City Taxation Figures
Statistics compiled by the Oregon Voter show that while
assessed valuations have slumped in most Oregon municipal
ities during the past five years, taxation has continued to
increase. The 167 Oregon cities are assessed at $2,000,000
loss than in 1914, the increase in city taxes levied in the same
period is 73.8 percent.
Salem is the only city of over 2,500 population which de-
creased its city taxes in a greater proportion than its
assessed valuations were decreased, wnicn wouia maicate
that Salem is the most conservatively and economically
managed municipality in the state.
The following table gives the comparison of city taxes and
city valuations for 1915 and 1921 for the cities of Marion
and Polk counties:

In many of the smaller cities, the increased taxation is
due to necessary public improvements such as ater and
sewer systems and paving, which were completed years ago
in other cities so that high taxation does not necessarily
imply poor management.
The Nigger in the Woodpile
The ethiopian in the emergency tariff woodpile has been
uncovered by Senator King of Utah, who has moved for an
inquiry into the circumstances under which this first "con
structive" measure of the Harding administration was
enacted.
The senator charges, and backs the accusation up with an
array of facts and figures, that the real beneficiary of the!33'". "Oh baby, baby, your

My rooms looked out over the
tennis courts. Larry, Bab, Duane
and a young woman whom I did
not know were playing.
"I can not play tennis with Lar
ry in the morning," I said to my
self. "I have to begin my new
life."
"Why not begin it now?" a
sjnall voice inside of me whispered
and drawing a funny little lap
pad to me that I had used ever
since I was a girl, I curled up on
the chaise-longue and began to
write. The story seemed almost to
write itself and I thought it was
good. Like "Her Marriage" my
first attempt at fiction it had
one sparking situation but In this
story a young woman found her
self and her soul before marriage
instead of after.
Luncheon time came and I was
in the midst of this most exciting
situation when Bab came to my
door asking impatiently if I had
not been called to luncheon.
"I am not coming down," I said
"What are you doing? Writ
ing to that man?"
"No. Writing for that man.
But I wish you would go away and
not talk to me."
"And I wish that you would
come downstairs, and act like a
sane person," Bab rejoined sharp
ly. "Even Bart is Inquiring for
you."
"Well I am not coming. I have
ordered my luncheon sent up here
I am going to finish this story or
at least write until my ideas give

tariff was not the farmer, but the monopoly controlling
chemicals and dye-stuffs headed by the Duponts, which is
substantially and materially benefitted thereby in return for
making-up the deficiency in republican" campaign funds.
Senator King's charges are backed up by Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, who declares that the chemical and dye
features were incorporated in the emergency tariff bill under
circumstances that justified complete censure.
The resolution sets forth the charge that "the dye indus
try is controlled by a combination of corporations, which is,
in fact, a monopoly, and has employed agents, attorneys and
lobbyists, to influence congress in behalf of special legisla
tion in the interests of such monopoly."
It is the same old story the same old scandal that the
protective tariff always breeds, of special interests seeking
enrichment at public expense in return for campaign con
tributions. And the farmer as usual, plays the part of goat.
As far as benefitting the producer is concerned, the emerg
ency tariff is a fake and a fraud, but it wins 'his support of
tariff benefitting profiteers.

When 1 reached my room my
eye fell upon the letters from Ro
land Karly, editor of the magazine
which purchased my story, and I
realized that even though I had
been listening to Bab's philosophy
Larry's love-quaking and mother's
sermonctte, yet back in my head
I had been thinking about how I
should proceed In order to make
myself self supporting.
I could uot help wondering how
dad and mother would take my
decision to provide a home for my
self and my boy and I was already
trying to decide just how I should
arrange for the care of Baby Hal.
It svciued tu me that if 1 could
get a place in a magazine office
perhaps as reader where I could
work into writing, the height of
my ambition would be reached. I
determined to try that position
and get it if possible.
Again I picked up the letters
from Mr. Eavly and read them.
I did not entirely agree with
Bab about them. I 'felt that the
editor was really interested in my
story and because of it, was per
haps interested in the persona-:y
of the writer. I pondered over
how I might write him without tm
posing my own personal affairs
upon a busy man. Finally I de
termined to write another story
which had been taking shape in
mother is going to be someone you
may be proud of. She is going to'
lie able to take care of you and
she is going to be very happy
doing it."
Again Bab came to my door.
"Have the fires of genius burned
out?" she called with a sarcastic
grin. "Will you deign to come
down and talk with ordinary mort
als this evening? We are all going
out to the Country Club for din
ner and mother told me to tell you
that she thought it was perfectly
proper for you to go. My, but
you look dragged out! Go and
take your bath and doll up."
"All right, Bab," I said "I'll do
that very thing."
An hour later as I came down
the stairs iu a wLUa canton crepe
sport suit and my little white
crepe outing hat, I knew I was
looking very well. Out of defer
ence to my mother I was wearing
white mourning although it had
always seemed to me that an out
ward show of grief proclaimed by
certain dress, was an exhibition of
either great egotism or great sel
fishness to think that ones grlei
is not more or less of a bore to
one's friends who unconsciously oi
consciously resent its being foisted
upon them. No one, is loved
enough that she may throw a pall
over a whole company by an out
ward semblance of grief But the
bride and the baby wear white as
well as those who mourn, conse
quently the fact that one in ex
hibiting bereavement, is not so ap
parent.
"Why didn't you come to lunch
eon?" asked Larry. "I've missed
you all the afternoon. Do you
know I do not understand how I
have been able to be happy with
out you all the years that I have!
not known you?"

