Some licceetl. hut moat fail In this des perate and unfair struggle. It is the business of the citi 'ns of Oregon to consider the sing generation.

And last of all, attention is dir feted to the expense. This is an Vportant matter and one which axpayers will .crutinize clo.ely. This ItiU calls for a levy on property in each county of not "ore than one-tenth of a mill on Nch dollar. The framers of the Jiill have gone over this matter farefully, and confidently assort hat such a measure will reduce nstead of increasing the expense fo the tax-payers of the State 'others know how to make dol ors go a long way.
