SOME STUBBQRN FACTS
Crook county's tax-roll Xs
year amounts to the enormous
sum of $10S,00Q. Last year it
. was $100,000, in round figures,
and the preceding j'enr outy a
few thousands less. The tax
rate, while lower in the amount
of mills levied, is higher iu fact
because of the increase in the
valuations placed on property
For iustance, tillable farming
lrtud which in this section was
assessed at $4 an acre two
years ago when the lev' was 1
mills, making a tax of S4 mills
an acre, is this year assessed at
$6 an acre, which at the rate of
fhe levy, 14.$ mills, makes 85.8
mills tax on the acre, and in
that two years the amount of
taxable property has steadity
increased. Thousands of acres
of farming land and timber
have been added t6 the tax-roll
in thoB6 two j'ears. But, with
millions of dollars added, to the
property whii h bears f the bur
den of taxation, the rate has
been greater the past two years
than it was the previous 3rears.
Tax figures arestubborri facts.
Thej' tell their own story in
their own way, and can't be
coaxed or wheedled into mak
ing matters look better than
they are. But, just as stub
bornry they point the way to a
remedy. It lies in a careful,
conomical, businesslike admin
istration of county affairs, and
that is the reason the demand is
so strong for an entirely new
deal.

OUR PAPER RAILROADS
Hope keeps the heart alive,
else we should have long ago
despaired of relief for the trans
portation difficulties of Central
Oregon. Time after time has
the promise of railroad exten
sion into Central Oregon ,been
given, but always without ma
teriar results. Beginning with
the promised extension of the
Corvallis & Eastern, which, long
before thi3 section became a
populous farming district, had
its. survey across the mountains
and into Central Oregpn, up to
the present time with its half
dozen or more "prospects,"
Crook county has been scan
ning the horizon for the advent
of the iron horse. jCts eyes
have grown wearyvbut its faith
has never faltered.
This week we are re-printing
a Portland storj' of renewed ac
tivity on. the Mt. Hood road. It
is the one road "headed thin
way" upon which actual con
struction is in progress, and for
that reason offers the most im
mediate promise of rail trails'
puliation. The Pioneer prints
them all, these railroad stovie,
because it believes that the peo
ple of this section want aH the
news they can get on a subject
so vitally important to them.
And because, too, it" has an
abiding faith in the early frui
tion of Central Oregon's hope
of rail transportation.

Jails Not Needed
A peculiar problem is being discussed In
the province of Prince Kdward Island.
The stiugestlon has been made that one
jail centrally situated is ample to meet all
the needs.
Tne plan heretofore has boon a jnll in J
each ciinty, hut oftentimes it hap
pened that all of them have been empty,
and it never happens that any of them aie
full. Tlie Charlottetown Guardian point
out that the percentage of population thnt
Is criminal Is the smallest iu I'rlnco Kd
ward Island of any province of Canada,
and therefore there is no need fur a prluon
in each county.
Tlii.s Is a striking tribute to the bencfltti
of the prohibitory law. If bar room ac

Tho Crlmo of Liquor Soiling
Once ni'ore tho liquor trafno ha been
lilt. The blow comes from the federal
boucli this lime. Judge Alston (i. Dayton
of the Ijnlteil States District Court for the
nortliorn district of West Vliginla, Is ihu
11 an who delivered It. And here Is the
way in which he did it;
"I have aid It, and I aialn proclaim It,
that uo man can be engaged In the sale of
liquor and be honest. He will take the
last dollar of a drunken oiiug man, kick
him out, and send him on to a drunkards

sale of liquor will avwage one murder for
every saloon iu the country."
Dtit here la a nui lou thing. If It Is dis
honest to boll liquor, or If liquor soiling
makes 11 man dishonest, why doih tlie
