PAGE THREE. dREBDN I II IHICOiTITITHl The perennial contention over Ore gon's tax laws and the payment of state taxes Is again agitating Oregon courts and last Saturday Judge Gallo way of McMlnnvlllo, declared Chat the law levying state taxes upon the counties Is unconstitutional and gave Yamhill county perpetual In junction agiilriHt the collection of $22,482 taxes by the state. A Salem dispatch says of the Im portand mutter and the fur reaching results which are likely to follow: That the law prescribing the ap portionment of ntate taxes conflicts with the Oregon constitution and Is therefore Invalid Is the glnt of a de cision rendered In the circuit court here today by Judge Galloway. ' The mho nt hand was the suit brought by Yamhill county to prevent ' pnymont of alleged excessive taxes to the state treasurer. This suit- reads, "County of Yamhill vs. County Treas urer Foster and State Treasurer Steel," wherein the formrr Is enjoin ed from paying and the latter from collecting the sum of $22,482 exces sive state tax for 1907, alleged to have been wrongly and arbitrarily appor tioned to this county by the state board. What tlx; I-av Means. The state law which Judge Gullo way has held unconstitutional . re quires each county to pny a specified proportion of the total state tax. The proportion wheh each county was to j pay was fixed by the act of 1901 and was determined by taking an aver- Galloway's decision means a return to the former system of apportion ing taxes according to ansessed valua tions.

Washington county evidently antic ipated thin decision, for the assessor of that county has already announced that the assessment roll of 1908 will show greatly reduced valuations. Quite likely there will now be a stampede among all the counties to reduce assessed valuations ns rapid ly as possible, In order to escape the burden of state taxation. Such was TESTED AND PROVEN, Tltoro Is a Heap of Solace In I icing Able to Dopond Upon a Well-Earn wl Reputation. For months Pendleton readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done In this locality. Not another remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit. Mrs. H. Swaggert, living at 319 Gardpn street, Pendleton, Ore., says: "Both my husband and myself have used Doan's Kidney Pills with the most gratifying results. Mr. Swag gert was troubled severely with his back and kidneys for a long time and never received any relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to his at (ha ovnnrlnnA mhan that uvatom wna fnrnHv l fnrn nnrf thA f!nI'HV.1 V ' tenlln an(l he PCUred a DOX at the decision Invites a repetition. If Judge Galloway's' decision moans a return to the system of apportion ment according to assessed valuation, Multnomah county will bo one of the heaviest , sufferers. Under the pres ent fixed ratio, Multnomah pays 31 per cent of the state taxes, but under the valuation system it would pay 40 per cent, an increase of 30 per cent In the amount of state taxes. Umatilla county now pays about five per Cent of the taxes and would bo compelled to pay over seven per cent under the valuation plan, an In crease of 40 per cent in the amount of its state taxes. Among the counties that would suf fer Increased state tax burdens by the change are Columbia, nearly 200 per cent, Curry 20 per cent, Douglas 25 per cent, Jackson 25 per cent, Tilla mook 50 per cent, Wallowa 30 per age of the assessments of each of the cent. -counties for a period of five years Among the counties that would get prior thereto. . a material decrease in state taxes It was originally Intended that this would be Itaker, slight, Benton 50 per plan should remain In operation for five years only and that thereafter each county should pny state taxes In proportion to Its county expendi tures, but subsequent legislative ses sions postponed until 1912 the time cent, Clackamas 30 per cent, Harney 75 per cent.

The constitution requires that the legislature shall provide an equitable system of assessment and taxation and Yamhill county contended that the fixed ratio pln violated this re quirement, which is does absolutely In theory and to a greater or less ex tent In practice. If Judge Galloway's decision shall be upheld by the supreme court the effect will be, presumably, to relieve Yamhill county of half the tax bur den apportioned to It and to require other counties which have Increased their assessments to pay a larger amount than that imposed by the act of 1901. While nullification of the act of 1901 will relieve all counties of the obligation to pay under that act. yet It Is manifest that the state revenues must be paid and eventually the bur- dens must be borne by the several counties according to a ratio which will stand the constitutional test.

The best time to sack grapes is when the berries are quite small not larger than small peas. Ordinary two-pound paper sacks can be used. The mouth of each sack should be snugly wrapped around the stem of the bunch, uinf securely held in place by pinning or tying. The tie should be tight, but of course, not ton tight. The sacks protect the grapes from fungus and Insect enemies, including wasps, birds, etc., and the bunches thus protected are apt to be finer and more perfect. From July Farm Journal.

