Higher Taxation Tlic heavy increase in taxation in Clackamas county, and elsewhere, is due not only to increased cost of materials of all kinds and the advances in salaries, which are certainly no greater than they ought to be, but to the general disposition for progresaiveness. We are being tutored to demand better roads, better schools, und general betterment of public affairs, all of which cost 'money. The care of our poor, widows' pensions and similar items combine to swell the total expendi tures. The legiwlaturc has been liberal, too and the hi ate tax for Clackamas county amounts to nearly $1 50 000. t While the county court determines, the tax rate, that body has very little latitude in its budget of ex penditures. There arc certain heavy items of expense fixed by law .from which the county court cannot get away. All of the salaries of county officials are fixed by law, as is the amount which the court rm?' levy for schools. The ren' r;,l f umvntr ,xix:nsea ot Clackamas county, aside from its roads, schools and state tax, is less than $100,000 per annum or less than one-sixth of the total amount of taxes. With the prices of every thing we eat and wear up in the clouds, it is not reason able to expect taxes to be as low as in former years. Residents of incorporated towns, such as Oregon City and West Linn, will pay about 5 per cent on the assessed valuation of their property, or $50 per thousand dol lars valuation. This is a stiff tax rate, but the average taxpayer will make a wry face and pass the increase, wherever possible, on to the consumer.

Out of accumulated capi tal have arisen all the successes of industry and applied science, all the com forts and ameliorations of the common lot. Upon it the world must depend for the process of reconstruc tion in which all have to share. JAMES J. HILL rpiIE successful farmer raises bigger crops and cuts down costs by investment in labor-saving machinery. Good prices for the fanner's cnyr, en courage new investment, hore production and greater prosperity. liut the suijceb of agriculture depends on the growth f railroads - the modern beasts of burden that haul the crops to the world's markets. The railroads -like farms-increase their output and cut down unit costs by the constant investment of new capital. With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capi tal for expanding their facilities. Rates high enough toyield a fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion which invariably . results in poorer service at higher cost. Natidnal wealth can increase only a.-. , our railroads grow. Poor railroad service is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price' of inadequate transportation facilities. ifiib adwiitiement A publhlied hyilie " XmdaUofiof8hikiKui c$xecutive& TKoh dentrinii Wornwtion eourcrnln tht railroad Kuotion mny otitnin tilf .oliiro ); -Wtin to The AiitnH ation of h'ailmty Kteeulivets SI ilrowlimy, New York The directors of the Stuart Punc ture Proof Tire and Rehner company held a meeting on Saturday night at which time it was decided to locate the business of the company in the planing ni .11 portion of the old saw mill at C.rcen Point The directors lw.dt arrangements to begia work with a few of men on Monday morning remodelling the building to suit the needs of the com pany.

E WHILE FLYING HERE During the flight or me nrst hyd roplnne in Oregon City Wednesday afternoon, birds of various descrip tions. Including pigeons and smaller birds, camo from all directions and "made for" the plane. Whether they thought it a huge bird and were ready to attack it or an enemy hydroplane was a puzzle to the interested bystanders, who were watching the flying machine. One of the pigeons was struck by the hydroplane and falling at the foot of T. H. Smith, who recently ar rived here from Calgary, Canada, who picked thii pigeon from the ground, and udoavored to bring it to life, but found it had been instantly killed by the plane.

FIRE MARSHALL REPORT ON 1ST 11 IS W illiam Soules, a well known news paper man of Portland, and who rep resented a Portland publication in this city a number of years ago, was in Oregon City on, business Thursday. Mr. Soules is now connected with the Portland Journal, and while here vis ited among his old time friends. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Har ry Soules, former pioneers ot this city, the family residing in one of the finest homes in Oregon City in their day. This was what is known as the Abernethy home, erected on a site at the mouth of Abernethy Creek, and where William Soules was born, and he has the honor of being the first white child born in that place. While in Oregon City Mr. Soule related a number of interesting rem iniscences that occurred while be was taking up his newspaper work in Oregon City. Among these was at the time he came here to fill the vacancy caused by the illness of a reporter on a Portland paper, who had charge of the Oregon City department. Mr. Soul es covering the territory in this city as well as in Vancouver, keeping him "'going some" to cover both cities for the same paper in the evening edition. A resident had been critically ill for several weeks, and the young man, whose position Soules was to take, had secured data covering the man's life, and in order not to have a local paper "scoop" him on the story when the man passed away, had held these valuable notes and was ready to send to the Portland paper the account of the death. It was but a few days after the ar rival of Soules in this city, when Holman's "dead" wagon appeared on the street Soules and the reporter whose place he was to take, hastened after It, until it turned into on6 of the side streets and stopped near the place where the sick mnn resided. They were convinced that the man had died, so they "shot" in their story of the man's death, and after the Portland paper had come off the press and was distributed through this city, they found the sick man had not died, but a man in the adjoining house had committed suicide. -The "reporters missed the suicide and had a man die when he was still alive, and remained alive for four days after, when the story had to be reprinted. Since that time, when se curing a story. Soules has thoroughly Investigated for himself and found out the facts before sending in his story, Mr." Soules has been in the newspa per game tor many years and finds it most fascinating. The result of the recent fire survey of West Linn has been made , known by the office of the State Fire Marsh al at Salem. The report of the inves tigators shows the typographical con dition of the city. The Report concludes with a number of pertinent recommendation looking toward the elimination of the tire hazard as far as possible. Among these should be mentioned an ordinance requiring that all elec trical wiring installations both new and repair work be inspected and re quired to conform to the National Board of Underwriters requirements. Second, an ordinance requiring all gapollne to be kept in small quanti ties of less than five gallon in air tight metal cans and amounts" over five gallons to be buried at least four feet underground. Third, an ordinance requiring that any accumulation of inflammable rubbish In and around buildings be kept in metal cans with metal covers. Fourth, an ordinance requiring that all chimneys be constructed ot brick from the ground up. Fifth, an ordinance requiring all chimneys be cleaned at least once a year by a chimney sweep authorized by the town authorities. It is further recommended that the charter of the city be amended so that the chief of police shall be ap pointed instead ot elected by the people as is now the case. Also that he fire chief be paid a salary suf ficient to permit him to make at least a serai annual inspecton ot all busi ness and public buildings within the town limits. It is also recommended that the school board for the safety of the pupils install in the high school now being constructed approved sprinkl er equipment.
