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. Silo Expert Coming 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.
