10 THE MOKMJSU OliiMJuilAJN, AiOl.JLi', ja.uAiv1' Is), lloo. ACCORDING TO SIZE Graded Tax Proposed for Corporations. BILL WILL SOON BE INTROD UCE Measure Indorsed by Taxpayer' Lcukqc ProiioKCR TJiat Companies Shall Pay Fees Based on Am ount of Their Capital Stock. The corporation tax till -which "will be Introduced Into tho Legislature by the Hon. B. L. Eddy provides that: An organization tax ot one-tenth of 1 per cent upon the first $100,000 of capital stock" or fraction thereof bo levied upon corporations doing business In Oregon. One-half that rate upon capital stock above f 100.000. In no case must the tax be less than $23. Benev olent and religious corporations are taxed $5. Corporations must furnish the Secretary of State each year with account, giving amount of stock, num ber cf shares, amount of capital stock Issued and paid up, etc. Corporations, except insurance com panies, must pay a license tax of $10 to $00 per year, according to the amount of stock. Corporations refusing to furnish state ments are liable to a fine of $100. Foreign, corporations, except Insur ance companies, doing business in this state, roust render a similar account and pay a license tax of $50. All corporations not complying -with the requirements of this bill will not be allowed to Institute any suit in this state until the tax is paid. SALEM, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) Repre senative Eddy, of Tillamook, has Intro duced a bill for taxation of corporations. The measure has been very carefully drafted. It has been passed upon and com mended by Secretary of State Dunbar and by the president of the Taxpayers' League of Portland. Mr. Dunbar made valuable suggestions In the preparation of the bill and to him Mr. Eddy says many of the good points of the bill are due. Mr. Dun bar treated the subject of taxing corpora tions quite fully in his biennial report and referred to the Eddy bill as one of merit. The measure provides a tax on corpora tions at their organization within the state, graded according to their capital stock. Foreign corporations must file with the Secretary of State a copy of their charter and must pay a tax of $50 ivhen they enter the state to do business. There after they are subject to the same taxa tion as are domestic corporations. Both foreign and domestic corporations are to pay a license tax according to the amount of their capital stock. A cor poration in order to maintain action in suit of any kind must have complied -with the requirements of the act. "The tax is not-a heavy one." sala Mr. Eddy today. "It is so graded that cor porations will hardly feel it and yet it will provide the state tvlth considerable revenue. I am Indebted to Secretary of 'State Dunbar for his kindness in offering many valuable suggestions. In the main, the bill is as I originally framed it, but it has been - modified in a number of im portant places by the advice of him and of ihe president of the Taxpayers League of Portland. "I expect that imperfections will devel op in the bill; ythey always do in every measure. The'posslbillty of this perhaps is greater in the present case than in most others.Nm account of the newness of the subject. We do not have a large fund cf experience in this legislation: in fact the subject is comparatively new in the United States." The bill provides for an organisation tax of one-tenth of one per centum on the first $100,000 of capital and one-half that rate on capital above $100,000, but In no case shall the organization be less than $23. This tax applies only to corporations organized for the purpose of gain. Cor porations formed for religious, educational or charitable purposes pay an organiza tion tax of $5. Section 2 of the act gives the Secretary of State the Tight to require that the name of any proposed corporation shall not resemble that of any already existing' so closely as to cause any confusion. . Section 3 amends the present statute covering the increase and decrease of capital stock and the dissolution of cor porations, so as to prevent evasion of taxc3 by corporations. It requires the fil ing of written evidence of any such action by corporations, with the Secretary of State. Section 4 provides for the pay ment of a fee of $ on the filing of sup plementary articles of incorporation. Section 5 requires an annual license tax to be .paid by every domestic and foreign corporation except fire, marine, fire and marine, life, accident, life and accident. plate-glass and steam boiler insurance companies and society companies. The license tax is graded according to t the amount of the capital stock. If the capital stock does not exceed $50,000, the tax is $20 per annum. If the capital ex ceeds $50,000 and does not exceed 5100,000, the tax is $30 per annum. If the capital stock shall exceed $100,000 and does not exceed $500,000, the annual tax shall be $40 per annum. If more than $500,000 and not over $1,000,000, the tax is to be $50. If more than $1,000,000, the license is to be $100. Corporations must file annual reports Ty July 1 of each year, giving prescribed information about its capital stock, offi cers and in case, of a foreign corporation the names of Its resident agent ond attor ney in fact. A penalty is prescribed for failure to furnish this statement. The capital stock of every corporation that pays the annual license tax is ex empt from taxation. Every foreign cor poration is required to maintain an at torney in jact residing in the state, and in default thereof provides for serving the corporation by service upon the Secre tary of State; The bill provides for the filing of certain' information by corporations which pro pose to engage In business in Oregon and they are required to show in detail facts in Tegard to copltal stock, nature of busi ness, location of office, name of its at torney in fact, names of officers, etc, to gether with a certified copy of charter or articles of Incorporation. Upon the filing of such"' documents the foreign cor poration must pay a tax of $50 and the Secretary of State must Issue a receipt for same, which shall be made legal evi dence in all courts provided the receipt shall be accompanied by a certificate of payment from the State Treasurer. This section applies to all corporations with the exception that the insnrance compa nies above mentioned are n6t to pay the fee .of $50. Foreign corporotlons already doing business in the state are required .o comply with this provision within six months from the passage of this act. All payments to the state under the act shall go into the general fund of the state. , Old Agre and Abstemiousness. New York Sua.

