says the veto message. "The act uo
dertakes to separate from the rest of
tlie taxable property in Ibe state .nil
land oof now in timber of merchant
able size nud chiefly valuable for the
Iiurjjoie of growing suii timber, and
undertake a to deal with such lands
for purposes of taxation In a manner
thit la different from that provided by
law with respect to other assessable
property.
"Under this proposed act the state
board of forestry would have the pow
er of valuing the landa for assessment
purposes. The state board of forestry
consists of the governor, the acting
head of (he forest school of Oregon
Agricultural college and five electors
of the state of Oregon, to be ap
pointed by the governor from . and
upon the authoritative recommenda
tion of the Oregon Plate grange, the
Oregon forest fire association, the
West Coast Lumberman's association,
the United Btates forest service and
the Oregon wool growers' association,
each to select and name one of such
members. The board therefore cou
sin tv of seven members, five of wbom
are appointed by five different private
organizations,
Power Too Great.
"Assessing property 'for the pur
pose of taxation is ono of the mont
important functions of government. It
is intolerable that such powerB sjiould
he exercised by a board the majority
of the member'! of which ere appoint
ed neither by the electorate nor by
any governmental agency whatever,
but vulely by private organizations
standing in no responsible relation to
the state, and controlled, it may be, by
persons who are not even citizens of
the Btate. The appointment of the,
member of the state board of forestry1
in this fashion Is repugnant to the
whole spirit of representative gov
ernment. Its constitutionality should
be tested at an early date by the su
preme court. This bill is built up
around this state board of forestry,
vesting in the bonrd greater power
thnn should be exercised by any com
mission so constituted.

this uft
tion for two full generstlons the state
would be bound by contract to change
the assessment upon lands ao classi
fied. Tax Payment Deferred.
"Tho payment of one-half of hio
taxes baaed on the assessment by tho
board of forestry would be deferred (o
the end of the term. Lmring the term
no other taxes than the property tax
so provided may be assessed on any
aiich lends or any timber thereon or
ou uny profits thereon or upon the
business represented by tbeir har
vesting. This last provision may u
designed to prevent tbel imposition of
any severance tax upon the removal
of timber from such lands or any tax
upon the income derived from tho
business of marketing such timber.
"Under the present form of our
constitutional legislation respecting
the power of taxation (article IX,
section 1), whereby assessment and
taxation are required to be 'uniform'
but are not required to the 'equal'
there ia eminent judicial authority for
the view that the legislature may
authorize such a contract between tiie
atate and a land owner, and that once
auch a contract ia made, it ia binding
upon the atate. It may well be be
lieved that once thia bill becomes a
law all owners of lands within its pur
vey will hasten to contract with the
state in accordance with its provis
ions. If such a contract be binding
upon the state, and there ia in mv
judgment grave reason to apprehend
v-Ri ii would De, tbe atate would be
bound to the owners of these lunds
for two generations not to change iu
any respect whatever its policy of
taxation adopted in this bill.
"in my long experience in leglala
tlre work in the state of Oregon I
never have examined a bill that might
be as far reaching and aa aerioua in
its consequences as this one."

KEEP LOOKING Yl
It's EasyIf You Know Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to feel
young to do this you must watch your
fiver and bowels there's no need of
having a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes pimples a bilious
look in your facedull eyes with no
sparkle. Yourdoctor will tell youninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
fiver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bri-ig
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
Dr.Edwards'OliveTablets are know
by their olive color. 15c and 30c
