THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1905. TAX ON LIVESTOCK New Law Goes Into Effect at Once in Oregon, RANGE TROUBLE DEMANDED IT County Assessors Will Have to Take the Measure Into Account in Making Assessments Begin ning Next- Month. SALEM. Or., Fob. 22. (Special.) When County Assessors In Oregon begin making their assessments next month, they -will be governed in part by the new law rel ative to the assessment of livestock. This act of the Legislature is one of the very few new laws that carried emergency clauses, and in this instance the emer gency was declared to exist because of the range wars in parts of the State of Oregon. Because this act will tend to settle the range difficulties and avert vio lence, it is declared that the immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety require that the act take effect from and after its approval by the Gov ernor. The act referred to, H. B. 237, declares that livestock pastured In more than one county shall be subject to taxation in each county in proportion to the time it is no permitted to pasture or range. All stock must be assessed in the usual. manner by Assessors, and the owner must deliver to the Assessor a written state ment, showing a description of the stock, with the brands used; where the stock has been kept and will be kept, with the county, and the owner is liable to his home county for the state, county and other taxes. "And the owner shall, un less sufficient real estate ample to secure the same is liable therefor, pay the As sessor at the time of sucCi assessment the tv hole amount of said taxes for the full year at the rate of the last preceding levy, and take his receipt therefor." It is then provided in the act that, when stock is permitted to range in any county other than its homo county, the owner or Ills agent shall notify the stock inspector of said county of the entry of his stock. The stock inspector must immediately de mand a statement of the number of head tif stock coming Into the county, etc, nnd evidence that the tax thereon has been paid or secured In the home county. The owner Is then liable to the county into which his stock has been taken "for the portion of the taxes thereon for the lull length of time that such livestock has been and will be within said counts during said year, according to the last preceding rato o levy in said county for all state, county or other purposes, as other property in said county Is liable." The owner must pay said taxes to the etock Inspector or secure the same. If the stock remains in the county after the time for which the tax has been paid, the owner must furnish the stock in spector an additional statement and pay a further tax for the time the stock Is to remain, in the county. As soon as any such livestock Is re lumed to its home county, or If not re turned, then before the expiration of the year, the owner or the person to whom first assessed shall present to his home county the receipts showing the taxes paid to other counties on such stock, -whereupon he shall bo entitled to receive from the County Treasurer out of the migratory stock fund "that part of the amount of taxes paid on such livestock In raid county proportional, as the total periods of time for which taxes have been paid in other counties -within the state, as shown by the receipts therefor and presented, is to the wholo year." Taxes aro made a lien upon the stock In any county where the tax is due, and upon any real property of the owner In sJd. county, and such taxes may be col lected by any proper action or provisional remedy. Assessors and stock inspectors must make monthly report showing the stock assessed, the time for which assessed, and the amount collected, which amount must be deposited in the County Treasury, where Jt shall constitute the migratory stock fund. "Where rebate for livestock Is made to a person other than the one by whdm the tax was originally paid, such payment must be made upon the certifi cate of the Assessor or stock Inspector, which shall show the name of the person entitled thereto, the number and descrip tion of livestock, the time for which the rebate is allowed, and the county or coun ties in which taxes on such livestock have been paid or secured to be paid other than the home county. At the first regular term of the County Court, after the 1st day of January of each year, the Treasurer of each county shall report to the County Court the amount of taxes on livestock received by him. and the number.- description and cwner thereof, and the time for which the tax was paid; the amount paid on re hates, and the number and description of the stock, the name of the owner and the time for which the rebate was paid. If the report be found correct, tho balance in the migratory fund shall be turned into the general fund. No rebate can be al lowed after the Treasurer has made his report for the year. The provisions of this act do not apply to stock sold by the owners thereof in the home county, upon which the full taxes have been paid, which said stock shall be driven or transported into other counties and kept in enclosures for the purpose of preparing the same for mar ket. Persons or corporations owning or hav ing In charge any livestock, who violate the provisions of this act. are liable to a line of $25 to $1000, or Imprisonment for 20 days to one year. The act Is general In its nature, and ap plies to all counties and all livestock sub ject to assessment and taxation. Accord ing to the language of the act, all As sessors must require the specified state ment to be made when they assess live stock. Proportionate assessments, how ever, are only made upon livestock that Is "kept, driven or pastured, or is per mitted to range or graze in more than one county of the state during tho year.

The Jury was out 15 hours. Adolph Weber, who Is only 20 years old, was tried for tho murder of his mother, but is also accused of killing his father, sister and brother and of burning the family residence. The tragedy occurred November 10, 1904, at Auburn, the county seat of Placer County. On that day, soon after Adolph left his home. It was destroyed by fire and the other four members of the family perished. An examination of the bodies taken from the ruins of the house proved that the mother, father and daughter had been shot, while the dead boy had been struck on the head with some blunt Instrument. Adolph arrived at the fire before It was extinguished and threw into the flames a bundle found to contain his blood-stained trousers, which a few mlnutrs before he had exchanged for a new pair.

Eminent counsel were engaged In his defense, while the Attorney-General of the state conducted the prosecu tion. The trial occupied 28 days, dur ing -which the prisoner maintained his composure to a remarkable degree. MONEY FOR INDIAN VETERANS Appropriation of the Legislature Be comes Available May 18. SALEM, Feb. 22.