In my letter to The Oregonlan, I just stated the plain truth and I most em phatically deny having misrepresented anything. In his letter In the Sunday Ore gonlan, Mr. Qulmby says I was accused with having failed to attach tags to the skins. This he must know It was Im possible for me to do, even if the tags were procurable, as the law Is quite clear on that point, viz.. That no man can have more than five tags issued to him after making affidavit before a Justice of the Peace or County Clerk. I do think It was unlawful to confiscate the skins and I would like to ask Mr. Qulmby why, if he BOTH DIED THE MR. AXD MRS. Z. BKYAXT, OF CLATSICAXIE. CLATSKANIE, Or., Jan. 18. (Special.) Zephanlah Bryant and wife, Luvlna, died at -their late residence Thursday, the husband ot paralysis at 7 A. M., his wife of Brlghfs disease at 0 P. M. Mr. Bryant came to Oregon from Indiana In 18Jil, residing for a few years In Baker County, where in 182 he married Luvlna Crclghbaunf. who had recently come from Pennsylvania. They resided jjame years later In Benton County, where Sir. Bryant owned a farm, which he cultivated. For the past 12 years he resided at this place, engaging part of the time ir. mercantile pursuits and In farming a portion of the donation land claim of his father, la which he had an Interest. A family of six children are living, two others having died, after reaching maturity. Mr. Bryant was In his 71st year; his wife was nine years j-ounger. Both were well known and highly respected members of this community, where the husband has a large number of relatives. They wcro members of the Baptist Church near their old home, in Benton County. had a right to take my skins, did he not take them from the other man "he says he prosecuted In this county? .twery one I meet asks this same question. Is it not that he found out later that it is Illegal to take them at all? In the law- relating to hides nothing is said even of the Judge disposing of them. My busi ness has always been perfectly open. I can prove by scores of witnesses that I have never made any secret of dressing deer skins. So much for the "regular smuggling proposition." I certainly told Mr. Prettyman that I had never seen any tags, but the other remarks he ascribes to me are entirely without foundation. All the skins with the exception of four were manufactured buckskin (some un finished). As I said in my former letter, I have absolute proof that the Judge made no disposition of the skins at the trial, and I do not need a "stack of Bibles" to swear it on. I would respect fully suggest that it might be Mr. Pretty man's memory that Is at fault, rather than the Judge's, especially as his account of my arrest does not agree with what he said In Corvallls at the time, and which was reported in our two county papers. Mr. Qulmby says my real com plaint Is the loss of the hides. This of course is so, to a poor man, after buying them and working on them, to say noth ing of paying the 'fine for having them! I did not Insist in my letter that the men who sold the skins to me should be arrested, and I refused at the time to give their names. Besides, how could they be arrested after I have already paid the fine for those skins? What I did say, and what I reiterate, is . that the ones who kill the deer are the actual lawbreakers, if such they can be called in this case. Mr. Qulmby doesn't make any reference to the letter I mentioned which he wrote to the Corvallls attorney in reference to the case. I have received by mall letters and papers from different parts of the state, drawing my attention to Mr. Qulm by's letter in Sunday's Oregonlan, but not getting my mall every day, I could not reply before. GEORGE H. MOORE. ' Pulpit to Bar. JCew York Press. Why advertise a man when he de scends? Here Is a fellow of the name of MacDonald, who, unable to make a living in the pupit, has taken to grog selling and talking about his hatred of hypocrisy. He has learned In a week how to draw beer from a barrel without losing all the profits and thinks he knows how to make a cocktail. Any one can draw beer. As to cocktails, there are only three men in New York who know how to make them, and they have been 20 years in the business. If this chap could not preach a drawing sermon, how on earth can he expect to succeed at gin slinging? He Is going to run a respectable place. Without blagnhemv nnrl nrnfnnltir m why should the spirit of mortal be proud? aiacuuniuu is mruiy. Jie IS iar too thrifty for the pulpit, and probably has landed In his proper niche. I could point out a great many men in the pulpit who ought to be in something else. And there are men in commercial life, who, were they to go to preaching, would fill tho biggest churches In the land with eager penitents. No man should undertake to preach until he has mingled with the world of sinners and learned their ways. Thrifty Mac, who bought his