Your committee appointed to
frame resolutions expressive of the
sorrow of thit) lodge in the death of
our venerable brother, Abrani Allen
Kngels, beg to report that In the
death of Hrother Kngels the lodge
has lost not only one of its earliest
members, but one of lis most faith
ful and devoted members as well.
liro. Kngels was not only a pio
neer Mason, but as a resident of Ore
gon, a pioneer of the pioneers. He
came to Oregon, then a territory,
more than t5 years ago, when scarce
ly more than a boy, and spent his
youth, his mature manhood and his
old ago In our midst. As u volunteer
soldier he assisted in the defense of
the country which we now inhabit,
from the Indians In the early fifties,
and as a citizen contributed his full
share in the establishment and main
tenance of civil government in the
state of his adoption.
For more than 4 7 years he was a
member of Laurel Lodge.
In the death of Kro. Kngels the
lodge has lost a true and loyal
Mason and member. Tho county, the
state and the community In which
he lived, a good citizen and an hon
est man. nnd his surviving children a
devoted father.
He it resolved, Hint the charter of
this lodge be draped and the breth
ren wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for 3d days and that a copy of
tiiese resolutions be furnished t he
children of our deceased brother and
the local newspapers for publication.

WHY BORROW TROUBLE?
(Krom Iho Tux Liberator.)
Our st:ito boards and commissions, dep;irtmonts and institu
tions, have asked for something like 1,000,000 more than can be
levied under the limitation amendment. Now comes the question,
"What will happen if the Legislature appropriates u greater
amount of money than is permitted under the new amendment "
Will nil appropriations be reduced pro rata or will they all be
illeital? Some of our friends at Salem seem to be losing sleep
over this perplexing question.
The Tax Liberator is a tax publication, not a lawyers' maga-
zino. It will not usurp the prerogatives of the legal profession,
but is content to leave that field to the lawyers and the courts.
It would humbly suggest, however, that if the Legislature will
j comply w ith the will of the people as expressed through the
I amendment, a'nd limit their appropriations to an amount which
will be w ithin the law, then there will be no trouble.
I Some people seem to have the idea that no Legislature will
act in a sensible manner. The Tax Liberator cannot take that
view. It fe.-ls that the Legislature w ill not jeopardize its 10 days
of work by appropriating more money than can be levied under
the Tax Limitation amendment.
good men in it, and the present Legislature is particularly for
tunate in that respect. No doubt the members of the Legislature
will make enough mistakes without wishing any on them in ad
vance. Whv borrow trouble?

TALK HAPPINESS.
Talk happiness. Tbe world Is sad
enough
Without your woes. No path in
wholly rough;
Look for the placo that are smooth
and clear,
And speak of those to rest the weary
ear
Of earth, so hurt by one continu
ous strain
Of human discontent and grief and
and pain.
Talk faith. The world is better oft
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
doubt.
If you have faith in GGd, or man,
or self.
Say so; if not, push back upon the
shelf
Of silence nil your thought till faith
shall come;
No one shall grieve because your
lips are dumb.
