BOOSTER SPIRIT Seattle la a wide awake city built on the lines ot our coast metropolis, San Francisco everybody on the run, business here or there, but still not to the extent ot our own Portland. Seattle, however, can teach us ail one thing the Booster spirit If Ore gon City people would be boosters in the Seattle sense for one year, we would let them all knock the rest of their lives If they wanted to, but we know they would not want to. We all say "we are from Missouri and you must show me." That is all we want to do. Come through with a small contribution to the advertising fund of the Commercial Club and yoi will be shown. One year's hard work at this time will do more for Oregon City and Clackamas County than all the talking about it will ever begin to do. We have the prospects. Let's have the game and name. PAPER MILL. EAST VS. WEST. A press dispatch says that a num ber of large Eastern newspaper mills have made a ten per cent advance In wages. The $1.50 men being advanced to 1.6a and the $1.75 men to $1.90 for an average of 12 hours. No one in the mills here receives less than an average of $2.00 for a like aay, while with the reward sys tems In effect here most of the lower paid help receive fifteen per cent bon us at leaBt five days per, week, mak ing their average wage about $2.62. Another evidence of the Oregon City prosperity claim, snd another reason why our poverty percentage is so small. BARTON BRIDGE To unite the districts of Logan and Barton with Oregon City Is the pres ent theme for discussion. As some one rightly said "Rome had the sys tem: all roads lead to Rome," so it Oregon City CLACKAMAS COUNTY should be her "All roads lead to Ore gon City" and with the roads coming our way w can be sure ot the busi ness. Whether they lead to Oregon City or not all parts of the county de serve like treatment and If the time la ripe the county commaaloner will grant the people of that section a bridge of proper construction to take rare ot the needs ot the rapidly grow ing population. CHAUTAUQUA Harvey B. Crose, Secretary df the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Aeso elation for IT of the past 19 years. says he I tired of the Job. An ad vertisement la out for the right man. The Enterprise thinks we already have the light man In the right place. Crossea are now popular with the la dles, so the Jeweler states and when satisfactory to the ladles, the men must fall In line. The coming meet at Gladstone is billed to be better than ever and con sidering the, dates are the same aa the Elk event In Portland, great crowds should be In dally attendance and the gate receipts likewise larger. SMALL FRUITS Strawberries are ripe. Have you ever aeen or tasted finer berries than those produced In our garden spots in and adjoining our city. We are sup plying our adjoining metropolis with the best to be had, berries better than produced elsewhere. "The Oregon" berry as produced In and about Ore gon City is distinctive enough to have another word added to its name, "The Oregon City" berry. All the small fruit farms are reaping the golden harvest, show more conclusively that the present advice "Back to The Soil' Is not amiss. If one Is willing to work. i PORTLAND EASILY DEFEATS OAKLAND PORTLAND, June 13, (Special) Klawltter waa In fine form today, and Portland beat the Oaks 3 to 0.

The enjoyment of hearty meals goes with good health and the power of accomplishment Ask her to try some of these. Strawberry Cream Cakes. Place 1-2 cup butter and 1 cup boil ing water In a saucepan over the fire, and as soon as boiling point Is reach ed add one cup flour and stir vigor ously.. As soon as well mixed remove from the fire and add, one at a time, 4 unbeaten eges. Beat each one in thoroughly, until well mixed, before adding the next egg. Now drop this batter by tablespoonfuls on buttered tins about 1 1-2 Inches apart, shaping as nearly circular as possible, and bake about thirty minutes In a mod erate oven. Then, with a sharp knife, make a cut In each puff, large enough to admit of the following filling. Beat 1 cup thick cream until stiff, add liberal 1-4 cup sugar, the stiffly beaten white of one egg, 1-2 cup of mashed strawberries, and 1-4 teaspoon vanilla flavoring. Strawberry Shortcake. Sift together two cupa of flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1-2 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons sugar, then work in 1-4 cup butter and gradually add 3-4 cup milk. Toss on toa floured board, divide In two parts, pat, roll out, and bake about 12 minutes in a hot oven on layer cake tins. When done, split and spread with butter. Crush straw berries slightly, sweeten to taste, and put between and on top of shortcakes. Cover top with sweetened whipped cream. Berry Ices. To 1 1-2 cups sugar add 4 cups water and boll 20 minutes, or until It syrups. then add 2 cups strawberry, rasp berry or currant Juice (a mixture of half raspberry and bal f currant is nice), and In the case of Strawberry or raspberry alone, add to the former 1 tablespoon and to the latter 2 table spoons lemon Juice. Let the mixture get colld, and then freeze To ob tain the pure fruit juice mash, heat a little, but add no cold water, and squeeie through a cheese-cloth bag. Strain again if the liquor doe not look clear enough.