grog shop with his wife's money, admits that he knew nothing of the seafny side of life until he began to draw beer. I do not believe It is necessary to .go to hell to save sinners. Thrifty Mac will not save many by going to the grog shop, which is about the nearest thing we have to hell. Thrifty Mac sells 1500 drinks a day, he says. If that were liquor at 15 cents he would take, in $225 a day. If he sells 500 whiskies at 10 cents and 1000 beers at 5, he takes in $100 a day.and. if one-third of that is net profit his Income is $200 a week, or $10,400 a year. Possibly his pulpit paid him $2000 to drive away the congregation. "For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose nis own sout ' t Gifts to New YorUs Library. New YorUs New York Woriri Trustees of: the New York public library held their regular monthly meeting a few days ago at the Astor building in La Fay ette Place. A gift of $10,000 by Jacob H. Schlff, to be applied to purchases for the Semitic department, was announced. This Is the second gift of $10,000; which Mr. Schlfr has made to this department. An other gift announced, made by Mrs. Henry Draper, was a collection ot illustrated French Almanacs, from 1SS0 to 1533. BY RAIL THROUGH ALASKA A ItOAD TO I1E BUILT FROM PORT VALDEZ TO DAWSOX. It Will Pass Tlirongh the Heart of Central Alaska Rich Resources of Copper River Valley. The great project of building a railroad from Port Valdes up the Copper River to Eagle City on the Yukon and thence to Dawson is to be carried out at once. This will be the all-United States lino through the heart of Alaska, says the New York Sun. As the Sun has already announced, the contract has been awarded to J. B. Mc Donald, of New York, who Is to complete the line in three years. The company or ganized to build the road will send 5000 men north next Spring and Summer to be gin the work. The first lot of rails i3 ready for shipment. The determination to build this line has grown out of the exploration of the coun try along the Copper River to the Yukon SAME DAY. since 1S0S. Previous to that time very lit tle was known of the Copper River ex cept from a few Russian and native re ports. In 1S9S Captain W. R. Abercromble, of our Army, led a party of explorers from Port Valdez along the Copper River Val ley. His report on this reconnaissance survey excited great Interest. On all tho tributaries of the Copper River he found fine or flour gold. He. brought home facts which seemed to show thut there are very rich placer deposits In tho foothills of the Copper River Valley. He found evidences also of large Iron de posits and coal beds. He saw fragments of coal In the hands of the Indians, and his horses were shod with the use of coal'taken from this dis trict. Ore containing free copper was also discovered. It was very evident that the Copper River region is one of the most highly mineralized regions in Alaska. On his return. Captain Abercromble said thut an all-United States railroad through Alaska to Dawson City could undoubtedly, be laid out from Port Valdez up tho Cop per River Valley. The present steam route by rail and river from Skagway to Dawson is 575 miles long, and has tho dis advantage of running in part through foreign territory. The water route from St. Michaels up the Yukon to Dawson la 1005 miles long. The route from Port Val dez to Dawson City will be less than 400 miles long, a difference of more than 175 miles in favor of the Valdez route as com pared with the Skagway route. The Copper River Valley, it was discov ered, has large agricultural possibilities, A recent dispatch to the Sun says that Captain Heady, who has the contract to feed and clothe the railroad hands, pre dicts that 1,000,000 persons engaged In ag riculture and mining will live there with in a few years. This Is certainly a glowing prediction: but Captain Abercromble expressed the opinion in 1S9S that the Copper River Val ley would produce all the cereals, garden truck and fruits and much other food-that will be reaulred bv the mlnlntr nomilatlnn which may settle along the Copper River and Tanana Rivers and In the Forty Mile district of Alaska. He found the soils of the valley largely of vegetable origin. very rich, and from three to eight feet In depth. The few white men who had preceded him on the river had raised excellent crops of all the common garden vegetables. He measured turnips four inches across. found pens woll podded, lettuce, onions and other vegetables were thriving and , there were thousands of acres that might raise wheat. Kernels of oats and other cereals that had fallen from the packs of horses had germinated, and the stalks were three or four feet high, the heads . being filled out with plump grain. This valley, he said, would also supply all tho beef required. There were many , thousands of acres of the finest bunch grays which was eagerly cropped by the animals of his pack