V " UAILV CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, ORRGOV. THURSDAY, OCTORKR , 1000. '! Bgtaxes MARRIAGE LICENSES fed Some Ideas of the Horse Editor's Concerning Them rhe suit to determine the legality Itho dog tax or dog license, which er It may be found to be, 1b at- actlng considerable attention, and ere will be a feeling of genuine re- If when it is decided right, which I er way that may be. The horse lltor does not pretend to bo wise, In fact, freely admits that he much lierwise, and though he has never en a horse, despite Miss Anna aw's statement, has a smattering ' horse sense. It may be that the ty council in its unwisdom nns &me imaginary reason for taxing ;-ners of dogs, but, if so, "It and iod" alone knows the reason, and either seems disposed to tell. But Ihere' is another license far more In excusable than that levied on the own I r3 of dogs a licence that Is an iu lult to intelligence and an outrage on Elecency, and that It the marriage license. "God moves in a mysterious hvay His wanders to perform," says the old hymn, but the Oregon legis lature does a stunt that makes an average mystery seem as plain as a mathematical calculation. Why should any man be compelled to pay the county for the -privilege of tak ing the woman ho loves to his heart, to become a part of himself, tne mother of his children, his other and better half, without which neither Is complete? Why should the coun ty or state compel a man to pay for the privilege of doing what It wants him to do, and what Is necessary to the very life of the community itself? Is marriage an institution to bo rated with the keeping of a sa loon, the auctioning of goods, the using of a shotgun or the owning of a doc? When Johnny gets a strangle hold on Mayme's or Grayce's willowy waist and gazes down Into the clear , denths of her pellucid- oyes, and sees thero only his own image, and she snuggles her dear little flossy head up against his breast, why should tho measly minions of the law butt in and demand three big American dollars, before he can give her his name and share his love, his trials. his joys and his debts with her? What business has the county with assuming ownership of the girl, and selling her to anyone at any price? What business is It of tho county s. or any one's else, except tho parties in interest and their parents? The license to marry Is nil right, since It ciinrda ncalnst fraud, but why charge for it? But if marriage Is punlshablo by a fine, strictly payable in advance, why not make it larger? Why in sult every woman by charging her would-be husband for the privilege of Imagining he owns her $3."50, while for bossing n female dog the price Is run up to six big plunks? Is It supposed by our wise lawmakers that It Is really worth more to a man to own a dog than it is to possess, a wife? Is her value only threo and one-half times that of an old muzzle loading shotgun? Does it injure tho community and shock Its sense of propriety 50 cents worth more for a man to marry than to purchase a bull pup? If the license is correct, It does. A license Is levied, or said to be, to comnensato the community for some real or lrpaglnary Inconvenience or possible Injury, and so long as me ttate or county nunlshes marriage by levying a fine for committing it. so long will horse editors with horse sense, as well as all the other sensi ble people, be compelled to admit that our lawmakers look upon mar riage as an offense -if not against public decency and morality at least against public policy. The horse editor has no ax to gslnd, he Is not seeking matrimony, be was fined once for the offense down in Nevada, where the lawmak er had a truer conception of a good Groan's value, and raade the pun khtuent $10, That was some years aso. when tha horse editor's back nilr was on straight, money was not much of an object, and he was aot so welt versed In caBh value.

The San Francisco Chronicle says: Tho officials of the Harrlman lines are busy experimenting with a new motive power. The Idea is to have automobiles on rails. Single pas senger conches will bo fluted up with gasoline motors, and will be used to speed along suburban routes or on branch lines where the travel is not sufficiently heavy to require locomo tives and one coach can often do the service. The motor shave been tried out by the engineers of the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific, and the latest reports show that they are being perfected and will rapidly be adapted for the use of regular service. Tho Union Pacific has been ex perimenting with the scheme for some time, and It Is announced that tho engineers of the road have fitted up several cars, which Have operated to the perfect satisfaction of every one. The Idea Is simple In the extreme. In the rear of a slngle-pnssenger conch a powerful gasoline motor Is Installed, resembling much tho mo tor of an automobile. An attach ment is made to the rear axle of the car, after tho scheme of an automo bile attachment, and the machine is ready for service. The only difficul ty to overcome In tho scheme has been" the tremendous weight of tho average passenger coach. It takes a high horse power engine to drive the heavy coaches with any speed, and especially to overcome a grade of any difficulty i&vm THE IEST REMEDY For eut, barm, brut, orei, gli,btbed wire cut nd all hurt of tutu or beutli Dean's King Cactus Oil the only liniment that heals without a acor. 15c, E0c, II, 13 and IS tlzci.

The new system will be much cheaper than hauling by locomotives, and it is thought that the single cars will bo ablo to attain a higher speed. Tho Idea ap peals to the officials In that tho en tire equipment of a train will be the one car. This will cut down tho train force, and will almost" make it possible to have the car operated by one man, or at least two. Power ful motors will be installed and high pressure brakes, so that the single passenger coach will be whisked over the rails at a high rate of speed, and can be brought to a dead stop by the application of the powerful air brakes. o Piles Cured Quickly at Home WITHOUT PAIN, CUTTING OR SURGERY INSTANT RELIEF.
