THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE. FRIDAY, JAN. 1G, 1903. COUNTY AND CITY TAXES. Outside ot Corvallis and Philo math the taxpayers of Benton county will have to pa; a rate of 283 mills this year, and, in ad dition, whatever special school levy is voted by the school dis trict in which their property lies. Of this amount, 6 5 nvlls are for the state; 15 mills for county; 5 mills for state schools; and 2 mills for road purposes. Corvallis property will be taxed 264 mills for state, county and state school) besides a special school tax of mill and an es timated city tax of 7 mills, mak ing in all, 43 mills. It is explained that 10 of the mills county levy is to provide for running expenses for the current year, and 5 mills are for roads and bridges. This 5-mill levy upon a property valuation of $2,509,605, will yield a sum amounting to $12,548, which will be expended for county roads and bridges wherever the court may direct. The funds arising from the regular road levy of 2 mills, are apportioned back to road districts from which they are collected. Corvallis and Philomath are exempt irom the 2-mill jroad tax, but none of the funds arising from it are expended in either of these places. Taxpayers ot these in corporated towns are compelled . to pay a citv street tax of 2 mills, which makes their burden for road purposes equal to that ot their country brethren. It is announced further, that the 5 mills for roads and bridges were added to the necessary 10 mills for county purposes, so that taxpayers of Corvallis and Philo math would have to assist in building county roads and bridges. Under this arrangement, owners of country property will pay 7 mills toward building county roads and bridges, and taxpayers of Corvallis and Philomath will pay 5 mills for the same purpose, and 2 mills for street improve ment. MEANS HIGHER SALARIES. , Senator M. A. Miller, demo crat, of Linn county, has intro duced a fiat-salary bill in the senate fixing salaries as follows Governor ..... $0 000 Sacretary of State... 4 500 State Treasurer 3 000 The present - fiat salaries pro vided by the state constitution are: Governor...... $1 500 Sjcretary of State 1 500 State Treasurer.? 800 Here is evidence supporting the Gazette's statement in reply to the democratic demand for "fiat salaries" during and since the June campaign, that this agitation for "fiat salaries" meant "higher salaries." The state now pays its officers flat salaries, and with the excep tion of the governor, whatever sum they get in excess of the amounts stipulated in the. con stitution does not come from the pockets of the taxpayers. - Mr. Miller's bill, provides that all fees collected from corpora tions and individuals shall be paid over to the state treasury and credited to the general fund. It is doubtful if this bill can be come a law without an amend ment to the constitution, but if it should, some ambitious legis lator will present a bill within the next few years abolishing ali lees and perquisites, now paid by individuals, and the taxpayers will wonder where the economy in the present "flat salary" agi tation coines in. ' EVADING The constitution. Partisans of Mr. Geer, who are urging his candidacy for United States senator, are fearful lest legislators will show disre gard for the Mays law and evade the strict letter of that act which has no legal significance. But, if the Mays law takes the election of a senator out of the legislature and gives the people power to make a direct choice as the Geer partisans are claiming it does is not the Mays law itself - a violation of the constitution of . the United States, and an open evasion of the plain intent of the supreme law of the land which states clearly that the legislature shall chose senators, and the Deople shall elect representatives? If "it is a. principle that is at stake" let us be careful how we disregard the constitution of the United States. If the framers of that document had intended to have the legislature act as a sort of electoral college in chosing a senator, they knew how. to say .co and their language would have left no doubt as to their purpose. Let tss net talk ol "ptiaciple," while urging its violation. Bcllfotintalu Notes. Mr. Oscr Pel in, of Union home afirr couutv, has returned a visit here with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Reese are visiting at Vancouver, Wash. The new wagon road over Oliver mountain, west of town, is reported nearly completed.

P. and with a friend he' wen out hunting near Ashland, a week ago. In some manner a revolver in the hands of Williamson was accidentally discharg ed, with tbe result above recorded. The wound ia not thought to ba serious. That it is against the law to run der with hounds seems to be n matter of small consequence in the opinion of some hunters. A short time ftiso a ne, large deer passed through the d-ioryar.l of a farmer near Wells, and directly afterward the houada appeared in full chase. The latter were thrown off the trail by the women folks at the house, but in a short time they returned, caught the scent and disappeared in the direction the deer had taken. It is thought the deer was cap tured later on. ... George Guyer, who has been ill with typhoid fever at the John Harris home, suffered a relapse a short time ago, but is now on the mend. A. J.

EJ Wilson, one of cur gay bachelors, went to Buena Viet, Sunday, to do farm work for a few day?. , Pearl Carter and Oscar DeAtlev went to Crowley, Sunday, to engage in a coy ote hunt, as the little pests are so num erous in that locality that their exter mination is a profitable employment for experienced hunters.

A "box" social, for the benefit of the Artisan lodge, was given at the hall, Friday evening, - with great success. The attendance was good and 36.70 was realized from the sale of baskets. A "hard times" social is being talked of for the near future.- A good idea. The whole neighborhood seems intent on securing a supply of fuel for next winter, and. the sound of chopping is heard en All sides. Perhaps but few people in Beaton are aware that in North Benton there is a flouring mill, with full roller process, and that the flour ground is first-class.
