THE FORUM
Where Every One Has His Say
La Grande, Jan. 7. (To the Editor.)-!
believe good majority of
the taxpayers of Oregon realize; and
.. believe that we need some reform as
. sessment laws, in regard to assenoing
intangible personal property.
- In order to get tiiis reform, an
amendment to the constitution is ne
cessary. Our legislators so far have
. failed to get an amendment before
the people, that was satisfactory.

Take Haifa Family Pllla for eonatlpatloa
land a few weeks ago, the matter was
pretty thoroughly discussed, and the
unanimous opinion was, that the op
pended amendment, or similar word
ing, would meet with the approval ol
the people, if submitted to then, at
the next general election by the leg
islature. !
I have talkd with a number of tax
payers in this county, that give this
proposed amendment their unqualified
endorsement, while they were op
posed to the measure that was voted
on at the recent election.
However, in order to .get a more
general opinion of the taxpayers, I
would suggest a little discussion in
the newspapers would be a good idea.
Without amending the oonstitution
of Oregon, , our present farcical pre
tense of assessing intangible personal
property, must be continued, and the
assessors of Oregon will be com
pelled to struggle along with a very
unsatisfactory system of taxation on
this class of property.
As taxpayers we all have the. best
interests of our county andsstate at
heart and to get away from the pres
ent unjust system, will require some
action on our part.
Write your representatives backinir
them up in supporting a resolution,
to bring before the people, at the
next general election, a measure of
this kind, ' '
The amendment as proposed here
only changes the constitution, in. re
gard to intangible property, and de
fines what shall be considered in

Taxes shall be levied on such in

When you trake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, s&ya a well-known authority.
Meat forms urio acid which overworks
! the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidney
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels i re
moving all the body's urinous waste,
elm you have backache, sick headache,
diuy spells'; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is "cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night, ;
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidney will then set fine. This faawos
salta is made from the acid of grapes
and leroon juice, combined with litkia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish Udneys,
also to neutralise acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, eanaot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-wster drink. .
