How to alter mid improve thin condition avium a mewl difllcult problom. The most feasible, and practical an well, m.nnncr in which it could lie done would lie to puss a law requiriiiK every propurty owner to place Inn own vuluo upon Ihh property, which valuation riiunt be made each year, and under penalty oi a heavy fine thu owner could not dispose of the property at a price in uxcchm of that placet upon it by the owner when the valuation wax given to the an sossor. ur, nutter still, u an excess price be secured, the ex cess aiiouid i,ro into me city or county funds. All UMtfutiamunlR for laxos should be bailed on the valuation turned in by the own ers, and all property should be taxed at its full valuation. This would make the mill rate lower, and the taxes no greater to tin propurty owner whose property is now assessed at HO per cent of its run! va nation. IT neon could not sell their property at a irruatur price than than auMessed at, tho high price of water front age, or any other high iince property would be solved, am the small properly owner, who is taxed out of proportion to tlx largo propurty owners, would largely benefit. Under such a law the prices paid for land would not be kept secret, am siieli n ininir as a nei'son iiiivintr more for laud than it is worth would in all probability not oc cur, necauKo ine party selling could not nenellt ny overcharge It might be argued that under such a law those who did not desire to sell properly might place valuations at a ridiculous ly low nguroM, nut tins could in overcome by compelling all to pay taxes on a valuation not lower than the propurty cost, or is assessed at at present twin No man is entitled to more lam than he is willing to pay taes on, nor to ask more money there- tor than lie is willing to pay taxes on. Under such a law the stranger would have no fear of being "stung" in buying real astute, nor would municipalities in ouying lami ior puoiic pur- poses, t he Keview would wel come communications on this subject, because it is of vital im port, and the present situation .......I I... ..II... .!..(.,.

He dares nil and huh. dry to put him to the test, i iiih is wnai l oner." lie says in effect. "Can you beat it? flllll vnn iln hull ii iiltiimlwi.i'' Wt J t.w IIV I H II ,V I V . I I . . I miiku comparisons ami iiiun do business with me only if you llnd it is to your advantage." There is nothing bidden about the advertiser, lie stands up for himself, for his goods, for his reputation, for his town, lie want everybody to know him, to know bis methods of business and bin manner of treating cus tomurs. This makes it safe to do business with bint. Having spent much money making his name known, he cannot nll'ord to have it tarnished, and he will go much more than half way in an uliort to correct a inisunderstand ng that is not of bis making, He wants to tell more than the bare truth, to do more than what is really square. l)td with th advortisors for a square deal, t St. Johns has again shown that she is progressive. By de- CHliujr in lavorot iroe text books this city has taken a long stride lorward, and set the pace fur other Westorn cities to fo low There may bo some demur on tho part of parties having no child ren, hut they would have as much reason to rebel against too wnoie school syloiu as against the purchase of necessary school equipment of which text books play the most important part. It is a sign of progress, and it is just. The district is not to blame because some famine do not have children, ' UllllllMilllllllilllllllllllliMiMMBAd BBSS THATS ARITHMETIC csMn .

OREGON The Best Light At The Lowest Cost ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes, oflices, shops and other places needing light. Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place, thus affording any desired distribution or light. No other lamps possess these qualifications, there fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly replacing all others in modern establishments.
