l!ut all appreciate the occasional return to the footlights
of stage veterans who for a few hours each year resume
for the common pleasure roles which have delighted many
thousands in days gone by.
In Ivl Andrews Medford has an operatic comedian
equal to any upon the stage today and better than any
th if visit the vi'ley. In K. W. Walters we claim a tenor that
few professional troupes can equal. Mrs. Ilazelrigg and
Mrs Andrews a re -the superior of nine-tenths of the trav
eling stars of today. A. C. Murgess as bass and W. Quis
sciihurv as comedian complete the small band of former
opera singers, who, with Charles D. Ilazelrigg as director,
have s'i delighted us. Around this neuclus has been gath
ered local taleot that any place might boast of. The work
of Mis- Kif'ert and Dr. Harnett, and that of the well train
er l.i i ably supports that of the stars and enables the
proiim tioi, of the highest class of operas in a small city.

l'HOCEDFHE FOll OIIEGOX TAX 11EFOIIM.
Professor F. (1. Voting, head of the department eco
nomics and sociology of the University of Oregon, has
issued, after several months spent in the study of his sub
ject, a bulletin in which he discusses one of the two ways
of making the burden of taxes bear less heavily on the
average citizen of the Oregon, lie points out the meth
ods of taxation that must be adopted to secure an equit
able distribution of the weight of public expenditures
anil discusses means of keeping down the aggregate. Pro
fessor Young believes that the vital matter for the people
oi Oregon in uieir puhiic attairs is not so mucii to put as
little money as possible into public activities as it is to
get the largest possible returns from the money put in
and to have all share in the contribution according to the
just standard.
Ability to pay is his conception of the just standard.
In order to maintain a system of taxation in Oregon se
curing revenues from taxpayers iu proportion to their re
spective abilities to pay he thinks that the first requisite
is the establishment of a high grade tax commission, which
should have power to assess corporations of general status,
especially public service corporations, to supervise all local
assessments, to investigate closely the whole subject of tax
ation and to supervise the accounting systems of all state
institutions, of counties and of municipalities. The sec
ond step, he thinks, should be the amendment of the state
constitution so that intangible personally could be taxed
at such rates and by such methods as to secure full return;
better exempt altogether than continue the present in
iquitous farce of invisible personalty taxation. Corpora
tions should be taxed an by ad valoruni system that secures
assessment, in proportion to income earning power. The
third readjustment he advocates is a scientific adjust
inent of taxes to taxing jurisdictions obviating the diffi
eulties and injustice always attending apportionment of
taxes among counties.
EYE11YOXE IX FAYOll OF IT.
At Saturday's meeting the Uogue Kiver Horticultural
society unanimously passed a resolution, which represents
the sentiment of the fruitgrowers of the valley, asking the
county court and commissioners to immediately appropri
ate itO0,0(H for the Crater Lake road.
In circulating petitions in Medford Saturday, no
trouble was met with iu securing over ,"00 .-ignatures ol
taxpayers. No one was seen who did not favor the ap
propriation.
Jt will be hard for anyone to find a valid excuse for
refusal to endorse the proposed appropriation, and the
commissioners will find their action backed up by niue
tenths of the taxpayers of Jackson county.

Medford is to be congratulated upon possessing so mu
operatic aim uiusieiti talent, it issatetosa that imcitvl
of its size ;ui where can equal it. !
The two performances given last week of " Kra Dia-j
volo" under the direction of Mr. Ilazelrigg, were hv all
odds, the fines' operatic attractions ever presented to the!
people of Oregon by local talent. No home production in'
Portland or elsewhere began to equal them No travel
ing troupe ever rendered an opera of similar merit here,
and such popular productions as the 'Alaskan" and "The
lurgoinaster" contrast very poorly when loinpared to
them.
Medford is becoming a Mecca for retired opera singers,
who prefer the sunny skies, verdure-clad hills, laughing
streams and beautiful vistas of the Kigue River valley to
the tinsel and tawdry of the stage, and the peaceful, ideal