That Antl Single Tax Report Canby, Ore., June 7. Editor of the Enterprise: Being aware ot the prejudice existing among the farmers aualnot aingle tax. and knowing that thla same feeling wa being systematically fostered, it waa hardly to be expected that the 8tate Grange would do other than report ad versely on tbla measure, yet It waa somewhat of a surprise that. In so doing, a body usually deliberative should allow themselves to be drawn Into the endorsement of a set ot res olutions so reeking with venom, ml statementa and halt-truths aa reported In the the "Enterprise" of May 21th. It savor more of the personal anlmua of some Individual than the calm Judgment of a thoughtful assembly. lira. GUI' letters, however, state that "the biting preamble" was later ex' punged from the record. The dele gates were certainly Justified In being ashamed of the report. To openly and honestly oppose the single tax move ment Is legitimate warfare, but to at tempt to create the Impression that It is a "bold attempt ot the Standard Oil Co." Is not only slanderous, but positively silly. Any one conversant with single tax literature, especially with that weekly evangel of freedom, "The Public," so long and ably edited by Louis F. Post knows that nowhere has predatory wealth and the special privileges truth make such conditions possible been more critically portray ed and the remedies suggested. Hut in the case of this particular resolu tion, the Standard Oil Company, by Its Infamous notoriety, is made to do service aa the "goblin that's going to get you if yon don't look out" The array of "denounces" and "con denmns" range the whole gamut from the houry "unconstitutional." the fav orite anthem of the pro-slavery sympa thizers ot the CO to the ordinary cap italistic exploiter's "confiscation" and "impair the obligation contracts" song, but the bright particular star in the galaxy is No. 5, where after the us ual "condemn" and the statement that "single tax can In no way Increaae the wagea ot the laborer," la blazoned forth this gem of economic thought; "that wages can only be Increased by the Increase of capital; the lncrcaao in the elllclency of labor, or a de crease in the number of laborers. There you have It the whole comfort able capitalistic philosophy compress ed into one sentence. What a shock this must be to the Socialists; to see the whole theory of surplus value," so painstakinly elaborated by Karl Marx. through hundreds of pages, Jrom his torical and statistical data, demolish ed by mere "be It resolved or "we condemn," and the question definitely settled that labor' is receiving the highest possible reward under pres ent conditions. A study of the "cost of production" tables of the census re ports will tell a different story, but It is not necessary to go Into statistics to prove the fallacy of the position taken in No.;fi, for one word will suf fice and that work is "strikes." Who ever has witnessed even a hopyard strike has seen an Increase of wages without "an Increase of capital. In crease In the efilcency of labor or de crease in tbe number of laborers. In the face of such expressions of a wage fund theory, It might be well not to take too seri&usly the final conclusion that the adoption of single tax "would mean ruin to the farmers of Oregon." the partial application of this principle in some of the Canadian provinces ap pears to have no terrors for tbe actual producer and bomeseeker, even the American ones, who have emigrated there by the thousands. The graduated feature of the land tax (which for some reason was not specifically "denounced") has been for twenty years In operation In New Zea land; was enacted with the avowed Intention of breaking up tha large holdings and in spite of (he usual cry of "confiscation." and within recent years many of the municipalities have by local option vote, adopted a yet nearer approximate to single tax. Evi dently the majority there do not fear "ruin." As a granger I had fondly hoped that the Enterprise account may have been inaccurately reported but as sev eral weeks have elapaed and no cor rectlons were made It Is evident that the grange must have "fallen" for the whole thing. GEO. OGLE. Could Shout for Joy. "I want to thank you from the bot tom of my heart," wrote C. B. Radcr, of Lewlsburg, W. Va., "for the won derful double benefit I got from Elec tric Hitters, In curing me of both a severe case of stomach trouble and of rheumatism, from which I bad been an almost belpleus sufferer for ten years. It suited my case as though made Just for me." For dyspepsia, indigestion, Jaundice, and to rtd tbe system of kidney poisons that cause rheumatism. Electric Bitters hsve no equal. Try them .
