Tho nsuoBBinent of taxes In tho statu of Oregon seems a strangu pro cuodlng to peoplo coining hero from tho far Hunt. Tho Idoa of assessing household goods when they amount to less than 300 Is an odd proposl lion to tliuin. Tho poor struggling married man with n few housohold goods gets It In tho uuck hero, whllo tho slnglu man with no ono to look after but hlmnelf gots off easy, In the Atlantlu states tlio poor married man pays no moro than tho single man In tho way of taxes. Instead of household goods bulng assessed a man's occupation boars tho assess ment. It Is certainly moro equitable.

Itevlow; I want to ondorso Citizen's views on tho moat market proposition which ho advanced in last week's paper, It I no more than right that our people should stay with tho peoplo who have helped t build up our town and aro greMly Interested In our city's welfare, I know that many patronize now markots without thinking (hat ovcry time tho new man Is given a lift tho ones who havo stood by them in sickness and health uro given knock. Our old butchers havo been very good extending credit when many of tholr patrons worn out of work or ill and they should not bo deserted now, Ono good turn do serves another, City pride alone should guide 0110 to patronize men who aro helping to build up St Johns nnd not turn their cash pat ronuge over to one who is substan tlally trying to toar It down by crowding others out of business or running tholr sales so low that thero is no money In it for them. Isn't It better to buy from a man whom you know sells good meat than to buy from ono who bas been arrested for soiling tainted moat? Isn't it safer for your family, and is it not safer for your I believe It you will look at this question aright you will stay with tho old established shops, where you know everything to be all right. As far as buying from trusts is concerned, ono is as good as another provided the meat I good, Because one man Is trying to tear down one trust to build up another is uo reason why ho shoulu have your patronage. Take the ques tion homo to yourselves, fellow citi zens, and stay with tho old markets. Subscriber, Notice to Contractors J. P. H13NDIUCKS, iVltoit Mayor, A. M, KSSON, Recorder.
