EQUITABLE TAX FOR SHEEP.
Eastern Oregon Delegation Seeks to
Solve Dlfflcult Problem.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 20. (Special) The
i-istern Oregon delegation Is studying
over more equitable taxation of the sheep
industry. As the law now stands
counties which provide Summer ranee -for
sncep nctween lour or five months in
the yean do not collect revenue from
many herds. These flocks should pay
taxea not alone to the county where tnev
rang'e during the Winter, but also where
tnev spend the Summer.
Owing to the fact that assessment-rolls
now close early in the Spring, sheep es
cape taxation in the counties where they
spend the Summer. Solution of this prob
lem is a hard nut for tho Eastern Oregon
lawmakero to crack. Grant, Crook,
Wheeler and Baker Counties are the
largest sufferers in this respect. In Grant,
for example, it is estimated that about
400,000 sheep from other counties range in
Summer. The herds usually start out for
Summer grazing early in May and return
in October.
The conflict between cattle and sfleep
Interest In Eastern Oregon is reflected in
a bill now before the Legislature to pre
vent sheep from ranging within one mile
of dwellings on the land or claims of per
sons other than the owners of the sheep.
This bill Is clearly In the interest of cattle
and mlningmen who protest against the
Summer herding of sheep. Representative
C. P. Johnson, of Grant, said last night
tnatlthe enactment of the bill would work
nnrasnip ana injustice on the sheep In
dustry. Cattlemen by setting up os
tensible dwellings could shut out sheep
men from large areas of country.
"I represent both cattle and sheep Inter
ests." said Mr. Johnson, "and shall do
my best to further the Interest of each
but this bill is so unjust to sheepmen that
I cannot favor it. It would enable cattle
men practically to shut out sheepmen
from extensive tracts of grazing "country "
Mr. "Johnson says that If the assessment
rolls were kept open until July, as is pro
posed by a bill now in the House, much
of the Injustice of the present system
woud be removed.
Mr. Johnson has received a copy of a
resolution of the Eastern Oregon Sheep
Association protesting against a one or a
two-mile limit law. The resolution was
aaopiea uecemDer zt. isoz, at Baker Citv
It reads as follows:
Whereas, A petition is belnsr circulated In
Eastern Orecon addressed to the Legislative
Assembly of the State of Oregon, praying that
what is known as the two-mile-limit law
affecting the herding of sheep be passed by
said Legislature; and.
Whereas, Such law would bo prejudicial and
ruinous to the sheep Industry and the pro
ducers of hay and other farm products would
be seriously injured thereby; and.
Whereas, Large stuns of money are being paid
annually for hay, labor and other expenses far
In excess of other Industries of like nature;
and.
Whereas, We believe that no Industry should
be fostered to the ruin of any other.
Therefore. We pray that the sheep industry
of this state may be protected by you to the
best of your ability as a lawmaker of this
state., and we respectfully ask that you uso
your utmost endeavor to see that the ranging
of all stock on the public domain be kept upon
an equal footing, and that no law be passed
which would injuriously affect any of the stock
interests of the state, and your petitioners
will ever pray. S. B. KIDDER, President.

PAY OF STATE PRINTER.
Senntor Mnlkey Proponed Constitu
tional Amendment.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. (Speciai.)-Senator
Mulkey today secured the adoption by
unanimous vote of his joint resolution of
the session of 1001. for an amendment to
the constitution which will enable the
Legislature to fix a reasonable compensa
tion for the State Printer. The resolution
has now to pass the House, and than
the amendment will be ready for submis
sion to a vote of the people at the regular
election In 1004. Should It be Indorsed by
the people, the Legislature of 1905 will
have the power to fix the compensation
of the State Printer.
Senator Mulkey has been working eight
years on this effort to remedy a condition
which has made the State Printer's office
a needless burden to the people. When
the resolution came up In the Senate to
day, he made a clesir and forceful state
ment of the purpose of the amendment,
and the reasons for its adoption. The
resolution was adopted by both houses in
the session of 1001. It provides as fol
lows: "That article 12. section 1. of the con
stitution of the State of Oregon, be and
the same Is hereby abrogated, and In lieu
thereof shall be inserted th fniin-i,,.
'The Legislative Assembly of the State of
Oregon is hereby empowered to provide
by law for the election of a State Printer.
and to provide for his compensation, and
to prescribe his powers and duties.' "
The present constitutional provision was
evidently framed for the particular ben
enefit of the State Printer, rather than for
the benefit of the people of the State of
Oregon. It provides that the printer shall
be elected by the people, that he shall
do all the public printing, and that he
shall be paid at rates which shall not be
changed, during the term for which
shall have been elected.
In speaking upon the subject In the
Senate today. Senator Mulkey said that
the people and the Degislatures have been
trying for a quarter of a century to get
rid of tne burden which this section of
the constitution has placed upon them
Though the methods of printing hav
improved and the actual cost of printing
has been greatly reduced, no change has
ever been made in the rates allowed the
printer.
To continue the present system, he said
would be as unwise as to provide that
the Superintendent of the Insane Asylum
shall furnish all the groceries, meat, fuel
and clothing for that institution at rates
fixed a quarter of a century ago, and
which could not be changed to correspond
with the market price. If the Legislature
shall adopt this resolution, and It should
be Indorsed by the people, a law can then
be passed which will provide reasonable
compensation for the State Printer, nnd
the state can get Its printing done at the
rates which prevail In the business world
At the close of Senator Mulkey's address
no other arguments were offered and no
questions asked, but every Senator re
corded his vote in favor of the amend

