FOOLING THE OREGON FARMER.
It is worth noting that the opposi
tion to the single tax amendment
the constitution of Oregon is biasing
Its hopes of success on its ability
consolidate the farmers against the
proposal to exempt their houses, their
barns, their live stock, their drains
their orchards and other improve
ments from taxation. The big papers
of Oregon, representing the Big In-
tei'osts. the railroads, the real estate
speculators and the System In gener
al are doing their utmost to persuade
the agricultural population that the
pending amendment Is one aimed
the destruction of the farmer by plac-
ing all the burden of taxation on his
land.
Of course papers like the Portland
Oregonlan know perfectly well that
this representation is false. They
know that farmers do not own land
values. Farmers own land and some
times much of It, But as a rule they
own but little land value. Land values
are not found out ten or fifteen mile
in the country. They are not found
the country. They are not found
where hay and grain are grown an
where cattle, sheep and hogs are ral:
ed. They are found In the centers of
population and Industry. There are
single blocks of land in Portland whose
value today exceeds that of a whole
county In the remote agricultural sec
tions of the state.
The values which farmers possess
are largely and sometimes exclusive'
ly improvement values. And these un
dor the amendment to be voted on In
June under the referendum are mado
exempt from taxation. If the people
of Oregon adopt the amendment al
most every farmer In that state will
find his tax bill less when the next
time for paying taxes comes around
This fact can be demonstrated to any
intelligent man who will take the
trouble to go Into the question.
Oregon has a great chanc to dis
tinguish herBelf In this matter. Hers
Is an Intelligent and progressive pop
ulation. Her people are not hide
bound. They are not Indurated with
prejudice. They have been willing
to experiment a little in government
as they have experimented in busi
ness, in manufactures, in agriculture
and In general development. In all
theso things they have struck out
along new lines and Oregon in con
sequence has become an attractive
community, drawing from nil the res
of the states the alert and the enter
prising. Her growth In population
and wealth has been amazing. She
rnnks among the most progressive
and the most Intelligent of the newer
states of the union and her expert
ments In government are being watch
ed everywhere with deepening Inter
est.
She has already established the
people's rule. She has destroyed the
lobby. Sho has left the political boss
without a job. Sho hns restored to
the people tho power which was once
wielded for their undoing by the rings
and the political close corporations.
And, having freed her citizenship po
litically, she 1b now proposing to free
them economically. Sho Is proposing
to remove the burdens from Industry
and to lift tho oppressive load of tax
ation from the back of labor. Sho Is
proposing to free opportunity and to
strike down those speculative bar
riers which have so long interfered
with progress and expnnslon. By ex
empting all forms of labor products
from taxation she proposos to make
Oregon the moHt attractive slate in
the union and perhaps the most at
tractive community In tho world for
the toiler. By taking tho burdens
from her Industry sho proposes to
make Oregon above all other states
nn attractive field for the Investment
of capital In manufactures and In all
modes of production and exchange.
But landlordism Is on the alort. It
understands tho mennlng of tho pend
ing amendment. It realizes that If
tho amendment shall pass It will mark
tho end of getting without earning.
It will mean tho end of tribute-tak
ing through land monopoly from la
bor and capital. It will mean the end
of strikes and lockouts nnd hard
times. It will mean that those who
have been getting rich without work
ing must go to work If they would not
starve.
It remains to ho seen whether tho
speculator can scare tho farmer Into
the Idea that tho amendment Is aim
ed at the man at the plow rather than
at tho man engaged In tho vacant lot
Industry. If the farmers of Oregon
are as wise as those of New Zealand
th'M'e can bo no doubt of the result.
The Now Zealand agriculturists
were never for a moment fooled by
the cry that, the single tax the land
value tax would ruin them. They
saw through tho false pretense In
stantly. An It was tho New Zealand
farmer who was tho llrst to vote to
tax land values alone for local pur
poses. That the Oregon farmer will
lie less keenly nllvo to the situation
we are not prepared to believe. He
Is surely as intelligent as the New
Kealauder. He Is surely as capable

