T H E OLD CRY OF ’ ‘ W O L F ”
The Herald is in receipt o f a com
munication from a so-called “ tax
retnrm” association which claims
to have been formed by tbe farmers
of southern Oregon. Its main ob
ject at present seems to be to fight
the $ 1 5 0 0 tax exemption
That
poor measure seems to be getting
it from all sides. It is simply won
derful what large and sympathetic
hearts the large land holders and
capitalists develop about election
time. They are so afraid that the
“ poor man” and laborer is going to
be sent to the poor bouse by some
proposed law. This one is going
to ruin all the larmers, wipe all the
small communities off the map and
break up all the small business men.
The association says:
“ The $1500 Exemption Bill, as
you of course know, is single Tax
in disguise. It simply exempts
personal property and puts the tax
on land. That is something tbe
farmers cannot stand. It this mea
sure is allowed to become a law it
will not only drive farmers of! the
land bnt will prostrate many of our
smaller communities whose land
cannot stand single tax, break many
small businesses and give the state
such an incipient case of U’Rentitis
that she will be years in recovering
from it.”
There you have it It is “ single
tax in disguise,’ ’ and that settles it
Tbe old "socialistic" bugaboo is
losing its terrors since so many new
schemes that were branded as so
cialistic are working out well in
practice
Now anything like real
tax reform and simplification of the
tax system is single tax in disguise.
The dire prophecy of disaster given
above has a sort of familiar sound,
though, don’ t you think? A few
days ago, away back in a drawer,
we ran across a bunch of "co p y ”
that had evidently been sent out
“ free’’ to the newspapers some
years ago when the parcel post bill
was pending in congress. It is
amusing to read it now, in the light
of later developments.
For in
stance, take the following:
“ If the Local Rural Parcels Post
bill is passed, the small town will
be eliminated and the farmer will
be materiallv injured; the value of
his property, which depends upon
his proximity to a town and acces
sibility to the railroad, will be de
creased. All the money wtll go to
the large cities, which are not in
terested in the welfare of the local
community, and our whole present
system of divelopment will be
changed for the worse.”
The people were not fooled very
much by tire cry ol “ wolf” tn the
case of the parcel post. Will they
be fooled this time?
Some day the real wolf may ap
pear, and then these great adtnou-
ishers may wish that they had re
tained some shred'of influence.
the local merchant take larger doses
of his own medicine? How many
grocery stores in Coquiile carry
soap made in Coos county? How
many sell brooms made in Coos
county? How many de lers push the
product of Coos county cigar factor
ies? In how many of the places where
candy is sold do you find the pro
duct of the candy factories of Cons
county? It is a poor rule that
doesn’t work both ways, and what
is sauce for the “ ultimate consumer”
ought to be Bauce for tbe dealer.
What?
So far as reported, the Portland
business men who recently looked
over the county made no large con
tracts for the purchase of Cooe
county products.
NOTES ON THE PHOTOPLAYS
Of Interest to Those Who
Patronize the Movies
Now we wish to recommend to
every lover of a good picture the
Vitagraph three-reel feature, “ Lost
in Mid Ocean’ ,’ which will be
shown at the Scenic next Saturday
night. We do not know the story
or the actors who will appear in
this picture, but we do know that
the Vitagraph company actually
sunk a large steamer in making
the film, and they would not have
gone to that expense in getting out
anything but a first-class production.
One of the “ Dolly of the Dailies”
series will be shown at the Scenic
tonight, and Pauline will be here
Thursday evening.

Some Corn Exhibited
Other Products Wanted
County
Agriculturalist J. L
Smith has on display in tbe window
of his office here five stalks of corn
Irom one hill which looks as though
' corn could he raised in Ceos county.
The tallest stalk is eleven feet in
I height and the five average leo
! feet. Each stalk but one bears uu
| ear of corn, and one stalk has two
They come from the laim ol C. M.
[ and O H. Aaseu near Arago The
j variety is the Yellow Dent, Minne
sota No 13 , and Mr Smith says this
is proving the best variety for eu-
silage in this pari of the county.
Minnesota No. 23 and Minnesota
No. 13 are beiug given a thorough
try-out this season
No 23 is early
in maturing but is smaller.
It is
better adopted to a short season and
also gives better results near tbe
coast where tbe ocean breeze is
strong. But in the vicinity of C o
quille or farther inland the No. 13
is considerably the better.
This has been a poor season for
corn and some very poor crops are
seen. This is due in many cases,
however, to poor seed
Mr Smith
urge» the tanners to pay more at
tention to their seed and to test it
in all cases.
Mr. Smith is anxious to have the
farmers bring in exhibits to his of
fice here, so that they may be placed
on display where they will be seen
by others aud especially by visitors
who are interested in tbe agricultur
al possibilities of tbe Coquille valley.
As an inducement, he offers to the
farmer who will bring in the best
five stalks of corn a year’s subscrip
tion to Hoard’s Dairyman He also
wants a showing in the line ol dairy
stock, and (or tbe photograph of
the best calf raised this season on
skim milk he will give one year’s
subscription to Hoard’.-. Dairyman.
As Mr. Smith’s office is not open
at all times, the Herald will volun
teer to take care of any products
brought in during his absence and
turn them over to him upon his re
turn.
He especially invites the farmers
to make use of a number ol the best
standard books on agriculture,
which are kept in his office for their
benefit.
