The Oregon Voter, a neat nnd
highly interesting magazine, ed
ited by C. C. Chapman, the well
known publicity man of Port
land, has made its appearance.
It is brimful of matter of an in
structive and educational nature
and digs right down to the root
of affairs that are of vital inter
est to the voters generally. Mr.
Chapman, perhaps better than
any other man, knows the needs
and requirements of the county
and state, and it is safe to pre
dict that the Oregon Voter will
prove an important factor in
public aiTairs and a thing to bo
desired by every voter in the
state.
The sinking of the Lusitania
is an appalling disaster that is
universally deplored, and is an
other manifestation that Sher
man's definition of war was not
incorrect. '1 hat innocent wom
en and children should thus sud
denly bo ushered into the world
beyond makes it all the more pit
iable. Somehow in warfaro it
is ever the case that the inno
cent sufTcr with the combatants
in one way or another. Had the
GermanB known that so many
lives would bo lost through the
catastrophe, we are loath to be
lieve that tno extreme mcusuro
would havo been taken. But it
was supposed that the vessel
would withstand the shock of
several torpedoes before it would
go down, and tho Germans prob
ably imagined that tho passen
gers would havo plenty of time
to mako their escape beforo tho
huge ship sank into tho water.
In whatever light the great dis
aster may bo viewed, it must be
regarded as a matter of the pro
roundest regret.
The payment of taxes should
bo made quarterly or at least
semi-annually, it would seem.
To pay out tax money nil at one
tlmo has a tendency to cause and
docs cause n stringency in tho
coin of tho rcnlm for somo davs
afterwnrd. Tho taxes paid year,
ly by tho property owners of St.
Johns total almost $100,000. To
tako this sum, or tho greater
part of it out of tho city in March
and April is no small thing to do.
And if it not paid when due, an
excessive and most exorbitant
rato of interest is charged
greater in fnct than even a loan
shark would have tho nerve to
exact. It is difficult for many
to understand how in a stnte
whoro the luwful rato of interest
is eight per cent that counties
therein can collect n greater per
cent. Tho money that is collect
ed for taxes is taken from tho
proporty ownors in ,tho spring
and is placed in tho bunks, where
it is of littlo uso until called
for. Thus the people are de
prived of tho uso of the money
long beforo the county has need
of it, but if they do not pay it
thoy nro fined, and fined out
rageously. Surely tho system is
at fault and should bo speedily
changed to something less Bcnse
less and moro reasonnblo.

HECK ON OUR
RECEIPT
How many times have you lost a receipt? How
many times, neither debtor or creditor could remember.
If your wife pays all her bills with CHECKS, she has a
RECEIPT for every one of her bills. It saves a lot of
time and trouble for your wife to pay the household
bills that way and we are helping her to keep her ac
counts straight and to ECONOMIZE.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK, ST. JOHNS, OREGON
To Our Patrons and Friends:
I
At the last session of the State
Legislature, a law was enacted, impos
ing a tax on all Merchants giving Trad
ing Stamps and other gift premiums,
which makes it absolutely prohibitive
for us to continue giving them.
This law goes into effect May 2415.
There will no doubt be a long legal
fight in the Courts, testing the consti
tutionality of this law and we do not
feel justified in trying to evade the law,
nor do we care to take the chance,
while this suit is pending.
Therefore when our present supply of Stamps is ex
hausted, we will discontinue giving them.
In tne meantime we will endeavor to make our
prices so attractive that our Patrons will lose nothing by
reason of this change.
Thanking you for past favors, and soliciting your
further patronage, we are
Yours very truly

Western Cooperago Compnny is

tho project of dredging tho Co- nrutions. Wo shall not get rid
lumbia Slough, has gotten tho
United States government, thru
Oregon's representatives, inter
ested to such extent that it has
made provisions for its engineers
to make tho survey and secure
estimates 0 tho cost. When
this is completed it is tho inten
tion of the East Sido club to ar
range for having tho work com-
Eletcd at as early date as possi
le. This in itself would prove
ono of tho greatest boons that
could happen to tho lower penin
sula, as it would open up for
maritime traffic a vast stretch of
navigable water, and afford
a harbor unexcelled. Besides the
projects mentioned there is con
siderable street work under way,
and an encouraging amount of
building and repair work going
on throughout the city. Certain
it is that no city in tho North
west has a brighter and moro
promising outlook than St. Johns,
and when peace comes to Europe
