peon and I do to. The peon is
just a human animal, practically
a slave, does tho dirty work, is
dirty and seems to be pretty thor
oughly satisfied with life' as ho
finds it.
And stubbing around this won
R 0 GRAND
derful old town I ran onto a sight,
very familiar to American eyes,
but which seen among these sur
roundings was almost as strange
as the solid wneeiea cans.
What? A tynical American
jockey, dressed in his butterfly
colors just as you seo them at
the race tracks. Ana no seemed as
much suprised to see me as I was
him.
You bet we shook hands. When
you run on to an American down
in those way-uacK towns you loei
as if von wanted to kiss him.
And then he told me what he
and his two friends were down
there for. They were there to skin
the Greasers. They had a runner,
an old "ringer" with a record.
They "fixed" a Mexican to come
ahead and tell the people the
horse was a "freak" and would
not start if there was any noise or
excitement that the horse had
been taken off the circuit because
of this peculiarity, and all the
Mexicans would have to do to get
the Gringo's money would be to
start a racket wnen mo norses
started. The , horse was a noted
circuit nag and used to all kinds
of racket. The three sports had
taken him from New Orleans. to
make some easy money in the in
land Mexican towns.
Tho race was two days away
yet, but the jocky had on his uni
form for advertising purposes.
Tho Americans had boon in the
town a week getting things ready
for the balloon ascension. There
were a dozen runners brought in
and a Mexican is sport enough to
bet his head off on a rooster light
or "sure thing horse race, iho
Americans begged ind pleaded
with mo to stay and seo the llnisli,
but not for me. A man on tho
square is not any too sal'o back in
those towns, and I didn't propose
to be taken as one of the buncos
when things broke. I never learn
ed how things came out, but those
fellows certainly had sand.
I saw a little girl setting by the
path lulling threads on drawn
work, I asked her what she asked
for the half finished work. She
did not answer, but ran away. In
a few minutes she returned with
her mother who had several lln
ished pieces. She wanted to sell
but we needed a middle man to
handle the deal. I picked out a
piece of the linen and took out a
handful of silver. She took a dol
lar. Afterward I learned that tho
drawn work was a handsome and
rare specimen.
The. inland Mexicans just live
Their houses are "dobiea gen
erally one room and in some mere
is absolutely nothing in the way
of furnishings just a roll of
blankets in the corner and a few
udo cooking dishes, a sack of
beans and a little piece of bacon,
these people will live for weeks,
and I want to tell you I never saw
or heard of a sick Mexican.
The girls are really handsome,
after you have seen them for a
few days. They dress fanlistic
ally if they can gel a few yards of
calico. Thoy love gay colors, and
a bunch of them niako a sinking
picture. Thoy aro very modest,
never dirt and it is said make
plondid wives to Mexicans.
Many an American has married
Mexican girls, but they are rarely
happy marriages anu invariably
end in separation. It is said
these girls simply cannot chango.
They aro the Indian. An Ameri
can cannot live as tho girls have
been reared so they desert them.
Try getting flirty with these
Mexican girls and you won't live
long in these towns back from the
railroads.
The Mexican girls mako abso
lutely loyal and truo wives, but
thoy aro flrey jealous, and if a
husband, especially a white man,
gets gay with any other olive-
taeod damsel, ho II got a knife
blade in his vitals Iho first night
the moon isn't, working.
Mexico is so lull of old-time
witchery. It is a country of to
morrow, a country ot atiundont
lime, of old wayside shrines, obi
customs, bloody histoiy, simple
people why you can't conceive it
you must see il, feel it, know it.
I hey live in the past. Change and
progress enme, but thoy do not
change. Thoy live as in tho day
of Monlezumus, and they don't
want to live any other way.
It's a weird old country nnd
there is a restful witchery that
gets into your veins and asks you
lo stay, it s the country of Mon
Yanna."
Some day tako a run down nnd
see your neighbor across tho Rio
Grande. They almost touch el
bows with you, yet you know loss
of them nnd their country than
you do of China.
