aaaartlng that ba had been driven from
bla rtRhtul property by violence uud
that tha alruntlon waa aueu that, with
year, it had to be divided by five-sixths. Many a taxpayer found that hit
arithmetic had gone bad under thi scholastic test. The profanity expended
was infinite.
One taxpayer known to the writer, being in doubt as to what exemption
he might claim, left the exemption line in the return blank, thinking that the
internal revenue officials would fill it out for him, but they failed to do so
So he had to pay the tax. on his whole income without exemption, then go
through the red tape of filing sworn petition for refund, with corrected re
turns, and the repayment has not yet been made.
Last year some newspapers conducted columns of questions and an
swers on the income tax. Learned authorities offered answers surrounded
by much legal verbiage, over which the perplexed taxpayer puzzled his head
as best he might.
Last year's law was put through in haste, but this year the blank return
is in much better shape, and seems clear enough in ordinary cases. Space is
left for the wife's return after each item, so that one blank can cover the in
come of both husband and wife.
WTiile many income taxpayers are not reconciled to this tax, and argue
that it is unfair, this is a country where it pays to submit good naturedly to
the will of the majority. The average man cannot get much excited about
the sufferings of his neighbor on a $10,000 income, who is taxed $60 under
the law.

thought
j LCKAMAS COUNTY this year will spend almost $300,000 with
11 no supervision to speak of.
The county will build many miles of roads with no one in charg
of the work who is an adequate superintendent. County Judge Anderson,
honest and capable but overworked already with other county business, pro
bate and juvenile .work, cannot handle all the details of road construction
with the dispatch and accuracy the work demands. He savs he will tall to
his aid Commissioners Mattoon and Knight, neither of them road men.
Again, as in years past, much of the money raised by the taxpayers will
be sunk in roads of mud and dust. Again, through lack of proper and expert
supervision, a year will pass with little improvement in the county's roads.
Men, with no expert knowledge of road work, will direct the expenditure of
$300,000.
And the people wonder why the taxes are high; they wonder why they
raise great sums of-money for roads and each year see no improvement.
They wonder what becomes of the quarter of a million raised annually here
for the last five years and why the roads are still clogged with dust in the
summer and hub-deep with mud in the winter.

Ihere would be serious trouble and

These picas availed only pnrtiully.
Tbe sheriff made a trip Into the mine,
talked wltb John Dorr und Tom Kane
and then sought out Wilkerson.
"It looks to me as If this was a case

be bad examined Wllkersoo's forged
deeds. "I knew old Gallon pretty well,
and be thought a sight of that Itutb
girl. Fact Is, be told me be Intended

iu bis will. Now yon toddle along
wltb these papers and want to take It
away from her."
"Gallon and I were partners years
ago." Wilkerson Insisted. "We located
Jhls mine together, and wben 1 came
back he gave ma over my ahare."
the girl Is here, and that puts fighting
out of tha quextlon. I'ntess they atari
It," be added cautiously,
"Wllkeraon la bound lo nuike some
kind of a move mighty soon." said
Dorr. "He run t satisfy those follow
of bla for long
Yet when Wllkeraon appeared at the
entrance to the enmp one morning
wltb n motley train of followers IHirr
was at n loss to know whnt to do
Wilkerson was nppnrently peaceful
and expected a K-nreful rvepptlon.
His boldness liml almost carried him
through when the Ignornnce mid cu
pidity of one of Vlgaa' men gave John
and Kane the surely wished for oH'U
ng.
Tbe Mexican peered Into the win
dow of one of the cnblns and snw a
gold wutcb ou the table. Instantly he
broke the glass with tbe butt of his
carbine and reached In for bis booty.
Dorr and Kane had warned the mi
ners at tha first nppenrnnce of Wilker
son that there inlht be trouble brew
ing, but that the first blow must come
from the other side.
"Boys." wild the old cook, "you
know the sheriff. He's listened to
both sides, inn) he don't rightly kuow
which Is the one to take. Hut one
thing Is certain-he's got to keep order
and protect hiiimiu life and our prop
erty. If those fellows make n wrong
more we're gut the sheriff on our side.
See?"
They had seen the point, with many
muttciings. They had quietly' prepar
ed themselves for Just the occasion
which the Mvxlean's act now gare. Aa
the bandit pulled bla arm back wltb
tbe watch In his hand a revolver crack
ed, and tbe arm fell shattered to bis
side. And ns Wilkerson glanced fu
riously about him be saw the camp
ready. lie cursed tbe maddened Mexi
can and grasped Vlgaa by the arm.
"Stop your men!" be Implored.
"Don't let them (Ire a shot or we are
lost!"
It was too Intc. Passions long re- j
strained now broko out, and within a 1
minute a battle was raging between
the walls of the gulcb.
The miners hud the advantage. Tbey
fought from the shelter of tbelr own
cabins, and they were united by a
common purpose. Tbelr attackers
were scattered, were divided between
lust for loot and thirst for blood and
bad no sure refuge nor rendezvous.
Yet they would eventually have made
the camp nntennble bad not the
thoughtful sheriff prepared a surprise
for both parties.

every resource at bis disposal to meet

sion undisturbed. That would bo Im
possible until Wilkerson was ellinlnut
ed. And that man was after great
stultcs; otherwise be would ucver buve
ventured so fur.
As he debuted this Inwardly Jobu
went over In memory all the events of
tba brief period since old Thumus Oul
