insta TAX
From time since man began to live in
communities and per necessity had some
form of government to maintain, the
burden of taxation has been heavy upon
the people. But taxes were imposed by
the big men and the great ruler and
the people could derive some satisfaction
by grumbling at their rulers whorn they
could see and sometimes kill and nn
occasional instances .revolution or the
threat thereof brought a slight reduction
of the annual tributes demanded. The
heaviest tax by far that is imposed and
relentlessly gathered from ' man is that
levied by beings so insignificant in size
as to be scarcely visible, even with mag
nifying glasses. These tax impose rs and
gatherers for want ot better names w
call insects and fungil They go into our
orchards, growing crops, herds, ward
robes a. id bodies and appropriate the
thinj-. created by man's labor, to their
own use to a degree that would be startl
ing were the values thus taken from us
be expressed in dollars and cents. :
Dr. C. V. Riley, though no bug cater
himself, yet a close observer of what
bugs eat, and considered of the the high
est authority in the country on the habits
of insects, estimated the average annual
loss in the United States - from the
ravages of insects alone at not lessthan
ten per cent of the total value of all crops
grown. This he describes as "a tax upon
agriculture much greater than the com
bined levies for the support of schools,
and maintenance of our municipal,
county, state and national governments."
The United States census gives the
value of the products grown on the
5.739.657 farms in the United State
in 1900 as worth $3,764,177,706. The
ten per cent insect tax on this would be
$37,641,777 which was paid to the bugs
by the 10.438.219 persons engaged in
agriculture 'that year not counting the
losses of animals on the farms which in
the year 1903 were valued at 3,102.
515,540. ,': '.
There are a few farmers who grumble
because the state authorities of Oregon
insist that ' they should spray their
orchards and dip their scabdy sheep to
get rid of this enormous bug tax.
A GOOD AMENDMENT
Among - the several constitutional
amendments to be voted on at the com
ing general election is one which proposes
to relieve the legislature of the work 'of
amending city charters and leave the
matter with the electors interested.
Th. measure should be unanimously
adopted. No matter in w ich the legisla
ture has dabbled for all t'-iese years since
Oregon became a state less properly be
longs to that body than Uie amending of
city charters, changing of county seats,
and kindred matters. They are foreign
to the interests of the legislative assemb
ly, and bills relating to them are generally
eonverted into trading stock regardless of
their merits. The gentlemen fro i Jack
son or Josephine cares not the I b of a
black lamb's taji about a mea sure unend
ing the charter of Dalles City, w' ither it
be that Front street shall bj hL ted in
red or groan, or w.ulhjr Jill bjarj shall
be on the hospital heights.
The disposal of lliesj qu.-stions- should
most certainly be left to a vote .of the
people' directly interested. The Dalits

waste matter and impurities in the svstem, whicfc, coming in contact with
the natural amis of the body, form uric at M. This is absorbed by the blood
and as it penetrates to th muscles, nerves and bones produces the terrible
pains ami aches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. Life is
