Monday a man who Inst nuliimn pur . chnxod at) orchard went to .ljieknonville tn pay (axes mid found that Ink place waH not oa the rolls Huh year and had not been assessed, Then last year's assessment was taken, ami a flat in c reuse of -HI per cent made, which mm stands as an assessment against I his property. A few months aj." the same man sent ft posloffiee order in payment of taxes due on timber land to the sheriff, fie was surprised to learn on inquiry I hat tuxes were delinquent, ami it was not until he furnished the sluhs of the mon ry order went in payment that he sue ceeded in having the matter straight ened out. Thorp are dozens of similar cases that oan ho cited in all parts of the poimty, showing that a most deplorable nml lax system prevails in the sheriff's nnd assessor ' offices. People who hnvo receipts for taxi's paid are snr prised to learn thai their property lias hoeii shoved upon Die delinijiient list, and others are suprrised to learn that thoir property has not oven been placed upon the tax list. On not these thing Huest the need of ox port inspection of county records? Do they nut in like the n I of such in Rppption imperative! No matter how mneli confidence you might, have in an agent, would you let' li succession of ngeals run your busi liens for 20 or .'10 yean without an ef fort to find out what was done with your money! Vet that is exactly what citizen of Jackson county have done and are doing. It U time for citizens to wake up and introduce modern business methods In the. handling of their finances. No' wonder taxes climb higher each year. It is up to the county court to act in this matter, for to him has been delegated the necessary authority. What nro yon going to do iihoi ... Judgp Dunn!

STATE SOCIALISM VERSUS SOCIALISM Difference Between Present Oondiionn, Which Are Described an Real State Socialism, and the True Theory Held by Socialists Everywhere. I K.VHtAL I'OIN'T, Feb. '.'. Kdilor: I reenitly noticed one t'dyou's HjH-eches, ill which he To (he .f ( or refers to stale soi-ialism as being inevitable u n less it can be averted by t he gov ernment having more thorough control of (he railroads and other huge cor pontic interests, aad at the same time he speaks of the enormous power and eonseipieiit evils alteiid.-int upon the up puiiitive power that would cuhuc from state .socialism. I shall tint attempt to gainsay the truth of this assertion, from a socialist ntniidpoint. Indeed, t he soi-in list nude islands as well am) clearly as anyone 1 he nat ure and ox I n ine danger nf- the evils of eoneentra t ion of I he appoint i vo power by the administration or any of the official of state or nation, and will always light this clans of h-gislalioa to the full ex lent of his power, State socinlism has nothing whatever to do with socialism, and the name "state" coupled with socialism Is not king but an intrigue and polil icu I scheme put up by the old parlies to mihload Hie ignorant vot er. State Socialism Defined. Socialism knows nothing of the term state socialism, only as it is used by the old parties, and it has, according to their definition, to deal with an appointive power, and if in operation would handle t he railroads and ot her properties that came under its control the same as the posloffiee is handled by the government today; that is, by an appointive power, hi this sense it would place under federal control a great many lucrative positions, and so would assume an enormous power in shaping the control of national elections. The ins would be very hard to get out, and the opporl unil ies for rascality would be multitudinous. We have too much of this kind of government under our present system, and the socialist is doing all he can to get riil nf Hie system that breeds cor nipt ion. With this end in view, it holds to the principle that alt oflicers of the government should be idee ted by the people nnd should be subject to recall, and should only hold o It ice as long as they gave tm I inflict ion to the people who elected them. Farther, the socialists hold (hat all laws should be made returnable to the people for rat ificatio?) before they becoin nf ebinding effect, and hence the people would be a law making power unto themselves. 1 An Industrial Coinmonwonlth. These are well known socialist prin ; ciplcs and it ought to need no argu : moot In convince people Hint they are t me. The socialist form of govern tnent is m rely an industrial common wealth, a commonwealth wherein every body labors and gets the full produel e." his or her toil, and as such would have nothing to do wit h polit U-s, as '.here would be no delegating of power. Hence the oflicers would have nothing to seell, and hence no politics of policy wherein the delegated system could sell their brothers out as is the case at pros out. This is I he d if ferenee in I he two systems: One favors an appointive pow er and a delegated power, and this is state socialism, or republicanism, as it is ndininirttered today; the other is so cialism, as it is understood bv all men who understand the tenets of socilim and Coilelviiu and nil the lesser lights when t hey yell state socialism do Nt simply to detract attention from them selves. 1 he toilers of the nation are getting tired ot the old political buncom, where in the real producer does all the work and the idler, the politician if you pleane. gets the lion's share of the things he did not produce.

The offering of bounties for the scnlps of predatory animals has so often faih-d to accomplish tho good hoped for that the bounty plan has lost favor in many localities. The Wool (! rowers associat ion nf Oregon has jiiMt gone on record at its recent meet ing at The Dalles as favoring the aban doiimcnt nf lite bounty syHtem and sub stlluling the system nf killing the an iinals by private effort ami employ ment of professional hunters. The its sneiat ion will take up t In work, and ask assistance from t ho nat ional assn cintlon. Quarter Million Loss, .1. X. Jiurgess, president of the asso ciation, estimates that Iregon sheep owners lost the past year .fL'."n,t)0u by predatory animals and that the loss of other farm stock, including poultry, would increase the loss to $oMI,(IO. The Pnited States forest service has deinnnstrated that efficient wnrk can be done by t rained hunters, who are sent to the ranges to make a Hpecinl business of k illiug wolves, and such ot her denizens of the forests as prey on glneks of sheep. A number of such hunters nre now at work, and they are ridding some nf the ranges very rapidly of the animals who do so much damage each year. Wolvos Tracked to Dens. Wolves are tracked to their dens, the pick ami shovel us well as the rifle are brought into play, and the young tire found and destroyed. A campaign of that kind strikes at the root nf the evil. So wast, linweer, is the western lit rv that the work nf a few hunters can give only local relief; but if t In state Stock (I rowers ' associations go at it in earnest, as regnn organ .n lions prose, tin' war will soon grow de- idedly interesting for the four footed skulkers that have grown fat on mut ton, pork, veal nnd poultry.

Thirty acres of the orchard is in Spitzenberg and New town apples and Cornice pears. Fifteen acres in prunes, with good dryhouse on premises. Fully 60 acres more of good fruit land on the tract, covered with brush, but with enough firewood on same to pay for clearing and setting to fruit.