of analyzing a proposition which so
vitally affects him. He is surely open
to the truth when once It comes with
in range of his vision. And this truth
is so simple, so plain, so readily
grasped by any one who cares to
grasp It, that it will be strange If the
Oregon farmer shall permit the Big
Interests which control the big news
papers to deceive him and frighten
him into doing what they want him to
do. Ho can hardly imagine that they
are throwing fits unselfishly on his
account. They have never hesitated to
squeeze him when they got the chance.
They have robbed him in a hundred
ways. They have always regarded
him as their legitimate prey. Yet now
they appear as his guardian angel.
They are profoundly exercised lest he
should vote for a scheme of taxation
which they say will destroy him. If
he shall listen to them he will have to
believe that they are animated by no
other Impulse than that of saving him
at any sacrifice.
This is generous on their part, but
it ought not to fool anybody. They
are really thinking of themselves, not
of tho farmer. If only the farmer
were hurt, they wouldn't cheep. It Is
because they themselves, are likely
to be hurt that they are filling Oregon
with a wild whoop of alarm. It will
bo their fat In the fire if the amend
ment should be adopted. For the
amendment will kill land speculation,
it will free opportunity, it will en

it will raise wages, It will end labor
wars and It will do more to advance
the material interests of Oregon than

RURAL RESPONSIBILITY.
The love of liberty has Its birth, Its
growth and its highest development
in the agricultural sections of a coun
try. Here everything is conducive to
a brlad view of the questions of social
and political life, and the gaudy dis
play of riches and affluence is not ever
present to disturb the quiet tenor of
,t contented life. The population that
lives close to Nature, within the
hearing of the call of the wild birds,
in the midst of the fragrance of the
wild flowers, with abundance of fresh,
pure air is the population that stead
ies the Ship of State In turhulent
limes and from which recruits must
be drawn to rejuvenate the decaying
centers of papulation.
(Jo into tho manufacturing district
of a largo city. Beside shaded walls
there may be a little vegetation but
it will bo colorless and dwarfed. You
will meet factory employes coming
mil going. They will not walk erect
with light step nor will their cheeks
wear the rosy bloom of fresh health.
Uko tho vegetation beneath the shad
ed wall they are, for the most part,
pale and drooping. What better de
velopment can bo hoped for in an at
mosphere- luten w'lth the dust and
grim smoke of a thousand factories.
From where, unless from tho farms
and country places, is this declining
life to bo renewed?
With tho population that lives apart
from those- who crowd the thorough
fares of our largo cities rests tho re
sponsibility of preserving the rights
and liberties we enjoy above all oth-
r Nations. He who awakes to hear
tho factory whistle summon him to
his daily toll, and who awaits the same
signal to direct him to cease his la
bor at nightfall has little time for
bought or consideration of the great
questions that mako or mar the hap
piness of a people. There is a great
work to be performed and if it Is not
attended to by tho agricultural popu
lation it will be neglected. Tho agi-
itor and the domagoguo will thrive
when the country population declines
to carry tho big end of the burden of
conomlc nnd political reform. Sun-
hino and fresh air and a big blos
soming world all around create love
for liberty and personal rights; they
breathe tho spirit that makes a Na
tion big and brave and strong.
Bo sure of this; from the farm the
Country will call its best soldiers; Its
leaders of finance, its greatest states-

