IU1SK PLANTING day M 0' FFICfAL recognition of the Rose Festival by foreign na tions transpires tomorrow. At Citv Park In the afternoon the accredited representatives of Ger many, Japan, England and other governments will participate in the ceremony. They will plant In Port land soil rose shoots brought for the purpose from their respective coun tries. ' The governor of the state, the mayor of Portland and others of distinction will have places on the program. It will not only be a unique, but a notable ceremonial. It will accentuate the Hose Festival Idea, by directing attention to the fact that distant climes and disting uished men recognize Portland as the borne of the roses and the annual celebration of the roses as a worthy and laudable function. A vast as semblage of citizens will doubtless be present, and every home In the city will be en rapport with the oc casion. Than the Rose Festival, no agency does more to give Portland a repute that inures to the city's advantage. It has a meaning to distant states and peoples that is immensely com mendatory of Portland people, Port land climate and Oregon soil. Roses do not thrive in the Arctic, or In Sahara. It is only In climes of mild est temperatures that they attain greatest thrift. Barbarous people do not cultivate flowerB. The best advertisement that can go over the world for Portland Is that here is a people, here are homes, and here a climate with roses aB the setting and environment of living, and where the growth of this queen of the flowers is so marked that it is the subject of celebration. Tomor row's function Is a worthy one, and It should renew in the city the spirit of rose culture, and the determina tion to more than ever heighten Portland's primacy as the head quarters of the rose. AVOIl CAYXOH. Andrew Car negie and other prominent men of New York have late ly been discussing the sub ject of personal pioperty taxation, and I lie conclusion reached by most of them, as It lias been reached b many students of the matter here tofore. Is that the attempted taxa tion of personal property, especially money, notes, accounts, stocks and bonds, Is to a great extent a fail ure, only a small portion or sucn property Is reached, that of the more dishonest or least conscientious pos sessors escapes; this sort of taxation invites evasion and disregard of law, and successful perjury; It leads to flagrant injustice and discrimina tion, often against widows and or phans It .penalizes honesty and In effect rewards dishonesty. All this has been seen and said before, and no remedy or means of compelling full and equal payment of taxes has been found. In large cities, especially, many very rich people pay but a small fraction of the taxes that the law contemplates that they should pa'y. From whom, from what, will the added taxes be rollected to make up the deficiency If personal property of the kinds mentioned Is made exempt? Mayor Gaynor Intimates that the easiest and best solution of the prob- formation. This belief has a strong hold on Latin nations beyond the wnter, and is openly and vehemently expressed, it is a reason for raising the wreck to the end that the truth or falsity of the charge may be de termined. However, the Issues or perspective of the war that followed the wreck of the Maine would not be affected by any disclosures that might re suit. It was not the destruction of (he Maine that was the profound rea son for American interference in Cuba. It was the broader and higher issue of Spain's folly and futility In the fertile island. . The reconcenf rado policy of VVeyler with Its herding of famishing' Cubans within the lines of armed soldiery, together with the other cruelties and barbarous brutalities was the Influ ence that enlisted American senti ment In behalf of the oppressed Cu bans. It was an Impossible system of taxation and the terrible tyran nies of a government by the Man on Horseback that aroused the latent passions of American citizenry and forced deliverance of the suffering islanders. The war that succeeded was not a war of retaliation for loss of the Maine, but a war of humanity for the relief a'nd succor of an op pressed people it was one of the noblest wars that has ever been fought, and one of the most exalted acts of this republic. Discovery that i he explosion that wrecked the Maine was from within might make a sensation, but It would not alter the aspect of the war that freed Cuba from tyranny. The wreck of the Maine, tragedy though It was, is a mere episode; the deliverance of the Gem of the Antilles was a capital, political and humanitarian event. The lords, while it la not expected that they will again reject the budget, whatever it may contain doubtless view with niuch satisfac tion the apparently Insurmountable difficulties that confront Premier Asqulth and his assistant lenders. The situation is one to make Hrltlsh politics of groat Interest for a con siderable time to come. A Georgia man has succeeded In producing a black rose, and says he can also produce black cotton, also, perhaps, cotton of other colors, which may be a very valuable dln covery. Hut it is not intimated that he has any prospect of producing a white negro. COMMENT AND NEWS IN BRIEF SMALL CHANGE. The nature of the meat packers is just about the same as that of most of us. In their places almost all other men would do the same. Yet It doesn't follow that they or their methods do not need some measure of reformation. IHHK.'ATION IN THE WILLAM ETTE VALLEY A good many Portland streets are no credit to tho city, being rough and deep In mud. But perhaps as much Improvement work Is being done as could be reasonably expected. It costs the government over half a million dollars a year to send out the free mall of congressmen. Yet no congressman seems to have thought of economizing In this respect. TANGLEFOOT By Miles Overliolt It In nearly always somebody rise who to blame.

