The- foregoing )miws how ixHTssary it is that some way or means be de viswl by which vth tite rereuue and local revenue should be separated. All property tangible ami intangible should bear its jut pHirtion of the burden, either by dimt or indirect methods. And I believe it possible for laws to ls enacted whereby the revenue nene. ary for state government can be raised by iudirect method from intangible prerties, and direct taxes will only be iteceary for county and municipal purposes, lexied ujion tangible prop erty, and thus obviating rompelitlo- Itctween count ie in regard to state tax paid. The taxpayer in giving hi property to the asor place; very different value thereon than he would if he were listing it for sale, for the reason, he fears the high rate. Take away the danger of this high rata end the assess ed value of properties will go up in every county of the state. The first question an immigrant asks a hen looking for a location ia our state i "What ia your rate of taxa tion." And whea you inform him that it is three or four per cent he does not take into consideration that the prop erty is ohly assessed at about one- fourth of its real value, but is intimi dated in the matter by the high rate. Take away this danger or possibility of a high rat and in Marion county in stead of having an assessment roll of ten million dollars and a rate in the city of Salem of four per cent, we would have an assessment roll of forty million dollars (which is nearer th true value of. Marion couuty properties) and a rate in the city of Salem of one per cent. This rate would be still less If the levy was for county ami municipal purposes only and the state taxes rais- -I.. .1 a .. . m irom oilier source. iu result, ill the eyes of a man who wishes to in vest is ol ions. The iiitauxihlu properties of t In state of Oregon are of almot inesti instable value, but an examination of mr asHesmeiit rolls will show that suh prom-rty is not lifted and doe not bear any portion of the burden of taxation.

Blake, whose place of residence ia 525 Market stTeet, Portland, says: "I bought several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and I scarcely think if the first had not proved satisfactory that I would used almost everything said to be a cure for weakened kidneys and bladder, but nothing ever gave me the satisfac tion I received from Doan's Kidney Pills. They are easy to take, have no effect upon the stomach or bowels and act directly on the kidneys. I thor oughly believe from the reults I re ceived and also from observation that Doan's Kidney Pills are one preparation on the market which acts directly as represented."

Under the old law where the amount of state tax paid by each county was estimated from the total value of tax able property, as shown by the assess ment of the counties, great injustice resulted in counties who assessor re turned a just and true assessment of the values of property in the county, for the reason that many county as sessors, in order to reduce the amount of state taxes due from his county, would assess property at a very low figure, often as low as one-fourth of its true value, and only the tangible prop erty of the county assessed. These are the reasons that a man is required to pay as much or more taxes on a little home, which only a roof for hlnvelf and family, than docs a wealthy cor poration whose business in the county On Sunday, December 17th, the Dea rer & Rio Grande railroad will inaugur ate a daily line of standard and tour ist sleeping cars between Denver and Loa Angeles in connection with the new Clerk road.