lleved this a Multnomah measure I would
not vote one dollar for It. The bill is
the means whereby Oregon may be placed
In the rank of states where It belongs. It
will bring capital of the East to develop
our mines and forests."
Gault. who seconded the amendment,
now got the floor. "Although this is os
tensibly a state affair," said he. "I see
we shall not be able to make it no.
grant that Multnomah will pay $170,000 of
the appropriation. But remember .that
the rest df the state pays $330,000. Instead
of being a benefit to the state It will be a
detriment. Capital does not go where
there are high taxes."
BankK Answers Gnult.
W. W. Banks, of Multnomah, next
spoke and had an amusing tilt with Mr.
Gaul.
"Mr. Gault talks about poor taxpayers,"
saia Mr. Bans.
"I didn't," echoed Gault.
"Then you said that your people didn't
want the Fair."
"No. I didn't," responded Gault.
"Then what did you say?"
"I'm not speaking now."
' wcu, saia .Mr. sanies, turning on
Mr. Gault. Every farmer's wife in Wash
ington County will sell enough butter
and eggs In 60 days to pay the increase in
the tax."
"Wouldn't they sell just as much with
out the Fair?" retorted Mr. Gault.
No, they wouldn't," said Mr. Banks and
he had the last word.
Question Put Without Opposition.
When Endy put the question of amend
ment, to a vote not a single voice was
raised in opposition.
Phelps of Morrow then proposed to
amend by providing that the Fair should
have no money from the state until It
had secured $500,000 from other sources.
Mr. Malarkey led the debate on this
question nlw). He said that the amount
actually appropriated for the Fair, $400,000;
was equaled by the fund already raised in
Portland.
Thevblll was finally adopted In its en
tirety, both in committee of the whoI6
and in regular session.
In the afternoon the bill reached its
third reading. On roll call only five
members voted no Bllycu, Gault, Hunt
ley. Olwell and Paulsen. During the roll
call Galloway explained his vote, saying
he believed the amount excessive. "The
question is up to me to vote for an ap
propriation or for no appropriation, so
I vote for an appropriation." Judd made
much the same kind of statement.
Kay predicted that the Fair would not
be the sreat benefit predicted; but be
cause Multnomah wanted it, and his own
constituency wanted it, he, would lay
aside his personal judgment and vote for
it.
Shelley discussed the merits of the
measure, saying his constituents were for
It and he would vote for 1L
So the bill passed. .

Mow m strong.
The Hon. Amos P. Atkins, who is one of the
most prominent men of Kew Albany, Ind., and
Treasurer of Floyd County, has this advice to
give to those who are shut up within the narrow
confines of office or shop :
KDr. Piejce's Golden Medical Discovery seems to take
the place of hard training in developing strength, vigor
and endurance of the system and expelng all impurities,
with which the blood sometimes gets clogged. I ha-e
found by personal experience that it enables me to do
more hard work, and at the same time etftfure more phys
ical strain and participate with greater vim in outdoor
sports than anything I know of. It can always be relied
upon to increase the appetite, induce healthful sleep, and
tone and refresh a worn-out system.
KA number of my friends who have used it speak in
the same high terms, and we have reason to consider it
an office man's friend."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
blood-purifier and health-giving tonic that con
tains no alcohol, opium or other narcotic. It is
a purely vegetable compound, made from roots
and herbs in an up-to-date pharmaceutical
laboratory, and has been used and recom
mended by thousands of people during the past
thirty-seven years.
$3,000 Forfeit !
"Will be cheerfully paid, in lawful money of the
United States, by the undersigned, proprietors of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, if they
cannot show the original testimonials and signa
tures of every testimonial among the thousands
which they are constantly publishing attesting
the superior curative properties of their several
medicines, and thus proving the genuineness and
reliability of all the multitude of testimonials
volunteered by grateful people, in their behalf.

"Some time has elapsed since I have written you in I
regard to the treatment I have been taking under your i
instructions," says Mr. E. F. Cingmars, of 533 Penn Ave., 1
Minneapolis, Minn. "When first I commenced taking'
your remedies I had been for four months under treat
ment of a well-known specialist in this city for catarrh
and stomach trouble, rapidly getting worse. Got so bad j
that I could not eat anything that did not distress me
terribly and I was obliged to quit taking the doctor's r
treatment entirely. I was greatly reduced in flesh. As a
last resort I wrote to you and stated my case, and, after
receiving your instructions I followed them closely. After !
taking five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery-and one vial of his Pleasant Pellets I commenced ;
to improve, and decided to continue the medicines and '
observe your instructions regarding hygienic treatment, j
It is now nearly six months since I commenced your
treatment and I can say that I am well and never felt i
better in my life. Am very grateful to you for what
your medicine has done for me."
" It has been about two months since I stopped using
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes J. M.
Venters, Esq., of Regina, Pike Co., Kj. "I stayed down
in Texas last year and contracted chills and fever while
there. I came back to Kentucky and was about shaking
mjr boots off my feet when I commenced using it. I only
weighed 49 pounds. Had been suffering with chills and
fever for twelve months. Took treatment from my doc
tor and tried many different kinds of patent medicines,
and all seemed to do no good. Since I have used four
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and one
vial of his Pellets,' I feel well in every respect and weigh
1S6 pounds instead of only 149, my weight when I began
its use. I advise the whole South to keep it their homes
the time, and I will guarantee they will have no more
chills and fever if used as directed."