The ordinary most effective way could bring in water from adjacent streams, or construct reservoirs In the foothills or on elevated ground, and so in sure good crops of all kinds every year, regardless of the weather. It may be that the heavier soils of the Willamette valley would need Irrigation somewhat differently ap plied from the method of treating Jight and loamy ground, but that irrigation would often be helpful, and especially on comparatively thin and gravelly soil, la not to be doubted. The Willamette valley, taken in the aggregate, Is one of Immense producing capacity. Much of its lands lies waste as yet, or at best la but slightly and Indifferently culti vated, and in many cases by methods that are going out of date with pro gressive farmers. There has indeed been much improvement in recent years, and this will go on even more rapidly. With irrigation, In all cases where it is available, and with progressive and scientific farming in other respects, this great and beauti ful valley could be made to multi ply its prod lids," even while the soil was being less exhausted. Though long settled and tilled, though the "(lod's country" of the pioneers of more than half a cen tury ago, the growth in population and wealth of this magnificent val ley ought to be greater during the next 20 years than it has been, in the past fiO or 70.

Portland, Feb. 19. I want to say. and this Is final, that I think we are going to get what we battled for, 1. e., lower car steps. The railway company has Invited us to their car barns up on Savier or 1'pshur streets, near by. Any conductor will tell ladies where to get off at 4 o'clock on February 22. I hope every woman will go till the barns are full and the outlying streets are crowded. Many say why go there? Well, to prove that we are In earnest. I do not think it was necessary no more than It was to ask a lot of men, who wanted something done to stand around with their hands In their pockets and tell people how to do that which they fully comprehend. But let us all be there If possible. Seattle has already gone to work to lower Its car steps, not waiting for council or women's outcry. A grand battle was fought In Chicago and won. After all I believe the chief blame lies with the car builders. They will probably have learned a lesson when we are through. I measured my front porch steps. They are eight Inches. We have been stepping up twice that and two Inches thrown In every time we have entered a car, for a long time. Now when we have our lower steps. The monument In the form of an obe lisk, erected to the memory of George Washington 'at the national capital, is the finest monument In the United States, and one of the finest In tho World. It was finished In the year 18S5, and was dedicated on February 21, Washington's birthday that year falling on Sunday. The ceremonies were most lmprrsstve, the government, the army and navy, the representatives nf foreign countrVes, and men of distinction In civil life, united to do honor to the great Washington. The formal presentation of the monu ment was made at the tease of the grand obelisk, while the dedication ceremonies proper took place in the hall of the house of representatives. Colonel Casey, tho engineer In charge of the work, turned over the monument to the gov ernment, and President Arthur accepted It In Ix-half of the nation. The orators of the day were Hon. John W.

Tho stories of which the monument Is constructed are great blocks of crystal marble from Maryland, of which there are more than IS, 000. one hundred and eight v-one j "memorial stones" have, from first to I last, been contributed for use in the monument.

It seems to me that It would be a Wry unjust law to hold my real property for the personal property of my tenant. If such Is the law I am sure that many of your readers will appreciate the publication of same in your valuable columns. HAYSKKD. Generally speaking, there can be no lien on real estate belonging to A for personal taxes of H, even though the latter Is A's tenant. If, however, B bought the personal property from A after March 1 the personal tax for that year would ha assessed to A and his land would be liable for It. been violating either the Sherman Cal reason tnrthewret anu-iruM .aw oi mat e si at mes iim v- a nu 1 1 mov eu . i nere is a cnarge oe- rov.())ution.

From Newspaperdom One of the most important develop ments of recent years in the new's-ser-vice field is the launching of two new pitss associations, with headquarters at 200 William street, this city the In ternational NeWs Service and the Na tional Nexfrs association. Without any, blowing of frumpets or previous announcement to the outside, world these two corporations a few days ago began serving news reports by leased wire to a large number of news papers throughout the country, the In ternational News Service to morning papers and the National News asocia tion to evening papers. On the same day . the Hearst News Service, t lie American News Service and the Hearts Syndicate 'ceased to exist. The two new concerns had completed contracts with the Hearst newspapers, the Morning American and the Evening Journal, for all their output and are now sending it out together with a complete morning and evening telegraph service. The change thus nnietly brought about in the serving of nevvg and syn dicate features to a large and important clientage Is not In any sense a change of name only. It means the passing out of existence of three organizations that had been in. the field for many years, and that two newly formed corpora tions have entered the arena. Mr. 8. S. Oarvalho Is president of the International News Service and Mr. E. H. Clark of the National News Associa tion. The" two new organizations have se cured as their general manager Mr. Richard A. Farrelly, who for some time had been general manager ofMhe three old organizations. There has been little change in the personnel of the staff which he directs aside from the addi tion of new men to meet the require ments of an enlarged volume of business. n n. AmlM'r Marmalade.

O butcher, spare that steer! Touch not a single horn!