The plan Is original to this coun try and contemplates a general dis tribution of admitted aliens and other persons seeking employment. In that view, there are being forwarded to postmasters throughout Ihe United States, packages of cards with return attachments, for distribution to farm ers and others who are likely to need the services of farm and common lu-j borers, or mechanics, and who may; obtain the character of help required! by mailing the return Information j card, properly filled out, without pay ment of postage. For this valuable service no charge Is to be made, or fee accepted, either from employer or employe, and the officers entrusted with the work will exercise every posible precaution in selecting men and directing them to destination. In cases where labor Is not needed at tills particular time, the applica tions may be retained by prospective employers for future use. The work of selecting suitable per sons to serve In the several fields of labor covered will be given special attention by experts designated by the department of commerce and la bor. RUNS UP RED FLAG. Tillamook Anarchist Insult Stars and Stripes. Tillamook, Ore., July 6. Anarchy's led rag floated above the Stars and Stripes for a few minutes in this city today. But only for a few minutes. Patriotic citizens pulled it down. William Wolfe insisted that the flag should float in the breeze this Inde pendence day, but Marshal Zimmer man wasn't to be bluffed. Blows fol lowed, and In the melee the officer was forced to use his club to beat the anarchist Into submission. Wolfe now languishes in a cell In the city Jail. As the parade marched up Main street, William Wolfe, of the firm of Wolfe & Gessner, painters, raised the red flag from the roof of his ' store building. Some one climbed up and tore down the emblem " of anarchy. Wolfe returned later and ran up two red flags over the Stars and Stripes. This stirred the fighting blood of Tillamook's patriotic citizens. A crowd collected, and. Marshal Zimmerman Ordered Wolfe to remove the objec tionable flags. Hot words followed, and the officer was forced to make lib eral use of his club In getting Wolfe to the city jail. The red rags came down and are no more. There was much excitement over the Incident among the 4000 people gathered In Tillamook for the cele bration today, and but for the timely arrival of the peace officer Wolfe would have suffered violence at the hands of the Justly indignant citizens.

While the subject of a purer milk Bupply for Pendleton Is being dis cussed, the following timely and ex cellent article from the Stellar Ray, a New Thought magazine of Detroit, Mich., will be read with intense In terest by readers of the East Orego- nian. The Stellar Ray says: When It is considered that 80,000 children die annually in the United States from germ-infected milk alone the importance of absolutely pure' milk Is readily appreciated. Ignor ance, that great crime of the ages, Is the sole reason for the death of these children. For there Is none who would destroy if the knowledge of how to save were at his command. When one speaks of pure milk he immediately thinks of milk that has been inspected by the city or county milk In.-pc-ctorj or health officers and pronounced "fit to drink." This, however, is not pure milk it is only "near-pure" milk, and is still I In an unfit condition for the consump- ' tlon of small children and babies, I Milk to be In absolutely pure con- I ditlon, robbed of Its death-germs, j must undergo an operation of pasteur ization. Pasteurization is a simple irocess, which should be known by every mother. It requires no chemi cals and It means simply the appli cation of heat to the milk. It is a process that every mother should learn, and the directions for which she should keep on hand in the house with far greater care and concern than her household recipe I book. No woman can keep house I without this book, which means frosted cakes and currant Jelly, but j the recipe for pasteurization of milk . means the lives of the children andj it should be regarded as one of thei household's greatest treasures. We ' hal! give this recipe and then tell you a little of the Importance of using it; The milk should be furnished to in fants in nursing bottles after heating It In the bottle In boiling water to a temperature of 163 degrees Fail., for at least 20 minutes. The nursing bot- tie should be clean. The milk is then introduced into the botle, which is wrapped in a cloth and placed in a kettle or other vessel containing wa ter reaching almost to the neck of the bottle. The cork should be re moved from the bottle und placed in the water. The water is brought to a b'lll; the flame then lowered to keep i.ter near to boiling (but not boil ing) for from 20 to 25 minutes. The flame Is then extinguished, the cork inserted into the bottle and the whole allowtd t cool to the temperature of the ruum. It is then ready for the child. Tlve so-called commercial pasteur ization of milk is almost worthless. Of course milk Inspection In most of the large cities does a great deal of good, but it is a safe estimate that It decreases the death rate of children not more than 25 per cent. Nathan Strauss of New York took up the task of real milk pasteurization 15 years ago. As a measure of his won derful reward statistics show that lust year alone his method saved the lives! of 11.000 children. In St. Louis, Chi cago, Boston and Kansas City his plans were followed with great suc cess. It is somewhat astounding to know that while children under five years of age constitute but 13 per cent of the population of the United States they furnish from 30 to 50 per cent of the deaths. With such advancement as we are making today in every department of life's welfare, it would seem that greater attention should be paid to the saving of babies. Ten per cent In deaths of children should be an enormous price. Th altar of Ignor ance and negligence demands a saf rlflce, but let not the offering be so great , Booth Was Acquitted. By a verdict reported in the United States court Saturday, James Henry Booth, ex-receiver of the Roseburg land office, was acquitted of the charge of accepting unlawful com pensation while serving as an offi cial of the government, says the Sun day Oregon. Booth was in dieted for furnishing advance Information lo Frederick A. Krlbs, a timber land speculator of Portland, regarding the final cancellation of lieu land selec tions, and for which it was alleged $S00 was received on October 3, 1903. The jury reached a verdict at 12:05 o'clock yesterday morning, 35 minutes after the Instructions of Judge Wolverton had been repeated. At 12 o'clock midnight Judge Wol verton went home, after ;nns tnat the Jury be locked up for the night, consequently the finding of the Jury could not be reported into court un til 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