through the State, airried here a coup
le or three years, and this Board,
guardian of the people's interest, selz
ed upon him and appointed him to the
most desirable appointive office in the
State. He Is no way Identified with
the business Interests of the State;
ho has not been in any sense a factor
In its upbuilding or commercial, so
cial or political advancement, and all
in all, he Is merely a transient hotel
guest employed as a "drummer" for a
Portland wholesale house. His know
ledge of the fish business is limited
to the particular brands of canned sal
mon carried by the firm that employs
him. It is not probable that he ever
saw a fish hatchery or has an Intel
ligent idea of the difference between
a gill-net and a fish wheel. Yet his
fitness for the appointment was not a
matter for H. C. McAllister to deter
mine but this duty devolved upon the
Board of Fish Commissioners and we
note how efficiently they have dis
charged their duty. '
There were applicants for the po
sitlon whose whole live have been
identified with the State's progress,
Among these were men who from
years of study and practical expert
once have an intelligent understand
ing of fish culture and propagation,
The people are entitled to have one of
Oregon's greatest industries cared for
and protected by such a man. The
fact that the fish industry of the
Slate is almost ruined Is generally
charged to the last Fish Warden's ig
norance and incapacity. This was the
alleged reason for his removal. What
better result can be expected from
the new appointment?
The apparent conclusion is that the
Board of Fish Commissioners consid
ered this a good political move. If
it tended to promote their aspirations
for further political favor it evident
ly concerned them not in the least
whether or not the interests of the
State wore properly cared for. It con
corns those, however, who have at
heart the progress and upbuilding of
Oregon. It concerns the taxpayers
who foot the bills for carrying on the
State government. The members of
the Board may as well understand
that they have something to explain.
Almost every unprejudiced man who
has given this matter any thought be
lieves that the appointment was made
out of selfish and personal Interest
and to the great prejudice of one of
the Slate's greatest industries. The
move may not accomplish all that was
intended.

Wo are duly proud of Oregon and
now that Nature fitted her for the
Queen State of tho Union. We will
ave to admit however, that our sis-
State just to the North Is forging
ahead of us. This Is not because
he natural resources of Washington
xcel those of Oregon. On the cou
ntry Oregon resources, with equal
evelopment far exceed those of
Washington. But a glance at a map
the two States tells tho story.
Washington Is a network of railroads,
Oregon Is destitute of transpartathm
U'llltles.
With tho noxt tide of railroad con-
truction our State will move forward
leaps and bounds. Oregon will
come Into her own. In the end the
icality favored by nature will forge
) tho front. But the attitude of tho
ii'uple of a State toward such enter-
prizes has much to do with their
rowth. It Is not necessary that wo
urronder our Interests to tho greed
railroad manipulators. Wo may
ell accord them equal rights with in-
ostors In other enterprises and not
ook upon them as enemies of the
community, A community owes its
rowth ami prosperity to Its trnns-
rtatloil facilities.
State legislation in various states
as been so drastic or else so throat-
nlng ngalnst the railroads that their
ourltlcs have shrunk to a half or a
third their former value. This re
tards improvements nnd practically
forbids now construction. Capital be
fovo It. will seek Investment must
have confidence In the people. We
had hiMt take a broad view of this
qiieolion, letting it be fully understood
that tho wealthiest railroad corpora
tion may have absolutely fair treat
ment Willi no special privileges just
evrctly tho same measure of justice
that will be accorded the humblest
citizen. This railroad question Is a
big one with two sides to It, and it
is really tho duty of every citizen to
give It a great deal of careful consideration.
On his arrival in Portland last
week, Senator Fulton was asked by a
reporter for the Evening Telegram as
to how he stood on Statement No. 1.
Fulton answered, "I am neither for
nor against it." Here Is a man who
counts himself big enough for United
States Senator, who is a candidate
for that office, and yet side-steps this
paramount issue right before the vot
ers of Oregon. Sustaining statement
No. 1 means the preservation of the
peoplo's power to elect a United
States Senator for Oregon. Senator
Fallon is neither for nor against it-
he merely perches astride the fence.
You may search Clackamas county
from the foot-hills to the Willamette
Itiver and will scarcely find a farm
er who has not an Intelligent opin
ion on this question, and' you will find
very few who haven't backbone enough
to stand up and express their opinion
You might find one, though we doubt
it, who would weakly say, "I am neith
er for nor against it."
But nil know where the Senator
really stands. Did he wish the peo
ple to retain their new privilege n"e
would stand up like a man and say
so. His opposition to the new method
of electing Senators Is very well
known and he would be more respect
ed were he to come out in the open
and take his stand with those who are
endeavoring to throw the Senatorial
election back into tho Legislature,
1 he Senator will certainly learn a
tiling or two, that they believe them
solves just as capable of electing a
Senator as a Governor or Congress
man and that they can get along with
out. the public service of a man who
doesn t think they should be accorded
that privilege.