train. He also found an abundance of timber for fuel and ties. The Copper River Includes among Its fishes all the salmon family and the gray ling. The salmon Is one of the chief articles of food of the natives. ! The proposed line of the railroad In ' volvcs no great engineering features. The line may be cheaply built and all the prob lems connected with It may be solved with comparative ease. ; During the Summer of 1S99 Captain Aber- crbmble resumed his explorations In the same region with a force of 20 men. He confirmed the favorable Information he ' had broucrht home In tho nrwIoii voar ' and made most Important discoveries an i to the prevalence of copper. Ho obtained a large number of samples of average ore which, upon assay, showed the presence of from 1C to SI per cent of copper, with j traces of gold and silver. I The railroad will run a little to the south of the Wrangel group of mountains, which are believed to contain concentrated cop per deposits in large masses. It Is not un common to find nuggets of native copper varying In size from blrdshot to pieces weighing mahv pounds. Cinnabar, galena, gold, silver and Iron ores were found In many places. Placer deposits carrying gold as coarse as corn kernels were discovered In several lo calltles. The pay gravel on the Chesto shena, a tributary of the Copper River, was running from $1 to $25 a cubic yard. The coal deposits found-in three localities were of a very high order of lignite and of economic value. Port Valdez, the sea terminus of the railroad, is one of the finest natural har bors on the Pacific. It is what is known as a mibmergcd valley, caused by the down sinking of the coast 30 .that the sea rushed In. drowning the valley. The harbor la some ten miles long by three miles wide. It will be a groat boon to Alaska, which has very few really good harbors. This Is due to the fact that all streams emptying into tho ocean carry large quantities of silt and earthy matter, which fill up the coastal waters so that sufficient depth of water for ordinary ves eels Is seldom obtained. Port Valdes is entirely free from this objection. It Is situated at the head of Prince William Sound, a little cast of Cook Inlet, in latitude. 61 mln. 5 sec. north and longitude 110 deg. 27 mln. west. The bay is open the year round, no Ice form ing anywhere except for a short distance from the mouth of Lowe River, the ex treme head of the bay. where the fresh water Hometlmcs forms a thin skin of Ice. The best place for shipping Is on the south side of tho bay, where wharves need be extended only a short distance from the shore to secure any depth desired. Here is the best place also for the railroad terminal. The first objective point of the railroad Is Eagle City, on the Yukon River, some distance above Forty-Mile Creek. The town is a mining camp near the mouth of Mission Creek, and In 1S99 It had a popu lation of about 700 miners. Most of the dwellings are constructed of logs. The Alaska Commercial Company, the North American Transportation Company and the Alaskan Exploration Company have general 'supply stores at this point. There arc also retail stores, resjtaurants. saloons and a sawmill that turns out several thousand feet of lumber a day. when John F. Rice visited the camp he found that the gospel was being expound ed in a saloon, and the town was excep tionally quiet, there being no gaming or dancehalls. Edward Glllete. the civil engineer at tached to the last Abercromblc expedi tion, made a most favorable report upon the feasibility of the proposed railroad be tween Port Valdes and Eagle City. The only way to get through the mountains from Valdes to the Copper River Valley is along the broad, smooth valley of the Lowe-River, the upper end of which seems to be surrounded by high mountains, but fortunately a great canyon splits the mountain range down to nearly a level with tho outside valley. Nearly tho whole distance will require only light work and easy grade. The cuts and nils average only 10 feet In height. It will be a great advantage. Mr. Glllete says, to have this main transportation route wholly within our own territory. Our miners will use tho railroad to rot Into the region at the head of the Tan- ana River and tis eastern tributaries, and will travel all the way on United States soli. He bellevea that the hardy farmers from Norway and Sweden would succeed In farming there as well as In their own country. The development of farmlnc and stockralslng will be commensurate with the demands of the Alaskan markets. In many regions hay may be cut cheaply and in great quantities, and practically an mc iooa demands of that region mav in the future be met by the local produc tion. He says that many htousands of miles of profitable railroad have been built in the united States In less nromlslnc re gions. ADVERTISED. Unclaimed Letters Remaining: In the PostofQcc at Portland, Or.

