THE NEfESSARY MAN.
r-r J
terra now many oj. uur reau-,
ers have given serious thought
to whom the tax-payer really is?
What constitutes a tax-payer? .
In answer, 99 people out of
every 100 will tell you that a tax
payer is a party possessed of real
or personal property on which an
assessment is made in order to
raise sums of money wherewith
to meet the many expenses of
maintaining national, state, 'and
county offices; for the support of
schools and many public institu
tions. Also to make certain im
provements of a public nature.
When one has property on which
a tax levy is made for the pur
poses above enumerated, he is a
tax-payer, according to the com
' mon idea. .
AH very ' correct. But is the
person owning the property , the
the only tax-payer? - No! Every
man who buys of our merchants
is to a more or less degree a tax
payer. He may not be a saver,
but he is a toiler, a producer
through his labor, and the return
for this industry goes to him of
whom he purchases - and in- this
manner any man who, by his la
bor pays his way as he goes, be
comes a factor in the tax-paying
problem. ' . s .
One who serves far his livr
ing, and lias no estate subject by
law to a tax levy, can only be
counted a tax-payer even on the
lines we have prescribed when
he patronizes his home people.
By patronizing home industry he
is- one of the necessities of his
community; a producer; in a lim
ited way, a tax-payer. But if he
earns his living in a certain com
munity, owns no taxable estate,
but sends the reward" of his toil
abroad for everything : he Con
sumes, he is no longer a commu
nity asset, look at it as you will
He is a dram on the", community
in which he lives and any section
is better off without such men
ratronize your own : people so
long as they can supply that
whicn you require. When you
can no longer be supplied at
home then you may be forgiven
if you buy abroad. ' -
Oriental civilization into one."
According to the above para
graph, Japan already has her
work mapped out for another
hundred years. Should she change
her mind and conclude to whip
us, she would have the hundred
year's contract just the same. -

POSSIBLY TOO HARSH.
A short time ago Rev. E. E.
Cawood was tarred and feather
ed at Goldendale, Wash. -- We
have not learned the exact rea
son, . if there was any, for such
lavish outlay of feathers, time
and tar,' but the papers are still
publishing reviews from the rev
erend gentleman. V " '
Rev. Cawood is at present back
at his home in Portland," and ' is
still preaching the gospel as he
interprets it. Formerly he was
a dentist and possibly may have
drifted f rom a prpf ession that he
understood into one for which he
was unfitted- He certainly has
the faith, for he is reported to
have buttoned the tar and feath
ers under his Prince Albert and
continued to address his congre
tion. . -. - . ' ...
Portland reporters now declare
him to be free of feathers and
seem inclined to the opinion ithat
he's a pretty good fellow after all,
If he didn't save the feathers he is
a loser on the deal, for they are
worth 50 cents perjpound.
TOO SOON FOR FEAR.
Back From Coos.
it is ever interesting to note
the presistency of a certain class
of individuals who are eternally
- declaring that lightening is just
about to "hit" somewhere. Con
gressman J. "A. - T- Hull, chair
man of the house committee on
military '.. affairs, '; has given out
that he is shivering with fear
that far in the future we are to
have war with Japan over the
possession of ' the Philippines.
He guesses the time of action to
' be about fifteen years hence.
v . Congressman Hull and others
are of the opinion that when
'. Japan has drubbed Russia to her
satisfaction the lads of the
Flowery Kingdom will fancy they
can whip any nation on earth and
-. will cast covetous eyes upon ' the
Philippines. Now, in truth, the
Japanese are a peace-loving peo
ple and are opposed to war. If
their own peace and happinesses
threatened they will fight, as all
Christendom is aware. - But we,
the people of the . United States,
, are a just nation' and" will not
give Japan any reason to believe
that we wish .her people harm.
Without a grievance on one . side
or the other there ' will be no " war
. , at any time, and "where is such
grievance to spring from?
At a recent club dinner in New
rr i-
August Fischer arrived . home,
last Thursday,?, from a ten-days
trip down' the coast. He went to
Portland, and took the steamer
to Coos Bay. Here Mr. Fischer
reports to have found everything
very quiet, but of course this is
the quiet time ot the year.
North Bend, a small place on
the bay that has 'been . boomed
like fury in the past, seemed to
August, to be unusally quiet. The
return trip our citizen made over