PE RU NA IN OUR HOME
WORKING WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.
"But If, both for their own sakes
and for the good of the republic, wo
men of property and women of educa
tion should be enfranchised," writes
Jane Addams in the April Woman's
Companion, "far more is the power
of the ballot needed by the working
woman, whose stake In the country
is represented by her life, her health,
her virtue, and the safety and happi
ness of her children. The ballot Is
not demanded for her because she is
good or wise, or because she will
make mistakes in its use. Neither
goodness nor wisdom is the sole pos
session of one class and freedom from
mistakes is the privilege of none.
Working women need the ballot be
cause they must possess some con
trol over the conditions of their lives
and those of their children; and, in
this twentieth-centrury world, the bal
lot box offers the only channel through
which they can give expression to
such legitimate control."
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The indictment against Hon. Geo.
C. Brownell, which Heney has had
hanging over him for nearly three
years, has been dismissed on the mo
tion of U. S. District Attorney John
McCourt, on instructions from Wash
ington. It was a malicious prosecu
tion, originated by paid detectives
and attorneys who were working the
government for big pay or "graft" to
go into their own pockets and for pop
ularity as "prosecutors." For this
and a good many other similar cases,
where there Is nothing criminal in
volved, there ought to be some way
of punishing these highly paid spies
and professional caluminators for ma
licious prosecution. Oregon State

housewife who has used it in her home for years, or prejudice
sensational writers who have never used Pe-ru-na in i
lives? It will not take any fair-minded reader a minute to
decide which is the best evidence. The mothers of the United

The State Board of Fish Commis

urer, have again demonstrated the

By a very decided majority, the low
er house of Congress has passed a bill
suppressing gambling in the District
of Columbia. Tho bill was aimed di
rectly at race-horse gambling and
passed on the day of tho opening of
the races at Bennings in the District
of Columbia. If the bill shall receive
the approval of the Senate during this
week, it Is expected that gambling in
and about Washington will be finally
suppressed. Representative Sims of
Tennessee was the member who pre
sented the bill and by rare skill and
against considerable opposition, hur
ried It through tho House and was so
successful that on the first day of the
spring meeting at the Bennings race
track, a death blow was given to book
making. A bill has been presented by Mr.
Hepburn of Iowa, which Is an effort
to overcome the objections of both
capital nnd labor to the Sherman Anti-Trust
Law. It was introduced into
the House on Monday, the 2l!d. The
bill has been prepared by a committee
of the National Civic Federation af
ter ninny conferences with the Presi
dent and with (iompers and other rep
resentatives of labor. It was referred
to the Judiciary Committee. It Is not
known whether the bill will meet with
success or failure In the House. Party
lenders appear to be wholly Ignorant
of the details of the bill and profess
only a vague understanding f its
purpose. Perhaps the most Import
ant section of the bill Is that which
seeks to relievo organized labor from
certain effects to recent Supreme
Court decisions declaring labor unions
to be conspiracies In restraint of trade
and therefore unlawful. The bill, it
may be said, aims to restore to unions
their right to peaceful action, includ
ing the right to strike, but leaves
them still under tho penalties of the
Sherman Act in the matter of boy
codes, picketing and similar unlaw
ful practices. The section on this
subject is as follows:
"Nothing in said act approved July
2, 1S!)0, or in this act is intended, nor
shall any provision thereof hereafter
be enforced, so as to interfere with
or to restrict any right of employes
to strike for any cause or to com-
ouio or to comriioi wua eacn omor or
with employers, for the purpose of
peaceably obtaining from employers
saiisiuoiory terms tor tneir labor or
satisfactory conditions of employment,
or so as to interfere with or to re
strict any right of employers for any
cause to discharge all or any of their
employes, or to combine, or to con
tract with each other or with em
ployes, for the purpose of peacefully
obtaining labor on satisfactory
terms."

