The Tax Liberator published In its late Issue a tabulation showing the per capita cost of conducting the various municipalities uf the stste of Oregon. The editor of the Liberator saya: "The real test of economy in public expenditure is the per capita cost., ' Mlllage -rates mean next to nothing. To get a propef "comparl son we must determine how much It costs for each . person , in the com munity. There, are some startling ,-dlscrepanctes. In the city of Fossil , the cost of city government is $1.13 per head. In Llnnton it is $27.30 ;5 per head-." .. . ' Based upon a population of 4,000, ! the per capita expense of the city of j Grants Pass is giren at $4.84, not aj bad showing as compared with other I cities of the same class. Ashland is ! credited with a population of 6,000 J and Roseburg with 6,500, a discre-! pancy in their favor over Grants Pass not warranted by census reports, yet at that Ashland is spending,. $6.97 per capita and Rpee&urg" $4.55.

Medford pays $4.15, but this figure is based upon a population of 12,300, and an y annual expenditure of $51,128. The cost of administration in other cities of the state runs as follows: Pendle ton, $7.50; Oregon City, $5; Port land, . $7.97; Salem, 8.70;-. The " Dalles,', -ftVAa;?1' Astoria, $8.12; v-.4?AtEena,''$9.50; Klamath Falls, $6.03, and LaGrande, $8.23. It would, of course, require a per sonal inspection of each of the cities named to know how well the money was expended, and whether or not the people were getting value re ceived for the expenditure. It Is notable however that Grants Pass has been," on the average, well policed, its lire department liberally main tained, its streets properly and plen tifully lighted and cleaned, and other departments of the city government conducted along reasonable lines. There are many communities that have more to kick about than Grants Pass. . i. v '"ft War Is Hereby Declared on Merchandise Prices : The GOLDEN' RULE STORE filled to the brim with the most astonishing bargains that the people of Grants Pass and vicinity have ever had at the dawn of the season. v; In a Ulighty 10 Days' Battle with Rapid Fire Guns of Gut Prices This sale coming at the most opportune time will be a veritable boon for Grants Pass people.

More than 240 new game laws were enacted during 1915 a larger number than in any previous year except 1911 according to Farmers' Bulletin 692, "Game Laws for 1915." Forty-three states held regular legis lative sessions, and In all of these states except Arizona, Georgia and Nebraska som changes were made In the statutes protecting game. The largest number of new game laws passed In any one state was 61, in North Carolina; but in California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Ore gon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the number reached fen or more. Sev eral measures were vetoed, Includ ing a general game bill In Idaho, the first bill appropriating the hunt ing llcenw fund In Pennsylvania, a till protecting bears In California, and three sections of the game bill In Washington..

A new chapter in steel combinations, as great as that of the United States Steel cor poration 15 years ago, is being writ ten here, according to rumors In Wall street today. News of the formation of the Mid vale Steel and Ordnance company, with $100,000,000 capital, had scarcely been received when another gigantic combine, backed by Charles M. Schwab and Henry C. Frlck, was reported. This combine, the reports said, will bring together the Penn sylvania Steel company and the Beth lehem Steel company, with perhaps the Cambria Steel company thrown in for full measure. The Mid vale combination has as Its 'backers the Rockefeller-Corey-Converse group. Supporters of the big combine plans are said to foresee not alone the vast profits of "war orders" but also a return demand for American steel products after the war unprecedent ed in American history.