Pyron Surrenders To
Posse Without Show
of Resistance; Didn't
Want to Escape
Kelso, Wash., June 13. Deputy
sheriffs and possemen who last
night surrounded a swamp north
of here into which a man said to
resemble Hoy Gardner, escaped
convict, was seen slinking, still
maintained their vigil this morn
ing and hoped to close in on the
fugitive if he was still within the
cordon.
' Norris H. Pyron, Gardner's con
federate in the daring escape from
their guards on a train early Sat
urday morning was put in jail here
last night following his capture on
the outskirts of Kelso. He sur
rendered without offering resist
ance when a posse found him hid
ing in the grass.
Pvron Terror Strieker,.
Pyron 's captors said he was ter
ror stricken and appeared greatly
relieved when he was put in a cell
'n the county jail.
Pyron talked freely and said he
did not intend to escape, but was
lorcedt o accompany Gardner un
der threat of death. Pyron was
taken to the office of Prosecuting
uiorney William Stewart last
night and gave a statement.
He said he left Gardner a short
distance south of Castle Rock,
Oardner telling him to "beat it."
He came south and passed an au
tomobile camp in the earlv morn
ing along the road. After skirting
the camp he continued aljjng the
highway, remaining in the brush
iar enough back to be concealed
He stopped in the morning at the
ranch of F. L. Stack, four mile
touth of Castle Rock. He went to
the house and obtained some
lunch. He remained in the vicin
ity until about noon and returned
to the house and bought dinner for
50 cents. He stayed in the barn
on the Stack place over night
without the family knowing of his
presence and in the morning start
ed south toward Kelso.
Ate at Restaurant.
He ate dinner at the Liberty
restaurant at Kelso, and bought a
newspaper at a news stand then
going to the river bank sat down
and read the story of his escape
FearlD l go into town he went
hack no the tracks, and was a
short distance outside the city
when he was captured.
Pyron's account ot the manner
in which the escape was effected
coincided with the first account
sent from Castle Rock Saturday.
He said he and his guard were in
the smoking room when Gardner
asked his guard to be permitted to
go to the lavatory. Gardner re
mained there a long time, and
when the guard opened the door
Gardner with his manacled hands
raised a revolver from inside his
shirt and stuck it into the guard's
stomach, warning him not to make
an outcry and ordering him to
walk back to the compartment
With the guard covered Gardner
forced him to remain seated until
Pyron and his guard returned
from the smoking room. Then
Gardner had Pyron remove the
handcuffs from himself and place
them on th guard. The guards
were then handcuffed together
and fastened to the steampipe.
Pyron said he twice went to the
lavatory and tried to get rid of a
gun Gardner had given him, but
that each time Gardner asked him
if he still had the weapon, threat
ening him if he did not come
along. The pair escaped from the
train at Castle Rock.
Pyron said Gardner told him he
had the revolver sewed In a pocket
in his shirt two weeks before he
left San Francisco.

AN EDITORIAL
ON BUYING
The men who signed the Declaration of
Independence had faith in it. It success meant
fame its failure, death. But they had faith
they identified themselves with it they
signed.
So with the manufacturer who trade-marks
and advertises his goods. His trade-mark is
his signature to the pledge "I back this
article, its quality, its value, and its service to
the public. I am responsible for it; the praise
or blame belongs to me."
He has faith.
"Caveat Emptor!'
the buyer beware!"
said the Romans "Let
'"Buy by the trade-mark name!" we say to.
day "Let the buyer be wise!"
Today if a man makes a product that is good
enough to be proud of, he trade marks and
advertises -it, that all the world may know
him as the author. This mark is his pledge of
quality of his responsibility of his word of
honor to you that he backs his product to the
limit. And if a manufacturer does these
things, let the buyer be wise let him look for
the trade-mark name and buy with his money
a pledged commodity.
But if a manufacturer avoids or neglects
these things if he makes and sells a product
without mark, name or sponsor "Caveat
Emptor!"
The Government specifies that silverware
must contain 925-1000 of the virgin metal be
fore it can bear the mark "Sterling." This is
for your protection.
But what of such products as tooth-brushes,
hats, kitchen utensils and collars? There is
no Government specifications of quality there!
What protection have you in buying these and
the thousand other things you use in daily life?
You have the trade-mark name of estab
lished reputation.
Remember that a manufacturer's advertised
trade-mark name is to an article of merchan
dise what a signature is to a letter. It is a sym
bol with which he says "I made this article
and I'm proud of it."
An un-trade-marked article is like an anony
mous letter it may be trustworthy, but who
knows ? If the manufacturer knows, his trade
mark isn't there to prove it. It is a pig " 4
poke a doubtful quantity.
It is for all of us to spend our money as we
see fit. It is for the wisest of us to get the ut
most of quality and value for our moneyaw
