Where it Pays to Trade THE PEOPLES WAREHOUSE Save Your Coupons From July 11 Until August 1st j COfLICnS IN OREGON I II The Oregonian discusses the Gallo way decision on the unconstitutionali ty of the Oregon tax law. In an able manner and as this Is a highly import ant subject, for the readers of the East On sor.lan, the article Is reprinted as follows: Counties that have assessed proper ty at full cash vaue will resist the at tempt of Tamhlll county to have the law of 1901. apportioning the state tax. dclared unconstitutional. Among these counties are Colum bia. Marlon. Multnomah and Umatilla. They maintain that If the state taxes are apportioned according to existing assessed valuations, as was the prac tice before the enactment of the law which Judge Galloway has declared unconstitutional, the amount of their taxs for state purpose will be increas ed unreasonably. The assessors In these counties al lege that the move on the part of Yamhill county Is simply an attempt to avoid paying a just proportion of the state tax. If the property In Tarn hill county was assessed at Its full cash value, it is averred, the count would not be paying more than lta rightful proportion Into the state treasury Discussing the subject yesterday, Assessor B. D. SIgler ,of Multnomah county, said he was in communication with the assessors of other counties of the state in which property has been assessed at full value, with a view to determining the best means of defeating the purpose of the suit that has been instituted in Tamhlll. It Is not proposed to wait until the suit has been carried to the supreme court. In support of the- contention that the present system of apportioning the state tax among the different coun t'.es on the basis of the average assess-m-::: of property for the five years 1 . '-ceding 1901. when the law was passed, is the only fair and equitable plan of distributing this tax, some pro-(- line may be brought to show that Tamhlll county property is not assess ed at its full cash value, as contem plated In the law. Assessor Sigler feels that it will be possible to prove that the assessor of Xamhill county has not listed the ir 'j er'.y of that county at more than 3D 1-3 per cent of its actual value. Jtonilt If Iceisioii Hol(K Following the enactment of the law in 1901, and under which the state tax is now apportioned, the assessors of Multnomah, Marion, Umatilla and Ci: jmbia and a few of the other coun ties, proceeded to assess all property at iu full cash value. This was done in compliance with the provisions of the law itself. In the other counties property is assessed at from 33 1-3 to probably 75 per ceat of Its true valu ation. Now, If the law is held to be unconstitutional, and the former sys tem Is restored, these counties would be required to pay from 30 to 4 0 per cent more state taxes than they are paying, and all because the other counties fail to assess their property a: full cash values. For instance, since the law went into effect "In 1901, the assessment of Multnomah county property has been increased from S32.639.9S" In 1900, to J233.161.05S in 1907. In Umatilla the aggregate assessment in 1900 was $3,585,000, while last year the total was H2.053.S66. The Inrease In Co lumbia county for the same period was from $1,477,350 to $16,786,655. while in Baker county, where property is assessed at 40 per cent of its value, the aggregate of the roll increased from $2,&S0,255 to $9,694,000 in the last seven years. In the same length of time the as sessors of Tamhlll county Increased the assessment of property In that county only from $4,770,106 in 1900, to $11,700,521 in 1907. This total valuation of $11,000,000, it is argued, does not exceed 23 1-3 per cent of the value of the property of the county. Wliat Change Would Mean. By returning to the old practice of collecting the state tax on the assessed valuations as reported by the various county assessors, Multnomah county this year would have paid $466,282.11 in state taxes Instead of $359,154, or about 30 per cent Increase. Colum bia's tax would have been increased over 2H0 per cent, or from $12,190 to $33,573.31, while Umatiila would have paid $84,111.73. Instead of $56,350. A Itevelalton.

Steamer Corwln Returns to Nome After Fruitless Search. Seattle, Waah., July 7. A special to the Post Intelligencer from Nome says: The steamer Corwln, Captain West, has returned to Nome after searching for the steamship Ohio without being able to locate the missing vessel owing to the smoke from the Tundra fires, which prevents observers from see ing any distance. The vessel Is be lieved to be waiting on the Yukon flats for the fog and smoke to raise. The Corwln spoke the United States revenue cutter Thetis and the Brit ish steamer Breckley. The latter Is coal-laden from Nanaimo, B. C, and showed them the channel in through the ice to Nome. The British boat went ashore near Slnrock river, 25 miles from Nome, but was uninjured and will be floated with high tide. Glass and Hardware Found in Stom ach of Coos Bay Tramp. Marshfield, Ore.. July 6. In order to satisfy a craving for drink, Frank Durga, a tramp, has been amusing the frequenters of saloons by eating glass and swallowing small articles when his audience would give him a glass of whlsgy. He Is now paying the score for his unnatural trick and the surgical openartlon to which he sub mitted at Mercy Hospital, In North Bend, resulted In a discovery which the local physicians say surpasses anything they ever saw or heard of. The man was sick and It was decided th.st some foreign substance had lodg ed In his stomach. Doctors Bartle and Gale opened the man's stomach and after several hours work, removed the following collection of articles and mixed junk: Three Jack knives, one etied of knife handle, thre door keys, one small key; three five-cent pieces, 15 dimes, one end of metal fishing rod. two large loaded rifle shells, three small shells, 17 horseshoe nails, one fish hook, two finishing nails, one single nail, one eight-penny nail, 173 pieces of glass, some of which were larger than the finger nail. When .the opening of the human junkpile was started and it w;y dis covered what the stomach contained the surgeons and nurses were simply dumbfounded. They could scarcely believe that the man could have had such a collection In his stomach and still live. Some of the glass had pen etrated the membrane of the stom ach and the most delicate dissection was necessary for its removal. The man Is apparently getting along very well and the doctors say that unless some unexpected complications arise he will get well. He soon after the operation said he was hungry and asked fur substantial food, the light fare usually given the hospital pa tients not satisfying him. Th;it the man could convert his stomach into a depository for money and hardware scarcely seems possible but the doctors have the articles to show and state that they were hardly able to believe what they themselves sa w. Nothing is known of Durga further than that he Is a tramp and saloon loafer, about 4 4 years old, who ha been on Coos bay for two months. He Is now a county charge. , ..... - J&lpUf.rr V Hundreds of people who suffer from backache, rheumatism, lame back, lumbago and similar ailments are not aware that these are merely symptoms of kidney trouble.
