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. ,

George II. Moore Writes Asnln About
Coiififiented Hides.
PHILOMATH, Jan. 12. (To the Editor.)
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.

thrifty for the pulpit, and probably has

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

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.

Dnnger in Deforentation.
Philadelphia North"" American.
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.

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. Makes Silver look like

Quic&ly and Com'
pletely Cured by
Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure

If, after an attack of LaGrippe, your
strength does not return, you cannot sleep,
or rest or cat; if you have frequent headaches,
if your heart nutters, blood is thin, your cir
culation poor, you are in more danger than
when stricken with fever and- in the deadly
grasp of grip itself. The after effects of La
Grippe are terrible. To guard against its
dangers, strengthen the heart with Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure which, by enriching the blood
and improving its circulation, will cure any
affection of the heart and strengthen it
against further attacks. Tone up the system
and revitalize the nerves with Dr. Miles'
Nervine. When your nerves are in proper
condition, you need never fear the attacks of
LaGrippe or its terrible after effects.
"From my personal experience with Dr.
Miles' Remedies I always take pleasure in
recommending them to my customers. Six
years ago I suffered from a severe attack of
LaGrippe which left me with a weakened
heart and nervous system. I was'weak, run
down, frightened at my condition and miser
able I used two bottles each of Dr. Miles
Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure
and I was quickly and completely cured,
furthermore 1 have never had a return of the
trouble. I am selling.vast quantities of vour
medicine, especially the Anti-Pain Pills.

the results." Eugene Marsh, Druggist, Ft.

SCIBN'CE SCOItES AGAIN.
A Preparation Thnt "Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.
Finally the scientific student has discov
ered a certain remedy for dandruff. When
it first became known that dandruff Is the
result of a germ or parasite that digs Into
tho scalp, and saps the vitality of hair at
the root, causing falling hair and baldness,
biologists set to work to discover some
preparation that will kill the germ. After
a year's labor in one laboratory, the dan
druff germ destroyer was discovered: and
It Is now embodied In Newbro's Herplcide,
which, besides curing baldness and thln-
lng hair, speedily and permanently erad
icates dandruff. "Destroy the cause you
remove the effect." For sale by all drug
gists. Send 10 cents in stamps to The Her
plcide Co., Detroit, Mich.
