Coroner...- St. Helen County Officia Paper... TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS The amended postal laws of the United Stale, whie'i went into effect January 1st 1(108, requires that no paper v naJl be sent through the mails, except upon the payment of transient second class postage unless it id paid up to within a year of the date of mailing .. This makes it necessary for us to strike from our list all delinquent subscriber and, as rapidly as possible, put the sub scription list on a cash basis, as, of course, we cannot afford to pay postage or violate the law to accomodate those who are in arrears. All papers have been given a reasonable time to adjust their business to tbii new basis so we trust those of you who know yourselves to be behind with your subscription will make an effort to settle up, and, if possible, pay one year In advance. The Mist is now the official paper of the county, and it is also the biggest, best and cheapest paper in the county We intend that it shall be better worth the money than at any time in its his tory. The court proceedings will be published in full, the real estate tran sactions giveu weekly, and all new oi interest from all parts of the county will bs found in the Mi"t. If you know you are indebted to the Mist aid ns by send' ing in the amount due and one year in advance. THE SINGLE TAX The single tax advocates are endeavor ing by initiative petition to to secure the adoption of the Henry George svstem of taxation in Oregon. They offer to the farmers a bribe in the shape of ex emption for their buildings and im provements, but propone to place all taxes upon the land. It is claimed that the adoptiou of this system of taxation will induce all the manufacturing plants hereafter located on the Pacific Coast to come to Oregon, but, of course, if such an inducement were offered California and Washington would probably bid a little higher, and our temporary advan tage wonld be lost. No system of tax ation that gives one class of property exemption can fail to be burdensome to all other classes. We are engaged in a struggle for equal taxation of all classes of property, and, despite many burdens and setbacks, we are making progress. Instsad of exempting all property ex cept the land, we want to see to It that every class of property, without excep tion, hears its full share of tha public burden. Every amendment to the pres ent law should be in this direction. COMMUNICATED Vkkmonu; Ore., Jan. 7, 1008. Editor Mikt : ' - Having Juct reoieved letter from the Own Tax Reform AsjocI atl n, rq le.ting me to circulate an In itiative p-ntloii for an amendment to the constitution, I sincerely hope you will give tan recognition through the columns of your paper to express niy sentiments on this matter, They in form d in? In their letter that Mr. A W. Caoihorn, of the Oregon Journal, recoui mended me as the right man to circulate this petition. Hud Mr. . Can thorn known me he rettninlv would have known that I was tho wrong man to circulate a petition of this character in a civilised community. We, as far mer and citiren, certainly do not want to be exempt from any just tax atlou. We do consider our building and live stock as valuable property and mbj ct to a reasonable tax. We further consider the manufacturing establish ment of Oregon us valuable property, and to exempt the same from taxation would be outrageous and would appear to me as a verv one-sided affair. If the instigates of this scheme, .who call themselves "The Oregon Tax Reform Association," would iustigate tome re form that did not have atich a strong in dicalion of "class legislation" we would feel more at liberty to aid the project and to assist in every way that we could to bring about an equal and just taxation. Hut, whereas the manufac turing establishment of Oregon are of vast Importance to the State, we see no reason why the? should be exempt from taxation, (and the appurtenance hereto, as stated in the petition, as this alone would cause untold litigation, in my mind) I heartily support the initi ative and referendum, and would be glad to see all laws brought before the people in this way. But, when any man or set of men have the audacity to put their heads together to invent a scheme whereby they exempt from tax ation all the costly residence of the neat and tidy appearance, Ho should not aerntch or ror his de-k keep the lloor around his do-k (rv from papers and pencil shaving", ho should not mark or tear hi book.., Ho should have each leeaou prepared when culled upon to recite, lie should n it whisper or write note without permission.

I belive it the duty of every citl- zta to be on the alert as to any ill dis posed scheme to defile our excellent con stitution. I would like to ask a few questions of any gentlemen of this com mittee: Are not the manufacturers of Oregon prosperous? I answer, yes. Why, then, do they proclaim unjust taxation? For example: If the timber industry cannot pay their share of the tax, with lumber at from 20 to 10 per thousand, bow theu can the land holder pay all the tax with wheat at 85o per bushel and potatoes at 78c per sack, and only part of their land cleared at that ? Answer those question and look upon such a petition with shame. Now Mr. EJltor, I will not take np any more of your valuable space at present, hot all! assure you that this is only one barrel ; but if this question is debatable through the columns of your paper I will give yo i the other barrel next week or any other old time.

Hi latest proposition of a "court journal" is most unique and a not unworthy emi nation of this rather eccentric man. Much a we admire this scintillating Congressman from Alaba ma, our conservatism forces us to differ with him In this instance and to bespeak a preference for cur true and tried friend the Congressional Record. The latest report Is to the effect that Mr. Bonaparte is running a gum-shoe canvatg to make himself President. But why not, if he enjoys it? Certainly one mon little boom "won't do no hum." (By Ada fiaoa'is, (it. ilUut High Bebool) A child who is to enter school should be well disciplined at home. The parent should send the child to school every day, unles he is ill, and see that he leaves home in time to reach school between eight thirty and nine clo k. He should go to nod from school in a civil and respectful manner. The pa-ents should instruct the child to obey bis teacher imnlicltlv wl,i,. , , j , the greatest panacea toward the peven tlon of all school difficulties. If a child is puni-hed it is because of disobedience, and be, and not his teacher Is at fault. Wise parent bestow the blame where it belongs and all trouble Is averted. The child on reaching the school bouse should go quietly to his room, spesk to bis teacher, take bi seat and begin his work. His conduct in school should be of the best, he should not drop pencils and books as It is an annoyance to the others. When signals are given he should obey them quickly and quietly. la walking to mid from the black board he abould go quietly so as not to disturb the other pupils who are study ing. - He should not look out of the window or turn around in his seat, unless com manded or permitted to do so. He should use good clean language only. HI band ahould be clean, and his hair combed. la fast be should bay a I 7000 MO Jan II A K and J B Brown to Laura II Crook ' of 02"J.U7 a.