And hurry, before this country
assimilates it. and spoils it, for it
sure will.

A FARMER WRITES
M S. U'REII
TELLS HIM HOW THE FARMERS
WILL SUPPRT HIM.
Mr. Kleinhofer Outlines a Plat
form Which will Win.
Editor Courier:
Now that election is over, tho
results known and all have gone
to rest, I had hoped that all
would be quiet, but noticed in the
Courier that there is one man who
thinks tho battle for him, is just
begun.
It is the chief advocate of tho
now dead and buried single tax
proposition.
Wo will admit that Mr. W. S.
U'Ren has done a great deal for
the people and fully appreciate
his efforts in our behalf. He is
largely responsible for many of
tho good laws that we have in
Oregon, but dare say that never
before did he have a struggle such
as he passed through this recent
campaign. The vast sums of mon
ey wore of no avail and if they had
been doubled the results would
have been tho same. The time is
fast coming when politicians
must, learn that tho farmer is the
big class to be reckoned with, and
that any measure that he does not
want will bo defeated. You can not
pound it into him with money any
more than you can make a rock
swim.
Look at all those laws for
which Oregon is famous, look how
easy it was to get them through
and with what enormous major
ities they were adopted, in spue

of the thundering elements
against them. All it requires is a
measure of good sound, practical
common sense nnd reason. But if
a measure is thrust upon us, such
as single tax was, it is no won
der that il is buried with an av
alanche of No's, out of which it
can never hope to bo resurecled.
I seo in tho Courier W. S.
U'Ren's announcement for the
candidacy for Governor. Now I
always was a good friend of Mr.
U'Ren and it is my opinion that
he will make a strong man for
that otllce but if he attempts to
ride tho fanners with singlo tax
measure similar to the ono just
defeated ho might just as well
lake a back seat.
Now I would just like to make a
few suggestions to Mr. U'Ren and
express my sentiments in regard
to this taxation problem.
Wo have now 2 years before
us to take notice how the tax re
form adopted, as you suggested
by the state tax commission, will
nan out. Furthermore, Mr. Sehue
lel promised to work for some
very good tax measures in the
legislature, and if successful, mav
better condition.) considerably. If
however, they still Drove lo be in.
adequate to meet the exist innr
conditions and that it is Mr.
U'Ren's opinion that a further
lax measure is necessarv, and if
lie thinks that the remedy is
along the lines he so strongly ad
vocated in tho past, and if he
hones to have nnv sneck of n
chance to succeed, I would sug
gest some modificationos to his
graduated single tax measure, as
was before us in the last election
The first and most important
part to leave out entirely, is the
clause which provides for the ex
emption of personal property and
in its stead insert a provision
which will give to each taxpayer
an exemption of $300 worth of
personal property. This conies
much nearer to helping the small
farmer and laborer. And in order
to mako the graduated assess
ment feature of the bill any ways
near fair, you will have to make
the provision which reads that,
"upon every person owning land
and natural resources and in
terests therein within the county
the total assessed value of which
is greater than $10,000., etc,"
read something like this, "Upon
every person owning property and
interests therein within the coun.
ty, the- total assessed value of
which is greater than $10,000.,
etc.
If Mr. U'Ren will make these
changes he will not have to spend
nearly $50,000 in trying to make
people believe it is a good meas
ure for them and need not. feel
anxious about the outcome. We
farmers fully appreciate any ef
fort that men who have the edu
cation and ability, as well as time,
to draft measures for the benefit
and wellfare of Iho common peo
ple, as long as they will be also
reasonabally fair for the money
interests. But we absolutely insist
that they are simple, common
sense, written in a plain, common
way and without all kinds of
friz frazzle written in an effort to
confuse the people. I have voted
no on a couple of measures for
the simple reason that it is almost
impossible for the time the farm
er has at his disposal, to thor
oughly acquaint himself with ev
ery detail of the lengthy docu
ment. Be good to us farmers, Mr.
U'Ren, if you wish to be our next
governor.