It Is too late now to avert entirely the calamities which will follow forest de struction as surely as night follows day, but there Is yet time to modify them. Not one In a thousand of the people of this country probably realizes what the con sequences of deforestation are. When fer tile valleys become wind swept, torrent scarred deserts, and vast areas now pro ductive become incapable of supporting human life the next generation will un derstand, and it will wonder what sort of a fool it had for a father. Bad air, poor food, insuf ficient clothing dark, damp or crowded apartments are frequent causes of scrofula. Perhaps this explains why the ailment is so common in the poorer sections of lare cities. Scrofula, however, does not recognize city limits. It pre vails under all conditions of lo cation, soil and climate. More over, it is but a step to consumption, and herein lies the great danger. It is just as well to avoid the step. It is rather strange that Scott's Emulsion should con tain just the very things that nature requires in curing scrofula. The pure Nor wegian cod liver oil helps to build up the whole body and enables one 4o acquire new, healthy, solid flesh. The hy pophosites of lime and soda act as a tonic on the blood and tissues, replacing the waste and giving strength and new structure where it is most needed. Because of its mild action, pleasing taste and nutritive properties, Scott's Emulsion is vastly superior 'to plain cod liver oil. There is nothing that will do more good in the case of scrofula than Scott's Emulsion. We'll send you a sample ha upon request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearrst., New York. Griggs. J E Grove. Belle Guler, Mrs A Guthery. Johnny Gustafson. Wilton Geller, Charles WORTH KNOWING At thin Season of the Year. Any cough accompanied by expectora tion which lasts over three or four days requires attention and treatment; this does not mean a visit to the hospital, nor to your physician nor wholesale drugging with patent medicines; but It means that some simple, harmless, effective antisep tic remedy like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets should be used to ward off any possible terminition In Pneumonia, Chronic Ca tarrh, Bronchitis or Consumption. All of these formidable diseases start from a common cold, neglected or allowed to run Its course, and It Is only the ex ercise of common every-day caution to cure a cold as quickly as possible, not so much for what It Is at the moment, but what It may become if neglected. Pcrhips no remedy Is so safe, reliable and convenient to stop a cold or obsti nate cough as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. The extract of blood root contained in them, combined with the red gum of tho Eucalyptus tree, seem to put the mu cous membrane of the nose, mouth and throat in a condition to throw off the germs of catarrh, bronchitis and consump tion, and as they are taken internally they stem to equalize the circulation and place the body in that condition of heilth which resists and throws off the germs of disease. A person In perfect health rarely catches cold, and If he does, throws it off In a day or two, but, where the coid hangs on, stopping up tho nostrils. Irritating the throat, or there is persistent, annoying cough. It Is evident that the system for some reason is unable to throw off tha disease germs which ciuse the trouble; a little assistance Is necessary, and this Is best, given by the use of some harmless germ-destroying antiseptic like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which are also palatable and equally so for children and adults. Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents full-sized package, higher In price thin troches and cheap cough syrups, but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain anti septic properties which actually cure colds, catarrh and throat and lung trou bles, while It Is a notorious fact that cough drops and cough syrups are largely composed of opium, cocaine and similar drugs that have no curative power. It is also true that miny popular liquid medicines and tonics for catarrh depend upon the alcohol they contain, which give simply a temporary stimulation of no real benefit for any trouble, catarrhal or oth erwise.