Los Angeles papers are making a
very reasonable fight on cyclists who
evade the lamp and bell ordinance.
The time Is opportune, as the city re
cently adopted a traffic ordinance,
which is about to be recalled for some
amendment tinkering. The Los An
geles Examiner calls attention to the
greatly increased number of bicycles
now in daily use, and nightly use, and
says that regulation has become im
perative. The paper says that with
out lamps and bells, bicycles are the
most annoying if not the most dan
gerous vehicles on the street.
There are politicians in Washing
ton who predict that the battle of 1908
will be a tariff fight in spite of efforts
to suppress it. There is a chance
that minor issues will be forced into
the back ground and that the Demo
cratic party will summon all colors
and shades of Democrats to rally to
the tariff Issue. It is well understood
that tariff revision is going to be a
mighty tough job the toughest with
out doubt, that the Republican party
ever undertook and it will be mirac
ulous If It does not turn out more of
a log-rolling than a revision. Every
special Interest will be on hand de
manding a riveting and strengthening
of nil the monopolies it now enjoys.
This Is what tariff revision by its
friends means.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced, to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves tnat
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder oi
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
dutv.
if vou are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as vour kidneys are well they will help
all'the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take' by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild nnd the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar sue
bottles. You may

writes: "When I wrote to yon
for advice, my health was a

and thought I would die,
as there seemed to be no help
for me. But I followed your

Catarrh of Worst Form.
Mrs. Amanda Long, 7237 Seeley

'I believe that I am cured of catarrh
of the worst form and of long standing.
"Iwaa almost a total wreck, I tried
almost everything and doctored with a
number of doctors, but they did me no
good.
"I tried Peruna as a last resort, and by
the time 1 had taken one bottle X oonld
gee that it was helping me, and bo I con
tinned taking It. I can say now that I
have not felt the slightest symptoms for
three months, and I think there is
nothing like Peruna. 1 still keep it In
the house, and think there Is no medi
cine like it. 1 cannot praise it too highly,
and bless the day that I learned of it."
Mrs. Jndge J. F. Boyer, 1421 Sherman

down, and she thanks Peruna for new
life and strength.
Pe-ru-na Tablets.
Tor two years Dr. Eartman and his
assistants have incessantly labored to
create Peruna in tablet form, and their
strenuous labors have just been crowned
with success. People who object to
liquid medicines can now secure Pernna
tablets. Each tablet is equivalent to one
average dose of Peruna.
Sore Throat for Years.
Mrs. C. Dnshel, 3S4 Irving Avenue, Chicago, 111., Curator
Nutural History Society, writes:
"I am glad to be able to recommend rerunn for chronic sore
throat. I had boen troubled with sore throat for years, but
could find nothing to help me. I had an awful
gagging in tho morning and was subject to
dizzy spells. I could not draw a free breath
id life had no pleasure for mo. My
throat was dry and parched.
''I supposed I was dot n.d tofpond
tho rest of my days in this con
dition, when I hoard what good
Peruna had been to otheri, so I
tried a bottle of it. After using
it I was much better and six
bottles of it cured me.
"I cannot say too much for
Peruna, and I hope that somo
poor sufferer like my
self will see this and
give it a trial."
Acute Indigestion.
Mr. John C. Russell, 810 County
Street, Portsmouth, Ya., writes
regarding his wife's case as fol
lows :
"I thought it would be doing
but justice to your great medicine
to tell you what ib'has done for
my wifo.
"Two years ago the doctor called
at our house, on an average, three
times a week, in attendance upon
my wife, who was suffering from
acute indigestion. Her suffering
was so great that nothing but
morphine would give her relief.
"While on a visit to some friends
in Norfolk she had an attack and I pre
pared to go for
the doctor, when
our friend proposed
Peruna. I gave her
a dose, repeating it
in a half hour, and her pains passed
away. Since that time my wife has
gained thirty pounds.
"We are never out of Peruna. When the

mamma's Peruna. I find it has cut my
doctor bills down to almost nothing."

"I have been afflicted with catarrh

"One Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin."
When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature Is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex
ceptionally good he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch fo nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use
it and obtain relief. Behind every
one of these letters is a warm hearted
wish of the writer to be of use to
some one else. This remedy is for
sale by Huntley Bros., Oregon City,
and Molalla. j
