Unlike Oregon and most other
states the tute of New York haa a
c o n 1 1 i t ution under
'ew York's which the legislature
lax Flan may classify property
and hence la - not re
quired to observe uniformity in tax
ution. Seemingly the New York leg
islature has the same power that our
legislature would have If Oregon ad
opted the amendmentt written by As
sessor C. P. strain and approved by
the Farmers t'nlon state organiza
tion. A constitutional convention is to be
held In New York In April and it Is
eaid a proposal will be made to re
vert back to the rule of uniformity In
taxation. This has caused the Tax Re
form Association In Its recent annu
al report to set forth the following
observations on the situation:
"Any limitation on the power of the
legislature to classify the subjects of
taxation and to prescribe the plan or
method by which each class shall be
taxed, or to grant such exemptions as
Mem desirable for the encouragement
of commerce and industry, would
place obstacles in the way of progress
and be out of harmony with the trend
of modern fiscal policy. New York
Is one of the few states whose consti
tution has been free from such lim
itations, and consequently the legisla
ture has been able to modify the sys
tem of taxation In accordance with
modern Industrial developments. Th
tax laws of New York may be far
from perfect, but they have been to
a large measure followed by states
whose constitutions permit such leg
islation. Many other states, unable
to enact similar statutes because of
constitutional limitations, are trying
to remove those barriers, and the
laws of New York are frequently used
as an argument for the granting of
greater freedom."
. If Oregon had a constitutional pro-
:i.n similar to that of New York
it would be powlble to exempt mort
gages from taxation and thus do away
with a situation that haa led to much
complaint h-re, both from borrowers
and lender.
In his opening messuRe to the legis
lature Governor Wlthycombe recom
mended that the lepis-Tbe-
Ilniu-tl lature submit to the
Of IVh 8. people nn amendment
giving ' the governor
pewf-r to remove a district attorney
ir sheriff f .und refusing to perform
his duty. The sugce.itlon vvu made
with a view to securing effective en
forcement of the prohibition law.
Yesterday a resolution complying
with the governor's recommendation
wmi before the state senate, having
been introduced by Miss Clarke, and
it was defeated. The discussion
brought out statements from repub
lican senators that the governor no
longer desired the amendment sub
mitted, he being quotes as satisfied
with the power given him under the
legislative measured passed two yean
ago.
The senate even refused to accept
a suggestion by Senator Garland that
the present law relating to the re
moval of sheriffs and district attor
neys be changed so as to give the gov
ernor power to remove an official for
90 days while charges against him
were being presented in the courts.
Had this suggestion been adopted the
ability of the governor to command
effective law enforcement would have
been immensely strengthened. With
out such improvements In the law the
governor will be without power to
take summary action when necessary
unless he follows the precedent set
by Governor Wet and makes use ol
the militia.
If when the prohibition days ar
rive the law is not enforced and the
machinery of administration is found
too cumbersome for effective work
the people may find the cause of the
trouble in the state senate's record
for February 8.
are the people of the south to be given
to understand they must rely sold)
upon the republican party to pa)
these claims?"
Judging from the foregoing which
haa all the earmarks of frankne.su and
truth It may be seen that the guy boys
of the senate who believe In keeping
the nation's coin In circulation are by
no means all of one political faith. It
its furthermore apparent that if the
democrats huve been protecting the
treasury at nil times us they seem to
have done rec:trdini? these southern
war claims they are not as txtrava-
runt as some would have people be
l.eve.
Already there is enough building
work in sight here to make the 1914
record look small and timt last year's
record was not bad either.

(From The London Tit-Bits,)
A good deal of comment was arou
fced lately by the dismissal of a boy
from Eton, his mother contending
that it would be a standing disability
to him In all his future career. But
he la remarkably good company, for
quite a number of men who have
left their mark on the world began
their career by being "sacked" from
school.
Robert Southey, who became poet
laureate of England, was dismissed
from Westminster school by the fa
mous Dr. VincenX. The school at that
time had a magazine called The Fla
gellent, and In this the budding poet
published an article on flogging
which quite failed to please the chief
administrator of corporal punishment.
In fact. It incensed him to such a de
gree that Southey was expelled.
It Is a most amaxlng fact that po
ets have had quite a penchant ror
getting "sacked," as they call It at
Harrow. Byron was expelled from
Harrow three times for being rebel
lious and defiant. Today the poet
who wrote the great "Ode to a Sky
lark" Is the chief glory of University
college.
Cllve. the conqueror of India, to
whom we chiefly owe the British as
cendancy In that vast empire, was ex

The Reality of War.
Mr. McGovern, a heavyweight gen
tleman of London, East End, who
had never been known to work, but
who, nevertheless, has added to the
population of the earth in figures up
to 10, suddenly became heroic and
enlisted. The following dialogue took
place between Mrs. McGovern and a
lady, Mrs. McGovern being happy and
complacent In the receipt of her 27-
from the war office:
Mrs. McGovern Good morning,
miss.
Lady Good morning, Mrs. McGov

to the war.
Mrs. McGovern (cheerfully) Tea,

Natural cussedness makes crimi

has often put a man in the hero
class.
We often suspect that many of
these convenient headaches are due
to laziness.
As a rule, when a woman laughs
at a fellow's Jokes it always has a
forced sound.

, In its literal sense the verb "adver
tise" means to "turn to."
The manufacturer who uses the
printed word seeks to turn public
attention to his goods.
The retailer advertises to "turn
people towards" his counter.
That counter is the ultimate meeting
place where the results of both the
manufacturers' and dealers' sales ef
forts must be measured.
Newspaper advertising proves the most effec
tive for the manufacturer because it sends cus
tomers direct to the dealers counter.
The dealer in turn co-operates with this ad
vertising because he can make this trade "turn
to" his store.