This appropriation differs from that made In 1903 In this respect, that In no case can the money be paid to the estate or any heir of a veteran who has died since having his claim, audited, though In case of such death the money may be paid to the widow. There arc now 250 claims awaiting pay ment and $45,000 was appropriated to meet them. For the Information of the many people Interested directly or indirectly In this law. Secretary of State Dunbar has caused the act to be printed and has prepared a circular letter explanatory thereof. .The letter says: As a claimant under the provisions of an act of the Legislature of 1003 providing fo: compensating volunteers for services ren dered the Territory of Oregon during the In dian "Wars of 1S35 and 1856, having a vouch er approved by the Adjutant-General on file In this office, which has not bten audited, owing to the fact that the sum appropriat ed by said act became exhausted before the filing of your claim, I send you herewith for your information a copy of an act passed by the Legislature which lias Just adjourned, providing for compensating the volunteers for the services of the Territory of Oregon during the Indian Wars of 1855 and 1S26. who were not provided for by the act of the Legislature of 1003. The act contains no emergency clause, and consequently does not tafce effect until 00 days from the end of the session, which will be May 16, 1005, and under no Circum stances can claims be audited or warrants issued prior to that date. The Supreme Court In the caee of Boyd vs. Dunbar holds, "the authority of the Secretary of State is limited to the terms of the act, and he cannot go beyond Its provisions, nor can the courts compel or authorize him to do so." It will be observed that section S of the act provides that "the claim for services rendered by said volunteers shall only be made by the volunteers themselves, and in no event can the claim be filed by his widow, heir, or estate; and In no event shall the claim for said services of said volun teer be payable or due to any person ex cept the volunteers who have actually served In salfl Indian Wars, except In the event that the volunteer In eald Indian Wars has died since the filing and proving of his claim before the Adjutant-General and the Secretary of State, In which event the amount found due shall be paid to the widow or said deceased volunteer. If any; but In no event shall such amount be pay able to heirs, either direct or Indirect, or the estate of such volunteer, and should the deceased volunteer leave no widow, then the amount found due said volunteer shall revert to the State of Oregon." Satisfactory evidence therefore must be furnished this office that the claimant is living on May 18, 1003. blank form or proof being herewith Inclosed. In the event of death, and the claimant leaving a widow, latlsfactory evidence must be furnished thl office in the form of a sworn affidavit as to the Identity of the widow form of which af fidavit will be furnished upon application.

OVERDREW ITS BANK ACCOUNT Idaho University Will Get No Relief From the Legislature. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 22. (Special.) The appropriation committee of the House and the finance committee of the Senate spent the day on the general appropriation bill. They have been confronted, with many problems. Principal among these has been the question of provision for the educa tional institution. The State University asked for 550,000. in addition to its income from endowment funds. The latter will amount to a sum between 526,000 and 530.000. After a great deal of discussion In committee. following arguments by special friends of the in stitution. It has been agreed to allow 527,500 from the general fund. Another trouble has been a deficiency of $0000 for the university. It appears to be In the nature of an overdraft at a bank. As-this was not authorized by the state board, the appropriations commit tee' has refused to make proylakm. for it The special committee to prepare a bill to cover deficiency claims also refused to. recognize this claim, and It seems likely tq go unpaid. This claim has accentuated a contro versy that has arisen over the powers of the board of regent3. It has been alleged the board of regents Is supreme, the board being a body corporate. Its funds are turned over to It quarterly, and are disbursed differently from those of any other institution. The claims do not pass through the hands of the State Board of Examiners, nor do they go Into the Au ditor's office. The legislative committees have taken the ground that the Legislature cannot recognize any deficiency not certified by the Board of Examiners. This university deficiency was not authorized by the board, nor was It certified by It. The Lewlston Normal School will get 520.000 from the general fund If the pres ent plan goes through. It Is estimated Its endowment Income will foot up to 51S. 00. The proposed appropriation for It Is also a pronounced cut.

Jack Baxter, who robbed a roommate of a watch and other personal property, was brought here from Everett, In which city he was arrested, and has heen held to the Superior Court for trial. One of the greatest American millionaires once said to his physician, "A million dol lars, Doctor, for a new stomach," and then the sick man groaned and turned away. One of a man's greatest pleasures is that born of t keen appetite, vigorous digestion and a good dinner, and this belongs to many a good fellow who is living: on acuil wages, but the rich man without a stomach has to forego the good things of the table because, his stomach rebels. Without a healthy stomach and a good digestion, onr blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart action is weak, onr liver does not do its duty, and man is miserable and unhappy. In this condition man is prey to the germs of inflnenza, consumption, malaria and ail the ills that he is heir to. Consumption can be treated by natural methods which are as close to nature as possible. Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi cian of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago un derstood this disease, and after a long pe riod of experiment discovered certain roots and herbs which were nature's remedies, and succeeded in putting them up in a form that would be easily procured and ready to use. This he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It gives no false stimulation because it contains no alcohol and no narcotic. It helps diges tion and the assimilation of such elements in the food as are required for the blood. Instead of a cod liver oil, against which the already sensitive stomach will declare open rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying action upon the sensitive stomach and gives to the blood the food elements the tissues require. It maintains the patient's nutrition by enabling him to eat. retain, digest and assimilate nutritions food. It overcomes gastric irritability and symp toms cf indigestion, and In this way lever, night -sweats, headaches, etc., are done away with. It fortifies the body against the germs of consumption, grip and ma laria, and it builds up the tissues and puts on healthy flesh. When the druggist says he has some thing that is "just as good "as Dr. Piercefs Golden Medical .Discovery, he says so be cause he hopes to. make a better profit, bat his own mixtures have not stood the test of long experience nor had the success tljil Dr. Pierce's medicines have-had. And yet both of these classes are more or less subject to catarrh and catarrhal diseases. The soldier and sailor, as well as the civilian, find It frequently necessary to take Peruna on account of coughs and colds. , Ool. Hamilton Uses Pe-ru-na in His Family. Col. A. L.
