HOMES SHOULD BE EXEMPT.
Would not the single tax advocates
make faster progress If they would
offer their remedy in smaller doses?
There is much virtue In the single tax
idea as all must admit who have
studied the question closely and with
fairmindedness. But it Is strong
medicine and it is natural people
grow fearful when it 13 offered to
them by the bottleful.
With these preliminary comments
the East Oregonlan desires to suggest
that if single tax is to be offered the
people of Oregon the first step should
consist in the submission of a measure
proriding for the exemption of homes
fiom taxation. It would be a meas
ure almost certain of adoption and
surely It would deserve adoption.
Homes should not be taxed. They
axs ot source of wealth and if we
ar to turn towards ai policy of levy
lag taxes on the sources of wealth
rather than upon wealth itself it
would be natural to start forth by
abolishing the tax on homes.
To abolish taxes on homes would
b an effective step towards lowering
the oet of living. In Pendleton at
thU time the tax levy is 20.6 mills.
That means that on a home costing
$3009 a low average on the price of
homes In Pendleton the owner must
D8T slichtlv over $5 per month in
taxes. If a man lives in a

Every woman's heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a baby's
Toice, because nature intended her for
motherhood. But even the loving
rature of a mother shrinks from the
ordeal because such a time is usually

rent than he would have to pay were
homes exempted from taxation. Ue
move the tax and you will aid in solv
ing the problem of how to live when
prices are hish und Incomes low.
Itut to remove the tax on homes
would not he to throw a crust to the
poor. Nothing of the sort. It would
be merely offering the square deal
to horn owners both rich and poor.
Homes do not produce wealth and
they should not be taxed. The money
that is raised from taxation of homes
should be raised from taxes on land,
which in the economic sense means
natural resources, including power
sites, coal and timber; on franchises
and on inheritances above a certain
amount, the inheritance tax beiny
justified because with the unnatural
conditions governing the business
world of the present great fortunes
have been acquired without being
earned and H is only right that a
share of that money should go to the
state.
What do Mr. URen and his follow
ers think of the suggestion to exempt
h-mes from taxation? The East Ore
gonian wonders if they will like it or
will demand Instead that the people
take single tax by the bucketful or not
at all.

With agitation underway in Fen
dleton for lower prices on street pav
ing the East Oregonian takes pleas
ure today in reproducing a story
from Gcrtdendale. Wash , and publish
ed in a Portland paper last evening.
It sets forth that many bids on hard
surface paving have been received by
the Goldendale council and that Dol
orway paving has been offered the
people there at a price of $1.34 per
square yard.
Inasmuch as the Dolorway people
have been asking a price of $1.50 per
square yard here it would seem that
the company has not yet reached
bedrock with reference to price cut
ting in Pendleton. Surely the paving
company will not charge local prop
erty owners any more for their work
than they charge the property own
ers at uouiendaie. iocai property
owners are a fine lot of citizens and
are entitled to the very best that's
going in the way of paving prices, a
fact that both the paving companies
should carefully bear in mind.'

With the rainfall thus far two
inches ahead of the normal Umatilla
county is assured of a bounteous sup
ply of moisture this season and if
we do not get a good crop the fault
will not rest with Jupiter Pluvius.
Eut of course it is still too early to
brag. More rain will be needed latel
in the season. Then there is the
danger that the wheat may be blown
down, it may become so heavy it can
r.ot be threshed, it may be ruined by
hot winds and the paper bag cooking
fad may become so strong that the
women will refuse to bake bread thus
lowering the price of flour and wheat
But aside from these possibilities of
calamity it must be admitted that the
outlook is very good.
The Medford Carnegie library has
been closed to the suffrage workers
because the suffrage brigade down
there includes some bald headed an 1
some long haired men. There seems
to be need down there of a men's
rights organization.
An Irishman who was a steerage
passenger on the Titanic says that a
steward attempted to close a gate so
as to keep the steerage passengers
from getting to the life boats. It is
significant that the Irishman is able
to testify. How the steward fared
the reports do not say.
If strikes were never more, serious
than is the electrical workers strike
at the branch hospital all would be
well. When a single man constitutes
the striking brigade his going does
not leave a very large gap.
The Humphrey brothers are unfit
t;t live. Since Governor West is op

the hanging feature and order the

An aeroplane at the Round-up

If Dolorway pavement can be had
for $1.34 per yard what will gravel

TAKKINGTOX'S TOl'GII TALK
When Jiooth Tarklngton is In New
York he makes hi home at one of
the university clubs on Gramercy
park, says the New Tork correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Times Star. It
was there he told this story of a par
ticular friend, well known to the New
York stage. He visited Mr. Tarklng
ton at the latter's home in Indian
anolis to spend the fag end of a re
cent year. When New Year's day
came they set out calling, in obedience
to the beBt Hoosier tradition. "Maybe
he wasn't quite acclimated," said Mr.
Tarklngton, "or perhaps he waa in
cautious. Anyhow, he wanted to
dance the turkey trot wtth Aunt Me
hltable Jones on his third call, and
by 5 o'clock In the afternoon had be
come totally incapacitated. Fortu
nately, we were then at the home of
a dear frtend of mine, and we Just
lugged him upstairsand put him to
bed. "
"An hour or so later he awoke to
find himself in bed In a perfectly
strange room, and suffering violently
for fresh air, and, not content with
what blew in, he had to take a dive
into it. He was picked up unconscious
under the window balf an hour later
and hurried to the hospital. There
they set seven ribs he had broken
when he fell out and put him in a
plaster cast, and ticketed his 'Case 37,
Hall 2. Ward 9." In due time he woke
to sober realization that something
had happened. By tvnd by the doctor
came busling in.
' 'Where am I at?' he asked, In de
fiance of grammar.
" 'In the hospital, said the doctor.
'How do you feel?'
" 'I gotta dickens of a pain in my
side ' said the actor.
" 'Xo wonder,' said the doctor.
'You are a pretty sick man.'
"My Thespian friend thought he'd
bluff it through, being still without
knowledge of what had happened. He
waved one hand airily at the ribs he
did not know were broken.
" 'For six weeks, I've felt that pain
comin on,' said he."
VOTES FOR' WOMEN
Judging from the reports of the
Portland press, the famous Miss
Martin, anti speaker from New Tork,
is as usual adding gaiety to the cam
paign and incidentally gaining votes
for women.
An interesting meeting of league
members was held at Wheeler's stu
dio Thursday evening of this week,
and plans for precinct organization
perfected.
Xext Tuesday at 3 p. m. the regu
lar meeting of the Political Equality
Leagute will be held at the city hall.
It Is expected that a large number
will be present. All women interested
in the success of the suffrage amend
ment are cordially invited to attend
this meeting. Precinct chairmen will
be appointed and volunteer workers
will be asked for. Notice of time of
parlor meetings will be given at the
Tuesday afternoon meeting.
HOW IT GOES.
"Well. George," said the president
of the company to old George, "how
goes it?"
"Fair to middlin'," George answer
ed. And he continued to currycomb
a bay horse. "Me an' this here-hoss,"
George said suddenly, "has worked
for your firm sixteen years."
"Well, well," said the president.
