Why do wo have to give somebody a special graft every time something for the lienetit of the country is pro posed? Conserve the forests by nil means, but exempting from taxes the trees grown on timber land while taxing the trees grown on orchard lands sounds like a graft. The timber land grabber never planted those trees. He has never paid his just Krtion of the local taxes on even tho land. In many instances his title was obtained through knavery, fraud and perjury of more kinds than it is necessary to mention. Ho has neither sewed nor protected nor reaped; vet along comes even the hon orable I'inchot and propose to exempt his timber in order to conserve it. It should make the farmer tired to hear these exports talk about exempting the timber grabber's wealth, while old Hay set d pays taxes on every stroke of labor and improvements he puts on his clearing. The fanner is to shoulder more of the public burdens on his livestock, fences, orchards, ditches, furniture and have his reclaimed land taxed tive times more than the raw land hold by speculators along sida, and the timber is not to be taxtM at all. In the words of the poet, Avaunt, git out, scat! Any ten year old boy could tell uh how to preserve timber from spoliation and waste to better advantage than by rewarding the grablers thereof with ex emption from taxation. One hundred and ninety men out of two hundred will tell you how they could have made a fortune a few years ago by in vesting in land. Yea, no doubt. Hut what gets us is that one hundred and eighty nine of these men will not invest in land now. People are growing more num erous, but the land is just the same in area as when Oregon bad 1,000 people in it. Land - A - LUM LUF that is irrigator! within the last (Wiido lias increased in market value from $.10 to $1000 an acre and men who have seen these things still refuso to buy irri gated land with every climatic advantage and commercial facil ities for $100 an acre. Fvery time the population doubles in number land is going to quad- j ruple in valuo. There are less! than a hundred million people in the United States today. In another generation there will be two hundred million and most of them west of the Mississippi river. Get a piece of land in Kcho and quit being a chump. The Progressive League pro poses to elect the Legislature once in six years, but they should have a session annually. If five of the sessions were cut out the amendment would tit our notions bett r. Oregon lawyers are getting together and proposing amend ments and laws for us, but the grangers and the farmer's union need to get together and pro pose some amendment that will cut out one half the laws and throw four-fifths of the lawyers out into the potato patches to hoe weeds for a living. This can be done by providing for a two thirds jury verdict, forbid ding appeals on technicalities. and requiring lawyers to occupy but one hour in examining witnesses and making their' talk to the jury. A trial con'j sinning over two hours is a graft to the taxpayer. j Only last year the people of Oregon by a vote of over three to one for the third time said they wanted the legislature to distinctly understand that here after the people would name the United States Senators.. Yet, some wise guys are telling us that the fool people didn't know what they wanted, didn't mean what they said, and further more, are not going to be petted and pampered in their fool notions anyhow. The Assembly has boon evolved, and the peo-1 pie?--well, the people be d d! And it may be so; but brethren, a sleepy mule can kick further i and harder thonhis looks would! indicate. Don't tickle his heels ' too rudely. in. REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The Hank of Echo, at Echo, in the State of Oregon, at the close of busi ness September 1. 1SHW. HESOl'RCES.

Here they are. You must think of the first one as representing life, of the second one as representing liberty and the third one ns representing the pursuit of Impplness.
