SINGLE TAX AGAIN
The Kat Oregouian lias had another
Tecrudesi-ant tit of Single-tax. It de
nounces as the only "real cranks" the
"newspaper men as well as many other
people who are determined to tax slock !
gamblers and railroad wreckers, capital- j
lufa a tail aiif.H vuikfilc " unH affirms tliar
.... , . , , i
. , , , . ,
these is simply putting extia burdens i
upon the shoulders of the real taxpayers
the producing cla?ses." The Chroxi-
clk may not clearly understand what is ;
" . ' . . . . '
but, if it includes the owners of tbeITn
ion Pacific company, for example, which I
pays a tax in Wasco county nearly equal j
to one-sixth of the country's annual rev- j
enue, we would like the KaM Oregouian :
to show what advantage the producers :
of the county would reap from the re-,
mission of this tax. Would the coin-
pany make a reduction in rates equal to I
the amount of its annual tax, or would
it Arttiriniia t . I au it hue nlraadtr diino
. ' . " , '
never make any concession except when
driven to it by stern necessity? Is it not
a fact that the only thing that ever acts
on such a corporation, so as to superin
duce a reduction of rates, is competition
or the ' force of a statutory law?
Would not an opposition line of boats
between this city and Portland be the
means of putting more nionev in the

emption of the railroad from taxation
for the next thousand years would ac
complish? . The Same argument will apply equally
to the stock gambler, and to the capital-j
ist also, though in a less .degree, for
after all it is largely the scarcity or abun
dance of money that fixes the rate of
interest. We say largely because we are
perfectly willing to admit that to a large
extent the borrower of money pays the
tax. But all personal wealth is not in
the shape of louns. Here is a man who
purchases a piece of ground worth, say
ten thousand dellars, he builds a house
on it worth a million, furnishes it at a
cost of another million. By what rule
of equality or justice shall these two I
millions be withdrawn from bearing !
i j... . . . c iu ii- i
their just proportion of the public charg-
es? Kxempt them from taxation and i
th burdens they ought to bear must be 1
transferred to other shoulders.
t,i . , v , n !
The zeal of the Kal Orego.ua,, for the
single tax system has led it into an in- j
acuracy of statement, scarcely excusable j
in a journal that assumes so much men
tal and moral superiority. It says, "to
collect taxes on personal property, with
any accuracy, the expense of doing so is
"very nearly as much as the receipts."
As a matter of fact the state law fixes
. the fee of the tax collector (in this coun
try one and a third per cent of all taxes
collected) and this fee is every cent it
costs the several counties to collect their i
taxes. If the sheriff fails, from any
. cause, to collect a tax, the time spent in
the effort is his own loss. If taxes are
collected by distraint and sale, the extra,
fees are paid out of the proceeds, and
the cost of the county is no greater than
. if the collection had been made volun
tarily. Is one and a third per cent "very
nearly equal to the receipts?" The ed
itor of the Kat Oregonian should not
allow his zeal to run away with his ver
acity.
The county alliance of Liyie county
met last week at Eugene City. The fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted by thedeligates present: "Re
solved, that we demand of the next leg
islature a law creating precinct asses
sors, and that all property be listed for
assessment on a certain day ; that the
present railroad commission be abolished
and that in its stead a maximum rate
will be established, and that the legal
rate of interest be reduced to six per
,eent., and that the national government
pass a law that will enable the people
to borrow money at two per cent, on the
sub-treasury plan or jn approved secur
ity." An eastern exchange is authority for
the statement that Algernon Sartoris,
' the husband of Nellie Grant Sartoris, is
near his end in France from delirium
tremens. The married life of General
. Grant's daughter has been anything but
a pleasant " one, but the elder Sartoris
and other members of the familv have
done all in their." power to smooth her
path and make her life endurable. Spo

Death of a Pioneer.
A telegram was received by Mrs. W.
D. Palmer of this city, Sunday morning
carrying the sad. intelligence that her
mothej- Mrs.' 1'. N. Gilbert of Salem' had
died that morning. So particulars were
j given" and as , she was in good health
I about the middle of last week when
heard from Mr. and Mrs. Palmer can
not surmise what was the cause of her
death. Mrs. Palmer has gone to Salem
to attend the last sad rites of the deceas
ed. Mrs. Gilbert has many friends in
The Dalles and in fact all overvOregon.
She was one of the pioneers of the Wil
lamette valley, in 1847, having come
,,M . tj;00 .;tu K. no-..t.
Her father is Alfred Stanton, a cousin of
ex -Secretary of war Stanton of the Lin
coln cabinet. In 1850 she was married
! to Mr. I. X. Gilbert, and five girls and
one son blessed their union, which was
an unusually happy one. Her husband
died in 1878, and her children are all
alive and well except one which died
fourteen years ago. -Mrs. Gilbert resid
ed at Salem from the time of her mar
riage until her death. She was one of
the four members that founded the First
Congregational church of that city, in
1852, an organization that has leen
powerful and strong since its reception,
now having 206 active members. Mrs.
i Gilbert was the sole survivor of the four
that organized the church

' EASTKRX OREGON WEATHER.
The weather has continued cool, partly
cloudy and general rains have fallen,
with snow on the higher elevations south
of the Blue mountains. The total rain
fall this month has been in excess, at
most places of any previous record.
CROPS.
The rains have been most beneficial to
the growing wheat, other cereals,- corn,
fruit and garden products, also to the
hay ami stock teed. AH vegetation has
a brighter prospect for a good harvest
than for many previous years. Summer
'low wheat will yield enormously, and
spring and volunteer wheat will be good
cpAxcept in some few sections Jbere
it was burnt in May. Fruit is thriving
and doing well, but needs warmer
weather. Oregon as a whole, has been
carefully estimated and conclusions
ma(ie tmlt the preHent pro8pect8 indicate
at least one million more bushels of
wheat this year than last.

It was rumored Monday that all the
Oregon Lumber Company's mills would
be shnt down this week, caused by an
order from the land department forbid
ding further cutting of timber. It is not
probable that this will happen as the
company haa an abundance of timbei of
its own", for all except the lower mill.
The er.use of the rumor was that some
of the persons who have homestead lands
near the mill have doubts as to their
right to cut the timber nntil they have
made final proof, and so they wiil quit
cutting until that time. It is probable
that the lower mill will be moved, as all
the available timber in that neighbor
hood has been cut. It is quite a hard
ship on some of the settlers who have
occupied the lands for years, that they
are forbidden by law to cut the timber
from their claims, but the only way to
overcome this difficulty is to make final
proof. Glacier.
